Yan Tong smiled with her eyes and looked at her eyebrows, showing that after being flattered by He Dan, she looked full of heart, but she knew very well in her heart that He Dan was close to the Meng family and belittled the Kong family.i^
He Dan is knowledgeable, responsible, and tolerant. He treats the Meng family and the Kong family equally. Although he is not close, he is not far away from him, and does not do any tricks in secret, all of this happened when Kong Qingfeng entered Hangzhou as an official.
A huge change.
The two Kong brothers, Kong Qiufeng, the eldest brother, is Kong Liren's father, entrenched in Hangzhou and dominate Jiangnan. Except for the Meng, Xun and Han families, there is no rival.
Kong Qingfeng, the second brother of the Kong family, passed the rank of Jinshi for a young age, second place in the second place, and was a talented man. He started as a ninth-rank official and was promoted to the rank of the six ministers and became a second-rank official in the court.
With such a brilliant path to promotion, of course, one is because of his own knowledge, two is because Kong Qingfeng is good at engaging in the business, and three is because Kong Qiufeng, the eldest brother of the Kong family, has used countless gold and silver for him, and opened up the relationship with Xiao Yan.
After following Xiao Yan's path, he was able to climb up the sky.
All this went smoothly. When Shi Yue appeared, Kong Qingfeng was always Xiao Yan's confidant until Shi Yue, Bai Mochou, Kang Shanzhen plotted that Xiao Yan took the initiative to abandon Kong Qingfeng and sent Kong Qingfeng to prison.
, live a life of oneself.
Shi Yue, who was in the face of Kong Liren, and Bai Mochou helped Kong Qingfeng to protect him, was able to avoid Kong Qingfeng's prison. Kong Qingfeng could no longer settle down in the capital. In desperation, he defected to the disciple of Fuwang who had admired him very much in the past.
He was appointed as the Minister of Personnel of the small court in Jiangnan.
The arrival of Kong Qingfeng made He Dan very nervous.
In the past, Kong Qingfeng was an official in Beijing, but He Dan was neither too calm to the Kong family, but Kong Qingfeng came to Hangzhou to become an official, so the situation was very different.
Kong Qingfeng is knowledgeable, talented, knowledgeable, ambitious, and has good friends with King Fu. Behind him, Kong Qiufeng, the eldest brother of the Kong family, uses silver to pave the way for Kong Qingfeng - the third person who became an official in Jiangnan when Kong Qingfeng first entered Jiangnan.
In the morning, Kong Qiu Fengguang spent more than one million taels of silver on the banquet.i^
Where did so much money be spent?
He Dan knew very well that he must have given many gifts to the officials attending the banquet, and even He Dan himself received ten thousand taels of silver.
Such a combination of officials and businessmen and the Kong family's large-scale acquisition of people's hearts made He Dan reach unprecedented tension. He speculated that Kong Qingfeng had made great plans and would not only satisfy the position of Minister of Personnel.
From that moment on, He Dan put down his airs and quickly colluded with the Meng family - He Dan needed money to pave the way, and the Meng family needed to take advantage of the situation.
Both sides will get what they need and hit it off!
The ultimate goal of He Dan hiding in his heart is to get Kong Qingfeng away or die, so how could the Kong family be able to live a better life?
Yan Tong quickly blew up the matter in his mind, and guessed that He Dan and the Meng family fought with the Kong brothers, which was also a check and balance plan that the emperor deliberately arranged. However, he didn't feel strange at all, but admired the emperor's true feelings.
The means of controlling people.
"Prime Minister He said it so well, which made me feel much less guilty, but..."
Yan Tong smiled, "I can understand Prime Minister He's words, and Mr. Meng can understand them. However, those businesses who insulted me behind my back or those who directly lost their interests, did not understand at all. Alas
...In order to make my ears calmer, this biased move is still unsatisfactory."
As soon as these words were spoken, He Dan and Meng Jiao were shocked!
Meng Jiao stood up tremblingly and stammered: "The eldest princess means...yes..."
Yan Tong said lightly: "In order to show fairness and justice, our palace decided to leave the tea business for the next three years to the Kong family to run it, so that it will no longer cause disgust."
"What?"
Meng Jiao and Kong Liren stood up at the same time, both of which showed an incredible expression, but there were two types of incredible. Meng Jiao's eyes were filled with panic and anger, while Kong Liren's eyes were filled with surprise and excitement...
Kong Liren immediately knelt in front of Yan Tong and said loudly: "Thank you, the eldest princess, please rest assured. The Kong family will definitely manage the tea business in an orderly manner and will not let the management methods and rules in their arms because of violence.
”
Yan Tong smiled, glanced at Shi Yue, and then said to Kong Liren: "You are friends with Shi Qianhu. Shi Qianhu can trust you, and I naturally trust you unconditionally. Get up."
"Thank you, Princess!"
Kong Liren stood up, his face still filled with uncontrollable excitement, bowed to Shi Yue and said, "Thank you for your favor, Brother Shi."
He never dreamed that his unreachable tea business was successful because of the eldest princess' appreciation of Shi Yue.
This reason sounds incredible, and I can't help but make Kong Liren think a lot. Looking at Shi Yue and then at the princess, I feel that the two of them are very good-looking and beautiful.
Meng Jiao felt as uncomfortable as if he was burnt. He was stunned by Yan Tong with a stick, but he didn't know how to resolve it.
He plopped, knelt in front of Yan Tong, and stuttered: "Your Highness, your decision is really... a bit difficult, the Meng family... the Meng family will not agree."
"Haha, the Meng family won't agree?"
With a bang, Yan Tong threw the teacup heavily on the table, narrowed her eyes and shot out a sharp light. Her face turned gloomy. She looked directly at Meng Jiao and said angrily: "Mr. Meng, who was the loyalty just now?
Thank you for yourselves and obey your words?”
"I..." Meng Jiao knelt there, speechless, wishing he could slap himself a big mouth.
Yan Tong curled his lips, feeling particularly annoyed, "I also said that this palace is making things difficult for others? Hum... I asked you, what does it mean to make things difficult for others? The tea business has given you the Meng family. Your Meng family's economic booming benefits, but the one who was scolded was
Gong, can this be considered a threat to the Meng family?”
"Princess, please calm down. Meng Jiao was reckless just now and spoke indecently. Meng Jiao deserves to die, he deserves to die."
Meng Jiao was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly.
Shi Yue came over, added fuel to the fire, and tempted Yan Tong: "Your Highness, don't be angry, your body belongs to you. If you are so angry, someone will feel distressed, and maybe someone will be secretly happy!"
Yan Tong glanced at Shi Yue, sat silently, muttered, "Who feels sorry? You... feels sorry?"
I... I feel sorry for you, you ruthless girl, can't find anyone to feel sorry for you.
Shi Yue pretended to be like he didn't see what Yan Tong said, with a teasing smile on his lips, staring at Meng Jiao, and then he said, "Besides, Mr. Meng said something wrong just now? He was obviously in a panic.
I accidentally said the true words in my heart.”
"That... can say something to the eldest princess with heart, it is because Mr. Meng is full of a heart of the Red City. However, in his words, it seems that not only is he not grateful to the eldest princess, but he also has a strong sense of resentment?
