Chapter 504: The Visitor (Part II)
Zhao Tingzhu saw that Lan Ziyi was angry, so he stopped talking, the ladies in the house were sent away by Lan Ziyi as early as when Zhao Tingzhu entered the door, and now there are only Lan and Zhao in the house, and when both of them stopped talking, the room became silent.
Lan Ziyi sat at the table and stared down at the tea on the table, his figure was a little rickety, and he looked tired. If the person opposite Lan Ziyi is Zhang Mingyue or the father and son of the Qiu family, or the two fathers-in-law of Yu and Long, it must be seen that Zhao Tingzhu's words poked Lan Ziyi's sore spot, and Lan Ziyi's appearance only shows that the things Zhao Tingzhu mentioned made him feel ashamed.
If Zhao Tingzhu can see Lan Ziyi's flaw, he will naturally not let go of this flaw, but Lan Ziyi, who can see Lan Ziyi's flaw, will definitely be on guard, and will never easily reveal his true feelings, let alone allow him to say so much and talk for so long. This is a paradox, for Lan Ziyi, what he likes and what he believes must be a person in temperament, and a person in temperament can persuade Lan Ziyi but cannot see through Lan Ziyi. When Lan Ziyi lowered his head and thought, Zhao Tingzhu also lowered his head.
Lan Ziyi's heart is now full of chagrin and helplessness, King De and Lan Ziyi are two people who are completely opposite, in Lan Ziyi's opinion, what King De did is not something that people can do at all. If it were possible, Lan Ziyi would never be next to such a person as a staff member, but the reality was so overwhelming that Lan Ziyi had to kneel down to wipe his ass for King De, and every time he wiped it, Lan Ziyi's conscience was tormented.
Although Lan Ziyi still trusts Zhao Tingzhu very much, he will not continue to show fatigue to let Zhao Tingzhu see, Lan Ziyi must stop his train of thought, because this road was opened by Zhao Tingzhu, and if he continues to think like this, Lan Ziyi will only follow Zhao Tingzhu.
Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi sighed silently, obviously Zhao Tingzhu's idea is the idea that Lan Ziyi is most willing to use, obviously Lan Ziyi's wish is to become a backbone minister like Zhao Tingzhu, but now he has to go to the opposite of his ideals, what pain and helplessness this is.
Lan Ziyi raised his hand and wanted to rub his temples, but halfway through his hand, Lan Ziyi changed to reaching out to serve tea, and after taking a sip of tea, Lan Ziyi said:
"Lord Zhao, this is King De's Mansion, and it is very dangerous for you to slander King De like this."
Zhao Tingzhu raised his head when he heard this, and said righteously:
"I don't know what kind of Dewang Mansion this is, I only know that this is the Taisho Jingshi, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the first good area! As a Dali Siqing, I can only watch this kind of unjust case happen, and this is all because of King De! King De is tyrannical like this, but he wants to be made the crown prince by the emperor, if he really lets King De ascend the throne, what will this Taisho world be ruined into? Doesn't Wei Hou think about it?
Although I don't have much personal friendship with Wei Hou, I heard that Wei Hou is a person who has read the scriptures and history, as a protΓ©gΓ© of a saint, can Wei Hou bear to use the safety of the world and the lives of the people to exchange his glory and wealth? β
Lan Ziyi, as a member of the Dewang Mansion, should not have let Zhao Tingzhu continue to speak, but Zhao Tingzhu said it so brightly that Lan Ziyi didn't have the courage to interrupt him, and Lan Ziyi didn't even have the courage to raise his head and look at Zhao Tingzhu. It wasn't until a long time after Zhao Tingzhu finished saying that Lan Ziyi spoke:
"King De is young, and it is normal to indulge, as long as there is a mentor and helpful friend to assist, he will be able to walk on the right path in the future, Lord Zhao is too worried."
After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he smiled bitterly in his heart, once upon a time, Gonggong Long took the words to comfort Lan Ziyi, but now Lan Ziyi took them out to prevaricate Zhao Tingzhu, how ironic this is.
Zhao Tingzhu was stunned at first when he heard this, it was obvious that he didn't expect Lan Ziyi to say this, but he soon found a good wording, and only heard him say:
"The Marquis of Wei, the prince is benevolent and filial, and he is really the king of success. If the crown prince ascends the throne, although he cannot ensure the great achievements of Taisho, he will pass on the foundation of Taisho for thousands of years. King De is a scoundrel and is not enough to inherit the throne. β
When Lan Ziyi heard Zhao Tingzhu's words, he really wanted to be laughed out loud by Zhao Tingzhu. Zhao Tingzhu obviously didn't think about how to refute Lan Ziyi's words, he just took out the latter rhetoric and forced it on.
Lan Ziyi asked Zhao Tingzhu with a smile:
"Isn't Lord Zhao just talking about King De? Why did you bring the prince out again? β
θ΅΅δΈζ± says:
"When it comes to King De, he must talk about the abolition of the prince, and when it comes to the abolition of the reserve, he must talk about the prince."
Lan Ziyi said:
"Didn't Lord Zhao come to chat with me? Can it still be considered a chat if the adults are so passionate now? β
Zhao Tingzhu hesitated a little when he heard this, and then simply ignored Lan Ziyi's question, and only said to himself:
"Has Wei Hou ever seen the crown prince? As long as Wei Hou sees the prince, he will know that the prince is the prince who can be admonished and the lord of mercy. β
"Enough!"
Lan Ziyi let out a low roar and got up from the table again. Lan Ziyi has seen the prince, although there is only one side, but the prince has left a profound influence on Lan Ziyi. Although the prince's qualifications are only Chinese, as Zhao Tingzhu said, the prince is the lord of leniency, and he is more than 10,000 times better than the prince of De.
Lan Ziyi had to admit that Zhao Tingzhu's remarks moved Lan Ziyi to a certain extent.
After getting up, Lan Ziyi walked a few steps, turned his back to Zhao Tingzhu and asked:
"Lord Zhao still said that he was not instructed by Zhang Mingyue? You are already a princeling, and you still say that you are not Zhang Mingyue's person? β
Zhao Tingzhu heard the words and said:
"Yes, Zhang Mingyue is a guest of the prince, and the prince does rely on Zhang Mingyue, but to say that there is any princeling is a misunderstanding of Wei Hou, as Wei Hou said, if there is a princeling, then all the officials in the court are princelings! As long as it is a person and has a conscience, he will support the crown prince to ascend the throne. β
Lan Ziyi said:
"Lord Zhao! The emperor is still rich in the spring and autumn, and Lord Zhao has mentioned the matter of enthronement over and over again, what does Lord Zhao want to do? β
Zhao Tingzhu said:
"The emperor has been infected with wind and disease for 20 years, and he can't speak this year, how can he say that he is still rich in the spring and autumn? It is clear that the crown prince has more than one spring and autumn, but the emperor still refuses to pass on the crown prince and refuses to let the prince supervise the country, what is the reason? β
Lan Ziyi didn't speak again when he heard this, he knew that with Zhao Tingzhu's uprightness, he was not afraid that Lan Ziyi would give him the hat of rebellion.
Lan Ziyi took a deep breath and thought for a long time before saying:
"Lord Zhao said so much, and I heard it all, but you said such good things about King De for a long time, but I don't know what Lord Zhao meant."
Zhao Tingzhu heard the words and said:
"I want to ask the Marquis of Wei to speak out about King De's evil deeds in the court."
Lan Ziyi laughed when he heard this, and he said:
"Lord Zhao wants me to sell my lord for glory?"
Zhao Tingzhu said:
"The crown prince is my Taizheng prince, the prince is the lord, what qualifications does King De have to be the lord?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"Lord Zhao, although King De is stubborn, he has never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, I don't know what the evil deeds Lord Zhao is talking about."
Zhao Tingzhu heard this:
"Wei Hou doesn't want to mention the matter of spring ploughing, but what about the affairs in the army? If it weren't for King De's pit harm, how could Wei Hou have failed to destroy the thieves after such a long expedition, and put the demon thieves at the foot of the capital? β
Lan Ziyi didn't answer when he heard this, he just stood in the middle of the room with his back to Zhao Tingzhu, and just stood like that.
Zhao Tingzhu waited for a long time and asked:
"Wei Hou Mo is not afraid of Father-in-law Yu and Father-in-law Long."
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he wanted to refute Zhao Tingzhu's use of the word "afraid", but in the end, Lan Ziyi still held back, if it was really refuted, it would leave room for people with ulterior motives to stir up.
Zhao Tingzhu saw that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, and asked:
"After Lan Ziyi is a general, he has read the scriptures and history, and he is both civil and military, is he willing to be a eunuch?"
The word "eunuch" really pierced his heart, Lan Ziyi couldn't help but look back at Zhao Tingzhu after hearing it, but he didn't get angry because of this, he turned to Zhao Tingzhu and said:
"Father-in-law Yu has an old relationship with my Lan family, and my father is taken care of by my father-in-law, and I am also cared for by my father-in-law. I know that Lord Zhao looks down on eunuchs, but Father-in-law Yu is an elder to me Lan Ziyi, and I definitely can't talk about eunuchs or eunuchs with him. β
Zhao Tingzhu heard the words and said:
"Since Wei Hou said that he is an old friend with Father-in-law Yu, then I won't talk too much. But what is the friendship between Marquis Wei and Gonggong Long? Why do you have to give your life to Grandpa Long? I want to ask Wei Hou to say that it is the evil deeds of King De, not the evil deeds of Yu Gonggong, why should Wei Hou scruples? β
