Chapter 920 Killing the crisis (2)
"If it wasn't for the first generation of Empress Du, how could shipping hurt people's strength and empty the treasury, so why would shipping be banned? But if shipping is banned, who's pockets will be enriched by smuggling, and who is in control of Haiphong?"

When Baili Lingfeng heard the words, he was startled for a moment: "Are you suspecting that the ban on shipping is a conspiracy laid by the Du family from the very beginning?"

Qiu Yebai looked at him, and snorted coldly in his eyes: "Even if the Mei family has collapsed now, can you see that the Du family's financial resources seem to be blocked? People die for money, and birds die for food. They lost their status as imperial merchants." To make money, why are there so many people willing to work and work for them?"

Ah Chu spent more than ten years cultivating the Fengxing Department, just to replace the Mei family one day.

But is this easy?

Although the Mei family fell, but even if it was done so quickly, Feng Xingsi actually controlled the Mei family's assets in the end, but only more than [-]% of the estimated, not as many as imagined.

It can be seen that Mei Su's thoughts are astonishingly deep, the Three Caves of the Rabbit, when the Du family was still in its heyday, began to plan the way out for many years.

She sighed softly, after all, she was in the court too shortly, and took over Fengxing Division for even less time, so she didn't know the way of business.

Otherwise, if Ah Chu hadn't fallen asleep, the Mei family would not be able to enjoy themselves as they are now!

"..." Baili Lingfeng was thoughtful.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes were cold: "Ye Bai is right. How could ordinary people think of arranging a dead soldier who faked his death? Even I can't deny that Mei Su is thoughtful and talented. There is Shuaige in the room, which only shows that he has great ambitions, and he will never be willing to let Qianlong stay in the wild."

"It's not only that we can't estimate the real loss of the Mei family, even though the Du family has been severely damaged, their financial resources are still abundant." She said coldly.

Baili Lingfeng looked at Qiu Yebai and sighed softly: "Ye Bai, you are a human being, not a god. Even if you are a genius like His Highness Sheguo, he has been in the court for more than ten years. This is his Although I don't understand why His Royal Highness could have cleaned up the Du family and the Mei family long ago, he stayed behind."

He paused, then raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm: "But since it was his decision, it probably has his reasons, His Highness's thinking is not something we ordinary people can understand, but this game is not yours." Assuming that you took over temporarily, it is already very good to be able to do this.”

Qiu Yebai looked at the sarcasm in Baili Lingfeng's eyes, and sighed softly in her heart, no wonder Lingfeng had complicated feelings for Ah Chu, and looking at it now, I'm afraid it was more puzzled and disgusted than helpless.

Ah Chu is a person who does whatever he wants, even today, she may not be able to fully understand his thinking mode, after all, his growth environment is too different from ordinary people.

She only knew that Ah Chu had a strange pattern in his mind, and he acted eclecticly, but he must be far-sighted and never play uncertain accounts!
Baili Lingfeng looked at Qiu Yebai's expression calmly, and then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, if the Du family has been in power since the first generation of Empress Du, they would have already laid it out like this. It can be seen that the ambition is extraordinary, I'm afraid..."

"Your Highness." Li Mu broke in with a low voice, interrupting their conversation.

Seeing Baili Lingfeng and Qiu Yebai looking at him, he raised his hand and saluted briefly, then said in a low voice: "This is not a place to talk after all, Your Highness, my lord, let's change to another place, my subordinates and Lord Chang , Mr. Zhou has already found a small tea room suitable for talking!"

Although here are all people from their own faction, they are divided into distant and close relatives, and they are not core members of the party, so some words are not appropriate to hear.

Qiu Yebai and Baili Lingfeng looked at each other, nodded slightly, then got up and followed Li Mu to the small tea room in the Nuan Pavilion.

Sure enough, there were guards watching from outside the tea room. Zhou Yu, Master Chang, Qi Guang, Lao Chang and others were all waiting in the room. Get up and salute.

"It's all my own people, so don't be polite." King Qi waved his hand.

Akiba also nodded in agreement.

After everyone sat down, Li Mu continued to take over the conversation just now, and said with a serious expression: "I have always felt that the Du family is afraid that they not only want a prince with the blood of the Du family to occupy the throne and maintain the status of the first family in a century, but have The heart of disobedience who seeks to usurp the throne."

"Li Mu is right. If the Du family can endure and take every step of the way from the first generation of Empress Du, it would be ridiculous and underestimate their ambitions if they say that they just want to be prosperous and rich." Baili Lingfeng Sharp eyes.

Zhou Yu also nodded simply: "That's right, maybe it's just that the time is not ripe now. As the so-called Sima Yi's heart is known to passers-by, when the Sima family replaced Cao Wei and waited for four generations of emperors, why couldn't the Du family afford to wait? Speaking of which, they have waited for several generations, and now they have accumulated enough strength!"

Qiu Yebai glanced at everyone, then at Baili Lingfeng, and said seriously: "So now I want to open shipping and revitalize the sea trade, just to cut off the Du family's gold source!"

She understands that Baili Lingfeng is the royal family after all, and she also knows that he is hesitating. Today they took the opportunity of attending the Hundred Days Banquet to get together, hoping to reach a unified opinion. And opposition must also represent the ideas of many of them.

Shipping by sea is a major event, and now they can't reach an agreement within their own factions, I'm afraid that external forces will be more powerful to stop them.

Everyone glanced at each other and saw some hesitation in each other's eyes.

Duke Chang said directly: "Not to mention anything else, but I'm afraid it will not be easy for His Majesty to agree."

His Majesty the Emperor is the number one opponent of shipping and sea trade.

Qiu Ye paused for a moment, then sighed softly: "Your Majesty is a stubborn person."

After the emperor heard her proposal and explanation, he still insisted not to ship by sea, because when he was young, he took the opportunity to go out of the palace to travel in Haiphong, but was caught by Japanese pirates and escaped after a narrow escape. , firmly believe that shipping is a scourge!

Baili Lingfeng looked at her, his sharp eyes shining brightly: "Ye Bai, we will fully support you, but you have to understand that a lot of this support will come from me under pressure, and father He's totally against shipping, and you should know how much resistance you're going to meet."

When she heard this, she nodded slightly: "Thank you Ling Feng, as for Your Majesty..."

The emperor was so stubborn that she really wanted to call Bailichu and put a hundred dead heads in his father's room, so as to frighten him out of his wits.

"But, I'll convince him." She narrowed her eyes slightly.

In the more than a year since she took over the government, the Du family has become more and more restless, especially after the loss of King Qi in August last year, Duke Xiang's secret actions have become more frequent.
