Yiqin Palace
On the building ship
Prince Yi standing on the top of the boat put down his thousand mile eyes and faced the palace. There was some bad news these two days, and his mood was a little gloomy. Many ministers in the imperial court have begged him for the goods going down from heaven. These people are people who support him. In order to win over these people, it was also one of the means to let them join in and purchase goods all over the world. Nowadays, there will be problems in the world of freight communication. If he stands idly by, he will lose a lot of help.
But he himself is the cleanest in the world of goods, because he knows that the firm is not reliable. It is wishful thinking to expect a firm to hide its own secrets, and it is undoubtedly an idiot to let a firm master the secrets. If the things he secretly plans are involved in those trivial business matters, the gain is not worth the loss.
So Prince Yi actually admired Wu Yidao for his courage to take so many adults' silver as shares. You know, these courtiers are a double-edged sword. With them, the goods go down all over the world. Naturally, they have more confidence in business. They are not afraid of being made difficult everywhere. And once something happens, these adults will not be soft hearted.
Wu Yidao, such a smart man, must have relied on the money of these adults at the beginning. This is also why Prince Yi hasn't appeared in person. He wanted to see what the cards of Wu Yidao are.
But yesterday those courtiers came to beg, which made him very uncomfortable.
Qin Liuqi respectfully stood beside Prince Yi and said the results of the adults' discussion. After he finished, Prince Yi said in a voice, "these idiots are rare to be smart and don't act rashly. If Wu worked hard to catch the dead and give the accounts to the Emperor... Now the imperial court has already fried the pot. The reason why Wu didn't do this is waiting for these idiots to understand the reason."
"Wu Yidao doesn't want to lose his goods, and those idiots don't want to lose their positions. This is a very subtle point. There is no doubt that Wu Yidao holds this point."
Qin Liuqi bowed his head and said, "what the LORD said is right. In order to keep their industry, Wu and others can only harden their scalp and threaten those adults to stand on his side. If half of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty oppose the emperor to take the goods down to the Imperial Palace, the emperor will not be hard."
Prince Yi sneered and said, "what Wu Yidao didn't understand most is that the emperor is a person who will be controlled by others and decide by himself? It's silly to want to fight with the emperor? It's so stupid... Gu knows the fourth brother too well. It seems that he is a lenient Emperor, but in fact he is as cold as a stone. No one can stop what he wants to do."
"Does the Lord mean to give up those courtiers?"
Qin Liuqi asked carefully.
"Not yet..."
Prince Yi sighed: "Now, I still need those fools. If I don't save them, I won't be able to do the next thing. The army's expedition is just the beginning, and the next step is more and more difficult. Although those fools are of no great use, they can make the emperor crazy... You can see Wu Yidao again and tell him that if he is willing to hand over the things, I will keep him safe Leave Chang'an city. "
"My subordinates understand."
Qin Liuqi thought for a moment and said, "but Wu Yidao's attitude seems very firm."
"No one wants to change..."
Prince Yi smiled and said, "even the orphan was moved by such a large industry. However, the emperor knew that the war against the northwest could not be solved in a moment and a half. If it lasted for a long time, the national treasury of the Sui Dynasty could not support it. If he collected all the goods, he would have more confidence in fighting the northwest war."
"If Wu Yidao really refuses to obey, then... Let those idiots solve it by themselves. Now Gu can't step into this pool of water. Li Yuanshan hasn't done a good job in the Northwest for a while, so Gu has to be the king like wandering around the mountains and rivers. Although Li Yuanshan's side is not the only way, it's a drastic way... Gu has planned for so many years, good It's not easy. When the opportunity comes, how can you give up all your previous efforts because of some small things? "
He turned and stepped down from the top of the boat.
When I turned around, my sight stayed in the direction of the palace in the distance for a while, as if I didn't give up.
"Prepare chariots and horses, and go into the palace in a moment."
Prince Yi said as he walked down: "It's time for Gu to meet the fourth elder brother and the Empress Dowager. The courtiers are all talking to Gu. I heard that the fourth elder brother is angry in Dongnuan Pavilion... It's time for Gu to show his loyalty and shed tears. Tell him that Gu really didn't want to go to the Northwest. It's all the courtiers' speculation in private. The more Gu says he doesn't want to go, the more he will think I really want to go. Gu goes to see him, he will be happy I think I'm alone and flustered. I'm innocent... Hehe, playing with my fourth brother is the greatest fun in life. "
Qin Liuqi didn't dare to interrupt and followed Prince Yi carefully.
"Wang ye went to Qingfeng Temple yesterday. How was the harvest?"
He asked after a while.
Prince Yi smiled: "what can you gain if so many people follow. But since it's a fixed thing, there won't be any problem. Immortal Xiao is actually smarter than anyone. He knows what he means in his lonely words."
Qin Liuqi said, "as long as there's no problem at Qingfeng temple, there's really no problem."
Speaking of this, Prince Yi seemed to be in a better mood: "how about Fang Xie?"
Qin Liuqi bowed back and replied, "the news sent by Zhuang die says that Fang Xie doesn't seem to have any doubt about her. However, Shen qingfan is hostile to her and is always lukewarm. Since yesterday, Fang Xie told Zhuang die that she will be responsible for shopping. In this way, she can better bring information out."
Prince Yi said in a loud voice: "Gu has been wondering whether Fang Xie was deliberately sent by the emperor. If so, the emperor's means are too low... Does he think that Gu really will confide in a boy with unknown origin?"
"Just stare... And let Zhuang die find a chance to search Fang Xie and see if Wu Yidao gave something to Fang Xie."
"I'll do it now."
Qin Liuqi answered, hesitated and said, "Fang hate water has been around Fang Xie these days. This man is disobedient. When he was off class a few days ago, he also followed Mo everything, a professor in the martial arts academy."
Prince Yi frowned and snorted coldly, "warn him, if you do this again... You don't need the people in the bodyguard's office to do it. You can beat him into the 18th floor of hell first!"
……
……
San Jin Hou Mansion
Wu Yidao squinted at Fang Xie, couldn't help shaking his head and said, "let you stay in the martial arts academy and open the shop honestly. Don't run to me. You don't listen... Do you think you're great now and can intervene in anything?"
Fang Xie stood by the bookshelf and casually took a treasure to play with: "you are the owner and you paid the silver... The matter has almost been settled. I have to report it to you. The date is set for February 12. At that time, the girls of red tea moves will wear those clothes out for the people of the whole city to see... How's it? Is it a good day?"
Wu said, "that's your business... If there's nothing else, you can go."
Fang Xie glanced: "anyway, I've come in. What's the difference between going out early and going out late."
"It's not your character."
Wu Yi frowned slightly: "aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid..."
Fang Xie said, "there are only two kinds of people in the world who are not afraid of death... One is called hero and the other is called silly force. I certainly don't belong to the former, and of course I don't belong to the latter. So it's certain that I'm afraid of death, but what does it have to do with entering your Sanjin Hou house? I just come to visit. Even if countless assassins break in here... I think it should be useful to kneel down and beg for mercy."
Wu Yidao couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid you can't change your shameless temper."
Fang Xie said with a smile, "I have no advantages and no spirit. It's not practical to expect me to live and die with you. I think about it. The only thing I can do is to come and see if you're dead from time to time. If you're dead, I'll buy a willow thin coffin and bury you."
"Stingy!"
Wu Yi smiled: "I have to buy a golden nanmu coffin."
Fang Xie said, "why do you waste money so much? When people die, Pepsi is empty. What do you care about loading corpses? But if you really have anything to give up, please tell me. For example, I can keep all the antique treasures in this room for you."
Wu Yidao said, "don't worry. If I really have to die, I will burn the yard before I die."
Fang Xie sighed: "That's cruel... I'm here to tell you that I've sent all the people who can be sent to Jiangnan, but I'm not sure they can protect Yinyu. Do you really have no hidden strength after all these years? You have to entrust me, an unreliable person, to do such a serious thing? You're too careless to be a father, in case I'm stupid You mean, isn't your daughter dangerous? "
"There must be."
Wu Yidao nodded and said, "everyone has some secrets, right?"
Fang Xie put down the treasure in his hand, looked at Wu Yi and asked curiously, "tell me?"
Wu Yidao said seriously, "ten thousand liang of silver is a word. It's genuine. Children and old people are not deceived. If you can't use the silver note I gave you, it won't be your money."
Fang Jiebai glanced at him: "since you have plans, why do you suggest that I send someone to Jiangnan?"
Wu Yidao said with a smile, "try to see if you are worth making friends."
Fang Xie bah: "boring?"
Wu Yi shook his head and said, "come on, since I came here today, I'm sure it's not just about these things. If you don't have any unsolvable puzzles, you won't come to me. Don't think I'll believe what you said before. You're not so righteous."
Fang Xie praised: "you really know me well... I want to ask... Will there be anything big to happen when the Taoist of Wudang Mountain suddenly arrives at the imperial capital?"
Wu Yidao's face changed: "how do you know?"
Fang Xie stalled: "coincidence."
After being silent for a while, Wu Yidao said solemnly and seriously, "don't care, don't touch... Fang Xie, I must tell you that if you get involved in my affairs, you will die. If you get involved in the people of Wudang Mountain coming to the imperial capital, you will die for ten years!"
Fang Xie frowned: "what do you know?"
Wu Yi waved his hand: "you go, just remember what I said. And... From today on, if you dare to step into the door of Sanjin Hou's house again, I will castrate you. Be a student of your martial arts academy and be your shop owner. It will be your dance stage ten years later. If you climb up so hard so early, you will die sooner or later."
After a moment of silence, Fang Xie asked the same seriously, "do you think I will die if I fall from the height I am climbing now?"
Wu Yidao nodded: "yes"
Fang Xie smiled and said freely, "what am I afraid of? Now falling is falling to death, and climbing higher is falling to death. The only difference is that the body is worse... But it's dead. Why do you care about the body? If it's doomed to fall, fall a roar. What if it doesn't fall?"
As he walked out, he laughed and said, "didn't I make a lot of money?"
Wu Yidao was stunned and looked at Fang Xie's back and lost his mind for a while. When the young man's back disappeared, he suddenly smiled: "I really thought I would believe that you are the kind of person who is indomitable? You must have figured out something... Interesting."
