Chapter 203: Notoriety Spreads
Liang Dagong thought about it, and quickly recalled-
Not long ago, he heard the prince talk about Zhou Daoan, and the prince listened to others...... The things mentioned are the same thing as what the two sons of the Zhou family said today.
Today, I listened to the version of the two parties of the Zhou family, the focus is on the composition, the cause and effect are only brought over, and the position is naturally different from what the prince heard. However, the prince's side is honest and has changed a few hands, and here are the two parties, and the latter is definitely superior in terms of credibility - it's not that Liang Dagong doesn't trust the prince, but he knows that the person who let the prince know about this matter is in conflict with Zhou Daoan!
If there is a contradiction, then the opponent will definitely add oil and vinegar to the mouth! Himself and the prince are inevitably preconceived.
In fact, the balance in Liang Dagong's heart is tilted, or because of Zhou Daoxuan's identity, he who is half a fan is more willing to believe the words of this hero...... In addition, I just watched a good play, and the last song taught people's blood to boil, Liang Dagong is very "fair" to think that the person who writes such a free and heroic song must not be a villain!
Under the advantages of this and the other, Liang Dagong already has a plan.
"The two sons, I really don't hide from each other, this time I came to the Zhou family to watch the ceremony, and our family really brought a prince's message." With a good plan, Liang Dagong put down the teacup, and didn't insist on looking for Zhou Daoan to come, and said directly to Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan-
"The confluence of the East and West Zhou, the imperial court agreed. It's not a complicated issue, and it's a good thing, but ......
"Just two days before our family left, the prince suddenly became concerned about this matter. He confessed to our family, came to Yuzhang, and took a good look at what kind of person the young master of the Western Zhou family was!
"Because on the prince's side, I happened to hear about the prince of Dao'an in the Western Zhou Dynasty...... Bad rumors. This made the prince feel that the confluence of the Eastern and Western Zhou would bring the Western Zhou back to the protection of the original sect, so that a person who might be a villain would deceive the Zhou family...... This is not good for the reputation of the Zhou family, so the prince explained that if our family finds out that this matter is conclusive, then we must persuade Wen Yuangong not to merge the East and West Zhou. ”
As soon as he said this, Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan suddenly understood in their hearts - the same as what Zhou Wenyuan, Zhou Wenbo and even Zhou Daoan had guessed before. Liang Dagong didn't have a good impression of Zhou Daoan, someone must have done it first, and the purpose was to add chaos to the confluence of the Eastern and Western Zhou.
What affected the reputation of the Zhou family, and what made this sect deceived by the Western Zhou Dynasty...... This is all good, in the final analysis, the gang behind it has a clear purpose, and they are going to Zhou Daoan. Don't let the Eastern and Western Zhou converge, and the blow is not only the Western Zhou. As long as the merger fails, some rumors are released, and the Eastern Zhou will be frustrated because of this matter, and its reputation among the people will be greatly affected.
However, what kind of person is so powerful that he gives Zhou Daoan eye medicine by the prince's side? Zhou Daoan has never even been out of Yuzhang in his life, how could he get into trouble and go to Yongjing?
Seeing the puzzled looks of Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan, Liang Dagong added:
"The current prince's teacher, Mrs. Xia...... Not long ago, I suddenly took leave and returned home. The reason is that the old lady of the Xia family has suffered a stroke......"
Xia family?!
As soon as this title came out, Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan immediately reacted! Xia Taifu Xia Minru is Xia Chengyin's father!
Xia Chengyin has been "defeated" by Zhou Daoan half a year ago, not to mention the shame, and was persuaded by the old master Ren Cong to retire directly from the public school, and returned to Lichuan in disgrace. In the following six months, there was no news from this person, and the students in the public school would not take the initiative to mention it, and over time, Zhou Daoan and they all forgot about it.
Just now in order to introduce Zhou Daoan's composition, Zhou Daoqi mentioned Xia Chengyin, as for how Xia Chengyin had a grudge with Zhou Daoan, this matter was too long, so he didn't mention it.
This made Liang Dagong feel that the other party did not intend to mention this grudge.
However, now that he hears the Xia family, where can Zhou Daoqi not react? It's just that why did Mrs. Xia's father have a stroke, and how did this matter involve Zhou Daoan?
Zhou Daoxuan gave Zhou Daoqi a look, and Zhou Daoqi immediately looked like "I don't understand, I'll ask" and asked Liang Dagong for advice.
Liang Dagong has already said a lot, and now he is no longer deliberately concealing it, and said directly:
"Xia Taifu is a minister that the prince respects and relies on very much. This time I took leave and returned to my hometown, if it was a short term, but I heard that Mrs. Xia had a very serious stroke and was almost in danger of death. Mrs. Xia naturally wanted to stay by his father's side and fulfill his filial piety...... But in this way, without a reliance on the prince's side, many things will be difficult to maintain.
"It just so happened that a few years ago, the saint decreed that the prince would start to manage the government and hand over some affairs to the East Palace. But without Taifu Xia, the other subordinate officials of the East Palace are not in the decision, and it will be difficult for the prince to do it, and the efficiency of handling affairs has slowed down, and it is inevitable that he will be disliked by the saint.
The prince inevitably missed Mrs. Xia even more, and sent people to greet Mrs. Xia five times, and even invited the doctor to help treat him, and finally knew that Mrs. Xia's illness was mainly a heart disease, and the reason was that his grandson, Mrs. Xia's only son, was studying......
"The prince heard that this Xia Gongzi was originally doing well in Yuzhang Public School, but he was jointly excluded by several locals of the public school, and even blinded the teachings of the public school - I heard that Old Lady Xia has pleaded with Ren Jiao several times, and Ren Jiao did not let go of his mouth to let Xia Gongzi return to school, which made Old Lady Xia fall ill!"
Liang Dagong is a "no city", and as soon as he said that, he almost came out. Seeing that Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan's faces were strange, he added: "The reputation of the teaching oracle is famous, and the Xia family naturally doesn't think there is anything wrong with his old man, but they think even more that these few gentlemen in Yuzhang are really bad!" Especially the leader is Zhou Daoan, the son of the Western Zhou Dynasty who bullied his classmates under the banner of the Zhou family.
"As a disciple of Xia Taifu, the prince is in trouble, so he naturally wants to do his part. Mrs. Xia didn't want to mention it, but she couldn't stand the prince's repeated questions, so she reluctantly said it...... That's why our family will come this time with the prince's explanation, and see if we can persuade the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not to merge first......"
Having said that, the matter is completely clear.
The prince is known as "benevolent", and he may be more of a person with soft ears and poor ability to do things. The saint asked the prince to exercise his "business ability", but the prince relied on Xia Taifu very much.
There is a high probability that Mrs. Xia is an old coin with a black belly, and on the surface he never mentions family matters, but in fact, he simply picks the pick, and uses the name of Mrs. Xia's serious illness. It's also a good time card, and it happened to be in the Holy Lord's time to let the prince "intern".
This undoubtedly put the prince on the fire and made the prince extremely anxious. kept caring, the more he cared, the more he didn't say anything, the more the prince wanted to ask, and finally "forced" to reveal the news, and naturally the prince took it seriously.
In addition, the Xia family shrewdly focused the contradictions on Zhou Daoan - the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a traditional family, and it was too large to move easily; Old Master Ren is famous, and I am afraid that he will lose if he moves; There are only orphans and widows in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is very easy to deal with! Of course, the premise of dealing with the Western Zhou is not to let the two weeks converge! If this matter is stopped, Western Zhou will have no backer! Once Dong Zhou knew that the cause of the confluence was Zhou Daoan's problem, Zhou Zhou's attitude would be even worse......
Zhou Daoqi immediately "filled with righteous indignation", and took the initiative to provoke Zhou Daoan about how bad Xia Chengyin was, but he stole chickens and rice, and put his degree into it completely.
When Liang Dagong heard this, he didn't say that he didn't believe it, but just said: "To tell the truth, our family doesn't have any likes and dislikes for Dao'an Gongzi, but the prince is far away in the capital, and he has a preconceived impression, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reverse." This time, even if our family passes this matter, the prince will be affected after the can't be maintained......"
It's the truth. Liang Dagong was able to reverse his perception of Zhou Daoan in just one day because the Zhou family had his pulse. But the prince does not have such conditions, and judging from the status of Xia Taifu, the prince must be more oriented to his master.
"Grand Duke, I can't hide it, this confluence of the East and West Zhou is a major event for our Zhou family! When it was reported to the imperial court, it was agreed, but it's not good to backtrack, right? Even if the prince wants to relieve the prince's worries, he can't take this matter as the object! Please also ask Dagong Liang to help my Zhou family talk to the prince...... The Zhou family must be grateful for the righteous act! ”
Zhou Daoxuan and Liang Dagong "heart-to-heart" said.
“…… Daoxuan Gongzi said so, our family naturally wants to help. But...... To be honest, the root of this matter is still with Mrs. Xia! The prince can't do without Xia Taifu, this is Xia Taifu's biggest reliance, for so many years, our family has been doing things in the East Palace, and I haven't seen any of Xia's words that the prince doesn't listen to......" Liang Dagong said with a frown.
Speaking of this, Zhou Daoxuan had no choice but to ask Grand Duke Liang again to tell the truth of the matter in front of the prince. Liang Dagong also said that he would immediately send a letter to the prince through the teleportation array when he returned......
Then, although he persuaded him to drink again, his interest was exhausted, and Liang Dagong, accompanied by the two sons, returned to the Huizilou and wrote a letter to the prince overnight. Anyway, the prince's schedule is relatively late......
Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan took the news and went directly to Zhou Wenyuan's study, at this time, Zhou Wenbo and Zhou Daoan both arrived one step earlier.
"I've already told my two uncles about it." Zhou Daoan spoke for the first time - it turned out that at the end of the play, he left the box and quietly went outside the box of Duke Liang, and heard the conversation between the two sides throughout the whole process. After all, with the help of Lin Jiafeng, it is not a problem for Zhou Daoan to use a "special channel" at all.
Therefore, before Zhou Daoqi and Zhou Daoxuan returned, Zhou Daoan had already discussed with the two uncles for a long time.
"There is no need to be too alarmed in this matter, just judging from the current situation, the prince has no intention of letting Liang Dagong stop it strongly, otherwise it will not be an edict, but a will. As long as the misunderstanding between the prince and us is cleared up, the convergence can still be carried out. ”
