Feng Wuhou listened to his subordinates' secret reports with interest, and his face showed an inscrutable look.
"So, Min Zhiyuan did go to the mansion of the seventh brother of this king? He is quite good at drilling, even those who are so cautious as Lao Qi are no exception. Having said that, he didn't express any anger, which made Zhou Yan, who was standing on the side, very puzzled.
"Your Royal Highness, Min Zhiyuan has been ignoring your cultivation in vain, and he actually went to the Qinjun Palace's mansion at such a time, his heart can be punished!" Zhou Yan's expression was a little disapproving, "If this matter spreads, those who have always been loyal to His Highness will probably be shaken, and at least he should be severely reprimanded for this kind of behind-the-scenes deed!" β
"Do you really think it works?" Feng Wuhou put away the lazy expression on his face, and said, "Not to mention that there are not many magistrates of this king's rank like Min Zhiyuan, just because of his visit to Lao Qi, it is polite at most, what excuse does this king use to interfere?" Or do you think when does this king have the capital to compete with the Xiao family? β
Zhou Yan was speechless for a moment, it was indeed not a good way to damage his morale in order to take a breath. Feng Wuhou has always been irritable and irritable, but there is such a deep scheming hidden behind it, who would believe it? "It's a subordinate who has not thought it through." Zhou Yan lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "But His Royal Highness the Seventh chose to contact Min Zhiyuan at such a time, and his subordinates had to doubt his intentions. With his gradually expanding power in recent years and the emperor's trust, it is enough to make him invincible in the DPRK, so why be so aggressive? β
Feng Wuhou shook his head and took a sip of tea comfortably, "Respectfully." There are few people in the entire court who can understand Lao Qi's actions, so you don't have to think about it. Besides, don't you know Min Zhiyuan's temperament? As long as someone else has thrown a bait. He's always going to take the bait. Although the position of Shandong political envoy is not very important, after all, there is a lot of oil and water. He won't give up easily, so he sells it everywhere. But this person really has to keep an eye on it, although he started by this king, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be tempted by others. But there is no need to be too nervous at the moment, the battle for succession has not yet settled. Min Zhiyuan should know how to decide, after all, with this king, if things are successful, he will not be able to run away from the status of an auxiliary minister in the future. β
A few words that can be said to be a big rebellion scared Zhou Yan's face like earth, but fortunately, there was no one around, and the subordinate who had just reported the incident had already retreated. "Your Royal Highness, although it is in the palace, you still have to be careful, if such words reach the ears of the emperor, it will be a taboo." Zhou Yan didn't want to ruin his long-standing plan because of a few words.
"Jingzhi is still so cautious. Rest assured, this king is measured. "The wind did not wait for his head and did not return to the tunnel, and his eyes flashed with ambition." In the eyes of his father, the saying that the strong are respected is also an iron law, otherwise he could have immediately canonized the Xiao family as the queen, so that he could easily establish the old eleven as the prince. The reason why Xiao Shiquan was allowed to take the sixth palace but did not seal it. It is with the princes who are already old in mind. The heroes compete for the deer, the winner is king, and those who can survive in the end may be able to fight hard and without regrets. It's a pity, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, hahahaha! β
Feng Wuhou's sudden laughter made Zhou Yan feel cold in his heart, once the princes were defeated, the best outcome would be to take away the title and put them under house arrest for life, and even worse, it would be clear to them neatly. Since the dynasty has been passed down to the present, this practice of the law of the jungle has never changed.
And what about the lackeys behind their masters, once they succeeded, even if the auxiliary master ascended the throne, it may not end well, in case the master fails, then they will only lose their lives, and if they are not good, they may end up in the land of raiding the family and destroying the clan.
At the same time, another person who should also be classified as a person who died is still alive and well, although his appearance is very different from back then, but Huo Shuqi is more at ease than when he was on an errand beside the fifth prince Feng Wuzhao. The supernatural mother easily found another errand for him, and the one who served him was Zhang Shuming, an upstart in the court. Through the continuous operation of his father Zhang Yandi's protΓ©gΓ© disciples and father-in-law Tang Zengyuan, this Tanhualang was promoted several levels in just a few years, and was promoted from the cabinet to the deputy envoy of the general political envoy of the fourth grade, and the future is absolutely limitless, who would have thought that this upstart who was the envy of the famous sons of the capital was just a poor student a few years ago?
"Master, there was a letter from the old lady just now, and I heard that this time I can seek the position of the provincial envoy." Huo Shuqi had already changed his surname, but he was just an insignificant house slave in Prince Sheng's mansion at the beginning, who would seriously search for it, so Hai Yuwen had already withdrawn. He entered the Zhang Mansion with a name named Du Bin, and soon relied on his years of experience and skills in the palace, and was soon reused, Zhang Shuming only inspected him for a month, and he directly appointed him to be in charge, and even handed over a lot of confidential matters to him to do.
"Du Bin, does anyone else know about this?" Although Zhang Shuming was greatly moved, out of caution, he still couldn't
Don't ask any more questions, "Does the old lady have any other instructions?" β
Du Bin stood with his hands down and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the master, no one else knows about this matter except for the slaves." The old lady just told the old man to be careful, not to let those greedy people grasp the handle. This time, it seems that the imperial court is going to transfer the official positions of many magistrates, and the name of the lord is mixed in it, so it should not cause any changes. β
"That's for the best." Zhang Shuming nodded calmly, the position he has been able to fight for in just a few years is nothing more than the deep-rooted connections of the Zhang family and the Tang family and his flexible wrists. For the sake of the future, what is a surname, what is a fiancΓ©e, just that he now has a four-grade official position and a beautiful and talented wife, which is beyond the reach of an ordinary Tanhua in his life. I am still young, and I still have a long way to go as an official!
"Besides, sir, I heard from the maid in the inner courtyard that my wife has been sullen recently, and she seems to be not in good health, do you want to hire a doctor?" Du Bin asked cautiously, but his eyes glanced at his master's face, as if he wanted to be sure of something.
Sure enough, a trace of unhappiness flashed across Zhang Shuming's face, and his tone became a lot tougher. "How can this be? It's just nonsense! Du Bin, you should go and check carefully, which girl and servant woman dare to chew the root of her tongue behind her back, if you find out and take a heavy responsibility for thirty, you will be thrown out immediately! The master's affairs also dare to spread rumors, my Zhang family has strict family laws, how can I tolerate such a slave who doesn't know what to do! Zhang Shuming said righteously and strictly, as if he was born to grow up in this famous family.
"The minion has written it down, and he must check it carefully, and he will never let go of these rumors." Du Bin nodded in understanding, then bowed and retreated.
Zhang Shuming showed a slight sneer, others couldn't see the true face of this manager, how could he not understand the mystery? has been the son-in-law of the Tang family for several years, he can be regarded as understanding his mother-in-law's skills, whether it is the servants in the house or Tang Zengyuan himself, he is just a plaything kneaded in her hands, and he is in vain about his wife who is afraid of his mother? Du Bin, just by looking at this surname, she can perceive the warning meaning, but she can rest assured that before she has established enough power, she will definitely be a competent and qualified chess piece.
Du Shi stood indifferently in the room, and listened to Du Bin's return expressionlessly, as if it was not his own daughter who was talking about it. "Well, I know, Du Bin, Zhang Shuming, you have to keep an eye on it a little more. This person is too ambitious, and if he doesn't control it well, he can easily hurt his own people. Years of deliberate thinking to find such a person who meets all the conditions, can't just be so bad. As for Xiao Rou, you just do what he says, and you don't need to be pitiful. It's a dereliction of duty for her not to take care of her husband, what's the matter with crying all day long, have you learned all those piano, chess, and paintings in vain? β
Du Bin didn't seem to care about the words of the lady accusing his hostess, and seemed to remember something after bowing his head and answering yes. "My lord has been back home late these days, and every time he comes back with a tired face, and when I inquire, he said it was a social. I wondered if my wife couldn't suppress him, so he went out to look for wild food? β
Du's face suddenly turned ugly, and he got up and paced a few steps before turning his head and saying:
"It seems that I want to have a good talk with Xiaorou, it is enough for another girl to marry a talented and good-looking Langjun, but she still picks and chooses other people's bad character, and she doesn't want to think about what she was obsessed with at the beginning. If you really can't do it, you can only pick two sensible people to serve in the past, but Zhang Shuming is already a fourth-grade official, and those who don't have two intercourse are not in a proper manner. β
Du Bin didn't interject this time, although he secretly had relatives, he had already learned from his mother that Du had always been a human being, so he had been keeping silent, reporting more and saying less, but obviously Du didn't plan to let him pass so easily this time.
"Du Bin, I didn't want you to follow Zhang Shuming to be a simple eye, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the trouble to arrange your identity." Du Shi took a few steps closer and glanced at the young man with his head bowed meaningfully, "You are still young, so naturally you don't want to mess around like this for the rest of your life?" If you can make Zhang Shuming look at it differently, maybe he can go further. Du Shi continued to bewitch, not noticing that the person he was talking to had clenched his fists.
"Thank you, Madame, for reminding me." Du Bin replied respectfully, but his tone did not change, "I will definitely do my best to make Madame's long-cherished wish come true." He lowered his head, "All in all, in order to achieve what everyone has always wanted to achieve, even the most humble things, I will do my best." β
There was a strange atmosphere in the room, neither Du Shi nor Du Bin said a word, and the two of them tacitly sank into the memories of the past. For those who are obsessed with intrigue, it is common for them to draw plans for the future from the lessons of the past over and over again, so they are not aware of the passage of time.
