Four hundred and forty-eight chapters, the son of the prince (the last time to ask for this month)

Jin Wanwan signaled his son-in-law with his eyes again, trying to get his son-in-law to make an idea. In fact, how could Jin Wanwan be an inexperienced person? He was not afraid of facing Uncle Qian, but he was also very self-aware and knew that he understood palace politics.

It was not deep, so I quickly moved my son-in-law here.

This is not like "asking for reinforcements" as Qian Guojiu said, but I don't know how credible Qian Guojiu's nonsense is, and he wants Li You to help analyze the situation and make up his mind.

Faced with the look in his father-in-law's eyes, Li You didn't say anything immediately. He had a better and better habit of thinking carefully as long as he had enough time and it wasn't a time of urgent reaction. Most qualified officials were like this.

Although Qian An and Qian Guojiu have no power, they are still powerful brothers of the Queen Mother Qian for the time being. It is always wise to be cautious. There is only one central question this time, is Qian An really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

This man has a bad character, and he is keen on his brother's title, but has been pursuing it for many years to no avail. He is also a factor of instability in anyone's eyes. Last time, his son did something stupid like instigating the supervisor to kowtow to ask the emperor to rule personally, and even caused trouble.

When she arrived at the court, Queen Mother Qian was very passive.

Therefore, as long as the Queen Mother Qian is not a fool, she will definitely be alienated from her second brother. This alienation does not mean that she has cut off family ties emotionally, but is the most basic sense of self-protection for a rational political figure. To use an analogy, who wants to be with her brother?

A time bomb approaching?

All the 50,000 nests transferred by Jin Wanwan were handed over to Qian Tai, Marquis of Xinning. Qian An didn't get any of it. From this, we can see some clues.

According to Li You's analysis, given the empress dowager Qian's character of attaching importance to her natal family, it is estimated that the family relationship between her and Qian An is still there, but Qian An will most likely be excluded from some sensitive matters. For example, Jin Wanwan's identity change, business operations

Conversion and acquittal, Qian Anzhen may not know the inside story.

Also, Empress Dowager Qian worked hard to plan for the Chief of Ceremonies and the nobles to discuss politics, but Qian An did not stay in Beijing. This is even more obvious.

Assuming that Qian An is really stupid, it seems reasonable to argue from Princess Guide.

Judging from Qian Guoshu's tone, he probably only thought that Jin Wanwan bribed Wu Guang'en, who was around Guide Chitose, and then used Eunuch Wu to persuade His Highness Chitose to do things. This weight is very limited.

Little did they know that the matter of Concubine Jin Xian and Jin Wanwan was personally promoted by Li You and Princess Guide from the beginning to the end. However, due to the noble status of Princess Guide, she would not jump out to the front desk to do things in person. Probably because of this

This gave Uncle Qian Guo the illusion that you were relying on Wu Guangen to do things.

Princess Guide planned the royal salt affairs and negotiated with her mother to launder millions of platinum gold. Of course, she did it more secretly and would not let outsiders like Qian An know.

Analyzing from various angles, Li You felt more and more that Qian Guojiu was really stupid.

In the palaces of the Ming Dynasty, most of the concubines who came from the draft were actually very pitiful. Unless they were favored by the emperor, they had almost no power. The most critical factor was that these concubines often came from poor families and had no foundation or background. The lack of internal and external support led to extreme

Weak. Worse than those eunuchs who are familiar with people in the palace.

Uncle Qian Guo probably had the mindset that "the princess is easy to bully", but this generation seems to have changed a bit. Uncle Qian Guo, who was excluded from secret affairs, didn't know that Concubine Jin Xian was not the kind who came from a small family.

Xiaohu, a concubine who entered the palace and was left to fend for herself.

After much deliberation, Li You still couldn't see how Qian Guojiu seemed to be pretending to be stupid. There was no need to pretend to be stupid. He was just a person who was excluded from insider operations by his relatives and was not well-informed.

Mr. Li thought for a while and heard Qian Guojiu still nagging to Jin Wanwan, "What? You can't trust me? I can speak to the Queen Mother. Not much better than Wu Guangen? The prince of Wei Guogong is also here, listen.

If you say you have a conflict with the Duke, I can also mediate for you."

Mr. Li immediately felt that Uncle Qian Guo's words and deeds were indeed vulgar and vulgar. Fortunately, the court did not knight him, otherwise he would not be able to turn the world upside down.

I couldn't help but sigh, in fact, I can't say that he was really stupid. At least Qian Guojiu knew how to use the tiger skin of Queen Mother Qian's brother to fake the power of a tiger. At least he also knew how to attract the crown prince of Wei Guogong to build up his momentum.

Completely relieved at this point, Li You slapped the case again, and the thousands of words he prepared turned into just one word, "Get out!"

Qian Guojiu turned his head in shock. No one had said this word to him since his sister entered the palace.

Li You pointed at Qian An and said: "The king's law is ruthless, are you capable of blackmailing wealthy businessmen? I'm from the government office right outside the door. Do you want them to take you to have a taste of the Jiangdu County Prison?"

"How dare you!" Uncle Qian Guo stood up and shouted.

Li You smiled contemptuously, "You can give it a try. I am not someone who fears the powerful!"

Instead, he was threatened by Li You. Qian Guojiu shut up and his heart changed.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Li You is young, domineering, and loves to gain fame. He will definitely put his uncle in prison. No matter what, he will be thrown into the county prison first.

A big face will make you a joke.

"Since the words are not speculative, we will see you later!" Qian Guojiu put down his pretentious words and said to Prince Xu: "Let's go!"

Out of etiquette, Jin Wanwan sent Qian Guojiu and Xu Shizi out of the gate, and watched Qian Guojiu get on the sedan and go away.

"Is there any problem?" Jin Wanwan asked.

Li You replied nonchalantly: "It's just a clown! Fortunately, I was able to scare him away by going to jail. Otherwise, if he acted recklessly regardless of his identity, it would be really troublesome. Even if he was caught, it wouldn't be easy to let him go."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Mr. Li was about to say goodbye to his father-in-law when he saw a group of people wandering back.

A white-faced nobleman in his mid-thirties appeared. Upon closer inspection, it was the Duke of Wei, Crown Prince Xu. He cupped his fists and said, "You two, I still have something to say."

Li You and Jin Wanwan looked at each other. Prince Xu and uncle Qian Guo visited together, left together, and then quietly returned alone. What kind of drama is this?

No matter what, no family can turn away the Duke and the Crown Prince. Jin Wanwan extended his hand and said: "Please!"

The three of them re-entered Jin's house, returned to the flower hall where they had just been, and had tea again. Jin Wanwan and Li You didn't know the reason, and waited for Prince Xu to explain his doubts.

Prince Xu took a few sips of tea and put down the tea bowl, "Let me say a few words first. I did intend to come to visit Mr. Jin tonight, but I was indeed dragged here by Mr. Qian. However, what Mr. Qian said has nothing to do with me.

That's his own business, and I have other words."

Seeing that Crown Prince Xu had a kind attitude, Jin Wanwan felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "The Crown Prince made serious remarks. I wonder why he came to visit at night?"

"I should have come earlier, but I need an escort, and Mr. Li also knows that. So I can only come at night, please forgive me, Mr. Jin." Prince Xu explained a little redundantly, but he seemed to be very polite.

Mr. Li, who is famous for being suspicious, immediately became alert. He is always wary of people who are too thoughtful in etiquette. Because when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

Jin Wanwan also wanted to know what Crown Prince Xu planned to talk about, and secretly urged: "The Crown Prince has something to say, but just tell me."

Xu Shizi's tone was very humble, "My father asked me to come here to apologize to Jin Guozhang. I have offended many people before, and it is all the fault of our government. Please pay more attention to Jin Guozhang, don't take it to heart. I want to You can tell me how to make amends."

Jin Wanwan and Li You looked at each other in shock again. The father Xu Shizi mentioned was of course the contemporary Wei Guogong, who ranked first in the world and the most powerful Duke of Nanjing.

The dignified Duke could actually entrust the prince to apologize to Jin Wanwan, an upstart, in such a low profile. This was something they never expected. Although it was annoying when the Duke sent people to arrest Jin Wanwan, they fought back. It's also very intense. What's the point of being like this tonight?

Prince Xu quickly gave a reason, "I just hope that the bad blood between our government and the Jin family will be wiped out from now on, and the incident of trafficking in residual salt will be let go, so that there won't be any more trouble."

Both Jin Wanwan and Li You understood this sentence. The government meant that all past grievances should be wiped out and the matter of jointly trafficking in illicit salt should be treated as if it never happened.

Could it be that Wei Guogong felt the pressure of the illegal salt case and begged Jin Wanwan not to make any more mistakes?

Thinking of this, Li You took the place of Jin Wanwan and tried out to Prince Xu: "My father-in-law has always had no grudges with your family, but it was only because of the villain's instigation that we got into trouble. We are also aware of this, so Jin Guozhang reported the villain Ding Yunshi of the Salt Transport Department to the government. Fortunately, the court paid attention to it, which caused great changes in the salt industry in Lianghuai. However, thinking about the old relationship did not involve your government at all, and the Duke of Guo should also be able to feel it. .”

Prince Xu nodded slightly, "Yes, my father will remember this kindness in his heart. I really want to thank the father of the country for his kindness."

Li You continued: "In my opinion, you don't have to worry too much. Frankly speaking, with the power of your government, it will be easy to avoid this salt case. At most, you will receive some unsupervised punishment, which is insignificant. Why do you come here to behave in a low manner? Please kindly ask Mr. Jin?"

Prince Xu smiled bitterly, "I knew you would have this question, and I have nothing to hide. If there is no caring person, it will be as you said, but I am afraid of meeting someone who is caring."

Feeling that he was getting closer to the truth, Li You asked again: "Is there anyone in the world who is more thoughtful than the Duke of Nanjing and the garrison of Nanjing?"

"Of course there are, such as the Empress Dowager Cisheng."

Li You didn't know how many times he had looked at each other with Jin Wanwan. He didn't expect it, but he quickly came to his senses. "From what I think, it seems that Empress Dowager Cisheng has no need to target Wei Guogong. How could anyone care about it?" explain?"

Prince Xu once again answered: "My uncle is serving as an official in the capital because of his kindness. He returned to Nanjing a few days ago with the Empress Dowager Cisheng's oral instructions, saying that he wanted my father to go to the capital to participate in the affairs of the nobles."

Prince Xu did not say the following words, but Li You still understood. The implication must be that if Wei Guogong does not go, he must be careful about being implicated in the salt case.

The water here is really getting deeper and deeper.
