All enemies bow down to me

"Mingqing's calligraphy is becoming more and more powerful."

The warm breath brushed against the ears, and the deep and magnetic voice made the already extraordinarily gentle tone even more intoxicating.Tong You turned around and met Mu Yunxi's eyes.

"His Royal Highness." Tong You took a step back cautiously, bowed to salute, and avoided the too close distance just right.

Mu Yunxi had a panoramic view of his little movements, but he just nodded and didn't speak.

Tong You felt a little flustered for no reason, so he simply picked up the account book on the side and handed it to Mu Yunxi, talking to him about business.

"Your Highness, this is the latest profit of Fu Yun Building."

After the chess game that day, he made a deal with Mu Yunxi.

The concept of the so-called imperial merchants in the past was just to control a few big merchants for the royal family.But Tong You's idea is that blocking is worse than sparse, instead of using strong means to control, it is better to get together with profit, so that they will be willing to attach to the imperial power.And Fuyun Building is the best link.

Within three years, merchants all over the world will eat imperial food.

Such an idea is extremely bold, and it is unheard of in Da'an.

However, Mu Yunxi agreed without hesitation.And the point is, Mu Yunxi doesn't regard Tong You as a vassal like Qingke, but accepts the alliance he said as a matter of course.

Mu Yunxi sheltered Tong You, and Tong You raised money for Mu Yunxi.

Originally, Tong You thought that in such a situation, Mu Yunxi would definitely be on guard against him.But he didn't want to, this Mu Yunxi was very reassuring to him, not only gave him the token directly, but also let him use all his wealth, even the secret guards were also intentionally handed over to him for training.

Therefore, what the carrier pigeons of Fuyunlou bring back is not only the price of goods, but also the information of the families of officials from all over the place.However, all the information that could subvert the entire Da'an court at the moment is in the hands of Tong You.

The more you indulge in trust, the more unpredictable it will be.Therefore, Tong You was extra cautious in front of Mu Yunxi, for fear of making a wrong move.

The two chatted for a while, and Mu Yunxi got up and left.There are a lot of things going on in the Eastern Palace recently, and he is always a little busy.

Tong You quickly sent him off, and didn't return to Fuyun Building until he got into the carriage and the carriage went far away.

In the carriage, the servant couldn't help asking Mu Yunxi: "Your Highness, is this appropriate?"

Mu Yunxi saw that he seemed to be worried, and understood that it was because he had revealed all the cards to Tong You, so he smiled and asked: "Isn't it like this for ordinary people? Mingqing is fine, and you don't have to Concerned about him, how to serve me, how to serve him."

"Yes!" The valet replied in a low voice, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

The information Mu Yunxi revealed in these few words was too complicated, which made him unable to discern the real deep meaning inside for a while.

At the same time, he suddenly recalled the jade pendant Mu Yunxi gave Tong You that day.It doesn't seem to be an ordinary style, but... the princess of the East Palace.

--------------------

A few years passed by.

The Fuyun Building gathers merchants from all over the world in one family, perfectly fulfilling Tong You's original promise.And the relationship between him and Mu Yunxi is also quite close. They are both friends and gentleman, and they often drink tea and play chess together in their spare time.

It's just that Tong You always finds it a little strange that Mu Yunxi seems to be too close to him, and his daily movements often reveal a subtle pampering.Could it be because he doesn't have a younger brother?

Playing with the milk fox paperweight that Mu Yunxi had just ordered, Tong You felt something was wrong for no reason.

However, Tong You's side is going smoothly, but Ling's is going from bad to worse.

After being expelled from the Imperial College, Ling Jie's studies became difficult.Although I also went to other academies and passed the college examination successfully, the actual ranking was not very satisfactory.Subsequent township examinations tested the water twice, and they all failed in the sand.I left an evaluation of "It's too old, it may not be good".

After adding Tong You to Zhang Zian's sect, Ling Jie's teacher, Fan Jiqing, was also very alienated from him, and even had to weigh the New Year's etiquette before accepting him.Such an attitude made Ling Jie's situation even more embarrassing.

At the same time, Ling's father was often reprimanded in court.The rest of the Ling family who became officials had a very bumpy career, and they could barely protect themselves, let alone help each other as they did in the heyday.

And the most important thing among them is money.

After the opening of Fuyun Building, the entire Daan merchant circle was reshuffled, and Shangjing was the first to bear the brunt.Moreover, as one of the former major merchants, the Ling family was hit hardest.

The Ling family's business is mainly cotton, linen and silk, which could have been monopolized originally, but after the army and the royal family stepped in, it began to decline step by step, unable to do what they wanted.

Because the royal family gave specific purchase prices and sales prices, it was equivalent to controlling prices within a certain range.In addition, there are now Fuyun Buildings everywhere, and they can even charge a fee to help consignment, which further cuts off the Ling family's future.

-----------------------

Fuyun Building

When Mu Yunxi entered, Tong You was resting on the soft couch.

As if he was still reading the letter before falling asleep, he was holding a piece of paper between his fingers hanging under the soft couch.The sunlight hit him through the window sill, making the atmosphere in the room even more warm and peaceful.

Mu Yunxi approached quietly, and carefully helped Tong You cover the blanket that had slipped to the ground.Then he couldn't help but look at him carefully.

Over the past few years, Tong You has become more and more irresistible.The originally exquisite eyebrows opened, becoming more and more beautiful and attractive.And the indifferent scholarly air on his body is even more gentle and elegant, clear and remote.

Mu Yunxi lowered his head and picked up the letter between Tong You's fingers and put it on the small table, but happened to see several other letters.Among them, there are reports from officials from various places, as well as news related to the Ling family.For Tong You, who is usually rigorous, such important things will definitely not be piled up randomly, so it is intended to test.

Still not trusting enough.Mu Yunxi's eyes flashed a little dark, but then Tong You's words interrupted his thoughts.

"It turns out that Your Highness still has such preferences." At some time, Tong You opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the letter in Mu Yunxi's hand, which was particularly meaningful.

And Mu Yunxi didn't mean to avoid embarrassment. Instead, he generously took out the relevant information of the Ling family and handed it to Tong You: "The cabinet has already taken shape, and the new law is coming. If you have ideas, you can get rid of the Ling family."

It actually directly pierced Tong You's plan.

But even so, Tong You still did not respond immediately, instead he asked slowly: "If His Highness refuses, Ming Qing will naturally obey, but the Ling family has not made any serious mistakes in these years, so you are not afraid of sudden trouble, and it is difficult to hide the truth from all the people in the world." The mouth of a person?"

What seems like a joke is a blatant temptation.

Tong You still maintained the posture of half leaning on the couch, looking up at Mu Yunxi.His expression was calm and calm, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, but it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

Tong You was provoking, or in other words, he was spying on Mu Yunxi's bottom line towards him.A few years is enough for him to plan and make his wings full.But as the power in his hands grew, the relationship between him and Mu Yunxi became more and more dangerous, like walking on thin ice.Even in recent days, other diners have suggested to Mu Yunxi, asking him to beware of Tong You getting bigger.

The way to be a king is first of moderation, and second of balance.No emperor can tolerate a situation where one person is dominant by his side, but Mu Yunxi has indulged him from the very beginning.

Is it absolute trust, or... there is a deeper plan.Tong You was unstable and always felt uneasy.He was originally a politician who climbed from the bottom, so he knew better than anyone what it means that there is no absolute alliance.In particular, this is the ancient time when imperial power was supreme.

So now that everything is on the right track and he is only short of closing the net, he must figure out what Mu Yunxi is thinking.

And whether to attack the Ling family immediately is just an introduction.Even without Mu Yunxi's permission, he can still achieve his goal.

But Tong You must ensure that he has no worries, and at the same time, he must also determine whether he wants to continue to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Right now, he has enough chips in his hand, even if the talks collapse, he can still protect himself, which is the most suitable time.

A condensed atmosphere permeated the air, and Tong You's eyes became colder and colder.

However, to his surprise, Mu Yunxi didn't seem to care at all, just sighed lightly and said: "Mingqing, your thoughts are too heavy." Then he reached out and stroked his forehead hair.

With warm fingertips, gently slid across the skin of the forehead.And the taste of intimacy gradually emerges from such natural little movements.

Again, such an ambiguous attitude.Tong You frowned, and turned his head away uncomfortably, but the condensation and guard on his face disappeared like melting ice and snow.

Tong You is an orphan, and no one has ever been so close to him.So the warmth Mu Yunxi gave him was what he longed for the most and also the only thing he feared.

The atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed again, and Mu Yunxi took advantage of the opportunity to sit down by the couch.

Picking up the jade pendant that he had given to Tong You before, he solemnly placed it in Tong You's hands. "Mingqing, do you still remember the agreement of the Imperial College?"

"The whole world is now in your hands, and the so-called Youyou's words are all from your family's words. It's just the insignificant little Ling family. What do you say that you are afraid of? What are you afraid of?"

Is this implying that she has already taken control of the world with him?

"Your Highness..." Tong You started to say something in surprise, but was interrupted by Mu Yunxi.

"If you get Mingqing, you can win the world. I never worry about you having two minds, so you don't have to be afraid of the end of a dead dog. You are not a short-sighted person, and naturally you will not cut off your arms. How can you allow other people to snore, they are nothing more than incompetent trash." Lowering his head to Tong You's ear, Mu Yunxi's low and deep voice was more gentle and magnetic than usual: "The doorman has been dealt with alone. Mingqing, I thought you understood that the only thing I want is you."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yunxi got up and left, but Tong You froze in place, frowning for a long time without saying a word.

Mu Yunxi walked to the door, looked back at his puzzled look, and couldn't help but sighed again.

It was still too small after all.

Mu Yunxi shook his head and pushed the door open.However, just as he was about to go out, Tong You called him to stop.

"Your Highness!"

Mu Yunxi turned around.

"Your Majesty's kindness, Ling Mingqing will always keep it in his heart, and will never let it down." Tong You's expression was extremely serious, and the previous guard was completely dissipated.

Respect me one foot, I will return one foot.This is the bottom line of Tong You's life. Since Mu Yunxi is a ruler who is tolerant of others, what's the point of giving him back the prosperity and prosperity?

Tong You has never owed favors.

"Okay." Seeing this situation, Mu Yunxi smiled, and then really left.However, after he turned around, there was a hint of helplessness in his deep eyes.

After all, it is useless for a little fox cub to grow into a little fox.Not only did he not get enlightened, but his personality was still so dull and dull.

However, as a natural king, what Mu Yunxi lacks most is patience.

He is not afraid of waiting, what he is afraid of is that even if he is hired by the world, he will not get Tong You's sincerity.

------------------------

Since the showdown in Fuyunlou, Tong You really had a heart-to-heart relationship with Mu Yunxi, and the relationship between him and Mu Yunxi has also become closer and more tacit.But the Ling family on the other side is in trouble.

After the winter, the old matriarch of the Ling family has been in poor health.Ever since Tong You was so angry that he vomited blood in the Wanfo Temple case, Mrs. Ling's cough has always been bad.In the past, he must have been called an imperial physician, but now that the family situation is not good, it is already the limit to be able to maintain a glamorous appearance.

The New Year's Eve is coming soon, Ling Jie's mother and the old matriarch are calculating the gifts to be given next year.However, the expenditure was too much, and it was still difficult to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. In the end, they had to open the warehouse and use it as a dowry.

Ling Jie listened beside him, feeling more and more uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

Right now, the Ling family is a living target for the royal family to make an example of.Even if you force people to death, you can't say anything wrong.

School

Ling Jie was sitting alone in the corner practicing calligraphy, but suddenly he heard two people whispering outside the window.

"Have you heard? The newly opened Qingshui Temple is particularly effective. Anyone who worships sincerely will finally get his wish."

"Really? But my family says it's all a lie."

"Who knows, I haven't been there after all." The two talked and walked, and their voices gradually became farther away.However, Ling Jie listened to his ears, but some thoughts arose in his heart.

Qingshui Temple

Different from the majesty and solemnity of other temples and Taoist temples, the style of Qingshui Temple is more pyrotechnic, and even the statues of gods enshrined are somewhat indescribably charming.

Ling Jie stood outside the hall in a daze, and after paying the money for the incense, he casually walked to a futon and knelt down to worship.

He didn't really believe it, but just wanted some comfort in his heart.However, when kowtowing, he unexpectedly heard an erratic voice, which seemed to be talking about a policy topic.To Ling Jie's surprise, the second day's school exam turned out to be about this topic.

It was like a dream.

At first, Ling Jie thought it was a coincidence, but the next few experiments were all effective.Ling Jie's grades improved rapidly, directly surpassing all the students in the academy.As a result, the original rumors and rumors have been reduced a lot.

Therefore, when he went to Qingshui Temple to offer incense again, a Taoist priest asked him if he wanted to believe in religion, Ling Jie agreed without hesitation, brought him home, and introduced him to the elders in the family.

Father Ling thought it was wrong at first, but after a few times of contact, he found that Qingshui Temple mostly talked about scriptures, and occasionally seeing a doctor was not a magic pill, but a well-behaved pulse diagnosis and medicine.

After taking that long prescription, Old Madam Ling's cough has indeed improved a lot, and Ling Jie's grades have also greatly improved.So Father Ling let him go too.

Soon, Ling Jie invited a god statue back and put it in the Buddhist hall at home.I have to go to listen to the master's discussion every now and then.And this idol also seems to have magical powers, and the situation of transcending decadence has indeed become much better.Now even Old Madam Ling and Ling Jie's mother firmly believed in Qingshui Sect.

Petty profits deceive people's hearts. At this moment, they don't know that the crisis is close at hand.

East Palace

Now that Shengshang is old and unable to cope with government affairs, most of them are handled by Prince Mu Yunxi.

At this moment, Tong You was sitting beside Mu Yunxi, watching the messages from all over the place with him, and his expression became very serious.

Recently, dark sects all over the world have reported that a Taoist temple called Qingshui Sect has suddenly shown signs.Although the way of winning people's hearts is extremely decent, it is full of subtleties and violations.

Either it is true benevolence, or it is an unruly heart.

Most people in the world can't get up early without benefit.Tong You and Mu Yunxi looked at each other, and they both knew it very well.Mu Yunxi raised his voice to call his confidant to come in, and explained a few words carefully, while Tong You directly picked up the pen, and in the reply letter to the dark department, he simply and neatly wrote a sharp and sharp "kill".

The author has something to say: Tong You: I never owe favors

Taizhi: I just want to give you the whole world
