Chapter 597: Demons and Evils
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Hongrun let out a long breath and shook his head. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"The Throne...... It's not what the king wants......"
After that, he looked at Luo Ying with regretful eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart: The talent at your fingertips has nothing to do with me.
But it is undeniable that Luo Ying is right, how could Confucian scholars like them with lofty goals be willing to defect to a prince who is determined to be a prince who is determined to be a gentleman?
Like the East Palace, like the King of Yong, those princes who can become the monarch of the Wei State, are the targets of these scribes to follow and die, after all, the former can support them, realize their ambitions, and make the Wei State more powerful.
And just when Zhao Hongrun was full of regret, he saw Luo Ying smile from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "Zhou Yu, it seems that it is not your person His Royal Highness King Su." β
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, then frowned and said with some displeasure: "Are you testing this king?" β
Seeing this, Luo Ying's face turned straight, and he apologized: "Please forgive His Royal Highness King Su." β
Looking at Luo Ying, who was apologizing to him, Zhao Hongrun's heart-pounding emotions because of Luo Ying's words disappeared without a trace at once, because Luo Ying didn't want to defect to him at all, but just to test him.
"Do you still want to assist the East Palace?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "He has expelled you from the East Palace......
Hearing this, Luo Ying smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Since you are the king of people you choose, even if the future is bumpy, you have to finish this section while climbing." β¦β¦ This is the stubbornness of my generation of scholars. β
Zhao Hongrun was in awe, and looked at Luo Ying silently for a long time, and then said lightly: "East Palace...... You are no longer needed. β
"No!" Luo Ying shook his head and corrected: "Right now, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have a sharp increase in prestige in the government and the opposition, he has actually fallen into someone's trap...... Luo Ying once suspected His Royal Highness King Su, but it can be inferred from His Royal Highness King Su's attitude that Your Highness is not the one who set up this plan, so it is not difficult to guess which one is behind Zhou Yu......
Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said confidently: "King Yong's reputation! β
This guy ......
Zhao Hongrun looked at it quietly, and was surprised in his heart.
You know, he relied on the information from the green crows to learn that Zhou Yu was a secret chess prepared by King Yongwang Hongyu for two years, but this Luo Ying can see through this matter, which is not simple.
Of course, Zhao Hongrun was not ready to expose himself, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Zhou Yu, who is that?" β
Hearing this, Luo Ying looked at Zhao Hongrun with a smile.
Seeing the other party's smile, Zhao Hongrun secretly scolded himself for being confused: I don't know who Zhou Yu is, how did he know that Luo Ying had lost the weight of the East Palace and took the opportunity to recruit him?
However, Luo Ying did not say anything, but simply explained Zhou Yu's deeds to Zhao Hongrun, and finally saved face for Zhao Hongrun.
"Zhou Yu, I heard that he was the same as the one in the sixteenth year of the imperial examination of Hong De, and it is said that the article was not liked by the officials of the Ministry of Rites at that time, so his ranking was not high. β¦β¦ But the strange thing is that this person disappeared after the scientific examination, and it is said that he returned to his hometown to study the poetry and prepare for the next exam. β¦β¦ However, a while ago, Zhou Yu suddenly found the East Palace and offered such an amazing national policy, no matter how you look at it, I feel that this matter will not be simple. β
"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun blinked, pretending to be ignorant and asked, "Why?" β
"Because it's too coincidental." Luo Ying shook his head and said: "At that time, after King Su left Daliang, everyone in the Daliang Imperial Court knew that the battle between the East Palace and King Yong was bound to begin, but at this time, this Zhou Yu suddenly appeared and won the trust of the East Palace...... At that time, I was thinking that if this person was not a person from His Royal Highness King Su, then it must be a killing move that His Royal Highness King Yong had been preparing for a long time. β
Speaking of this, Luo Ying turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and said conclusively: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strategies for strengthening the country mentioned by Zhou Yu have drawbacks except for the Great Wei Wu Army, and if they are not operated well, there will be endless troubles. β¦β¦ It's a pity that the East Palace was stimulated by His Royal Highness King Su, and was too eager to get the power of an army, and after seeing Zhou Yu's first plan, he was ecstatic to adopt it, and presented Zhou Yu's plan to the court......"
Zhao Hongrun quietly listened to Luo Ying pour bitter water on him, confided in him that the East Palace did not listen to his advice, favored Zhou Yu and did not say anything, and actually accused him of not being jealous and virtuous, so Luo Ying moved out of the East Palace on his own.
ββ¦β¦ I was really angry, and Zhou Yu was obviously uneasy and kind, but the East Palace ...... Alas! Shaking her head, Luo Ying said with a wry smile.
"But even so, you still have to go back to the East Palace, right?" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little jealous.
Luo Ying didn't notice the jealousy in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and said with a straight face: "I will never let Zhou Yu succeed!" β¦β¦ He set up such a poisonous plan to harm the East Palace, but there was no way to reverse it and make King Yong suffer the consequences! β
Speaking of this, he realized that he had been confiding and complaining to Zhao Hongrun since Fang Cai, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, let His Royal Highness King Su listen to all kinds of complaints......
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and was about to speak, but when he saw Luo Ying standing up, he said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Su, for letting you pour out your grievances in your heart, and you have already cheered up." After that, he hesitated for a moment, and said with a bit of pleading: "Can His Royal Highness King Su put the lower back to the big beam, if not, I am afraid that the East Palace will ask King Yong and Zhou Yu to play with the applause." β
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, but looking at Luo Yao's eager gaze, he finally swallowed the words that were about to blurt out back into his stomach, clapped his hands to summon Duan Pei, and ordered: "Duan Pei, Mr. Luo...... Send back the girders. β
Duan Pei's face showed obvious doubts, probably wondering, wasn't this Luo Ying the one His Highness specially asked them to be captured from Daliang? Why do you want to send it back again?
However, since it was Zhao Hongrun's order, Duan Pei naturally did not dare to object: "Yes!" β
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Su!"
Luo Ying bowed deeply, with a look of gratitude.
Zhao Hongrun was depressed: Even a guy like Zhao Hongli could be assisted by such a loyal and outstanding strategist? And I'm a dignified king, but I can't recruit a person who can give advice?
Looking at Luo Ying's back as he left the study, Zhao Hongrun walked to the window and let out a long breath.
I don't know if there can be a talent comparable to Luo Ying in the world?
- At the same time, the royal capital Liang -
In the Hanlin Bureau, there was a young scribe who was holding a copy of an official document that had just been copied, and there was a little confusion in his eyes.
Zhou Yu ...... This person's plan is good, but there are troubles...... It always felt like something was wrong. β
Just when this person was in doubt, he suddenly heard a call from outside the door: "Brother He, it's time to go home." β
"Uh-oh."
The young scribe put the paperwork in his hand back into the distance, straightened his sleeves, and went to drink with his friends in the same official office, whom he had met on a daily basis.
This person is called He Xinxian.
ββAt the same time, the same royal capital Liangββ
In the hall on the first floor, in the hall on the first floor, there were many scribes waiting for the Oiran in the building to come up with questions, while talking about the recent events in the girder.
And among them, it talked about the fact that the prince of the East Palace attacked with a heavy fist and made Yongwang Hongyu completely fall into the upper hand.
However, when the scribes were enthusiastically mentioning that they wanted to defect to the East Palace, in the corner, a merry Confucian pouted his lips and said disdainfully in a drunken tone: "A bunch of fools. β
The scribes were furious, pointed at the man and scolded, "What are you talking about? β
In the verbal conflict, someone recognized the drunken Confucian scholar and laughed: "Who should I be, it turns out to be Mr. Wen who cheated in the examination room two years ago and was removed......"
Hearing this, the Confucian scholar known as Mr. Wen turned red, and said indignantly: "It's the officials, it's the bastards from the officials who hurt me!" They hated me for telling King Su, so they colluded with the officials of the Ministry of Rites to use the stigma of cheating in the examination room to trap me! β
"Yes...... yes," the scribes scoffed.
Mr. Wen's face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said secretly: "Okay, say I'm cheating...... Okay, next year's imperial examination, I'll cheat to show you! See how I send a bunch of straw bales to the top list! β
This person is called Onsaki!
- At the same time, in a small county near Quyang County, Shangdang County-
"County master, county master."
A young official carried a document to the study in the county office, panting and saying to a young county magistrate in the study who was sewing his torn clothes: "Master, this is an official document just sent by the imperial court. β
"Huh?"
The young county magistrate put down the clothes in his hand, stepped over to take the official document, opened it three times and two times, and read it.
After only a few glances, the young prefectural magistrate frowned.
"Master, what's the matter?" The young servant asked cautiously.
The young county magistrate smiled faintly and said casually: "It has nothing to do with my county." β¦β¦ The imperial court was ready to lease and sell the idle land in Shangdang, Hedong and other places to the domestic nobles, and asked the latter to form a private army to block the Korean army, for which the imperial court set a heavy bait. β
With that, the young county magistrate waved his hand and dismissed the officials, standing alone at the window with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Yu ...... Hum! Do you think it's seamless? β
The young magistrate pursed his lips and continued to mend his old clothes.
This person is called Kou Zheng!
- At the same time, Xingyang -
A scribe dressed as a scholar reading was staring at the notice posted by the local prefectural order, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Meson, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the policy that the imperial court has just enacted? β
At the sound of inquiry, his friend came to his side at some point and asked suspiciously.
Behind him, followed by dozens of Hu slaves.
"Hmm...... A little concerned. The scribe nodded, a look of confusion on his face.
Seeing this, his friend put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't think about it so much, we have made a lot of money again, we should find a place to celebrate." β
"Okay." The scribe smiled helplessly, but glanced at the notice before leaving.
This person is called a meson!
-- At the same time --
In the county office of Huangchi County, there is a young official who looks like a master bookkeeper, standing next to the county magistrate of the county, looking at the documents of the imperial court, with a different color on his face......
In Xiangling County, a young man who had just returned to his hometown to study poetry and was preparing to participate in the imperial examination again after three years turned his head to look out the window after hearing the noise outside the house, only to see that outside his humble house, a well-known local rich man had sold his property for some reason, and was ready to go to Shangdang......
Huayang ......
Shan's ......
Xu County......
Yanling ......
Shangshui ......
In the sixteenth year of Hongde, and the nineteenth year of the next Hongde, there are many evils! (To be continued.) )
