Xuanfu, Shanxi Province, on the widest street in the city, although the weather is very cold, carriages drive by from time to time.
Each carriage is very spacious.
Although it is not luxurious, it is definitely comfortable.
In other words, these carriages are very practical.
What's a bit strange is that these carriages all went in the same direction, and finally stopped at the door of the same house.
There was a large plaque on the door with the words "Fan Mansion" written on it.
On both sides of the plaque, there are red lanterns hanging high, with the word "Fan" affixed to them.
There were two rows of servants standing at the door of the mansion.
When they saw a carriage approaching, they rushed over to greet it and soon led the people who came out of the carriage into the mansion.
In the lobby of the second courtyard, the door was closed, and a row of strong servants stood at the door.
After seeing a middle-aged man wearing a mink coat approaching, a leading servant quickly shouted: "Master Wang is here" and then opened the door to let Mr.
Wang in.
When closing the door, I glanced inside the lobby and saw seven people sitting there.
In the lobby, after Mr.
Wang entered, the seven people inside all stood up, exchanged brief greetings, and immediately found their seats to get ready, without any sloppiness at all.
At the head of the table is a middle-aged man with a rich face, but a shrewd and capable temperament.
However, his expression was a bit serious at this time.
After seeing everyone sit down, he immediately said: "The Chinese New Year is about to come, but I have to invite everyone here in a hurry.
I have no choice.
Something happened in the capital."
Upon hearing this, the man above him on the left, Mr.
Wang just now, frowned, and immediately turned to look at him and asked: "Brother Fan, is this the matter of Mr.
Han's dismissal?
I already knew this before. ” The other six people listened and nodded.
If that's all, they all know about it.
Brother Fan, the man on the throne, whose surname is Fan and whose given name is Yongdou, shook his head and said with a serious face: "Master Han resigned on his own.
He wanted to retreat in order to advance, so let's not talk about it for now.
I will tell everyone Please come, it’s a letter from Mr.
Han.”
Having said this, he took out a letter from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Mr.
Wang, also known as Wang Dengku.
Then, without returning to his seat, he stood there and said to several others: "Master Cao is dead, and his head is hanging on the Meridian Gate, and " Before he finished speaking, the people present were all shocked.
Mr.
Cao is the censor of Zuodu.
How can he be gone without saying anything?
For them, above the court, Cao Yubian was more important to them than Han Xu.
After all, Han Xu had just been promoted to be the chief assistant not long ago, and luckily it was the result of Cao Yubian's activities.
If Han Xu just resigned and stayed home, they would not take it seriously.
After all, there should not be too many such things in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
But if Cao Yubian was killed, he would never have a chance.
"Brother Fan, how could the situation in the court have changed so drastically?"
A thin man couldn't sit still and simply stood up and asked.
Among these eight families, because the Fan family had wider connections there and even recognized a clan member, the Fan family has always been the leader.
Because of this, most matters in the court are handled by the Fan family on behalf of the eight families.
Now that such a big thing has happened, of course they have to ask Fan Yongdou for details.

Hearing his question, Fan Yongdou frowned and said: "Master Han said in the letter that the emperor's temperament changed drastically because of Da Jin's entry into the customs.
It is difficult to understand.
This is the result of a moment of negligence."
The other seven people present couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they heard this.
Unexpectedly, Daikin's entry into the customs would bring about such a bad thing.
Originally, they welcomed Daikin to enter the country.
After a war, Daikin will be able to grab more property.
With strong financial resources, they can make more money when doing business.
And after Daikin tastes the sweetness, there will be more demand for military supplies, which will also make their business scale larger.
It was for this reason that they all followed Fan Yongdou's advice and contributed a lot to Dajin's entry into the country.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing and a curse, as the emperor's temperament changed drastically, causing their power in the court to be greatly damaged.
This is usually accumulated slowly with money, but this time it was really a heavy loss.
At this time, Wang Dengyun had already read Han Xu's letter, handed it to the nearest Wang Dayu, and said with a wry smile: "Also, Mr.
Cao's house was ransacked, and his Yongchang ticket number was also blocked."
Hearing this, Zhai Tang next to him shook his head and said: "The money for the ticket number is a trivial matter.
The eight of us just pooled it together.
But matters in the court cannot be solved immediately with money.
Chao If there is no one who can speak in the hall, it will be difficult for us to do business in the future. " When the youngest Huang Yunfa heard this, he suddenly had a grimace on his face, glanced at the other seven people and said, "Is this transaction a loss?"
"It's not a loss."
Fan Yongdou immediately denied: "Everyone should be aware of the gains when Dajin enters the customs this time.
The current plan, I think, is to follow what Mr.
Han said.
Each family will collect a sum of money first and take it with them immediately.
In the capital, Mr.
Han and his friends are responsible for the activities.”
Having said this, he glanced at the reactions of the other seven people and said: "After this war, we are not the only ones who are unlucky.
The second assistant Li Biao, as well as the censors and officials, etc. are all the same.
The capital is about to We will certainly reward a group of officials based on their merits.
As long as we take advantage of this opportunity, we should be able to reverse some of the situation."
After hearing this, the other seven people were silent, obviously calculating the gains and losses in their hearts.
Suddenly, Liang Jiabin, who had been silent for a long time, reminded him: "Will there be any problems with those things we sent to cooperate with Daikin?
The news I got from the capital seems to hate Daikin all over the capital, and those who have taken refuge in Daikin."
Jin and the people who helped Dai Jin.”
"Yes, I also got the news here.
Now everyone in the capital is talking about it."
Jin Liangyu nodded and agreed.
After hearing this, Fan Yongdou waved his hands and said: "It's normal for them to be angry.
This time Dajin entered the customs, most of them suffered losses.
In addition, the people we sent out were all confidants, and they have already left the customs with Daikin.
Who can Even if someone bites us and wants to frame him, it’s not like there is no one in the court.”
Hearing this, the others nodded.
Among them, Jin Liangyu clapped his hands and said bitterly: "Really, Your Majesty, why did you kill Governor Yuan so quickly?
Otherwise, if we spread some news casually, he would be the best target." " Before anyone else could respond, Fan Yongdou also clapped his hands and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past.
Let's sum up what Mr.
Han said.

Marshal Ma also needs to transport some money and food.
At least I hope that after Marshal Ma goes to the capital, he can appear stronger and stronger than other King Qin's troops
