The sea also has its own time, and the stone also has its own time. What kind of friendship does not break? What kind of friendship is the most trustworthy in the world, and the friendship is the most trustworthy. Because the one who hurts you the most is the person you trust the most. Once a person turns against each other, it is faster than turning a book, and once it reaches the interests, friendship can be sold, but the price is higher.

Yun Xiao weaved a huge net, which included the emperor, the queen mother, the princess, the emperor's most favored ministers and the queen mother's most favored palace servants. What strung them together was interests, whether it was Wei Qing or Huo Qubing. All the war generals who could be famous in history were the emperor's caring and trusting people. However, there were exceptions, such as Yue Fei.

Since he learned that Li Guang also took the kickbacks, Yun Xiao has maintained a certain degree of suspicion about the moral level of the ancients.

It was the Chinese New Year, and there were still few cars and horses in front of Yun’s house. However, in the backyard, there were two people closest to the center of Dahan’s power sitting.

"I have to thank Lord Wei for the disaster this time. I will drink this glass of Mr. Xie Yun and Lord Wei first." Yinggu opened his mouth and killed the wine in the glass, drinking it freely and generously without any caution with the Empress Dowager.

Yun Xiao responded with a glass, a cruel woman. She didn't blink her eyelids for poisoning her lover. Yun Xiao had no doubt that this woman could drink with her today and could also penetrate a knife into her heart in the future.

Yinggu transformed into a bold woman, but she endured the life of the palace, which made her endure very hard. Every day, living in a terrifying environment, she would torture a good person into a pervert. There would never be Yinggu’s seat at the banquet in the palace. She could only kneel beside the queen mother and cook vegetables for the queen mother. She also had to figure out what the queen mother wanted to eat. She would feed her carefully, and she would be exhausted to death at no banquet.

However, it was through this skill of serving people that she had today's status and could only sit with a marquis of a great man and a high-ranking official of two thousand stones to drink.

"For this second glass of wine, I want to pay tribute to the Marquis alone. Thank you for your shares, so that I can rely on me. Although the empress dowager also rewarded some land, those that were not enough to get stuck in the teeth, so the Marquis was still generous. But this casual leak was enough for me to eat and drink for a lifetime."

"Where, where. Yun Xiao still needs to take care of her aunt, and the aunt in front of the empress dowager will have to say more kind words to Yun Xiao."

"That's natural. The marquis will never forget my family's kindness."

Yinggu was having a great time drinking. She kept pushing cups with Yun Xiao and Wei Wan. Some secrets of the palace were revealed from time to time. She heard Yun Xiao’s eyes flashing with a strong gossip fire. It turned out that beautiful Wang had married and had children before entering the palace. It turned out that Concubine Li raised several beauties with character and was often sleeping with Liu Qida. It turned out that Cheng Ji and Tang Ji...

There were so many things that Yun Xiao even Wei Wan, who was a big spy leader, listened with relish. She bit off a few chopsticks in her hand, which made Huan Niang on the side often set up bowls and chopsticks for this adult.

If you drink too much, you will naturally talk more. Yinggu's mouth is getting less and less, and Huan Niang, who is responsible for serving the house, hurriedly reminds her.

"Auntie, this wine is very strong. You will rush back to Chang'an tonight. If you bring wine, you will not be able to explain it."

"Oh, I forgot about the greed for a moment. Thank you for reminding me that the Marquis's family has gone back to Chang'an. I really can't bear to give up the Yun family's delicacy. After saying that, I picked up another fried rice ball from the plate."

"Oh, my aunt has prepared these things and can take them away together."

"Mr. Yun is careful. I have said goodbye. Tomorrow is the New Year's Day. I wish Mr. Yun and Lord Wei a good fortune and high-ranking officials will live and enjoy peace forever."

"Thank you, thank you."

Wei Wan and Yun Xiao hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting. Yinggu left the Yun family with a burp and got on the carriage and went back to Chang'an.

"Old Wei, there are so many strange stories in the palace. I haven't heard you say it, it's not interesting."

"Strange news? You dare to say this. If you gossip about such things, you will be beheaded. The Tingwei Office supervises the court officials in the world, but the imperial palace is an exception. Whether it is the Weiyang Palace or the Changle Palace, it is the forbidden area of ​​the Tingwei Office. However, there are only these two places in the world that our Tingwei Office cannot go, and the rest of the places have not been hidden from our Tingwei Office.

I heard that King Dong'ou has sent Liu Bian's head over. I heard that it was Ju Meng's hand. I think the mastermind behind it must be Zhou Yafu."

"Everyone knows the relationship between Ju Meng and Zhou Yafu. If you have such a guess, you cannot be smart. I think that since the south is stable, the court should further reduce the vassals in the next step. Then, it is time to deal with the Huns in the north."

"Where is it so fast? The biggest and strongest prince is King Liang. It's difficult to cut off the Liang king's vassal. Look, King Liang is going to enter the capital again. There is another bloody storm in Chang'an City. Fortunately, I hid here. Let that guy Zhidu do it for life."

The two looked at each other and smiled, bowed their hands and went back to rest.

"I'm back, how are the things done?"

"Empress Dowager, you haven't had a rest yet. Things are going well. You can rest. I will tell you tomorrow."

"It's okay, tell me. This person is young when he gets older. Two or three hours a day is enough. Yes, have you drunk?"

"I have had a few drinks with Marquis of Lintong and Lord Wei. I have read all the things you ordered by the Queen Mother."

"Then talk to me, I can't sleep anyway."

"How to say it? The Yunjiazhuang feels that he is energetic. How do you say that word..."

“Rare to prosper.”

"I am a little knowledgeable person or the empress dowager mentioned it, this is the word. When I walk in Yunjiazhuang, I feel that the people there walk differently than in Chang'an City. Even the older ones are very energetic when walking. Compared with other farmers, I have never seen such spirits.

Now I believe that Lintong Hou is a knowledgeable person. I will talk about the match factory he made. After seeing this, I saw that they were all old, weak, women and children. There are only a dozen strong laborers, and each match is used for consumables. If there is no more at home, I can only buy it. With this thing, no one can use those flints.

According to my estimate, it is not considered a foreign land. It is just Chang'an, I am afraid that it will consume less than one million boxes a year. If Luoyang and other towns are added, I dare not think about the whole number. No wonder he wanted to find His Majesty and the Empress Dowager as a backer. People will be jealous of such a big profit. He also gave me 10% of the membership, and I took it. There should be more investment in the palace, and you are living a little too simple. "

"It's no big deal. When the emperor asked, he said I asked you to take it. After all these years of being with me, what should you do if you lose your old body? When you first followed me, you were only six years old and you entered the palace at the age of sixteen. You were only eight years old. You were beaten and scolded for decades. The emperor was raised by you, and you had no children. While you were still alive, you left some money for you, the elderly. Save that the old body would be gone in the future and you were rolled to the eye."

"No, Queen Mother, you will definitely live a hundred years old."

Yinggu held the empress dowager's hand, tears rolling down her eyes, her voice choked and unable to control herself.

The Queen Mother stroked Yinggu's head like she was stroking her beloved cat and patted her twice.

"Stop talking about this during the Chinese New Year. Let's continue to talk about the Yun family you just mentioned. I really want to hear about it."

The Queen Mother woke up from her initial sigh. The expression of feelings was a luxury for her, and enjoying it for a while was enough.

Yinggu wiped the tears from her face and continued.

"Oh, the Yun family's village is really rich. I watched it from house to house, and almost every family had endless rice and grain. The farmers rushed to send their daughters and sons to the Marquis' house to be servants, which I had never seen before.

The Marquis of Lintong took his servants around the village. When the merchants saw him, they would put down their work and salute him. I could see that this had nothing to do with status and they really respected such a manor. But it was strange that the Yun family's fiefdom was very large. However, only his family's farm and his father-in-law Yan's farm were so rich. The other farms in the fiefdom were just food and clothing, and they were definitely not rich.

I felt that the Marquis of Lintong seemed to have done it intentionally and deliberately did not let his fiefdom be too rich. Otherwise, with his ability, he would not be able to turn his fief into Zhuangzi. I can't figure it out, and I don't know what happened."

"You don't understand. He is giving comparisons to the people in the Yun family's village. Only when there is comparison and comparison can you know that a grain of rice is hard to come by, and the merchants will support him as the owner. At the same time, it is also to eliminate the court's vigilance. If he makes the entire fiefdom regard him as the main person, you think the court can tolerate him. If he has a strange intention, the court will raise his arms and shout out to the court in the side of Chang'an City.

He is a dedicated and considers everything. He is indeed a person with extremely high intelligence."

"Oh by the way, he also made a transparent thing in his house. Lintong Hou called it glass, and this thing can actually be translucent. It is inlaid on the window to hide from wind and rain, and people inside look outside. The sun is full of the room during the day, making the room warm. There is no need to light a candle, this is a good thing. But Lintong Hou said that this thing is extremely precious. It can't be picked a lot in a year, and I don't know how he picked it."

"Oh, there is such a thing in the world? What a pity that I'm old and can't see it. Otherwise, I must go to the Yun family to see it with my own eyes."

"His family also built a shed with glass, and even those who could grow green vegetables in the middle of winter. Today, I ate the cucumbers he grew from, and it was even more sensible than those offered by Wen Tangjian.
