Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Li Xiu whispered the words, and Li Xiu's eyes flickered. In the south of the Yangtze River, the style of writing is at its peak, and there is only one reason why the style of writing is flourishing, and that is wealth.

In this era, only the rich are qualified to support so many scholars, and the scholars born because of the wealth will naturally be bound together by the wealth.

This is the so-called collusion between officials and businessmen. To be precise, it is not accurate to describe it as collusion.

The integration of government and business is Jiangnan, or in other words, the current status of Daming!

The official has a family, and the family is a business, which supports the officials to hold power. The family uses the power of the officials as a support to complete the business's wealth collection and expansion, and the officials, with the help of the family's financial resources, expand their contacts, and the official fortune is prosperous...

A perfect closed loop is thus formed.

And the land in the south of the Yangtze River is full of this perfect closed loop.

He left the bank behind, and even personally supported the expansion of the bank for this reason, and even directly backed the bank with the army, just to tear a hole in each of these closed loops.

The combination of power and money means that the economy of Ming Dynasty is in the hands of these people.

There is no doubt that all aspects of Daming need the support of these people.

Now, if he wants to attack these people, there is no doubt that he, as well as Da Ming, will lose the support of these people, and even be backlashed by them.

Daming's economy, the lifeline of Daming's financial resources, will also suffer a fatal blow.

At this point, it is not a military mighty, and it can be solved by suppressing the world.

Chaos in the world will also be inevitable,

In this way, the role of Qianzhuang is naturally obvious. With the help of his power, he pulls his banner, and even he personally steps off the stage.

This bank is undoubtedly developing rapidly. In a few years, it has spread to the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and has been deployed to the south of the Yangtze River. A wealthy businessman influenced and even controlled by him.

These wealthy merchants are also distributed in all aspects of the Ming economy!

It is precisely because of the existence of these that he has been so brilliant.

After all, if the logistics are all controlled by the civil service system, even if he can influence it, with the urgency of the civil service and the situation where he is now raising the butcher knife and the world is an enemy, it is impossible to support his current confidence.

Not to mention, in the land of the south of the Yangtze River, the government and businessmen are integrated everywhere!

The turmoil that will soon come.

Taking the bank as the base point, spreading out, and belonging to him as an integration of government and business, is his greatest confidence and reliance in the face of this situation...

Chapter 276

"...Jinglu Guard rebelled, so is it possible that the rest of the guards may also rebel?"

"Duke Qin's actions in the south of the Yangtze River are so big..."

"There is no peace in Liaodong..."

In the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen stood with his body bowed, while the Empress Dowager Zhou muttered to herself, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, and a trace of deep sorrow was clearly visible.

Hearing this, Wang Chengen hesitated for a while before saying: "Since Duke Qin dared to do this, he should have been prepared."

"At this point in time, Duke Qin should have already entered the palace. If you have any doubts, why don't you ask Duke Qin face to face?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the little emperor who was sitting upright at the table and writing with a brush, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen cupped his hands and left the hall.

The Empress Dowager Zhou stood in place for a long time, the sadness on her brows was hard to dissipate.

Although she is also aware of the backlash of the reform, her vision completely limits her cognition.

Just at the beginning, the entire Ming Dynasty is already in turmoil, and the country is about to fall.

She really didn't dare to imagine how horrible things would happen next.

And for those horrors, she has no power to deal with them, she can only wait passively, waiting for their arrival, and can't do anything.

Vaguely, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful, it seemed that she shouldn't have agreed to this matter so easily, she should have delayed a little longer, or discouraged her a bit.

But after thinking about it, even if she shouldn't, it probably won't affect the occurrence of this matter.

She is naturally very clear about the late emperor's ambition.

And with the way Duke Qin acted, he would never do nothing...

Can……

The current situation...

"Mom, what are you thinking?"

The little emperor walked up to the side of the Queen Mother Zhou at some point, and raised his head to ask.

"No... nothing..."

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked down at the little emperor: "Brother Chun, have you finished practicing your calligraphy?"

"Haste makes waste. Let me take a break. Uncle Li said that nothing should be rushed."

Hearing the little emperor's decent answer, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help showing a look of pity in her eyes.

How can a mother not want her children to be happy, let alone when they are still children.

However, her child is not qualified to be happy, let alone carefree.

A three-year-old child, in her hometown, was still playing with mud on the ground, but now, her child is already the king of a country, the supreme emperor.

It is necessary to learn to read characters, learn etiquette, learn how to be an emperor, and learn to understand many truths that are difficult for adults to understand...

With so many burdens, the joy of a child has never been related to her child from the very beginning.

"Then Brother Chun, take a good rest. Your Uncle Li should come over later, and then go with your Uncle Li..."

"it is good!"

The little emperor nodded, and trotted towards the side hall, followed by several eunuchs.

At this moment, outside the Qianqing Palace, Li Xiu had already stopped outside the palace at some point, and beside him was Wang Chengen who followed suit.

"Your Majesty called me to come here, why?"

Looking at the solemn Qianqing Palace in front of him, Li Xiu looked a little dazed and asked casually.

"Your Majesty is a little worried..."

Halfway through the conversation, Wang Chengen didn't say any more.

Hearing this, Li Xiu frowned. He had no intention of usurping the throne, so naturally, he did not impose any restrictions on the Empress Dowager.

Of course, in the current situation, he cannot help restricting the Empress Dowager, otherwise, he will only throw a stone at his own feet, making the government unstable, and at the same time, it will also give people with ulterior motives an extra excuse.

In this way, if he wants to stand firm, he cannot do without the full support of the Queen Mother.

That's why he comforted the queen mother repeatedly, even despite his busy government affairs, he would spend a little time in the palace every day to teach the emperor.

In the current situation, no matter how turbulent the world is, most of it is under control. If it is really out of control, it is just a matter of smashing plates.

But if the harem is unstable, or if the Queen Mother's mind is unstable, then there will be some troubles.

"Hair is long, knowledge is short..."

Suddenly, such a sentence could not help but appear in Li Xiu's mind.

Fortunately, up to now, the queen mother has not done anything out of the ordinary, so it doesn't make him too worried.

Li Xiu didn't even ask Wang Chengen where the Queen Mother got the news from. If he had no restrictions, if the dignified Queen Mother couldn't even see the external situation clearly, she would be really stupid and hopelessly stupid.

While thinking about it, Li Xiu stepped forward and slowly walked into the Qianqing Palace.

The hall was empty, only the Empress Dowager Zhou stood alone in front of the table, as if she was looking at something.

Soon, Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Li Xiu who walked into the hall. At this moment, the worry on Empress Dowager Zhou's eyebrows seemed to dissipate a bit.

"Sir, see the Queen Mother."

As always, Li Xiu bowed to the Queen Mother.

Similarly, Empress Zhou was also exempt from courtesy as always.

"The Ai family heard that the Shaanxi Jinglu Weitong rebellion caused the battle to defeat the rebels to fall short..."

Hearing this, Li Xiu subconsciously looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou who spoke out, and when he saw the worry on the brows of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he let go of his slightly raised heart.

As long as it's not the queen mother who has something that she shouldn't have, then it's okay.

Li Xiu pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and bowed, speaking slowly, and at the same time soothing the empress dowager in front of him little by little.

Apparently, the Empress Dowager Zhou must have been worried and even terrified after learning about the external situation.

If the empress dowager's worries and fears could not be appeased or even eliminated, no one would know what stupid things a woman who was frightened into a nervous state and who was also the empress dowager would do.

By then, it will be too late.

After listening to Li Xiu's narration and analysis, and further understanding the evolution of the situation, the worry on the brows of the Empress Dowager Zhou finally dissipated a bit.

Looking at Li Xiu who was neither humble nor overbearing, the Empress Dowager Zhou's mood was as complicated as ever.

Everything was clearly telling her that she had to believe, and even rely on the minister of the auxiliary country in front of her, and she was the only minister of the auxiliary country.

In fact, she can only choose to believe and rely on.

As a mother, she still couldn't completely let go of her heart.

Her worry seemed to be worrying about the situation of the country, but it seemed that it was more of the worry that was always difficult to dissipate... and fear...

Li Xiu didn't say any more, and after a bow, he left.

Of course, what happened to him in the palace is still unknown.

To be the teacher of others and the son of heaven, he still has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

The emperor is still young, and everything is the golden age of shaping and instilling.

He is not at ease handing it over to others, and it is impossible to hand it over to others.

Whether it's for himself or for the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, he needs to fulfill this responsibility well.

Chapter 277 Tranquility and Chaos

Beijing.

Outside the palace, on a street.

Li Xiu was wearing a blue cloth robe, holding the little emperor's hand, and walked slowly.

Among the bustling crowd, there were Qin Gong's personal guards in plain clothes, all looking around nervously, and those who were slightly abnormal might be hit by a thunderbolt.

The little emperor was obviously very excited. It was the first time he saw this bustling street in his memory.

Everything, as far as he is concerned, is so novel.

"Come and chase me!"

"Quick!"

"Second brother, don't run so fast!"

On the street, several children who were about the same age as Xiao Tianzi were playing and playing under a big tree, and two of them climbed onto the tree neatly, eating half a bunch of candied haws contentedly.

Seeing this scene, the little emperor's eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen a child his age, the first time he had seen such a scene of wanton joy...

Li Xiu looked down at the little emperor's wide eyes, then at the children playing under the big tree, he stopped walking, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, the little emperor withdrew his gaze and subconsciously raised his head to look at Li Xiu.

But at this moment, Li Xiu looked around as if he didn't notice the little emperor's longing eyes.

Seeing this scene, the little emperor pouted his lips, couldn't help but glanced at the children playing under the big tree, and looked at Li Xiu who was unmoved again. In the end, he could only let Li Xiu hold hands, The little feet kicked randomly.

One big and one small stood in place for a long time, but in the end, it was Li Xiu who squatted down slowly, and the little emperor who was looking around at first immediately looked away, trying to put on a mature appearance.

Seeing the appearance of the little emperor, Li Xiu couldn't help sighing softly. He looked around, and then his eyes fixed on the old man selling candied haws on the street.

Soon, a strong man in the crowd walked over, bought a bunch of candied haws, and handed them to Li Xiu.

The little emperor's eyes also subconsciously followed the bunch of candied haws.

Li Xiu asked: "Do you want it?"

The little emperor hesitated for a while, and then nodded affirmatively.

Li Xiu didn't say much, and pointed to the children playing under the big tree, and asked, "Want to play together?"
