Chapter 332: Doing Nothing
All the problems are with Li Wei's mother! The Li family was originally born in Caojiao, but it was only because of Renzong's guilt towards Concubine Li that they had their current status. When the princess entered the gate of the Li family, Li Wei's mother actually treated the princess with the attitude of a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law in the market!
In her opinion, it is a natural thing for a mother-in-law to call her daughter-in-law, and it is normal for her mother-in-law to beat and scold her when she does something wrong. I didn't do it myself, and I already took great care of the identity of the eldest princess!
But she doesn't understand that a princess is a princess, and even if she marries into your family, she is still a princess! She is destined to be different from those ordinary daughters-in-law, you can't treat her the same as those ordinary people! What's more, everything your Li family has now is given by her family!
Yang Yi said that every time the princess had a fight with her mother-in-law, she drank alone. She hadn't thought about running back yet, and she knew it wasn't good!
Liang Huaiji is the eunuch next to the princess, and this eunuch is still very righteous, whether it is in the eunuchs, or to Yang Yi and their guards, this eunuch always likes to take care of some idle things that he can manage.
Now that the princess has been wronged, Liang Huaiji sees it in his eyes, but he knows that this is not his own responsibility. What he did was to try his best to cover up his mistakes for the princess in front of Li Wei's mother, and when the eldest princess was depressed, he accompanied the eldest princess to relax, talk, and drink.
Li Wei is different, he is wooden, he doesn't understand the princess's mind, every time the princess and his mother have an argument, he sends the princess out of the room, and then comforts his angry mother.
As soon as the words are long, the problem will come out. Liang Huaiji is not only a eunuch, but also a eunuch with outstanding literary talents! Covering up her mistakes for the princess again and again, drinking with the princess again and again, before she knew it, the eldest princess suddenly discovered that this eunuch was actually more worthy of her own reliance than the five big and three thick Li Wei.
At least he is willing to heal his wounds when he is injured, at least he has a common language, interests, and hobbies with him.
So, the two finally came together spiritually.
No one really can be blamed for this! Chen Yuan now understands that the pain of the eldest princess and Li Wei's pain are actually the same, that is, two people who should not be together suddenly came together. Originally, there was nothing, Li Wei was willing to accommodate, the eldest princess is not a person who messes around, if you give a little time, the relationship between the two people will slowly cultivate, but there is also a role like Li Wei's mother, she uses a market standard to demand the princess, thinking that serving her in-laws is what a daughter-in-law should do! Think that everything that the mother-in-law does should be holy to the daughter-in-law! She forgot that in the past, it was the eldest princess who gave orders to others.
Judging from the current concept of the Song Dynasty, Li Wei's mother can stand up to reason. But is the eldest princess wrong? Is Liang Huaiji wrong? At least from Chen Yuan's perspective in the twenty-first century, if the eldest princess really likes Liang Huaiji, Li Wei should let it go now!
He found that the whole thing was figured out by himself, and the key to the problem was Li Wei's mother, but Li Wei's mother's approach in the moral concept of the Song Dynasty was understandable! It's really tricky. He couldn't touch Li Wei's mother, because behind this woman, there were countless defenders, and this was the capital for this woman to dare to embarrass Renzong.
In the end, he could only choose to let Liang Huaiji leave! It's good to talk about it first, Chen Yuan hopes that he can convince Liang Huaiji.
His hand kept knocking on the table: "I only know now that there are so many things in the middle, forget it, I won't go today, and I don't know what to say when I go." Brother Yang, can you help me make an appointment with that Liang Huaiji tomorrow? β
Even if he doesn't go to Liang Huaiji today, Chen Yuan has a lot to do. The most important thing is to go and see Lu Yijian and see if he needs help with his current troubles.
Chen Yuan's support for Lu Yijian is definitely not spiritual, if Lao Lu has any small means that are inconvenient for him to do by himself, Chen Yuan is happy to take action for him!
Also, there must be many people who will fall from the court in the storm set off by Fan Zhongyan this time, Chen Yuan hopes that he can find an opportunity for Liu Yong, an opportunity to become an official!
He has chosen to embark on the path of Chen Shimei, Chen Yuan hopes that he can become more powerful and have the ability to fight his way out of the dead situation faced by Chen Shimei!
This is absolutely impossible to do on his own strength, no matter how powerful Chen Yuan is! He needs a team! A team that has the power to return to heaven no matter in officialdom, shopping malls, or battlefields! This team needs to be able to guarantee that if one day they really press under the dragon head, they will be able to pull themselves out!
He had heard of Fan Zhongyan's 100 official diagrams, but he didn't know what the final outcome would be. Everyone in Bianjing knows that Chen Yuan has been Lu Yijian's protΓ©gΓ© and guest! Now it is impossible for him to abandon Lu Yijian and leave, even if Lao Lu's situation is not optimistic, Chen Yuan must follow him firmly, in order to let others see his "loyalty".
When I came to Xiangguo's Mansion, the door of Xiangguo's Mansion was very deserted.
Officialdom is like this, when others perceive that it is dangerous to follow you, usually those protΓ©gΓ©s and disciples will "scatter as birds and beasts!" β
Lu Fu was very happy about Chen Yuan's arrival: "Shopkeeper Chen, hehe, Xiangguo said that you will definitely come today, and sure enough." β
Chen Yuan cupped his fists and returned the salute to Lu Fu: "Xiangguo knows that I will come?" β
Lu Fu nodded: "Well, Xiangguo is waiting for you in the study, let's go quickly." β
Lu Yijian is writing, to be precise, he is practicing calligraphy. In fact, he doesn't need to practice his handwriting anymore, but he still insists on practicing it for an hour every day, and no matter how busy he is, he won't be delayed.
Whether it is a gentleman or a villain, if he can succeed, it shows that he has extraordinary perseverance. If you practice calligraphy by others, it is estimated that you will not practice again when you practice at Lu Yijian's age.
Seeing Chen Yuan come in, Lu Yijian smiled and did not put down the brush in his hand. Chen Yuan didn't make a sound, and waited quietly on the side.
After a while, Lu Yijian finally finished writing: "Shimei, do you want to see what the old man is preparing now?" β
Chen Yuan did not deny it: "I came to ask Xiangguo, is there anything I can help with?" β
Lu Yijian didn't answer him, but smiled: "Well, yes, you are the only one among the disciples of the old man's sect who came to the door today." I admire Fan Zhongyan a lot, when I put him out of Bianjing a few years ago, hundreds of officials sent him off, and more than ten disciples accompanied him. Hehe, if I am taken away by him this time, I guess you are the only one who will come to see me off. β
Chen Yuan knows that this is the gathering of like. The people around Lu Yijian were not gentlemen, so naturally it was impossible to be like Fan Zhongyan's disciples.
Lu Yijian then asked, "If you were me, what should you do now?" β
Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "Xiangguo, I think that although Fan Zhongyan's move this time is fierce, when he can attack you, he also implicates others, Xiangguo can unite those whose interests are also damaged, and there are not a few of these people." β
Lu Yijian nodded: "It's a way, if I do what you say." Fan Zhong can't fight me! It's good that you can see this, at least you can find a place to stand in the court. β
Chen Yuan tentatively asked: "It is naturally inappropriate for Xiangguo to come forward to contact, I don't know if I can serve in the future?" β
Lu Yijian shook his head: "Shimei, the struggle in the court is very complicated, but sometimes it is very simple. The point is that you have to see through what the cause is. β
Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, the original reason for this matter was the bureau set up by Lao Pang, Lao Pang threw Lu Yijian out, and induced Fan Zhongyan to muddy the water of the entire court with a picture of a hundred officials, and when Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan were fighting, he would definitely be able to touch a lot of fish.
This is also one of the reasons why he believes that Lu Yijian will not lose, and at a critical time, Pang Ji will definitely help Lu Yijian and pull Lao Lu up again!
Lu Yijian looked at Chen Yuan's contemplative appearance, picked up the brush again with a smile on his face, and wrote two words "Wu Wei" on the paper.
"You spoke for me in front of the emperor today, and I am very grateful to you. It's inconvenient for me to say those words, and I'm thinking about who to tell the emperor through. After Lu Yijian finished writing, he slowly dried the ink of those two words.
Chen Yuan frowned: "Xiangguo, the villain is stupid, what does it mean to write the word Wuwei at this time?" β
Lu Yijian said while fanning: "Those who do nothing, know that they can't do it and do nothing, for what they can do." Just like my current situation, if Fan Zhongyan and I really get involved, what my fate will be, it will depend on Pang Ji's face. Shimei, in the struggle of the court, don't pin your hopes for success or failure on others. β
He was already teaching Chen Yuan how to be an official. Obviously, Lu Yijian has high hopes for Chen Yuan's career, and he doesn't know what Chen Yuan is doing as an official.
Lu Yijian said: "I have already written the recital, about the more than 50 people who Fan Zhongyan said were abnormally promoted, I will explain to the emperor and ask for guilt." You also know that not all of these 50 people were promoted by me, and I took this matter on my shoulders, and someone will speak for me. Also, none of those people were derelict in their duties after taking office, and the emperor would not drive me out of Bianjing, at most I would be demoted. β
When talking about demotion, Lu Yijian suddenly smiled.
Chen Yuan immediately understood the key! What an old fox!
Lu Yijian is now the prime minister of the dynasty, which means that he is in addition to the emperor. Lu Yijian was demoted, Fan Zhongyan thought very well, if Lu Yijian fought with him, he could unite all his forces in the struggle, so that Xia Zhu could catch up with Pang Ji in fame and strength! But as soon as Lu Yijian admits defeat, those under Lu Yijian will inevitably fall into the arms of Master Pang! Xia Zhu lost the opportunity to catch up with Pang Ji! If you replace it step by step, then the most suitable candidate is Pang Ji! I believe that this situation is something that many people, including Fan Zhongyan, do not want to see!
Also, Pang Ji will definitely not let Lu Yijian go, because after Lu Yijian leaves, Pang Ji will have to face the attacks of those scholars alone.
The most important point is that although Renzong is cowardly, he is not confused. He knew very well the small actions between the ministers! He will not let any faction in the court dominate.
Lao Lu admits defeat, this move is really a good move! This is a performance of the villain, when it is time to be a grandson, he can definitely open his mouth to call others "grandpa"!
Chen Yuan immediately clenched his fists and said, "Xiangguo is clever!" It's just that what is Sangkook going to do next? β
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yijian's mouth: "You are your boss and be your horse." Maybe one day, I'll need you to do me a big favor. β
Chen Yuan knew that when Lao Lu admitted defeat, he had already begun to prepare knives. This is another manifestation of the villain is that when he calls you grandpa, he is already looking at where he can insert a knife in you, so that he will not have a "grandpa" in the future. Without his grandfather, he would no longer be a grandson.
Chen Yuan answered, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a question! This question made Chen Yuan extremely stunned! The whole body shook instantly, and he looked up at Lu Yijian fiercely.
Lu Yijian smiled slightly and put his finger on his lips: "Shhhh β
