Chapter 115 The Right Prime Minister who is good at calculating!(1/2)
Chapter 115 The right prime minister who is good at calculating!
Everyone in the court and the country knows that Guo Wanjin, one of the four great gods of wealth, is the money bag of the Right Prime Minister. Now that Guo Wanjin suffers a big loss, it means that the Right Prime Minister suffers a big loss.
As the soul of the Right Prime Minister, Li Linfu, what would he react? Should he swallow his anger or launch a fierce counterattack?
For a moment, the eyes of the court and the public were all staring at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
...
The You Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Ankangfang, with five major courtyards in front and behind. There are hundreds of houses in various types, living in the main house, guards, servants, maids... There are more than 1,000 people, coming in and out, which is extremely lively!
However, in the fourth courtyard, there is a small hall with a moon-shaped shape, which looks particularly deserted. No one in the mansion dares to get close to it, because this is the private space of the right prime minister Li Linfu.
It is said that when Li Linfu wanted to murder a political enemy, he would sit quietly in Yanyue Hall and ponder. If he walked out with a smile on his face, it would mean that the murdered person would be killed soon.
On the contrary, if Li Linfu walked out with a deep face, it means that the murdered person is not in danger of his life yet.
When Li Linfu was sitting quietly and pondering, he hated being disturbed the most. Anyone in the prime minister's mansion who dared to approach Yanyue Hall for no reason would definitely be severely punished. At the very least, he would be subject to dozens of bans, and he would not get out of bed for three or two months, and at the worst, he would die!
But, there are two exceptions.
"Where is the Prime Minister?"
"Report to the lonely young master, the prime minister is sitting quietly in Yanyue Hall."
"Okay, give way!"
"promise!"
A figure strided straight for Yanyue Hall. The guards along the way did not stop him, but instead made way.
It’s not someone else, it’s the unparalleled young master - Gu Du Junchen!
As mentioned earlier, there are two people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion who can enter and exit Yanyue Hall freely. One is Li Linfu's eldest son, Li Xiu, who is currently the military officer of the Jingzhao Mansion, and is a new noble in the court.
The other is Gu Du Junchen. As for the reason, hehe, it has been explained before.
...
In Yanyue Hall, the right prime minister Li Linfu was wearing his usual clothes, sitting cross-legged on a soft couch in silver wire, playing Go intently.
When playing Go, two people should play chess.
But Li Linfu is different. He likes to play chess alone, use his left hand to compete with his right hand, use his one-pointed and two-pointed approaches to each other.
It is not enough for a person to just be able to calculate others. He also has to be able to calculate himself, calculate the overall situation, and calculate the whole world. Only in this way can he truly calculate everything!
Gu Du Junchen quickly walked up to him and paid a big greeting to Li Linfu: "Greetings to uncle!"
"Ye'er is here, sit down!"
"Thank you uncle!"
Wei'er - is Dugu Junchen's nickname, because there is a green birthmark on his back, which looks like a snake - Wei'er, so he gave such a nickname!
Ancient books say: A dragon turns into a dragon after five hundred years, a dragon turns into a dragon after thousands of years, a dragon becomes a horned dragon after five hundred years, and a thousand years become a dragon.
He is nicknamed by Yu'er, and he also hopes that after Dugu Junchen grows up, he can turn into a snake into a dragon and soar into the sky.
By the way, the nickname of Viagra was given by Li Linfu, which shows how much love he loves this illegitimate child.
"Yu'er, let's talk about it, what's going on outside?"
"When I say my uncle, the situation is very bad. Guo Wanjin has made a big compensation this time. Our wallets have shrunk by at least half. This is because my nephew is incompetent. I would like to ask my uncle to punish me!"
Gu Du Junchen was very depressed and even had the urge to hit the wall with his head!
After several months of hard work and using a lot of connections, I successfully set off a shortage of money and hope to use this matter to severely attack the forces of the Left Prime Minister's Party.
If the left prime minister party collapses, the right prime minister party will naturally come out to clean up the mess. In that case, the power of the court will be in the hands of my uncle, and I will have to be in the wind and rain.
Things were going well, but in ten days and half a month, the task was completed. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the situation took a sharp turn and became the failure side. Not only did it fail miserably, but it was also in a mess.
I can’t figure out why Wang Yuanbao and Fairy Mei took huge risks and took all their wealth to save the market?
I can't figure out why a mere small bill of exchange can make the stalled commercial transactions re-activate, and it's even better than before.
I don’t understand even more that Gao Lishi has always been cautious and never participated in the battle between court officials. Why did he take action this time?
...
"Haha, there is no need to punish me. This time it was not your fault, but none of us expected that a very powerful opponent would appear inexplicably, and that would be a loss!"
"Adversary, what kind of opponent... My nephew doesn't understand, please let my uncle tell me!"
"Come on, take a look, this is a secret letter just sent by the borer."
While speaking, Li Linfu took out a secret letter from his arms, which recorded in detail the time, location, number of people in the last few gatherings of the Left Prime Minister, and every word everyone said during the gathering!
Last time in the Qinzhengwu Building, Li Linfu and Zuo Prime Minister Li Shizhi had a fierce dispute over how to solve the money shortage.
During the dispute, Li Shizhi was very brilliant and offered more than a dozen tricks in a row, which not only suppressed the Right Prime Minister, but also won the favor of Dangjin and handed over the power of the court to him.
At that time, Li Linfu was wondering why Li Shizhi suddenly became powerful, and was there any expert behind the scenes who gave him advice?
Therefore, Li Linfu used the temptation of high officials and generous salaries, and supplemented with some despicable means to successfully bribe an important member of the Left Prime Minister's Party, allowing him to secretly convey the situation to him.
As for the person who was bribed, it was inconvenient to refer to him by his official position in order to keep it confidential, so he gave him a code name: borer!
Only Li Linfu knew the identity of this borer, and it was one of the highest secrets and must not be revealed, even if it was his own illegitimate child.
If you want to stand firm in the court, you cannot trust anyone - this is one of Li Linfu's mottos.
"What, it was this kid who ruined our big deal. How could this be possible?" After reading the secret letter, Dugu Junchen's surprised little tongue spit out. The master behind the scenes who helped the Zuo Prime Minister's party provide advice turned out to be Li Zhao!
It was Li Zhao who proposed the method of minting bronze coins and eradicating the destruction of money and smelting copper!
It was Li Zhao who convinced Wang Yuanbao that Fairy Mei took out billions of wealth to stabilize prices.
It was Li Zhao who created the money house, bill of exchange, chamber of commerce... to make the commercial transactions active, and Li Zhao came to persuade Gao Lishi to help.
To be honest, this time the Right Prime Minister was not defeated by the Left Prime Minister, but by Li Zhao!
...
If it was because of Fairy Mei before, Dugu Junchen felt resentful towards Li Zhao.
After reading the secret letter, Dugu Junchen's emotions became even more complicated, including resentment, anger, jealousy... and even a little bit of admiration!
Ask yourself, if Li Zhao had done these things, if he had been replaced by himself, he would probably not have been able to do it. He would not even think about it. This guy is only in his teenage years old, so why is he so powerful? Could it be that he was a monster who could not be reincarnated?
On the other hand, Li Linfu also felt emotion. He had heard that among the descendants of the royal family, a genius named Li Zhao, was a descendant of the King of Wu. Not long after he came to Chang'an City, he faintly suppressed the limelight of Chang'an Sijun.
I thought that Li Zhao was literary, musical, and a little clever. He was the kind of romantic young man who could make girls happy!
Unexpectedly, this guy is very powerful when planning military and national affairs. He is really a hero!
"Yu'er, I heard you have dated this Li Zhao?"
"Yes, at the Qujiang banquet held by Fairy Mei, my nephew had some relationships with him, but he didn't have a deep relationship, so I can only say that he was nodding."
"Haha, it's better to have friendship than not. You can find opportunities in the future and have more contact with this Li Zhao and try it out. Can you bring him to our side?"
"What, pull him over, this is probably not easy to deal with, right?"
Dugu Junchen thought about it and looked embarrassed on his face.
The secret letter sent by the borer said that just yesterday morning, the Zuoxiong Party and his group were waiting for another party at the home of Jiao Tun, a famous scholar in Chang'an, and drank the celebration wine for most of the day.
Li Zhao's seat rose from the original second to the second to the second to the right, tightly next to the left prime minister Li Shizhi. What does this mean?
This shows that Li Zhao has become a core member of the Left Prime Minister's Party. How easy is it to pull him over?
"Haha, young people, what they pursue is nothing more than glory, wealth, and beautiful wife and concubine. You can tell Li Zhao that what Li Shizhi can give him, I can give him, but what Li Shizhi can't give him, I can still give him; as long as he is willing to vote for me, official position, title, money, beauty... he can get whatever he wants."
In addition to being the first prime minister of the dynasty, Li Linfu was also very powerful, which was his ability to win over the hearts of the people.
In order to win over the party, I am willing to spend a lot of money!
Many important civil and military officials in the court were attracted to the Right Prime Minister in this way.
"Yi'er understands that she will definitely try every means to win over Li Zhao and let him use it for his uncle... But what if this kid doesn't know how to show up and refuses to come over?"
"If that's the case, then the future troubles will be eliminated sooner, do you understand?"
Speaking of this, Li Linfu showed a vicious smile on his old face and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
If a talent like Li Zhao cannot be used for himself, he must get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
"Another, tell our people that in recent times, we are not allowed to fight with the people from the left prime minister anymore. Even if they provoke it on their own initiative, we must retreat."
"Uncle, why is this?"
Dugu Junchen was very puzzled. Although the Right Prime Minister suffered a great loss in this battle, the overall strength was still far stronger than the Left Prime Minister.
Since you have enough strength, you should find an opportunity and compete with the left party to make a difference. Why should you avoid giving in?
Could it be that my uncle is old and no longer as brave as he was before, and he dares not fight with Li Shizhi... Gu Du Junchen thought about it secretly, but did not dare to reveal it.
But how could he hide his little thoughts from Li Linfu's eyes?
"What, do you think my uncle is old and dare not fight with others?"
"I dare not!"
