127. Chapter 127

"Your Majesty, are you really not worried at all?" Prime Minister Wen didn't even look at it, and casually placed the white stone in his hand on a corner of the chessboard.

The emperor held a black piece, chased the piece, and placed it next to each other. He shook his head and smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? Old Fourteen said he would solve it, so you should believe him."

Wen Qing glanced at him, why didn't this sound wrong, he didn't believe Duan Wang, Just a little worried. He came up with a bidding meeting, and someone really sent money up?

No one has ever seen this tender. It's all a matter of Ming Yu's imagination, and there is no charter. How can people not be worried.

If things don't turn out as Ming Yu thought, what should Ming Yu do? Now those people in the capital are waiting to see his jokes.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the very calm emperor again. Wen Qing couldn't help but feel a little depressed, he was really worried about eating radishes. His emperor's father is not in a hurry, why is he anxious for others to follow?

"Don't be impatient, actually speaking, the old fourteen seems to act in a random manner, but he is very open-minded and knows what he should do."

It's not that he never worried about him before, but every time he can use Your own way to get things done flawlessly. After all, if he grew up in the palace, if he was as reckless and self-willed as he seemed on the surface, how could he have survived unscathed today.

Although he is also protected by the emperor, just imagine that if a person does not act in a proper manner, the great grace of heaven will be exhausted. Don't look at Ming Yu who is always in trouble, heartless and heartless, but he is just right, and no one can do anything about him.

Watching him grow up step by step, his old father is very gratified.

Wen Qing sighed and shook his head, concerned.

    It's chaotic, he's overthinking it.

Seeing that he couldn't let go, the emperor smiled and said, "Since Wen Qing is worried, you can go there yourself."

"Actually, it has nothing to do with me." Wen Qing pretended not to care.

The emperor smiled meaningfully. After decades, Wen Qing's duplicitous temperament has not changed. If you didn't know him, you would have been deceived by him.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with Wen Qing, but I heard that this kid has hollowed out the prime minister's house." The emperor said with a slightly teasing tone.

Mentioning this matter, Wen Qing got a little unnatural, picked up the tea brewed early next to him and took a sip in disguise. Seeing the emperor's half-smile but not smiling, a fire arose in his heart.

He casually placed another chess piece, cleared his throat, and said, "Don't just talk about ministers, Your Majesty, I don't know how much Prince Duan has left for His Majesty's private treasury?

" Laughing at others, but being exposed at once, to the first army, and coughing in embarrassment. The emperor shook his head, "You! Your temper is still the

same as before, and you never admit defeat. Let's do it, let's do it, I won't talk about you anymore. You have to save me some face, right?"

Regretted, he stood up and saluted: "Wei Chen is frightened..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already helped him up, and before he could speak, Wen Qing stepped back a few steps, his face slightly pale.

Seeing Wen Qing's performance, the emperor smiled bitterly, knowing that he had scared him, and then sat back in his seat, "I'm just joking, you don't need to panic."

Wen Qing calmed down his panic, still standing far away, "Yes ."

For a while, the needle fell silently in the hall. The emperor picked up a chess piece, put it on the chessboard with a slap, and said lonely: "In the past, we played chess together, and we fought to the death in every game, but now there is no competition. Because of the stinky chess basket of Old Fourteen, I have destroyed all the chess in the palace, and the only thing I can't bear is the one in front of me."

Wen Qing raised his eyes and looked over, slightly moved, but in the end he remained calm. to cover up everything in the bottom of my heart.

"I'm a little tired, you go down." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes, Wei Chen retire." Wen Qing said softly and left.

There was a faint sigh in the hall. The emperor picked up a Wenqing chess piece and put it down according to Wenqing's path, and then picked up a black piece to continue playing.

The old days will never go back, and the atmosphere that the two used to play chess will never come back. In the cold hall, only the emperor was left alone, and the originally straight back was also hunched a lot, and the heights were extremely cold!

Ming Yu widely distributed invitation letters, and almost all businessmen in the business district received one, whether it was from the capital or the businessmen who came over after hearing the news.

This kind of circle in the capital is common, and everyone is actively preparing. In any case, go to this tender meeting to see what is going on. Anyway, the money is in their own pockets, and they really don't believe that Duan Wang can easily fool the money out of their pockets.

There are no profiteers and no businessmen. Whoever does business is not a smart person. They can judge the situation and always get the greatest benefit at the least cost.

Soon, the day that Ming Yu set came, and the location was also set in the garden that was lent to the eldest princess before the Ma family. The place is big enough to hold a tender.

Ma Siyong, the Patriarch of the Ma Family, was ready early in the morning. The elders in their family have discussed this matter countless times, and they have also discussed a number of ways and plans. Today, as long as the Patriarch goes, it depends on the situation.

Ma Jinyu, as the next heir to the Ma family, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to experience this time. Therefore, he will also go with his father.

The other businessmen, big and small, who received the invitation, also rejoiced. In terms of their social status, it is impossible to meet such a person as the prince, let alone receive an invitation post.

That is the king! In any case, this is a matter of face for Bei'er. In the future, even King Duan of the Dayan Dynasty invited them to attend the meeting. This is the capital they boast.

On the day of the tender meeting, Ming Yu received a person who should not have come - Prime Minister Wen.

"How come Wen Xiang?" Ming Yu was very surprised and asked directly. At that time, he received a report from his servants that Prime Minister Wen was coming, and he was surprised.

"My minister took the liberty to disturb me, because it would be very novel to hear what the lord said about the bidding, so I thought of coming over to see it for myself."

He was really worried. After he raised it in the palace that day, he had this idea. So I came here rashly today.

It turned out that, Ming Yu smiled and welcomed people into the garden, "I can't ask for Wen Xiang to come to the meeting."

Wen Qing followed behind Ming Yu, "It is an honor to be able to participate in this grand meeting hosted by Duan Wang. If this meeting is successful, maybe there will be opportunities for reference."

"To win awards, to win awards, Yu is just crossing the river by feeling the stones. If there is something wrong, I have to ask the minister for advice." Who is polite? Everyone would say that Ming Yu of course came with his mouth open.

Entering the garden, I came to an open space, where tables, chairs and benches were already placed. There are waiters in twos and threes who are walking through the crowd with trays in their hands. If someone is beckoning, they will go forward and deliver the melons, fruits, snacks, drinks, etc. that the person needs. They are very considerate and thoughtful.

Some merchants who come early are in groups of three or five, sitting or standing in a group, exchanging greetings with each other.

"This banquet prepared by King Duan is also different. It is also similar to those literati gatherings. Even the rough people like me have become more elegant." Someone joked.

"Who says it's not, I'll go back and learn this trick in the future, so that everyone won't be too vulgar to drink and eat meat. In this way, everyone can chat freely together."

"Yes, yes! Let's

Ordinary people can also learn this kind of elegant fun. It will also prevent everyone from looking down on me." Ji Di is stunned and stunned by the twilight
. As food goes up, we will follow suit. What other regulations can there be? Waiting for a loss without raising the price? "The

three of them are inseparable from their own business. They have business owners, and some want to inquire about other people's situation.

Someone saw the person who Ming Yu led in. This person was dressed in a small blue robe and a refined scholar. Everyone was very Strange, who is this person? He doesn't look like a businessman in his clothes? He looks like a literati who took the imperial examination.

What is this person's identity? It is worth meeting King Duan in person, but I think it is not ordinary people who are valued by King Duan.

It's just that on this occasion today, the merchants invited by Duan Wang came to hold a bidding meeting. Why are literati also interested? Don't they always despise them the most stinky people?

Ming Yu clapped his hands and motioned everyone to listen to him quietly. Everyone came over, and the originally noisy scene was instantly quiet.

Ming Yu raised his voice and briefly introduced for them: "This is Prime Minister Wen, and I came to see it today. "

"What? who? Did I hear it right? "Someone lost his voice. Who is Prime Minister Wen? The first person in the court of Dayan, who was admired and trusted by the emperor, why did he come here?

Someone next to him patted him, and he repeatedly accused him, so that he did not make him rude and embarrassed.

Wen Qing Qingqing smiled lightly and said loudly, "You heard right, it is Wen. "

Everyone hurriedly paid their respects to worship, and Wen Qing waved his hand and said a few polite words, and was led by Ming Yu to the main seat.

The man who had just lost his voice was still in a dream, thinking that he was dreaming, so he pinched himself hard, and then he came back to his senses. There are also many people who react the same way as him, and I am really surprised and surprised in my heart.

Unexpectedly, even Prime Minister Wen was here, and it was worth what they said this time. When Ming Yu and the others were far away, they

were sure they could not be noticed, and someone asked in a low voice, "What is Prime Minister Wen doing here? Haven't heard that this is related to Prime Minister Wen?"

After thinking about it, what is the purpose of Prime Minister Wen here? Why did you come with a price drop? If Duan Wang invited him to build momentum, it would not be necessary, after all, businessmen and literati were not on the same line. Moreover, looking at Duan Wang's appearance when he heard the announcement earlier, it is obvious that he did not know that Prime Minister Wen was coming.

Although they did not know the specific process of the bidding meeting that Duanwang came up with, they also knew that this was a grand meeting for their merchants. Many people also came to see it with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Now that Prime Minister Wen has come, it also shows that this matter is very unusual, and many people have to start to re-evaluate.

The head of the Zhu family, Mrs. Zhu, had gray beard. He frowned, and his doubts were the same as everyone else. Of course, as one of the four major merchants in the capital, he must have learned a lot more than the average person.

To put it bluntly, this bidding meeting held by Duanwang is to ask everyone to pay, and it is for the Xiqi Corridor. This matter was also discussed at the court, but because the court could not come up with the money, the proposal was not approved. However, Ming Yu took this matter by himself, and only later did the bidding meeting happen.

In his view, this is a great risk. How could it be possible to accomplish something that even the imperial court is unwilling to come forward with only one person? It is also because of this that no matter what Duan Wang does, he just takes a wait-and-see attitude.

It's not that they don't know about the big moves of the Ma family, they just don't know what news the Ma family has got. pole. It is impossible for their Zhu family to gamble all their net worth, so although they are prepared, they are only in response to emergencies.

Now that Prime Minister Wen has also come forward, things are probably not that simple!
