From the beginning, Fang Yingwu never took Lord Zhou seriously. He was just a wealthy relative who relied on good luck. He might be arrogant, but in fact he had no political weight. Even in terms of IQ, he was adequate.
Crush the opponent.
Don't you even look at what time it is now? This marquis invited his father-in-law and his son-in-law to come over. He opened his mouth to mediate the cabinet war, and when he opened his mouth again, he asked for women. He was simply a short-sighted fool.
However, the current Yingwu has to admit that although Lord Zhou is not very wise, he is still a little clever. For example, Zhou Shou seized the current opportunity of being neither good nor bad, and took advantage of the two people's psychology of not wanting to grudge against the Queen Mother Zhou.
It's a little trick to force the two of them to retreat;
Another example is to invite oneself and Liu Mianmian to come together and beat gongs and drums in front of each other. It is also a little trick. If you think about it, you will know that if the son-in-law fights for another woman in front of Lao Taishan, the consequences will be
...
The Buddha also has fire, and I am afraid that no father-in-law can tolerate it. Even if he can tolerate it in his heart, he will definitely pretend that he can't tolerate it on face. If one person is not good, it will easily plant the fruit of distrust between the father-in-law and the son-in-law.
Fang Yingwu secretly glanced at Lao Taishan, and felt that Lao Taishan's face was a little dark. This was the special field created by Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou for himself, so that he could not fully exert himself in the field. The better he performed, the more he was attacked by Liu Mianhua afterwards.
The rebound will be greater.
But if this little trick could stump Fang Yingwu, then Fang Yingwu would have been kicked back to his hometown to "farm, study and inherit the family" long ago, let alone become a rising star in the temple.
Fang Yingwu coughed and said sternly to the horrified Marquis Qingyun: "When I was in Yulin Border Town, I was helped by Mrs. Sun. She saved my life twice. I should be grateful for the kindness of a spring."
Repay each other, not to mention the kindness of saving lives?
Therefore, I must not sit idly by and watch her sink. I would like to advise you, you are also a person of high status. Since Mrs. Sun has no intention, you should not force others to make things difficult for you."
Zhou Shou was not used to Fang Yingwu's quick change of style, and couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself, I am talking about emotional issues with you, but you are talking about morality with me? Why don't you follow me?
To sink, to obey me is to make things difficult for others. What is the truth?
In fact, most of Fang Yingwu's words were meant for Liu Mianhua, in order to give Liu Mianhua a step down. Although it was absolutely impossible for Liu Mianhua to fall out with him at this time, Liu Mianhua also needed a step up as his father-in-law.
, a statement that can explain the past. Even if it is in a deceptive form.
After dealing with the possible internal strife, Fang Yingwu refocused his energy on Zhou Shou, "I also want to ask you, what happened today, every word and deed, was Liu Jue teaching you?"
Without waiting for Zhou Shou's answer, Fang Yingwu quickly sighed and said, "I didn't expect that with my noble status as a monarch, I would actually be used as a puppet for Liu Jue. I am really embarrassed to stand up for Liu Jue here meticulously!"
Although Zhou Shou was a nepotistic nouveau riche that the scholar-bureaucrats looked down on, a common characteristic of nouveau riche was sensitivity. Their self-esteem was slightly greater than that of ordinary people. When Fang Yingwu suddenly laughed at himself, he couldn't help but refuted it: "That's nonsense.
Yu! How could my majestic Marquis Qingyun be a puppet for Liu Jue!"
Fang Yingwu pretended to be surprised: "If it wasn't the case, then why did the Lord want to make peace with the dying Liu Jue? And why did he take up Mrs. Sun's idea after listening to Liu Jue's instigation? The dignified Marquis Qingyun condescended to do this, which is pitiable. sigh!"
Liu Mianmian heard it. Fang Yingwu deliberately left a thorn in Zhou Shou's heart. When Zhou Shou sees Liu Jue again in the future, he will definitely feel unnatural. If it is more serious, there may be conflicts.
However, Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain his reasoning clearly. Fang Yingwu just said a few words and made strong arguments, so his momentum was reduced.
But Qingyunhou, who was confused by what Fang Yingwu said, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the key point. Why are he talking so much here? There is no need at all. The strength is always on his side. Who will follow the general trend? Can it be stopped?
Zhou Shou then laughed: "Fang Yingwu, no matter how many words you say, do you dare to answer me directly? After going around and around, are you still afraid that my Zhou family will fall out with you? After all, you still need the support of the Zhou family, no matter how much you go around. No amount of circles can change this!"
Fang Yingwu responded domineeringly, "You are wrong. You must not reverse the order. Now it is not we who need your support, but you who need our support!"
Zhou Shou seemed to have caught Fang Yingwu's loophole and laughed wildly: "Everyone can talk big words, but can you stand it? Do you think our Zhou family can't do without you to help the prince?"
No matter who the crown prince is, the Zhou family will still be relatives. No matter who ascends the throne in the future, my sister will still be the empress dowager, and I, the Zhou family, will still be the uncle of the country. What do I need your support for?"
Fang Yingwu immediately retorted while the iron was hot: "Even if I don't keep the East Palace, the worst I can do is resign and go back to my hometown. For the sake of morality in my heart, what does a mere official position mean? Why do you need the support of your Zhou family? Do you think everyone in the world wants it?" It's a big mistake to flatter the Zhou family!"
Fang Yingwu deliberately displayed the attitude of being a bachelor. To put it bluntly, he meant being strong without desires, so that he could show disdain for the Zhou family.
Zhou Shou's heart was about to explode at this time. It was obviously not because he was excited, but because he was angry. If he hadn't experienced it in person, he would never have known that Fang Yingwu's sharp words were so powerful.
In the end, Lord Zhou had nothing to say and had to give an ultimatum: "Fang Yingwu! Let me ask again, is this your reply?"
Fang Yingwu still refused to give in and replied: "If you think so, then that's fine."
Zhou Shou immediately turned to Liu Mianhua and asked sternly: "Mr. Liu Ge! Your good son-in-law is like this, so what is your reply?"
Liu Mianhua suddenly woke up from his drowsiness and laughed at himself: "As I get older, I get sleepy easily." Then he added: "I think that if you enjoy your wealth and honor, you will not have to worry about the disputes between the courtiers."
Liu Mianhua's implication was that you, the Marquis, should just be an idle relative and don't interfere indiscriminately. Fang Yingwu nodded approvingly to Lao Taishan, and at this moment he was not looking forward or backward.
Qingyun Hou looked at the pair of son-in-laws in front of him in astonishment, and kept saying "Crazy, crazy, crazy" in his heart. He had never expected to be rejected before. Do these two people really dare to take the risk of offending the Zhou family?
I thought that with the right time, right place and right people, I could defeat the two people in front of me and get what I wanted. Who knew that things turned out to be the opposite, from the process to the results, it was completely different from what I imagined, and I didn’t know where the problem lay!
Aren't politicians like this supposed to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages? Why dare to reject him? Zhou Shou suddenly realized how different he was from politicians.
This Marquis, who has always only been interested in eating, drinking and having fun, bullying men and dominating women, wanted to take this opportunity to get involved in the field of power and expand political space. Unexpectedly, he was immediately hit in the head. (To be continued)
