Chapter 253: Sacrifice
Helan Minzhi snorted coldly and said a few words before leaving, but was grabbed by Zheng Lang with his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHe's such a temper now, if it's good words, it's easy to say anything, and if it's bad words, don't talk about anything.
On weekdays, I look at it and I'm extremely approachable. Whether it is the big two and three who are always with him, or the ordinary maidservants who are waiting, or the servants in the family, he basically did not put up any shelves, nor did he lose his temper easily.
But in fact, after so many years, the pride of identity that Wu Zetian brought to him has been deeply imprinted in his heart. This pride became more and more profound with Wu Zetian after he became the queen. Although he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, the current surname Helan is a nobleman in itself, not to mention the blood of the martial arts. His long-standing status made him unfit to bow his head to anyone but the emperor. Not to mention being scolded so harshly.
Mo said what the seven families and five surnames were, and even the emperor has been gentle and soft to him over the years. Although he knew in his heart that this was a means of theirs, Helan Minzhi just didn't want to endure their way of doing things. What about the seven families and five surnames? Haven't the seven families and five surnames been severely suppressed by their own family so far? Who gave them such audacity to dare to scold themselves.
I was also angry just now, and being pulled by Zheng Lang like this can be regarded as a return to reason. After all, he is still a teenager, and when he is impulsive when he is old, Helan Minzhi sometimes can't control it. But if it is like this in the political confrontation, sooner or later it will suffer a big loss. Secretly biting the tip of his tongue, he suppressed the fire in his heart. The temper tantrum has been made, and the attitude has been made clear, if you really leave with your hands, this matter will be a little difficult to deal with next.
It happened that Zheng Lang gave himself a step down, so he stopped and turned around: "Brother, you also heard it, it's not that I'm going to be angry." It's really Cui Shangshu who is aggressive, can you say that just now casually? Intentionally smearing the ancestors, intentionally inciting Buddhist and Taoist turmoil, and insulting the state religion. The big hat was buttoned off for me. If it is passed to His Majesty's ears by someone with a heart, this is going to ask for the head of the little brother. ā
As soon as this old brother shouted, Zheng Lang was indeed a little anxious, and the pretended smile instantly became three points. Cui Yuqing had a straight face, and his angry appearance also showed a tendency to relax a little.
Just as Helan Minzhi was unwilling to have a stalemate with the Shandong Shi clan, they were also unwilling to really have a bad relationship with Helan Min. As Wu Zetian's only relative in the court, and she has won her trust. is valued by Li Zhi again, maybe now he can not play much use. But the symbolism is too great, if you really fight him, the consequences will be tantamount to making things worse for the current Shandong Shi clan.
And the "Journey to the West" in their hands can be regarded as Helan Minzhi's handle, but this is not a political enemy, so they have to use other people's handles to kill others. It's a political deal, and if the initial negotiations fail, how can the deal go ahead. At that time, this handle will be chicken ribs, and it will be a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.
The Shandong Shi clan didn't think about presenting this thing to Li Zhi from the beginning. One is because of Wu Zetian's relationship, and the other is because Li Zhi has just given He Lanmin the title of official, obviously attaching great importance to him. At this time, he was presented with his handle, which was to force the emperor to deal with him. At that time, I am afraid that although he has dealt with Helan Minzhi, he is extremely dissatisfied with Shandong in his heart.
And with Helan Minzhi's importance to Wu Zetian, if he takes it down, I'm afraid that Cui Yuqing and Zheng Lang's officials will not be able to keep it. At least one of them will definitely not be able to be saved, the price is too great for Shandong to pay.
Cui Yuqing and Zheng Lang, one is in control of the country's money bags, and the other is in charge of the murder weapon. If the two of them lose their officials, it means that they have lost the household department and the military department. How long did it take for Shandong to operate into its own hands, and how much manpower and material resources it took to control it. In their eyes, it is much more valuable than a Helan Minzhi.
"Brother, you said you were too. Why do you mention this rashly? Hurry, hurry, brother hurry up and take a seat, what's not to be happy, let's drink in the glass, the wine says. What a big deal, it's so angry and hurts our feelings. ā
Saying that, Zheng Lang took Helan Minzhi back to his place, and then filled him with a glass of wine in person. This can be regarded as giving him enough face, after all, the household servant is much stronger than a prince Zuo Shuzi who is not light or heavy. And with Zheng Lang's age and qualifications, he personally gave Helan Min a full wine, which can be regarded as a great sacrifice for today's banquet.
Helan Minzhi sat there, his teeth biting his lips and grinding them gently. According to his previous information, the relationship between Zheng Lang and Cui Yuqing was not as good as it appeared, otherwise he would not have come out of Chang'an for so long, and he didn't come to Cui Yuqing's side to meet until today.
He also understands the twists and turns in his heart. But I just didn't expect that what the Shandong Shi clan did could make Zheng Lang's attitude change so much in half a day, and sacrifice so much for Cui Yuqing.
Cui Yuqing obviously understood, and glanced at Zheng Lang with a little apologetic eyes. Then it went back to normal, as if nothing had happened. Zheng Lang also glanced at Cui Yuqing by pouring wine, as if nothing had happened in his eyes.
"Come, brother, too. How did you say this, why did you mention this matter while drinking well, it was my brother who brought it up first, so let's do it, both of you looked at my face. Toast together, let's slip this matter, okay? Zheng Lang raised the wine glass in his hand with arrogance and motioned to the two.
Cui Yuqing and He Lan Minzhi are both understanding people, and the quarrel just now was just an act. There are steps here, and there are peacemakers, so hurry up and get off the donkey. The three of them drank the cup to the fullest, and then the atmosphere of the whole tent changed from swords, guns, swords, and halberds to joy.
"Come on, come on, come on, come over and make another cup of tea. I've drunk a lot of wine today, and I'm a little taller. Have a cup of tea to relieve hangover. Zheng Lang clapped his hands and asked the person who made the tea to come up and bring another cup of tea to everyone. came up quietly, and after doing his own thing, he didn't say a word and retreated.
The three of them sat down again, each silent. Helan Minzhi was waiting, and Cui Yuqing and Zheng Lang gave each other a look from time to time when they were drinking tea. It seems that I want to say it, but I don't know what to say. The feeling of being happy just now is slowly becoming a little awkward again. (To be continued.) )
