"No wonder..."

The unexpected person suddenly came into view, and casually opened the fog lock smoker. Liu Yan saw the truth in front of him, and he couldn't suppress his emotions a little, and even his breathing became a little heavy.

After pranayama for a long time, Liu Yan sighed.

Said: "No wonder Longtang dares to use the word dragon as the name, but it can still gain a foothold in Chang'an." It's no wonder that a few years ago, my grandfather wanted to check the accounts of Longtang, and a few days ago I went to the Criminal Department to go through the files, and I was intercepted as soon as possible. It is even more strange that the underworld gangs can entrap officials from various ministries in the court, and in just ten years, they can spread clouds and rain in the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty. It turns out that the dragon hall is really the dragon's lair, and the head of this dragon hall is the real dragon in the world. It seems that I really underestimated the abyssal water of Longtang. ”

Li Yuanfang didn't reply immediately, his apricot blossom-like eyebrows glanced at the stool that the black panther had just sat on, and the panther understood, and hurriedly took a bright yellow brocade from the side of the desk, folded it in half and spread it on the stool.

Li Yuanfang sat down and straightened up, and replied in a deep and deep voice: "Born in the emperor's family, it seems to be unspeakably expensive, but it is not. The palace is full of dangers, and everyone is walking on thin ice. Everyone has to plan a way back for themselves, otherwise they don't know how to die. I once had an imperial brother who was brilliant and clever since he was a child, and won the favor of his father. But when I was twelve years old, he went out hunting and accidentally fell off a cliff, and since then he has been paralyzed in bed and has been a cripple ever since. Since then, I've learned that you can't be too smart. Because the wiser a person is, the more likely he is to be hated and bring trouble to himself, especially in a place of right and wrong such as the royal court. ”

The gloomy voice is magnetic, like a guzheng playing with a clear spring. Li Yuanfang's words are quite profound, but the meaning is obvious and easy to understand. He is warning Liu Yan that if great wisdom is the foundation of human life, don't be too self-righteous, otherwise you will get into trouble.

Of course, Liu Yan could hear the deep meaning, and he had also become interested in this unsolved case of the royal family many years ago, and he had deliberately searched for many files. It's just that he was not scared back by the threat at this time, and then Li Yuanfang asked with a smile at the end of his words: "You should be one of the beneficiaries of the accident of the six princes back then, right?"

Li Yuanfang looked at Liu Yan and smiled lightly.

Liu Yan continued: "If I remember correctly, you should have started to build the prototype of the Dragon Hall in that year. Because it was only after the accident of the Six Princes that the current Holy Lord began to deliberately relax the control of the princes, allowing you to incubate your own forces. Your noble prince has received the tacit approval of the Holy Lord, and the ministers of the imperial court will naturally open a shortcut for you, black and white, which has enabled Longtang to become the number one underworld force in Northern Xinjiang in just ten years. ”

There was a faint hint between Li Yuanfang's ink eyebrows, and he seemed to be quite disgusted by Liu Yan's definition of Longtang as an underworld force. Li Yuanfang slowly stretched out his palm, and the black panther standing behind him understood, and immediately handed over the hot towel that had been prepared long ago.

Take the hot towel and rub your palms slowly.

Li Yuanfang said in a dark voice: "You know when you see the subtleties, and you know the autumn when you watch the leaves fall, you are indeed a smart person." But a wise person must first learn how to speak. For this point, Xia Xun has done a good job, but it's a pity that his identity is destined to cause trouble everywhere and not be welcomed. ”

"I'm really sorry then. ”

Liu Yan gradually calmed down from his surprise, and his expression returned to his usual pride. He pursed his lips indifferently and said contemptuously: "I am precisely the smart person who can't speak. My grandfather taught me to be humble for more than a decade, but I never learned it because I thought it was redundant. Moreover, I hate it when others compare me to Xia Xun. ”

“......”

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to have the next conversation with Liu Yan. After all, Liu Yan's attitude was too much in his eyes, and as a prince, Li Yuanfang didn't want to talk to him at all, but the imminent matter made him have to come forward to chat with Liu Yan in person.

Carefully place the hot towel on the countertop.

Li Yuanfang finally chose the most direct way to get to the point.

"You'd better stay away from the Dragon Hall. ”

"Is this a warning?"

"It's advice. ”

"I never listen to advice. ”

"Then take it as a warning. ”

"If you don't listen to my warnings, what can you do with me?"

The two completely different tones of gloom and arrogance swirled back and forth in the empty chamber, just like a dragon and a python entangled in the abyss, both wanting to overwhelm each other in the most direct way.

Since you have chosen to go straight with a single knife, you should use the fiercest wrist.

Li Yuanfang slowly looked sideways, looked at Liu Yan gloomily, and said word by word: "If that's the case, you won't be able to go back today." ”

"Hehe... Hehe... Haha!"

When Liu Yan heard this, he suddenly chuckled.

Laugh a few times, and then turn to laughter!

A burst of laughter that gradually turned into unbridled laughter!

Laughter rained down, and it was extremely arrogant!

It makes the whole wing room crazy...

After laughing for a while, Liu Yan despised Li Yuanfang and said fiercely!

"I thought that the methods of the noble nine sons would be so clever, but they were just ruffians. Coercion and inducement fail, and deterrence is a conclusion. Heh, after all, I still want to take my life..."As he spoke, Liu Yan suddenly straightened his head, put his hand on his neck and made a gesture of cutting off his head, and at the same time gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Li Yuanfang, my Li Yan's head is here for you to take, do you dare to take it?"

"Presumptuous!"

The panther couldn't help but shout.

Li Yuanfang's expression was dazed.

He has one thing in common with Black Panther and Tian Bo, that is, he underestimated Liu Yan's arrogance.

Tian Bo is a minion, and it is natural that Liu Yan does not buy it.

The black panther is the master of the Dragon Hall, and Liu Yan is arrogant if he doesn't buy it.

But Li Yuanfang is the prince of the dynasty, threatening with a knife, and Liu Yan doesn't buy it, it's really crazy.

But without waiting for Li Yuanfang to speak, Liu Yan leaned forward and said again extremely provocatively: "You don't dare, even if you become a prince, even if you are given a thousand more dares, you won't dare." ”

Li Yuanfang's eyes narrowed and looked at Liu Yan: "You are too rampant." ”

"The rampant comes from my self-confidence. ”

"Where does your confidence come from?"

"Wisdom from me, of course. ”

The corners of Liu Yan's mouth once again faintly lifted a sly smile: "At the beginning of last month, in front of Fangcun Yumu Village, Xia Xun once said a very classic sentence to your eldest brother. He said, "My stratagem is enough to ravage your intelligence." Now I offer this sentence to you by offering flowers to the Buddha. My IQ is enough to shake your power. Without a pause, Liu Yan put away his posture and said more arrogantly: "Besides, your magnates may not be really lawless. Although some officials of the Ministry of Gold have to accept your favors, I am confident that Uncle Shizai will be confused in small matters, and there will be no ambiguity in major matters. By the time I stepped on this boat, they must have sent the urgent news back to the household. When my grandfather saw the letter, he would be furious, and he would inevitably use the power of the chief to forcibly mobilize the troops and horses of the household, and hurried to the west of the city. At this time, if I were you, I would no longer think about what kind of deterrent means to achieve greater benefits for the next negotiations, but go straight to the point to calm the matter and appease me. Because, you and I only have less than half an hour left to chat. And the rise and fall of you and the Dragon Hall need to be decided within this half hour. ”

“......”

Liu Yan's words seem to be verbose, but they are actually extremely incisive.

The topic, the exhibition situation, and the town bureau are all in one go, concise and to the point, without dragging the mud and water.

Like a sharp butcher's knife, it slashed cleanly in front of Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang still had the means to try the truth one by one, but when Liu Yan said this, he suddenly became embarrassed. First of all, Liu Yan's rampantness, he doesn't eat oil and salt, and he is unscrupulous, but he still has a good head that can grasp many key points. He seemed to know very well what Li Yuanfang was afraid of. The second is Li Yuanfang himself, although Longtang has the acquiescence of the saint, it is still an underworld gang after all. And Liu Yan is being appreciated by the saint, if he has an accident on the territory of the Dragon Hall, even if Li Yuanfang can escape afterwards, the Dragon Hall will have to suffer under the wrath of the saint.

This is the key point, the key to Liu Yan's banquet today...

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuanfang finally had to ask in a soft voice, "What do you want?"

Liu Yan chuckled and shook his head: "It's not what I want, but what you can give me." ”

Li Yuanfang said: "A million gold can't make you tempted, what about two million, three million or even ten million?"

Liu Yanqing still shook his head: "There are thousands of mansions, and you can't sleep more than six feet." The family has a lot of money, and it can't eat three meals. Even if there is a mountain of gold that stretches for hundreds of miles, how much can I get, and if I can't get it, I can only look at it from afar. Even if I can get it, why do I need so much money?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Money can make ghosts grind." ”

Liu Yan said: "My wisdom can make the king of Hades change the sentence." ”

"Glory and wealth. ”

"I've enjoyed it. ”

"Then you can get straight to the point. ”

"I want a name. ”

“......”

Li Yuanfang shut up and didn't say anything, and the black panther behind him had a solemn face, as if he was thinking about things.

The waves crash against the boat, the boat sways slightly, and the rich fish pond shakes a slight wave. Liu Yan wants a name, and his name is not only fame, but also fame, and fame needs merit to build out of the court.

And now, Liu Yan is ordered by the emperor to implement the three orders, which is the way to fame.

The implementation of the three orders is aimed at the stock market, more precisely, at the foundation of the rich Jia Huang family.

Liu Yan was ordered by the emperor, like a butcher with a butcher's knife, every time he cut a piece of meat from the Huang family and offered it to the imperial court, he could add a merit to himself. The accumulation of merits makes a name, and this is the fame that Liu Yan wants.

Li Yuanfang said: "You are not interested in the Ministry of Finance. ”

"Of course not. ”

Liu Yan picked up the wine glass alone and played with it in his hand, and said, "I might as well tell you the truth, I am extremely greedy, and I have an unimaginable appetite." My grandfather has been sitting in this position for more than 30 years, and he is not attractive to me at all. Even if it is like the head of the household department, the important positions of the court such as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites have never been in my eyes. If I become an official in the court, I must be the head of a hundred officials!"

"Dah. ”

At the end of the words, Liu Yan slammed the wine glass to the point that it landed on the rosewood box.

The entire white jade round table was shocked, and Li Yuanfang and the black panther also stared at their round faces in shock...

Liu Yan is really self-aware, and he also knows that he has a big appetite, which is unimaginably big. Looking through the annals of history and looking at the past dynasties, who can rank first among the hundred officials, which one is not a person who has made great achievements? Even though the Taifu of the Three Dynasties, who is the oldest in the history of the Tang Dynasty, is also the 14th year of Rongma, he has been strategizing on Nanping Mountain for five years, opening up half of the country for the Tang Dynasty, and he is only in the position of Taifu in the past 40 years...

But what is Liu Yan? In terms of his age, he is only fourteen, and in terms of merit, he is only a fledgling, even if he has a little talent, how can he compare with his predecessors? However, he wants to reach the top of the powerful and above ten thousand people under one person, and this is simply the act of a madman.

Li Yuanfang looked at Liu Yan strangely: "Are you joking?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

The panther couldn't help but interject: "I look like it, and it's a joke told in a dream..."

"Wow!"

"Pss

Before the panther could finish speaking, Liu Yan suddenly picked up a plate of stuffy soft-shelled turtle in front of him, and smashed it at the panther with his hand!

Fortunately, the panther is not shallow in cultivation and has quick eyes, and he dodged the flying dish with a slight sideways.

The plate smashed against the solid wood wall, shattered and bloomed, and the greasy vegetable juice flew all over the floor.

Liu Yan squinted his eyes and scolded coldly: "How can there be a place for you to speak, and those who are interested will obediently close your dog's mouth." ”

"You..."

"Shut up. ”

Liu Yan was rampant, and the black panther couldn't help but want to refute and scold, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yuanfang raised his hand and stopped his voice.

The black panther was unspeakable, Li Yuanfang then looked at Liu Yan and said, "I can give you the name you want." Hubu Shangshu, three divisions and three provinces, Sima Mansion, and Babel Tower, I will order someone to take care of it for you. As long as you keep to yourself, with your talent and my care, you will be able to rank among the three divisions in 20 years at most. ”

Liu Yan retracted his gaze and shook his head: "I'm in a hurry, I can't wait that long." ”

Li Yuanfang thought for a while, and then said: "I can do a lot of things for you." When this matter subsides, I can still use the resources of business and rivers and lakes to deliver a steady stream of political achievements for you, plus I dredge in front of my father, presumably more than ten years will be enough. ”

Liu Yan still shook his head: "Don't say more than ten years, even a few years, I don't want to wait." ”

When Li Yuanfang heard this, his face suddenly sank like a green pool: "Liu Yan, being a man requires self-knowledge. ”

"I've always been self-aware. ”

"Your official position in the court is your pickled sauerkraut, can you cook which one you want?"

Li Yuanfang had the urge to hit someone, but he endured it. Clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Don't say that important ministers such as the three divisions and three provinces, Shangshu Yushi, are the district members of the Ministry of Jin, and they all have to go through many audits before they can be hired." And those who worship the court need fame, talent and merit, how can you be able to ascend to the sky in one step?"

This time, Liu Yan finally didn't shake his head again, he smiled deeply, "Of course I have." ”

Liu Yan stretched out his hand and knocked on the rosewood box: "The Huang family in Kyoto, rich in the world, has stood in Chang'an for hundreds of years, and has corroded the people's fat and ointment for hundreds of years, but for hundreds of years, no one can shake its body and break its bones. If I can collapse the Huang family and swallow its foundation for the Tang Dynasty, such feats will be enough to overwhelm the civil and military forces of the current Manchu Dynasty, so why is it difficult to ascend to the sky in one step?"

“......”
