You can't use that kind of commanding tone when dealing with Gongsun He and his gang. They are not your subordinates and partners of Su Ren. Just being here is already a great honor. Therefore, Su Ren set up a banquet and went to the door to pick these people in one by one.
.
As soon as he entered the door, Gongsun He shouted loudly: "What? We just met a few days ago, and you miss us so quickly? I know that you should come to congratulate you on your new son, but you don't want to force me to do it.
Congratulations, right? I didn’t bring anything today. I don’t have any gifts and I don’t plan to give them. I’ll come in when I’m asked and leave when I’m asked. Tell me? What should I do?”
Su Ren also laughed loudly: "You can't do it without a gift. You don't even care about basic etiquette. How about I go to your house for dinner one day and don't bring a gift?"
"Why not? If I get kicked out by Madam, don't blame me, hahaha..."
The room was filled with laughter. Only Cao Xiang felt particularly uncomfortable sitting among a group of adults. However, fortunately there was a cheap dad like Wei Qing, so Cao Xiang tried to sit as close as possible to Wei Qing and away from Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao and the like.
Farther away.
Stepping through the door, he found that there was already a room full of people. Gongsun He did not dare to neglect and bowed to Li Guang first. Li Guang became famous after the Battle of Mayi and was granted a title. He also had two sons and one grandson who were very successful.
, fulfilled his biggest wish in life, and behaved very low-key. In addition to meeting two or three friends to discuss the art of war, he and Xie Baichuan did a great job in serving retired soldiers, and became the first rank in the Han military.
This time Su Ren invited Li Guang, who originally didn't want to come, but he came anyway because Su Ren and his son Li Danghu were friends. Li Guang still agreed with Su Ren, at least this young man was fighting against the Huns.
He put a lot of effort into it, and this alone made him very attractive to Li Guang.
With a cough, Li Guang interrupted Gongsun He's commotion, and looked at Su Ren: "Su Hou, we are all soldiers. If you have anything to say, I think there are almost everyone here today. If Su Hou has anything to say, you can say it directly.
"
Su Ren smiled with his face: "What the old general said, since I have said it here, I will say it directly! This time I invite you to come..., forget it, I will make it clear. I have just taken over as the chief minister.
Nong, something went wrong, so I would like to ask for your help."
"What are you doing?" Gongsun He narrowed his eyes: "Da Sinong can only do so much, what can't you do with your ability?"
Su Ren sighed: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a family! After I and Erkuan handed over Sinong Temple yesterday, I checked the past accounts again and found that Sinong Temple has been..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Gongsun He raised his hand to interrupt: "The accounting issue is also his son's business. What does it have to do with you, a big agricultural worker who has only been in office for one day?"
Wei Qing said: "Let Brother Su finish his words first."
Su Rendao: "Yes, originally it had nothing to do with me, but seeing that Erkuan has worked hard for me for decades, I couldn't embarrass Erkuan, so I took the responsibility myself. Who expected that the matter was much more serious than imagined?
I can only ask for your help."
Li Guangdao: "Er Kuan is quite strict as a person, and quite honest as an official. I'm afraid the things he did not want to happen. Zi Heng did the right thing. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Borrow money!" The smile on Su Ren's face became even brighter.
"What?" Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao burst out at the same time. Even Wei Qing felt inexplicable. Gongsun He suddenly laughed: "I said Zi Heng, Su Hou, are you kidding me? Who in the world doesn't know?
You are my great man, the God of Wealth, and you want to borrow money from us? How big of a hole will we make here? Even you can't stop it?"
Su Ren smiled again: "Please be patient! Why do you react so violently when it comes to borrowing money? The hole is not big, only fifty thousand gold."
"Why, your family is so poor that you can't even afford 50,000 gold?" Gongsun Ao was extremely surprised: "The reception you held a few days ago was said to have cost 10,000 gold. Why do you still need to negotiate for 50,000 gold today?
Shall I borrow the money?"
Wei Qing said: "But what's the secret?"
Su Ren took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "There are indeed some secrets, but I can't tell them now. Please forgive me."
After waiting for a long time, Li Guang stood up first, picked up a glass of wine from the table, and drank it all in one gulp: "If it's just this matter, Zi Heng doesn't need to say more, and I won't ask. Someone will come to my house tomorrow."
, just tell me the amount, I will definitely send someone to deliver it!"
Su Ren quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "My nephew, thank you, old general!"
Li Guang waved his hand: "You and Danghu are brothers, and we can be regarded as Gan'er and Ling'er's teacher. Going further, if you hadn't been alone in danger, how would I be the Marquis today? If Danghu comes back in the future, what will happen to you and Ling'er?
He mentioned, even if you are no longer in charge, you can just send someone to tell me, but there is no need to do this. Today's work is done, I take my leave, you can use it as you please."
Li Guang said a few words and stood up to leave, and everyone hurriedly saw him off. When he came back, the situation was a little awkward. Gongsun He seemed to have guessed something, and lowered his head in thought. Gongsun Ao was a straight man, and he didn't care about family affairs.
, let alone things outside. Hearing what Su Ren said was so serious, he kept asking questions. But Su Ren didn't want to talk anymore and was deadlocked. Wei Qing didn't know what to say, so he took Cao Xiang's hand and the two of them whispered.
say.
It was Gongsun He who broke the embarrassment and asked Su Rendao: "But it has something to do with those princes?"
Su Ren nodded.
Gongsun Ao said angrily: "What kind of prince? Are they the eighteen kings who were raised or some other bad marquis? It's just that these guys don't do anything. Why do they do things that make you embarrassed? You are not afraid that your majesty will destroy their nine tribes."
?”
Su Ren smiled and said: "Whose nine tribes should be destroyed? After all, they are all relatives of your Majesty. Is it possible that your Majesty wants to kill me?"
Gongsun He waved his hand: "Don't speak nonsense! As far as I know, there is indeed some movement from those princes, but it is not to the point of making you so embarrassed. Do they have a bigger plan? If so, you must report it to Your Majesty!"
Wei Qing also nodded: "Yes! This matter is so serious that we must inform His Majesty."
Su Ren shook his head: "I'm afraid His Majesty has already noticed this, so he put me in the position of Chief Agriculture Officer. If I can deal with those people well, it goes without saying that His Majesty can still save me even if I accidentally fail to notice. If so,
Let His Majesty decide the matter directly, that is to push His Majesty to the front desk. Once the matter is handled well, it will be a big deal."
Gongsun He took a breath and nodded: "This is indeed the truth! No wonder Erkuan only submitted a memorial for his death, and His Majesty approved it. Maybe Erkuan's initiative to die was also His Majesty's arrangement?"
No one responded, because no one was willing to speculate on the emperor's thoughts. This was a taboo event. Wei Qing thought for a while: "In that case, I said the same thing. If you need it, just come and get it."
Su Ren shook his head: "You'd better go back and discuss it with the eldest princess. Cao Xiang does the same. If the eldest princess doesn't want to participate, I won't force it."
Wei Qing also nodded: "Thank you, Brother Su, for your understanding."
Gongsun He drank a glass and put down his glass: "Tell me, how much are you going to borrow? In addition to your financial resources and the money that our family has contributed, it is an astronomical figure. If so much money can't completely crush those people,
I can only say that this is God’s will, and we will do our best.”
Su Ren smiled and said: "Then it depends on how sincere you are in preparation? Old General Li has said that as long as I tell you a number, you can get it at any time. Wei Qing's status is special. I can't guess. Counting his own eldest princess,
In addition to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion of this little guy Cao Xiang, it is estimated that there will be no less."
"Are you going to general my army?" Gongsun He was furious and slapped the table: "I have never seen someone borrow money so confidently, so it doesn't matter! As long as you don't clear out my Nanyuan Hou Mansion and leave me to wait for hunger.
Death, take it as you please!"
Su Ren gave a thumbs up: "You really have the bearing of a prime minister! I admire you!"
"roll!"
Everyone looked at Gongsun Ao. Gongsun Ao also looked at everyone: "I don't understand what you are talking about, and I don't know how much money my family has. But since you guys have already decided, what else can I say?"
Su Ren made a bow: "Thank you all very much. If this happens, I will pay you back tenfold."
"Hahaha..." Gongsun He laughed loudly: "That's very good. Your Su Ren's abilities are known to the world. No one who goes against you has good results. Since you have tried your best, there is nothing to worry about.
, come, come, have a drink, have a drink, today’s banquet is very expensive!”
The banquet didn't end until late at night. Liu Zheng, Huo Guang, Jin Rixi, Shangguan Jie, and Tian Qianqiu sat in the secret room and heard clearly what was going on outside. The three groups of people, Su Ren, used three different methods to achieve their goals.
Only one of them is money. Among the five of them, Tian Qianqiu knew about Sinong Temple. Huo Guang guessed a thing or two from the conversation and his own research on political economics. Jin Rixi and Shangguan Jie were not stupid people.
I also understand a little bit. Only Liu Zhi, firstly, he has not experienced much at a young age, and secondly, his understanding of money has not yet reached that stage, so he is the most confused. However, Liu Zhi also heard that someone wanted to do something to the big man.
The bad things, at least the bad things done to Tai Fu Su Ren.
As Su Ren's favorite disciple, Huo Guang took the initiative to become the leader of several people. He picked up the thin booklet that he had already placed beside him and handed a copy to everyone: "This is the teacher meeting those people."
I copied a few copies of what I wrote before. According to the teacher's wishes, I will show it to you after the conversation is over. How to deal with it from now on requires countermeasures. The teacher means that we will deal with this incident. If there is any
If you have any questions, come back and ask.”
Huo Guang's words were spoken indifferently, but they were like thunder in the ears of several people. They had just understood that this was a major event that affected the Han Dynasty and the people of the world, and Su Ren had so easily let them who had not officially left the academy.
students to cope with it! How much self-confidence does this require?
Jin Rixi took tolerance as his foundation when he was in the Xiongnu; Shangguan Jie was very courageous; Huo Guang was Su Ren's first disciple, so these people were relatively calm. Tian Qianqiu was only called by Su Ren
He went to Sinong Temple to help, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big thing. But he did this today. Even though he boasted about his intelligence, he couldn't help but feel nervous. The most excited person was Liu Zhi, he was the prince and the future emperor.
, this is the moment he has dreamed of.
Huo Guang was the first to take the lead and kneel down to Liu Zheng. Jin Rixi, Shangguan Jie, and Tian Qianqiu also knelt down quickly: "Your Highness, please take control of it, and we will crush this conspiracy!" (To be continued)
