"It is impossible for a saint's bank to make money for a period of time. You know this!"

"But this is a long-term benefit. It is a long-term investment. If there are disadvantages, there must be advantages. Don't think about turning the bank into a quick money-making business. This is impossible and unrealistic!"

"Then what's the point of me?!"

Ha... Xia Song finally revealed his true face. Sure enough, Ye An had suspected his purpose of finding her from the beginning. It was not just to raise an army to accuse him. On the contrary, he was a shrewd man, someone who was responsible only to Liu E, or in other words, only to Liu E.

The new Third Division Government Office in charge of Tianjia has many opportunities to get ahead.

Although Xia Song lost the opportunity to serve as an official, this did not mean a loss. On the contrary, it meant that he could once again stand out in this new government office.

Xia Song's ability is obvious to all, especially after he went on a mission to the Khitan. He should have been given the opportunity to be promoted, and this mission was his training, or a reward.

But now that he was detained in Tokyo City by Ye An, he also got a good opportunity, especially the opportunity to get closer to Liu E.

Being able to say such words in front of Ye An naturally proves that he has accepted this position. Ye An smiled confidently and said: "You want to prove your worth in the court and your talents to the saints. Qianzhuang

Why not? Although there may not be benefits for a while, but in the long run..."

"Do you think a saint can wait a long time?" Xia Song looked at Ye An, his meaningful expression particularly obvious.

Ye An showed a confident smile again: "Of course we can wait! I believe that the saint can still be in charge of military and state affairs for a while, what do you think?"

Xia Song's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at Ye An like a poisonous snake and saying: "I didn't expect that Ye Hou, who considers himself a solitary minister, is actually a rear party member?!"

Ye An frowned slightly, but even under Xia Song's sharp eyes, he still said calmly: "The rear party? I can't say, I am not a rear party, but I don't want to be at odds with the saint because of the official's pro-government, let alone the chaos in the court.

And Jiangshan Sheji."

"Then why did you say that? There are so many people in the court who are admonishing the officials and requesting pro-government officials..."

"I'm going too far. After all, it's not that you don't want to be related to the saint? But don't forget, how long will it take for you to go forward and follow the common path of civil servants? I don't think you will get your husband in a short time.

Their favor, after all... no matter how good you are in the locked examination, it is still the locked examination, right?"

Ye An's words hit Xia Song's critical point. After being stunned for a moment, he finally sighed: "You are right. I never thought that at your age, you could see things in the court so clearly."

Xia Song was helpless. He had to make a choice. If he insisted on going out, it would mean offending Liu E now. But if he didn't go out and accepted the new position of official director of the Third Division, he would be considered by the courtiers as a rear party member.

.

He was struggling with this, which was also the main purpose of looking for Ye An today. After he learned that Ye An actually liked Liu E, he suspected that Ye An was a rear party member, but after all, Ye An was a bachelor of the official family. This kind of

His identity makes it impossible for him to be a rear party member.

Through this conversation, Xia Song wanted to determine Ye An's position. He wanted to know whether Ye An was a queen or a royalist, but the result was not satisfactory to him. Ye An's statement was confusing to him. He seemed to be supporting the saint.

He is a supervisor of the country, but he also praises and protects the officials.

From this point of view, it seems that as he said, he is a lonely minister in the court, helping no one, but everyone is protecting him.

Xia Song felt that Ye An might be in the best condition like this. Although he had no backer, no one would touch him. This might be his greatest guard of honor.

Xia Song really wanted to be like Ye An. He had no background or backing in the court, but he could easily move among all the forces and even gained trust from saints and officials. But unfortunately

It’s him, Xia Song, who can’t do it!

Ever since he accepted Lu Yijian's "goodwill", he had become a member of Lu Xianggong's party, which he couldn't erase even if he wanted to.

And it is precisely this point that makes it an act of betrayal for him to be transferred by Liu E to the government office under the Third Division as the director.

The court seems calm now, but in fact it is very chaotic under the calm. Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Wang Qinruo, Fan Yong, even Cao Lili and Feng Zheng all have their own thoughts.

It means that both parties cooperate with each other, and each has its own interests under this cooperation.

Xia Song looked at the young man in front of him. He didn't think Ye An could sort out the relationship or even handle it safely, but he still looked at the people upstairs in Xuande and said in a tentative tone.

: "Is Changsheng trying to make Xia become a lonely minister like you?"

"Can you be a lonely minister? Don't be ridiculous..."

Ye An curled his lips in disdain. It was a bit out of tune for Xia Song to say such words at this time. Who didn't know that he had been classified as Lu Yijian's party.

Once a label is attached, it is difficult to remove it. Even if Xia Song wanted to deliberately keep a distance from Lu Yijian, in reality it was impossible to do so, because it was Lu Yijian who suggested to the saint to send Xia Song as an envoy to the Liao Dynasty!

It was Lu Yijian who was supporting Xia Song. Xia Song almost went to every banquet held by Lu Yijian. Who would believe him if he said he was not a party member of Lu Yijian?

Infuriated by Ye An's mocking look, Xia Song was about to have a fit but suddenly froze. After being stunned for a moment, he looked at Ye An and said, "No! You want to drive a wedge between me and Mr. Lu?! Once I accept the mission of the saint..."

…”

Ye An reached out his hand irritably to interrupt Xia Song: "Stop it! Don't think that everyone is the same as you. I'm not helping a saint to do anything. It's all because of your ability in wealth. This yamen's

The name has not yet been decided, and it is under the supervision of the three divisions. The saint asked me who is the most suitable person to be the chief officer, so I naturally thought of you and recommended you because I thought you had the ability. I had no other ideas!"

Sure enough, Xia Song's alertness made him gradually aware of the danger, but Ye An still wanted to continue the play. Yes, he wanted to get Xia Song out of the relationship with Lu Yijian. If such people couldn't keep him under his nose, then

Sooner or later, he will become a powerful official, and at the same time, he will pursue interests at all costs.

More importantly, his own study of objects requires him to make Xia Song his "one of his own" even if he seeks the skin of a tiger. The first step is to make him and Lu Yijian different, and he and Liu E will also be suspicious of each other. Then

There is really no better way to borrow money from a bank.

These do not come from the political wisdom of this era. On the contrary, they come from his former teacher. Although the old gentleman has been hiding in the Ivory Tang to teach all his life, his understanding of politics is amazing. It is because he understands politics that all his talents are

I don’t want to participate, but how can a good person be willing to hide himself?

Ye An became his best confidant. It can be said that the political wisdom Ye An uses now is summarized by later generations of scholars. It is more accurate and forward-looking...
