"Like here, the most important files and accounts in a yamen can't be found, and it's very messy. I originally heard my senior brother say that Lord Liu is capable, alas! ”

She shook her head and sighed, with a "it's better to meet than to be famous" expression.

Liu Hongyu: "......"

Thank you for your understanding. He has been an official all his life, and he has never seen Zhao Ruxi like this.

Is this a girl? Is this a famous great talent, great painter, and great calligrapher? Totally a scoundrel, okay? When it comes to speaking, it is called a dare to speak, that is called an outspokenness, that is called a hidden knife, and that is called a cynicism.

He didn't know how a simple sentence could make her say so many extraneous meanings.

Liu Hongyu's mood was very complicated for a while.

After Zhao Ruxi said this, he stood up and said hello to Liu Hongyu: "Then I'll go back first." Lord Cai found the things over there, and you asked someone to inform me. ”

She walked out as she spoke, and when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and said, "Oh, by the way, that Guan Jian'an, and the official Qin Wang, one is not in good health, and the other is a newcomer who doesn't know anything, and he can't do anything." In that case, there is no need to send any more officials and officials to me. If there is anything, I will call my own subordinates. ”

Saying that, she didn't wait for Liu Hongyu to react, turned her head and went out.

"Hey......" Liu Hongyu wanted to stop her, but Zhao Ruxi walked too fast, and in a blink of an eye, he went down the steps and went outside the gate of the yamen.

Liu Hongyu took a deep breath and told himself: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's a big injury." ”

After a while, the depression that surged up in his heart dissipated.

"Zhong Liang, what do you think I should do?" He asked his master.

He has good ability, but he has only achieved the position of Zhizhou in his life, but there is no backstage. The absence of a backstage means that the information is not very well-informed, and there is a sense of fear for officials who have a relationship with the emperor. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Cai Yaozong to stumble under him by relying on the relationship of the crown prince.

When a new official takes office, in front of his boss and seniors, he generally behaves with his tail between his legs, is honest for a period of time, and tries to keep his temper as much as possible. Even if you are ambitious, you have to adapt to the environment for a while before it is exposed.

Especially Zhao Ruxi is a woman, and she is still a little girl under the age of sixteen, so anyone should despise her and not take her seriously.

So even if Liu Hongyu knew that Zhao Ruxi was coming, and he was a person with a background and background, he didn't take Zhao Ruxi to heart. He knew that Cai Yaozong was not a stupid person, and he would not do too much against the power behind Zhao Ruxi. So that everyone is safe, and it's okay.

He really didn't expect Zhao Ruxi to be a thorn, more thorny than any new official he has met in the decades since he took office, he was about to seize power as soon as he arrived here, threaten if he couldn't take it, and strike if he couldn't threaten.

If that's all there is to it, that's fine.

Anyway, it was not he, Liu Hongyu, who hindered Zhao Ruxi's rights, but Cai Yaozong. As the boss who is about to become a boss, he only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Whoever wins, he supports whomever he supports. Anyway, he can't offend anyone. There is a huge difference between his status and Qin Wang's, but his thoughts are surprisingly consistent, that is, he does not seek merit, but seeks no fault.

But now, Zhao Ruxi is clearly not letting him stand by anymore, but forcing him to stand in line.

Liu Hongyu felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

He felt that if he was on the wrong team, it would be a little difficult for him to leave his post safely.

"Do you think Zhao Zhiwei's backstage is really that hard? Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, right? He added.

Zhong Liang was Liu Hongyu's classmate, he failed many times, only took the test as a child, and his poor family could not afford him to go to school, so he stopped thinking about going to school. He is a bit knowledgeable and astute, and the two have similar temperaments, so Liu Hongyu invited him to be his master.

Liu Hongyu was born as a small landlord, his family has hundreds of acres of land, and he became a county magistrate for more than ten years after winning the Jinshi, and finally did a magistrate in Nanyang for six or seven years.

Zhong Liang knew that Liu Hongyu was not asking for his opinion, but wanted to let him analyze the situation in front of him.

He said: "Cai Hongyu was thirty years old, and because his teacher was a member of the prince's faction, he himself belonged to the prince's faction. He served as the magistrate of the county for three years, and then was promoted to the governor of Nanyang, and has been an official until now, for ten years. ”

"Zhao Zhiwei was the champion at the age of fifteen, and as soon as he took office, he directly became the Tongzhi of Nanyang Prefecture. The master, Mr. Deadwood, is the holy cousin, and the senior brother Wu Huaisi, the second senior brother Gong Cheng, the left servant of the Ministry of Works, and the third senior brother Wu Zong, the new prefect of Linjiang Prefecture, are all royalists. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Liu Hongyu, and continued: "The relationship behind Zhao Zhiwei is more than that. His grandfather was the Duke of Suiguo, and his father Zhao Yuanxun became a marquis, and later was demoted to an earl due to the drag of the Wei family, and is now a general judge of Gusu Mansion. Not to mention the intricate forces behind these big families, just say that Zhao Zhiwei is a noble daughter, with outstanding appearance and outstanding talent, and has been praised by the emperor, and she is the champion, and her value is extremely high. Such a woman, who can marry her, will not be a mortal, but only a royal nobleman. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hongyu's pupils shrank.

When Zhong Liang saw this, he knew that Liu Hongyu understood what he meant.

He concluded: "The comparison between the two compartments, there is no need to say more, if you want to come to Dong Weng, you will know how to choose." ”

At the end, he added: "The prince is just the prince; At present, the Great Jin Dynasty is still in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor is in the prime of life and is in good health. ”

Picking out this sentence, Zhong Liang's meaning couldn't be more obvious - he suggested that Liu Hongyu side with Zhao Ruxi.

"In addition......" Zhong Liang stroked the beard under his chin, "the adults support Lord Cai, it is nothing more than for the sake of their descendants." If Zhao Zhiwei doesn't come to Nanyang, then the adult's approach is completely fine. But now Zhao Zhiwei has come to Nanyang, and he has also confronted Lord Cai. Then it is difficult to say what the future of Lord Cai is. Zhao Zhiwei can be hand-picked as the champion, or a master of painting and calligraphy, do adults think she is a stupid person? ”

Liu Hongyu shook his head.

"Since she is not a stupid person, why did she confront Lord Cai and Lord Cai as soon as she came to Nanyang, and she was still aggressive? Did she mean anything by doing this? ”

Hearing this, Liu Hongyu's face changed.

He asked, "Isn't she the one who is the prince of another faction?" ”

Zhong Liang shook his head: "I don't know if she is from another faction, but I know that if the adults blindly defend Lord Cai and Zhao Zhiwei, if you don't stand in line, you will be considered an official of the prince's family." ”
