The traces of permeating murderous intent disappeared in a flash, and before Jiang Chong saw it clearly, Chang Geng praised nonchalantly: "Fang Shangshu is indeed talented, and he is really a capable minister in governing the world."

Prince Yan spoke briskly, and his appreciation seemed to be sincere, as if the unspeakable murderous intent just now was entirely Master Jiang's own imagination, only the word "governing the world" was used very delicately.

Fang Qin's notes pointed directly at Emperor Long'an's heart, and he didn't comment on whether it was good or bad to classify refugees into factories. He only focused on Ziliujin's supervision and safety issues, and even dragged Gu Yun out to talk about it—"Several If the soldiers of the Wanxuan Iron Battalion fought bloody battles on the front line, if they can’t make good use of it, wouldn’t it be cold to the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals?”

Gu Yun probably wouldn't care too much about it, but Li Feng's Ni Lin was properly poked. When Chang Geng persuaded Feng Han to make concessions on the Ziliujin issue, he said that since the wise and mighty Emperor Wu, To the emperor's family, Ziliujin seems to be another jade seal passed on to the country, not to mention that the royal private treasury accumulated by Jinghua Garden for several generations was burned down. Since then, Li Feng will only feel more insecure.

Later, Fang Qin also listed a long list of possible consequences of selling Ziliujin to private businessmen: for example, if this opening is opened, how to identify whether the Ziliujin in the hands of private businessmen was bought from the imperial court or smuggled ?

If the price of smuggling purple gold from outside is lower, then profit-seeking businessmen will naturally smuggle it under the licensed brand. Private possession, private sale, and smuggling of purple gold have been repeatedly banned.

Another example, if nothing else happens, the factory industry will always live longer than ordinary people. Even if the imperial court only grants the franchise to these thirteen private volunteers, what will happen to their descendants?

The place where Ziliujin is burned will only burn more and more in the future, otherwise it will be unsustainable, so is the imperial court going to give their children and grandchildren a franchise?What about the separation of children and grandchildren?What if the factory is bought?If the franchise of Ziliujin can also be bought and sold, wouldn't it be too convenient for the bad guys to hoard armored lighters for rebellion in the future?

But if this kind of franchise is just a one-off sale, and it’s not right for the people, then after the death of the thirteen people holding the franchise, and the factories are scattered, won’t there still be refugees?

The current generation of refugees knows that foreign enemies caused them to be displaced, and that the imperial court took care of their food and arranged for them a place to go, but what will they think when they return decades later?They would only think that the imperial court that forcibly withdrew the franchise had smashed their jobs. Wouldn't this solve the temporary crisis and plant endless disasters?

In addition, there are various worries, and Fang Qin finally summed it up in elegant terms: In summary, those who encourage the sale of Ziliujin to private traders are either simple-minded, or they just don’t care about their heads. Look at the present and don't think about how it will end in the future, or it's just a stick to stir up shit, fishing in troubled waters, and I don't know what An De's intentions are.

Fang Shangshu was extremely talented, and he wrote a long note, every word and every word, poked at Emperor Long'an's heart.

"If this booklet is sent to the military plane in the usual way, we still have the ability to stop it," Jiang Chong sighed, "but... alas, my lord, the Fang family has a deep foundation in the court after all."

Chang Geng suddenly laughed silently.

Jiang Chong was baffled by his laughter.

I saw Prince Yan slowly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, said: "Master Fang is talking about current affairs that are urgently needed, not just nonsense, and his words are reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it." Even if it is sent to the military plane, what reason do we have to stop it? Han Shi, is your sentence correct? Is the military plane a place dedicated to bullying superiors and inferiors, playing power and cheating?"

Although his tone was gentle, but his words were already extremely serious, Jiang Chong was startled: "My lord..."

Chang Geng calmed down slightly, and interrupted him lightly: "Today, these words come out of your mouth and into your own ears, and will not be passed on to a third person, let's forget it for now, but I don't want to hear similar words in the military aircraft department again. .”

Jiang Chong hurriedly responded, "Yes, the lower official made a slip of the tongue."

Chang Geng's expression softened, and he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I am a person with limited experience, lack of intelligence and self-cultivation when encountering things, I treat you as my own, and I don't have anyone to control my mouth. Brother Han Shi, don't take it too seriously."

Jiang Chong said repeatedly, "Don't dare."He was single-handedly promoted by King Yan, and others thought he was his confidant, but he himself felt more and more unable to see through this superior who knew him well.

The forces headed by the Fang family will not sit back and watch the upstarts take advantage of the country's lack of money to take advantage of it, and will spare no effort to suppress it, that's for sure.

Others may not be clear about it, but Jiang Chong knows that these so-called "upstarts" are precisely supported by Prince Yan - since the reform of bureaucracy...or even earlier, the issuance of beacon tickets, this matter has been paving the way.

If his long foreshadowing is to lay out a situation, where will it end up?

Is His Royal Highness King Yan really just being selfless and doing everything to alleviate the country's temporary crisis?Is he really as desireless as he has always shown him to be, as soon as the foreign enemies retreat, he will immediately hang his seal and go home as an idle prince who eats the royal rations?

If that's the case, why does he need to spend so much effort to build such a large stall?

But if Yan Wang just used this big lie to deceive the world, and had other plans in his heart... what could he have?

He is the only living brother of the current emperor, and also the only His Royal Highness Prince of Daliang. If he wants to go further, there is only... that position.

But it doesn't make any sense at all. If King Yan really wanted to take the throne, why did he resist the decree when Emperor Long'an handed down the decree for him to succeed?

Taking a step back, even if he refused at the time, and then made up his mind later, why did he bother to offend a bunch of important officials in the court with his dignity as a prince?Isn't it normal to try to win over?

Jiang Chong was confused, and asked quite cautiously: "But Your Highness, even the lower officials are full of doubts about the establishment of a factory by private businessmen after reading this paperwork, let alone the emperor? But if this matter really fails, then let's not How should the court appease Duke Du and the others who have made great contributions to the country, and how should the many refugees settle down?"

"You're thinking about it now," Chang Geng said with a meaningful smile, "After reading it, the emperor will only be full of doubts about the private business buying and selling Zi Liu Jin. Since Mr. Fang has made it so clear, private business buying and selling Zi Liu Jin It’s not feasible, we might as well think about how to solve this problem, wouldn’t we have the best of both worlds?”

Jiang Chong was taken aback for a moment.

Chang Geng: "Go back and prepare. Tomorrow everyone will arrive a little earlier. The Military Aircraft Department will discuss this matter before the court meeting. Don't let my brother down."

Jiang Chong responded, stood up and said goodbye - for a moment, he could hear some kind of indescribable certainty in Yan Wang's calm words - as if he had already expected Fang Qin's note, and had already thought about it. Well, what should be the next step.

But... since there is a solution, why didn't it be proposed in the first place, and why did it have to go around this detour?

Apart from intensifying the conflict between the upstarts of Fenghuo tickets and the aristocratic families in advance, what is the use of this?

"Oh, right, Han Shi." Chang Geng called him to stop.

The preoccupied Jiang Chong came to his senses, thinking that he had something important to do, so he listened attentively.

Chang Geng: "By the way, ask them to fry two catties of crispy salted yellow croaker for me and wrap it up. I'll take it back later, thank you!"

Master Jiang slipped and almost fell down the stairs.

At this time, Gu Yun, who was left behind by Emperor Long'an, was barely able to leave before the palace gate was locked.

The deployment of the four parties' combat readiness has to be reviewed by the Marquis of An Ding before it can be reported to the Military Aircraft Office and forwarded to the Emperor for approval. Originally, the latest Ziliujin deployment plan was to be handed over to Gu Yun after the Great Court Meeting. Unexpectedly, the Emperor left him until this hour as soon as he stayed. Shen Yi had no choice but to wait until night fell and when he was yawning boredly, he saw Gu Yun walking out slowly.

"Why has it been so long?" Shen Yi went up to meet him, "I thought you were arguing with the emperor again because of something."

Gu Yun took the paperwork he was about to submit, and flipped through it casually: "I'll take it back and look at it—what's the fuss, I'm already this age."

Shen Yi: "..."

He looked at Gu Yun in shock, tongue tied and said: "This... this age? Marshal, are you okay? What did the emperor tell you?"

Actually said "a flower in the Northwest" that is stinking all day long as "this age"!

Gu Yun cast a melancholy glance at his shoulder, the little crown prince lying on his shoulder hadn't done his haha ​​yet.

If a person has been single for a long time, it is always easy to feel that he is still young and young. Unexpectedly, he has become an "uncle" generation by accident. Then he suddenly remembered that at his age, if he was replaced by someone with a short lifespan , about half my life has passed.

"It's nothing." Gu Yun said absent-mindedly as he walked, "Maybe he was annoyed by the quarrel at the Dachaohui, so he said a few frustrated words to me... The emperor was always competitive since he was a child, and he had to dominate others in everything he did. It's not that he didn't think about Mount Tai's enshrining Zen when he first ascended the throne, and it's not easy for him to make it like this all these years... oh, it's not easy."

Shen Yi put his hands behind his back and listened silently. Every time he was involved in these royal affairs, he felt very tired. Headed by Yuan and Xiandi who had already entered the imperial mausoleum, each one was more capricious than the other. It took three days. It will make you honored and favored unparalleled, wishing to have power over the world, and you will be annoyed for two days, and you will become a prisoner in a blink of an eye.

Let's talk about Yuanhe Xiandi, if he could cut through the mess early, Gu Yun would almost be able to marry a wife if he was reincarnated, but that one wanted to get rid of the Gu family, and couldn't bear to do it several times, like a cruel hunter who took a tiger's den. I did it all, but I was reluctant to kill the tiger cub, so I had to take it home and raise it as a cat. I killed it with sincerity, spoiled it with sincerity, and ended up raising such a deeply affectionate "curse" like Gu Yun. I really don't know. Make or break.

Shen Yi sighed: "Those of us who were fighting outside did not know the difficulties in the court. Only when we came back did we realize that His Royal Highness Yan Wang has not been easy for more than a year. Guess what, my father was still talking to me yesterday, saying that I am a 'good fortune, how can I know? It's not a blessing'——Although my family is not a famous family, it is also a generation of imperial examinations, and the [-] people are eating the emperor's food and salary. At that time, I insisted on going to the Lingshu Temple, but my old man was fine. It's even more outrageous to run out of the courtyard to join the army with you... Well, don't even mention it, in the eyes of our aunts and uncles, I'm simply a hopeless prodigal."

Gu Yun was dissatisfied and said: "With real military achievements, how can you lose your family?"

"That's what I said, but now my old man is a little lucky," Shen Yi said, "He said that there are undercurrents everywhere in the court, and the situation is getting more and more complicated. Instead, it is better to fight outside with you, at least the point of the gun It’s all aimed at the enemy.”

Gu Yun didn't feel at ease in his heart, instead he stuffed it even tighter. He didn't know what kind of role Chang Geng played in the chaotic court. Up to now, the Military Aircraft Department seemed to be just a special period, for the whole country to "be in the future" "Battle first" is a temporary organization that coordinates the national power and coordinates the ministers. Although one branch of power imitates the previous system, it is the center of state affairs and is directly submitted to the emperor to command the six ministries. If it calms down, the Military Aircraft Department can be abolished at any time.

Headed by Prince Yan, the Military Aircraft Department has been circling around the needs of the emperor and the major military regions, and everyone's position seems to be behind the fog.

"Don't talk about these bad things," Shen Yi interrupted his thoughts, "By the way, is His Royal Highness King Yan still living in the Hou's Mansion? What is going on with you?"

Gu Yun: "..."

Shen Yi couldn't see the "unexplainable" expression on his face at all, and kept chattering endlessly: "I've heard people say that in the past, His Royal Highness King Yan lived at the military plane for ten and a half months, and only recently began to check the points. Let's go, it seems that it started when you returned to Beijing... Sigh, if he didn't take it very seriously, he probably wouldn't dare to entertain you."

He babbled about his emotions, and he didn't know whether he felt that it was not easy for Prince Yan to let the one surnamed Gu follow suit, or he warned Gu Yun that this relationship was astonishing, and he would end it if he broke it - anyway, Gu Yun didn't understand the spirit , frowned and said: "I don't understand, what do you mean?"

"It means that I don't know what to do about this matter," Shen Yi scratched his ears and said, "I just worry about you."

Gu Yun: "..."

He felt that Shen Yi wasn't worrying about him, but just making things difficult for him.

But I've already slept, Shen Yi's words together with emotion are already eight lifetimes late, but even though Gu Shuai has a thick skin, it's really inconvenient to tell the "truth" to the world.

He caught a glimpse of Shen Yi still following him step by step, as if he didn't intend to go back to each house, so he raised his eyebrows angrily and said: "Why are you still following me, are you going to the Hou's mansion to watch why I am worried? "

Shen Yi sneered, and said in a low voice: "Zixi, we have been friends for so many years, can I have a meal?"

Gu Yun wondered: "Your family is so poor that you can't get rid of it?"

Shen Yi deviated from his normal habit of talking nonsense, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "My father... recently wanted to arrange a marriage for me, that... was a bit too enthusiastic, I can't afford to offend his old man, so I had to hide around ——Hey, you’re almost ready, don’t smile, is there such a thing as revenge? Oh, if you have any worries, I will send them out for you, if I have any worries, you will gloat over others’ misfortune…”

When he was halfway through his words, Gu Yun couldn't breathe from his laughter: "I... have really learned a lot, this is the first time I saw a general who was forced to marry and eat a lot of food."

Shen Yi: "...Gu Zixi, is our friendship still there? Shut up if you are still there, treat me to a good meal, and forgive you."

He really regretted not taking advantage of the time when Gu Yun couldn't get up to get out of bed to take revenge. As expected, honest people are bullied.

Gu Yun was tired from laughing, so he comforted him perfunctorily: "Be content soon, someone urged me because my father is still alive. I wanted to be urged, but no one urged me."

Shen Yi looked a little lonely when he heard this, and said: "My father may be afraid that I will die on the battlefield, so he is anxious to leave the Shen family behind. After so many years, I have never let him worry, it is... I am a person I know, you are born to be very trivial, if you have a wife and children, it may be difficult to stay in the frontier, you are already lonely enough, if I go..."

Gu Yun stopped smiling, and turned his head to look at him two steps away.

Shen Yi: "Recently, I've seen that you want to retire after success. If you really beat the foreigners back, the emperor will never trouble you again. Besides, there is His Royal Highness King Yan. Your Highness is careful, benevolent and righteous." , and to you again... I'm sure I can take care of you, I've been a fool for so many years, and it's time for me to calm down and start a family."

"Ji Ping," Gu Yun said, "Could it be..."

Shen Yi waited for him to speak.

Gu Yun: "...you also have a crush on me?"

Shen Yi tripped over a raised stone on the ground.

Gu Yun shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to give up on a natural beauty, alas, being too handsome is also troublesome."

Shen Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared: "You still have to be shameless!"

For a moment, General Shen's various worries turned into anger, and he followed Gu Yun all the way back to the Hou's Mansion. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Prince Yan who had just returned from Wangnan Tower at the gate.

In front of General Shen, Chang Geng greeted him very politely, and then handed the little yellow croaker to Gu Yun: "Just out of the pot, my adoptive father said it was delicious last time, so I bought it along the way."

Shen Yi laughed dryly.

Gu Yun had a dry cough.

Chang Geng's eyes, that expression - Shen Yi felt that it was a complete mistake for him to come to the Marquis's mansion for a meal, and he was blind, while Gu Yun's back hurt when he heard the word "foster father", and he also fell silent.

As soon as His Royal Highness King Yan showed his face, he subdued the two lively generals, and led them in with a smile on his face.
