Any rhetoric that confuses people's minds has a certain inherent progressive logic.
The first key point of Professor Lin's long speech tonight is that Wang Xijue's appointment to the cabinet was indeed recommended by the trio of Li Zhi, Yang Keli, and Jiang Dongzhi. Wang Xijue was also Li Zhi's teacher.
The Three People's Party is extremely anti-Zhang Juzheng, and even the current Prime Minister Shen Shixing is regarded by the Three People's Party as a remnant of Zhang Juzheng and has been attacking him.
The Three People's Party recommended teacher Wang Xijue to join the cabinet, and their original intention was indeed to use Wang Xijue to squeeze Shen Shixing.
And Wang Xijue did not refuse the opportunity to join the cabinet, and went to the capital to take up the post without avoiding suspicion.
The above are all real materials, but how to read and understand it all depends on each person's free experience.
The second important point Professor Lin said is that the forces in the literary and art circles with Wang Shizhen as the core currently do not have much enthusiasm for the Shen family, and they do not take the younger son of the family, Mr. Shen, too seriously.
But this can be explained as the natural alienation of the "old aristocrats" from the "new rich", or the habitual pretense of the "old aristocrats".
But combined with the first point, it can also be interpreted as Wang Xijue's close friend Wang Shizhen deliberately ostracized the Second Young Master Shen because of political issues.
Logically, it can be completely justified. As long as it can arouse human suspicion, it will be successful.
However, Second Young Master Shen Yong and Jiashen have already regretted their blunder!
Just now, the atmosphere was just right, so I blurted out the words in a contagious manner.
It would be too hasty to start cooperation immediately.
Even if the conspiracy you Lin Tailai said is true, even if your guesses Lin Tailai are very reasonable!
But since he has appointed a prime minister, can’t he deal with it on his own? Can’t he find allies?
Even if you want to fight back, you don’t have to be tied up with you low-level “righteous men” and hang out together!
If he is still asked to take the initiative to cooperate with you, Second Young Master Shen, where should he put his face?
So Shen Yongjia immediately picked up the air again and said to Lin Tai:
"I have thought about it carefully and found that although what you said makes some sense, it is still mostly speculation and lacks circumstantial evidence and solid evidence.
Therefore, please step back and let me think twice before proceeding!"
Lin Tailai quickly replied: "Maybe some of the inside information is just speculation, but the sincerity of my fellow villagers towards Prime Minister Shen cannot be more true!"
Shen Yongjia said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
Lin Tailai went on to say: "I am trying my best to support Prime Minister Shen, not for fame or fortune, but for the sake of my fellow countrymen. I just ask Mr. Shen not to look down on me and my humble power!"
Shen Yongjia, who was in his early twenties, was still too young and continued to talk perfunctorily:
"Okay, okay! I accepted it on behalf of my father. Thank you very much to my neighbors for their love!"
Second Young Master Shen thought that as a noble young master, he would be pestered for a while by his "countrymen" who wanted to curry favor with him.
Suddenly, I saw Professor Lin turning around and leaving quickly, and then I saw Professor Lin greeting the crowd:
"It's done! It's done! The club will have dinner tonight! It will be held at Zhenze Restaurant in Xizhong City, Changmenli. Let's celebrate together!"
In just a few blinks of an eye, the crowd in front of the Shen Mansion disappeared with cheers and cheers.
The imposing banners and bright and brilliant torches also disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the quiet door, Mr. Shen suddenly felt a little lonely.
Maybe we should give these "righteous men" more opportunities to curry favor with us?
These people left just as they said they would. If they were really sincere, shouldn't they make three requests and three concessions?
At this moment, there were only a lot of passers-by watching the fun, pointing and talking not far away.
After all, Lin Tailai's team shouted slogans loudly along the way, and there were really many people following them to watch the fun.
The Second Young Master Shen returned to his mansion and discussed the matter with Ma Guanzhuang of Shen Family Yizhuang.
Then they discussed: “I really don’t know what they are here for, is it just to shout a few slogans?
If you really want to serve my Shen family, you won’t ask me what to do and just leave.”
Ma Guanzhuang has more experience than Second Young Master Shen, and after hearing this, he roughly understood what was going on.
Does Cao Cao still need to consult with Emperor Xian of Han to act? He only needs to borrow a name!
But he couldn't tell Prince Shen directly that you were regarded as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty! That would be too low of emotional intelligence.
After thinking about it, Ma Guanzhuang hinted: "According to my observation, Lin Tailai's name is Jinbu, which is actually Mengde!"
Second Young Master Shen frowned and said, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't think of it at the moment."
The next day, the first person to be alarmed by last night's news was Magistrate Feng of Wuxian County Government Office.
Early in the morning, he was woken up by his staff.
The master did not care whether the proprietor had slept well or not, and reported directly:
"I just heard an emergency. It seems that Lin Tailai has something to do with the Shen family. Yesterday, he helped Shen's Yizhuang fight!
Moreover, many people witnessed last night that Lin Tailai and Shen Yongjia had a very close conversation at the gate of Shen Mansion."
When Feng Zhixian heard this, his whole heart went numb, and he subconsciously shouted: "Wang Shizhen is harming me!"
He started to punish Lin Tailai in order to gain the opportunity to contact Wang Xijue.
But it would be even more uneconomical to provoke Shen Shixing, the chief assistant, for Wang Xijue!
The master dutifully continued to report: "There are also rumors in the market that Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing are fighting for power, and Wang Shizhen came to Suzhou to help out."
Feng Zhixian's eyebrows knitted together. Sure enough, the officialdom was really dangerous!
He was only a seventh-grade magistrate, so why did he get involved in the dispute between the chief minister and another great scholar?
Feng Zhixian decided to go to Gusuyi to seek an explanation from Wang Shizhen.
At this time, in Gusu Station, the old alliance leader Wang, who woke up from a hangover, also listened to the report from his son Wang Shisu.
"So, I am finally the number one hot topic today?" Leader Wang said while suppressing his emotions.
The most hotly discussed topic today is that the old alliance leader went to Suzhou City to hold a conference and it turned out that there was a shocking conspiracy to help a fellow countryman with the same surname and a bachelor fight for power.
Wang Shisu didn't know whether being first was good news or bad news, "Anyway, I finally pushed Lin Tailai to second place."
The second-place topic was that Professor Lin held up a banner that read "Follow justice and combat rebellion, and clarify the literary world" outside the gate of Shen Mansion. The Second Young Master Shen cordially received Professor Lin.
Alliance leader Wang Lao asked: "Didn't you see something?"
Wang Shisu replied sincerely: "This Lin Tailai is quite imaginative. My son, I almost believed the joke he made up."
The old alliance leader Wang was so angry that he slapped the case and said: "Idiot! Didn't you realize that Shen Yongjia might be the mastermind behind the scenes that we have never found?
I was originally doubtful that Lin Tailai should not be so bold as to cause trouble!
Now I understand, it turns out that Shen Yongjia is making trouble secretly, and Lin Tailai is just a figure in front of the stage!
But I was careless and only stared at Lin Tailai and did not notice Shen Yongjia, which resulted in me being slightly passive."
There’s a plot detail below that I’ve been thinking about for a day and can’t figure out. I’ll try my best to fill in the word count tomorrow.
