Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

"Next time, next time, next time I will definitely take care of my spleen with my uncle."

Yuan Congqian still refused, but Lao Li directly took the glass of wine, which was considered a solution.

Yan Junyan shook the wine in the cup, drank it all, and muttered:

"Cong Qian, every time I ask you to drink, you refuse to drink. How can a man not drink? Last night, I hosted a banquet for those two Ursus men, and eight of them fell down drunk. They all surrendered! Even the blond guard didn't even make a move!"

Yuan Congqian was curious: "Shouldn't receiving foreign guests be the responsibility of the Honglu Temple?"

"I am the Grand Herald."

Yan Junyan glanced at Yuan Congqian sideways.

Li Cunshan crossed the hand holding the empty cup with his other hand, and when he opened his hands again, both of his hands were empty. He touched the table, and the cup reappeared on the table, filled with black carbonated soda with bubbles, like cola.

He performed some tricks.

While Yan Junyan was attracted by the coke, Lao Li pulled Yuan Congqian over and whispered, "Yuan Congqian, I have an appointment with the civil engineer of the Tianshi Mansion in the capital at the hour of Mao in the morning. I have something to ask you. The Shaofu gave you 10 million taels. Can you tell me the truth in exchange?"

"Excuse me." Yuan Congqian opened his hand.

"Who did this to your family?"

Lao Li lowered his head, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses.

He was shocked when he first heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think that Yuan Congqian was really cruel enough to kill all his servants in exchange for the Western pharmacy.

From the impression he had of this Yuan family relative, he could only be described as a meticulous thinker with a set of bluffing schemes that were linked together and continuous. Secondly, he was not greedy for food or women, so this kind of person must have a bigger goal.

He wanted to decree a monopoly on Western medicine, and there were better ways to do it.

Yuan Congqian chuckled, pointed at the ceiling, and then turned his finger counterclockwise to the left.

Li Cunshan's eyes widened: "General Zuo?!"

"Why? Is it strange?" Yuan Congqian said indifferently.

As for the relatives by marriage, they depended entirely on the emperor's mood. Only when the empress became the empress dowager did they have some deterrent power. On the contrary, most of the court officials hated the relatives by marriage. After all, the relatives by marriage were very suitable to be the chicken that frightened the monkey. From this point of view, the relatives by marriage were simply a replica of the eunuchs.

"You are a relative by marriage! How dare Fu touch you? Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will exterminate his clan?"

"What if it was His Majesty who moved me?"

Yuan Congqian tilted his head and looked at Lao Li, sneering: "Since my father Yuan Tianshi took charge of the Tianshi Mansion in the capital, the status of the two Fu family members has risen. Now ten years have passed, my father died earlier than the emperor expected, but the people of the Fu family have become two generals because of their merits!"

Lao Li's brain was spinning rapidly, and at this moment he only hated himself for not thinking enough:

"Your Majesty personally supported him to check and balance Yuan Tianshi... Then why would he kill you?"

....................................

Chapter 40 I will give you the posthumous title of Spiritual Emperor

"The Fu brothers were supported by the emperor to balance against Yuan Tianshi, but Yuan Tianshi died earlier than expected, so the emperor wanted me to deal with them and consolidate power. If I succeed, I will be a helper to the next generation of emperors because I am his cousin."

Yuan Congqian said calmly, "If I fail, and the Fu brothers defeat me, the Queen's family will no longer have direct descendants, which will also be beneficial to the succeeding emperor. The True Dragon will not lack people who are only willing to be loyal, and the influence of the mother's family on the government will be reduced. Isn't it a good thing?"

The three clans of the ministers are not wholesale.

How could he dare to take action against his relatives without the emperor's tacit consent?

The Left General Fu Tingzhao's action against Yuan Congqian must have been approved by the emperor. Yuan Congqian had already seen at home that he and Fu must choose to die. Even if he did not spread rumors, the general and the left general would come to kill him in order to live longer.

Moreover, if the Fu brothers were not careful when using overt or covert means to deal with Yuan Congqian and revealed that they were the ones who killed the foreign relatives...the emperor could not only take back the power of the Taiwei Mansion and the Simaitai, but also directly sentence the Fu brothers to death.

Is it more than just winning twice, three times, or four times?

"Now, do you regret asking me?"

Yuan Congqian looked at Lao Li with a playful expression.

Since traveling through time and figuring out his own situation, Yuan Congqian has not had a good night's sleep.

It seemed that he had used the unfounded Xuanwu Gate Incident to stir up trouble in the capital, but in fact, the sword and axe had already come to Yuan Congqian's neck. Thanks to the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he had the capital to continue playing. The emperor was a power animal, with no family affection to speak of, and relatives by marriage were tools that were easier to use than eunuchs.

In history, if you study carefully, you will find that those were actually when the Empress Dowager was in power. The Empress Dowager was the one who could influence the government, and the Empress Dowager's family was the one who was prominent. When the Emperor was in power, the Empress' family was just the Emperor's running dogs, right?

Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han, who had experienced the division of power by the Empress Dowager, directly killed Liu Fuling's biological mother after establishing him. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were also many cruel political events of "establishing a son and killing the mother", all because the status of the relatives of the emperor would be upgraded as the queen was promoted to the empress dowager.

What they were afraid of was that the young Liu Fuling would have an empress dowager above his head.

Sweat was pouring down Lao Li's forehead.

He really didn't expect that Yuan Congqian would give such a horrible interpretation of General Zuo's assassination attempt on him.

However, when he thought about it carefully, what frightened him even more was that Yuan Congqian's interpretation made a lot of sense, even logical.

The emperor did not want to kill the Fu brothers himself, which would make the political situation in the capital ugly and affect his reputation as a benevolent monarch. However, being indifferent to the maternal relatives was undoubtedly a symbol of justice in the eyes of the court, because the maternal relatives were superior to the court officials, and they were afraid of them.

"Let me ask you, what is the last part of the rumor that has been widely circulated in the capital recently?"

Yuan Congqian suddenly asked.

Lao Li was sweating profusely and was a little afraid to answer. Yuan Congqian kept staring at him, so he could only whisper: "General Zuo laid an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, and took advantage of the time when Zhenlong summoned Duke Wei to attend a banquet with you, and shot him dead in one fell swoop. Then he followed Duke Shu into the hall to pay homage to Zhenlong, and punched Zhenlong three times..."

Yuan Congqian not only stitched together the deeds of Yuchi Gong, who shot and killed Li Yuanji in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but also the deeds of Gao Cheng, a powerful official of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Gao Cheng controlled the government of Eastern Wei and drank with the puppet emperor.

Gao Cheng was drunk, holding a bottle of wine and yelling at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I advise you to drink." The emperor was angered by his tone and responded, "Since ancient times, there has been no country that has not perished. What is the point of my life!" It's just that the king can be killed but not humiliated. If you, Gao Cheng, usurp the country, your descendants will be like me.

Gao Cheng immediately cursed back, "I, I, you dog-footed I!" and ordered his attendant Cui Zhu to rush forward and beat the emperor, which became a famous historical meme, "Beat the Emperor with Three Punches."

Just shooting the emperor's eldest son was enough to be a serious enough crime. However, Yuan Congqian also asked him to beat the emperor, force the emperor to abdicate with the Duke of Shu, and question why the emperor favored the Duke of Wei. How could General Zuo bear such astonishing wealth and glory?

After Li Cunshan finished speaking, he felt his mouth was a little dry.

He discovered that Yuan Congqian and Zhenlong seemed to be playing a bigger game than he had imagined!

Seeing Lao Li fall into silence, Yuan Congqian smiled.

In addition to the Queen's family, the Princess's son is also a member of the Empress's family. In the history of the past, the Princess's son would continue to marry the Princess to maintain his wealth and noble bloodline. He is not the only Empress's family member present.

Lao Li knew what happened to Yuan Congqian. How does he feel now?

Li Cunshan was obviously having a fierce ideological struggle, accepting a feudal empire political struggle game that he had never played before. He originally played a businessman, and only needed to focus on how to make money and how to attack his peer Yan Junyan. Now he found that the version seemed to be wrong.

"What about me?" Li Cunshan and Yuan Congqian moved a little closer, looking nervous.

Yuan Congqian patted Pa Laoli's shoulder and pushed him away: "Brother Li, you are different from me. You are a money bag raised by the real dragon, and you are precious! Until the next generation of real dragons succeeds to the throne, the emperor will never let you fall. You are much safer than me."

Li Cunshan crushed the cup in his hand with a snap.

Of course he could understand what Yuan Congqian meant.

Until the next generation of the true dragon succeeds to the throne, the emperor will not let the carp die well. What if one of the Duke of Wei or the Duke of Shu succeeds to the throne? At that time, it will be the domestic plot that everyone loves to see: the carp falls down, and the Duke of Shu is full.

Yuan Congqian would not live long enough to see the next generation of true dragon succeed to the throne, while Lao Li would only live long enough to see the next generation of true dragon succeed to the throne.

"Is there no way out?"

Li Cunshan refused to give up, but Yuan Congqian directly shattered his fantasy:

"The Great Yan Ministry of Revenue is short of money, and your Li family has been doing business for generations and is very wealthy. How could such a coincidence happen in this land?"

"......" Lao Li fell into a long silence.

Looking at Li Cunshan's deflated expression, Yuan Congqian wanted to laugh, but he held back because he was a relative by marriage.

As for Zhenlong, he wants to attack the Fu family. Perhaps it is because he does not have much time left and is afraid that he will not live longer than his Fu brothers?

"I will give you the posthumous title of Emperor Ling."

This was the only thing Yuan Congqian wanted to say to Zhenlong.

Like fame and play the political games of Wuwei?

In addition to settling accounts with the Fu brothers, Yuan Congqian, the True Dragon of this generation, must also be settled. Yuan Congqian is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the history books being deceived. After he gained the right to speak, he gave the respected True Dragon a posthumous title of "Ling" (a word that means chaos but not damage), and forbade him to enter the Yan State ancestral temple for worship for another ten thousand years.

Yan Junyan left the pharmacy at some point, and when he came back, he was just at the end of the conversation between Li Cunshan and Yuan Congqian. He was full of joy, as if bathed in spring breeze, and strode in: "It's really a blessing in disguise!"

Yuan Congqian smiled and asked, "What's the good news?"

"Several civil engineers are in the capital today, and I invited them all to come. The western medicine store will probably be rebuilt by dusk." Yan Junyan looked lucky and in a good mood, "Also, the Wrights from Columbia are here too!"

"Really?"

Yuan Congqian stood up directly.

Did the Wrights really get exchanged out by his redemption code?

....................................

Chapter 41: Pero, Filin, and Sarkaz

Seeing Yan Junyan, Li Cunshan grinned with great effort, "I drank your wine and I feel a little dizzy. What's going on? Yan Junyan, did you spend less money on wine and buy fake wine from the East?"

"You fart!"

Yan Junyan cursed directly.

"Why would I lie to you? I'm feeling really dizzy right now."

Lao Li stood up unsteadily, but didn't even stand steadily, and sat back down.

Yan Junyan frowned and called the official from the Honglu Temple: "I didn't poison you! I gave this to Congqian. Stop talking nonsense here, or I'll knock your plaque off with one punch. What's the matter, do you have something to go back for?"

"I haven't slept yet. I'll go back after I hand over the title deed here to you today."

Lao Li snapped his fingers, and a property deed appeared in his hand, which he placed on the table. "If you have anything to do, go find the officials of the Shaofu. You can contact the Tianshi Mansion anyway. I see there is nothing for me to do here, so I'll go back first."

"Ah, didn't we agree to come here and drink together? Wait!"

Without waiting for Yuan Congqian and his Uncle Yan to react, Lao Li ran away as fast as a cow in pain.

Yan Junyan was stunned, his hands frozen in mid-air.

No, what happened?

Could it be that Lao Li really drank it, and drank it with Yuan Congqian, without me?

Yuan Congqian smiled and said, "Look at this Lao Li. He can even get drunk after drinking one glass of Eastern sake. He is really too lame."

The official from the Honglu Temple who was called in scratched his head, and saluted first to the Zongzheng and Honglu Temple Minister, and then to Yuan Congqian. After the court discussion, the Western Pharmacy was assigned to the Shaofu Menxia, ​​with left and right chancellors. Yuan Congqian is now the right chancellor of the Western Pharmacy, a fourth-rank official.

He already holds an official position, doesn't he? He is too much of a student.

The Honglu Temple official said: "The two Colombians have been placed in the guild hall near the Honglu Temple. They are accompanied by two researchers, one Sakaz and one Filin. Filin can speak Mandarin, which saves us a lot of trouble."

Yuan Congqian nodded to him, turned around and looked at Yan Junyan and said, "Uncle, the Wrights' laboratory must be built as soon as possible. All research on aerospace is inseparable from materials science. We can build a materials science laboratory first, and we can use the materials science results to realize them."

As for the Sarkaz and Filin mentioned by the officials, Yuan Congqian didn't care much about them.

The Flin are distributed all over Terra, and are the most common race. There are many Flin nobles and Flin civilians. The Sarkaz have always been hated by everyone. Except for their hometown Kazdel, only Columbia, which is known for its openness and freedom, is willing to accept the Sarkaz.

There are also Sarkaz in Yan Country.

A certain demon king once led a Sarkaz tribe eastward, and later took root in the desert in the northwest of Yan Country, changing their name to the independent race Anassa. In contrast, the Yan people are more accepting of the Sarkaz.

Yan Junyan frowned and thought for a moment: "Dayan has a materials science laboratory in the Ministry of Industry. Materials science should be the translation of Longmen. The Beijing Municipal Government calls materials science and engineering "Gewuxue". The Ministry of Industry also has a Gewuyuan as a research laboratory."

Yuan Congqian was a little confused when he heard this: "What about the subjects related to the properties of objects?"

"Natural science."

"What about biology-related subjects?"

“Evolution.”

Yan Junyan had studied abroad in Victoria and Columbia, and answered questions fluently.

Yuan Congqian was a little speechless when he heard the translations from Yan, which were very different from the previous life. Fortunately, the Yan people have not taken the initiative to add some elegant and quaint translations to aerospace science, such as Feitianxue. Thank them, thank the Yan people.

"The Ministry of Industry and the Western Pharmacy still need to be separated, so we can build our own laboratory."

"Laboratories are very expensive. Uncle's investment is not for you to waste, Congqian."

"We should not only build laboratories, but also build the most advanced laboratories that are ahead of other countries. Otherwise, how can we attract foreigners to come to study inflammation?"

"Okay." Yan Junyan couldn't argue with Yuan Congqian, so he nodded.

Yuan Congqian looked at the Honglu Temple official again:

"Those two Colombians, could you please arrange a banquet? I want to meet them."

"Yes. They arrived last night. I think they have rested all night and are now waiting to see you, my dear."
