Chapter 20 Visit
Mu Tiantuo looked at the woman in front of him, and then carefully looked at the plaque on the door, and made sure that he had come to Hua Wujian, so he was relieved to step into Hua Wujian.
"Childe stays. Qinglian stepped forward and brushed Mu Tiantuo.
The woman in front of her was extraordinary, gentle and polite, and Mu Tiantuo bowed his hand to him slightly: "Under Mu Tiantuo, the girl is..."
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the little woman's name is Qinglian, and she is the manager of Hua Wujian, I don't know why the eldest prince is here in Hua Wujian?" Qinglian is quick-minded, Zhuo Yucheng is not in the mansion, so naturally outsiders can't be allowed to enter at will, otherwise, it will disturb her husband's cultivation, but how can it be good.
"The main hall came today, because I want to discuss with Shenwu Jun about something, and I hope the girl will report it. "Zhuo Yucheng, at the last banquet, he failed to recruit his subordinates, and the encirclement and suppression of the Divine Soldier Pavilion failed to damage him in the slightest, not only that, but he also handed over those chaotic parties to Xiao Qinghe and brought them back, and threw this hot potato back to him. In the past few days in the house, he thought about it and thought that it would be a pity that such a talent would give up if it was just a solicitation that did not succeed, but after thinking twice, he decided to visit and recruit in person to show his sincerity in recruiting talents.
"Your Highness doesn't know, early this morning, my master went into the palace to face the saint, and he has not returned at this time, His Royal Highness might as well go back to the house first, don't be tired. The words are polite, the reasons are sufficient, this reply makes people can't find the slightest mistake, which really makes Mu Tiantuo sigh in his heart, even a small housekeeper has such a tongue-in-cheek ability, Zhuo Yucheng is really a genius. In this way, he will not stop there, and will have to wait until he returns!
"Since it is to enter the palace to face the saint, the main hall cannot be urged, there is nothing to do today, and it is okay for the main hall to wait here for a while. "Hua Wujian is here, the location is relatively remote, few people come, there are also stone tables and stone benches outside the door to rest, Mu Tiantuo found a clean place, sat down and waited.
Seeing this, Qinglian smiled slightly, and saluted Mu Tiantuo again: "Your Highness..." Both of them looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a carriage coming from a distance and slowly stopping in front of the Flower Warrior Gate.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the person sitting in the carriage was not Zhuo Yucheng, who was it? The posture calmly got off the carriage, and Xin Yao also followed closely to the left and right, without turning her head, and was about to enter the mansion with her feet raised. Seeing this, Mu Tiantuo hurriedly got up and called behind Zhuo Yucheng: "Brother Yucheng." β
Hearing this, he stopped moving, turned his head in surprise, and saw Mu Tiantuo arching his hands forward, bowing and saluting: "Brother Mu, why are you here." β
Mu Tiantuo stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Yucheng, although the steward of your mansion is a woman, his ability is not small. The master is not in the house, and no one will let him enter the house. The implication is that even the main hall does not give face at all.
Zhuo Yucheng glanced at Qinglian, this little woman is really powerful, and she did what he wanted. smiled and said to Mu Tiantuo: "Brother Mu don't laugh, you have also seen that my mansion is located in the middle of nowhere, lest some lawbreakers will fight it, so I will let Qinglian be especially careful, and ask her not to let outsiders step into the mansion when I am not in the mansion, otherwise Yucheng will live uneasily." β
"Brother Yucheng is too modest to say this, what is your strength, eldest brother, I don't know, how dare any young person dare to break into your mansion at will. Mu Tiantuo said with a smile on his face.
After all, he is the prince, if he always stands outside the door, he will also lose his dignity, Zhuo Yucheng gave Qinglian a look, signaled her to prepare the arrangements in the house, and then said to Mu Tiantuo: "Oh, Brother Mu has probably waited for a long time, I think he is a little tired, you look at my elm head, I actually let you stand at the door and chat, go, Yucheng will personally lead you into the house, let's go in and sit and talk." Sideways to make way for Mu Tiantuo and lead him to the door.
Xin Yao followed behind the two, rolling her eyes in her heart, this lord who opened his eyes and said nonsense, just heard that Mu Tiantuo was coming in the Second Prince's Mansion, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the second prince, rushed to the vicinity of Hua Wujian early, and observed Mu Tiantuo's movements in a secret place for a long time, obviously it was intended to make people wait for so long, and now she was still acting like this, she didn't know whether she should sympathize with this big prince, or should she understand him Zhuo Yucheng's hard acting.
"Brother Mu's words just now are really lifting jade, presumably Brother Mu has also heard about the fact that the Divine Soldier Pavilion was surrounded and suppressed by gangsters before. Hearing the word encirclement and suppression, Mu Tiantuo's heart froze, Zhuo Yucheng squinted his eyes to see his reaction, and then said: "Now that I think about it, Yucheng is also a little afraid, thinking about how complete the defense in the Divine Weapon Pavilion is, but there are also villains who have a thief's heart and attack the mansion without their lives, not to mention that I, who is located in a remote area, has neither heavy troops nor a secret room, so Yucheng can only raise his vigilance, and I hope that Brother Mu will not be strange." β
At this mention, what else could Mu Tiantuo say, so he had to nod his head and say yes again and again.
After the two of them sat down, Zhuo Yucheng sent Xinyao to make a new pot of tea, and personally poured it for Mu Tiantuo: "Brother Mu came here today, what important matter do you want to discuss with Yucheng?"
Picking up the tea bowl in front of him, Mu Tiantuo gently stirred with the tea cover on the water, and said with a smile: "I came here today to talk to you about the old days and talk about how we should plan in the future." β
Look, look, before we talked about it, our eldest prince took him as his faction without authorization. The method of Yuan Shen transmitting sound, and Xin Yao secretly talked and laughed.
"Brother Mu doesn't want to joke with Yucheng, it's right to reminisce about the past, but.... This planning.... Which one are you referring to?" Zhuo Yucheng took a sip of tea into his throat and asked softly.
Mu Tiantuo looked at Xin Yao behind Zhuo Yucheng, paused, Zhuo Yucheng naturally knew what he meant, so he said: "Xin Yao is not an outsider, if you have anything to say, Brother Mu will say it directly." β
Since this is the case, Mu Tiantuo put his heart in order, and then opened his mouth to Zhuo Yucheng and said: "Yucheng, when you go to the capital, I am afraid that you don't know much about the situation of the court. Now the backbone of the court is the power of the family, the seven families are loyal to the country, and most of the important positions in the court are the children of the family. Speaking of this, Mu Tiantuo paused, observed Zhuo Yucheng's expression, and saw that his face remained unchanged, before he continued: "In contrast, although the poor people are virtuous, but they rarely have the reality of governing the country, they analyze the political Tao to the top, but there are few theories that have been verified, and now the father and the emperor have handed over the post of secretary to a poor scholar, such an important position, how can it be given to such a hairy boy who doesn't know anything?" For this reason, there have been different opinions in the court recently, and the officials also have their own arguments. β
Speaking of which, it is also for the position of the secretary of the ministry, this Brother Mu is really tortuous. It's just that he feels that the official book is in the hands of the people of the cold family, and since then the cold door has a power that is comparable to that of the family.
"Listening to Brother Mu's meaning, do you want to remove this poor man from the position of the secretary of the ministry?" Zhuo Yucheng said, after Mu Tiantuo heard it, his eyes stared straight at him, "Then, with Brother Mu's meaning, is there a suitable candidate for this secretary of the ministry?"
When Mu Tiantuo heard this, he immediately said: "The post of secretary of the ministry, among the family, Meng Xiu, a member of the Meng family, can be appointed to his position, Meng Xiu is very knowledgeable, and he follows Meng Qiushuang all the year round, helps with clerical work, and is also familiar with the way of communication, so he is the most suitable person." "If the official department can be in the hands of Meng Xiu, then he will have three forces in his hands, and his prestige in the court will be even greater.
Meng Xiu: He had never heard of this person, so it seemed that someone had to inquire and find out what the details were. Zhuo Yucheng raised his eyes and tapped his fingers on the lid of the tea bowl.
"This official Shangshu has just been entrusted by the imperial order, unless there is solid evidence to pull him down, otherwise, it will not be easy to change. Zhuo Yucheng glanced at Mu Tiantuo's face on the other side, and then said: "Brother Mu, do you know, what hobbies does the new Shangshu Yang Ming have? When he came back, he asked someone to help find out Yang Ming's news from the side, just to get one step ahead of Mu Tiantuo and get some useful information.
"Cough, don't say it, that Yang Ming has a straight personality, doesn't eat oil and salt, doesn't love money or profit, and really can't find any starting point. Mu Tiantuo waved his hand, recalling that when he wanted to win over Yang Ming, he hit the nail again and again, and he was unhappy.
It seems that the eldest prince has already made a move and tried it in advance. Fortunately, if such a talent is really so easy to recruit, he Zhuo Yucheng can't rest assured.
"Yucheng has a way, I don't know if Brother Mu is willing to hear it?" Zhuo Yucheng said.
Hearing Zhuo Yucheng's words, Mu Tiantuo's eyes lit up, does he really have a way?" β
"Since Brother Mu wants to remove this Yang Ming, then he naturally has to find his weaknesses in order to act conveniently. Listening to what Brother Mu said, Yang Ming is a upright person, and he was born in a poor family, so he is naturally more vigilant about the sons of the family. Zhuo Yucheng analyzed carefully.
"Well, what Yucheng said makes sense. Indeed, if it is replaced by a woman, no matter how hard Yang Ming is, he will be a little lax, "Then in your opinion...."Thinking about it, the woman with a delicate mind and quick thinking is only the one from the Fu family...
"Miss Fu family, Fu Qingqing, Yucheng thought, sending her is very suitable. Fu Qingqing reads poetry and books, often meets friends with poetry, and also makes friends with people from poor families, she is indeed the most suitable candidate.
Mu Tiantuo also nodded in agreement, the Fu family is the head of the country's eunuchs, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and there is no shortage of poor people, presumably Yang Ming will definitely explain to Fu Qingqing.
"Okay! That's great! Let Qingqing try it. Mu Tiantuo slapped his big hand on his leg, and his face couldn't hide his joy.
Zhuo Yucheng also smiled and nodded, in this way, Fu Qingqing's visit to Yang Ming has been arranged, and he should also write a letter to Fu Qingqing and make an appointment to meet him.
