Chapter 557: Revenge Duo
2/4ββββ In recent days, the atmosphere in Tufu has been a bit bad. [No pop-up novel network]
Since Lord Hong didn't come to the door, Tu Shangshu has put on a dead face, and his temper is much more irritable than before, always sitting in the study with a gloomy face, and from time to time he will walk around in it restlessly, and the footsteps are very dull, making the whole Tufu panic.
In addition to being frightened, the people were also very puzzled, although his master had a wide range of contacts, he had no friendship with Hong Yushi in the past, why did he suddenly paint like glue? If you don't see each other for a few days, it's like every three autumns, is the progress too fast?
also had a keen mind to guess the truth, that is, the matter was related to several secret conversations between Hong Yushi and the master.
But if it is based on the words heard by the servants who were waiting nearby when the master was talking, things are still very strange.
Because the two adults have been discussing women, and they seem to be a woman with a very hot body, so everyone quickly reached a consensus on the reason for Master Tu's anxiety: The old man is probably a dead wood that sprouts again, and the old man has spring again.
Isn't that obvious?
The other party is likely to be a lady, so the lord had to ask Hong Yushi to propose marriage, and the two did not have that friendship before, so the lord had to invite the other party to the door several times, pour out his heart, and finally moved the other party. It's just that there are many good things, and I don't know if it hit a wall or what, Hong Yushi has no news for many days, which causes the master to be so anxious.
Thinking that they had guessed the truth, while the subordinates were relieved, they also secretly slandered their master.
Obviously, he is almost old, but he is still so lustful, not to mention the dozen or so concubines in the old family in Yinxian County, even in the capital, there are several wives and concubines here, but he still refuses to give up, and he is so angry about taking concubines, which is really contemptible.
Let's just say that your body, sir, even if everything goes well, Mrs. will not make trouble, and you can get your wish, but even if the other party is in good shape, you can't just watch? Knowing that this is still so urgent, it is really greedy!
Of course, these slanderers are just making a fuss in their stomachs, even if they are with their companions in private, few people mention it, in case the master knows, the little life will not be saved.
It is precisely because of this idea that on this day, when Hong Zhong, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in Tufu, the people rushed to report it, and almost fought to grab this place.
Hong Zhong originally had something in his heart, but he was also taken aback by the performance of the people under the slaughter house, and he didn't know when he became so popular, look at how enthusiastic the reaction was.
How did he know that he had been treated as a matchmaker by his subordinates, so he rushed to send this kind of news, usually there are red envelopes, and if the old man is in a good mood, this red envelope must be bigger!
In the end, the person who grabbed the top prize also got his wish, and when the lord heard that Lord Hong was coming, his face immediately smiled, and he was rewarded with ten taels of silver. Such a generous shot is definitely rare in the Tu family, and it may not be able to wait for ten years, so it is not necessarily a bad thing to come to spring this old age.
"Brother Chaozong, there is news in the palace." Of course, Hong Zhong didn't pay attention to the anomalies of the subordinates, who were not even ants compared to the major matters he cared about.
"Great, what did Zhang Yong say, what is the situation in the palace now?" Tu Yan hurriedly asked.
There is no direct intelligence channel, which is really a very painful thing, but all the ministers who have experienced the Chenghua and Hongzhi dynasties have the same feelings.
I think back then, even if there were two eunuchs in the palace fighting, they could get the news as soon as possible. But now? Even if the emperor demolishes the Qianqing Palace, as long as the outside can't hear it when it is demolished, the outer court will have no way of knowing.
"This is Zhang Yong's letter......" Hong Zhong handed the letter over directly, frowned and said: "The younger brother always feels that there are some problems in the letter, but he can't say the reason. β
"Oh?" After receiving the letter, Tu Yun's expression also became solemn, "Although Zhang Yong has the heart to support the righteousness, but Liu Jin is the head of the rat?" This is true of these two men, and it was mentioned in the previous letter......" He looked up a little confused.
"Well, at this point, there should be no problem." Hong Zhong shook his head, saying that he was not unfounded, and there was a follow-up to follow.
"Therefore, the plan has not been carried out, and in order to convince Liu Jin, Zhang Yong hopes that you and I will go to the imperial city, analyze the pros and cons face to face, and promise that they will not be liquidated in the future? This ......" Tu Yun understood, what Hong Zhong said was wrong, presumably this is the case.
"Brother Chaozong Mingjian." Seeing Tu Tu looking up again, Hong Zhong nodded solemnly.
"This matter is indeed a bit weird, it is said that this Zhang Yong has also read books and knows righteousness, how can he ......" Tu Tu frowned, very worried.
There is a way that the son of a daughter cannot sit down, and the scholars and doctors do not only demand the emperor from this, but to a large extent, this sentence is their own code of conduct.
What is the current Imperial City? Longtan Tiger's Den, a dangerous place that can no longer be dangerous, if the two of them break into it rashly, they will be killed if they are discovered, and they will be dismissed at the least, or they will be directly exiled or cut off their heads according to the last crime!
"What Brother Chao said is, look at this matter......"
The reason why Hong Zhong provoked Zhang Luo's matter was mainly because of Tianjin Wei's past, and he had to be anxious, because he was afraid, although the emperor's stick never fell on his head, who could guarantee that the emperor was not waiting to settle the account?
Maybe the more you go to the back, the higher the interest will be, in case you end up with the same fate as Liu Dongshan, it will be too miserable, so Hong Zhong is very hard-working. But if the private entry into the palace is discovered, then the general trend will be gone, and the Tianjin incident can still be denied, if it is arrested in the palace, there will still be a good punishment for the two crimes?
Therefore, he felt that things were strange, as Tu Tu said, Zhang Yong was also a person who had read books, how could he not understand this routine? Can the doctor move it himself? You know, even if the governor commands the border army to fight, he stays in the city and wanders outside casually, so is there still the dignity of a scholar?
"It's not easy to do!" Tu Yun sighed heavily.
Like Hong Zhong, he also had a last resort for coming out, Yang Rebel's father died at his hands, when he took office as a new official, and the other party gave him a gift. It is said that this is a routine practice, no one will say anything, if you don't send it, it will go wrong, it is called ignoring Shangguan!
At that time, it was just in time for Tu Tu to make a name for himself, he saw that Yang's father had no background and could not get Olympic aid, so he directly turned his face and took him down for corruption.
Afterwards, Tu Tu got his wish, his name spread all over the world, praise resounded all over Shilin, and his career was quite smooth. The entanglement with the Yang family, he has naturally long been left behind, what kind of climate can a young daughter of the priest's workshop become? In any case, it can't threaten him, a member of the court.
But the world is impermanent, he never expected that the orphan girl of the Yang family really turned over. It's nothing to almost become an imperial concubine, and Daming has no tradition of harem politics; But Yang Rebel had a relationship with Xie Hong, which made it difficult for Tu Tu to sleep and eat, that is the plague god, the plague god who will be avenged!
Although Xie Hong has not made any moves, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Yang Rebel, and when the marriage was given, the latter was not among them. But where does Tu Yun dare to relax?
Even in later generations, few people believed that there would be a pure friendship between men and women, let alone in the Ming Dynasty?
Of course, the fact is just as Tu Tu expected, Yang Rebel stayed for another reason, there are soundtracks for dramas and commentaries, and the responsibility of composing music is of course Yang Rebel'er, and it is really too late to travel from Liaodong.
Therefore, Tu Chu was very depressed, with the growth of Xie Hong's power, his depression was also thicker than a day, and in the end he chose to cooperate with Hong Zhong, wanting to seize this opportunity to completely eliminate Xie Hong's threat.
But things don't go well, go, or don't go? Dilemma, needless to say, the danger of going, if you don't go, it will be a waste of all your efforts, in case a forever broken jar is broken, and the two of you will be offered out, then there will be no good fruit to eat.
"Xuanzhi, in the old man's opinion, even if it is a little dangerous, we are going to go this time." Looking at each other speechlessly, and after being silent for a long time, Tu Yan suddenly opened his mouth.
"But......" Hong Zhong hesitated.
"The old man still has some attainments in calligraphy, and he has carefully identified the handwriting, which should be written by Zhang Yong himself, unless Zhang Yong is against the water, otherwise this matter should not be bad. But Zhang Yong turned against the water, only using you and me as bargaining chips, it seems to be a little ......" Tu Yun smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "It's not that the old man is arrogant, it's really not enough." β
Hong Zhong nodded silently, the six Shangshu, the second and third grade officials said it was very majestic, but it depends on who they compare with, in the eyes of the emperor and Xie Hong, they are indeed not enough, if Zhang Yong invited Wang Wei or Li Dongyang, it would be about the same.
"Although I have read some books, but that Zhang Yong is a first-class eunuch after all, Liu Jin is even more evil, if you and I don't come forward, maybe the two of them will mess up, and even do something perverse, I don't know what to do, the career of the two of us is small, but if you miss a big thing, where will you put the people in the world?"
Tu Yun's tone became high, as if he was making a generous statement in the Jinluan Palace: "Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, and did not hesitate to do his own for the sake of righteousness, which is the sage road that our scholars follow. β
Stripped of the clichΓ©s, Tu Chu's meaning is very clear, there is still life in the fight, and if the fight is won, there will be unexpected surprises, otherwise you can only wait for death. Ordinary people may not be able to understand it, but Hong Zhong has also been in officialdom for decades, how can he not understand it?
"That being the case, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the common people in the world, Zhong does not spare his own body, and is willing to participate in the grand event with the Chaozong brothers."
