As soon as Chen Qikun said these words, Le Chao was stunned.
After all, Chen Qikun was his old subordinate. Although the words he spoke were a bit unpleasant, these words really awakened the dreamer.
Indeed, he could not be the Prime Minister of Wu State for the rest of his life, he would eventually be promoted.
Maybe three years, maybe two years, or even less. This is almost the rule in the court. After serving as a prince and prime minister, when you get to the court, you can at least be regarded as a censor.
At this time, of course, he has great power and can be powerful. Once he enters Chang'an City, things will be completely reversed.
Although the imperial censor is noble, his real power is really limited!
Behind Jinxiu Bank, it is not just Liu Deng alone. The prince and Liu Deng are almost wearing a pair of trousers, plus the eldest princess, Prince Liang, and dozens of princes in Chang'an City.
If you pull out any one of these people at random, you can almost press him to the ground and rub him.
What's more, these people are now both prosperous and destructive. As long as one of them is provoked, the rest will probably immediately attack in groups.
In the face of such huge interests, it is simply natural for the party to work together and oppose differences.
He has been immersed in the court for so many years, so of course he will not understand this truth.
When he thought of this, he actually broke into a cold sweat.
But he has already taken matters into his own hands. Even if he wants to push it forward at this time, I'm afraid Yang Sheng won't agree.
But no matter what, if this matter is not settled quickly at this time, what will Liu Bi think of himself?
Of course he was going to Chang'an, but whether he went there in a glorious way or whether he was taken there in a prison car were completely different things.
He didn't have much background in the court and was able to get to where he is today. He relied entirely on his own efforts, the emperor's appreciation, and good luck.
Another thing is that although he comes from a wealthy family, his lineage has now declined and he does not have a deep background. This is something Liu Bi values very much.
To put it bluntly, you can use it when it is useful and kick it away when it is not, and there is no scruple.
He himself knew this. Wasn't it because he wanted to push Dou Ying out when Liu Bi helped him rise?
After analyzing the cause and effect, Le Chao was dumbfounded.
He really dug a hole for himself and buried himself. This was basically like roasting himself on top of the stove. But how on earth was he going to complete this task?
"Prime Minister, someone sent a letter outside the door!"
Just when Lechao looked sad, someone suddenly came to report outside the door.
"Believe it or not, don't you know I'm discussing a big deal? Get out of here!"
Le Chao growled a little irritably.
"Prime Minister, the person who is sending the letter to the Prime Minister at this time is either someone with ulterior motives or someone with a bad intention. Why don't you take a look before talking about it?"
"That makes sense, please submit it!"
Le Chao finally calmed down and asked someone to bring the letter up. Soon the servant at home came in holding a big wooden box.
This thing looks very inconspicuous, from the materials to the workmanship, there is almost nothing conspicuous about it.
The outer shell is extremely simple, without any patterns. If you want to get some clues from it, forget it...
However, after opening the wooden box and reading the contents of the letter, Le Chao suddenly felt ecstatic.
"Why is Prime Minister so happy!"
"Come and see!"
Le Chao didn't say anything else, he just handed over the letter in his hand, and there was more than just such empty news in the wooden box.
The guy made it even more clear that the rest was his meeting gift for Le Chao.
"Where is the messenger?"
Le Chao came immediately, interested and asked the servant quickly.
"The man who reported back to the Prime Minister put down his things and turned around and left. Our people didn't stop him..."
"A bunch of trash!"
Le Chao suddenly fell silent. Who is it?
What comes with this wooden box is the bank's account book for the recent period. It is impossible for ordinary people to have access to this kind of thing.
So for what purpose did the other party tell me this matter?
If he didn't figure this out, Le Chao's psychology would really be in jeopardy.
"What do you think?"
After hesitating for a long time, Le Chao asked.
"If all this is true, just from the numbers, it should be Liu Deng who is playing a big game. His Highness, the Acting King, will never aim without aim. He has spent so much money. I think he There must be some inside information..."
No matter how rich Liu Deng is, he can't just throw millions and tens of millions of wealth into the river for fun.
After having this preconceived concept, and then pushing the matter backwards, Le Chao finally felt a little confident.
"Then if it is what you say, then this matter must be reported to the king as soon as possible!"
"But if this matter comes to the King now, how can we show the Prime Minister's ability? What's more, Mr. Prime Minister, you have not found the person who sent the letter. If the King asks, how do you know? When the time comes, you will really be unable to argue!"
After thinking about it like this, Le Chao was really stunned and said this, then this matter is really troublesome.
"Then what should Ben do?"
Le Chao asked quickly.
"Master Xiang, from a humble perspective, you might as well..."
When Chen Qikun said this, he lowered his voice, came to Le Chao's ear, and whispered softly.
"It's indeed a brilliant idea! I'll go find the king right now!"
After hearing this, Le Chao couldn't help but marvel. Why didn't he think of it? This guy is indeed a talent. It seems that when he leaves office, he can recommend him to King Wu.
"Master Prime Minister, you must remember that this job must not fall into your own hands. Whose is this hot potato? It's better to let him take over it himself!"
"Yes, that makes sense! Hahahaha!"
Le Chao burst out laughing.
——————————
On the other side of Guangling City, the newly opened Jinxiu Bank is really deserted now.
It has been three days since it opened, but until now, not even a single customer has come to the door.
Businessmen from the Dai Kingdom generally would not take the Wu Kingdom route, and those Wu Kingdom merchants had all become customers of Guangling Bank early on.
As for the people in this city, although they have heard of the word "bank", they just watch the excitement. They are not really allowed to come in to save and borrow money, let alone whether they have money.
Even if they were asked to come in and take a look, they would all stay far away, for fear of causing trouble...
"Girl, it's been three days, but we still haven't seen any improvement here. Do you think we should think of other ways..."
