Chapter 502: Visitors
Qiu Wenruo followed up and asked:
"Does Wei Hou think that Zhang Mingyue will give Wei Hou a favor for no reason?"
Lan Ziyi touched his chin when he heard this, and after a while, he said with a smile:
"Why did the two gentlemen suddenly become so serious, it made the atmosphere in the room tense."
Qiu Wenruo replied:
"My father and I are both members of the Weihou staff, how can we not be loyal? Now Wei Hou is in the eye of the storm of the battle in the Taizheng Temple, and if he makes a mistake, he will be in danger. Today, Gonggong Long summoned Wei Hou to the celebrant and had the intention of beating Wei Hou, but he used too much force and had a dirty relationship with Wei Hou. With the status and character of Father-in-law Long, he actually raised the emperor out tonight to appease the Marquis of Wei, which shows the importance of the status of the Marquis of Wei. “
Qiu Xiao said directly:
"The current point of contention in the court is nothing more than whether the king should bring troops into the city and be honored. Since Xie Xuanming Yuzhou buried himself in danger, no one under Zhang Mingyue has been involved in the army anymore. Ren Zhang Mingyue and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty scolded King De for how fierce, and they did not have a human witness that they could directly use to prove that King De had indeed ruined major events in the army. Officers at all levels in the army are in the hands of Father-in-law Yu, and no one will come out to testify for King De. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"There is also the Eastern Army, the Eastern Army is not the person of Father-in-law Yu."
Qiu Xiao asked rhetorically:
"Since the Eastern Army doesn't listen to the discipline of Duke Yu, did Wei Hou see the original Eastern Army and the current Beijing Army when he went to the military aircraft today? Did Qi Rongxun come out to speak for Zhang Mingyue? ”
Lan Ziyi was dumbfounded by Qiu Xiao's direct question, and Qiu Xiaozhi saw that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, so he continued:
"What is the unbearable King De, everyone can see it clearly in their eyes, and they understand in their hearts, if to tell the truth, it is not too much for King De to be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded a hundred times, if so, what else do you have to fight for? Now the arguing in the palace is nothing more than talking nonsense with their eyes open, those who have the courage to scold King De are not qualified to scold, and those who are qualified to scold are not qualified to say it. In fact, this time the first pen of the military merit of suppressing thieves should be recorded on Taiwei Zhang, and secondly, it should be divided equally between Wei Hou and Qi Hou, is it possible to do so? “
Qiu Wenruo then persuaded Lan Ziyi to say:
"Wei Hou, you will fight from beginning to end on this expedition, if you stand up and say that King De has broken the big matter of suppressing thieves, then King De's crime is a certainty, and no matter how much the two fathers-in-law fight, they can't fight back. It is precisely because Wei Hou has a pivotal position in this controversy that Zhang Mingyue has repeatedly tried to involve Wei Hou in the cabinet controversy. And today, Zhang Mingyue is lying to Wei Hou's trust when he speaks for Wei Hou. Wouldn't Zhang Mingyue win if he could pull Wei Hou to his side again? “
Tao Zhutu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't interject for a long time, and was about to fall asleep, but when he heard Qiu Wenruo say that Zhang Mingyue was lying to Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhutu immediately came to his senses, and he hurriedly responded:
"That's it! Young master, don't be deceived by Zhang Mingyue again. ”
Lan Ziyi heard what Tao Zhutu said, smiled and stood up from his seat. It was normal to get up from the seat and walk around, but Lan Ziyi felt that there was a twisted and entangled power in his heart, which was stimulated by the words of the other three people present, and finally drove Lan Ziyi to jump up from his seat. Although Lan Ziyi didn't want to admit it, he also knew that he was standing up to avoid the three of them.
After getting up, Lan Ziyi laughed a few more times, and after pacing in the room for a long time, he said to the father and son of the enemy family:
"The two gentlemen have persuaded hard. I have already seen through Zhang Mingyue's character, he will never lie to me again, I will not fall for him, the two gentlemen can rest assured. ”
Then Lan Ziyi looked at the sky outside the window, and then turned his head to the enemy's father and son and Tao Zhutu and said:
"It's not early, the third brother and the two gentlemen should also go back to rest, I also need to rest and sober up."
Tao Zhutu had long been tired of listening to the conversation between Lan Ziyi and the father and son of the Qiu family, so when he heard this, he yawned and got up, and went out to go back to the house.
The father and son of the Qiu family don't want to be as simple as chasing the rabbit, they can see that Lan Ziyi is still hesitating in his heart, but Lan Ziyi has already said that he is sending off the guests, and the father and son of the Qiu family have no reason to continue to take it. So the father and son got up and went out. It's just that before going out, Qiu Wenruo turned around and came to Lan Ziyi uneasily, and he told Lan Ziyi in a serious tone:
"Wei Hou, respect is respect, birth is born, Zhang Mingyue is definitely not a fellow Wei Hou, if you have illusions about Zhang Mingyue, you will be calculated in the future. Wei Hou must remember that you were born in the army, leaning on the door of Yugonggong, this root, you can't forget it. “
After listening to what Qiu Wenruo said, Lan Ziyi nodded with a smile and replied:
"Sir, don't worry, Ziyi is already clear."
When Qiu Wenruo heard this, he stared at Lan Ziyi for a while, then shook his head lightly and went out with his father.
Lan Ziyi finally sent everyone away, and after a few people were far away, he sat back on the recliner and let out a sigh of relief.
The father and son of the Qiu family are worthy of being capable and wise men who can pinch and calculate, and they can see through what Lan Ziyi thinks at a glance.
The room with only one person finally fell silent, Lan Ziyi took a deep breath and plunged himself into the tranquility around him, and then he began to think about the conversation he had with the father and son of the enemy family just now. Lan Ziyi is not clear about the situation that the father and son of the Qiu family said, but when he is in turmoil, where does he get the mental strength to think about these problems? Now that he has the strength to think about this problem, Lan Ziyi can naturally see that the content analyzed by the father and son of the Qiu family is accurate and in place, which is exactly what Lan Ziyi needs to be careful about.
Lan Ziyi, who had figured it out, opened his eyes, he got up and poured himself a cup of tea, and after tasting it, he said to himself:
"Does Zhang Mingyue think I'm a three-year-old child? Take a few words and coax me, you look down on people too much! ”
After saying that, Lan Ziyi walked to the desk and opened the book with the lamp.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, Lan Ziyi thought that the matter could be put to an end temporarily, but as soon as he sat down at the desk, a maid knocked on the door outside the room:
"Wei Hou, someone asks to see you."
Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this:
"It's dark, and someone is still asking to see you?"
Then Lan Ziyi thought about it, and commanded the maid from a distance across the outer room:
"Tell the visitor that I have slept and am not in sight."
When the maid heard this, she turned around and was about to go out to deliver the word.
Lan Ziyi heard the footsteps of the maid leaving, and suddenly a thought flashed through him, he stopped the maid and asked:
"Who's coming?"
The maid was called back to the house by Lan Ziyi, and when she heard this, she replied:
"Back to Weihou, the person who came called himself Zhao Tingzhu, the secretary of Dali Temple."
Lan Ziyi was taken aback when he heard what the maid said, not only because Dali Siqing was a member of the court and had a high position, but also because Zhao Tingzhu had exonerated Lan Ziyi in public in the previous Yugou incident, which was his benefactor.
So Lan Ziyi hurriedly got up and complained to the maid:
"Since it's Lord Zhao, why didn't you say it earlier. How much face does my Lan Ziyi have, how dare I let the Sanpin Jingguan eat a closed door? Quickly find someone to change my clothes for me, and you go and invite Lord Zhao in. Oh, don't forget to prepare some handicaps. ”
The maid took the order, and Lan Ziyi quickly changed her clothes. After Lan Ziyi was ready, Zhao Tingzhu was also introduced by the maid to Lan Ziyi's study.
The two naturally saluted each other when they met, and after a polite meeting, Lan Ziyi led Zhao Tingzhu to take a seat. After the two of them tasted tea, Lan Ziyi asked:
"Ziyi is not talented, not only can there be something that can alarm Lord Zhao to come to discuss it after dark."
Zhao Tingzhu smiled when he heard this, and said:
"It's nothing, just come and talk to Wei Hou."
Lan Ziyi was prepared and entertained with an open mind, without thinking much about anything else. But Zhao Tingzhu's answer was like a slap in the face to wake up Lan Ziyi. The Lan family and Zhao Tingzhu are not old friends, and Lan Ziyi only met once when he entered Beijing when he was in charge of the crime of Yugou, where is a little thin edge enough for people to come over and chat? If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, Zhao Tingzhu must have something to hide.
Lan Ziyi secretly wiped a handful of sweat, if it weren't for Zhao Tingzhu who said that he leaked his mouth and revealed flaws that made Lan Ziyi suspicious, it would be dangerous to talk about it today.
Lan Ziyi showed a smile after thinking about it, he got up and poured water for Zhao Tingzhu personally, and then said with a smile:
"With Lord Zhao's identity and my current situation, I guess Lord Zhao wants to talk to me about King De, right?"
