Chapter 501: Learning from the Past and Knowing the Future
Lan Ziyi didn't rush to answer Qiu Wenruo's question, he handed over the brocade box that the emperor had given him just now to Tao Zhutu on the side, and walked back to the house. Lan Ziyi sat down with his back to the door, in the eyes of the enemy's father and son, Lan Ziyi seemed unwilling to talk to them more, but in fact, Lan Ziyi just didn't want to recall what happened in the morning.
The father and son of the Qiu family bowed slightly at the door, waiting for Lan Zi's righteous words. Time seemed to stand still, and the whole room was frozen together, no longer moving.
After putting the brocade box on the table, Tao Zhutu sat at the table with Lan Ziyi. The silence in the room made him at a loss, he looked at his young master, but he didn't see any movement from Lan Ziyi, so he turned to the father and son of the enemy family, and he said:
"Don't stand at the door, two gentlemen, we have something to sit down and talk."
As soon as Tao Zhutu opened his mouth to invite the father and son of the Qiu family to take a seat, Lan Ziyi suddenly said coldly:
"Today I am with Grandpa Long...... There was a fight. ”
Lan Ziyi suddenly opened his mouth and scared the unprepared Tao Zhutu, but he did not scare the father and son of the enemy family. The father and son had been prepared for a long time, and Lan Ziyi's words were expected for them rather than a sudden blow.
The father and son of the Qiu family, Lan Ziyi, walked to the table when Lan Ziyi spoke, and when Lan Ziyi finished speaking, Qiu Wenruo asked:
"So today Gonggong Long will carry the emperor out and set a peace wine for you and him?"
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"It looks like this."
Qiu Xiao asked directly:
"To let the father-in-law carry the emperor out, presumably the marquis of Wei had a very unpleasant quarrel with the father-in-law of Long today. I don't know why Gonggong Long quarreled with Wei Hou? ”
Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this, straightened out his thoughts, and carefully told the father and son of the enemy family what happened in the military aircraft department as soon as possible, and many details that Lan Ziyi did not mention at the lunch table were all told this time.
After saying this, Lan Ziyi paused, and then he asked:
"I've always felt that my father-in-law's city is quite deep, but I didn't expect to have such an impulsive move today."
Qiu Wenruo said:
"Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, anger is the norm, not to mention that Gong Long is the master of ceremonies, and he is favored by the emperor, under one person, above ten thousand, arrogant, it is normal to not swallow this breath."
Qiu Xiao nodded and said:
"Wen Ruo is right. I heard that this Gonggong Long was the son of the patriarch of the Maoren people back then, and from what Wei Hou said about today's situation, Gonggong Long was also very arrogant when he was a child. “
Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, he didn't squeak, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell others that his mother was also a descendant of the Mao people.
Tao Zhutu heard what Qiu Xiaozhi said, and said with a smile:
"After listening to what the young master said, how do I feel that Gonggong Long's temper is so similar to that of King De?"
Qiu Xiao shook his fingers and pointed at Tao Zhutu and said with a smile:
"San Lang is open-mouthed, and he is so accommodating, be careful that Gonggong Long takes you into the Temple of Washing Grievances."
Peach Rabbit smiled:
"If Mr. says that Father-in-law Yu will take me, I will still believe it, as for Father-in-law Long, he is in charge of the celebrant and supervisor, does he control the city guards, and I am not afraid that his ears will eavesdrop on the roof, and he will be teased soon."
After Tao Zhutu finished speaking, everyone laughed again.
After laughing, Lan Ziyi said:
"After being reminded by the third brother, it seems that the personalities of King De and Gonggong Long are really similar."
Qiu Wenruo said:
"King De was raised by Grandpa Long since he was a child, and he is still scared when he sees Grandpa Long, and there must be similarities in the personalities of the two."
Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this:
"In this way, King De has no virtue, and Long's father-in-law has no way to educate."
Everyone laughed again when they heard this.
After laughing, Lan Ziyi sighed:
"It's a pity that Zhang Hou, Geng's upright temperament is not suitable for this kind of occasion."
Qiu Xiaozhi corrected Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, there is no more Zhang Hou."
Lan Ziyi was taken aback when he heard this, turned his face to look at Qiu Xiaozhi and was relieved. After Zhang Yanwu has sinned against so many people today, the division of the lord he did will definitely be gone.
Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi sighed, and then he said lonely:
"Although I have not been in the army for a long time with Zhang Gongzi, I admire his character and talent. Such an iron-clad man has no credit because he can't speak, this world! “
The others at the same table listened to Lan Ziyi's emotion and did not interject. After Lan Ziyi sighed, he remembered one thing, and he said:
"Today, in the military aircraft department, Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Long joined forces to sing harmony, so that Zhang Mingyue had nowhere to talk back, and there was only one Du Ji in the cabinet who was speaking for Zhang Mingyue, and when Du Ji was suppressed by Father-in-law Yu, Zhang Mingyue could only go into battle shirtless.
Isn't Zhang Mingyue the leader of Shilin and the first person in the foreign dynasty? Why didn't anyone stand up for him? Isn't his power as big as he thinks? “
Qiu Wenruo stroked his beard and thought about it when he heard this, and then he asked Lan Ziyi rhetorically:
"Wei Hou has been in Beijing for so long, and he has participated in the temple court battle several times, dare to ask Wei Hou, which side of my Taizheng court has the final say, the inner court or the outer court?"
Lan Ziyi thought for a while and said:
"It doesn't count, the emperor said it."
Qiu Xiao took over the words when he heard this:
"Yes, what the emperor said is counted, the inner court and the outer court are just tools for the emperor to rule the world. Since it is a tool, it must not hurt the hand that handles the tool, otherwise the tool will be discarded. ”
Lan Ziyi thought for a moment and asked:
"What does Mr. Xiaozhi mean that Zhang Mingyue is deliberately showing weakness in the Military Aircraft Department?"
Qiu Xiao said straightly:
"There is a sign of weakness, but it is not just a show of weakness."
Seeing that Lan Ziyi seemed to understand something, Qiu Wenruo explained:
"Said that Zhang Mingyue showed weakness, that is because when the demon thieves came to the city, Zhang Mingyue led hundreds of officials into the palace to force the emperor to let the prince come out to supervise the country, if the emperor is ruthless, after you return from victory, you should copy Zhang Mingyue's home, but the emperor did not do this, not only did not do it, but also took the Eastern Army, which had a lot of dealings with Zhang Mingyue, as the Beijing army, which was intended to let Zhang Mingyue live. Zhang Mingyue is so smart and knows the reason for advancing and retreating, so he naturally does not dare to step forward and trespass in the short term, so as not to cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. So in the cabinet, he went into battle on his own, and did not look for anyone else. “
Qiu Xiaozhi broke a fruit and ate it, and then said:
"But if you only see Zhang Mingyue showing weakness, you are scratching the skin, and you don't understand the root. Listening to what Wei Hou said just now, the other middle halls in the cabinet shouldn't have spoken today, right? ”
Lan Ziyi thought about it when he heard this, and nodded in response to Qiu Xiaozhi.
Qiu Xiao smiled and said:
"Although several middle halls in the cabinet are ranked, in the final analysis, they are all the heads of my Taisho, and every move can affect the safety of the world. As a result, a few of them actually watched Zhang Mingyue and the two fathers-in-law come and go, but none of them came out to mediate or put forward other opinions, which is abnormal. ”
Hearing this, Peach Chase Rabbit interjected:
"Haven't scholars always looked down on eunuchs, maybe they didn't bother to interject."
Qiu Xiao smiled and said:
"A few Zhongtang despise the eunuchs and can besiege the two fathers-in-law with Zhang Mingyue, why shut up?"
Lan Ziyi heard this:
"Mr. means ....."
Qiu Wenruo interjected and replied:
"Several Zhongtang are showing weakness for Zhang Mingyue. Zhang Mingyue's forces have already unified the foreign courts, and even if several Zhongtang have the heart, they don't have the strength to fight against Zhang Mingyue. ”
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he suddenly realized, he took a deep breath and said:
"In this way, it is the inner court that is declining."
Qiu Xiao smiled when he heard this:
"Wei Hou can be considered to understand."
Tao Zhutu didn't understand the conversation of several people, and he asked:
"Didn't you say that Zhang Mingyue was pressed and beaten by two fathers-in-law? Didn't you say that Zhang Mingyue showed weakness? Why is it declining again? ”
Qiu Wenruo smiled and explained:
"The inner court and the outer court are both the emperor's left and right hands, and the strength of the left and right hands is planned to be the same size. Now the outer court has been twisted into a rope by Zhang Mingyue, and the inner court has two heads, one is Long and one is Yu, and these two heads are not harmonious, so that the power of the inner court is dispersed, and the inside and outside are strong and weak. San Lang You think, Zhang Mingyue wants to go into battle shirtless, so he fought the two fathers-in-law in the cabinet, if Zhang Mingyue doesn't want to go in person, he can find someone to come like at the reception banquet that day. On the contrary, there are two fathers-in-law, they have no one to send, they can only go on their own, and the two of them themselves are still dirty. “
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit scratched his hair and complained:
"You scholars, you are thinking about these things all day long, I can't figure it out."
Everyone laughed when they heard the complaint of the peach and the rabbit. It was Lan Ziyi, who sighed after laughing:
"Big and small, high and low, strong and weak. Zhang Mingyue is not simple. ”
After hearing Lan Ziyi's words, the father and son of the Qiu family exchanged glances with each other, and then Qiu Xiaozhi asked:
From Wei Hou's words today, it is not difficult to hear Wei Hou's praise for Zhang Mingyue. Could it be that Wei Hou really felt that Zhang Mingyue's few words in the military aircraft department were showing favor to Wei Hou? ”
