Li Shenfu seemed to feel that something was wrong. He frowned and gritted his teeth, and said hesitantly: "This move is too immoral. I am afraid that I will be criticized and reviled by the people in the world. There is something wrong with it."
Li Daoli patted his chest and said: "Uncle Wang Quan just didn't know it. I will bear all the consequences alone! That guy Fang Jun is cunning, cruel and cruel, so I should do whatever I can to him. Otherwise, if I repay evil with kindness, how can I repay him with kindness?" Virtue? We should retaliate directly!”
The kidnapping of Princess Changle and her children was indeed very despicable, but how could Li Daoli control so much? This time he was blackmailed by Fang Jun for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The savings of two generations of the Dongping County Prince's Palace were wiped out, and he was even saddled with huge debts. If he couldn't get the money back from Fang Jun, how would he face his children and grandchildren, and how would he face his death? To my father and uncle?
Seeing that Li Shenfu was still hesitating, he whispered: "If big things can be accomplished, what does this mean? Who dares to talk too much?"
Li Shenfu was finally persuaded by him, but he was still worried: "I don't know about this matter, you can handle it yourself."
Li Daoli secretly scolded the old thief for being shameless, asking me to step forward and be ridiculed and criticized by the world. You are waiting behind the scenes to get the money and then not get involved?
However, as the leader of the clan, Li Shenfu has a lot of plans at the moment. No matter what he does, as long as he gets his support, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, once the big things everyone has planned for come true, no amount of money can match them, so they can only tolerate it for the time being.
Li Shenfu was also very keen on Fang Jun's family property. After thinking about it, he said: "Not only are you extorting Fang Er's money to make up for the previous shortfall, but when the big thing is accomplished, you will come forward to impeach the Fang family and his son for various crimes. You have to save some money for the future.”
Li Daoli is not afraid of offending others. As long as that thing is done, neither Fang Jun nor Fang Xuanling has any authority at all. If they are allowed to do whatever they want, how can they dare to resist at all?
Thinking about the family fortune that Fang Jun has accumulated over the years, Li Daoli almost drooled...
The two had been plotting for a long time, and after finishing the pot of tea, Li Daoli finally asked: "Now that Hedong, Henan and other places are at war with each other, and the Hedong family was forced to take over the salt pond by Fang Jun, how can they let it go? The stalemate must still continue, but I don't know if it will happen." Take drastic measures and die together with Fang Jun.”
What they hope most now is to fish in troubled waters. The more turbulent the situation, the better for them. However, because of the defeat of King Jin, the Hedong family suffered heavy losses and were wary of the clan, so they could not get involved.
But she very much hopes that the Hedong Family can be tougher and have a tough fight with Fang Jun.
Li Shenfu shook his head and sighed: "Judging from the current situation, the Hedong family may not have the courage."
Li Daoli moved forward and whispered: "Then shall we give it a push?"
Fang Jun's move was equivalent to cutting off the foundation for the survival of the family. All the families in the world looked at him angrily. However, they did not dare to act rashly for the time being due to various constraints and fears. However, if someone pushed him at this time, the raging anger would most likely be instantaneous. It becomes a prairie fire.
Li Shenfu said solemnly: "It's not yet time, don't act recklessly. If chaos breaks out now and you can't control the situation, it will do more harm than good. You should calm down and wait."
Li Daoli said anxiously: "Wait, wait, wait, when do we have to wait? Every day that passes, Li Chengqian's throne becomes more secure. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid he will never have a chance!"
"That has to wait!"
Li Shenfu glared angrily: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is unified and the four seas are unified, it is not the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty. It is impossible to give us a chance to compete in the world! When Changsun Wuji and the King of Jin raised armies twice, Li Chengqian's foundation was not stable, and the rebel army was strong. The momentum is sweeping, but in the end, it will be defeated and killed? That road will not work! ”
Fighting for the throne is not just a mutiny. As long as you endure it and find opportunities from the inside out, from top to bottom, the chance of success is higher than rebelling.
All you have to do is wait.
He was still able to wait patiently even though he was seventy and eighty years old. Why couldn't Li Daoli, who was still young and powerful, not be able to wait?
This incompetent and impatient fool.
Li Daoli said disapprovingly: "What's the use of calculating? I've never heard of any major event being calculated."
Which major event in the past and present was planned? The more careful you are in planning and strategizing, the easier it is for unplanned changes to occur. Exquisite plans are always thwarted by sudden accidents. On the contrary, it is those who burn everything under passion and are more likely to accomplish great things.
To put it bluntly, success or failure has little to do with planning. The key lies in "trend". When the general trend is the trend, you can still succeed even if you lack planning. On the contrary, if you calculate everything carefully and carefully, you will still fail.
The location of "power" cannot be seen or touched. Only by practicing it can we know whether "the power is mine".
If Emperor Gaozu had been strategizing and plotting against tens of millions of people, how could he dare to raise troops in Jinyang to conquer the world?
If Emperor Taizong had arranged his troops and plotted against us and the enemy, how could he have hastily launched a coup at Xuanwu Gate?
All in all, things are done, not calculated...
Li Shenfu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He wished he could smash the tea cup on Li Daoli's head and cursed: "Fart! As kings of the county, we are of Taizu's blood and share the same country. We are either sure or desperate. Otherwise, why take the risk?" What a risk? It’s not that I’m doing something big but I don’t need to take that risk! You’re so greedy for success and so restless and shallow, you’ll miss the big thing sooner or later and harm everyone!”
Li Daoli was startled and quickly assured: "Uncle, please calm down. I am just talking. Uncle, whatever you say will be whatever you say. My nephew will follow your lead."
Older people are inevitably rotten and dim, and the longer they live, the less courageous they become, but Li Shenfu's identity, seniority, and prestige are enough to become the leader of the clan and compete with Li Daozong. Without him to stand up and take charge of the overall situation, others would not be able to achieve anything. .
Seeing his expression, Li Shenfu knew that he was dissatisfied, so he warned: "Don't try to be smart. If God shows mercy, he will give us a chance. Otherwise, just stay dormant and endure it honestly, and be a loyal minister and obedient citizen. Don't do it." It will poison the descendants and cause endless harm.”
"Here."
*****
The long motorcade came out of the ancient road and arrived outside Luoyang City along the Luoshui River. Hundreds of knights who had been waiting here dismounted and knelt down to greet them.
The leader, Wang Xuance, bowed forward and came to one of the carriages. He bowed his arms to the ground and said respectfully: "I, Wang Xuance, have been waiting for Madam Wu for a long time."
A snow-white and slender bare hand lifted the car curtain, revealing a bright, beautiful and charming face. The beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes were looking at Shen Fei. She did not feel tired or tired from the long journey. She smiled and said: "My family, why do you need to be so polite?" ?”
Wang Xuance said: "I have been deeply favored by Duke Jian of the State of Yue. I regard myself as a retainer and dare not arrogate even half a cent."
Wu Meiniang said softly: "You are also a child of an aristocratic family, with outstanding talents and hard work. Erlang has always had high hopes for you, and now he has recommended you to serve as the chief minister of the Youjinwu Guards. How have you ever been treated as a retainer? Straighten your back and take the Show courage, do great things diligently, make a career for yourself, and earn a share of love for your wife and children, then you will be worthy of the world. ”
"I will obey Lady Wu's instructions!"
Wang Xuance's heart was agitated. Instead of restraining his etiquette, he knelt down on one knee and greeted each other with the courtesy of a retainer and servant.
"Okay, it's windy in the wilderness. Have you arranged your accommodation?"
"The company has purchased shops and houses facing the street in Cihuifang for its main office. I have ordered people to tidy up the new buildings. Lady Wu can move in immediately."
"Then let's enter the city. The carriages and horses are tired and we are really tired."
"Here!"
Wang Xuance stood up, walked quickly to the roadside, got on his horse, and led a convoy of more than a hundred riders, surrounded by Wu Meiniang, into the city and headed straight for Cihuifang.
Cihuifang is located in the north of Nanshi, separated from Nanshi by Tonglifang, and adjacent to Luoshui. The navy troops stationed outside Shangshanfang can quickly support along Luoshui, plus the guards of the business and Wu Meiniang The defense force of the family soldiers around him is extremely strong.
The store is located on the north side of Cihui Square. A three-story building with a width of five rooms is opened along the wall of the square. Across the street is the rippling Luoshui River. Navy warships can cruise on it and can quickly land for support. You can board a boat from here and go down the river to evacuate Luoyang. In terms of safety, you can advance and retreat without risking anything.
After Wu Meiniang got off the bus, she inspected for a week and was very satisfied. Then she moved into the house in the backyard of the business. She asked the accompanying servants to place all the food and clothing they brought, boiled hot water, and washed them happily. A bath.
The hot water steamed the already frosty skin, making it whiter and rosier, making the charming face even more hydrated and beautiful. I felt pity for it, and put on the pink and white bamboo leaf pattern. The skirt is tied with a ribbon around the waist, which makes it look more plump. The light-colored jacket on the upper body is graceful and gorgeous.
He put on his embroidered shoes barefoot and sat in front of the window. He took a slow sip of tea and asked, "Where is Wang Xuance?"
The maid replied: "We are waiting in the hall."
Wu Meiniang said "hmm", put down her tea cup, and with the maid serving her, she left the house, walked through the courtyard lined with flowers and trees, and came to the main hall.
Wang Xuance, who was sitting on the chair, stood up in a hurry to greet him, lowered his head and did not dare to look around.
The aroma of orchid and musk came to my nose, I watched the train of the pink and white skirt passing in front of me like the wind moving lotus leaves, and I heard a soft voice in my ears: "Sit down, always. So polite.”
"Here."
Wang Xuance waited for Wu Meiniang to sit on the table, then turned around and sat upright, looking at his nose, his nose and his heart, not even daring to look around with the end of his eyes, he was extremely respectful.
"What's the situation over at Yanchi in Hedong?"
"Captain Su personally led his troops to Yanchi and took over the force. Erlang then brought Liu, Dai, and Zhang, as well as dozens of judicial officials, to Yanchi to check the account books, recover deficits, and interrogate corruption. Everything was under control."< br>
"Well, that's good."
After asking a few questions about the Hedong Yanchi, Wu Meiniang put it aside. He was convinced that Fang Jun would have a plan as long as he dared to do it, and she didn't need to worry too much.
"I heard that the company's performance in Linyi has not been good recently, especially the rice purchase has been boycotted by the local nobles. What's going on? The navy is stationed in Da Nang and Song Binh. How can we let the locals unite to boycott the company? Either use money and silk to win over them for my use, or send troops to destroy them. No matter what, the rice supply in Linyi cannot be lost at all. "
"Here, I'm going to dismount Song Ping's garrison, ordering him to cooperate with the company's acquisitions in the area to ensure that the rice procurement is foolproof." Wang Xuance was sweating a little. This charming and beautiful lady was indeed as powerful as a man as rumored, so she spoke If a war breaks out, the people of Annan and Linyi will probably suffer...
