"for example……"

"For example, His Royal Highness is self-respecting and suspected of treason. Now they are concocting "evidence"..." Wang Meng said: "Now they are jumping up and down in Yecheng, preparing to impeach His Highness!"

Ran Ming handles ran's business intrigues with ease.The so-called political struggle may sound lofty, but it is actually an exchange of interests, which is similar to doing business.

Even if he has no experience in political struggle, Ran Ming has more than 1000 years of knowledge.Ran Ming remembered this situation, which seemed to be very similar to the plot in the historical drama "Yongzheng Dynasty" of the later Braid Dynasty.Emperor Kangxi abolished the crown prince Yinfeng, and asked all the officials to discuss the crown prince. Most of the officials in the court elected the eldest son Yinhu.

In the end, the much-anticipated eldest child did not get the crown prince, but the second child who had just been abolished was established as the crown prince again.This is not to say that Kangxi loves his son deeply, nor does it mean that the second child is really superior. The only explanation is that the eighth child is too powerful, and even Kangxi is afraid of him. How can such a character make him a prince? .

Ran Ming just gave him the opposite, he knew that he was still useful to Wei and Ran Min.

Didn't Ran Zhi want to deal with him, so he made another move.Let all the ministers of the Wei State oppose him, and all stand in Ran Zhi's camp against him, not only let Ran Min see Ran Zhi's energy, but also see that if he does not balance Ran Zhi himself, the Wei court will lose its balance.

At this time, Ran Ming already had confidence in his heart, and he tried to ask, "Do you have any countermeasures, sir?"

"Advance with retreat, fight without fight!" Wang Meng was afraid that Ran Ming would not understand, and explained: "Since His Majesty suspects Your Highness, why don't His Highness not accept any official position, ask to return to the fiefdom, or enter the Jiaodong Palace in Yecheng to thank guests behind closed doors. Only ask two things with one mind, write history and write books, open schools, and adopt widows and orphans!"

Ran Ming smiled and said: "Gu can also push the boat along the river!"

Wang Meng was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at each other and smiled.

……

Yecheng, the headquarters of the Wei Kingdom Chamber of Commerce.Zhang Xun looked at the letter without beginning or end, and was at a loss.

However, after Zhang Xun received the letter, he began to think about it.

Ran Zhi and Ran Ming are almost incompatible, and this is almost an open secret in Yecheng.Although on the surface, he and Wang Cheng are officials of the Great Wei Clan province, but Ran Ming's brand has already been branded on them. The officials of Prince Ran Zhi's family have never been friendly to them, and they have obstructed their daily work in every possible way. A stumbling block makes a black hand.Zhang Xun is a good hand in business, but since he became an official, he has often been humiliated by those petty officials who are not of the lowest rank.

Although Zhang Xun also tried to establish a good relationship with the prince's family or neutral officials, these officials, especially those from the gentry family, did not look at him at all.As a businessman, he was used to staring and discrimination. These embarrassments were nothing to Zhang Xun, at least within the range he could bear.

However, Zhang Xun understood a truth.

That is, Ran Ming can give them official positions, but they must rely on Ran Ming if they want to develop their official careers, and they cannot do without Ran Ming if they want to achieve success in business.Although he didn't understand Ran Ming's intentions, Zhang Xun came to Liu Yuan's mansion in Yecheng with the secret letter.

Arriving at Liu Yuan's residence, Zhang Xun found that Wang Cheng had come earlier than him, not only Wang Cheng, but also many officials from the Huaxia Business Alliance.After everyone greeted each other, Zhang Xun went straight to the topic: "Grand Liu, colleagues, what does His Royal Highness Jiaodong's letter mean? How can you let me cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Xun is not the kind of two-faced, three-handed, two-faced person." Despicable villain, Xun is loyal to His Royal Highness King Jiaodong."

Liu Yuandao: "I didn't understand His Royal Highness Jiaodong's intentions, but I knew that His Highness must have his intentions, so I will follow suit!"

Liu Yuan is even a leader among merchants, and married Ran Ming at the earliest time, and now Liu Yuan's daughter is Ran Ming's concubine Liu.The grandson is the second son of the direct line and was named the prince of Jiaodong.Liu Yuan is different from other merchants. He and Ran Ming are now one body.

Although Liu Yuan was a merchant, he must have been born as a nobleman, and he knew the twists and turns of the court.Liu Yuan went on to say: "Your Majesty is now in the prime of life and full of energy. The crown prince's strength is so great that I can't even imagine that half of the officials of the dynasty are looking for him. The reputation is extremely high! This is the crown prince's ability. Well, with such a prince here, Your Majesty can save a lot of effort in the future."

Zhang Xun and Wang Cheng suddenly realized.Zhang Xun showed a hint of cunning. He would rather be just a merchant forever than an official in name only. He wanted to go one step further and become an official in name and honor his ancestors.

The alliance between Ran Ming and Zhang Xun, Wang Cheng and others is an alliance of interests, just like the alliance between Ran Zhi and the gentry.In the same way, Ran Ming represented their interests.If Ran Zhi succeeds, they will go back to the past, even because of the wealth in their hands.But Ran Zhi will ruin his family.

They all understand the reason why everyone is innocent, but they all know the truth about being guilty.Now they have the ability to participate in the political game of the imperial court, which is a kind of affirmation in itself.Zhang Xun said: "Grand Liu, now I have heard that those officials seem to be looking for evidence that His Royal Highness King Jiaodong supports himself, and want to impeach His Highness Jiaodong King!"

Liu Yuandao: "Since Your Highness asked us to cooperate with them, that's it. Let's go back separately. You can find a way, bribe with money or beauties. In short, His Highness King Jiaodong was originally required to become the public enemy of all officials of our Great Wei! What did you do, how did you do it, how much did you pay, His Highness knows it well, Yuan also knows it well, when has His Highness ever treated you badly?"

Zhang Xun said, "Resign, my subordinate!"

Wang Cheng also stood up and said, "Resign, my subordinate!"

Ran Ming has never played politics, but that doesn't mean he can't.

……

Yecheng, the Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace of the State of Wei.Following the two eunuchs struggling to carry a large basket, they slowly entered the imperial study.After a long time, Ran Min slowly spit out a number "650 seven letters, 650 seven letters..."

In the entire Yecheng, there are probably less than 600 ministers who are qualified to directly submit letters.After the death of Cao Chun, the official servant of Zhongchang, Zhou Yuanxian of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over.Zhou Yuanxian naturally knew what the 650 seven letters meant.

All the memorials are meant to impeach Ran Ming to support his own self-respect.Ran Min sat on the dragon chair with a terribly gloomy face.The eunuch steward was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.At this moment, Ran Min said: "Chuan Zhong Shuling, Wu Guogong Liu Qun has an audience!"

Liu Qun is the son of Liu Kun. Liu Kun made great contributions to the country and was named Shizhong and Taiwei Guangwuhou. After Liu Kun died, Liu Qun inherited his title.At the beginning of Ran Min's reign in the Wei Dynasty, 48 people including Lu Chen wrote a letter to support Ran Min as emperor. According to the standards that civil servants were promoted to three ranks and military officers were promoted to three ranks, Liu Qun was promoted to Wu Guogong.

When Liu Qun came to the imperial study room, before he had time to salute, Ran Min hurriedly said: "Zhong Shu ordered you to come and take a look at this!"

Liu Qun is a pragmatic person. As a Zhongshuling, he understood what happened when he saw the pile of memorials in front of Ran Min.

"Although His Royal Highness the King of Jiaodong has great achievements, he is not in the court and has no contact with the nobles. Moreover, the King of Jiaodong also employs a large number of poor scholars and merchants. He will definitely be tolerated by these scholars and officials." Liu Qun was full of worry. Said: "Your Majesty, please don't take it easy for these officials who are not successful enough and have more than failed to do things that hurt their loved ones and make their enemies quick!"

Ran Min has one characteristic, that is, he is decisive in killing, and he is definitely not the kind of indecisive person.

Liu Qun was really afraid that Ran Min would listen to these memorials and punish Ran Ming.Demotions and salary penalties are all harmless, but if the head is lost, it cannot grow back.

Ran Min suddenly laughed, and it took him a long time to say angrily: "Are you so stupid? This is obviously a trap, how could I get into it?"

In fact, at this moment, Ran Min also has a layer of jealousy towards Ran Zhi.

I'm afraid that even he himself can't instruct these Tuoshi officials. This is more than [-]% of the civil servants' power. If Ran Zhi gets a little wrong, the incident in the first year of Qinglong may happen again.

Hearing what Ran Min said, Liu Qun breathed a sigh of relief. As the Minister of the Great Wei, Liu Qun never formed a party. As a traditional civil servant, he thought it was okay for Ran Zhi to suppress Ran Ming as a prince, but suppressing him on the charge of treason was a bit pass.You must know that conspiracy is to punish the nine clans. Once the crime is confirmed, it will not kill one or two people, but a large number of people.

Ran Min thought for a while and said, "The king of Jiaodong has won a great victory over the country of Yan, and he will send his troops back to the court in a few days. Liu Qing urges the Ministry of War to list the list of these meritorious soldiers as soon as possible. How to reward, how to reward, and what to reward. A reasonable countermeasure. A ceremony must be held for this honor return, and the crown prince has already written a letter to go out of the city for ten miles to meet the King of Jiaodong and other soldiers, and Liu Qing will take charge of it!"

"I obey the order!" Liu Qun was about to leave.

Ran Min said again: "Ran Wang, the wife of the king of Jiaodong, is a woman. She leads all the female soldiers to defend the country against the enemy, and women do not give up to men. I intend to reward Ran Wang heavily. I wonder if Liu Qing has any opinions?"

"Everything is up to His Majesty!" Liu Qun said, "You should be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your mistakes. I wonder how His Majesty plans to reward her?"

Ran Min said: "The Ran Wang family has made great contributions to the country. He was pardoned and granted the title of Chengyang Township Lord, with eight hundred households in the town. He was promoted to General Liewu, Army Sima Baifeng, and was promoted to General of Yamen. All the officers and men of the Luan Guard Army are officials Promoted to the third level. The whole country publicized the deeds of the Ran Wang family and called on strong women to join the army. The Luan Guard Army was immediately expanded and divided into four battalions: front, rear, left, and right. The battalion and the sharp front break into the battalion. Each battalion has six soldiers, three auxiliary soldiers, and one medical soldier, and the entire army is full of 2 horses!"

This time Liu Qun set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

In ancient times, in addition to the meaning of king, Jun was the title of princes and nobles, such as Wu'an Jun and Guang'an Jun.It's not that women don't have titles. For example, Xie, the biological mother of the Empress Dowager Chu Suanzi of the Jin Dynasty, was named Gaoxiangjun.
