Qin Xiao was a little surprised, but soon understood the reason.

"The saint loves the princess, and all the officials in the court know it. Over the years, hundreds of officials have entered the court through the princess's path." Han Yunong said slowly: "In addition, the princess is in charge of the North Courtyard, and the supervisors of the North Courtyard are all over the empire.

The deployment of soldiers and horses, as well as the allocation of ordnance, baggage, and military pay are all decided by the North Academy. In other words, the logistics of each troop and horse are almost entirely in the hands of the princess."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that the power in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess was indeed considerable.

"This is only part of it." Han Yunong sighed: "Before the general was killed, he went to Zhen County in person. I drank with the general that time. The general rarely commented on court affairs, but he drank a few more drinks that time.

I expressed my unhappiness."

Qin Xiao was aware of this matter.

The general went to Zhenjun in person in order to recruit the Wolf Cavalry, but he didn't know the specific situation, but Han Yunong was in Zhenjun at that time, so the general naturally met Han Yunong.

Han Yunong was a close confidant of General Heiyu. It was very difficult for the general to return to Xiling, so it was inevitable that he would have to talk to Han Yunong after drinking.

"After the general returned to Xiling, the Beiyuan immediately sent a Beiyuan minister named Pei. On the surface, he sent a supervisor there. In fact, Pei went to Xiling to transport the family's materials back to Kyoto.

, and turned it over directly to the inner treasury." Han Yunong looked solemn: "The general was troubled by this, and also mentioned to me that in fact, the inner treasury of the palace is said to be in the hands of the princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has a knack for amassing money, except for some obvious appearances.

For the materials included in the national treasury, the princess holds the largest source of the internal treasury."

Qin Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Han Yunong.

"Of course you know Baofenglong!" Han Yunong said: "That is the largest bank in the world."

Qin Xiao nodded immediately.

Baofenglong connected the world. Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in foreign countries, there was a branch of Baofenglong. At first, he made a fortune from Duankong Castle and obtained many rare treasures. Later, he was in White Wolf City.

Bao Fenglong exchanged it for a silver note.

In this world, only Baofenglong has the strength to produce hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in banknotes in a short period of time.

He knew that Baofenglong had a lot of money, and he also heard rumors that Baofenglong was a government official and a businessman with a huge backer, but he naturally didn't know what kind of master Baofenglong was behind the scenes.

"Baofenglong is a century-old bank of the Tang Dynasty." Han Yunong said: "His apparent owner is the Lin family of Hangzhou. When Emperor Wuzong conquered the Bohai Sea, he was raising military expenses. The Lin family actually took the initiative to donate money. Emperor Wuzong was happy.

Therefore, the head of the Lin family was given a fifth-grade official title, with no official position, and Lin became an official and businessman, which provided many conveniences. The biggest purpose of Lin's donation was to hope to get the support of the imperial court and allow them to operate within the empire.

Open a bank." He said that his throat was a little dry and he wanted to pour water. Qin Xiao's hands and feet were flexible and he hurriedly grabbed it and poured it.

Han Yunong drank the water before continuing: "The head of the Lin family is also a genius in the business world. Although he has no intention of pursuing an official career, he has extraordinary talent in business and is very ambitious. His lifelong wish is to connect the world.

. He donated money to the court and received the support of the court. Starting from him, after three generations of hard work, he finally built Baofenglong into the world's number one bank, and truly achieved the goal of connecting the world. However, Lin knew very well that the Lin family

No matter how big you make it,

Without the support of the imperial court, Baofenglong all over the world would collapse in an instant."

"So the Lin family tied themselves to the royal family?" Qin Xiao understood instantly.

Han Yunong smiled lightly and said: "Yes, the Lin family is very smart. To make Baofenglong as stable as Mount Tai and the Lin family to stand firm, the best way is to ride in the same boat with the royal family. Therefore, the Lin family and the inner treasury of the royal family share the benefits of the bank.

, which actually makes Baofenglong an important source of inner treasury.”

"This is called a slow stream." Qin Xiao sneered: "Although the bank's interests are divided by the inner treasury, it is precisely because the inner treasury is profitable in Baofenglong that Baofenglong will never fail. As long as the royal family exists, the Lin family will also

It just exists.”

"It is naturally impossible for a saint to have contact with the Lin family, so the person who has private contact with the Lin family is Her Royal Highness the Princess." Han Yunong crossed his arms across his chest and said calmly: "In this way, the Lin family will be controlled by the princess, which is the biggest source of internal treasury.

, is also in the hands of the princess."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that it was no wonder that Princess Sheyue could compete with the Prime Minister.

She has many disciples, controls the North Courtyard, and controls the inner treasury. As long as she has one of these things, she is already a great figure in the court. With these three powers at the same time, she will naturally become a powerful enemy of the Prime Minister.

Qin Xiao was thoughtful, thought for a moment, and then said: "Captain, you mean to say that the princess's power is too strong, so the saint wants to beat her?"

"After all, the saint is from the Xiahou family. She supports the princess to check the Xiahou family, not to bring about the collapse of the Xiahou family." Han Yunong sighed: "The collapse of the Xiahou family will do no good to the saint. She naturally wants to support the Xiahou family.

, and to suppress the Xiahou family to put it in a controllable position. The princess is a sword newly tempered by the saint, the purpose is to check and balance the Xiahou family, and the princess has lived up to the expectations of the saint, and indeed has the strength to compete with the Xiahou family. But

...Of course the saint will not forget that the princess is also named Li!"

Qin Xiao's body was shaken one by one.

Han Yunong's last words are naturally extremely important.

Xiahou stepped on the heads of the Li family and sat on the dragon chair. After he ascended the throne, he carried out a bloody purge of the Li family. The Li family was almost wiped out, but Princess Sheyue was the apple of the saint's eye.

But he is also a member of the Li royal family.

The power in the hands of the princess is too strong, just wait and see if the power of the Li family increases step by step.

The princess is a sword tempered by a saint. Now this sword is just like Xiahou's. It has become too sharp. Since the saint was not willing to see Xiahou's knife too sharp at the beginning, he will not allow it either.

Princess Musk Moon’s knife is too sharp.

"I am saying this today just to let you understand that Dou Wei is the Prime Minister's man." Han Yunong smiled bitterly and said: "If I guessed correctly, Dou Wei should have taken refuge with the Prime Minister long ago and became the Prime Minister and was buried in the palace.

This time, Dou Fan took action at a critical moment and pulled down Fan Wenzheng. This was actually the opportunity that the Prime Minister had been waiting for for a long time. If Fan Wenzheng fell, the power of the princesses in the Ministry of War would naturally be overwhelmed by Dou Fan.

Sweeping them away, they must be replaced by the Prime Minister's men. You are not from the Prime Minister, let alone from the princess, but Dou Wei wants to keep you. I don't know the reason behind it at the moment, but

You must pay more attention to yourself and be careful in everything you do in the yamen."

Qin Xiao knew that Han Yunong was leaving this time, and he must have been worried about him. He could only smile and said: "Captain, don't worry, I will be careful in everything."

"I don't understand what Dou Fan's plan is for you, but the princess will definitely not be reconciled to losing the Ministry of War." Han Yunong looked solemn: "The situation in the court is changing, and there is no telling when the princess will launch a counterattack against the Ministry of War.

.When you are in the Yamen, there is no need to get too close to the people from the Ministry of War. To put it more bluntly, don’t let the princess think that you belong to Dou Wei. Even though you are only given an official, it is still the same.

It is definitely not a good thing for a seventh-grade official to really get involved in a dispute between right and wrong."

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Captain, don't worry, I'm going to eat and drink in the military department first and see if there is a chance to be transferred to Woyebian Town in the future. If I can't go to Woyebian Town, I can go to your place. Anyway, I will

Find a way to leave Kyoto as soon as possible."

"Qin Xiao, don't forget that we are the general's subordinates." Han Yunong became serious, looked into Qin Xiao's eyes and said: "Everyone in the world can forget the revenge of the general's murder, but we cannot forget."

Qin Xiao stopped smiling and became serious, saying: "Captain, I dare not forget the general's hatred. If I don't do anything else in this life, I will also look for opportunities to kill Fan Ziqi's gang of traitors and become the general."

Revenge."

"As long as we have this intention, even if we wait three to five years, it will not be too late." Han Yunong clenched his fists, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. You are here

Kyoto is fine. After I go to Guiyang, I will try my best to return to the fertile fields as soon as possible. When I arrive in Guiyang, a lot of information is not available. Zimo and Zhonglang have no news about them so far. You are also in the Ministry of War.

Pay attention and see if there is any news about them. No matter what news you get, whether they are dead or alive, get me a letter when the time comes and let me know their situation."

Qin Xiao nodded and thought of something. He reached into his arms and took out a few silver notes. He took a look and saw two 10,000 taels of silver notes. Plus a few others, there were 24,000 to 5,000 taels of silver.

Without hesitation, he handed it over and said: "Captain, please keep these banknotes first. When you get to Guiyang, it will be much easier to do many things with these banknotes in hand."

Han Yunong took a look and said in surprise: "Where did you get such a big banknote?"

"Don't worry, I didn't come here for any wrongdoing." Qin Xiao thought to himself that just over 20,000 taels of silver notes made your eyes open wider than a bell. If you took out all the hundreds of thousands taels of silver notes, wouldn't you still?

He fainted and said with a smile: "Just accept it."

Han Yunong shook his head and pushed Qin Xiao's hand back: "When I got to the army, I had my own military pay, so I didn't need these things. You need these things more in Kyoto, but remember, don't let others expose your wealth.

I know you carry such a fortune with you."

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and knew that the amount was too big and Han Yunong would never accept it. He put away the two thousand taels of silver notes and forced the remaining thousands of taels of silver notes into Han Yunong's hands and said: "Take it with you, at least

I can buy wine, Captain, but if you don’t accept it, I will feel very sad.”

Han Yunong thought for a while, but finally did not refuse or look carefully. He put it in his arms, stood up, patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Take care of everything, keep the green hills, don't worry about not having firewood, as long as

As long as we are alive, we can wait until the day when we can avenge the general. This blood debt can only be paid off by the two of us."
