The chief of the imperial guards heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately put his hands down by his side and answered loudly. After a while, he said again: "Minister, the imperial envoy..."
Wei An has already made all the arrangements, and the next step is to deal with Shen Chen.
Liu Biping turned his gaze towards him and asked calmly, "What happened?"
"After the Imperial Envoy sent Princess Shouning away, he immediately summoned the people of the four major families. I heard from our family that the Imperial Envoy said that he intended to select a leader from the four major families to be the president of a chamber of commerce and have this president preside over the construction of the Maritime Customs." The head of the imperial guards himself did not quite understand the meaning of this, so he tried his best to say what he heard: "The four major families are all very interested in this position."
Of course I would be interested. Who can resist money
Shen Chen is now an imperial envoy, and his opinions reflect the opinions of the imperial court. Since he said that a president of the Chamber of Commerce could be appointed who would be solely responsible to the Maritime Customs, then it is true.
This means that the leading company can directly participate in the affairs of the Maritime Customs no matter what.
Liu Biping raised his eyebrows, obviously very interested in knowing more, and asked the chief guard: "What else did you say?"
"And more." The chief guard responded hastily: "And more, the imperial envoy said that the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not only in charge of the departure of these families' ships, but is also responsible for receiving envoys from various countries and transporting tributes to the capital."
The bait is so plump.
Liu Biping couldn't help but laugh: "Won't the four families fight to the death?"
"Not really." The head of the personal guards became serious again: "From what our family members said, the imperial envoy has already made it clear that he prefers the Xu family."
Instead of dangling this piece of fat meat to attract those families to flock to it, they directly decided on the candidate
What exactly does Shen Chen want to do
Liu Biping frowned for a moment and then relaxed his brows - everyone said that Marquis Pingxi had a special feeling for Princess Shouning, and now it seemed to be true.
He actually did it for Wei An. He wanted to finish things here quickly so that he could go and help Wei An.
He is really a romantic.
Their Shen family is really, wow, so many romantic people.
Liu Biping smiled and told him: "Didn't they say that several noble families have invited Shen Chen to dinner tonight?"
Not only did he invite Shen Chen, he also sent invitations to many officials.
At the Governor's Office, although the incident with Mr. Hu had just happened, casting a shadow on the relationship between the imperial envoy and the governor, no one dared to be rude and the invitation was delivered.
The chief of the personal guards immediately hummed: "Is the minister going?"
"I have received urgent military information, so of course I cannot go." Liu Biping sneered, "But the Imperial Envoy has been busy for so long, we should also show some hospitality."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the chief guard: "The Xu family has always been ranked last among the four families. They came up later, probably because of Mr. Xu. Shen Chen wants to use the Xu family to deal with me and the Liu family. If he can support the Xu family, then he can naturally support the other two families. He must think so. He wants to let the Chen and Wang families see clearly through this, so that they can rely on him and work for him willingly."
The captain of the guards lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Biping then said: "But his thinking is a little too naive, really childish."
The business world is like a battlefield.
He is now distributing the profits to the Xu family. Has he ever thought about what the other families will think
The chief of the guards understood something and looked up at him, hesitantly: "You mean..."
"I heard that Master Chen's son likes the daughter of the Xu family the most." Liu Biping looked at his nails slowly and said word by word: "Aren't the daughter of the Xu family and him also in love with each other?"
Not really
The chief guard hesitated.
The affairs of Rongcheng could not be hidden from the Governor's Office. The Governor's Office was well-established and was a member of the Liu family, so they also knew the secrets of the Xu family. It was true that the son of Master Chen liked the daughter of the Xu family, but it was certain that the daughter of the Xu family did not like Master Chen - Master Chen was a simpleton and had always been stupid.
Because of this, his younger brothers have all started families and have children, but he still has not settled down.
Although Mr. Chen is stupid, he is very handsome and honest. He has liked to follow Miss Xu since he was a child.
When we were young, no one cared about it, but when we grew up, things gradually became different.
The daughter of the Xu family has always been very sensitive about this.
The Chen family is different.
They want to marry into the Xu family.
For this, the Chen family was willing to pay a dowry of 500,000 taels.
Because of this, there was a sensation in Rongcheng at that time.
But the daughter of the Xu family refused, and the matter was delayed.
Now Liu Biping said this...
The chief guard didn't quite understand what he meant.
Liu Biping then gave him a reminder: "People go up and water flows down. People want to climb higher. Who would really want to marry a fool? The girl naturally likes young talents. In this case, wouldn't it be better for us to help her?"
The chief of the guards suddenly realized: "You mean..."
If the daughter of the Xu family climbed into Shen Chen's bed and Shen Chen slept with the girl, then wouldn't it be obvious why the Xu family was able to stand out from the four major families
Who will buy his account
If the Chen family knew this, how would they view him
In this case, Shen Chen will at least be in trouble.
If the incident gets too serious, it’s unclear whether the imperial envoy can keep his position.
If I tell him about Wei An's news when he is in a mess, he will have no choice.
This is really a good strategy.
Firstly, it casts an unclear shadow of the relationship between Shen Chen and the Xu family, which arouses doubts. Secondly, how would the Chen family feel
The Liu and Wang families also took the opportunity to cause some trouble.
And the most important thing is, with something like this happening, Princess Shouning must be in a state of panic, right
Liu Biping raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded lightly.
The chief of the personal guards couldn't help but smile: "The minister is wise! This way, the alliance he just formed with the Xu family will be destroyed, and he will be unable to move forward at all."
"Go ahead and do it." Liu Biping didn't respond to him, but just reminded him: "Explain it clearly to Miss Xu, don't make her feel reluctant. This kind of thing must be willing by both sides to be interesting."
The chief of the guards naturally understood.
When Shen Chen was put together with the idiot from the Chen family, even the idiot knew how to choose. There was no need to exert any effort at all, the daughter of the Xu family naturally made her choice.
And where is Shen Chen
Perhaps today's wine is particularly intoxicating. As a man, when he is drunk, anything can happen.
Who can refuse a beauty that comes to your doorstep
After he agreed, he did not dare to delay at all and contacted them immediately.
It is easy to send a letter to Xu's daughter to persuade her, but it takes some effort to deal with Shen Chen.
