Chapter 168: Disaster
Cui Keyin said angrily: "Don't talk about the eldest uncle like this." ”
Zhou Heng smiled: "Okay, don't say it." "Take out the tea set and boil the water to make tea.
Xinglin Hutong is not far from the Jin Wangfu, which is enough to boil water and make a few cups of tea.
Cui Keyin waited for a while, but didn't wait for Zhou Heng to continue, and couldn't help urging: "Why don't you say it?" ”
"Didn't you tell me?" Zhou Heng said as if aggrieved, and took a big pillow for Cui Keyin to lean on: "I've been talking to my aunt for a long time, are you tired?" Take a break. ”
Cui Keyin took the big welcome pillow, put it on his back, and said, "Don't interrupt, what did the eldest uncle say to you?" ”
Zhou Heng hoisted Cui Keyin's appetite, where would he rest like this? Naturally, it is necessary to make requests. Cui Keyin refused at first, but Zhou Heng refused to let go, so he had to beat him twice and reluctantly agreed. Zhou Heng was overjoyed, his eyes were glazed with laughter, and he said: "The eldest uncle wants the emperor to correct the folds himself, not to fake Wang Zhe's hand." ”
Is this the right to divide Wang Zhe? Cui Keyin was taken aback and said, "How did the eldest uncle say this?" This is what Guo Shouning means, right? What did he want by pushing his uncle out? ”
Wang Zhe did not have Ma Liang in front of him, and before that, Li Xiuxiu took the lead and took the queen mother. Although the Queen Mother ignored the political affairs of the previous dynasty, her words were extremely effective in front of Emperor Zhi'an. In this way, no one can control him.
Zhou Heng sighed: "Who said it wasn't? No matter how confidential I am when I convey it, I am afraid that sooner or later it will reach Wang Zhe's ears. ”
"Then you still say he's old and spicy? This is a curse. Cui Keyin said, asking the coachman to turn around. Back to Xinglin Hutong.
Zhou Heng hurriedly stopped and said, "The eldest uncle will not be so straightforward, and when I convey it to the imperial brother, I will also be tactful." ”
What's the difference? Cui Keyin was angry and said: "I heard that Wang Zhe is powerful, and all officials who go to Beijing for business need to go to his mansion to pay bribes; Officials who go out of Beijing on business and return to Beijing on business also need to send him 'local products', but is it true? With such power, how can you provoke him? ”
She's a calm person. There will be no head-on confrontation with people. This pushed Cui Zhenyi to the opposite side of Wang Zhe. Cui's family is in danger, why isn't she worried?
Zhou Heng sighed: "Since Ma Liang lost power, Wang Zhe is indeed lawless. Officials entering and leaving Beijing do need to come to give gifts, but this is the gift. Regardless of the high and the lowly. Just send it to you. ”
For example, you go to a poor county to run an errand. I really didn't have oil and water, and there were always local souvenirs, right? There is no souvenir that can be used, even a bundle of greens. Anyway, I have to go to his place to worship the pier and say "so-and-so is here".
Cui Keyin said: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, not to mention that it is all his minions, and there are many who have thrown themselves under him. No matter how confidential things are, there will always be a day when they are revealed. When the time comes, Wang Zhe will retaliate, how is it good? ”
Emperor An is confused, but he can't tell the truth of the matter, who is loyal and who is traitorous. Not all of the scholars are noble people, and many despicable people turn to Wang Zhe in order to seek advancement.
Seeing that she was really anxious, Zhou Heng couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Don't worry, there is always a solution to things." ”
Cui Keyin scolded Guo Shouning: "As the head of the cabinet, I didn't dare to stand up, but hid behind people." ”
Guo Shouning is sleek and is known as the "Prime Minister of Dough". When Ma Liang was there, in order to avoid Wang Zhe's edge, Wang Zhe bought officials and sold them, and all the official positions promised were assigned to Cui Zhenyi for arrangement. Now that Wang Zhe is covering the sky with one hand, he doesn't dare to speak out easily.
It is not easy to mix in the position of the prime minister and the first assistant of the cabinet, how can he easily let go and be demoted from Beijing?
Zhou Heng comforted Cui Keyin a few words and said, "I will try my best to maneuver." ”
He doubted that the civil officials let Cui Zhenyi get the conditions, would it be because of himself, the prince's nephew? It is expected that Emperor An will be soft-hearted, and he will not look at his face and push Cui Zhenyi out, which can not only give Emperor An a wake-up call, but also ensure that Cui Zhenyi is okay.
Maybe Cui Zhenyi wanted to die with loyalty, right? I didn't want to take advantage of myself.
Cui Keyin's chest rose and fell with anger, but now, it can't be changed. I don't know if they discussed, when Cui Zhenyi came out, there was no Wang Zhe in it, but I was afraid that Wang Zhe had already gotten the news at this time.
"I don't think the emperor will agree." Cui Keyin said.
Emperor An is romantic by nature, likes flowers and birds to paint, does not like to work cases, and is very tired of political affairs, so he pushed it to Wang Zhe. The power was delivered to his hands, and Wang Zhe couldn't ask for it. Wang Zhe is just a talented person, his ability is really limited, where can he have any good ideas in political affairs. For the recitals submitted by the ministers, if they do not participate in him and harm his interests, they will be approved with the word "quasi"; those who harm his interests will be opposed to the end; Those who participate in him must die.
Now, Cui Zhenyi has come forward to ask him to return to Emperor Zhi'an, how can he be willing?
These two people, one is willing to fight, the other is suffering, and the civil officials fight again, what can they do? It will only be sacrificed in vain.
Zhou Heng was silent, letting the tea in the small tandoor gurgle non-stop, and he didn't start making tea. When he returned to the Jin Palace, he summoned his staff to Biyunju to discuss matters.
Cui Keyin sat under the candle, thinking about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a way to protect Cui Zhenyi.
At the second watch, Zhou Heng came back, and when he saw her sitting in a daze, and he didn't know the book in his hand, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and said: "The safety of the eldest uncle is on me, you don't have to worry so much." ”
"Really?" Cui Keyin slowly turned her head and said in disbelief.
Zhou Heng hugged her into his arms and said, "I am your husband, you can't trust others, and you can't trust me, right?" ”
Cui Keyin estimated that he had a good plan, and he didn't ask, hugged his waist back, and said, "Are you hungry?" Do you want them to make some supper? ”
Zhou Hengshi was not hungry, but he didn't find something to do for her, for fear that she would be cranky and more worried, so he said, "Okay." Tell them to prepare water, and I will bathe first. ”
I don't want to soak in the bath. Cui Keyin ordered to go down, and after a while, hot water came.
Zhou Heng insisted that she wait for her to change her clothes, and led her to mess around, but she didn't allow it, pushed him into the bathroom, and ran out by herself.
After such a fuss, the boulder that Cui Keyin pressed in his heart decreased slightly. After Zhou Heng took a good bath, he came out with a change of homely clothes, and the supper was also served.
After the two of them used it, Cui Keyin said that she wanted to hold a flower viewing party in the house.
Zhou Heng said: "The plum blossom opening in the snow is the most beautiful. Recently, the weather has been fine, and if you want to enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow, you are afraid that you will have to wait for more than ten days. If you want to enjoy the plum blossoms at this time, you have to enjoy them in the sun. ”
The implication is that it is inevitably not beautiful.
Cui Keyin was surprised: "Does the prince know how to watch the sky?" ”
Zhou Heng said lightly: "A little bit of understanding." ”
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Cui Keyin couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, and said, "How old are you, you will do this." ”
Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said that when you look at the heavens, you have to ask about your age?" Can't I bring it out of the womb? ”
Cui Keyin was amused by him and said, "Who are you fooling?" ”
Her smile is like a spring flower blooming, and it is even more colorful. (To be continued......)
