Chapter 796 [The leader of Donglin, the inner pillar of the complex] one
Originally a good banquet, it almost broke up because of Li Fangyi's words. Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun originally wanted to continue the banquet, but they asked Mu Linfeng to beg for mercy and ask Mu Linfeng to be lenient to Chen Zilong, but the words left their lips.
Nothing was said.
Li Fangyi's decision to go to Japan shocked Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun the most. Of course, they didn't like going to Japan. Mu Linfeng saw their faces and guessed what the two women were thinking, and then stood up and said to Li Fangyi: "In that case
, I think Miss Li and Miss Liu don’t need to go to Japan!"
Li Fangyi glanced at Mu Linfeng after hearing this. She naturally knew what Mu Linfeng was thinking. Then she turned to look at Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi, and then said: "This Meixiang Building is actually just your property, the prince.
If you want them to go, they have to go. If you don't let them go, who would dare to let them go?"
Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi both looked at Mu Linfeng after hearing this. Their fate depended entirely on Mu Linfeng's words. Naturally, they were a little worried. Mu Linfeng saw this and pretended to ponder for a while before laughing.
Said: "Of course Miss Li and Miss Liu don't have to go to that wild and unexplored land!"
Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi both sighed secretly, stood up immediately, and saluted and thanked Mu Linfeng at the same time. Seeing this, the other women also wanted to plead with Mu Linfeng. Seeing this, Mu Linfeng quickly waved his hand and said, "Now that the matter has come to this point,
I might as well tell you that things like brothels can only be found in Japan, and the Central Plains will be completely eradicated from pornography. Just now Fangyi also said that it is up to you to go or not, but if you stay in the Central Plains, you will have to be good in the future... This point
You don’t need me to make the decision for you, you can make your own decisions..."
After Mu Linfeng said these words, all the women had nothing to say anymore and sat back in their seats with their own thoughts. Mu Linfeng also sat down at this time, and then turned to Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi and said:
"You two girls can actually no longer be brothel girls from now on. Since Fang Yi just said that this Meixiang House is my property, I don't need to wait for someone to redeem you..." At this point
, and felt something was wrong, and immediately added: "I will redeem your lives as the king. In other words, the two girls will be free from now on..."
When Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi heard this, their hearts moved, as if they couldn't believe it, and they quickly stood up to salute Mu Linfeng. Mu Linfeng stretched out his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, quickly picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Here, let me toast you two.
"Consider it as congratulations to the two girls for regaining their freedom!" He said and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi also picked up their wine glasses. After taking a few sips, they saw Mu Linfeng stand up and cupped his hands and said, "Let's stop here tonight. I have other important matters, so I won't bother you anymore!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi immediately stood up, firstly to see off Mu Linfeng, and secondly to see if they could find an opportunity to talk to Mu Linfeng about Chen Zilong, but Mu Linfeng reached out to stop them.
Li Fangyi slowly stood up and escorted Mu Linfeng out of Meixiang Building. When they arrived at the door, Mu Linfeng whispered to Li Fangyi: "You must have something to say to me. In that case, just walk with me."
!" He said, holding Li Fangyi's hand and walking on the street.
After walking for a long time without Li Fangyi saying a word, Mu Linfeng stopped and turned to look at Li Fangyi, wondering: "Fangyi is going to Japan, doesn't she have anything to say to me?
"
Li Fangyi shook her head at this time. She did have a lot to say to Mu Linfeng, but she didn't know how to say it for a moment. Li Fangyi was actually not the kind of person who said sad farewell words with sweat on her face when saying goodbye, but
At this moment, she seemed to feel that she really couldn't let go of Mu Linfeng...
Li Fangyi turned around and looked at Mu Linfeng for a long time before hugging Mu Linfeng and burying her head in Mu Linfeng's arms. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she shed tears and wiped them away. Then she raised her head to face each other.
Mu Linfeng said: "After I go to Japan, you must take care of yourself, sir!" After saying that, he looked at me affectionately, then turned and left.
Mu Linfeng originally wanted to hold Li Fangyi, but he stretched out his hand but did not take a step forward. The hand hanging in the air slowly lowered it. This time Mu Linfeng was not sad or disappointed. For a woman like Li Fangyi, he could
She said that she fully understood that this kind of sad parting scene was not suitable for her, nor for herself. I could only say a blessing in my heart and say goodbye to Japan.
As for Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi, although Mu Linfeng was anxious to take them in, Mu Linfeng also knew that these two women were different from other women. There were still two men separated between him and them, and between these two men
Before the matter is resolved, Mu Linfeng has not decided how to start, so he can only welcome them to be free first. If these two women always let go of Buhou Fangyu and Chen Zilong in their hearts, then Mu Linfeng has nothing to do. After all, they have to deal with emotional matters.
, Mu Linfeng never liked forcing things.
Just when Mu Linfeng was about to return to the palace, a man suddenly walked up to Mu Linfeng, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, my young master has invited your Majesty to go to Wanfu Tower for a chat!"
Mu Linfeng looked at this man. He was an ordinary middle-aged man with a plain appearance, and asked casually: "Who is your master?"
The man immediately said: "The young master's surname is Zhang, and his given name is Cai!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to signal Mu Linfeng to go to Wanfu Tower.
Mu Linfeng was really shocked when he heard this. Zhang Cai had not seen him for a long time, but this time he came to Nanjing to see him. Could it be that there was something important? Could it be because of Chen Zilong's affairs? How were Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi tonight?
The second time he spoke, he deliberately refused, but if Zhang Cai spoke, what would he do? After all, most of the talents he currently uses are from Fushe...
Mu Linfeng followed the man to the private room of Wanfu Building and saw an old man sitting in it. When he saw Mu Linfeng, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The name Zhang Cai pays homage to the prince Qiantai!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Linfeng immediately stepped forward to support Zhang Cai and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is too polite. If he knew that Mr. Zhang was in Nanjing, Linfeng would have paid a visit first!"
Zhang Cai smiled slightly, then signaled the servants beside him to step back, then took Mu Linfeng's hand, sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is becoming more and more powerful now!"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said: "Sir, sir, he is getting more energetic..."
After the two of them had been chatting for a long time, Zhang Cai said to Mu Linfeng: "I heard that Zilong has been jailed for dereliction of duty?"
Mu Linfeng secretly thought, finally entering the topic, and nodded quickly: "Yes, if Mr. Zhang wants to intercede on his behalf, Linfeng will naturally have to betray Mr. face!"
Zhang Cai waved his hand and shook his head and said: "No, no, not only am I not begging for Zilong, but on the contrary, I hope that the prince will punish Chen Zilong again!"
Mu Linfeng's heart shuddered when he heard this. This Chen Zilong is a man who has returned to society. Not only did Zhang Cai not protect him, but he also added insult to injury? Is it Chen Zilong's fault? He quickly wondered: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this? Linfeng is stupid!
"
Zhang Cai smiled slightly at this time, stood up, walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, let out a long sigh, then turned to look at Mu Linfeng, and said: "My lord, do you know that among the officials you abolished during the New Year period,
How many people are from the Donglin Party?"
Mu Linfeng heard the words and murmured: "Donglin Party?" He felt very familiar in his heart, but couldn't remember it for a moment. Although he had some understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, it was only superficial. After all, he was not a historian.
He then shook his head and said, "Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!"
Zhang Cai sat back in front of Mu Linfeng at this time, looked at Mu Linfeng squarely, and said: "Ten of them are from the Donglin Party, and even among the four absconding corrupt officials who were beheaded by the prince on New Year's Day, one of them was named
Qian Weida is the nephew of Qian Qianyi, the spiritual leader of the Donglin Party!"
Although Mu Linfeng has not yet figured out what the Donglin Party is, he thinks that it is also a party in the imperial court. Seeing that Zhang Cai came to him specifically for this matter, he thinks that the power of the Donglin Party is not small, but it is strange that this has nothing to do with it.
What does Chen Zilong have to do with it? Is Chen Zilong an undercover agent from the Donglin Party who was sent to Fushe?
Seeing the surprise on Mu Linfeng's face, Zhang Cai couldn't help but shook his head, and then said: "The prince may not know this Qian Qianyi, but he is an indispensable figure in the Donglin Party. Although he is idle at home now, he is still involved in all matters related to the court.
, he doesn’t know everything, he knows everything like the back of his hand!”
Mu Linfeng had vaguely heard the key to this. In other words, in today's court, the Donglin Party is one faction, the Qingliu people who have no party or faction are another, and the Fushe who has been promoted by Mu Linfeng recently is another faction.
It seems that there is a conflict between Fushe and the Donglin Party...
But Zhang Cai's words couldn't help but attract Mu Linfeng's attention. A retired insider who was already idle at home could actually know everything about the affairs in the court. After all, this was a potential threat that must be guarded against. But from what Zhang Cai said
Does coming out also mean that Zhang Cai wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Qian Qianyi? But what does this have to do with Chen Zilong?
Mu Linfeng turned to look at Zhang Cai at this time. Subconsciously, he vaguely felt that the party battles that had occurred in the past dynasties were about to be staged again under his jurisdiction?
