Chapter 246: Stirring up the Storm
In the private room of the largest restaurant in Shengle, Xue Xu looked down at the collected information and thought about what to say for a while.
Wu Shaoguang is the second steward of Prince Tuoba's palace. He competes with the chief steward of the palace for his master's trust. It's just that compared to the big stewards, it's slightly inferior at the moment, and this can be exploited.
After roughly typing the draft, Xue Xu began to close his eyes and rest.
After arriving in Shengle, they had met four or five families in a row, two of which were enemies of the Helan family and the Hexi family.
Because He Lanhui and He Xiji died at the hands of Qin Sheng, the two families had been actively encouraging Tuoba Khan to raise troops and go south. Xue Xu directly bribed the rivals of the two families and let them fight against each other.
That bribery went very smoothly. Originally, the two parties disliked each other. Even if no one bribed them, they would find faults with each other. If you say something, he will say something else. Now that someone is buying them off, they are more active and energetic in finding fault with each other!
The other two families are the families of generals that Tuobalian has offended. Xue Xu encouraged them while giving him money to kill him while he was sick. It would be a pity for you not to take action at this time.
These are relatively easy to access. The higher you go up in class, the harder it is to get in touch. But there is no need to contact the generals of Xianbei anymore. They can only go up to make sense.
At the same time, they spent a lot of money to spread public opinion at the bottom that delayed Chun Mu.
Whether in Xianbei or Dali, for ordinary people, food and clothing are always their top concern. Those who do not want to fight, those who have no face, must give way to food and clothing.
Outside the restaurant, Qin Sheng walked around for a while before returning to the restaurant.
Xue Xu was on the second floor, and Qin Sheng climbed up the ladder.
On the corridor, a beautiful sachet lay quietly there. Looking at the sachet in front of him, he stepped over it expressionlessly.
The private room was already becoming lively, and it was obvious that the guests had arrived.
Qin Sheng was wearing a black short-sleeved uniform and was quietly guarding the door.
This look was requested by Xue Xu. He couldn't be too poorly dressed. After all, they were here to spread their wealth. If they were dressed too poorly, people would be suspicious of them. But if they were dressed too well, they would be afraid of causing trouble with his face.
Qin Sheng thought he had dressed as low-key as possible, but Xue Xu was still not satisfied.
He pretended not to be able to see her, because his wife loved his appearance, so there was no way for him to deliberately ruin it!
Thinking of his wife, Qin Sheng thought of what his wife said about him being short of money before he came out. He couldn't help but get angry. The people here in Xianbei Yaxing were still not good enough. He only robbed them once and became good-behaved!
Shouldn't it be that the young ones are promoted to the old ones and a steady stream of money is given to them? !
In the private room, the atmosphere between Xue Xu and Wu Shaoguang was just right. One was willing to flatter them, and the other was willing to flatter them. It could be said that they were enjoying themselves harmoniously.
Xue Xu gave away the generous gifts, and enjoyed some singing and dancing. After a while, they exchanged cups and cups, and the two of them immediately called themselves brothers and talked much more casually.
Xue Xu quickly turned the topic to the arrest of Tuoba Lian, "We have a saying in the south, the younger son and the older grandson are the lifeblood of an old man. The Khan must be very worried when little prince Tuoba is arrested. ”
Wu Guang took a sip of wine and said, "Isn't that right? Does Dugu Tian, the chief steward of our palace, know? He taught our eldest prince to seize the point of respect between brothers and sisters and cater to our Khan."
The guy took advantage of this to gain a lot of face in front of the eldest prince. Thinking of this, he took another sip of wine.
Hearing this, Xue Xu smiled and shook his head. This scene happened to fall into Wu Guangguang's eyes, "Why are you laughing?"
Xue Xu hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's better not to say anything. What I said is a bit too much. It's not good for you to listen."
This made him want to avoid being ashamed, "If you have something to say, just say it. I will judge whether it is good or not."
"Then I'll just tell you the truth?"
"explain!"
"As the first crown prince and the first heir, the eldest prince is wrong to just talk about emotions in this matter. He should look at the overall situation and persuade the Khan."
Before Wu Shaoguang could figure it out, Xue Xu continued, "Khan is the Lord of Eagles. Do you think he cares about whether the heir is a brother or sister, or whether he cares about the overall situation?"
This time, Xue Ruo made it clearer.
Don't be ashamed and shocked. It turned out that the chief steward was wrong to suggest that the king should imitate the Han brothers, friends and brothers. Come to think of it, it's true.
For a moment, he was a little restless and couldn't taste the food. To be honest, he wants to go back to the palace!
"And when the eagle gets old, he will be afraid of his ambitious and powerful adult son, and prefers younger children." Xue Xu said meaningfully.
He crazily hinted that for the eldest prince, the second prince and the youngest prince Tuobalian were his biggest threats, and the other brothers were nothing compared to them. It would be a pity for the eldest prince not to take this opportunity to get rid of Tuobalian.
"Are you not an ordinary businessman?" Wu Guang asked suddenly.
Xue Xu pretended to be stunned for a moment, then pretended to hesitate, then made up his mind and revealed his identity to him secretly.
Don't be embarrassed. It's no wonder that the Han people are very afraid of the Xianbei people. This time, the Han people are also very afraid of the Xianbei people sending troops.
"That's it for today. Your name is Xue Xu, right? I have made a promise to be your friend. Next time I come to Shengle, I will treat you well!" Wu Guang picked up the cup and took the last sip of wine.
Xue Xu quickly picked up the wine glass and drank with him.
Don't be embarrassed and just wait for him to finish drinking before walking out. Xue Xu will naturally get up and see him off.
As soon as he appeared, the people he brought gathered around him.
Don't be shy: "I like your Dali tea."
Xue Xu replied proudly, "When I get back, I'll have someone send you some. It's a pity that I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any, otherwise I would have sent you some directly."
Wu Xiguang nodded, which was considered an agreement, and then he led people downstairs.
Xue Xu looked at Zhou Da, who nodded at him, indicating that he had already taken care of the people Wu Xiguang brought.
Every time Xue Xu made an appointment to meet someone, Zhou Da would also take care of the people the other party brought. As the saying goes, it's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little devil. Anyway, it's money that opens the way and flattens all the bad things.
Take care of everything, don't ask people to say good things for you, just ask them not to say bad things, and deliberately ruin their things.
Xue Xu drew a check mark on the little notebook, and then stretched his body. They would meet the people from the second prince's side again, and that would be enough.
This trip cost a lot of money, and they basically spent all the gold, silver and jewelry they brought.
Playing politics is really expensive!
Qin Sheng felt the same way about this matter, because all the money spent was his wife's! He felt it very well.
