At this time, the atmosphere in the capital was also tense, because Emperor Chengxing ordered a strict investigation of the salt tax in Jiangnan, and the court was changing for a while.

Emperor Chengxing originally planned to let King Huan go to Jiangnan, but he was also worried that the salt merchants in Jiangnan would be anxious to jump over the wall.

In fact, this kind of thing should be notified directly by Yongyihou. After all, Jiangnan is his territory. The crown prince always needs to ensure safety when he goes to Jiangnan to handle the work.

But the time is wrong. The remnants of the Duke of Chu's mansion compete with the great bandits in Jiangnan, which was unexpected to Emperor Chengxing.

Originally, the great enemy in Jiangnan was so large that it was under the indulgence of Xu Huizu. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty knew that he was raising the enemy to respect himself, but no one just pointed it out.

If Xiong Lin hadn't, then I wouldn't be afraid of these things. But now that Xiong Lin appears in Jiangnan, it would be different.

This means that on the surface, the development of Jiangnan affairs is no longer under Xu Huizu's control.

If King Huan goes to Jiangnan and encounters any danger, then Xu Huizu can make an excuse to say that it was Xiong Lin's actions. What can he do then?

That's why Emperor Chengxing was so entangled and kept thinking about who else could be sent. In fact, the easiest way was to let Zhonghuai do it directly.

But Zhonghuai is now a slander. If he is directly responsible for checking the salt tax, if others don’t say it, Han Zhang will be the first to jump out to oppose himself?

It was in this atmosphere that King Huan saw Shen Congxing openly in the East Palace without any hesitation.

"Uncle, what should I do here when you say this trip to Jiangnan?" said King Huan.

"Your Highness, this matter is actually easy to resolve. After you arrive in Jiangnan, you don't have to worry about anything. After all, Zhong Huai is there."

"And, Marquis Yongyi will not let His Highness get into trouble on his territory, your safety is still guaranteed."

"But what should you do if you are safe on the way to Jiangnan? The capital is not peaceful now. If you leave the capital, there will be a killer who will follow you." Shen Congxing said

"Well, this is exactly what the father is worried about, so he has never made up his mind, but this matter cannot be delayed for too long. After all, the salt tax is the top priority."

"Now the chaos in our Great Wei is beginning to appear. There is the rebellion of King Wei in the north, and the Duke of Chu in the south is causing evil."

"At this turbulent time, we should do things in Jiangnan as soon as possible so that we can deal with the chaotic situation that will follow." King Huan said

"Your Highness, if you really have no choice, then I can only accompany you." Shen Congxing said

"Well, I mean that, but you can't move now, uncle, if you leave, the imperial guards will be the dominant one. That's not a good thing." King Huan said

"Well, what does your highness mean?" Shen Congxing said

"We have to wait a moment, and we will set off when Quanxu comes back." King Huan said

"Does Your Highness want them to restrain each other? Not to be the only one, I admire you." Shen Congxing said

"Uncle, don't joke with me anymore. I'm forced to do this, so I can only do this." King Huan said

At this time, Yuan Wenshu was accompanying his wife every day and lived a very comfortable life.

But a letter from Jiangnan disrupted his life rhythm and made his mind liven up.

It turned out that the letter said that since last month, people have been invading along the coast, but it is not a system. Xu Huizu had to arrange heavy troops along the coast.

According to the letter, they were samurai from Japan, and the reason they came was because of the dispute between their leader Genji and Petani.

They were originally retainers of Genji, but because Genji failed to rebellion, they protected Genji's young master and fled Heian Kyo.

He was chased all the way to the territory of Wei. Now these people have been captured by Xu Huizu, including the young master of the Genji, Yuan Lai Chao.

Originally, Xu Huizu wanted to deal with it by himself, but Yang Qufeng felt that it was profitable, so he asked Xu Huizu to send a letter to Yuan Wenshu, wanting to see Yuan Wenshu's thoughts.

Yuan Wenshu looked at the letter and was at a loss for a moment. He didn't know if this Japanese country was different from the one he knew.

If it was the same, that would be interesting. The one who impressed him the most besides that incident was the large silver mine.

That is not a simple silver mine. The scale of that silver mine is the largest in the world. If you can control the silver mine in your hands, then...

According to the letter, Genji was also a serious nobleman in Japan, and this is a point that can be used.

However, if this matter is not possible in the letter, it still has to be said in person. After all, it is important and I am not that greedy, so I must be considered a part of the courageous and righteous man.

In addition, in the northwest, the two families work together to swallow a large piece of meat. As for the remaining part, they will be divided.

No, this is too big, I have to discuss it with my grandfather, but what to say is a problem.

First, he wrote a letter to send it to Jiangnan, asking Xu Huizu to settle the person and he would be of great use. Then he set out to see his grandfather.

When Liu Wei saw Yuan Wenshu, he said strangely: "Why have time today? Have you come out to see me, the old man?"

"Grandfather, look at what you said, isn't my wife pregnant? This is the first time I've experienced such a thing, so I can't help but feel a little nervous." Yuan Wenshu said

"Okay, I didn't say anything. What's wrong with you when you came today? Tell me quickly." Liu Wei said

"Grandfather, today Jiangnan sent a letter saying that the Japanese pirates were harassing them. Yongyi Hou captured these Japanese people and found out their details."

"That group of Japanese pirates is the young master and retainer of a noble family in Japan. The struggle of that family failed. "Originally, this young master has been exiled, but his loyal retainer has protected this young master for several years before fleeing to our Wei State." Yuan Wenshu said

"Oh? Then what do you think?" Liu Wei said

"Grandfather, grandson thinks so. Since there is civil strife in Japan, we have a chance to get involved."

"Because of civil strife, Japan's attitude towards us must have changed. Now that we have this bargaining chip in our hands, the right to speak is in our hands."

"If the person in power is conscious, we will give this nobleman as a gift. If he does not know the person, then replace him." Yuan Wenshu said

"Well, don't be foolish, I think you just want to fight a war, right?" Liu Wei said

"Grandfather is wise. It is said that the Japanese domestic chaos is at a time, but now we are about to get into chaos. At that time, the surrounding wolves will not be at peace." Yuan Wenshu said

"But is it worth it to mobilize all the troops just to establish their authority?" Liu Wei said

"Grandfather, grandson wants to fight this battle not only for the sake of establishing authority, but for the sake of money." Yuan Wenshu said

"Hmm? Silver? What's going on? Come on quickly?" Liu Wei said

"Grandfather, you don't know that there is a huge silver mine in this territory of Japan. To put it simply, this silver mine can compare to all the silver mines of our dynasty." Yuan Wenshu said

Gusai

"What? I heard it right? There is such a huge silver mine in that small place?" Liu Wei said

"Grandfather, it's true that the silver mine is in the Ishimi Kingdom in Japan, which is probably equivalent to a county in our dynasty." Yuan Wenshu said

"Well, are you planning to support that Japanese noble?" Liu Wei said

"My grandfather knew that my grandson really planned that way, but there are two problems at the moment. One is that if you want to go to Japan, Jiangnan must participate."

"The other one is how can my grandson go to Jiangnan? Because of the last incident, my grandson can't go to Jiangnan now."

"The key issue is that the grandson must first negotiate the conditions with the Japanese nobles." Yuan Wenshu said

"Well, this matter is not difficult. Let me find a way. The key now is the matter of this silver mine. How long can you hide it? Will Yongyi Hou know about it?" Liu Wei said

"Don't worry, Grandfather, Yongyi Hou won't know yet, but it's hard to say after a long time. After all, the Japanese nobles are in his hands." Yuan Wenshu said

"Well, after you go back, let me briefly tell him about the general situation. If you don't cooperate, we and him will not be able to afford it."

"So tell him directly and let him deal with Jiangnan without a fire in the backyard. Compared with this silver mine, what is the future of raising those bandits?" Liu Wei said

"The grandson knows grandfather, I will write a letter immediately after I go back." Yuan Wenshu said

"Well, don't worry about going to Jiangnan. Wait until the Xu family cleans up the territory before going."

"It's winter now, so it's not advisable to send troops. Let's talk about it next year. And you're going to be a father soon. Are you willing to leave now?" Liu Wei said

"Hehe, how can you hide this little thought from your eyes?" Yuan Wenshu said

"Okay, go back and go with my granddaughter-in-law." Liu Wei said

"Grandfather, then I'll go back first." Yuan Wenshu said

After saying that, Yuan Wenshu came out of the study room. He had done all the things he should do, so he didn't have to worry about the rest.

As for whether there is that huge silver mine? Yuan Wenshu never worried about this because he had the help of gods.

After returning to his mansion, he quickly wrote another letter and sent it to Jiangnan, and then went to accompany his wife.

On the other hand, Liu Wei asked someone to go out to deliver a message, then changed his clothes and went out, wandered around aimlessly, and returned to his own mansion.

At this time, someone was waiting for him in Liu Wei's study. Liu Wei entered the study and saw the man bowing: "Old minister, please see Your Highness."

"Old Duke, please get up quickly. You don't need to be so polite. You are so anxious to find me, but what's the urgent matter?" said King Huan.

"Your Highness, the old man is so anxious to come here today because there is indeed a big event that you want to know."

"Your Highness, the child of Manjushri came to me today and said that Yongyi Hou captured a group of Japanese pirates. According to them, there is a huge silver mine in the territory of Japan, which is comparable to the sum of our dynasty." Liu Wei said

"What? What is the size of silver mine? It can actually compare with the silver of my Great Wei Dynasty? How many people know about this?" said King Huan.

"Your Highness, there are not many people who know about this silver mine now. Only four people know about it now. Apart from you and me, only Manjushri and Yongyihou know about it." Liu Wei said

King Huan was shocked at this time, and Liu Wei seemed to know, and did not disturb King Huan's thinking, but sat quietly.

At this time, King Huan was very happy because with this large silver mine, when he ascended the throne and fought, he would not waste the people and money, and no one would say that he was in a state of military power.

No, this silver mine must be in control, but what should I do? Forget it, let’s ask the Duke of Qin what he meant.

"Don't you have any good ideas?" said King Huan.

"Your Highness, according to the old minister's wishes, it's better not to let Your Majesty know about this matter." Liu Wei said

"Hmm? What do you mean? I hide it from my father? But this is using military force to other countries. How can I hide it?" said King Huan.

"Your Highness, this is naturally not something that can be hidden from the government's military service to other countries, but what if we are just hiding the matter of silver mine?" Liu Wei said
