Fang Yingwu carefully glanced at Liu Jian a few times, and saw that his face was full of expectation. It can be seen that this old man does not mean to make things difficult for himself, but really wants to solve the problem of this prince studying government affairs.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Yingwu feels tricky. If it's really deliberately difficult, then you don't have to be polite, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about, just go back. But if you don't try it and refuse it at the moment, you're still embarrassed.

Try it, try it, it's a big deal if it doesn't work, Fang Yingwu thought. Anyway, the situation can't be worse, and there is nothing anyone else can do, even if you fail, there is no shame. If it really happens, then even if his own name is erected in the East Palace, the weight in the prince's mind will inevitably be further increased.

In the next class, Fang Yingwu's mind has been pondering this task. If the relationship with Wang Zhi is normal, maybe you can still open a breakthrough from Wang Zhi, but it is obviously impossible at this time.

After thinking for a while, Fang Yingwu decided to ask Lao Taishan for help. Liu Mian has been in the inner court for a long time and is very familiar with the situation, so he should be able to give himself some guidance.

When Shen Shi, the East Palace was dispersed, and the prince went back to the palace. Fang Yingwu knew that Liu Mian must have slipped away in advance, and his habits would not change lightly for ten years.

Fang Yingwu didn't go home after leaving the palace, and went directly to Liu's mansion, but was told that Lao Taishan went out for a banquet. So Fang's son-in-law waited in Liu's Mansion and had dinner by the way.

On the second watch, Liu Mian came home from outside, with three points of alcohol. When he saw Fang Yingwu, he asked, "Could it be that you are on duty in the East Palace today, what are the difficult things?" ”

Fang Yingwu thought secretly. Old Taishan really drank alcohol, otherwise it would be difficult to take the initiative to ask like this. In general. You have to wait for yourself to ask for help first, so that you can take the initiative.

There are people who are in demand, and they are not qualified to care about anything. He said truthfully: "The celebrant eunuch refused to send the performance to the East Palace, and the prince could not study current affairs normally. The little son-in-law spoke softly, and it was extremely difficult to think about this matter, so he asked Lao Taishan for advice. ”

Liu Mian thought for a while, "This matter looks simple, but it's not simple. Although the old man didn't know much about the inside story of the celebrant supervisor, he could infer one or two reasons, and the reason was nothing more than one of two.

The first is to be good. The Son of Heaven made it clear that the chariot and horse intended to abolish the crown prince, and the celebrant eunuch treated the East Palace like this in order to welcome the Son of Heaven or fear the anger of the Son of Heaven. The second is the secret command of the Son of Heaven, which is intended to weaken the influence of the East Palace, and the celebrant is just acting on orders. ”

Fang Yingwu snorted coldly: "The celebrant is deliberately negligent, aren't you afraid that after the prince can still practice Zuo and ascend to the great treasure, he will find them to settle accounts after the autumn!" ”

Liu Mian chuckled a few times, "If this is really the case." Naturally, they can put the blame on the present. Anyway, at that time, the dragon was definitely no longer in the world, and it was not for the living to say it with one mouth. ”

Fang Yingwu sighed when he heard this, sure enough, there are rules of survival everywhere, even if you are the son of heaven. To die is to be a dump of dirt. However, this is not the focus of tonight, Fang Yingwu asked directly: "Is there a way for the son-in-law to convince the celebrant to do so?" If not, forget it. ”

Liu Mian replied: "You have a deep friendship with Wang Zhi, and now Wang Zhi has entered the celebrant supervisor. You should go to Wang Zhi to ask, he is likely to help you directly. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't want to talk about it. He also asked: "The performance is nothing more than the handling of the celebrant and the cabinet, and the celebrant can't do it." I don't know if there is a way for the cabinet to be flexible and go to Feng Zuoshu to read and study with the prince? ”

Liu Mian refused, "It's not the first day you've entered the imperial court, how can you ask such a confused question?" The East Palace may be able to communicate with the eunuchs and ministers, but it must not be too close to other foreign ministers, otherwise you will be suspected of usurping the throne, do you want to be impeached for ill intentions? What's more, there is also the first assistant Wan An on the cabinet side. ”

"Is the only way to go to the celebrant?" Fang Yingwu said to himself disappointedly.

Liu Mian was keenly aware of something, and asked curiously: "Could it be that you don't want to go to Wang Zhi?" Why is that? Don't shy away from the questions! ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yingwu could only force a smile, although he didn't want to mention it, but he was chased by Lao Taishan and asked, and he couldn't help but answer, Lao Taishan is not easy to fool. "There have been some problems with the relationship these days, and it's not good to go to her."

Before Fang Yingwu could speak, he saw Lao Taishan's suddenly excited red light, and his eyes were full of essence, which was very terrifying.

Liu Mian said very strictly: "As the saying goes, although it is not advisable or used as a code of conduct, there are also some truths in it.

Now that Wang Zhigui is the celebrant and eunuch, he has reached another level, and you have not changed much. From a political point of view, the two of you don't match each other, and it's normal for there to be problems in your relationship. ”

Fang Yingwu looked at Liu Mian in surprise, "What does Old Taishan mean by saying this?" ”

Liu Mian replied unceremoniously: "If the old man wants to say that the relationship between you and Wang Zhi is not suitable, it is better to replace it with the old man!" ”

Burst! Fang Yingwu jumped up from the chair with a "whoosh", how did Liu Mian's words sound like the original pair of juniors? I couldn't help but shout: "Old Taishan is cautious! ”

Liu Mian was unimpressed by the strange attitude of the cheap son-in-law, and said smugly: "The eunuch is known as the prime minister, and the eunuch and admiral Dongchang is the second minister, and only the cabinet scholars, especially the second assistants like the old man, can be matched!"

And you might as well draw a thread between the old man and Wang Zhi, and let the old man replace you as Eunuch Wang's ally, this is the way to maximize interests. ”

Fang Yingwu only smiled bitterly, Lao Taishan really wanted to snatch love with a knife, when the junior between him and Wang Zhi was just the ambition of the political junior Lao Taishan, it simply made him vomit blood!

Liu Mian was drunk, his thinking became more and more agile, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the opportunity was rare! Wang Zhi, a fresh and special celebrant and eunuch, has no connections among civil officials, and it seems that he is only close to Fang Yingwu, and he can just fill this gap!

He thought in his heart, and persuaded his son-in-law bitterly: "You are just a subordinate official of the Liupin East Palace, and it is meaningless to occupy the friendship of the celebrant and eunuch, and you can't play your due role at all."

It's better to transfer it to the old man, and only the old man and Wang Zhi can form a real alliance. With the old man here, he can also take care of you. ”

Fang Yingwu held his forehead with his hand, and sighed in distress and was speechless, Old Taishan was too sentimental, he didn't know what kind of friendship this friendship was!

Or, in fact, this is not a friendship but an adulterous relationship, and friendship can be replaced, can adultery be? Fang Yingwu had imagined many situations before, but he never expected that Lao Taishan wanted to be a political junior (to be continued......
