Chapter 284: Unanimous Externality

Wang Jing

Takefu

In Wangjing City, there are still soldiers coming and going, and inside the bamboo mansion, it is still brightly lit as usual.

It's just that through the window, I saw Zhu Qingyi sitting generously opposite her father Zhu Zongchen, and I knew that the one who visited Zhufu this night was definitely not the uncle who made her hate.

The maid of the bamboo family was very respectful to the old lady, and poured a full cup of fragrant tea for tonight's distinguished guest, then owed a debt, retreated to the corner of the house, and waited quietly.

And Zhu Zongchen, who was sitting at the top position, smiled and made a "please" gesture towards the tea cup in front of the next head,

"The virgin tea specially prepared for my father-in-law, let my father-in-law try it."

Grandpa Sun Yingying smiled, picked up the tea cup with his orchid fingers, gently handed it to his mouth and took a sip, and then squinted his eyes and shook his head, looking endless.

"I have long heard that this virgin tea in Lord Zhu's house is different from other teas, and it always has a strange aroma, and today it is a product of fruition, and the fragrance in the water seems to be like that amazing warm nephrite, even if it is in your arms."

Zhu Zongchen also laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart that this grandfather-in-law was originally a eunuch, and a sip of tea made him drink like a prodigal son who lingered in the flowers.

Of course, thinking about it, Zhu Zongchen still said very politely on the face: "It's rare, it's rare for my father-in-law to like it, this virgin tea in the house has come a lot this year, and I will send someone to send it to my father-in-law when the time comes." ”

"Beauty is beautiful."

Grandpa Sun slowly opened his eyes, "I just don't know if Lord Zhu and our family will have a chance to drink this tea in the future." ”

"What does my father-in-law mean?"

Zhu Zongchen didn't know if it was pretending, and with a panicked look, he bowed his hand to Gonggong Sun and said, "Please make it public." ”

Grandpa Sun didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Zhu Qingyi, who was sitting opposite,

He originally planned to glance at it and let the little girl avoid it, but he didn't expect this glance to be like it was stuck to the paste, and he couldn't take half a step away.

Grandpa Sun boasted that he was a child and followed King Yong in the shallow mansion, which he had also eaten and seen, what kind of national color and fragrance, he had seen it for a long time, but he was just a vulgar fan, but the one in front of him really made his shrewd pupils shrink for no reason,

Looking at the city, I'm afraid that's just it.

Father-in-law Sun almost exhausted the little strength in his whole body before he finally took his eyes off Zhu Qingyi's body, drove away the lingering and breathtaking figure in his mind, turned his head and praised Zhu Zongchen with a smile and said: "Lord Zhu is really a blessing, this is the little lady of your mansion?" ”

According to Gonggong Sun's understanding, at the age of Zhu Zongchen, isn't it difficult for a beautiful woman like Zhu Qingyi to be a little lady or a main house?

It's just that I didn't expect Zhu Zongchen to laugh twice dryly, and explained: "My father-in-law misunderstood, this is the little girl Zhu Qingyi, the little girl likes to study since she was a child, and she is also quite insightful about the current situation and political affairs, so many times I will be a guest, and I will take the little girl to see for a long time." ”

"Oh?"

Grandpa Sun's two pairs of eyes seemed to have been turned by Zhu Qingyi, and without saying a word, they sucked up again, "My lord, has this little girl ever been married?" ”

Maybe Zhu Qingyi's plump and tight delicate body is too slender, Rao is a water-blue floor-length skirt covers her round and jade legs, and she can't cover her ivory-white ankles.

Coupled with the beautiful face held on the swan's neck, the whole person looks at the eyes of Grandpa Sun, where is still a delicate beauty, it is clearly the world's most skilled craftsman, with the longest time, the best jade, carefully carved into the most perfect work of art.

"The little girl is not married, but she is engaged."

Not only was Zhu Qingyi a little hairy by the unscrupulous and wanton aggression of this grandfather-in-law, but even Zhu Zongchen on the side was also displeased.

How can there be such a staring at other people's daughters, let alone a eunuch.

Zhu Zongchen brought the topic back to the right path and asked, "Gonggong Sun hasn't been instructed yet, why did he say this just now?" ”

"Oh, yes, I was almost interrupted by Take-sama just now, I wanted to tell the adults......"

Zhu Zongchen was depressed when he heard this, this guy obviously saw that he was distracted, but he beat a rake to blame himself for coming up, if it weren't for the next many things, he would have to rely on this eunuch's means to change his previous temper, and he would have sent someone to drive him out.

“...... In the imperial court, the official department is still the book of Zhu Yanhai and the book of the bamboo book, but he is the cousin of the adult's family? Grandpa Sun quickly regained his gloomy appearance and asked.

Zhu Zongchen nodded and replied: "That's right, it is my late elder brother in the past, and he is also the brother of my own mother's mother. Zhu Shangshu has always taken good care of our family, and I don't hide it from my father-in-law, Zhu's black yarn is still indispensable to Zhu Shangshu's support. ”

"Oh?"

Grandpa Sun chuckled, raised his eyebrows at Zhu Zongchen and said, "It seems that Lord Zhu still trusts your relative, but how can the news that the miscellaneous family knows be a little different from you?" ”

"What does my father-in-law mean?" Zhu Zongchen's eyebrows frowned slightly,

"A few days ago, Prince Yong threw me an excerpt and asked me to approve it at my discretion, and the content of the excerpt is that the upper song said that the redundant official phenomenon in the Great Xia Dynasty is serious, and it is recommended that the old and incompetent should all be sent to other provinces or directly abolished, and a list of recommended candidates is attached to the back, in the column of the Ministry of Officials, the first one is the name of your Lord Zhu!"

"Why is that?!"

After hearing this, Zhu Zongchen stood up with a "ho", and arched his hands in the direction of the Forbidden City and said urgently: "My loyalty to Lord Yong is Zhao Sun and Moon, and I have never neglected the affairs of the court at all, why did I put it in the ranks of redundant officials?" ”

Zhu Qingyi, who was on the side, rolled his eyes slightly, and interjected: "Yes, Grandpa Sun, you don't know that my father is in Sichuan, and he has passed the official examination every year, so how can it be said that he is incompetent?" ”

Gonggong Sun looked at the father and daughter who looked anxious, and he was happy in his heart, but he pressed his hand towards them, and then pulled Zhu Zongchen's sleeve and motioned him to sit down.

"Look at Lord Zhu, don't worry, the reason why this Yongwang Ye was thrown to the miscellaneous family is that he doesn't agree with this matter very much, so he let the miscellaneous family deal with it at his discretion. Don't care whether the redundant officials are redundant or not, it's just a matter of the miscellaneous family crossing out, but what the miscellaneous family wants to tell you is, do you know who made this excerpt? ”

"Is it ......?" Zhu Zongchen frowned and looked at Grandpa Sun,

"That's right, it's a good relative of Lord Zhu, the official Shangshu Zhu Yanhai!"

"Uncle?"

Although Zhu Qingyi's unbelievable appearance is exaggerated, it is indeed as true as Zhu Zongchen, and she really didn't expect that Zhu Yanhai would drive the imperial concubines out of Beijing in such a radical way after they left.

Grandpa Sun was very satisfied with the surprised look of their father and daughter, picked up the virgin tea in front of him, took two sips greedily, and then nodded at the two of them and said, "If you think about it, you two are a family, but you are in the same department. At this time, it is natural that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and it is better for him to be alone in the ministry than to keep you here.

I'm afraid that the two of you don't know yet, as far as I know, Zhu Shangshu went to Yong Wangye to blow the wind in your Zhu Lord's ears, this is not the first time, I'm afraid you have already been a thorn in the flesh. ”

Zhu Zongchen felt that the reason given to him by Sun Gonggong was really too far-fetched.

First of all, Zhu Yanhai can get him from Sichuan, he must have the mentality of letting Zhu Zongchen help him, after all, no matter how anything happened in the family before, at least the two people in the officialdom are a family that is unanimous to the outside world, and even if Chongzheng is not a sudden death, and the competition for the throne of King Yongde is only a matter of three or five years, how can he go to great lengths to get himself here, and then he is afraid that he will fight for power as if he did not expect the sudden change in the situation, and finally kick himself back This kind of useless work?

Again, the ministry is now Zhu Yanhai as a scholar, and the relationship with King Yong is also closer to Zhu Yanhai, how can it be involved in saying that it is to guard against becoming bigger? If you want to be alone, he is now there, and it makes no sense to defend himself!

But although Zhu Zongchen didn't believe Sun Gonggong's reason for believing Hu Qin, he still had to believe that the excerpt he said was Zhu Yanhai's matter, this kind of thing basically Sun Gonggong didn't need to lie, and it was not a secret decree.

So why is that? Why did Zhu Yanhai make such a contradictory decision to get himself out of Wang Jing?

Zhu Zongchen was a little puzzled.

"That'...... According to my father-in-law, what should I do next? Zhu Zongchen hid this stubble in his heart, and turned to ask Grandpa Sun,

Gonggong Sun was sharp, his right hand turned into a palm, and he made a downward cutting motion towards Zhu Zongchen, and said in a dark voice: "The matter has come to this, what else can Lord Zhu plan to do?" Of course, it's the first strike! ”

Zhu Zongchen didn't answer immediately, but glanced at his daughter without a trace,

"Grandpa Sun is here this time, not just to remind him of this matter, right?"

Of course Grandpa Sun is not so kind, he is not related to Zhu Zongchen, why should he help him for no reason?

He smiled and said, "There are buying and selling, that's called fairness, just buying or not selling, that's not a bribe." ”

"Grandpa Sun sold us a Zhu Yanhai, presumably planning to buy a Li Jin from his father, right?" Zhu Qingyi interjected in response to Grandpa Sun's pretentious appearance.

"Oh, Take-sama! Your daughter is better than you! ”

While praising Zhu Qingyi, Grandpa Sun looked at the latter's body twice with his slippery eyes, then nodded and continued: "What the girl said is right, it is for Li Jin's business." ”

When Father-in-law Sun came, Zhu Qingyi had already guessed seven or eight when he was discussing with his father, and asked in a general manner: "Father-in-law Sun, Li Jin is the old man of the former emperor, and now he is quite useful by King Yong's side, and if he wants to bring him down, is it possible that Father-in-law is planning to do something on the imperial concubine?" ”

"That's right."

Gonggong Sun nodded, "The eunuch who holds the seal of the eunuch and loses the Southern Army Talisman without authorization, this matter is too big to say, and it is not an exaggeration to cut off his head." However, with Li Jin's means, this will definitely not happen, and it is not difficult for him to find a few scapegoats to cover the bag. So, I need someone to come out and point the finger at him. ”

When Zhu Zongchen heard this, he pretended to be puzzled and said: "The old man heard that now that Zheng Jingyun and the guards on duty that day are now being held in the prison of the Northern Army, shouldn't my father-in-law go to the new commander Liu Biao for this kind of thing?" ”

Gonggong Sun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Zongchen, "That's why I just found Lord Zhu here." ”

"How can my father-in-law see that the old man can walk the path of Liu Biao?"

"Hey, hey, hey~"

Gonggong Sun smiled, with an expression that knew everything in his chest, and said to Zhu Qingyi: "Why should Lord Zhu hide it, if the relationship is bad, can the girl talk to that Liu Biao in the tavern in the north of the city for a whole hour?" ”

These words really shocked Zhu Qingyi's heart,

Not only her, but even Zhu Zongchen, who has always sat firmly in the Diaoyutai, panicked!

He knows his daughter's always cautious style, and it must be the most difficult time to be noticed when he can meet Liu Biao, but he didn't expect that this grandfather Sun was just a person from the shallow mansion before, and he was so deaf and clear-sighted in Beijing.

Or is he already eyeing himself for a long time? So....... What else does he know?

Gonggong Sun seemed to see the surprise of Zhu Zongchen's father and daughter, smiled lightly without a trace on his face, and said with some comfort: "Don't worry, Lord Zhu, there are some things that the miscellaneous family knows, you know and I know." ”

How does Zhu Zongchen look at it, how can he feel that Sun Gonggong's smile has a bit of a cruel taste in it,

He touched his nose with his hand, pretending to be embarrassed as if he had been knocked into a secret: "Oh, hehe, I did have a few encounters with General Liu before, and maybe the little girl happened to catch up with each other that day." ”

Gonggong Sun obviously didn't believe his far-fetched explanation, but what he cared about was not how Zhu Zongchen and Liu Biao met.

"So....... What does Take-sama mean? ”

"Everything is up to Grandpa Sun's arrangement."

Zhu Zongchen stood up, bowed deeply towards Grandpa Sun, and when he raised his head again, his eyes already had the same ruthlessness as Grandpa Sun......
