Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's journey was very smooth. No one suddenly jumped out to ambush them.
Many officials from Yaozhou had come. The two of them were anxious to see the little ones and did not meet them. They only sent someone to deliver a letter to He Yiwei, encouraging him.
When the two of them arrived at Yaowang Mountain and saw Empress Wang, the two little ones were already sleeping next to each other.
Just like watching rare animals, Xiaobei and the others looked at the little ones one by one. Their mouths were still moving while they were sleeping.
"So small." Xiaobei measured the two little ones' height with his hand.
"You're not big either." Xiaoyuan added.
"I'm still bigger than them. In the future, they'll be under my protection. No one is allowed to bully them." Xiaobei reached out and touched the little girl's mouth. The little one, whose mouth was still moving, turned her head towards Xiaobei's finger, wanting to suck on it.
Empress Wang had people bring over a lot of food. She glanced at the two children and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in a low voice, "When are you leaving? Why don't you stay at Yaowang Mountain for a few more days? "
"We'll leave after two days. We'll go to the capital with Your Majesty and take charge of the Tang Bank. Trouble is coming." Zhang Xiaobao knew that Empress Wang was reluctant to part with her children, but she had no choice.
Empress Wang looked at her children again. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is it Wu Huifei who's causing trouble for you? Blue Sea Silver Sand has stolen a lot of business from Between the Clouds and the Water. "
"She asked for it. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about Blue Sea Silver Sand. This summer, a new chain restaurant will appear. It will form a tripartite balance of power with Blue Sea Silver Sand and Between the Clouds and the Water. They will compete and develop with each other. The trouble is with the bank. Someone is depositing a lot of money in the capital. Presumably, they want to go to the most remote Tang Bank to withdraw it."
Zhang Xiaobao was telling Empress Wang some things.
Empress Wang was not stupid. When she heard Zhang Xiaobao's confident words, she immediately understood. She looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in confusion and asked, "Why did you find yourself an opponent?"
"The first is for balance, and the second is for progress. If one party is strong, they will lose the motivation to develop if they lack a sense of crisis. They are born in worries and die in peace and happiness. It's just that they are prepared for danger in times of peace. It's the same for business and politics. It's the same for one party and the other. Nothing in the world goes beyond that."
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he dipped his hand into the tea and drew a Tai Chi diagram on the table. He said, "Yin and Yang, blending with each other and moving with the momentum. Yang turns into Yin, and Yin follows Yang. Just like a bicycle, it's the most stable when moving."
Empress Wang nodded. Although she couldn't understand the deeper meaning, she knew the general idea. She seemed to be talking to herself, "Speaking of which, the harem should also be moved. Can the bank handle it? It's my fault for causing trouble for you two. If it weren't for this, why would Wu Huifei target you two? "
Wang Juan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to think like that. Xiao Bao and I have been waiting for her to make a move. It's better for her to make a move than others. Sooner or later, there will be people who will cause trouble for the bank. It's better to do it in the open. After this, the bank can be stable for a long time."
"Really?" Even though Empress Wang already thought that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could handle it, she still asked with uncertainty.
"Of course. Do they have names?" Wang Juan replied with certainty. She turned her head to look at the two little guys sleeping there.
Speaking of the children, Empress Wang's face showed a motherly smile, "Yes, one is called Li Jun, and the other is called Pan 'er. After this farewell, I don't know when I can see them again. Ah!"
"Wait until Xiao Bao and I deal with the trivial matters in Jili Province. In the future, we will be able to see each other at least twice a year. Niang niang, don't worry. Jun 'er and Pan' er will not suffer any grievances at our place. At that time, I will find a wet nurse for them. The next time niang niang sees them, you will see two white and chubby little guys."
Wang Juan knew that it was too cruel for any mother to let the children leave her side, but what could she do? Did she dare to leave the two little guys in the palace? The only thing she could do was to try her best to guarantee.
"Ah! Fine, I will return to the capital with you the day after tomorrow. His Majesty has already sent someone to ask when we will return. It's on the way. The Commander-In-Chief of Song Mo's Manor is very ambitious. You have opposed him time and time again. Be careful that he will do something bad to you. "
"I know. He actually wants autonomy. It would be best if he becomes a vassal state of the Tang Empire. Then, he will gradually become independent. If he doesn't send troops, Xiao Bao will slowly deal with him. At that time, even if he wants to send troops, he will have no troops to send. If he is in a hurry to send troops, it will be even better.
If he thinks that others can't do anything to him because of the advantage of the terrain, I will let him know what special jungle warfare is. If it really doesn't work, I will burn the mountains on his side. "
Wang Juan had never thought much of the Khitans. The main reason was that the Khitans were now divided into various tribes. The total population was not large. If they really fought, it would be enough to divide them. When the time came, they would send the Khitans to Shuzhou or Baoxin County. What kind of trouble could they cause?
Empress Wang also knew a lot about war. Seeing Wang Juan's indifferent appearance, she reminded her with concern, "Cuckoo, be careful not to push him too far. He will take his tribesmen to the Turks. It is not good for our dynasty to send an army to attack the Turks."
"If he really dares to go to the Turks, it will be even better. I will fight the Turks as well. I am worried that I won't have a place to use my new weapon. How big is it? It will be good to know its weaknesses and strengths. It will increase the speed of research."
As Wang Juan was speaking, Pan 'er was woken up by Xiao Bei's kiss. She was sleeping comfortably. When she opened her eyes and saw that she didn't recognize anyone and that there was no one she could rely on, she opened her mouth and cried.
Xiao Bei embarrassedly stuck out his tongue. "Crying."
"This child. Come, give her to me." Empress Wang smiled as she picked up her daughter. She shook her, coaxed her, and quickly fell asleep again.
Two days later, everyone set out. Empress Wang's group was not small. The people in charge of protection rode along the banks and followed, following the flow of the river toward the capital.
The people who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of Yaowang Mountain finally let out a sigh of relief. Yaowang Mountain was open. Everyone rushed over like a tide.
Before Zhang Xiaobao's group reached the capital, there were fast horses coming from downstream. They found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were with Empress Wang, and reported, "Young Master, Young Lady, there is news from Suzhou. There is a run on the Great Tang private bank. The private bank is currently mobilizing cash. Between the Clouds and the Water and Sea and Clouds have already prepared to take action."
"Got it. They actually ran to Suzhou. I thought they would go somewhere else. Hurry up and tell the Suzhou money house to release the news of free deposits. There will be no processing fees for people depositing and exchanging money."
