The emperor's heart alone

Xu Yunjin was very happy when he received the news that Young Master Li was heading to the capital with goods from the south.

The north-south trade route was an idea that Xu Yunjin had a long time ago, but it could not be put into practice until he had the financial and manpower. It is no exaggeration to say that if the north-south trade route can be formally started to drive the exchange of goods between the north and the south, It is no exaggeration to say that the names of the five minorities in the capital have been left in history.

However, Xu Yunjin doesn't need to be famous in history. He has always disdained these false names that can't bring any benefits in his lifetime. After all, he is still a businessman, and what he pursues most is profit.The north-south trade route can bring huge benefits to Xu Yunjin, so he did it. The sea trade route can bring greater benefits to Xu Yunjin, so Xu Yunjin also did it.

It is said that businessmen are low, but who knows it well?Even the emperor's Shi Junji, how could he know the role of a merchant?Which one does not require money to govern the country, distribute salaries, relieve disasters and help the people, or fight wars?Could it be possible to get all the money just by collecting taxes from farmers?Shi Junji also knew that was unrealistic.The name is contemptible, but it may not be contemptible in reality. I have seen many wealthy businessmen insult and even beat the people, but how many people treat the rich businessmen like this?Even if the imperial court stipulates that merchants are not allowed to wear silk, satin, etc., but after careful investigation, except for the fact that the sons of merchants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, which item is completely implemented and cannot be exploited?

What's more, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries talk about the contempt of businessmen while letting people run shops and other things. Presumably they also know the importance of money. How many people in this world can't live with money?And Xu Yunjin is just one of them who doesn't cover up.

In a moment of joy, Xu Yunjin replied to Young Master Li with a thick letter, from entrusting the goods with as few accidents as possible to which road is safer, Xu Yunjin said everything about it, and finally called Sandalwood After thinking about it for myself, I made sure there were no omissions before giving up. I also wrote a letter to Liu Sanshao who stayed in the south. Even though he knew that Li Dashao had to give Liu Sanshao clear instructions before leaving, Xu Yunjin still told Liu Sanshao again and again. Not to mention some things to pay attention to, it was not until the sun was setting that Xu Yunjin delivered the two thick letters to Tan Xiang, and asked Tan Xiang to throw the letters away as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, before Li Dashao's letter arrived, the news of Hu Buke's sailing again had already reached Xu Yunjin's ears. This time, he had to go farther and take a longer time. The day of marriage with Luoxue.

It has been more than half a month since Qingpei left. For the sake of safety, no news came back. Xu Yunjin was still calm, but Qinghuan couldn't hold back any longer. He stood in front of Xu Yunjin's door every day, waiting Xu Yunjin gave him a letter of approval when Qingpei would come back, but it was a pity that Xu Yunjin himself was not sure whether Qingpei would come back, so how could he give Qinghuan a letter of approval?In the end, being annoyed by Qinghuan, he simply seldom met with Qinghuan, and even went back to Xu's mansion less often—we can't drive Qinghuan to other places, can we?If Qingpei couldn't come back, Xu Yunjin would not even be able to feel impatient when facing Qinghuan.

At the beginning, few people in Xu's residence knew about Xu Yunjin's frequent absences at night, but later on Xu Jiashi, Xu Yunting and others knew about it. After all, Xu Yunjin often did this before, didn't he?But Xu Tao quit when he found out, and insisted that Xu Yunjin come back to live every night.

Knowing the inside story, Xu Yunting felt that Xu Tao's actions were completely unnecessary. Now either Xu Yunjin lived with Shi Junji in Changping Palace or Shi Junji followed Xu Yunjin in Xu's mansion, Xu Tao couldn't control it at all.On the surface, Xu Yunjin agreed, but still went his own way. Xu Tao began to "arrest" Xu Yunjin everywhere. It wasn't until Xu Yunjin was caught several times in normal houses in the capital that Xu Tao gradually calmed down. His actions—God knows that house belongs to Shi Junji at all.

When Xu Yunjin's carriage was stopped more than [-] times by Yin Yuli's people within a month, Xu Yunjin really hated Yin Yuli to the extreme, so he went to see Yin Yuli. On the way, Xu Yunjin was still thinking, could it be that Yin Yuli just believed that he would be impatient sooner or later, so he kept blocking him?

"Grassman Yin Yuli pays homage to Mr. Xu."

Xu Yunjin didn't look at Yin Yuli who was saluting to him, but looked at Yin Yuli's residence, which was simpler than he expected, but Yin Yuli, the most important counselor around the third prince, did not live in In the third prince's mansion, it can be seen that the third prince also trusts him a lot.

After Xu Yunjin looked around the house, he went to see Yin Yuli. According to Shi Junji, this Yin Yuli is no doubt about his age, but from a simple look, he just stood there, with a white face and a slender body. , is worthy of being a romantic talent.

"What should I call it?" Xu Yunjin sat straight in the first seat and asked.

When Yin Yuli heard Xu Yunjin's words, he got up by himself, and said with a smile, "I heard that Second Young Master Xu has always been forthright, but looking at it today, he really deserves his reputation."

"Yin Yuli's reputation is in vain." Xu Yunjin said slowly, "The person who dared to point at the late emperor's nose and say that the imperial examinations were unfair, now wants to flatter me, a little court official, really wronged. "

After all, Yin Yuli is a person who has experienced ups and downs in life. Facing Xu Yunjin's unceremonious ridicule, he didn't show anything wrong on his face, with a smile on his face: "Only by being able to bend and stretch can one become a man. It's far away." He said again, "Second Young Master can just call me Yuli."

"Excuse me, I don't know you well, what if someone misunderstands you by this name?" Xu Yunjin said casually, "You know me well, you know that you don't call me Mr. Xu, but Second Young Master Xu. It seems that it is true. Observed me for a long time."

Yin Yuli didn't deny it, and still smiled: "Who in the capital doesn't know the name of the five young masters of the capital? It's different from the four young masters of the capital. Xu Ershao, as the head of the five young masters among them, you seem to be more concerned about this kind of thing, I was just trying my luck, and now it seems that my luck is not bad."

Xu Yunjin was noncommittal: "That's the case, so what? After a moment of good luck, it may not always be good luck in the future. You should understand this truth better than me."

Yin Yuli's smile deepened: "As expected of Xu Ershao, he is even more powerful than I imagined."

"To each other." Xu Yunjin stood up, "I'm just here to tell you, don't ask people to disturb me anymore, that's all. If someone comes to disturb me later, I will have to bear some pressure from the government." It's my name." Xu Yunjin laughed, "Since you know me so well, you should also understand my temperament, right?"

Yin Yuli's tone was neither urgent nor slow: "Xu Ershao, why are you so anxious? I think we still have a lot to say, which is much more interesting than what you are going to do now."

Xu Yunjin raised his eyebrows: "You don't need to tell me whether what I do is interesting or not. Similarly, don't bother me with things you think are interesting. I won't accompany you."

Xu Yunjin strode away, Yin Yuli didn't stop him, just sat on the chair, smiling unabated, his eyes far-reaching, unpredictable: "It's really interesting." Then he shook his head regretfully, "It's just a pity."

When Xu Yunjin went to see Yin Yuli, Shi Junji received the news, fearing that Xu Yunjin would suffer some kind of persecution from Yin Yuli, he hurried out of the palace, and happened to meet Xu Yunjin who came out from Yin Yuli's place , Shi Junji rushed up to meet him and grabbed Xu Yunjin's hand: "Are you okay? What did he tell you?"

Xu Yunjin glanced back, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk in the carriage."

Only then did Shi Junji realize that he had acted too hastily, so he suppressed his heart for the time being, and got into the carriage with Xu Yunjin. After the carriage had left for a long while, Shi Junji repeated what he had just asked.

Xu Yunjin rubbed the bridge of his nose, told Shi Junji all Yin Yuli's words, and finally said: "Sometimes I really don't understand their thoughts. They already know the relationship between you, if they believe you and me As for the relationship between you and me, one by one ran over to me blatantly to win me over, do you think I will betray you? If they don’t believe in the relationship between you and me, and think that you are just playing with me, then they What's the use of looking for me? How can I help them as a plaything?"

"It's actually very simple." Shi Junji tried to explain the problem clearly to Xu Yunjin, "They just want to seize any opportunity to achieve their goals. The reason why the Xu family has been valued these years is because they are low-key enough, but this is not the case. It doesn't mean that the Xu family is weak, how could the Third Prince not see it? But now that you and I are unclear, let them see the idea of ​​taking the Xu family into their hands. After all, their strength is still very strong. Weak and weak, if they can get help from the Xu family, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to them. Even if the Xu family is unwilling to betray the emperor for you, it will also create a gap with the current emperor, and they will have a greater chance to replace you. I."

Xu Yunjin sighed: "The most annoying thing is these crooked things, and it's hard for you to have to face them since you were young and not feel bored. I don't care about those troublesome things, but first, I I will definitely not stand on the side of the third prince, and second, I don't want the Xu family to be involved."

Shi Junji smiled and said: "Of course, how could I be willing to let you get involved in these things?"

Xu Yunjin glanced at Shi Junji and said nothing, yes, Shi Jun was very reluctant to let himself be involved in these things, but the development of the matter was indeed beyond his control or Shi Junji's, in fact, he was already in the game , It was too late to break free now.

Xu Yunjin lowered his head and rubbed the teacup on the tea table of the carriage, his thoughts were inexplicable, no wonder he thought too much, now that the Xu family is in the limelight, if things about himself and Shi Junji are revealed later, the power of the Xu family will inevitably rise to a higher level Building, and this is what their Xu family has been avoiding.In the eyes of the Xu family, such a cluster of flowers is like cooking oil in a raging fire, and it is inevitable that the family will be ruined and people will die afterwards, and the flowers will fall and people will wither.If so, isn't it all Xu Yunjin's fault?

How did Shi Junji know that Xu Yunjin thought of that matter, he only thought that Xu Yunjin was disturbed because of Yin Yuli's matter.
