Chapter 717: Flowers
Ah Lie was stunned, and was speechless for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Indeed, with Qin Su's background as a maiden back then, how could the Xue family stand behind her? Even if she later turned into a princess, the Xue family had always avoided the royal family, and should be even more away from her, how could they bet on her?
This is indeed very unreasonable, and it is also very inconsistent with Xue's consistent behavior.
"Let's put this matter aside for the time being. The inseparable icy voice sounded, like an ice line, disturbing the charm of spring in this courtyard, and also bringing Ah Lie back to his senses.
He looked up at Mo Buli, and after a while, he came to his senses, and said with his hands crossed: "Mr. Gaojian, I am too stubborn." ”
Mo Buli's expression at this moment had become a little more relaxed, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "As a strategist, you have to know why. But I'm not a counselor, I want results. As for the process, it doesn't matter to me. ”
When he said this, he suddenly stretched out an index finger, nodded in the direction of the southeast corner, and said with a smile: "She Qin Liu, by no means a princess, we have ironclad evidence in this matter." As soon as she falls, I say that whoever is behind her is who he is. ”
At this point, he turned his eyes to look at Ah Lie and smiled.
That smile was dazzling and beautiful, like a meteor crossing the sky, so beautiful that people didn't dare to look at it.
With this beautiful smile, Mo Buli whispered: "I heard that at today's flower banquet, Princess Jinling received flowers from the three Langjun. ”
When Ah Lie heard this, a look of surprise instantly appeared between his eyebrows, and he nodded, "Yes, sir." In addition to Xue's two sons, there is another variegated hibiscus, which was given by Huan Zicheng. ”
"Look, isn't that enough?" Mo Buli said with a smile, dusted off his white shirt, and turned to walk into the room.
The candles in the room are faint, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers in the distance, but it is more pleasant than usual. There was a simple brass candlestick on the bookcase by the window, and at this moment, the thin candle in the candlestick was lit, and the faint candle flame was swaying in the night, and the wind of the curtain on the door drove the flame seedlings, and shook endlessly.
Mo Buli lifted his robe and sat down in front of the desk, Ah Lie took a few steps forward, took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to him, and said respectfully: "News from Jiangyang County." ”
Mo Buli took the note and glanced at it twice, the corners of his lips hooked, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes, and he said: "Even Cheng Tingzhen has been given a redundant servant position, and he has also been named a Pavilion Marquis, which is also interesting." ”
Speaking of this, he raised the note and looked at Ah Lie: "Whose idea is this?"
"Jiang Fu shoots. Ah Lie replied, his lowered eyebrows and eyes flat, "Jiang Servant means that if he only promotes a Zuo Sikuang, it will be difficult to convince the public, so he brought Cheng Tingzhen in. Redundant servant shooting is not an important position, a pavilion marquis, and he can't do anything in Dadu. ”
"Whether it can be done or not is not up to him. Mo Buli said coldly, handed the note back to Ah Lie, and asked, "What about Zuo Sikuang?"
"I'm already on my way to Beijing. Ah Lie said, "Cheng and Zuo's second surnames are walking together, and they also brought several Langjun and girls of the Qin family and the masters of the Qin clan. It is said that the Xue family also specially sent people to escort them along the way, on the grounds that they were afraid that the remnants of the Han'an Township Marquis would not be purified and retaliate and kill. ”
Mo Buli laughed "hehe". The laughter sounded in the dim light, and there was an indescribable weirdness.
"Is Xue's move to support Cheng Tingzhen, or is it to show favor to Princess Jinling?" he asked with a smile.
Ah Lie didn't speak, only bowed.
Mo Buli didn't really need his answer, and after saying that, he fixed his eyes on the candlestick, looking at the faint candle flame.
After a long time, his cold voice sounded, and he asked, "Lu Shicheng's matter, has it been decided?"
"Yes, sir. "This is no longer the case. Before Lu Shicheng's transfer to Beijing, he was never able to advance. The people we installed in the ministry reported twice, but they were all called back as they were. Later, Lu Shicheng's eldest brother Lu Shilun went to the ministry in person, saying that 'if you are suspicious, you should avoid relatives', and said, 'My brother still needs to be trained, so I asked him to work in Beijing for five years before speaking'. ”
He paused here for a while, and then continued: "Lu Shilun not only said this in the Ministry of Officials, but he also handed His Majesty an excerpt and put forward the saying of 'the big surname is let and the small surname is up', which roughly means: Those who are virtuous and talented, regardless of their background, are only talented. On this fold, Longxin Dayue, Lu Shilun has been to Shoucheng Hall more times recently than before. ”
Mo Buli listened to his words quietly, his expression indistinguishable from joy and anger.
Ah Lie's voice did not stop, and he continued at this time: "With Lu Shilun's excerpt, Lu Shicheng's entry into Beijing is almost in vain, and our people in the Ministry of Officials have nothing to do. In addition, the Holy Lord has recently intended to let the children of the Xiao surname and the Han clan into the court, and now he is convening the Jiang family, the Huan family, the Xue family, and the three princes to discuss this matter. ”
Hearing this, a trace of ridicule crossed Mo Buli's face, and the chill in his eyes instantly flourished, and he said: "What an old slippery Lu Shilun actually commanded my army here." ”
Ah Lie's expression at this time was also extremely solemn, and he said: "The affairs of Cheng Tingzhen and Lu Shicheng are intertwined. First, Lu Shicheng's promotion was postponed by the officials twice, and then there was Lu Shilun's excerpt, and then Jiang Servant promoted Cheng Tingzhen. Cheng is a standard surname, and Jiang Fu's move is very sacred. ”
There was no lack of deep meaning in his words, but Mo Buli was not in a hurry to speak.
He stood up and paced back and forth around the room, his face cold as ice.
After a long while, he stopped, looked back at Ah Lie, and said lightly: "Jiang Servant is taking our chess pieces and going to seek his own future." ”
Judging from Jiang Fu's behavior, Mo Buli's inference is very logical, but Ah Lie doesn't seem to agree with his point of view, and after pondering for a while, he said his opinion: "Sir forgive my sins, I see something slightly different from what Mr. and I see. I always feel that the ingenuity of these things is not so much like Jiang Fengxian can do it, but as if there is an invisible hand that is pushing the whole thing forward. ”
When he said this, he took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said: "I just received the news today, recently, Huan Shilang and the Lu family Zhulangjun are extremely friendly, Lu Shilun loves him very much, and has called him to the study many times to talk, and Huan Shilang is also very kind to Lu Shilun. ”
He paused here when he said this, and continued: "Ten days ago, Huan Shilang had a small banquet with his brother and Lu Zhulangjun, and I don't know what was said at the banquet, Huan Shilang suddenly left the table angrily and went straight to Lu Shilun's study, the two talked for a long time in the room, and Lu Shilun personally sent his nephew out of the study. On the second day, Lu Shilun went on the excerpt. ”
