After sending away the servants of the Wang family, Fang Yingwu thought about it over and over again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. Then the real target of the Right Chief Minister Lu Chen was himself. The affairs of the Wang family were just a medium, but what was he worthy of?
What is he thinking about?
If there is a certain direction, many things can be explained quickly. Fang Yingwu soon thought that he had the status of a student of Shang Xiang Gong, which was probably Lu Chen's purpose.
Lu Chen planned to use some small means to drive Mr. Ning out of office, so that he could successfully take over the position of Zuo Buzong. However, Mr. Ning was supported by Mr. Shang when he was in the government in the past, and Lu Chen did not want to compete with his prestige.
Gao, the local boss Shang Xianggong is still in danger of being reinstated, so he wants to ease the relationship through other parties' aid?
It has to be said that although Fang Yingwu has never met Lu Chen, Chief Minister Lu, Fang Yingwu has figured out some of Mr. Lu's temperament through two things - this must be a very gloomy person.
A person must also be a person who likes to manipulate politics.
The first thing is that the seawall project led by the Chief Envoy Si Ning was too urgent and the corvee labor was heavy. The local people were extremely dissatisfied. Mr. Lu secretly ordered the people to go to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen to cause trouble.
The above is nothing, anyone can do such a thing. However, after the incident, there was no trouble in the Chief Envoy Department, but he had a conflict with the Weaving Bureau and burned the silk cart of the Weaving Bureau, which is more insidious.
This evil has brought fire to the guarding eunuch, and the matter is completely out of the control of the Chief Envoy. Mr. Ning is powerless to calm the situation.
And the most important thing is that if the people only make trouble with the Chief Envoy, they will not have much idea with their current indifference and irresponsible mentality - anyway, it is all the trouble caused by your civil servants.
However, the riot caused by the Chief Envoy burned the car of the Weaving Bureau directly under Ouchi, and after the guarding eunuch made a jealous report, the emperor who felt that his private property had been violated would definitely be dissatisfied with Mr. Ning.
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Lu, the right chief envoy, did not show up or say a word, but it achieved the best effect. At the same time, Shilin would not feel that Mr. Lu was fighting for power and criticizing his superiors. Everything was just a guarding eunuch.
It's Li Yi's fault, but Mr. Lu's reputation will not be lost at all.
The second thing is about the Wang family. If the guarding eunuch Li Eunuch hadn't been frightened by Wang Zhi's reputation and lost his voice, Fang Yingwu would not be sure that Mr. Lu was the troublemaker. This is completely unexpected.
It can be imagined that the Wang family is helpless in the face of difficulties from the Weaving Bureau, and Fang Yingwu, as a relatively close fellow villager, has no good solution. After all, the eunuch system and the scholar system are two different things.
At this time, Mr. Lu came forward to show his kindness and helped resolve the difficulties of the Weaving Bureau, so Fang Yingwu had to show some sympathy. This method of deceiving people first and then pulling them back is indeed very sinister.
.
Besides, if Mr. Lu wanted to invite him directly, he would definitely avoid it, but if the Lu family invited him through the Wang family, it would be difficult to refuse.
However, no one had imagined before that Fang Yingwu could directly see the guarding eunuch, and Mr. Lu would never have imagined it, let alone that Fang Yingwu could guess 80% of the truth through a combination of circumstances.
Aside from gossip, Fang Yingwu originally had no interest in the banquet tomorrow night. After all, the relationship between him and Mr. Ning, the left-hand chief envoy, is naturally close. At present, it is between the two chief envoys of the province.
When the relationship was tense, if I rashly ate and drank with the Lu family, it might cause some unnecessary things.
Moreover, after seeing through Mr. Lu's unscrupulous and sinister nature, Fang Yingwu had the idea of keeping a distance and really didn't like to deal with such people.
Anyway, no matter whether they go or not, they will take the initiative to sell well to the Wang family and help the Wang family tide over the difficulties. In the end, the face will still fall on themselves, and they will take advantage of it when the time comes.
In late spring nights, when the lanterns are first lit, Hangzhou Chengbeiguan Night Market opens, and the flow of people is as high as during the day. Many foreign guests who pass by here come to join in the fun.
Deyilou, which stands not far from the canal pier, is a well-known restaurant in Beiguan. Its name probably comes from the meaning of "if you are successful in life, you must have all the fun".
This is not the first time Wang De, a businessman from Chun'an, has come to Deyilou. He has socialized here at least seven or eight times in the past two years, but this time he was really excited because he was about to discuss business with the Lu family, the chief envoy.
Although he didn't quite understand why the Lu family would take the initiative to find him and purchase silk from him, Wang De felt that it was not surprising that he had been in business for two years and had gained a bit of a reputation in the Beiguan area, attracting customers.
When a high-ranking official of the second rank marries a daughter, the dowry and extravagance will definitely be high. You may have to buy hundreds of pieces of silk, satin and silk yarn in one go, which is a big deal.
But what makes Wang De even more excited is that this will be the best demonstration, and it is an extremely rare demonstration. Even the dignified chief minister’s family uses his Wang De’s silk, which is extremely glorious and adds luster.
The advertising benefits contained cannot be underestimated.
Good news, absolutely good news, and even rare good news after the recent bad luck! Since Wang De came to Hangzhou to do business, this is one of the best development opportunities he has encountered.
It was said that the steward of the Lu family sent a message to invite Wang De. The steward of the Lu family should arrive early, and Wang De could arrive a little later. But Mr. Wang didn't think so. He was afraid of neglecting his customers, so he came to Deyi Building early.
Waiting at the gate.
In the excitement and anxiety, Wang De didn't know how long he had to wait until he finally saw the servant who brought down the lantern to the Lu Mansion appeared.
Wang De hurriedly greeted him, bowed deeply to the person behind the lantern, and said loudly: "Isn't the person in front of me the manager Tang Guotang?"
Two people flashed out from behind the lantern. One was dressed as a middle-aged scholar and did not speak. The other, a capable man in his thirties, returned the salute slightly and said, "That's right. Is your Excellency Wang Yuanwai?"
Facing the big customers who might bring him huge profits, Wang De kept his posture very low and said repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly, welcome from a distance! Please come in!"
Manager Tang did not move, but said to the middle-aged scribe next to him: "Mr. Zhang, are you leaving?" The man named Mr. Zhang looked around for a moment, frowned and said, "Why don't you see my friend Fang?"
Manager Tang immediately turned his head and asked Wang De, "Where is Fang Yingwu's friend? In the post below, it was clearly stated that I entrusted Yuan Wang to invite friend Fang to come here with me?"
Wang De was stunned. To be honest, he had been thinking about his own business just now and didn't think about Fang Yingwu. So he didn't care whether Fang Yingwu arrived or not. If the other party hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it.
I once invited Fang Yingwu.
Seeing Wang De's expression, Manager Tang and Mr. Zhang knew that Fang Yingwu must not be there. Mr. Zhang said to Manager Tang: "If friend Fang is not here, there is no need to waste time tonight."
Wang De heard clearly that Mr. Zhang, who spoke with great weight, was here for Fang Yingwu and would leave if he didn't see Fang Yingwu. He didn't think much about it before, he just said that they were all from the circle of scholars.
Things, but judging from the current situation, it is not that simple.
Is Fang Yingwu so important that he can't do business without him? How can he be like a ghost? The most terrible thing is that the two people on the other side want to leave without seeing Fang Yingwu? What about his chances?
manage?
Wang Yuan was very successful in business and had some adaptability. He wiped his sweat suddenly and interjected: "I sent someone to invite you yesterday, but I don't know why I didn't come.
Why don't you two go in and take a seat first, and then I'll send someone to invite you later. He lives not far from each other, and it's very quick to go back and forth. It's not too late to invite him over now!"
Manager Tang also advised Mr. Zhang, who was very embarrassed to talk, and said, "That's fine. Now that you're here, you can't go in vain."
So the three of them entered the Deyi Building and went straight to the second floor, where they had already prepared a clean and elegant pavilion. Wang De was waiting for Tang and Zhang, and they sat down and said enthusiastically: "You two have tea first, and I'll take this next step.
So I ordered my servants to call Fang Yingwu to come over and make sure that you two can see each other tonight."
"Go quickly!" Mr. Zhang waved his hand, and Wang De went out to find his servants to give instructions.
After watching Wang De go out, Mr. Zhang whispered to Manager Tang: "Dong Weng once told me that no matter how old a young man is, he will still be somewhat vain and show off. This is inevitable, especially if he likes to be with women.
Color, showing off in front of relatives and friends.
If that Fang Yingwu really comes in a while, you and I will give him enough face, let him gain a lot of face in front of the villagers, and the friendship will come naturally. After that, if I talk to him in secret again, I should be as good as Dong Weng
As you wish.”
Manager Tang nodded in agreement, and added: "It's not enough for us to have just a few of us, we have to invite some women to accompany us. Young people are rarely able to stay calm in front of beautiful women. Lifting him up in front of women will get twice the result with half the effort."
"
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and the two of them fell silent. The door curtain flickered, and Wang De walked in, and said with a smile: "We have sent people, but you two, please sit down."
But he said that Fang Yingwu was bored in the hotel and was about to go out to find a place to have dinner. As soon as he reached the door, someone pulled his sleeve. Looking back, he saw that it was the servant of the Wang family whom he had met yesterday.
"Ms. Fang! Grandpa Fang! Didn't I report it yesterday? I'm inviting you over tonight at Deyi Building. Why did you miss the appointment? This makes it difficult for me to be a good person!"
Fang Ying said confidently, "I said I knew it, but I didn't agree!"
The servant was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He pulled Fang Yingwu and refused to let go. He begged, "Stop playing this word game with me. If you don't go, the blame will fall on me."
Moreover, my master said that if Mr. Fang doesn’t go, he will ask the eldest lady to come out and invite him again. Can Mr. Fang bear the heart to let a delicate little lady like the eldest daughter go out at night?"
When did Wang De learn this trick? Fang Yingwu curled his lips and just left. The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. He patted the Wang family servant and said, "Let go and lead the way!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels.
