The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 136
After retiring from the court, Liu Wei wanted to go home and think about how to deal with Pan Mei's revenge, but Cao Jue insisted on dragging him to find Zhao Chengxu and others for a drink. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and Liu Wei couldn't refuse, so in the end he had to Follow him.

And when Liu Wei, Cao Jue and others gathered for a drink, Pan Mei had already returned to the house.

The people in the house had already received the news, so they greeted him at home early.

It's just that after Pan Mei returned to the mansion, she rejected the others, leaving only Pan Weiji behind. After Pan Weiji saluted Pan Mei, she immediately said: "I don't have an official position yet, so I can't welcome my lord father in the palace. Please calm down, my lord father."

Pan Mei glanced at Pan Weiji, and said, "I'm not angry because of this, but I'm here to ask you, what have you done in the past half a year? Why is Liuwei's business getting bigger and bigger, and its reputation getting better and better?" Gao, and his life is getting better and better? When Wei father left, how did you promise Wei father that you wanted him to die without a place to bury Liu Wei."

Pan Mei was a little angry, but Pan Weiji didn't show any panic because of this, but said calmly: "My lord father taught me a lesson, it's because my son failed to handle this matter well."

Pan Weiji didn't explain, nor did she make excuses for herself, which surprised Pan Mei, and finally asked after a long time: "Tell me what's going on."

Pan Weiji seemed to have expected that Pan Mei would ask this question, so he finally explained to himself: "After the father left, the son tried many times on Liu Wei and looked for opportunities to harm him, but what the son didn't expect was that Liu Wei's ability was better than that of Liu Wei. We believe that the older one is much older, and the son has fought against him many times, and he won less and lost more, so he was not able to kill him to avenge his brother."

Pan Mei also heard about Liu Wei's stay in the capital during this time. If a person's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, he will naturally be difficult to deal with. He took a look at his son. He is not yet 20 years old. Let him do this. Is it too difficult for him?

Pan Mei sighed: "Okay, let's find another chance later."

Pan Weiji nodded, but did not retreat: "Father, in fact, if you want to kill Liu Wei, you can only do it outside the capital."

"Outside the capital?"

"Liu Wei's reputation in the capital is already evident, killing him is not good for the aftermath. To kill him, we can only use the method we discussed before to get him to Lingnan."

How smart Pan Mei is, she immediately understood after hearing Pan Weiji's words.

"That's the only way, but how to get it to Lingnan?"

"Isn't this an opportunity?"

Pan Mei was slightly taken aback. Seeing this, Pan Weiji continued to explain: "The Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed, and all industries are waiting to be prosperous. There must be a lot of chaotic parties left behind. These need someone to manage them. As long as my father recommends Liu Wei, the Holy Majesty must definitely Promise." At this point, Pan Weiji told how Liu Wei persuaded Zhao Kuangyin to be an Enke Scholars and why he was an Enke Scholars.

After hearing this, Pan Mei already understood.

"Since His Majesty intends to send someone to Lingnan, then this matter will be easy to handle. Tomorrow, as my father, I will go to the palace to meet with His Majesty and mention this matter."

Pan Weiji nodded: "Father, after seeing His Majesty tomorrow, you might as well find a way out for your son."

Pan Mei knew about Pan Weiji's jinshi and rank. After hearing this, she smiled and said, "It's easy to say. I just don't know what department you want to join, the official department or something else?"

Pan Weiji shook his head: "My son wants to go to Lingnan to be an official."

"Going to Lingnan?" Pan Mei was a little puzzled: "What are you going there for? It's a mess, it's better to let Liu Wei go."

Pan Weiji smiled: "My lord, it is precisely because Liu Wei has gone that my son is going. If my son doesn't go, how can I find a chance to kill Liu Wei?"

Hearing this, Pan Mei suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "Extremely, extremely."

After the father and son finished speaking, Pan Mei went to rest, and Pan Weiji also returned to her room.

However, after Pan Weiji returned to his room, Li Shengnan asked a little puzzled: "Young Master, you went to Lingnan to be an official, you think it's not just to deal with Liu Wei?"

"Liu Wei is my strong enemy in this life. I think whether our affairs can be accomplished depends on whether we can solve Liu Wei. Otherwise, he will become our resistance. However, the reason why I am going to Lingnan is to develop our Shenwufang. .”

"Young master, do you want to use the land of Lingnan to develop the power of Shenwufang?"

"Exactly, after the great battle in Lingnan, all industries are waiting to flourish, and there are many opportunities. As long as we go, we can find opportunities to strengthen ourselves."

Li Shengnan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Young Master is still thoughtful."

After the morning court the next day, Pan Mei was left behind by Zhao Kuangyin.

After the two monarchs and ministers sat down in the imperial study, Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Aiqing, tell me about the attack on the Southern Han Dynasty. Since I became the emperor, I often dream of gold and iron horses, swallowing mountains and rivers with anger. what!"

"The emperor has great ambitions, and the humble minister admires him."

After Pan Mei complimented Zhao Kuangyin, she began to tell how he destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty. First, he talked about how he destroyed several cities in a row, and then mentioned how he destroyed the Southern Han Xiangzhen. Of course, when it comes to the Southern Han Xiangzhen At that time, Pan Mei couldn't help but praise Zhao Kuangyin again, saying that he was strategizing and knew how to break the elephant formation without leaving the capital.

Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to say that the method was provided by Liu Weiliu's son-in-law, but he saw that Pan Mei's words were rising, so he didn't interrupt him.

"After the Southern Han elephant formation was broken, the humble official went straight to the Southern Han lair. That Liu Yan was greedy for life and feared death. Before the official broke into his palace, he wanted to take gold, silver, jewelry and his concubine to the sea to escape. .”

"Oh, then Liu Yan is going to flee at sea, how did Ai Qing catch him?"

"Your Majesty, Liu Yu handed over the government affairs to a witch named Fan Huzi. Seeing that the Southern Han Dynasty was about to perish, Fan Huzi also found a way out for himself. In the end, he stole all Liu Yu's jewelry ships and fled first. Standing on the seashore without a boat to cross, he was naturally captured by the humble minister."

Pan Mei spoke very excitedly, but at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin frowned suddenly: "I heard that there was a witch sect in the Southern Han Dynasty, whose power should not be underestimated, and the sect master is that Fan Huzi, and now Fan Huzi is fleeing overseas, I'm afraid It has always been a hidden danger of my Great Song."

When Pan Mei saw Zhao Kuangyin mentioning this matter, she was overjoyed, but her face showed a trace of worry: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true, I blame this minister for rushing back to Beijing to return to his life, otherwise we have to wait until the queen who captured that fan beard and wiped out the Witch Sect Go back to court again."

Hearing what Pan Mei said, Zhao Kuangyin smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, Aiqing has been away for more than half a year, and it's time to come back, so I'll leave the Witch Sect to other people."

When Zhao Kuangyin said this, Pan Mei immediately continued: "The witch sect is not weak, and ordinary people may find it difficult to subdue it, but the Southern Han Dynasty just fell, and at this time, bandits and bandits are everywhere, and the people are displaced. When people go to Lingnan, they must send a trustworthy and capable person."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly: "Pan Aiqing's words are very true, so according to Pan Aiqing's meaning, who in the court is worthy of this job?"

"Although I was in the Southern Han Dynasty, I have also heard of Liu Weiliu's son-in-law's talent and name. Now that all industries in Lingnan are waiting to be prosperous, and Liu's son-in-law can be regarded as a businessman, I think he is a perfect fit."

After listening to Pan Mei's words, Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Lingnan was badly governed by that Liu Yu, all kinds of exorbitant taxes, and now after a big battle, it really needs to recuperate. Liu Wei is going, maybe If you can make Lingnan prosperous, well, then send Liu Wei to Lingnan."

Pan Mei smiled, and then said: "My lord, do you have an unfeeling request?"

"Pan Aiqing made great contributions to destroying the Southern Han Dynasty, so just say what you want."

"Weichen's dog, Pan Weiji, passed the Jinshi this year, and Weichen felt that he should be sent outside to practice, so he wanted to find an errand for the dog in Lingnan."

Hearing that it was Pan Weiji, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help being taken aback. If it was someone else, let alone going to Lingnan, even if he was given a high position in the court, Zhao Kuangyin would not hesitate, but Pan Weiji is the royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Would it be possible to let him go to Lingnan? Too dangerous?

But it was hard for him to refuse Pan Mei's request.

"Since it was Pan Aiqing's request, I agree."

Then, the two chatted about other things. After talking like this for about half an hour, Pan Mei got up to leave. After Pan Mei left, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered someone to bring Pan Weiji's papers for this year, and Zhao Kuangyin read Pan Weiji's papers. After several times, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The article is mediocre, and the viewpoints described are not very novel, and the talents are mediocre, so I can't think of making any big waves." Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be talking to himself: "Compared with Pan Weiji, Liu Wei is more unpredictable."

After talking to himself like this, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered: "Xuan Zhanqing."

Zhan Qing was Zhao Kuangyin's bodyguard with a knife. After Zhao Kuangyin gave the order, Zhan Qing strode into the imperial study room: "Your subordinates kowtow to the Holy One."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly: "Get up, I asked you to come because I have something to do for you." As he said that, Zhao Kuangyin handed the imperial decree he had just written to Zhan Qing: "This is my imperial decree to Liu Weiliu's son-in-law, you go Let’s make an announcement at the princess’ mansion, and besides, you don’t have to come back after the imperial decree is announced, just follow Liu Wei.”

Hearing this, Zhan Qing was slightly taken aback, but he still quickly took orders: "This subordinate obeys."

Zhan Qing got up and was about to leave when Zhao Kuangyin suddenly called to him and gave him some instructions, and finally let Zhan Qing leave.

But Zhan Qing had just left the palace with the imperial decree, someone in the palace quietly passed the news to someone outside the palace, and the people outside the palace hurried to Kaifeng mansion after getting the news.

It was mid-spring, when the person who brought the news came to Kaifeng Mansion, King Jin and Su Tongjian were drinking tea and enjoying flowers in the courtyard, and when they heard the news from the palace, they both frowned slightly.

The two were silent for a while, and after a long time, King Jin asked, "According to Mr. Su's opinion, will Liu Wei's leaving the capital be of great benefit or harm to us?"
