The eldest son Liu Buyei, who had been unknown for so many years, suddenly took out three hundred gold and wanted to do business with Su Ren, the envoy of Hengshan Kingdom! This matter was the biggest event in Shouchun City these days.
"Three hundred gold!" Liu Qian gritted his teeth: "I didn't expect this loser to be able to come up with so much money. Where did his money come from?"
Doctor Su Fei shook his head: "Although the eldest son is not liked by the king, he is not missing from the annual quota. Furthermore, the eldest son has no social activities, and there are few servants and servants in the family. Over the past few decades, he has accumulated three hundred
Jin is right."
"Does he trust Su Ren that much?"
"Someone saw that at noon on the day of the King's banquet, the eldest son and the young master went to the other courtyard where Su Ren lived early in the morning and talked in secret for three hours."
Liu Qian had a constipated expression on his face: "I usually keep quiet, but now I resort to such methods. It seems that this coward really wants to stand up, huh!"
"Your Majesty, based on what this villain has seen, we can't just keep an eye on the eldest son. We need to send someone to find out who released this news."
Liu Qian nodded: "Yes, what Dr. Su said is so right. Check it out. You must find out clearly."
Liu Hong held the wine glass and stared intently at the graceful dancer in the hall. The dancer's face was full of spring, and when she met Liu Hong's eyes, the shy feeling made Liu Hong so horny that he wanted to jump down and kill her immediately.
He took her into his arms. Zuo Wu and Wu were sitting on either side of Liu Hong, and they closed their eyes slightly. They really couldn't stand this kind of obscene singing and dancing.
The dancer's clothes were too few and many parts were not covered. She made a little movement and she felt like a spring. Looking at the two old men for a few more times made her heart beat wildly and her blood was gushing. She must be getting older.
, in order to live for two more years, it is better not to watch this kind of singing and dancing.
After the dance, Liu Hong picked up the wine glass and said, "Here, let the two middle men have a drink!"
The dancers retreated one after another, and the three of them raised their glasses to congratulate each other. Zuo Wu was the first to finish his drink and put down his glass, and asked Liu Hong, "Master, is the news you said accurate? It's not like Su Ren deliberately let you know that there is something behind his back."
What's the purpose? This person has many tricks, so we must be more careful."
Liu Hong smiled: "It should be true. Someone saw the eldest son going to Su Ren's residence with a box of gold and silver before my father's banquet that day. Three hundred gold was only a lot more."
Zuo Wu nodded: "It seems that this matter must be true. I just don't know whether the eldest son really wants to do business with Su Ren or does he have other ideas. Doing business is just an excuse?"
"Then it's not something we worry about. The one who has a headache now should be Liu Buhai."
"There is also the Crown Prince!" Wu Bei suddenly interrupted: "Su Ren is the envoy of Hengshan Kingdom and an official of the imperial court. If he intends to form an alliance with the eldest son, the one who will be most worried about him should be the crown prince. With Su Ren as his help, the eldest son has been in trouble for so many years.
The neglect suffered by Huainan Kingdom will surely be washed away."
"Hahaha! This is exactly why I let this matter out."
"High! It's really high!" Zuo Wu picked up the wine glass again: "Young Master's trick of substituting one's strengths and weaknesses is very good."
"Hahaha..." Liu Hong laughed and had a drink with Zuo Wu.
Su Ren was also drinking, but there was no singing and dancing from Liu Hong, and he was not in the lobby but under the yew trees in the courtyard. The wine from Huainan was too weak, and he didn’t bring much from home, and Shouchun didn’t have the kind of foundation that Cuixianglou had.
, it is really not easy to drink the high-quality Erguotou that we have in our house. Although the wine in front of us is bland and tasteless, it is better than nothing. Su Ren picked up the big bowl and drank half of it in one go, just to quench his thirst.
No wonder those guys on TV can drink ten kilograms of wine in one meal. As long as your stomach can hold this glutinous rice wine, you can drink twenty or thirty kilograms. Han Qing's drinking image is much more civilized, holding a small bottle
Taste the bowl slowly and from time to time, smashing it to show your appreciation for this kind of wine.
Today's guest is Liu Jian, both of whom are young people. Su Ren is very casual: "Young master, you can do whatever you want. You don't need to be restrained here. What I hate the most is the red tape. When I drink, I have to drink freely. I only taste a little bit and stop watching."
I just feel unmanly.”
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Sir, you are generous and generous. He is the most sincere person I have ever met."
"Don't say flattery. Are you feeling better these days?"
Liu Jian nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your help, sir. Since the news came out, the people I have seen these days are very different from before. My grandfather called my father to the palace early this morning. This is the first time in decades."
"Oh? What does the king ask the eldest son to do for you?"
Liu Jian shook his head: "It's not clear yet that my father has not left the palace. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be a bad thing. The people who came to invite my father are very polite."
"Could it be that the king also wants to join in? Hahaha..."
Liu Jian did not laugh: "Mr. Su is really going to use the three hundred gold gift from my father to do business?"
"Yes! Even if you are a shareholder, it is not easy for the eldest son to save these three hundred gold. I still feel uncomfortable giving it to me for free, so I will treat it as a shareholding between the eldest son and the younger son, and they will slowly divide it when they make money in the future!"
"Hahaha..." Several people laughed.
After laughing, Su Ren took a breath and said to Liu Jian with a serious face: "Young master, I will try to persuade your father after I get back. Since I have already started, I can only keep going. Giving up halfway will not only not have a good effect, but also cause harm to you, father and son."
There really is no place for it in Huainan Kingdom."
Liu Jian nodded solemnly: "I understand that I have kept Mr.'s tips in my heart. Now that I have done it, I will never back down. After so many years of anger in the Huainan Kingdom, our father and son have to stand out."
"That's good. I'll ask the young master to take the lead in opening a wine shop on Changxing Street tomorrow. It will be run by my Cuixiang Building. It's considered a cooperation between us. As long as we have the first foothold, other things will gradually fall into place!" Su
Ren Dao: "The eldest young master's prestige has been lost for a long time. If you want to get it back, you must take your time. Don't be impatient. Young master, remember this."
"Thank you Mr. Su. If my father and son can be proud of themselves in the future, Mr. Su will be a great benefactor to us."
Su Ren pulled Liu Jian, who stood up to salute, to sit down, and said with a smile: "Since we are partners, don't use these vulgar etiquettes. From now on, if you need any help, young master, just come to me and run to the city alone."
Being angry outside is not a good idea."
After staying with Su Ren for half a day, Liu Jian was called back by his old servant, saying that Liu Buhai had come out of the palace and had something to discuss. Liu Jian got up to leave, and Su Ren sent him outside. Watching Liu Jian walk away, Han
Qing smiled and said: "This young master is already in the hands of the master. From now on, he will obey the master's orders. Now it seems that Liu Buhai has become a problem. I don't know what King Huainan said to him. He is so anxious."
Go back to Liu Jian."
"It's nothing more than comfort and encouragement. The current situation in Huainan Kingdom cannot make any mistakes." Su Ren turned around and walked back: "Actually, all the princes and kings, even the royal family, have this problem. If there are too many sons, there are too many choices.
Many times, when the head of a family gets older, fighting between brothers is inevitable, but it just manifests itself in different ways."
"Sir, are you so sure that Liu Buhui has the capital to compete?"
Su Ren shook his head: "We chose him precisely because he has no capital. Huainan King Liu An is the biggest threat to the court. From the first day I came out, the shadow of Huainan King has always existed, from Shu County to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Kuaiji.
Not to mention the Hengshan Kingdom and the Huainan Kingdom. Such people seem harmless to humans and animals, but once they are activated, they will be catastrophic. The best way is to drain the Huainan King's energy into the Huainan Kingdom."
"How do you decide, sir?"
"Tomorrow I will report to His Majesty that the King of Huainan intends to rebel, and I hope the imperial court will send someone to investigate!" Su Ren suddenly stopped: "What happened to the Huainan Prime Minister and the lieutenant who asked you to contact them? These two people are from the Huainan Kingdom.
representatives, with their support, things will be much easier to handle.”
"I've sent someone to visit you. I don't know why the two of them don't want to see each other. I'll come to visit you in person this afternoon."
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not that simple. It's better to go at night and take the back door."
Han Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized it immediately: "No! Sir, you are very thoughtful."
In the afternoon, Wu Bei and Zuo Wu came together. As the courtesy officers of Huainan Kingdom to receive the envoy Su Ren, these two people were obviously incompetent. They couldn't find people at all times, and they had no chance to talk to each other. It was rare for these two people to do so.
Su Ren felt a little surprised that he came so early today. After saying a few polite words, a few people sat down.
"Mr. Su's habit of living here?" Zuo Wu spoke first: "We in Huainan don't need Hengshan. Your Majesty keeps a low profile, and this courtyard is a bit crude."
"Very good. Compared to Kuaiji and Yuedi, this is where the gods are."
"Hehehe, Mr. Su is so funny!" Zuo Wu and Wu Bei looked at each other, and Wu Bei said: "Sir, you are the envoy of the King of Hengshan. Your Majesty sent us to ask if there is anything important that King Hengshan has to discuss with you?
"
"I would have forgotten if I didn't mention it." Su Ren slapped his forehead: "That's right, next year is the year of the meeting between the two countries in Hengshan and Huainan. The King of Hengshan has already prepared to go to Chang'an to meet with His Majesty in person, and came here to discuss it with the King of Huainan.
, the two countries are the countries of Paoze, and we are meeting together. If the King of Huainan is interested, the King of Hengshan is willing to go with your king."
Zuo Wu and Wu were shocked. None of them expected this to happen. Although the King of Huainan and the King of Hengshan were brothers, the two countries had been at war with each other several times in the past few years. Now they have to meet for an audience. It sounds like
I feel strange.
Wu was said: "We need to report such a big matter to the king and ask the king to make a decision."
"Yes! Tomorrow I will go to the palace to present the certificate of credence. Whether I go or not depends entirely on the decision of King Huainan."
Su Ren told Zuo Wu and Wu Bei about his mission without any concealment. It depends on what King Huainan thinks. At this point, Su Ren's mission as envoy has come to an end. Even if King Huainan doesn't go, Su Ren still has many ways.
After causing trouble in the Huainan Kingdom, Liu An would have no choice but to follow him to Chang'an. As long as Liu An arrived in Chang'an, the rest of the matter would be much easier to handle.
After seeing off Zuo Wu and Wu Gui, it was already dark. After dinner, Han Qing secretly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Ren was bored and reading in the room. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was Su Ren's favorite.
Unfortunately, it is too difficult to read. The language is so concise that often one word requires a long paragraph of vernacular text to explain. It took Su Ren three days to read it to figure out the meaning of each word. (To be continued.)
