Chapter 218: Chen Guang's Calculation
Chen Guang sometimes admires his foresight. Ten years ago, Chen Guang was bored and buried a nail in Xijing.
In the past ten years, this nail has hardly been used, except for the regular delivery of silver. This time, he was ordered to come to Xijing to meet Emperor Zhou, and Chen Guang began to investigate the intelligence of Xijing by himself.
The silver is not less, and the person who does the work is also a smart person who knows the role of this silver, so although he has bought off the officials of the court over the years, he has really bought many servants and maids in the mansion of high-ranking officials. There are even a few housekeepers and the like.
I still know a lot about some of the things these big officials do in private. These are some of the things that Chen Guang urgently needs right now.
Chen Guang urgently needed to know how Emperor Li Yuan of Zhou would deal with the Duke of Jingguo, even if he knew that Emperor Zhou would not dispose of the Duke of Jingguo, he still had a glimmer of hope.
"What is the reaction of the ministers of the court?"
As soon as Chen Guang sat down, he opened his mouth to ask, obviously very worried about the reaction of the DPRK and Chinese ministers to the Yasukuni Gong incident.
The person who was questioned was a middle-aged man named Chen Shuifeng. Ten years ago, refugees from the south came to Xijing, and were valued by Chen Guang's people, and after giving a sum of silver, they did small business in the capital. By the way, I found out the news for the Chen family.
I saw that Chen Shuifeng saluted Chen Guang and said, "My lord, there is no reaction from each family, but they will all pass it on again, and the emperor will not do anything to the Duke of Yasukuni." ”
Although he knew that this was the result, Chen Guang was still a little unhappy after hearing it. His brow furrowed slightly, and then he slammed the table hard.
Seeing that Chen Guang was angry, Chen Shuifeng lowered his head more and more, and after a while, he said: "My lord, in fact, this matter is nothing to the Duke of Yasukuni. Some time ago, someone in the court impeached the Yasukuni Gong for supporting the army and respecting himself, but the emperor did not say anything, but the imperial history who played the complaint fell into bad luck and was driven out of the capital. ”
"I know about this, the military power in the northern border of Yasukuni was seized, but the strength of the garrison division was retained." Chen Guang frowned and said, then glanced at Chen Shuifeng, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"My lord, there is one person in this matter who has nothing to do, do you know who it is?"
"Who is it?"
Looking at Chen Shuifeng with a smile on his face, Chen Guang asked with some doubts.
"My lord, it is Ye Qing, the Marquis of Shanyin, this person is the only one among the nobles who attacked the Yasukuni Gong, after the matter was revealed, he spent a lot of effort to make up for the Yasukuni Gong, and wanted to make the Yasukuni Gong forgive himself, but the money was spent a lot, and the villain has not heard the news that the Yasukuni Gong forgave the other party.
The little one made friends with a steward in the Marquis of Sanyin's mansion before and knew the inside story. This Marquis of San'in is a noble in the court, and if he can win him over, it is not impossible. ”
Hearing Chen Shuifeng say this, Chen Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something. What the other party said is not wrong, if you can pull the nobles in the court into the water, even if you can't deal with the Duke of Yasukuni, you can slowly figure it out, so that the Chen family and the nobles of the Great Zhou have some intersections, and it may be of great use in the future, the most important thing is that the nobles of the Great Zhou can still respond to their own internal responses.
As for why Chen Guang was so confident that the Marquis of Shanyin could be pulled into the water by himself at this time, it was all because the Chen family had never believed that there was no one who didn't like money.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was more reliable, Chen Guang looked at Chen Shuifeng with a happy face and said, "This idea is good, I should reward you well." When this is done, Lord Ben will be rewarded. ”
Hearing Chen Guang say this, Chen Shuifeng said with a smile: "Then the little one will arrange contact, and the adults will wait for the good news." ”
"Wait!"
Chen Shuifeng was just about to go out to run errands, but was instantly stopped by Chen Guang, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and then looked at Chen Guang and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Set the price a little higher, don't feel sorry for the money, let the Marquis of Sanyin be corrupt at home!"
Chen Shuifeng was overjoyed, and said, "I know, adults are waiting for the little good news." ”
After speaking, Chen Shuifeng turned around and left, and after Chen Guang waited for a while, he also stood up and left the small courtyard and rushed towards Honglu Temple.
In the silent courtyard, there was a sudden soft sound, Fu Qiuxue jumped down from the roof, then looked at the door with some doubts, and after hesitating for a moment, he muttered: "What IQ do these two people have?" ”
With the puzzlement in her heart, Fu Qiuxue rushed back towards the Yasukuni Mansion, although the news sounded a bit nonsense, but Fu Qiuxue felt that it was better for her to send the news back.
……
Yasukuni Mansion, study
Fu Qiuxue was a little surprised when she rushed back, because Ye Qing, Marquis of Shanyin, was also there. Fu Qiuxue had just appeared outside the courtyard, and Lin Yuan, who was talking in the study, heard the movement.
The reason why I called Ye Qing, the Marquis of Shanyin, over today is because I was grounded, and I can only hand over the finishing work of the academy to Ye Qing at the moment, so that things can continue.
The two of them were worried about money at this time, the silver approved by the palace was blindly expanded by the emperor, and Lin Yuan had a casual person from time to time, this silver was already at the bottom, and it seemed that there would be no money. The affairs of this school will inevitably stop.
His ears moved, Lin Yuan frowned and looked up, and asked, "Yu Shi!" Who's coming? ”
"Grandpa Qiqi, Fu Qiuxue is here."
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows, the expression on his face was a little puzzled, what was this Fu Qiuxue doing when he came to find him at this time?
And Ye Qing on the side saw Lin Yuan's appearance like this, so he knew that this Fu Qiuxue was not an ordinary person, thought about it and said, "Grandpa, since this is the case, I will retire first, and then discuss this matter." ”
Who knew that as soon as the words fell, he saw Lin Yuan waving his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not necessarily urgent, listen and talk." ”
"Let people in." Lin Yuan commanded lightly.
After Fu Qiuxue got the order, she walked into the study. As soon as he looked up, he saw Shanyin Hou Ye Qing sitting on the side, and Fu Qiuxue's expression was suddenly stunned.
At this time, Ye Qing was also a little puzzled, looking at Fu Qiuxue's eyes, it seemed that he knew himself, but he didn't know the other party.
"Fu Qiuxue, meet grandpa."
"What's the matter?"
Fu Qiuxue had just finished saluting when she heard the inquiry of Yasukuni Gong Lin Yuan. Then he glanced at Ye Qing and didn't speak.
"Does it have anything to do with Ye Houye?" Lin Yuan opened his mouth and asked, Fu Qiuxue didn't have anything important recently, unless it was related to Ye Qing, otherwise she wouldn't be so scrupulous.
Lin Yuan saw Fu Qiuxue nodded, then thought about it and said, "Say it, it doesn't matter." ”
