Six hundred and seventieth chapters endure humiliation
It is true that as Fang Yingwu guessed, although Zhou Shou is a country boy, he is not without any brains. In other words, this Marquis is far from being smarter than Fang Yingwu himself or Liu Mianhua, but at least he is still slightly above the average.
.
Maybe the Lord Zhou wanted to change his style of play - he would get tired of eating, drinking and having fun all the time. Maybe the Lord Zhou was making early plans for the future - who knows how long the Queen Mother, who is nearly sixty years old, can live? In short, Zhou
The Marquis wants to take advantage of the current chaos in the court to gain some political capital.
It happened that there was an intermediary who connected Lord Zhou with the great scholar Liu Jue, and then Lord Zhou got "ideas" from Liu Jue, so he started to act with confidence.
As long as the fight between the two bachelors surnamed Liu is settled, it will be regarded as setting up one's own banner in the world, no, in the temple, and at the same time forming a relationship with Liu Jue, which will be of great use in the future.
It's a pity that ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. The "powerful spirit" exerted by Lord Zhou is completely useless, and the pressure he creates is completely ignored, and he feels a deep sense of frustration. He can even
I felt the inner contempt and alienation of the scholarly elite in front of the humble class like them.
The arrogant Marquis suddenly became angry and couldn't help but slap the table and shouted: "You scholars, do you really think that I am a vegetarian?"
You are so impatient and still want to play politics? Fang Yingwu sarcastically said in his heart, but did not say anything. At this time, Lao Taishan was on top, so there was no need for him to step forward.
Liu Ji lowered his head to drink tea at this time, and then slowly put down the tea cup, "I once reported to the cabinet that the family members of the Junhou Mansion occupied more than 3,000 acres of private land in Hejian Mansion. Is this happening?"
Fang Yingwu, who had already stepped back to do soy sauce, was dumbfounded. At this time, he could only say "admiration" in his heart. This dark material seemed to come at random. But it was definitely prepared in advance. It is said that one minute on stage and ten years of work off stage.
Whether you have the ability or not is secondary, the key is whether you have this awareness. If it were Fang Yingwu himself, although he felt weird before coming, he never thought about collecting dark materials about Qingyun Marquis in advance.
What a great birthday invitation. It’s someone who is suspected of being on the same side. Who would be so full that he could temporarily collect black materials for later use? This shows Liu Mianhua’s meticulous and thoughtful style of doing things.
However, Zhou Shou did not take this charge seriously and snorted coldly: "It's a joke, so what? Could this be enough to impeach me?"
Liu Ji added: "The Marquis allowed his family members to do evil and occupy a lot of people's land, but you are a relative of the emperor. The government can't do anything for you for a while. But you go to occupy the land of the emperor's village..."
Occupying people's land and occupying Huangzhuang's land are not the same thing. Zhou Shou quickly interrupted Liu Mianhua and yelled: "How can this happen? Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Ge!"
Liu Mianmian smiled and asked lightly: "Is it possible that the Marquis wants to defend himself and confront him?" Zhou Shou's expression changed again and again, and he rudely threw away the two men and walked away.
The hosts had all left, and there was no reason for the guests to stay long. Fang Yingwu and Liu Mianhua left the flower hall and went to the front courtyard. There were still people coming and going in the Marquis's residence, and it was bustling, but it had nothing to do with them anymore.
On the corridor, Fang Yingwu asked: "Is it true that Marquis Qingyun has invaded the Huangzhuang's property?" Liu Mianmian replied with a hint of truth: "It's unreasonable."
Fang Ying shed two drops of cold sweat. It was clear that even if there was no case, the tone of the case would be created. However, it is understandable that when dealing with such unreasonable and arrogant relatives, you cannot use the rules of civil servants. You must have a dark heart.
OK.
University Scholar Liu felt this and said: "I am in trouble right now and have no intention of dealing with him. So I just said it to my face to scare him, otherwise I won't expose him."
Fang Yingwu asked again: "Think about it like Lao Taishan, what is the intention of Marquis Qingyun? Why did he suddenly jump out and reveal such a trick?"
Liu Mianhua smiled disdainfully, "I just came up with the idea of three cunning rabbits, trying to take advantage of both sides..."
It turns out that the reason why Lord Zhou took action to help Liu Jue tide over the difficulties instead of helping Liu Mianhua, who was supposed to be on the same side, was because of his "mature" considerations.
If the current prince is not deposed, then the Zhou family will naturally be safe. The Queen Mother Zhou's kindness in raising and protecting the prince is enough to ensure the future prosperity of the Zhou family. As long as the Zhou family does not rebel, nothing will happen.
But if the prince is deposed (it seems very likely at present), then the Zhou family will have a question mark in the future. It will be fine when the queen mother is here, but if the queen mother is gone, they will be in trouble.
Therefore, Lord Zhou couldn't help but have the idea of a cunning rabbit in three holes, and thought it would be better to spread the risk. Helping Liu Jue this time can be regarded as forming another line.
In addition, speaking of the cabinet, Wan An is the best friend of Concubine Wan Gui in the palace, and Concubine Wan Gui has a deep hatred with the Queen Mother Zhou, so it is absolutely impossible for Lord Zhou to show favor to Wan, the first assistant; and Liu Mianhua, the second assistant, is already tied to the prince.
Now, Lord Zhou no longer needs to befriend Liu Cifu.
Therefore, if Lord Zhou wants to spread the risk, his only option is to befriend the third scholar Liu Jue. It is estimated that Liu Jue is not opposed to Lord Zhou's approach, and it is reasonable for both parties to hit it off if they have their own needs.
Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, he can sort out the cause and effect. Fang Yingwu praised him repeatedly, seemingly sincerely: "Old Taishan's eyes are like a torch, he is really wise! Let's say goodbye today..."
"Don't put a high hat on me, I don't believe you can't think of this." Liu Mianhua didn't accept Fang Yingwu's flattery at all, and said to the point: "Are you deliberately changing the subject? Let's talk about Mrs. Sun first.
Just something.”
Fang Yingwu looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's hard to describe this in a word!"
"I'm too lazy to listen to these romantic stories of yours. I just want to ask, do you have anything to do with Mrs. Sun, the boss of Dongchang? I heard that Mrs. Sun is deeply trusted by the factory's father, eunuch Wang." Liu Mianhua asked curiously.
Regarding this question, Fang Yingwu didn't know how to answer. In the end, he could only nodded with a grimace, "Eunuch Wang snatched it from me when he was in Yulin."
Liu Mianhua said thoughtfully: "The powerful eunuchs enjoy almost more things than ordinary people. For example, they have to build a large house in the capital, and they also have to have beautiful wives and concubines to show off, and there are all kinds of ways to do it.
Looking for his son.
Although Mrs. Sun has no status with Eunuch Wang, her status should be similar to that of a concubine. Eunuch Wang actually tolerates Mrs. Sun having an affair with you..."
Speaking of this, Liu Mianhua suddenly looked at Fang Yingwu with a very strange look and stared at Fang Yingwu silently. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but become nervous. Could it be that Lao Taishan had guessed something?
Liu Mianhua stared at it for a long time, until Fang Yingwu's scalp became numb, and then he said: "Eunuch Wang has something to ask for from you? Does he... want to borrow seed from you to have a son through Mrs. Sun? That's why he spared no effort.
help you?"
Fang Yingwu was stunned and deeply admired Lao Taishan's imagination. But after thinking about it, Fang Yingwu found that he could only nod his head with tears in his eyes.
Liu Mianhua patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder and sighed: "It's no use for us to endure humiliation and bear the burden... I strongly disagree with your approach, but I also understand." (To be continued)
