Li Baiyu's personal eunuch Zeng Hai slowly walked to Li Baiyu's side: "Your Majesty, according to the spies' report, several princes chatted and laughed with Duke Ding for a while."
"We don't know what they are talking about specifically. After all, the school grounds are too empty for spies to get close to them."
Li Baiyu paused with the ink pen in his hand and glanced at Zeng Hai with raised eyebrows.
"Oh? What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, do you want us to send a message to Duke Dingguo to come to the imperial study? After all, these princes are no longer ordinary princes, but vassal princes with heavy troops."
"What we mean is that Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, do you want to beat Duke Ding? After all, it is not a good thing for Your Majesty that the auxiliary minister is too close to the feudal king!"
Li Baiyu put down the ink pen in his hand and looked at Zeng Hai with squinted eyes: "Zeng Hai!"
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
"Your ancestor has won the trust of the emperor. Do you know why?"
Zeng Hai was stunned and shook his head in confusion: "Your Majesty, we are confused, how can we reach the level of our ancestors? We have only just sat in the position of the general manager for less than half a day."
Li Baiyu picked up the tea cup and tasted it briefly, looking at Zeng Hai with a faint look: "Because your ancestors would never sow discord in front of the father and speak ill of any important minister."
"The harem and the eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. You have been by my side since you were a child, and you should do your job well. I don't want your head to be taken off by me myself one day!"
"Because you have been with me for so many years, I will spare you this time. If you dare to speak out again next time, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship for many years!"
Zeng Hai plopped down on the ground in fear: "We know we were wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Baiyu slowly put down the teacup in his hand and walked towards the corner of the imperial study room.
Li Zheng's portrait hangs high on the wall, and there are tributes and three pillars of incense placed on the table under the portrait.
"When my brother-in-law marries my sister, he becomes a foreign relative. It is not uncommon for foreign relatives to cause chaos in the country throughout the ages."
"My father knew this, and not only did he let his brother-in-law serve as a powerful minister, he also allowed me to make good use of it. He told me not to use the people I doubt, but not to doubt the people I employ."
"As a relative and an important minister, my father can rest assured. I will never doubt my father's arrangements, so I can naturally rest assured."
"You witnessed what happened in the court today with your own eyes. My brother-in-law was the first person to stand up and support me as emperor."
"If I have doubts about someone who supports me, it means I am narrow-minded."
"My father has said more than once that suspicion between the emperor and his ministers is the biggest taboo between them."
"So I don't want to hear from you for the second time that you spoke ill of your brother-in-law. Otherwise, if you hold the position of chief eunuch, others can do the same."
"Yes, we understand, I promise there won't be a next time!"
"The surveillance on the second, third, fourth, fifth, and seventh brothers can be a little more intense. Aren't they unwilling to accept my ascending to the throne?"
"In this case, I will play with them and let them fully understand that I did not get the throne because of the rule of establishing the elder rather than the young, but I got it through my true ability!"
Zeng Hai looked at Li Baiyu blankly: "Your Majesty, let me be brave. If you get out of control, you will be in trouble. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and people's hearts are unstable. I suggest that your Majesty stabilize the court before doing this."
"What you see on paper is shallow, but you know that you have to put it into practice. The way to be a king is not to be learned, but to be understood. If something goes wrong, my brother-in-law and the five of them will naturally come out to clean up the mess."
"Otherwise, the five auxiliary ministers would have come in vain."
"It is always better to take the initiative than to be passive."
"We understand, whatever your Majesty says, we will listen to your Majesty!"
Zeng Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, his understanding of Young Master Liu deepened in his heart, and he regretted not listening to his ancestor's instructions.
It seems that although I have become the general manager of the palace, I should still apologize when I face Duke Ding in the future.
You can’t be offended!
"Xuan Di Li Cheng meets His Majesty!"
Li Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the man in gray robe who suddenly fell and walked over: "Senior, no courtesy, please get up and sit down quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Baiyu sat on the dragon chair and looked at the gray-robed man sitting opposite him with confusion: "Senior, you are all old men who have served my father for decades. You never show up easily unless there is something important."
"Did something big happen when you came here this time?"
The man in gray robe nodded slightly: "This time I came to the palace to sell a secret document, and I came to pay homage to the new king!"
"I don't know what kind of secret file it is that makes the old man come in person. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"The spy's secret vault, Tianzi's second secret file."
"Tianzi number two!"
Li Baiyu pondered for a moment and Mu Ran looked up at the gray-robed man: "That is the secret file of Mr. Wen Renzheng, my father's mentor. Senior came to sell the file. Could it be that Mr. Wen Ren has also passed away?"
The gray-robed man's eyes showed some doubts, and finally he nodded slowly: "After Wen Renzheng came out of Dingguo's palace, all his internal strength was lost. It seems that the old injury recurred and caused the strength to dissipate."
"In the end, he disappeared without a trace. The spy agents spread all over the world like cobwebs, but there was no trace of the old man again. After the consensus of ten of us old guys, maybe we didn't know it."
"The old man had many enemies when he was young, and since he has already run out of fuel, it's time to sell out!"
Li Baiyu nodded silently: "Since the seniors have already decided, I won't say anything more. My father told me that the Secret Library of Spy Shadows will always listen to orders rather than announcements, but can act independently! I will definitely respect the wishes of all seniors.
!”
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
"Senior, I would like to ask out of curiosity, who is the number one person in the world? Who are the others?"
"I have heard Father mention this number two from time to time, so if it's not convenient for seniors to say it, forget it."
"The spirit is Li Buyi. His kung fu is unknown. He is good at divination. He is good at divination and will live a long time!"
"Second news of human affairs!"
"The Third East China Sea is full of nonsense, but with the help of Tiangang, there are few opponents in the world!"
"The Fourth Great Compassion Zen Forest Master Baishan, the master whose skills are immutable and the Mingwang Seal is immutable, and the people who learn the scriptures are mortal!"
"Abbott of Huguo Temple of the Fifth Jin Kingdom!"
"Head of the Sixth Sword Yahai!"
"The Seventh Turkic State Division."
""
"Tenth is the spy Li Huai."
"Mrs. Jade Butterfly Bai Bing, the wife of the Liu family with a local name, is half a step innate, and can be the number one with the local name. The reason is that her husband Liu Zhi'an, the richest man in the world in Jiangnan, is the reason."
"That is Duke Dingguo's mother."
Li Baiyu looked at the man in gray robe curiously: "The richest man in the world? Is it too exaggerated? I heard that Liu Zhi'an is so rich that he can rival the country. Is it true?"
"Does Your Majesty know about the military disaster in Weihe?"
"Of course I know!"
"His Majesty was still a prince at that time and could not take charge of the national treasury. The late emperor borrowed the food and grass money from him for the 300,000-strong army to go north. Very few people knew about this."
"No one knows what agreement Liu Zhi'an reached with the late emperor." Mobile version::
Li Baiyu looked at the gray-robed man in surprise: "Raising soldiers for the country?"
"Your Majesty, the late Emperor also had your thoughts back then, and Liu Zhi'an can't move!"
"Why? I can already raise troops for the country. How can this keep me from panicking!"
"The late Emperor has calculated that if anything happens to Liu Zhi'an, half of the merchants in Dalong will be in trouble."
"Although merchants have a low status, once they have too much money, no one can ignore it. Something happens to Liu Zhi'an, business travel is blocked, people have no food to buy, and half of Dalong's country will be in panic!"
"No matter how much money Liu Zhi'an has, the Liu Mansion is not an iron wall! As long as Liu Zhi'an is captured, won't everything be a problem?"
The man in gray robe smiled bitterly: "Liu Ye, even Spy Shadow has to rely on him sometimes!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as you can make good use of Liu Zhi'an like Your Majesty, you will be fine!"
"As long as you marry Yun Xiaoxi and become the queen, Liu Ying, the young lady of the Yun family, will be Liu Zhi'an's sister. They are connected through root and branch, and the Liu family will be friends."
"I can't get involved in matters above the court, but I think the reason why the late emperor valued Duke Ding so much may not be because of Liu Zhi'an."
"Liu Zhi'an's power must be weakened, but how to weaken it can only depend on opportunity. Your Majesty must not do it by force."
"The Liu family is stronger than Liu Zhian."
"Dingguo Gong established his own business. The other two brothers, one is still young, and the other is just like that."
"In a hundred years from Liu Zhi'an, perhaps the Liu family's reputation as the richest man in the world will be destroyed."
"I understand, senior, if you don't have anything to do, just go and get busy first!"
