The two families are clearly unable to give up the huge profits brought by the iron mine every year, and carry out the so-called argument based on reason, completely ignoring the law of reason under the imperial power.

It can't be said that these two families don't understand the key point, but these two companies invest a huge amount of money in the iron mines in the eastern suburbs every year, and the profits are considerable.

Mu Lingtian lowered his head and pondered: "The Chu State is big, the imperial power is supreme, but the seven families are not weak, if you distinguish according to the family, in the Chu State, there are actually eight families, the royal family, but the most powerful one, the other families are close behind, now the two major families are joining forces, although the royal family is strong, but we can't underestimate the trouble caused by these two families, which is also a reason that forced the emperor to postpone the discussion." ”

"What's going to be the worst it can be?" Although the result was unknown, Meng Jingwen still wanted to hear Mu Lingtian's thoughts.

Mu Lingtian didn't think that Meng Jingwen would ask about this thing that is difficult for people to guess the ending, but he chuckled: "The two major families will take back the iron mines in the eastern suburbs, but the Sima family will take the first place from the share of the iron mines jointly operated by these three families." ”

When Nangong Wenchuan heard Mu Lingtian's reply, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and his gaze towards Mu Lingtian was also a little admired, but it was only for a moment, and then he returned to a look of disgust.

Meng Jingwen was shocked and asked, "Why, hasn't the royal family been fighting to recover the iron mines?" Meng Jingwen couldn't turn a corner, not long ago, she and Nangong Wenchuan both heard what Mu Lingtian said, and the meaning revealed in the words was clearly that with the support of the Sima family, the royal family would eventually take back the iron mine in the eastern suburbs, and now how did it become that the two major families would successfully take back the iron mine, could it be that there are two iron mines, and the last one can't be one?

Mu Lingtian said lightly: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, even this lucrative iron mine can be used by others as a front to test the guise of the three major families of the Seven Great Families, the emperor does not really want to take back the iron mine, just to see which of the three families is of the same heart and mind as the royal family, and will not easily betray for the sake of interests." ”

What?!

Meng Jingwen was surprised, Jinshan Yinshan was used as a cover, just to simply test the loyalty of the three major families, this game is too big. In other words, Meng Jingwen may not be willing to take the tax equivalent to one-fifth of the Chu State a year to easily make a bet to test people's hearts, what kind of courage does this take.

Nangong Wenchuan then asked curiously, "What can I do if I measure it?" "He is a person from Beiyue, but he has traveled to various countries all the year round, and there are enough eyeliners in various countries like Mu Lingtian, up to the government and opposition in various countries, and down to the countryside and temples, all of which have his own cronies, and Mu Lingtian has set up a lot of heavenly gates in various countries, so he also knows some of the connotations that these two families can be arrogant and arrogant, even if the royal family wants to tear their faces with these two families, it may not be able to make them break their bones in the end, and this emperor has a lot of schemes, which can be said to be suspicious. It is very likely that the pattern of these major families will be maintained and will not tear their faces.

Mu Lingtian turned to look at Nangong Wenchuan, from the very beginning, Mu Lingtian did not shy away from Nangong Wenchuan, who was the prince of Beiyue, listening to the important news of the Chu State on the side, but now Nangong Wenchuan said the doubts in his heart, Mu Lingtian understood it as contempt, and finally said: "Other families are not without flaws to find, naturally there is a way, this Jia Gongzi does not have to worry, but the power of the Beiyue three-headed snake, Jia Gongzi has to be careful." ”

Meng Jingwen stood in the middle of these two proud sons of heaven who represented the two kingdoms, and then thought of the relationship between the three of them, she felt very awkward, and stepped aside at the moment, ignoring these two people, Nangong Wenchuan was afraid that Meng Jingwen would be angry with him, so she didn't go-for-tat with Mu Lingtian anymore, retracted her eyes with Mu Lingtian, looked at her sharply, took a cup of tea and tasted it, and waited for Mu Lingtian's words.

Mu Lingtian didn't care much about Nangong Wenchuan, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "The Sima family has been martial arts for generations, valuing love and righteousness, I must help them with this, and in the end, if they can get the first share of the benefits of the iron mine as I guessed, Bacheng will personally visit him, and at that time, Chang'an's road should go smoother." ”

The smooth road referred to in Mu Lingtian's words does not mean how many resources will be available to Sima Chang'an from now on, and how many contacts the Sima family will open up for Sima Chang'an, but refers to an attitude of recognition, a kind of feasibility that has been recognized by generations of martial arts families, which is undoubtedly the greatest recognition for Sima Chang'an, who wants to prove to his family through the road of official career.

How many days and nights, Mu Lingtian saw Sima Changan alone in the study looking at the drawings of interpersonal relationships, figuring out his thoughts, often coming up with a usable court figure, or verifying the plan and strategy he envisioned, all of them were overjoyed, and now that there was such an opportunity, Mu Lingtian was naturally happy for Sima Changan.

"If this is done, wouldn't the two major families hate the Sima family to the core? Aren't you afraid that the Sima family will be besieged by the two major families because of this? Meng Jingwen's reminder can be said to be very necessary, the Sima family did not follow the two families to the emperor and stood on the same front, they were already being dismissed by the two major families, if they were to get the first position in the share, then the Sima family could still use the imperial power to persecute them, and they couldn't clarify themselves with disloyal lies? So that the two families do not have any grudges?

If it was said that Mu Lingtian wanted the Sima family to avoid the emperor's blow, so the ministers in the court supported the Sima family to give up the iron mine and not offend the royal family, then now this kind of action can be regarded as offending the two major families? Is this method reasonable, and is it really beneficial to the Sima family?

Nangong Wenchuan also agreed with Meng Jingwen's statement, and immediately nodded, but did not make a statement.

Mu Lingtian naturally thought about this, and immediately said: "This is not my intention, the Sima family is more willing to stand on the side of the imperial family than to resist the emperor with the two major families, I just add strength to the Sima family and let the Sima family realize their vision." Besides, the relationship between the two families and the Sima family is not a worldly friend, and there is still this grievance between each other. ”

Having said so much, back to the original point, all of this was done by the Sima family, Mu Lingtian was at best just a helper here, and he did not be the mastermind behind the strong pressure, and the main responsibility for all the consequences was naturally borne by the Sima family itself.

"Okay, now is the entrance to the capital, I'll send someone to send you back." Mu Lingtian didn't talk more nonsense at this time, he immediately glanced at Meng Jingwen, and then looked at Nangong Wenchuan beside Meng Jingwen, looking at Nangong Wenchuan's complexion, it is estimated that he has recovered seventy or eighty percent, so it is the best, and then sent two groups of people, one to send Meng Jingwen back to the mansion, and the other to bring Jia Chuan back to Jiafu, Jia Chuan is in this Chu country, after all, he is still the identity of the prince of an enemy country, so naturally he can't take it with him, let them attract attention, this is a danger to Mu Lingtian, Meng Jingwen, and Jia Chuan himself.

Meng Jingwen and Jia Chuan first got off the boat and walked more than ten meters away on the edge of the dock, and then stopped and turned to look, as if they were looking at something, under the light of the sun, they saw that the river was drenched, and Mu Lingtian on the bed was heroic, but his eyes were complicated, and he was also looking at her side, Meng Jingwen was also complicated in his heart, and there was a faint feeling that this glance was the last separation, and she was immediately a little sad, but she turned her eyes to the boat beside Mu Lingtian, which was the boat where Sima Changan was, Meng Jingwen for a while, There was a feeling that he wanted to say goodbye, so he gritted his teeth and turned around with Jia Chuan and left the dock.

The scene of them playing in the lake of the mansion before, drinking tea, playing chess, and discussing the current situation appeared in front of them for a while, and they all said that when the two of them parted and said goodbye, it was the most reminiscent of the past injury, Meng Jingwen understood this completely, remembered Mu Lingtian, remembered Sima Chang'an, their love, their intentions, don't disappear under the West Mountain like the stars that slipped to the west last night, and disappear without a trace.

Jia Chuan and Meng Jingwen walked together, naturally they could see Meng Jingwen's sadness, but with the previous persuasion was ineffective, Jia Chuan did not come forward to persuade again, just pretended not to see it, after Meng Jingwen figured it out, it was naturally rainy and sunny, and followed him back to Beiyue, and then the two of them integrated into the bustling flow of people, and entered the capital of Chu with the flow of people.

For Jia Chuan, the capital of Chu and Beiyue are very different, the capital of Chu is close to the south, like Nanyue, there is a very strong Jiangnan scenery customs, so generally speaking, these pavilions and pavilions are not like those rough attics and palaces in Beiyue, for Jia Chuan, a person who prefers Beiyue architecture, he is really a little unaccustomed, but in the past few years, he has also seen a lot, and naturally knows that the capital of Chu in front of him can be regarded as a good prosperous capital among the capitals of several countries. He wasn't very picky, and the last time he came alone, he still felt average, and now he found his long-lost sister, and entered the place where this sister grew up, and naturally turned to joy, and he couldn't say how happy he was.

"Jingwen, let my brother send you back to the Anguo Mansion, rest assured, my brother is a little far away from the mansion and there are few people, stop, and no one will guess the relationship between you and me, what do you think?"
