Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 329 Jealousy

In the camp, Song Fen was admiring his newly acquired sword when Song Ling rushed in with a roar.

"Brother, Song Yuan is about to steal the show in the northwest, and you are still so calm."

Song Fen was surprised when he saw him: "If you are not guarding the station, what are you doing here? If you are discovered and reported to Song Run, he will definitely look for trouble."

"I walked outside and deliberately avoided Zhangye so he couldn't find me." Song Ling was very angry, but his mind was still very clear.

Seeing that he was indeed holding back his anger, Song Fen put down his sword and asked, "Were you reprimanded?"

Song Fen knew his biological brother very well. If he hadn't been reprimanded, he wouldn't have come to him.

Song Ling's mouth was tilted with hatred on his face: "When Song Yuan was inspecting Jiuquan, I sent people to cause trouble for him twice, and Song Run actually knew about it."

"What are you asking him for?" Song Qian couldn't figure it out: "It's within his authority to visit Jiuquan, and it doesn't hinder you."

Song Ling's cheeks twitched twice, but he didn't say anything. Song Fen understood that he was simply causing trouble for Song Yuan. Suddenly, Song Fen didn't know what to say about him.

"Song Yuan has no conflict with us, please stop bullying him."

Song Ling was dissatisfied: "He has already stolen the limelight. Haven't you heard, brother? My father has said it himself, as long as he can make the northwest prosperous, he will be given a king's title. We have to endure the wind and sand in the northwest for several years before we can win the title of father." After the emperor ascended the throne, he got the title, how can he be a yellow-haired boy, and he has the right to be on an equal footing with us for what he has done?"

These words made Song Fen frown. Although he was not in Jingzhao, he also knew how much Song Yuan had done in the matter of Emperor Hong Ming's ascension to the throne. Not giving him a title after Emperor Hong Ming ascended the throne was already venting his personal anger. Now he said that he would To ennoble him, the prerequisite is that the northwest is rich.

The northwest is a poor place. If they could really become rich and only give them one title, Emperor Hongming would have taken advantage of him.

Song Yuan is obviously suffering!
But these words came to his throat, and Song Fen swallowed them down. He knew very well what kind of temper his biological brother was, and knew that these words would be in vain. He would only feel that he was partial to Song Yuan.

"It's not easy to make the northwest rich. It will take at least a few years. What's the rush?" Song Wei's words of comfort were perfunctory.

Song Ling was still dissatisfied: "Brother, don't you know what he did? The county magistrate is in charge of the civil affairs of a county, so it doesn't matter if he is a higher-ranking official. Whatever he says is whatever he says. Everyone has to listen to him. People who have been in office for more than ten years have to listen to a yellow-haired boy like him, but he is really awesome."

"Has he directly offended you?" Song Fen felt that Song Ling's hatred for Song Yuan was a bit inexplicable: "You are several years older than him, why are you so obsessed with competing with him?"

Song Ling remained silent. He knew Song Pun's temper. If he knew that he had close contacts with the Xiongnu in private and tried to drag Song Yuan into trouble, he would definitely not let him go.His reaction was obviously guilty, and Song Fen's face darkened: "I'm warning you, don't make trouble for Song Yuan. Behind him are the Crown Prince and Song Run. If you offend them both, I can't protect you."

"Brother, are you just looking at Song Yuan being in the limelight?" Song Ling shouted: "How well we arranged it before. If he hadn't stepped in and cut off our financial path, why would the brothers worry about a few tattered cotton clothes? Now Later, he started to build water conservancy projects. He was able to get 20 taels of silver from the court, and he also asked the people to raise tens of thousands of taels on their own. Some people had mentioned building water conservancy projects before, but the court ignored them. He only came here a few days ago. Months, that's what people want."

He was emotionally unstable, and Song Fen didn't bother to talk anymore: "He is the governor and governor, and is in charge of civil affairs. These things are his duties. Even if you want to cause trouble for him, you shouldn't find fault in these places. You are so I feel aggrieved because I feel that I am a few years older than him, but in the end, I am not as popular as him?"

The reason for the anger was found out, Song Ling's face was not very good, and she hurriedly defended: "Father won't let us leave the northwest after he ascended the throne, and I don't know how many years he will let us stay in this ghost place, I'm afraid Song Yuan will leave before us Here, I just don’t want him to come here for a formality and then go back with his achievements to enjoy the glory and wealth.”

"The Wei Dynasty has had a truce with the Xiongnu for many years, and it is difficult to achieve military success. You are impetuous." Song Fen saw the key to the problem at a glance: "We all followed the path of military politics under the arrangement of our father. Song Yuan followed the path of civil affairs, and left us with peace and prosperity. It is understandable that he has more places to show his talents, but even so, it does not mean that our achievements will be easily crushed by him, and there is no need to be so anxious about leaving the northwest."

Song Ling immediately came over: "Now that the prince is in power, my father is having fun in the palace every day. I am really worried that my father will be confused and pass the throne to the prince. You and I have been in the northwest since we left home, so we have no chance. If you go to Jingzhao to manage your connections, if you really get to this point, can you just let others take advantage of you?"

Song Pun understood his ambition, but Song Pun didn't understand his eagerness.

"Then what do you want? Now ask for an order to leave the northwest and re-establish business elsewhere? Which one can you join, the southern army or the northern army? The prince's rule has become a fact. You just go back and stay with your father every day. My father is still there. Can I support you so that you can surpass the prince?"

Song Ling was at a loss for words. He couldn't solve these problems. Emperor Hongming favored Song Chun. How could he let others threaten him?Just the thought of dying in the northwest made him irritable.

He wanted to go to Jingzhao to be a prince with great power, not a prince who lived in a military tent and lived a hard life.

"Go back early." Song Pun chased him away: "Song Run just reprimanded you, so there's no guarantee that he won't cause trouble for you again. If he finds out that you left the station without permission, I can't protect you."

Song Ling got up displeased, walked to the door of the camp and looked back at Song Pun. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't have the guts to express his thoughts.

He really wanted to trick Song Yuan into seducing him. As long as Song Yuan nodded, he could resell the cotton to the Xiongnu through his hands on the pretext of supplying the cotton to the army. It was not a small sum of money. Jiuquan was bitterly cold, and the oil and water were far inferior to those of other counties. , he was really greedy for the huge profits brought by cotton. If Song Fen was willing to help, then the two brothers would make a lot of money. Isn't this better than doing some small business with the Huns?
But he couldn't guarantee that Song Yuan would be obedient, let alone that he wouldn't betray himself to Song Chun and Song Run. If Song Chun or Song Run knew that he had close contacts with the Huns, then it would be as Song Fen said, no one would Can't save him.

Song Ling was struggling all the way. After thinking over and over again, he suddenly thought of a good way.

Didn't I say that the Wei Dynasty and the Huns had a truce? If someone provokes a war, wouldn't there be only two ways to respond to the war and seek peace?No matter what he chooses, it will not be a loss for him.
