In the brothel between Shuiyun, Xue Chongxun and Zhang Shuo were alone in the name of having fun. Xue Chongxun took the opportunity to remind Zhang Shuo to say something. He tried hard to promote Zhang Shuo to become the Zhongshu Ling, and his power was above the other prime ministers. Of course, it was not just because of his friendship with Zhang Shuo or appreciation of his talents. From the day he promoted Zhang Shuo, Xue Chongxun and his staff group had formed a complete set of arrangements.

It was noon after the two of them talked about it, so they ordered some wine and food to have a meal between Shuiyun. After lunch, they drank some tea and prepared to leave.

Xue Chongxun just walked to the door of the house and turned to Meng Xiaoyu who was saying goodbye: "A few months ago, I bought some new slaves in the mansion. The women from the criminal family were still good at appearance and were useless. If you are willing, you can go to our mansion to teach them singing and dancing instruments. When there is a banquet for guests in the future, they can also make them sing and dancing to entertain them."

Suddenly, there was no warning in advance when he asked for an invitation. Meng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and pondered: "Mom may not be willing to leave me..."

Xue Chongxun said, "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you are willing, I will send someone to talk to Du Jie'er about other things. But you don't have to force it. If you feel happy in the water and clouds, I won't force it. Think about it first, think about it and go to the Jin Palace to tell Xue Liu."

"Xue Lang... Are you going to buy me?" Meng Xiaoyu showed a reluctant smile.

Xue Chongxun nodded and admitted, and she said, "How long can I buy it and who will I sell it to in the future?"

Xue Chongxun was stunned, waved to Meng Xiaoyu to come over, and whispered in her ear: "Forever."

Meng Xiaoyu immediately started to laugh, laughing so hard that she leaned back and forth, almost burst into tears. Zhang Shuo, who was standing beside her, also looked curious, wondering what word Xue Chongxun said could achieve such an effect.

Meng Xiaoyu said a little angry: "Xue Lang is really good at joking."

Xue Chongxun said to Zhang without expression, "Please, Mr. Zhang." Then he clasped his fists to Meng Xiaoyu and said goodbye.

Sister Du personally sent them to the gate, watched them go away before turning back. When she came back to the pavilion, she saw that there was a sign hanging on Meng Xiaoyu's room, so she took the wooden sign off. Hearing the sound of Yun Niang next door, Sister Du shouted: "In broad daylight, you all drink the northwest wind!"

Yunniang said in her voice: "It's just so long, I'll be over immediately."

When Sister Du left and was busy with other things, Yunniang inside excitedly said to Meng Xiaoyu again: "I really envy my sister, I'm climbing up the high branch."

Meng Xiaoyu sighed, "What are you climbing? Where is the same? He wants to buy me in the past just to teach the singers in their house. He is not singing, dancing, and dancing, but we can only do this."

"What do people do to people? We are sisters to remind you kindly, don't think it's unpleasant... If their family sells you again in two years, my sister will not be as valuable as she is now. If that's the case, it's better to stay in Shuiyun. Sister Meng is very popular. She will definitely save some money to buy a property while she's young, and she will have a way to eat and clothing in the future."

Meng Xiaoyu remembered that they were talking about national affairs in this room first, and Prime Minister Zhang looked worried and saw it. It was a more important thing. At this time, Meng Xiaoyu's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "It's okay to people."

Yunniang smiled and said, "Then my sister wants to congratulate you. In fact, it's a good thing. Although she is still a slave, she has a stable support, right? You didn't see that the slaves on the North Street rely on their power and are so powerful. If my sister makes a fortune in the future, don't forget us sisters, hum, let others dare not bully us!"

The little lady talked a lot and kept chattering, then said, "Sister also needs to think a lot. Don't be deceived like last time. There are not many good things for the man... Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention that, aren't you angry?"

Meng Xiaoyu shook her head and said sadly: "It's been so long since I've been angry? But I can't blame others. I just blame me for not being very sensible in the past. In this fireworks place, we are women of all kinds, and we just act like a show. What's the point of other things?"

"Oh, sister, don't be too despised yourself. Haven't you heard those men say that the little lady in Shuiyunjian is more understanding than the wife at home?"

Meng Xiaoyu smiled and refused to comment. At this time, Yunniang said, "I have to go through it, and we will talk to you if I have time."

After Xue Chongxun returned to the mansion, he summoned Wang Changling and Yu Wenxiao to discuss matters. Both of them were on duty in the prince's kingdom west of the mansion, and it was not too far to go to the mansion. Xue Chongxun was drinking tea in the cottage by the lake of "Tingyu Lake" in the inner mansion.

They were among Xue Chongxun's most confidant subordinates, otherwise they would not have had the chance to come to the inner house. Wang Changling also sat at the same table with Xue Chongxun's inner family and had dinner. They were all very familiar and reliable people. When the two came to the cottage, Xue Chongxun told them about the conversation they had spoken to Zhang in the morning so that they could understand the movements in the morning as soon as possible.

Yu Wenxiao, who is forty or fifty years old, has wrinkles and gullies on his face, dark and rough skin, and looks like he has experienced many vicissitudes of life. He should have been caused by years of running around, but his skin is excellent for giving birth to a daughter. Yu Wenxiao frowned and said, "Xue Lang talks about this matter in that kind of place, and I wonder if Zhang Shuo can understand it."

Wang Changling took over the conversation and said, "Gong Gong Zhang is not stupid. Didn't Xue Lang mention that he wanted to transfer the Shen Ce Army to Beijing to garrison? He would definitely understand immediately."

Wang Changling sat next to Yu Wenxiao. He was not yet twenty years old. When compared with Yu Wenxiao's old face, he immediately looked thin and tender.

Xue Chongxun nodded: "Zhang Shuo will definitely understand, so there is no need to worry about this. I will promote him and he should know what to do in the position of exclusive law. What I am thinking about now is whether Zhang Shuo is willing to do it?"

Wang Changling lowered his head and pondered: "Zhang Xianggong has been a prime minister for many years, and his reputation has not been low. Such people care more about reputation, and it is not known whether they are willing to be criticized by the gentry."

"This is something I cannot completely determine, so I have thought about supporting Liu An to the top before, but Liu An was not qualified enough. He was suddenly pushed to the position of exclusive character and was unable to convince the public, and the traces were more obvious. After thinking about it, I still felt that Zhang Shuo was the most suitable candidate." Xue Chongxun said.

At this moment, Yuwen Xiao suddenly said confidently: "I dare to conclude that Zhang said he would definitely be willing to be the prime minister."

Wang Changling and Xue Chongxun asked at the same time: "Why?"

Yuwen Xiao smiled and said, "Young uncle has read scriptures and is not as good as my strategy, but he is still quite accurate in his view. Zhang said that this person has not had a close relationship with me, but when I was in Jingzhao Prefecture, he has a very high opinion of himself. A person who believes that he understands all the ways of governing the country and military, is definitely unwilling to accept it if he doesn't want to do something. Now he has the opportunity to take charge of the overall situation by himself, so he will definitely not let it go easily!"

Wang Changling nodded while listening, "There is some reason." Xue Chongxun also nodded, "Duke Yuwen said this, it seems that this is the case. Several years ago, Zhang said that seeing the increasingly corrupt military system of the government, he was determined to propose the law of official health. Now, he went back to verify that his claim did not help his own interests and career, and he was just trying to do big things."

Yuwen Xiao said again: "Empress Gao is in the palace, and only Xue Lang personally went there to win over. After living some days, you can see the movements in the court. As long as this matter is done, the general situation will be achieved in Chang'an and even the whole world."

At this time, Wang Changling suddenly said in a deep voice: "I don't know if there is something I should say or not."

Xue Chongxun said: "It's all my own people, so what's wrong with saying it?"

"Okay, I'll dare to find out the joints in this place and ask Xue Lang." Wang Changling sat upright, and his cautious look made the other two look straight.

While thinking, he said slowly: "We have been fighting for power in recent years. If this continues, we will achieve a *** situation. Wang asked boldly, what does Xue Lang mean? It is time to set a goal, otherwise everyone will be reluctant to figure out what it can do or not. Please forgive Wang for saying it bluntly."

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun remained silent, while Yu Wenxiao looked at him with anticipation, as if expecting Xue Chongxun to say: I want to change the dynasty and become the emperor by myself.

If it weren't for Wang Changling's question, Xue Chongxun himself was avoiding this question, and he always had a goal in doing things. What was his own goal? Is he going to be the emperor?

In fact, in Xue Chongxun's view, even in this era when the imperial system was widely recognized, it would be very difficult to climb to that position if the prince had not justified the throne. From the perspective of personal gains and losses, bureaucrats and powerful people were simply a loss-making business: the risk outweighed the benefits.

Most people who have such plans are ambitious people, not only want to ascend to the highest position, but also their descendants and the incense of generations. Of course, if possible, even ambitions to immortalize themselves, Qin Shihuang's ambitions will expand to that point.

But Xue Chongxun asked himself that he didn't have that big ambition. He just wanted to live well safely. In his opinion, living while living is more important than reputation after death. If he had to sacrifice everything in life to pursue a risky ambition, he was really not ready... This is also because he often believed that he was not qualified to become an emperor. In addition to power, he cared about too much.

And if you really have such ambitions, you shouldn't talk directly in front of your staff. You can't say such things, you can only let others guess. So Xue Chongxun pretended to be relaxed without hesitation: "Young uncle doesn't have to think too much. Now we hold the national handle. The most important thing is to maintain peace and avoid war and save people from the suffering of ***. Then everyone plans things together, so that their families around you can have a good life, right?"

Wang Changling bowed with fists and said nothing. Yuwen Xiao looked at Xue Chongxun and saw that he was looking up at the sun that was on the west side, and his eyes seemed to be far away...
