Chapter 599: Enough is enough
Is this a question of peace of mind or not? Godfather, when have you ever been so vulnerable?
Lu Chan was full of puzzlement, but he didn't dare to ask. On that day, after Chu Kuan left the Qianqing Palace, he instructed him to send someone to add fuel to the fire, and said that the emperor personally approved and moved Jiuzhangtang out of the country. Because the details publicized did not favor Zhang Shou, but he did not deliberately smear them, and even Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye were fair, so he didn't care too much about it for a while.
He only thought that Chu Kuan wanted to follow the emperor's wishes and push Jiuzhangtang out of the Guozijian as soon as possible.
But who knew that just now, Chu Kuan suddenly drove to the outer office of the celebrant and ordered him to remove all the people up and down, and then even the drawers and cabinets were not locked, and the door was completely open! It didn't matter if there were any things like that, thinking that there were still a lot of confidential documents and ledgers in it, and once it was leaked out, it would be a big disaster, and Lu Chan trembled at the moment.
And the reason turned out to be just because Zhu Ying came to the door to provoke!
Although he was not in the mood to drink tea and eat at all, since Chu Kuan was sitting there with the old god on the ground, he had no choice but to sacrifice his life there to accompany the gentleman - although in his opinion, Chu Kuan was not a gentleman. And in his direction, he couldn't even see what the situation of the celebrant and the outer office was, and he didn't know if there were people from other official offices watching the excitement.
He was like sitting on pins and needles, and several times he wanted to get out of his seat, but he was forcibly pressed down by Chu Kuan's eyes. I don't know how long it took, but he finally heard a cautious voice outside: "Old Ancestor, Miss Zhu rushed out angrily, but ......"
Hearing the words in front of him, Lu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard two words, his heart hung up again. Sure enough, the next moment, I only heard the person outside the door whisper: "However, Miss Zhu didn't leave, she just stood at the door." said that there are a lot of confidential things stored in our celebrant and eunuch's foreign office, and there is no one at the moment, so in order to prevent someone from breaking in and doing evil, she ......"
"She's supposed to do a good deed and help us watch the door!"
This time, Lu Chanden secretly complained bitterly. Let's not talk about whether Zhu Ying has seen something that shouldn't be seen, just this act of guarding the door, although outsiders will not take advantage of it, but as long as they are seen, what will they think? He couldn't help but look at Chu Kuan with expectant eyes, but he saw that Chu Kuan was still immovable, although he admired that sitting skill, but it was difficult to understand his anxiety.
After all, he is in charge most of the time, and once Zhu Ying makes trouble, once he loses his sense of mystery and fear in the eyes of others, it will not be so easy for him to do things in the future!
Seeing that Lu Chan was like an ant on a hot pot, Chu Kuan opened his mouth and asked, "Zhu Ying is just a person?" What about her guards? ”
The people outside didn't seem to expect Chu Kuan to ask such a question, as if they had a good memory, and finally replied: "Originally, she brought a few guards, but after she broke in, the other guards were sent away by that Zhu Hong, and Zhu Hong himself followed up with the master of ceremonies and the foreign office. But only Miss Zhu came out at this time, Zhu Hong didn't see it, and the person should still be inside. ”
Lu Chan was even more anxious and sweating profusely. It doesn't matter if Zhu Ying is inside, this eldest lady is notoriously untidy, even if she sees some account books and texts, maybe she doesn't care about it, and if she doesn't take it to heart, it won't be a big deal.
But the problem is that Zhu Hong, the guards who were cultivated by Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao Guogong, and brought out almost as adopted sons, are more shrewd than the other. If these people look at those terrible secrets, and Zhu Jing knows about it and takes it out to threaten him, then he will almost go to Shichahai!
"Zhu Hong didn't come out...... Chu Kuan also seemed to be a little surprised, and it took a while before he smiled dumbly, "I see, Zhu Ying actually has a serious and meticulous time." With Zhu Hong in charge and her guarding outside, even if someone really has any bad intentions against the celebrant and the outer office, it can only be in vain. Okay, don't worry about anxiety, Zhu Ying should go back soon. ”
"Lu Chan, you go and tell the others to be patient and wait for a while, and when Zhu Ying leaves, you can also go back."
For Chu Kuan to be so open-minded, Lu Chan no longer had the strength to complain or be surprised. He could only answer with a bitter face, and then went to the next door and ordered the others. Fortunately, this teahouse at the mouth of Goldfish Hutong was originally one of the strongholds of their ceremonial supervisor and foreign office, and there was no outsider at this time. It's just that this time so many people are nesting here, I'm afraid I will have to give up in the future.
In this capital where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to find a suitable place to operate secretly, but Chu Kuan actually exposed this place so easily! It's not easy for them to hold this century-old store in their hands!
Waited and waited, just when Lu Chan was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the corridor outside, thinking that Chu Kuan's so-called Zhu Ying would go back soon was really a bit wrong, he finally saw someone hurrying into this small teahouse again. When the visitor entered the lobby and looked up to find him, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and when he saw him gesturing impatiently, he hurried up the stairs.
"Miss Zhu is back! It was Mrs. Zhao Guo who came over in person, so although she was reluctant, she was still taken back. ”
Lu Chan simply thought that there was something wrong with his ears. That Mrs. Zhao Guo, who is notoriously difficult to deal with, will come forward to stop Zhu Ying from continuing to make trouble in the foreign office of the celebrant eunuch? Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west? He didn't have time to say anything to the visitor, so he quickly turned around and slammed the curtain into the private seat, and saw that Chu Kuan had already flicked the corner of his clothes Shi Shiran got up, he couldn't help but ask: "How could Mrs. Zhao Guo ......?"
"Probably because the people in Zhao Guogong's mansion feel that it is enough for Zhu Ying to make such a fuss, I have already retreated, and it will be too much to make trouble any longer." Chu Kuan smiled, and then ordered, "You personally go to the Lu Mansion to deliver a post, just talk about the public school, the two concubines and Concubine Jiang in the palace, as well as Princess Yongping, Princess Deyang, and several county lords and sect daughters, are all willing to donate money to support education." ”
Lu Chan was simply stunned. Although Chu Kuan said that he was unwilling to apologize to Zhu Ying, the attitude of retreating is no less than making an apology in person.
As for this so-called donation to education, although it is not the appearance of the celebrant and the foreign office, but the handiwork of a group of internal and external women, God knows if Chu Kuan is behind it? Before, it was clear that he wanted to suppress Zhang Shou, but now how does this seem to help Zhang Shou?
He felt very aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Miss Zhu made such a fuss today, wouldn't outsiders know that the rumors of the Guozijian dispute in the streets and alleys before were passed on by our celebrant supervisor?" ”
"So what?" Chu Kuan smiled indifferently, and the horizontal lines on his forehead seemed to stretch, "After knowing, they will also understand that the emperor wants people to know the truth about the dispute between the princes and the eunuchs, including the intentions of Zhou Luo and the others before this." Compared with the public saying that the public is justified, and the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is reasonable, our position is not biased in the first place. ”
"Don't worry if some people will be eyeing the boss. They don't have that time yet. There were so many people in Jiuzhangtang who went to Xuanda before, and the thunder in Wang Datou's place should almost explode at this time. In addition, the case of Guanglu Temple should almost have a result, and they may still have the time to stare at the number of lectures in the East Palace, but they don't have time to stare at Zhang Shou anymore, let alone have time to stare at the celebrant supervisor. ”
Zhu Ying naturally didn't know that Chu Kuan was deliberate, she waited for so long outside the ceremonial supervisor, and was carried home by Jiu Niang with a belly full of fire, she was full of evil fire and had nowhere to send it.
As a result, as soon as she arrived at Shou'an Hall, she found that her grandmother was smiling and pulling Zhang Shou to sit on the main seat and talk. This is not counting, from Lu Sanlang, Zhang Chen, Zhu Er, Ji Jiu and below...... The people who conspired with her to investigate were actually quite a few of them.
In the huge place, the chairs were lined up, and both honest and dishonest people sat neatly and neatly, as if they were sitting more upright than during classes on weekdays.
Lu Sanlang, a person who is used to changing faces, even has a smile on his face, as if it is not her Zhu Ying's grandmother sitting in front of him, but his grandmother. Even Zhang Chen, who has always been unruly, is extremely well-behaved.
Zhu Yingcai is not the kind of daughter who is well-behaved and obedient in front of outsiders, although she caught a glimpse of everyone at this time, it was obvious that Mrs. Tai knew what they were doing outside, but she still raised her eyebrows, and said with an unconvinced face: "Grandmother, why do you want your mother to take me back!" I want to see, I've been guarding there, can the people of the celebrant and the outer government still be hiding? ”
"They fanned the flames and pitted Ah Shou, of course, they also pitted Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye, but all in all, they were suspicious, shouldn't I find Chu Kuan's theory? He's going to have to give me an explanation! ”
Zhang Shou was also invited by Mrs. Tai, only to learn that Zhu Ying actually went straight to the ceremonial superintendent and went straight to the outer office of the celebrant alone after finding out the "mastermind behind the scenes", and then blocked the door of the house by himself - as for the strange situation that the ceremonial superintendent and the outer office did not leave a single person, this is just Zhu Hong arrived at Shou'an Hall one step earlier and reported it first.
At this moment, he could only touch his nose, thinking that the emperor was not in a hurry, the eunuch was in a hurry, he was good, a man was not in a hurry, and a woman was in a hurry!
Of course, he remembered that he had said before that he would share happiness and hardship, so he simply stood up: "Mrs. Tai, Yingying and others will go to investigate, I know about this." They are all busy for me, and the consequences are naturally borne by me......"
"There are no consequences, and Ah Shou, you don't have to just take responsibility." Mrs. Tai smiled and said lightly, "It's just that I broke into the foreign office of the celebrant and blocked the door for a while, and it hasn't been an hour in total, and it's not blocked for ten days and eight days, what's the responsibility and irresponsibility?" It's just a little thing about Yingying's temperament. ”
Seeing that Zhu Ying had such an expression as a matter of course, while the others below were either happy or relieved, or shocked or admired, only Zhang Shou seemed to be laughing, Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "The emperor obviously also saw the shortcomings of the Guozijian, and knew that your Jiuzhangtang couldn't stay in the lifeless place of the Guozijian, so he acquiesced to you starting anew." ”
"But since we have to start anew, we must first make things clear, and we can't let all kinds of messy news fly all over the sky, so there are celebrants who act on the holy orders and set the tone for this matter......
"Grandmother, that's not the case, there were obviously people fanning the flames in the Guozijian before...... Not! Before Zhu Ying finished speaking, her mouth was covered by a hand. She was furious at first, but when she saw the jade ring on her hand clearly, she immediately dismissed the idea of struggling. Will she still be unclear about her mother's temperament and ability?
Her little martial arts can't beat her mother at all, so it's strange that she can break free at this time!
And Jiu Niang covered Zhu Ying's words back lightly, but did not let go, but said lightly: "Chu Kuan of the celebrant is a person who can bend and stretch, so Yingying is almost making trouble." Anyway, today, smart people know that he is the troublemaker. Of course, he didn't plan to hide it, otherwise it would be strange for you people to find out! ”
Seeing that Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen were unconvinced, Jiu Niang said in a hurry: "Chu Kuan entered the ceremonial supervisor in his early years, and once helped the emperor deal with those old men who were picking thorns all day long, I heard Yingying's father say that he had done a lot of sensational things, but others didn't know. Now this little thing has been found by a group of your fledgling juniors, isn't his palm print in vain? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Shou finally tasted a little taste: "What does Aunt Jiu mean is that Gonggong Chu did it on purpose?" If it was really deliberate, and he was not afraid that others would know that it was his handiwork, then, did the celebrant plan to come to the stage? ”
This time, it was replaced by the boys who were present. In the past, the celebrant was just a low-key yamen who didn't have much sense of existence, but because it was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, they wouldn't provoke it casually. If the celebrant really came to the stage, would what they did this time be counted?
Mrs. Tai waved her hand to signal Jiuniang to let go of Zhu Ying, but she replied in person: "It can't be regarded as walking to the front of the stage, it's just that Chu Kuan has a tough personality and is loyal, and because of Emperor Ruizong's death anyway, he is wary of many courtiers." Now that the prince will be established, but he is not yet ten years old, if he is taught astray by someone with a heart, it will be over. ”
"Before Yingzong, how the prince taught, it was all up to the civil officials, and those civil officials even put their hands into the palace and arbitrarily installed people, and when Yingzong ascended the throne from the foreign domain, he killed and killed, and his temperament was too strong, and his princes were already adults, so others couldn't work teaching, so they instigated those princes to make trouble, and the first thing Ruizong did when he ascended the throne, in addition to cleaning the court, was to kill dozens of the princes' advisers and henchmen."
"Among them, how many of them were the secret henchmen of those bigwigs at that time, no one can say."
Mrs. Tai suddenly talked about the secret, and no one expected it. At this time, the sons and brothers present, even if their status in the family is far better than before, no one told them this, some people listened to it with relish for a while, and some people listened to it with horror.
As for Zhang Shou, he didn't have much psychological burden just listening to the story, but Zhu Ying came over and sat down next to him, and whispered about Jiu Niang's arbitrariness, and he had to comfort her a few words, so he was a little distracted.
Ruizong chose Mrs. Ge as a teacher for the current emperor, which surprised many people at that time. Mrs. Ge was a former minister who was deeply favored by Yingzong, but in the end, many people were painstakingly arranged to put aside the innocent lectures, so that the emperor's personality was harder than that of Emperor Ruizong. And now, the crown prince will be established, and the emperor has chosen you to be the first to speak, and many people are afraid that the situation will repeat the same mistakes. ”
"The emperor is such a difficult son of heaven, they don't want to have a second one."
