Chapter 053: Yang Guozhong gains power

Zhang Xuan saw Mrs. Zheng's courtesy and cordial greeting, smiled, and saluted again, "Thank you, Mrs." ”

Mrs. Zheng frowned unhappily and said, "Xuan'er, you are the aunt of the Cui family, the son-in-law of the old body, and the marriage between you and Ying'er is decided by the emperor and Cui Zhang...... In the future, you will have to come and go often, and don't be angry in this title. ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, hesitated, and said loudly, "Yes, mother-in-law." ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled heartily and gave Zhang Xuan a look.

Zhang Xuan was helpless, so he had to step forward again and bow to Cui Ju, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”

Cui Ju smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Get up, don't be polite." Madam, you and Huan'er Jin'er will talk to Xuan'er for a while, and I'll come as soon as I go to the Li Mansion. ”

Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows. The main purpose of his trip to Cui's house was to prevent the Cui family's father and son from going to Li Linfu's house to worship.

"Father-in-law, are you here to worship Li Linfu?" Zhang Xuan asked softly.

"Yes, yes. Although Li Linfu is notorious, the dead are the greatest. The emperor's edict was solemnly mourned, and the old man couldn't help but go for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty in the past. Besides, Chen Xiang is the old man's mentor, and since Chen Xiang is gone, the old man can't help but follow......" Cui Ju waved his hand, "You wait for a while, and the old man will come when he goes." ”

"Father-in-law, please forgive my son-in-law for saying bluntly, I can't go to the Li Mansion this time." Zhang Xuan said indifferently.

Cui Ju was stunned for a moment, but he stared at Zhang Xuan patiently, and said in a deep voice, "Why is this?" In any case, Li Linfu is dead, and it is normal for people to pay respects to the deceased......"

If it was Zhang Xuan before, or if Zhang Xuan did not show his amazing talent and sharp judgment beyond ordinary people, Cui Ju would definitely not be patient to listen to Zhang Xuan's explanation. But now, Cui Ju subconsciously wants to hear what Zhang Xuan has to say.

At this point, many people actually understand: the reason why Zhang Xuan dared to abuse Li Linfu in public was because he saw that Li Linfu's life was short, and secondly, because he had an accurate understanding of the emperor's thoughts.

"I don't know what my father-in-law thinks, after Li Linfu, who will take his place and pay homage to the prime minister?" Zhang Xuan arched his hand and smiled.

Cui Ju said without thinking, "Of course it's Yang Guozhong, there is no doubt about it." It has not been a day since the emperor supported Yang Guozhong, and now that Li Linfu is dead, it is natural for Yang Guozhong to worship him. ”

"Since this is the case, then does the father-in-law think that with Yang Guozhong's temperament, he will let go of the Li family?" Although Zhang Xuan's voice was not loud, it reached Cui Ju's ears like thunder, which shocked him.

He looked at Zhang Xuan suspiciously, and said in a deep voice for a long time, "People hate to die, even if there is a great grievance, Yang Guozhong will not be so desperate, right?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Father-in-law, if Zhang Xuan is not mistaken, at most tomorrow morning, or even tonight, the emperor will appoint Yang Guozhong as the prime minister." And when Yang Guozhong ascended to the stage, the first thing he did was to take the Li family. ”

"Take the Li family to open the knife, one is to kill chickens and monkeys, and the other is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to eliminate the trouble for the Yang family. Yang Guozhong is more ruthless than Li Linfu, and his father-in-law should know better than his son-in-law. ”

"It's not just the Li family...... The forces of the DPRK and China will soon be reshuffled, and Li Linfu and his party will inevitably be expelled from the DPRK by Yang Guozhong, and this time will not drag on for too long. ”

Cui Ju frowned and muttered, "Li Linfu was once a Zaifu, one person was above ten million people, and he served the emperor for many years. How could the emperor sit back and watch Yang Guozhong wantonly frame his children's descendants? ”

Seeing Cui Ju talking about Li Longji, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile in his heart. Xindao: Li Longji's heart is the most cold, and for him, nothing is more important than the stability of his imperial power. Will he pity Li Linfu? How can it be.

But Zhang Xuan couldn't say this kind of thing, so he had to smile and say, "Father-in-law, in the past, Li Linfu wantonly framed the minister, and there were not a few people who died in the broken family...... Has the emperor ever stopped him? In today's situation, Yang Guozhong is in power, just like Li Linfu back then...... The son-in-law said a bold word, although Li Linfu died, it was really unpredictable whether he could get a good death. ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, Cui Ju gasped. And the two brothers Cui Jin and Cui Huan, who were standing on the side, had a big change in their faces. After all, Zhang Xuan's words are too amazing.

"That's secondary. What's more, his father-in-law is Chen Xiang's protégé, and after Yang Guozhong paid homage to the prime minister, Chen Xiang's life was not easy...... Today's plan is the best way to protect oneself. Father-in-law must remember not to follow Chen Xiang as before, and even do not hesitate to show the attitude of the Cui family when necessary. ”

"Only in this way can we avoid the Cui family being implicated and becoming the target of Yang Guozhong's suppression."

"The Cui family is a big family, if Mingzhe protects himself, no matter how powerful Yang Guozhong is, he will definitely not come to provoke. All these are the heartfelt words of the son-in-law, and I hope that the father-in-law will think twice before acting. ”

Zhang Xuan bowed and said loudly.

Cui Ju's eyes flickered, his expression changed, and he sighed and nodded after a long time, "What Xuan'er said is reasonable." The old man is fascinated, but you can see it clearly. In this way, the old man understood......"

"Someone, a feast." Cui Ju waved his hand, "Don't worry about these troubles-Huan'er, quickly send someone to Yuzhenguan to pick up Ying'er back." ”

……

……

Sure enough, as Zhang Xuan said, that night, Li Longji urgently convened the courtiers to meet in Xingqing Palace, and in order to immediately stabilize the situation, he ordered Yang Guozhong to be promoted to the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the third rank of the Tongzhongshu Sect, replacing Li Linfu as the right minister.

For a time, the Yang family gained power, and Yang Guozhong's momentum rose to an extreme.

After receiving the emperor's instructions and the congratulations of the civil and military officials in the palace, Yang Guo returned to his mansion with satisfaction. At this time, all the Yang family members in Beijing had already gathered in Yang Guozhong's mansion and set up a banquet to celebrate Yang Guozhong.

But only Mrs. Qiuguo's mother and son are missing.

Yang Guozhong sat on the main seat, looked left and right, and asked Mrs. Han and Mrs. Qin Guo awe-inspiringly, "Where are the eldest sister, the eighth sister, and the third sister?" ”

Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "I haven't seen this." Maybe I didn't get the news of the third brother's visit, right? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo said lightly with a smile on the side, "The third sister has been in a bad mood recently, and she likes to drink and feast the most in the past, but the slave family has asked her a few times, and she is too lazy to go out." Guarding her unsuccessful little son in the house all day long, I don't know what to do. ”

"In any case, the third brother pays homage to the prime minister, this is a great joy for our Yang family. The slave family sent someone to the third sister's house to invite her over. Seeing that Mrs. Qin Guo was speaking in a weird manner, for fear that it would cause Yang Guozhong's "misunderstanding", Mrs. Han interjected with a smile.

"That's it. The eldest sister, the third sister has been ill recently, so let her recuperate in the house with peace of mind...... It's all your own family, why bother to see the outside world like this? Yang Guozhong waved his hand, but he pretended to smile heartily, and raised his glass to invite him to drink, "Everyone, drink this glass of wine, and Guozhong has a few words to say." Please. ”

________ sweat, it's really slow, only two shifts a day. Please understand, at the end of the year, I am riddled with trivial matters, and I regret opening the book at the end of the year, but Lao Yu would rather ensure quality than sacrifice quality and pursue speed excessively. I don't have a manuscript saved, I basically write and send it every day, maybe I can save some manuscripts after next week. Thank you all for your support.
