Back at home, Xiao Yu directly called Xiao Ran to the study.
Seeing that Xiao Ran still looked confused at this time, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think I shouldn't have treated those people in Jiangnan like that just now?"
"Uh..." Xiao Ran nodded nonchalantly.
Seeing that Xiao Ran still didn't understand his intentions at this time, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, but still taught: "I'm afraid you don't understand Yang Fan's character, so you provoke him again and again, thinking that as long as everyone unites, You can fight him if you are unanimous, but alas, you are totally wrong!"
"Who is Yang Fan? He dares to hit the prince, he dares to hit the ministers, and he makes Zhao Guogong, an old fox, fall into fights again and again. Will he be afraid of you?"
"Besides, go and ask around. When Yang Fan was in Chang'an, there were not many impeachments against him, but he still made money and got promoted."
"This time I will impeach Yang Fan with the Wang family. Even with Chang Sun Wuji's help, I think there is only a 50-50 chance of doing this."
"What's more, given your Changsun Wuji's character, he will definitely keep a hand and cannot fully support you."
"If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it. If you can't defeat Yang Fan, Jiangnan will definitely suffer the consequences. Whoever jumps harder will suffer the greater consequences."
"What's more important is that this son has a very good reputation in the army. Whether it's Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, or even Wei Zheng, an old guy with no experience, he has a special regard for him. It's so hard to overthrow him. It’s difficult.”
"What's more, Yang Fan acts haphazardly without considering the consequences and does not follow the official rules. He almost died in Yuntai Mountain before. If he messes with him again, I'm afraid he will receive his thunderous revenge."
"That's why I didn't express my position in front of everyone just now, just to be sure."
"Besides, this time Yang Fan killed the Huang family's children with great fanfare, and at the same time made people come to ask for money, and made these things known to the whole city. Who knows if it was a trap set by Yang Fan?"
Xiao Yu was good at teaching and teaching the young descendant of the Xiao family in a gentle manner, and analyzed various possibilities for him.
Although this may not be entirely true, it is not completely unreasonable.
Hearing this analysis, Xiao Ran broke out in a cold sweat.
If it was really a trap set by Yang Fan to let all the Jiangnan nobles who opposed him jump out and catch them all, it would be too poisonous.
Yang Fan definitely possesses such wisdom.
As for whether Yang Fan will easily go on a killing spree and cause turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, who dares to bet?
Besides, Yang Fan was already a county prince at a young age, and he even married two high-ranking princesses.
People's eyes are on the temple, and a mere corner of the south of the Yangtze River is just a stepping stone for him.
Even if all the Jiangnan nobles were killed, at most they would only be transferred back to Chang'an by the emperor. Although it would affect their future to some extent, it would definitely not be too big.
But what the Jiangnan nobles are planning is just for profit.
It is certainly not cost-effective to gamble on Yang Fan's future with all the wealth and lives of the Jiangnan nobles.
Xiao Yu has already made it clear to Xiao Ran that he will not take the lead in risking the Xiao family's downfall.
Knowing Xiao Yu's decision, Xiao Ran asked: "Uncle, in your opinion, what should our Xiao family do? Are we just going to do this? What if the Jiangnan nobles really force Yang Fan out of Jiangnan? How should we deal with this?"
Xiao Yu did not answer, but asked: "Is it because of them that our Xiao family can establish a foothold in Jiangnan?"
Xiao Ran understood the implication of Xiao Yu's words and said: "Then are we just going to watch our Jiangnan power be weakened? What should we do if those people have a grudge against our Xiao family in the future?"
Xiao Yu said calmly: "Our Xiao family has reminded them not to go against Yang Fan. Of course, they will bear the consequences themselves."
"After all, we warned everyone not to provoke Yang Fan a long time ago, but no one listened. Who can blame us?"
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and finally understood what Xiao Yu meant.
Indeed, the Xiao family had long warned everyone not to provoke Yang Fan easily, but no one listened.
If the trouble gets out of hand in the future, they can only blame themselves.
Now they wanted to invite Xiao Yu to take the lead, but they didn't dare to say anything even if Xiao Yu refused.
As for the Wang family who danced the most fiercely, Xiao Yu had no time to pay attention to him.
Wang Yu vowed to unite many Jiangnan nobles to impeach Yang Fan, but now he came to Xiao Yu and asked him to take the lead.
Isn't this because the Wang family has earned the reputation, but the Xiao family has to do the work?
In this situation, the matter was completely out of the control of the Wang family, but in the end they had to beg Xiao Yu to come forward with a shameful face.
This is so beautiful!
However, let alone mention it, the leader of the Jiangnan noble clan must be the Xiao family!
The person responsible for Jiangnan’s conversation still has to be Xiao Yu!
As for the Wang family, they are still far from being the leader of Jiangnan!
The reason why Xiao Ran wanted to suppress Yang Fan together was because he wanted to restore the reputation of the Xiao family and show off the Xiao family's muscles to the Jiangnan nobles.
Since the Xiao family has always been the leader of the Jiangnan noble clan, why bother showing off their muscles!
After figuring this out, Xiao Ran stopped mentioning the impeachment of Yang Fan.
Looking at Xiao Ran's understanding expression, Xiao Yu sighed and couldn't help but rub his temples.
As he got older, his energy became less and less than before, but he couldn't really ignore the impeachment of Yang Fan.
As the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, he cannot watch all the Jiangnan gentry jump into the pit of fire, he must leave some kindling!
Alas, when this happened, Xiao Yu decided not to care about Jiangnan anymore, and those guys could make trouble as they wanted.
He didn't want to get involved in the Xiao family's affairs.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
This old man of his has worked hard for the Xiao family for most of his life. If his children and grandchildren fail to live up to his expectations, the family will fall or fall.
He ordered the maid to change into official uniform for him, soaked the handkerchief with clean water, and wiped his face. Xiao Yu cheered up and told Xiao Ran: "I have to go to the palace later. You take this with you." Send a letter back to Jiangnan and give it to the clan elder, saying that this is what I meant."
Xiao Ran was a little surprised and said hesitantly: "Uncle, didn't he say he didn't care about this matter? Why do he still want to enter the palace..."
Xiao Ran originally thought that Xiao Yu's suggestion of entering the palace to inquire about His Majesty's voice was just to comfort those people, but he did not expect that he would actually go there in person.
Xiao Yu explained: "You are still young, have experienced too little, and are too short-sighted."
"This visit to the palace is just to express an attitude. It is also an explanation for the connivance of the Jiangnan nobles."
"As for what to do and how to do it, it's my own business."
"Besides, there is no need to pry into His Majesty's words, because His Majesty will never transfer Yang Fan back easily."
"You guys have no idea about Yang Fan's status in His Majesty's heart. You all just see Yang Fan's age and think that he got lucky by marrying a princess."
"If that's the case, then you are all wrong, because his aura as a prince-in-law makes you ignore his talent and ability."
"What's more important is that this boy knows His Majesty's temper very well, knows how to act, and to what extent he can do it. Hey, he has already been Jane in the emperor's heart. As long as this boy doesn't commit suicide, he will definitely be inferior to tens of thousands of people in the future. Above!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yu murmured to himself with some emotion: "Do you know how old that kid is this year? He is only nineteen years old. He will not be thirty years old in another ten years? He is already a feudal official at a young age. , there are a few people who can do it throughout the ages, if you deal with such people, you are asking for trouble!"
Xiao Ban was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Yu's evaluation of Yang Fan to be so high!
Under one person and above tens of thousands of people?
It is indeed scary!
Doesn't that mean that except for the emperor, even those princes can't compare.
But it is true. Yang Fan is less than twenty. If this continues, taking charge of the center is definitely not an alarmist statement.
What a monster!
Xiao Ran no longer dared to neglect.
I originally wanted to stay in the capital to watch the development of the situation, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. It is better to go back quickly to persuade Mr. Shi!
Quickly changing his clothes, Xiao Ran took Xiao Yu's letter and hurried back to Jiangnan with a group of servants.
…
The early winter in Chang'an has begun to be cold, but the inside of Ganlu Hall is as warm as spring.
The heat mixed with the smell of sandalwood makes people sober.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was holding the memorial in his hand and was so focused on it that he did not even hear Cen Wenwen's announcement.
It was not until Cen Wenwen was worried that the emperor had an accident that he walked in.
Seeing that the emperor was fine, Cen Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief.
As the emperor's secretary, he has a bright future, and Cen Wenwen doesn't want the emperor to have problems at this juncture.
After all, who knows whether the next emperor will reuse him.
There was silence in the palace just now. If the chamberlain hadn't clearly informed the emperor that he was in the palace, he almost thought there was no one there.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the emperor raising his head. Cen Wenwen couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is your majesty looking at, so entranced?"
As he spoke, his eyes kept passing over the memorial in the emperor's hand.
Li Er had a very close relationship with Cen Wenwen, otherwise he would not have appointed Cen Wenwen as a member of Zhongshushe.
You must know that Secretary Lang Qianzhong Shushe is in charge of the confidential documents of the empire.
Generally speaking, the memorials that the emperor consulted had to pass through the hands of Cen Wenwen before being transferred to the emperor's desk.
Obviously, the emperor had never seen the memorial text in his hand.
It shows that this memorial passed directly through the ministries and went directly to the emperor's hands, which is why Cen Wenwen was so curious.
You know, crossing the pavilion to participate in the music is not a right that ordinary people can have.
Seeing Cen Wenwen's curious look, His Majesty Li Er shook the memorial in his hand and said with a wry smile: "This is the memorial that was just delivered today. It was sent by Yang Fan from Jiangnan. As you know, that guy is a jerk. It doesn’t follow common sense at all.”
"Originally, the memorial had to be delivered through the cabinet, but that guy sent it directly to me in the name of urgent military affairs."
"Look, this memorial has hundreds of thousands of words, which is thicker than a book."
"What's more important is that I can't understand a lot of what this guy writes. He's just an asshole."
Hearing His Majesty Li Er tease Yang Fan, Cen Wenwen also laughed.
Unlike others who took a fancy to Yang Fan because of his bright future, Cen Wenwen took a fancy to him because of Li Ke.
As a staunch supporter of Li Ke, Yang Fan has an excellent relationship with Li Ke. Naturally, Cen Wenwen also has a good sense of Yang Fan.
Originally, Cen Wenwen was not a superficial person, because he looked down upon many people who were close to Li Ke.
Somehow, Cen Wenwen had a special affinity for Yang Fan. Even Cen Wenwen himself found it incredible.
In other people's words, maybe the bastard and the mung bean are really in love with each other!
Later, when he came into contact with more information about Yang Fan, Cen Wenwen understood where his good impression came from.
Only geniuses understand the heart of genius...
What's more, Yang Fan's various measures simply surpassed the cognition of Cen Wenwen, a genius.
This is simply the feeling of caring like a close friend.
Only then did Cen Wenwen realize why he always subconsciously had a crush on Yang Fan.
This is not just because of Li Ke... but because this person has amazing talents and is the same type of person as himself.
Looking at the memorial that looked like a book in His Majesty Li Er's hand, Cen Wenwen said curiously: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the Grand Governor has any other suggestions that are beneficial to the empire? Can you give me a look?"
"To be honest, Wei Chen not only admires the talent of the Governor, but also looks forward to his strategies for governing the country!"
His Majesty Li Er said calmly: "Why not? This memorial also needs you to collect it. However, the number of words and content are too many, so it will take some effort."
After saying that, he handed the memorial in his hand to Cen Wenwen, and even asked the maid on the side to bring him a chair.
Cen Wenwen was moved and after being grateful, he carefully read Yang Fan's memorial in front of Li Er.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er was not idle either. He picked up other memorials and continued to read them.
Time passed quietly, and an hour passed quickly.
After Cen Wenwen finished reading the thick memorial, he raised his head and looked at His Majesty Li Er with burning eyes. At the same time, he sighed: "The Governor is extremely talented. What he said is unconstrained and unconstrained, but it is also extremely reasonable. I admire him." .”
Cen Wenwen had a photographic memory. After reading it once, he already knew the contents of the memorial.
This memorial is an explanation and plan for Yang Fan's construction of the economic system framework in Jiangnan.
Although it is currently only implemented in Jiangnan, Cen Wenwen can imagine that once the pilot is successful in Jiangnan, it can definitely be used throughout the Tang Empire.
"Ha ha……"
Hearing Cen Wenwen's praise, Li Er laughed heartily.
In any case, Yang Fan was a talent he discovered.
More importantly, Yang Fan is his son-in-law, and he is already firmly on his chariot.
Of course it feels good to have such a talent working for him.
Putting down the brush in his hand, His Majesty Li Er stretched his body, smiled and said, "Did Aiqing understand the content of Yang Fan's memorial? At this point, I still have only a partial understanding of it. Why don't you tell me your own opinion?"
Cen Wenwen said calmly: "Your Majesty, the amount of information in this memorial is too great, and many of its contents are unknown to me. I can't talk about my opinions. However, I think that the economic and financial center promoted by the Governor in Jiangnan is The plan is indeed good for the Empire.”
"It's just that the situation in Jiangnan is complicated. The strength of the major noble families is intertwined. If you are not careful, you will be blocked. Therefore, Wei Chen feels that there is a long way to go for the success of the Grand Governor's plan."
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed and teased: "You, you, can speak official language now, but you are also right. Although this plan is good, it may not be successful, but that guy Yang Fan can make you say If you can only say "admiration", he is the only one in the world."
Cen Wenwen was an upright and rigorous man who seldom praised others, let alone admired him. It was absolutely unique for Yang Fan's plan to be affirmed by Cen Wenwen.
Hearing this, Cen Wenwen waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculously complimenting me. I am ashamed of myself. Speaking of which, Cen Wenwen is just an ordinary person. How dare you comment on others."
"Besides, although the Grand Governor is young, he is full of talents, and it is reasonable for the ministers to respect him."
"However, His Majesty's ability to select a talent like Yang Fan at Wei Mo is truly discerning. This is what Wei Chen admires the most."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily.
Even if you are used to hearing flattery, who wouldn’t want to hear more of it.
What's more, the words spoken by a talented person like Cen Wenwen, who rarely flatters, are even more sincere.
After laughing, His Majesty Li Er asked: "After all, Aiqing only said that this plan is very good, but have you ever understood the deeper meaning in it?"
Cen Wenwen gently put down the memorial and sighed: "The content in the memorial is every word and every word is mysterious. I have not fully understood it. I still ask your Majesty to clarify my doubts. Alas, no wonder your Majesty often said that the prince-in-law has the talent of being a prime minister. In the past, The weak minister is still a little dissatisfied, but now it seems that the minister is not as good as many!"
Someone who can become the emperor's confidential secretary is naturally a person with an exquisite mind.
Although I understood the content of Yang Fan's memorial, I couldn't say it out loud.
I didn't see that the emperor was eager to try it, he just wanted to talk about the contents.
If you talk about it first without knowing whether to live or die, wouldn't it be a loss of interest to the emperor?
Of course Cen Wenwen would not do such a thankless thing.
Let the emperor show off occasionally, which will please the emperor more.
