Chapter 168: After the Zhu Clan
Huan Wen is currently in Ochre, although his brothers and heirs are not here, but most of his staff are stationed here, such as Xi Chao, Wang Xun, Xie Xuan, etc. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Xi Chao is a very regular person, although he is in the army, he is a staff member, and he will not enter the army to practice, but he still gets up according to the usual customs, and the genius has just flashed light, he will get up, after washing, he will move his muscles and bones, and then he will read a book...... Now it is unlikely that he will go on another Northern Expedition, except for some trivial things, he is not busy, so if Huan Wen is not summoned, he will usually sit and read a book for a day.
The environment here is not as good as at home, but a cup of hot tea is enough to be warm.
Today is a quiet day, at least there is no need to run to Huiji County, according to the current situation, Huan Wen is very optimistic about Wang Ningzhi, there is no doubt about this, although he and Wang Ningzhi are also cousins, but their appreciation has nothing to do with this relationship.
At least it seems, a man of forethought...... Xi Chao, who was drinking tea, thought about it, and couldn't guess all of Wang Ningzhi's arrangements, but the response that day seemed to be all under Wang Ningzhi's grasp, and this alone was enough to make him pay attention to it.
After all, the people who can gather around Huan Wen are not just celebrities who can only talk.
I was thinking about it here, and there was an inquiry outside, and it was Wang Xun and Xie Xuan.
"Brother Jingxing, the two of us didn't bother you, did we?" It was Xie Xuan who spoke, because he was quite familiar with Xi Chao on weekdays, so he didn't pay so much attention to it.
The little guy next to him also hurriedly bought seats for the two of them.
"It's not a disturbing day to be idle...... You guys are coming here, shouldn't it be for Shuping's business? Xi Chao put down the book in his hand and asked.
"It's accurate to guess, it's for Shuping's matter, Brother Jingxing should know that Duke Huan is too busy over there, I heard that the people from the Wangfu and the people of the He family in Lujiang have come together in the past two days, it is obviously Duke Huan's family affairs, and we are not easy to mix." Wang Xun said, "What did Duke Huan say about Shuping?" β
Although Xie Xuan was pouring himself tea, he was also listening carefully.
Xi Chao thought for a while and said: "Shuping shouldn't come over to work with us, speaking of which, his promotion path is much better than ours......"
"Oh? How can Shuping's brother-in-law have a good future, Mo Chenghuan wants to recommend him......" Stopping the movements in his hand, Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, after I came back from Huiji County and told Duke Huan about how Shuping dealt with Li Linghuai's slander, Duke Huan thought for a moment, first sighed, and then said that he would help him, I don't know how it works, but ...... If you haven't guessed wrong, Yangzhou Mu should fall on Shuping. Xi Chao organized his own language, "It has only been long since the disaster relief, and Huiji County has already seen the results, and Li Linghuai also had an accident at this timeββ"
Wang Xun continued: "I remember that the imperial court named Duke Huan as the pastor of Yangzhou, recorded the Shangshu affairs, and sent Yan Xuan to announce the decree and summoned him to the court to participate in politics, but was rejected by Duke Huan, so the history of Yangzhou assassination fell on Li Linghuai, who was recommended by the king of Huiji, and now Li Linghuai is in prison, if Duke Huan still has no intention of pasting Yangzhou, recommend Shuping...... The possibility is still very high. β
"That's a pity, I thought I could work with my brother-in-law, but it seems unlikely." Xie Xuan sighed while drinking tea, "But if Duke Huan really recommends his brother-in-law, wouldn't he have a conflict with King Huiji...... You must know that now the people of the Huiji Wangfu are being received by Duke Huan. β
Wang Xun said: "This is worth thinking about, does Brother Jingxing know what the purpose of the people from the Huiji Wangfu is here?" β
Xi Chao was silent for a moment, and when he saw that the little guy next to him didn't notice this, he sighed softly:
"Probably...... It is related to the Nakado family affair. β
β¦β¦
Wu County, Zhu's Grange.
An ox cart slowly entered the gate of the Zhu family, and it seemed that the people next to him were not surprised by this, and if someone familiar asked about it, the porter would respond: "This is the frame of the famous white fog real person." β
Unlike other families, the Zhu family believed in different things, including Buddhism, Taoism, and even more, they did not believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and adhered to Confucian dogma...... Therefore, there are many conflicts within the family, which is not enough for outsiders.
Bai Wu Zhenren and Seng Ruo got down from the ox cart, entered a courtyard, and under the guidance of the little maid, they entered the study in the courtyard, and one of the owners of this house was waiting for them, it was Zhu Xuan, who was now on vacation. Seeing the two of them coming in, Zhu Xuan hurriedly got up and invited them to sit down, and personally made them tea, and then asked, "You two, I don't know how the investigation is?" β
Hearing Zhu Xuan's question, Bai Wu Zhenren smoothed his goatee and said with a smile: "It should be true, that person is related to Zu Ming." β
"What kind of relative?" Zhu Xuan wondered.
Baiwu Zhenren and Seng Ruo glanced at each other, and Seng Ruo said: "The poor monk has traveled far for a while, and has learned about the inside affairs of the Zhu family, and has also heard about Zu Ming's brother Zu Fa...... And that person coincided with the time of Zufa's accident, and after this period of investigation, it can basically be determined. β
"Yes...... My brother's son? Zhu Xuan was a little excited, "Could it be that my brother still has a queen?" β
The white mist real person nodded and said, "It seems very likely now...... It's justβ"
"Just what?" Hearing that his brother still has descendants, in the past, Zhu Xuan may not have other ideas, but now as the head of the Zhu family, and when the Zhu family is no longer glorious, it is indeed worth being happy to be able to add a queen.
"It's just that he currently believes in the Evolutionary School, which is incompatible with our Shangqing School, and even my Taoist temple is becoming less and less under his oppression, and it seems that it will not be able to maintain it." Bai Wu Zhenren sighed and looked at Zhu Xuan a little miserably, "Forget it, I've already brought the words, but Zu Ming's identity is here, in order to avoid the suspicion of others, it's better to be secretive when contacting that person, my Taoist temple is a good place to go......"
"Thank you for that." Zhu Xuan raised the teacup, "Replace wine with tea to express gratitude." β
β¦β¦
The ox cart slowly left Zhu's Grange.
Zhu Xuan stood quietly at the door, alone, a little depressed at the gate of the huge manor, his eyes were withdrawn from a distance, he smiled lightly, and kept thinking about the actions and words of Baiwu Zhenren and Seng Ruo after they came in, and the intentions of these two people were very clear, because he could serve as the head of a big family, he was not a mediocre person: "Evolutionary faction, if it is really my son and nephew, what can I do if I believe in evolutionary faction, I really think about it......"
After a while, he turned and walked into the Grange, and at the door he saw the porter sitting beside him, and said, "Close the door, I have been resting at home for the past few days, and I have not seen any visitors, and no one has refused to come." (To be continued.) )
