Chapter 581 Outside Tai Chi Palace
On the first day of February, there will be a great meeting.
Before dawn, ministers arrived one after another outside Chengtian Gate.
Due to different factors such as civil and military affairs, closeness, affiliation, etc., the ministers were divided into small circles in small groups, chatting outside the closed palace door, waiting for the court meeting to begin.
Changsun Wuji was short and fat, wearing a purple court dress. He stood closest to the palace gate with his hands behind his back, chatting with Xiao Yu in front of him.
Xiao Yu is slightly taller and much thinner than Changsun Wuji. His appearance is instantly better than the latter's. He looks dignified and has a great temperament. He doesn't have the aging look of a sixty-year-old man, and his smile is as gentle as jade.
"It is said that Xuan Ling suffered from the cold and will not come today." Changsun Wuji glanced around with his slender eyes and whispered when he saw that he was surrounded by his own people.
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "That's worrying. At our age, we usually seem to be in good spirits, but often an inconspicuous illness strikes, and half our lives have to be lost."< br>
Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes. This expression made his eyes look smaller, but the light in his eyes suddenly appeared. He didn't quite understand. Was Xiao Yu really worried about Fang Xuanling or was he gloating about his misfortune? They all say that he is an old fox, but Xiao Yu, who seems to have thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, is also very cunning.
He couldn't figure out Xiao Yu's routine, and the protagonist of today's court meeting was not his eldest grandson Wuji, so he fell silent and said nothing more.
Xiao Yu had a gentle smile on his face, but he was a little confused in his heart.
What does this sinister person mean when he talks about Fang Xuanling? Could it be that she learned that Fang Xuanling took some measures to support her son? But this has nothing to do with Changsun Wuji. He can stay out of it, so why should he care so much?
Could it be that... there are Changsun Wuji's hands and feet behind this trend?
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He thought that although he was the initiator of this impeachment trend, things had developed beyond his control. There must be another force behind this to make waves and push himself to the forefront. However, this force Hiding behind, I don’t know what I’m planning.
Xiao Yu glanced at Changsun Wuji's round face uneasily. Could it be that he was doing something behind his back?
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yu weighed the pros and cons in his mind and made a quick decision.
"The auspicious snow heralds a good year. Not only does it snow in Guanzhong, but it also rarely snows twice after the Chinese New Year in Jiangnan. It seems that this year is another good year. Farmers' demand for farm tools is bound to rise sharply, relying on several small iron factories in Jiangnan , but it cannot meet the sharply increasing demand. The iron factory of the Changsun family has the best quality and the largest output in Datang. I wonder if Auxiliary Machinery is interested in joining forces with several iron factories in Jiangnan to supply pig iron? "
< br>
Xiao Yu directly threw out the benefits.
Almost all the iron factories in Jiangnan were in the hands of a few major noble families, which not only monopolized the demand for pig iron in Jiangnan, but even sold small quantities to Goguryeo and Japan. The Jiangnan gentry were extremely xenophobic, and even Changsun Wuji could not get involved in such a hugely profitable industry.
Now, it is equivalent to giving this huge profit to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched. Although he was very excited about this condition, he still felt that there was something in Xiao Yu's words. Best quality? Maximum output? That was before! Ever since the Fangjia Iron Factory was improved by Fang Jun, the Changsun family's business has plummeted! The quality is completely incomparable. As for the output, it is because he holds the ore from several major iron mines in Guanzhong that he can maintain these slight advantages. Otherwise, he would have been crushed by Fangjia Iron Factory in all aspects.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I couldn't help but eat the fruit when I put it to my mouth.
Changsun Wuji's round face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and he said happily: "Thank you so much for taking care of Song Guogong, I'm disrespectful! You have to be kind in doing business. If Song Guogong has any difficulties in the future, just ask, I will give you my full support, and there will be no problem." Two words.”
If you gain something, you have to lose something. If you want something, you have to pay.
Xiao Yu opened his mouth and gave such a big sweetheart. If his eldest son Wuji didn't express his gratitude during the court meeting, wouldn't he be dishonest?
Xiao Yu chuckled: "The auxiliary machine is indeed an open-minded person."
But my heart is bleeding.
Mother! All of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of money were thrown away to feed the dogs every year, which made him feel extremely distressed. However, he vaguely guessed that Changsun Wuji must have done something in this impeachment trend. If he was reluctant to part with this money, let alone get Changsun Wuji's. Support, it would be good if you don’t get tricked by this sinister man!
Xiao Yu had a cooperative smile on his face, but he was extremely depressed in his heart. When did this sinister person discover his purpose?
The two of them were chatting and laughing softly about the mutual benefits exchanged due to the temporary alliance, and the originally noisy scene in front of the palace gate suddenly fell silent. The two of them looked up in surprise, only to realize that at some point, Fang Jun, dressed in a crimson official robe, had arrived in front of the palace gate.
As the most famous person since the beginning of the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Jun had a smile on his face, without the slightest fear or embarrassment of being at the forefront of the news and everyone shouting and beating him. He walked lightly, had a gentle demeanor, and was full of spring breeze.
He walked leisurely, and when passing several seventh-rank officials, he stopped, with a smile on his dark face, and greeted one of them with a smile: "Are you the Supervisory Censor Wang Wenlong?"
The official was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right. I wonder what Brother Fang has to say?"
Fang Jun looked Wang Wenlong up and down, smiled, and showed his white teeth: "Don't take it seriously. I heard that you impeached Fang? Well, that's good. When the court has free time, we can get close together."
The smile was bright and the words were kind, but the official named Wang Wenlong suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He squinted his eyes, as if he felt that the white teeth of the man in front of him would pounce at any time and bite him. Throat...
It's almost terrifying to be stared at by a venomous snake and beast!
Wang Wenlong swallowed subconsciously and said with a guilty conscience: "This... it's not necessary, we are too familiar..."
Who doesn't know that this kid in front of him has a bad temper? If you write a letter to impeach him, you will be stoking a grudge. Now that he is being targeted, how can you let it go? What if this guy loses his temper and wants to take it out on himself...
Wang Wenlong shivered with excitement and complained in his heart.
Brother, it’s not that someone wants to have trouble with you. In fact, that’s what the boss of someone ordered. What can we do?
Fang Jun was still smiling, and reached out to pat Wang Wenlong on the shoulder. This guy trembled with fright, and then he said with emotion: "That's wrong. It's hard for you to pay so much attention to Fang and spend so much effort to collect information from Fang." mistakes, and correct them selflessly to avoid mistakes. I have gone further and further down the wrong path, but my deep love and kindness are so profound that I am moved beyond measure. You, my friend, are my friend. I will never be able to repay this kindness in my lifetime...Brother Wang, you don’t have to. Be humble, Fang will recognize you for the rest of his life!”
Wang Wenlong's face turned pale, his lips trembled twice, and he almost cried.
Have you recognized us in this life?
Finished...
He is not a fool. He knows that even if this impeachment is a complete victory, he cannot avoid the fact that Fang Jun is about to become the prince-in-law. Behind him is the great god Fang Xuanling. Fang Jun will still be someone he looks up to in the future. If this guy is thinking about this, how can I live my life?
An official next to Wang Wenlong couldn't see it anymore, and spoke uprightly and shouted at Fang Jun: "As the prime minister, your Excellency keeps threatening the officials of the dynasty. Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of the Prime Minister and making the world laugh?"
As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding area became quieter and quieter. All the officials looked at this "righteous and upright" official like a fool. Writing a letter of impeachment is a means of struggle. No one has anything to say for their own interests. It is unlucky for you to be targeted by Fang Jun. But talking to Fang Jun like this, and involving Fang Xuanling, do you really think that this little white rabbit in front of you is a harmless little white rabbit?
Almost everyone observed a moment of silence for this official...
The smile on Fang Jun's face disappeared and he walked towards the official. When he got in front of this man, he still didn't stop until he was forced to take three or four steps back, then he glared at him coldly: "Say it again."
A strong and dangerous aura surrounded the official. (End of chapter)
