Chapter 336

On the way back to the leopard room, Liu Zhong's mood was very conflicted, on the one hand, he doubted Zhang Yong's motive for saying these words, and on the other hand, Zhang Yong's words also touched the weakness in his heart.

Originally, Liu Zhong also had expectations for the new position in the inner court, he thought that he was a figure in front of Liu Jin, the more powerful he was, the more he could feel the benefits of power, and the more he was eager for greater power, which Liu Zhong realized more and more.

In the past, I groveled and was blinded everywhere, but now I am surrounded by infinite scenery, and everywhere I go, I am followed by a group of flattering eyes. But Liu Zhong understands that he is still only a junior in the inner court, and compared to Gao Feng and Wei Bin and other veteran fathers-in-law around Liu Jin, he is not a character, and he is not less regarded and despised by these people.

Liu Zhong originally didn't think there was anything wrong with being discriminated against and blinded by Gao Feng and Wei Bin, after all, those people were all powerful people with old qualifications in the inner court, and it was normal for his own junior to be despised by them; But Liu Zhong has always had some considerations of his own in his heart, from the moment he was taken by Liu Jin and secretly became a pawn in the Imperial Horse Prison to monitor Gu Dayong, Liu Zhong understood that Liu Jin and Gao Feng Wei Bin Gu Dayong were actually not monolithic between them, and it was evident that Gonggong Liu secretly placed people to monitor them.

Gu Da used himself as his eyes, and others obviously also had eyeliner around him, which almost didn't need to be deliberately confirmed, that is to say, Liu Jin was actually not at ease with the rest of the Eight Tigers.

Liu Zhong will always be a humble and wordless image in front of Liu Jin, and because of this, Liu Jin is extremely important to himself, and sometimes he will reveal some important things to himself. Liu Zhong always thought that he was an absolute confidant in Liu Jin's mind, but he was indeed a little disappointed that night, the candidates for those positions were always turning around in the heads of Gao Fenggu Dayong Wei Bin and other Eight Tiger Old Men, Liu Jin didn't think about himself at all, which made Liu Zhong both disappointed and angry at the same time.

Of course, Liu Zhong's anger can only be put in his heart, he has no idea of fighting at all, due to the power of Liu Jin and the rest of the Eight Tigers, he does not think that he is qualified to fight, but the sense of humiliation that is ignored by others still lingers.

Today, Zhang Yong's words hit the soft spot in his heart again, Zhang Yong's words are what he thinks in his heart, what kind of thing is Gu Da using them? Didn't he come to power after Liu Jin overthrew Wang Yue and Fan Heng? In terms of ability and ability, I definitely don't lose to them, why do all good things fall on their heads? is the impression in the emperor's mind, Liu Zhong also thinks that he is not inferior to Gu Dayong and others.

Liu Zhong felt that it was a pity to let go of this opportunity, and he always had to give it a try if he thought about it, even if there was little hope, it was better than doing nothing and fighting for nothing. He even has a vicious mentality: even if he can't get one of these positions, he must make every effort to stir it up, and he can't let others ignore his own existence, things can not be done, and momentum cannot be lost.

Liu Zhong is not stupid, he also knows that he obviously can't make any big waves by himself, and for the sake of self-protection, it is unwise for him to be the first bird to make trouble.

In the evening, Liu Jin accompanied the emperor to the leopard room to rest, after the banquet singing and dancing, the emperor hugged the recently favored Ma Mei and Chen Meiren to sleep together, the emperor went to bed, and the day's errand was basically over.

After sending Liu Jin away, Liu Zhong and Qian Ning, the head of the leopard room, and Zhang Rui, the deputy head of the leopard room transferred by another celebrant supervisor, shrank back to the public house on the side of the leopard room to roast the fire, these three people were all pulled up by Liu Jin, and the relationship between them is not bad, since the beginning of winter, they have to cook a pot of beef and mutton in the public house every night to drink wine and chat, and today is of course no exception.

The aroma of the hot pot stew was overflowing, and the three of them pushed the cup and drank some wine, all of them were a little smoky, and they gradually became unscrupulous when they spoke, Liu Zhong sifted the wine for the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Have the two brothers ever heard the wind?" ”

Qian Ning's face turned red, grabbed a leg of mutton and chewed it, and asked, "What wind?" ”

Zhang Rui, the white fat man, also said: "Deputy Chief Manager Liu's news spirit, what unreliable news has you gotten again?" ”

Liu Zhong smiled and said: "This time it's not unreliable pastime news, this time it's a fierce news, it's about the appointment of the new West Factory and the Inner Factory and the East Factory Governor." ”

Qian Ning and Zhang Rui were stunned and said, "Didn't you say that it hasn't been finalized yet?" The west factory and the inner factory are still in preparation, and they have not yet opened the office, so how can the candidates be determined in February and March after the year. ”

Liu Zhong was stunned and said, "The two brothers don't know this news? ”

Qian Ning Zhang Rui shook his head to indicate that he didn't know at all, Liu Zhong was stunned, and his expression suddenly hesitated; Zhang Rui said: "Come and listen, do you still want to keep it a secret from us?" ”

Liu Zhong sighed and sat down and said: "Hey, that's it, since that's the case, it's okay to say it, let's nest in this leopard room every day, the news is really stuffy, and they have become blind and deaf, as far as I know, the candidate has already been decided." ”

"Guilty?" Qian Ning Zhang Rui frowned.

"yes, it's settled." Liu Zhong took a sip of wine, grabbed a piece of lamb chop and munched on it.

"Brother Liu, tell me quickly, what is the internal law?" Zhang Rui stretched his neck and asked in a low voice, Qian Ning listened with his ears sideways, but he was very indifferent.

"The inner factory is supervised by Gonggong Liu." Liu Zhongdao.

"Need you talk about this? You can think of it with your ass. Zhang Rui waved his hand with a look of disappointment: "This is also news?" The general leader of the inner factory, the factory guard, and Liu Gonggong naturally wanted to be the commander. ”

Liu Zhong waved his hand and said: "The West Factory is supervised by the Imperial Horse Supervisor Gu Gonggong, and the vacated position of the East Factory is by Gao Feng, have you thought of this?" ”

The expressions on the faces of Qian Ning and Zhang Rui were extremely unnatural.

"Gu Dayong Admiral West Factory? Isn't Grandpa Liu worried about him? How did such an important errand fall to him again? Gao Feng doesn't have any skills at all, he is a gangster in the master of ceremonies, and he can actually supervise Dongchang, what a fucking ......" Zhang Rui scolded and threw the wine cup in his hand on the table, and the residual wine in it flowed out, making a big mess.

"Brother Liu, where did you get this news from? Why don't we all know? Qian Ning asked with a frown.

"Brother Qian, brother won't hide it from you, Gonggong Liu was drunk the night before, and I listened to him when I was serving tea on the side; I thought you knew it, but I didn't expect you to know, it seems that Father-in-law Liu didn't plan to announce it, and the two brothers want to keep it secret for me, and teach Father-in-law Liu to know that I talk nonsense, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten up. ”

Zhang Rui sneered: "Brother Liu Zhong has been hot recently, Grandpa Liu only told you about such things, and even we were kept in the dark." ”

Liu Zhong said angrily: "Brother Zhang, Hugh has to say such things, what is hot? I guess it's also Father-in-law Liu who said that he leaked his mouth after drinking; Our brothers are not happy with their lives now, if you want to say that it is hot, Gu Da uses Gao Feng and they are, do you see? The east and west factories are round, and we are not a leg in the eyes of Grandpa Liu. ”

Zhang Rui hammered the table and cursed a few words: "Damn, it's really tight." ”

Liu Zhong waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang is angry, don't make trouble; Actually, I don't care about this matter, no one can take my turn Liu Zhong, I just feel guilty for Brother Qian, Brother Qian has saved Father-in-law Liu's life. If it weren't for Song Nan's obstruction, he would have become the commander of the Jinyi Wei Han general; Now he has a title of the second head of the East Factory to work in the leopard room, although the emperor is also important, after all, he feels that he is condescending. If you want me to say that the position of the superintendent of the West Factory should be held by Brother Qian, I don't know what Gonggong Liu thinks in his heart. ”

Zhang Rui nodded and said: "That's it, our family thinks the same way, the worst thing this time is that the overseer of the East Factory is also Brother Qian, but let Gao Feng pick up the cheapness; Brother Qian is the second head of the East Factory, this time it is good, but it has become a hand for Gao Feng. ”

Zhang Zhong sighed: "Yes, yes, Brother Qian, regardless of his martial arts ability, has exploded that Gao Fenggu is a few streets away, and it makes people depressed to think about." ”

Zhang Rui and Liu Zhong hugged Qian Ning for each word, Qian Ning drank the wine with a gloomy face, and suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "You two still don't let Lao Tzu be clean?" Shut up. ”

Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui hurriedly stopped their mouths, and as soon as Qian Ning became angry, these two people had to admit it, not because he was the head of the leopard room, but because Qian Ning had been red and purple in front of the emperor recently; Qian Ning is not a eunuch, but he is not a eunuch, but he can come and go freely in a place like the leopard room, which is full of palace maids and concubines, and he can stay here at night, which shows that the emperor is extraordinary to him.

Qian Ning is not a martial artist, in addition to being strong in martial arts, he can do what he likes to teach to meet the emperor's desire to dance with knives and guns, Qian Ning also has the ingenuity to open up hunting grounds on Qionghua Island, and breed wild animals to hunt with the emperor, which is highly praised by the emperor. It's Liu Jin, who is usually sour, and Zan Qianning, who is also sour, has a delicate mind and is all-powerful, and admits that there are some ideas that he can't even think of.

Liu Zhong secretly observed Qian Ning, seeing that Qian Ning's face was really angry, he was secretly proud in his heart, he just had the idea of muddying the water if he couldn't catch the fish, he just wanted Qian Ning to be angry and make trouble, he only needed to wave the flag and shout in the back, maybe in the end he could get some benefits.

"Brother Qian, you are angry and have to say a few words, brother is really not worth it for you, when I heard about your deeds of rescuing Gonggong Liu from the army, my brothers were fascinated, but you made such a great contribution, and in the end, it was not as good as Gu Da using Gao Feng, and he really vomited blood." Liu Zhong began to add fuel to the fire.

"Shut up, do you want to talk more about Lao Tzu?" Qian Ning slapped the table and said angrily.

Liu Zhong hurriedly said: "Okay, good, when a brother is cheap, when a brother doesn't say it, don't hurt the harmony between brothers." ”

Zhang Rui also said: "Yes, Mr. Qian, Deputy Manager Liu is also holding grievances for you, and it is also a good intention." ”

Qian Ning snorted, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one sip, and said angrily: "Is there a bird for holding unevenness? There are so many unfair things in this world, what can I do? Since you said that this is the candidate set by Gonggong Liu, can I still ask Gonggong Liu to change his mind? ”

Zhang Rui scratched his head and said: "That's what I said, Gonggong Liu said nothing about it, and he hated others to do it with him the most, and it was not worth it if he annoyed him." ”

Liu Zhong sneered and said, "But there may not be no way." ”
