The waves in the Mingtang Palace are rising, and the Queen Mother is looking for her pillar stone to rely on.

However, she was not destined to be found. The Queen Mother couldn't remember many details in the court, she was very sensitive to small personnel changes, but she always forgot the rules of the court.

Military attachés, even if they are above the third rank, cannot become a permanent staff member who participates in the court meeting every day like a civil official, but participates in the court meeting every three days, so the current official position is the general of Zuotunwei, Zhou Guogong Wen Minxing, will not be in the Mingtang Palace.

Outside the Mingtang Palace, in the Qingliang Palace, Li Xu and a middle-aged man with a beard chatted happily, each holding a handful of pumpkin seeds, the fried pumpkin seeds actually have no taste, peel off the oil-rich fruit and throw it into the mouth, and then slowly taste the new tea of Wuyi Mountain this year, enjoying a different fragrance and comfort.

The newly sealed beauty Wen Nuer stood aside with a silver kettle, her face was so embarrassed that she looked at Li Xu for a while, and then looked at the handsome middle-aged man, and her overjoyed mood made her want to jump down a few times to relieve the tension and happiness in her heart.

"At that time, the old minister was still young, but Han Xiang was nearly middle-aged, and the two of us surrounded a field in the south of the city, called the City That Never Sleeps. Han Xiang came out with 40,000 guan, he was a good ruler, I scraped together 20,000 guan, and told my father to know that he scolded me, saying that I was a loser and messed around. The bearded middle-aged man could be called handsome just by his appearance, but his bearing was indescribably gentle and elegant, he peeled a pumpkin seed into his mouth, printed a sip of tea and continued.

Han Xiang expected that there were many rich and noble people in Bai Yujing, the folk customs and the people liked to play games, and polo was fashionable, so everyone organized a polo team to take turns to compete, attracting wealthy businessmen and people to bet on winning or losing, and they would definitely make a lot of money. Your Majesty, guess how much we earned in the end?"

Li Xu has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has no experience of the market life in Bai Yujing, but he knows that whether it is the Premier League or the American professional basketball, it is the most profitable business in the world. However, it is necessary to build venues and teams, and to cultivate the audience's habit of watching the game, and the profit cycle of this project is estimated to be very long.

"I guess Han Xiang didn't make much money with you at the time. ”

After hearing this, the handsome middle-aged man smiled and said: "Yes, the selection of horse breeds, the recruitment of good hands, and the construction of the site, spent a lot of money, and the final income is calculated, excluding the cost, but it does not make much, and even the profit of the game is not as much as that of those bookmakers in the periphery." ”

"At that time, I was so angry that I went to Han Xiang and asked him if he wanted to hack my money by making this gold hole, and I threw 20,000 yuan into it in the end just to maintain no profit or loss, and I really couldn't explain it. As a result, Han Xiang was not annoyed, and transferred a weaving yard under his name to me, asking me to see it again next year. ”

It is more difficult for the entertainment industry and the catering industry to make money at the beginning, and the customer group needs to be cultivated and slowly develop consumption habits. Han Gang was able to tolerate his father-in-law's nonsense and cut a piece of meat for his partners to eat, with this kind of bearing and open-mindedness, it is no wonder that he can stand tall in the court.

"Han Xiang treated me like this, I naturally want to repay with righteousness, I didn't ask for Han Xiang's weaving field, and I threw five thousand yuan into it, so many years have passed, and it is already a cornucopia like a copper mountain weaving field. ”

The currency of the Yu Dynasty was copper coins and silk silk, and the feeling of owning a copper mountain weaving yard was probably similar to the feeling of controlling a money printing machine and printing money.

"If you have a chance, I want to go to the city where Han Xiang and Zhou Guogong never sleep. Li Xu exclaimed, he was indeed curious about what would be different in the daily entertainment of ordinary people in this world with martial arts.

Li Xu was very suspicious that if someone's face was dark enough, he would meet an old lady like Xuanyuan with broken fingers when he went to gamble.

"I really want to see what Han Xiang and Zhou Guogong looked like when they were young, and look at the world at that time. Li Xu sighed, the fortunes of the country are declining, compared to the world when Wen Minxing was young, the current Yu Dynasty is already declining to the point of dying.

Li Xu peeled another pumpkin seed, and he felt that it seemed that it was time for a showdown.

He raised his hand and waved, Wen Nu'er nodded, and retreated with the attendants around him, leaving only Li Xu and Wen Minxing there to drink tea and eat pumpkin seeds.

Wen Minxing was still drinking tea and eating melon seeds there, and he didn't take the emperor's retreat to heart.

"Lu Zhen has retired, Zhongshu Province can't let Han Xiang be alone, Han Xiang is old after all. Li Xu looked at Wen Minxing, who was blowing the hot tea in the teacup in one breath.

"Hedong Jiedu makes Pei Du a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he has been out for a while. Li Xu said: "I have asked Han Xiang, and he agreed to invoke Pei Du to return to the court as the prime minister, and then ask you to serve as a servant." ”

Li Xu saw that Wen Minxing's eyes lit up, and then he regained his calm in an instant.

Wen Minxing put down the teacup and said in a warm tone unique to elders: "Everything is subject to Your Majesty's arrangement, but Weichen is now a military position, and it doesn't seem appropriate to change it to a left position." What's more, the Queen Mother's decree before had been politely rejected by Weichen. ”

The Yu Dynasty respects the left, so the civil title is the left position, and the military title is the right position, Wen Minxing is now the general of the Zuo Tun Guard, and it is not without precedent for him to transfer from a general to a civilian official or even a prime minister, but it is extremely rare.

"It was my decree, not the Queen Mother's decree. Li Xu said.

"Then Weichen will wait for His Majesty to pro-government. Wen Minxing replied with a smile.

It seems that it is not enough to buy him with a waiter. Li Xu took a sip of tea. The top priority now is to be pro-government, and the first step of pro-government is to defeat the most direct opponent, Empress Dowager Wen.

To defeat the Queen Mother, if Li Xu uses Cheng Qili's method to physically eliminate her, the final result will inevitably outweigh the losses. Needless to say, once the feudal towns seize this opportunity to play what the Qing monarch side is, the situation will become uncontrollable.

The Queen Mother is so crazy that she wants to abolish the Son of Heaven, Li Xu is not only not crazy but also very sensible, and the crazy woman's trick makes the crazy woman play, but he can't afford it.

"After I was served, the first thing I did was to stand up. After being rejected by Wen Minxing for the first time, Li Xu took out the second bait he had carefully prepared. "I like Anu very much, she is a smart and gentle girl, she will be my queen. ”

Wen Minxing hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Nu'er's mother is a Kangguo orchid, and she can't rule the six palaces of the Heavenly Empire. ”

"Isn't a distant niece as good as his own daughter?" Li Xu stared at Wen Minxing, he knew that this treacherous Wen Party core was tempted, and the Queen Mother's biggest omission was to personally deliver the dagger to his own hands. How can it be safer for a niece to be the queen mother? After losing Wen Minxing and other foreign courts, the queen mother is just a widowed woman in the palace.

"The Queen Mother is going to abolish me. Li Xu took a sip of tea lightly: "I will never give up my position, I have already agreed with Lieutenant Cheng, if Zhou Guogong does not agree to me, he will order the Tianwei army to enter the city." ”

Li Xu took out a handwritten book from his cuff and handed it to Wen Minxing, motioning him to read it carefully.

Wen Minxing didn't mean it when he took it, but when he opened it, he felt that this handwritten book was heavy, and it seemed to be filled with a bloody atmosphere.

"The Wen clan defiled the court, and was deposed by the decree of the Emperor of God, and gave him a concubine. Wen Minxing formed a party and rebelled, intending to rebel. Wen Yuanheng and Wen Minxing conspired together, clan. Cui Qi's party attached Wen Minxing, abandoned the city, his children were assigned to Fengzhou, and his wife and daughter entered the teaching department. Wang Gongdang attached Wen Minxing, hanged and imprisoned, his children were sent to the state, and his wife and daughter were enrolled in the teaching workshop ......"

The handbook is full of sentences against members of the party, as well as the brutal punishments that followed.

"The Queen Mother wants to do something to abolish the establishment," Li Xu put down the teacup: "Since the Queen Mother doesn't care about this world, I don't care about this world." He will go to any treacherous and stealing the country, what eunuchs are usurping power, and what feudal towns are rebelling. I want your Wen family to be dusted. ”

Wen Minxing was not shocked or hurried, and put the handbook back on the table.

He raised his head and looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him, as if he had seen the God Emperor of the year again.

"Your Majesty shouldn't show it to Weichen. Wen Minxing's face showed a sadness, fortunately Li Xu knew very well what kind of person this Zhou Guogong was, otherwise he would have thought that he was about to force to death a sincere and loyal minister who forgot his life for the country.

"I asked me to serve the government, the slave is the queen mother, and you are the servant. Or go back and arrange assassins to turn the sleepless city into ruins and the Mingtang Palace into scorched earth. As long as I live, I will kill everyone with the surname Wen. ”

Li Xu looked at Wen Minxing, and he said this, if Wen Minxing still doesn't express his position, then the armor soldiers in the palace will go out together and kill the core of the Wen Party directly in the Qingliang Palace.

"Alas, what a shame for Your Majesty. Wen Minxing sighed: "I don't know if there is still a piece of tile in the palace for the old minister to live in, the old minister will rest in the palace for one night, and tomorrow he will write to the queen mother to ask the emperor to serve the government." ”

Li Xu smiled, he knew that the big thing was already half the battle.
