Also out of fear of what might happen, Emperor Yuan immediately turned around and said, "What do you two Aiqings think? By the way, Li Aiqing is pushing for trade. I remembered it."

Li Shangshu shuddered and secretly cursed his wife for being greedy. She actually accepted ten thousand taels of silver to speak for Nan Ying and to ensure that Nan Ying could open a trade route with Bei Mo. By the time he found out, the silver was already out of his hands.

, became a handle!

He thought that no one knew about this, so he quickly told his wife not to talk too much and to hide the matter. He was just speaking for me in the court, at least he would be in the situation of getting paid to do things, but who would have expected that it would happen again?

What happens next?

Your Majesty must be furious now. The matter of borrowing money is now in doubt. If he continues to persist, he will definitely disobey His Majesty's wishes.

"Your Majesty, we were previously discussing the matter of borrowing a trade route between Nanyang and Beimo. I thought that collecting taxes from the two countries would also be a way to replenish the national treasury, so I insisted on borrowing the route. However, the situation has changed now, and I also want to

Just reconsider."

Li Shangshu felt troublesome when he thought of the silver hidden in his private treasury. The housewife was short-sighted and somehow got involved with the Nanying people. If she was not careful, she would be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

, they want to ransack the house!

It was exactly this way that he was caught by the Nanying people, and now he is riding a tiger with difficulty.

In fact, Mrs. Shangshu is also innocent. Not to mention Li Shangshu, even she herself feels inexplicable. It seems that this matter was also Rouji's handiwork. She attended several flower arrangements in Tianxiang Pavilion and got into hot fights with the ladies.

After all, she had a high status. She was the daughter-in-law of the Song family and the princess of the Nanying Kingdom. After befriending Rouji, she was not stupid enough to take action herself. She turned around and took several ladies to an elegant theater in the city.

It's said to be an elegant theater, but it's actually a place for listening to music. It's much taller than the less popular theaters outside, and the actors inside are even more stunning. Both men and women have lustful instincts, and the ladies fell in immediately.

.

Rouji just pushed it, and someone else would naturally take over the rest. The theater was one of their strongholds that had been hidden in the Renren Pavilion for many years. She didn't care whether Qin Feng and the others knew about it. Qian Xiang personally explained it.

She must complete the task.

Otherwise, she would not be able to live an peaceful life. She completely pushed back on the subsequent development. After being lured away, she became the obedient little daughter-in-law of the Song family again. Just sit back and watch how Mrs. Li gets burned!

Now Li Shangshu was so embarrassed by his wife that he almost bit his tongue several times when he spoke. He overturned his previous stance with one sentence, which seemed a lot more fair.

Emperor Yuan thought of how Li Shangshu was foaming at the mouth when he went to court a few days ago, but it couldn't be connected with his current performance. He couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that things have changed at this time and that time, and Li Aiqing's thoughts have also changed."

Changed.”

Emperor Yuan just sighed casually, but it made the guilty Li Shangshu break out in cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the death of Mr. Cheng has alerted me. This matter is of great importance, and I dare not make any further remarks."

Song Luo felt calm in his heart. He did not think about the changes in Li Shangshu's attitude before and after. He just thought that Mr. Cheng's reputation was really useful. Didn't Li Shangshu regard him as an excuse and successfully fool him?

He sighed softly in his heart, and he didn't know who it was for. After becoming the prime minister, everyone thought that the Song family was on the same level, and that he was below one person and above ten thousand people. But they didn't know that he was now step by step.

It's like walking on thin ice, thinking over every word and every sentence.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say." Song Luo ignored it: "Now all the officials are worried about the trade matter, but I think this matter should be looked at separately. Firstly, the Southern Ying wants to trade with the Northern Desert, so it needs

It is true to take the road eastward."

"But later, the academy students asked for help. What they asked was for the three countries to trade with each other, including East Vietnam and Bei Mo. However, this matter was only initiated by the students. I boldly remind you that I and others are now considered to be fans of the authorities - Bei Mo did not formally propose to negotiate with the authorities.

East-Vietnam trade.”

A word that wakes up the dreamer!

Eunuch Hong wants to give the Prime Minister a thumbs up!

Isn't that right? Look at how entangled His Majesty is. The main reason is that Mr. Cheng's death was so frightening that His Majesty was confused for a while, not to mention that he was already dissatisfied with the students from Hengshan Academy.

I don't know anything else, but Eunuch Hong thought that His Majesty was suspicious, and wondered whether the behavior of these students was instructed by Mr. Cheng, and wanted to use the academy and his reputation to force His Majesty to surrender. How can an emperor be without suspicion?

In the end, Mr. Cheng really didn't play with such tricks and killed himself with a glass of poisonous wine. Before he died, he did not forget to leave a thousand-character letter expressing his loyalty. Those words were really heartbreaking and made His Majesty feel uncomfortable!

Now I have to personally preside over the funeral, give favors to the academy and the Cheng family, and support my relatives. I have to do this. If I don't do it well, there may be rumors.

Fortunately, there are sensible people around His Majesty. After all the quarrels these days, it seems that Prime Minister Song is still reliable. No, His Majesty's eyebrows relaxed and he said: "Continue."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Luo said this without intending to stop: "Yes, this matter must be looked at separately. Now it is Nanying who has officially handed over a letter and wants to borrow a passage. This is a state matter. As for the relationship with Beimo

We can put aside the matter of trade for the time being."

"The entanglement between Dongyue and Beimo is deep. Since there is no official document coming from Beimo, why should Dongyue go to Qianzi to deal with the matter? There is no need to discuss it openly in the court."

Song Luo's words were crisp and clear. How could Bai Beitang have imagined that Song Luo would reach this level and make him and Li Shangshu look like fools?

Ears listen.

Emperor Yuan's heart was very blocked today, and it was only now that he felt a little relieved. He was worthy of being the person he personally promoted after seeing the whole court!

"I have heard a lot about the pros and cons of borrowing the road. Mr. Cheng also stated it in a thousand-character article before he left. Everything depends on your Majesty's decision. There are only two places where the three countries meet. In terms of convenient transportation, Beiguan is the only one.

It goes without saying how important Beiguan is to East Vietnam."

Emperor Yuan suddenly waved his hand and interrupted him. Song Luo was stunned for a moment, while Bai Beitang was a little gloating. There is a price to pay for being in the limelight. If you don't do well, you will be the one who stands out. Song Luo must have got carried away.

"The North Pass cannot be moved. If they want to take advantage of it, they can go to another place." Emperor Yuan sneered: "Tariffs have been levied on both countries. It is true that there are high mountains over there, but they are not insurmountable. If they are willing,

Then take advantage of it!"
