Chapter 22: The Vortex

Guan Yingzhen, Wu Liangsi, leader of the Chu Party, although his rank was slightly inferior to Yue Su's, his appeal and strength were far superior to Yue Su's. Because of his rank and the friendship with his fellow countrymen, Yue Su went out to greet him in person. After all, Wu Liangsi was with him.

When he first arrived at the court, he was the first person to greet him.

Yue Su invited the two of them to the flower hall to serve tea. They sat down separately and exchanged a few words. Yue Su knew in his heart that these two people must not go to the Three Treasures Hall for business. In all likelihood, they were for the same thing as Wang Wenyan just now.

Therefore, Yue Su didn't make it clear, didn't ask the other party what he was doing here, and just made some useless chatter. He just waited for the other party to speak first.

Sure enough, after chatting for a long time, Wu Liangsi finally couldn't help but said: "I heard that Mr. Yue sealed off Tantuo Temple today and took away the imperial seal to abbot Pusheng Zen Master. I wonder if this is true or false?"

"Master Wu is indeed very well informed, and this is indeed the case." Yue Su said with a faint smile.

"But I don't know why? How do you want to sentence Zen Master Pusheng?" Wu Liangsi asked again.

"The obscene monk Dharmajue has betrayed the divine grace and turned a thousand-year-old temple into a filthy place and a place of obscenity. He built a secret secret room, robbed men and women, sought wealth and killed people, forced alchemy, and occupied people's fields, etc.

This is a heinous incident. If these villains cannot be punished, how can the laws of nature exist and how can the laws of the country be enforced?" Yue Su said with great righteousness.

"It is really a blessing to the country and the people that your Excellency has such thoughts." Wu Liangsi praised, then changed the topic and said: "But after all, Zen Master Pusheng is a holy monk conferred by the emperor. If your Excellency accuses him, wouldn't it be wrong?

This is a slap in the face of the imperial court and the disgrace of His Majesty’s Holy Might. Let’s not mention this. Let’s just talk about the relationship between the Holy Lady and the Holy Monk. If you become a Dharma Enlightenment, your future will be worrying. We are all Jingchu scholars, so Wu

I just woke up..."

Okay, it seems that almost everyone in the government and the public knows about the relationship between Mrs. Fengsheng and the lewd monk Fajue, but no one dares to speak out.

"Yes..." Yue Su was stunned deliberately, as if he was just waking up from a dream, and said: "Master Wu is right. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have thought of this. But now that the person has been arrested, the temple has also

It's been sealed, the case has been tried, and the confessions have been signed. If I want to go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to."

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The dignity of the imperial court is much more important than the gain or loss of a person's honor or disgrace. If your Majesty were to be open-minded and just say that you misunderstood the unscrupulous people, wrongly arrested good people, offered a few words to the Zen Master, and dismissed the lawsuit, everything would be over.

Anyone with knowledge will understand your great efforts and sing your praises." This time, it was Guan Yingzhen who was sitting aside who spoke.

After hearing this, Yue Su secretly laughed in his heart, "Who are the knowledgeable people in this court? Just now someone wanted me to expose the scandal of the holy lady, and then there will be people who can speak out to help;

Once, two fellow villagers asked me to release the man, and then some knowledgeable people would praise me. It seems that the water in this pool is still quite muddy."

Wang Wenyan, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi, one side asked Yue Su to handle it seriously, and the other side asked Yue Su not to handle it. Yue Su couldn't guess what each of these two parties had in mind at this time. There was still a smile on his face.

, said: "What you two gentlemen said is reasonable. Compared with my personal gains and losses, the court's laws are more important. Let me consider this matter..." After saying this, he raised the tea cup.

"The two of us will take our leave first. I hope Master Yue will weigh it again." Seeing Yue Su serving tea to see off the guests, Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi both stood up to say goodbye. Yue Su personally sent the two of them to the middle gate.

Go back. Along the way, I was thinking about their intentions.

As soon as he returned to Zhongjin, Tie Qiu ran over and said, "Sir, does anyone want to see you?"

"Who is it again?" Yue Su asked in confusion.

"It was the father-in-law who delivered the order last time. He knocked on the door in the back house. He was mysterious. As soon as I opened the door, he got inside, as if he was afraid of being seen." Tie Qiu said truthfully.

"Where are the people?"

"I asked Li Haoran to invite him to the side hall for tea. Sir, do you want to see me or not?"

"See, I'll go there now." Yue Su rushed straight to the side hall, and saw Liu Minguo, the eunuch who delivered the order last time, sitting inside. He was dressed in casual clothes, and he seemed to have specially found a fake beard to dress up. If he didn't recognize him, he really

No one will recognize it.

Yue Su cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know that Eunuch Liu was here. Yue Su missed the opportunity to greet me from afar. Please forgive me."

Liu Mingguo stood up, bowed and said politely: "Master Yue, you are so polite. I came here to say a few words to you. I wonder if you have the skills."

"What did you say, father-in-law? You are a noble person. Yue usually can't invite you if he wants to. How could Su not have time when you are here? Please sit down quickly." After Yue Su finished speaking, he waited for Liu Minguo to sit down and arrived in person.

Accompany the main position.

"I just heard from below that your Excellency is receiving guests. I think there will be a lot of distinguished guests today." Liu Mingguo said with a smile.

"Not a distinguished guest, just a friend from the past." Yue Su also smiled.

"My lord, when I first arrived in the capital, it would be fair to say that Wu Liangsi is a fellow countryman with the official Ying Zhen. But I don't know what kind of friendship he has with Wang Wenyan." Liu Mingyuo looked at Yue Su with a smile on his face.

"What? My father-in-law even knows about the visit of Wang Wenyan, Wu Liangsi and others?" Yue Su asked in confusion.

"Now Shuntian Prefecture is crowded, and people at every government office are asking about it. The visit of these three people is not a secret. I don't expect that within an hour, all the officials in Beijing, big and small, will know about it."

"In that case, why don't you, father-in-law, open the sky and tell the truth? What are you talking about here? You won't be the same as those three people." Yue Su asked with a smile.

"If my guess is correct, Wang Wenyan must have persuaded you to make a trivial matter out of a trivial matter and involve Ke Fengsheng in it. Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi probably wanted you to make a trivial matter out of a trivial matter and acquit Fajue. What do they think?

It's never happened." According to Liu Minguo, the Tantuosi case was nothing more than a big deal, and he even guessed their purpose in one sentence.

Yue Su couldn't help but be stunned and said: "How did father-in-law know?"

"It's hard to guess. Wang Wenyan has always acted as a lobbyist for the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party is now dissatisfied with Eunuch Wei and Ke Fengsheng, and is always looking for opportunities to overthrow them. Now is the opportunity.

At present, as long as we magnify this matter and involve Ke Fengsheng's head, we may be able to erase Ke Fengsheng's status in His Majesty's mind and eradicate it in one fell swoop. As for Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi, their purpose is simpler.

Yes, these two are the leaders of the Chu Party. You are from Jingchu, and your mentor is Zou Jiaren of the Qi Party. You have long been regarded as a member of the Chu Party. If you impeach Fajue, you will impeach Fajue on behalf of the Chu Party. Now

The three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang have become instigated by no one. They have become incoherent, their strength has been greatly reduced, and they have no time to protect themselves. They have no time to attack others. Behind Fa Jue is Ke Fengsheng, who is also Eunuch Wei. What about the little Chu party?

You can offend so many powerful people, so of course I have to advise you to keep things small and not cause trouble to the entire Chu Party." Liu Mingguo was chatting and laughing, as if there was nothing going on in the court that he didn't know.

Yue Su was even more confused and said: "I see, thank you Eunuch Liu for reminding me. But I don't know why Eunuch Liu said this to Su?"

"The master enforces the law like a mountain and is upright, which makes the villain admire him very much. Moreover, the master's holy family is prosperous, and his future future is limitless, so the villain comes to curry favor. I only hope that when the master becomes prosperous in the future, he will not forget the villain."

What a villain. These words came out of Liu Minguo's mouth without blushing at all. It was as if in the eyes of a businessman, this was a pure deal. I'm flattering you now. When you get rich in the future, don't forget to promote me.

Yue Su despises such people. Normally, he would have kicked out guests. But today, he did not, because with the two previous groups of people visiting, he had realized that the water in the capital was too deep to navigate the officialdom.

, not being upright can guarantee that the boat will not capsize. At the same time, he can also hear that there is more to Liu Minggao's words, and it is not just to point out the purpose of the first two groups of guests. He immediately said: "Since my father-in-law has seen it thoroughly, I don't know

Su, what should I do now? Please give me your advice."

"I don't take advice seriously. In fact, according to your nature, once you have made up your mind on how to do it, no one can stop it. I am not just analyzing a thing or two for you, but you may learn something from it." Liu Mingguo was not surprised.

He first picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said: "There are not a few people in the government and the public who know about the affairs of Ke Feng Sheng and Dharma Enlightenment. Of course, Wang Wenyan and others are also very aware of it. Why have they never said anything, but today

They came to see Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to come forward. It was obvious that they had seen His true nature and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. If Your Excellency succeeds and thus eliminates the status of Ke Feng Sheng in His Majesty's heart, they will definitely take the opportunity to come together.

Impeach Ke Feng Sheng and Wei Zhongxian. However, once your Excellency does not waver in Ke Feng Sheng's behavior, but instead makes His Majesty angry and is accused of slandering Feng Sheng's wife, then the government and the public will definitely turn against you, and Wang Wenyan and his ilk will definitely not

If you can even say a few words for you, and even step on your back, who calls you a Chu party?"

At this point, Liu Minggao picked up the tea cup again, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "If you let me go and don't pursue Dharma Awakening, I am afraid that my whole life will be ruined, and what I will get is nothing more than a reputation that is afraid of the powerful."

Chief. Qingliu may have taken the opportunity to impeach you. Even if you have His Majesty's support and will not deal with you, in the hearts of the people, there is no difference between you and those corrupt officials."

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Yue Su couldn't help laughing loudly. After a while, he stopped laughing and said: "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. I'm sorry. Yue is not talented.

I didn’t expect that because of this public case, I would be involved in the whirlpool of Vanity Fair. However, the path pointed out by my father-in-law is exactly what Su wants."

"Now that your Excellency has understood, I will leave now." Before Yue Su could see off the guests, Liu Minguo stood up to leave on his own this time.
