Chapter Eighty-Eight: Beauty's Scheming
"Master."
"Hmm." Wu Guang nodded, and saw some silk cloth in the foyer. His brow furrowed, "What's going on?" ”
The servant hurriedly stepped forward and explained tremblingly, "This is... Delivered by a guest. ”
"What guest?" Wu Guang's tone was a little unkind.
"It's... It's a guest who has come to ask for a kiss. ”
"Nonsense! Where are the people? ”
"I've been sent away by my wife, saying that I will wait for you to come back and make a decision."
"Hmm." Wu Guang nodded, fortunately, Mrs. didn't dare to make decisions about this kind of thing, otherwise it would not end well, it would be better than not being able to agree to others and then withdraw from the marriage. Wu Guang said, and walked to the inner courtyard.
"Master, this gift ......"
"Throw it away!"
Wu Guang is very concerned about Meng Yao's marriage, in his eyes, although he has other children, but only Meng Yao can bring him happiness in his old age, so he must let Meng Yao marry the most promising man, so as to ensure the glory of the rest of his life. To say that in this Handan City, the promising ones who are similar to Meng Yao's grade are none other than Pang Xuan, the child of the Pang Cong family, Lian Po, the child of the Lian Wu family, and Zhao Cheng's grandson is also good, Le Yi's son Le Jian is too young, and Zhao Bao and Fei Yi have a lot of criticism about themselves, and they are definitely unwilling to marry themselves.
However, although Pang Xuan is a good child, his father is also a celebrity in front of Zhao Yong, but he is not an authentic Zhao person after all, this King of Zhao trusts him, and the next King of Zhao may also trust him, with Wu Guang's experience, it is rare for an outsider like this to take root in Zhao State. Of course, Lian Po also has this concern, in order to exclude the two of them, it seems that only Zhao Cheng's grandson can choose.
Speaking of Zhao Cheng, Wu Guang was also a little uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Cheng's dissatisfaction with Zhao Yong when he was discussing the new deal last year.
Yes, Zhao Yong's new policy seems to have strengthened the rights of the four secretaries including him, and even said that it is just a repositioning of their previous work, but fundamentally, it deprives the four of them of their rights. Before the new policy, each of the four people was in charge of a part of government affairs, and they were not subordinate to each other, and they could participate in the decision-making of major affairs, and even had the right to mobilize troops and horses in case of emergency.
However, after the New Deal, the four-person domination of the ministry was broken, which also made it impossible for them to directly interfere in the work of each department. Of course, it does not mean that the four of them are responsible for all government affairs, and they still have a responsible direction, for example, they are still in charge of the work of the national captain, but in the case of Zhao Yong's authorization, they cannot affect the management of the work of the national captain, that is, they cannot exceed their authority. As for the affairs of Zhao Yong, Wu Guang can put forward his opinions and report to Zhao Yong. This is a world away from before.
Among the four, Zhao Bao and Fei Yi can be regarded as the most desireless, one is the old Long Zhong and doesn't want to do any more tossing, and the other is Zhao Yong's teacher, so he naturally won't embarrass his students, not to mention that Fei Yi also supports it. Himself, after Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, he took military power very seriously, his own Sima is dispensable, his status has not been high, and the most frustrated person is probably Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng's frustration was not only because Zhao Yong deprived him of his management of financial power, but because the position of Zongzheng set up touched Zhao Cheng's lifeblood. Everyone can see that Zhao Cheng is a mediator in Zhao Yong's heart to reconcile the relationship with the clan, and Zhao Cheng also relies on this, plays a pivotal role in front of Zhao Yong, and is deeply respected by the clan.
And Zhao Yong made a move to draw salary, and directly set up a separate ministry to be responsible for the clan problem, and the first Zongzheng was not his own person, how did this make Zhao Cheng swallow this breath. I argued with Zhao Yong several times openly and secretly, and those clans in Handan also made trouble several times. It gave Zhao Yong a headache, and he even ran to Longtai to cry to Zhao Yong many times. Zhao Yong scolded him several times, reprimanded him for his incompetence, and asked him to reflect on it. At this time, Zhao Agency's reinforcements, that is, his father Zhao Ji, drove from Jinyang to Handan despite his frail health and illness to give Zhao Department guidance.
Zhao Ji is worthy of being an old man, and the matter is seen thoroughly, he asked Zhao Yong to Zhao Yong in the name of "clearing the righteousness of the clan", asked for the right to check, and reported to Zhao Yong for the suppression of the side branches in the Handan clan, and the forcible robbery of the people reported to Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong was also very cooperative, and after punishing these clans according to the "Zhao Law", they were all sent to Tuntian in northern Xinjiang, and their property was recovered. Zhao Ji's fame immediately rose, it was too common for the clan to suppress side branches and forcibly seize the throne, Zhao Ji, the old fox, took advantage of Zhao Yong's prestige to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and sure enough, these clans recognized the reality and immediately became much more honest.
And these things should have been Zhao Chenglai's responsibility, but Zhao Cheng was angry with Zhao Yong for setting himself up, saying that he was sick at home, because he wanted to help these people, and he couldn't do anything. can only let Zhao Department take advantage of the loophole. But soon, Zhao Yong came to visit him again, saying that "he can't do without his uncle's teachings", "Zhao is still young and a little reckless", and the position of "patriarch" still has to be taken care of by his uncle. But for this specific matter, let the young man Zhao go and toss.
Zhao Cheng failed to show his ability because of Zhao Agency's behavior of killing chickens and monkeys, and he had already let his prestige be discredited, Zhao Yong came to visit him this time, which can be regarded as earning enough face, the most important thing is that although the patriarch is no longer responsible for specific affairs, but if Zhao Department really does something too much, he can still speak, and he will work normally. And Zhao also began to clamp his tail and honestly deal with the affairs of the clan.
Wu Guang sees Zhao Yong's scheming methods very clearly, and admires him very much, this young man plays with balancing skills, and he is also quite skilled, and when he is not in power, it is completely two performances. It is precisely because of this that he knows that Zhao Yong will never agree to marry Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Cheng must know this, and he has never expressed this meaning.
In this way, Meng Yao's marriage has become a major event in Wu Guang's heart. Seeing that he was gradually about to withdraw from the core of power, and a large group of people below were waiting to sit in his position, Wu Guang became more and more anxious.
"Husband." Mrs. Wu saw Wu Guang enter the house, her face was full of sadness, and she probably knew what Wu Guang was worried about, so she didn't dare to make a sound, and honestly watched Wu Guang return to his position and sit down.
"Who is Langjun here today?"
"It's the son of the general Zhao Zhuang's family." Madame said cautiously.
Wu Guang sneered, "He Zhao Zhuang is also a martial artist, so he really can't see through this political situation." ”
Madame cautiously asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Our family's Meng Yao's marriage must not be on the side of those people in the clan, otherwise, not to mention that the king does not allow it, even if he agrees, I am afraid it will cause death."
When Mrs. Wu heard that a marriage would cause death, her body trembled like chaff, "This... If this Meng Yao doesn't marry now, won't he become an old and yellow woman, and who else is willing to marry. This... Husband doesn't mean to be joking, right? ”
"Jokes? I'm afraid I'm not serious? Wu Guang sighed, "If it weren't for the old man's eyes, the king would definitely not let the old man and a military general become in-laws, let alone a clan." Hehe, the matter of Jinyang is not far away, and the king attaches great importance to military power, in a certain opinion, presumably we Meng Yao can only do the matter of getting married. ”
When Mrs. Wu heard this, her heart was a little sour. Who has a child and doesn't want to be able to have food and clothing without worry? As for talking about himself, it's just an afterword. Meng Yao was become the first beauty in Zhao by outsiders, and the two naturally hoped that she could have a good home, but now Wu Guang's sentence of "marrying" is doomed to a bumpy fate in the second half of Meng Yao's life.
Just when the two of them were sighing, they heard the sound of footsteps outside the door eagerly, and the two looked up and saw that it was their servant.
"What's so alarming?" Wu Guang was already a little angry.
"Back to the master, there is a palace man outside the door, saying that the queen has an order to see the eldest lady."
"What? Queen? ”
Meng Yao followed Mrs. Wu into the main hall, only to see that in the main hall, the pearls and jade were exquisite, the palace was full of people, and the incense was overflowing, which was very sultry. Unconsciously, she was a little drunk, this feeling of the stars holding the moon is very wonderful. However, when he thought about it, before remembering it, Wu Guang's earnest teachings to him retracted his expression again, and he didn't dare to look more, and followed Mrs. Wu in.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, I'm afraid Han Qian wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a beauty in Zhao Guo. Not to mention the delicate skin, like a newborn baby, not to mention the shape of the body, like a fairy from the sky, with its delicate facial features and glowing eyes, it is enough to make this woman intoxicated.
"Sure enough, she is the first beauty in Zhao Kingdom." She secretly felt in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in her heart, jealous that the other party was still in her prime, and she could be regarded as a broken flower and a willow. What's more, in the past few years, because of physical problems, except for one Zhao Zhang, there is nothing to do with Zhao Yong, and even his sister Han Chan is pregnant with a second child. However, even so, Zhao Yong still respects and loves himself, can be regarded as a respectful guest, and often relieves loneliness for himself. But all this can't bring Han Qian a sense of security. She had to find a helper for herself, for the sake of the upcoming princess of Chu State.
Han Chan'er said about Meng Yao just now, which made her suddenly have an idea in her heart, maybe Meng Yao is her best helper, the helper who is enough to defeat the princess of Chu State. As long as Meng Yao can win Zhao Yong's heart, she, the queen, will have the hole card to fight against the princess of Chu State. And Meng Yao had to rely on himself in order to live in the harem.
Woman, your scheming is always used to embarrass another woman, but the purpose is for the sake of a man you love.
I caught a cold when I came back from a business trip, and I was helpless......
