Chapter 62: Is it a brother-in-law or a husband?
readx;
Just when many people watched coldly, waiting for the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Zhang family to fight, the news of Liang Rang's sudden illness quickly spread throughout Hangzhou City, and many people were stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh at the Metropolitan Procuratorate for being spineless, so soon they were frightened by the dozens of corpses on the ferry outside Hangzhou, and they didn't have the courage to compete with the Zhang family again.

It's just that what is incomprehensible is that Liang Rang did not choose to let Wang Defu, the older and higher-status household servant, take over, but let Chu Nan take charge of all the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The good deeds can only say a few words sourly, the family background is good, and they really take advantage of it anywhere, and it is suspected that it is the background of the Chu family that allows Chu Nan to overpower Wang Defu, but Chu Nan is also one of the two deputy chiefs, Liang Rang fell ill, and it was also in line with the rules for Chu Nan to take over, and no one could find fault with it.
In any case, Liang Rang fell ill, and Chu Nan's ascension to the throne became the hottest topic in Hangzhou for a while, overshadowing the inexhaustible Oiran competition and the Northern Expedition of the army, which had been fruitless.
Jian Cong told Jian Rong the news of Chu Nan's promotion in a tone full of envy.
I didn't think anything about it when I drank with him a few days ago, but I didn't expect Chu Nan to be promoted in a few days, and he was not an ordinary official, it was a genuine Qincha!
From now on, the subordinate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the household department, and the local yamen will have to behave when they see Chu Nan, if Chu Nan wants to wear small shoes, it is just a matter of one sentence, and the power of life and death is in his hands.
Jian Rong has been pondering since hearing the news, looking at Jian Cong's face full of envy, he opened his mouth and said: "Look at your appearance, Chu Nan was able to do the main thing this time, not only because of the good opportunity to fall ill, but also because of the ability and background, what do you envy, you can hone for a few years with peace of mind, and you will not be worse than him in the future." ”
Jian Cong pursed his lips and muttered, "I don't see how capable he is, but the women around him are more beautiful than the other." ”
Jian Rong was so angry that he shuddered, and scolded loudly: "Bastard, I only know which woman is beautiful every day, so I don't want to think about the ability of His Majesty to appoint him to Jiangnan? ”
Jian Cong smiled dryly and stepped forward to help Jian Rong pat his back, and said, "Isn't the child young, and he doesn't see as far as you?" ”
Jian Rong was angry, glared at Jian Cong with hatred, and explained: "Chu Nan is not favored in the Chu family, and his reputation in the capital is not good, but these are not important. As my father heard that he was in front of the Yang family at the beginning, he was the head of the analysis of the situation in Jiangnan without stage fright, and even dared to sing against Yang Shouye in front of His Majesty, shouting that he would use the army to destroy the Zhang family when necessary, although his tone was more domineering and intense, but it catered to His Majesty's mind, and naturally left a deep impression in His Majesty's heart. ”
Jian Cong tugged at the corners of his mouth and muttered, "With the army?"
Jian Rong said earnestly: "This is his cleverness, the most taboo for courtiers is too smart and perfect, to learn to show some shortcomings, greedy for money when you should be greedy, lustful when you should be lustful, and dare to contradict anyone when you should not know current affairs, sometimes arrogant and inconsiderate can also be an advantage in the eyes of Your Majesty." As long as you follow Your Majesty's thoughts, everything is easy to say, and you will have to figure out more of these truths when you go to the capital in the future. ”
Jian Cong didn't seem to understand, and asked with a dry smile: "In that case, Liang Yushi is probably pretending to be sick?" He is really relieved to let Chu Nan take charge, in case Chu Nan can't fight the Zhang family, he really uses the army to level the Zhang family, and he will be mighty." ”
Jian Rong was very relieved when he heard the first half of the sentence, and just wanted to say that the son was teachable, but he choked on a sip of tea from Jian Cong's second half of the sentence, and couldn't help but scold: "Bastard, mighty fart! Not to mention whether the army will listen to him, is it possible that you are here to watch a play in Hangzhou? With me, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Zhang family will not be able to turn the sky upside down." ”
Jian Congzheng was happy to speak, but unexpectedly made Jian Rong angry again, and said with a bitter face: "Then Dad, what did Liang Yushi ask Chu Nan to take over? ”
Jian Rong slowly shook his head and said, "You can't go overboard, it's not that you can't fight." Maybe after a while, if they can't fight, I'll have to pick out the contradictions for them to fight. ”
Jian Cong felt that he was like a stupid child today, his brain had not been enough, but fortunately Jian Cong was a good child, and he had to ask if he didn't understand, so he said: "Why is the child more confused the more he listens, Dad, tell me about it in detail." ”
Jian Rong sighed and said softly, "It all depends on Your Majesty's mind. His Majesty has always been angry about the arrogance of these gate lords of the Zhang family, and some time ago, the Northern Expedition army lost many soldiers, and happened to hear about the pirates outside Hangzhou City openly intercepting and killing the witnesses of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was so angry that he turned the table and wrote a letter to his father a few days ago, saying that he should not let go of the Zhang family if he had the opportunity. ”
Jian Cong thought of a lot of things from his father's words, it turned out that His Majesty had always wanted to give the Zhang family the color, it turned out that the Northern Expedition was not as smooth as the legend, and it would also lose a large number of soldiers, it turned out that there were so many twists and turns!
Jian Rong looked at his son, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Do you know how my father replied to His Majesty's letter? ”
Jian Cong was surprised and whispered, "Isn't Dad afraid that Your Majesty will think that you are careful to hold grudges?"
Jian Rong shook his head and sighed: "You still don't understand, the combination of grudge and caution and loyalty and honesty is not a disadvantage, but an advantage." ”
Jane Cong was completely confused.
Zhang Pu was also a little confused.
Zhang Pu heard the news that Liang Rang was sick and Chu Nan was on the throne and hurriedly came to report the good news, Liang Rangdu began to pretend to be sick, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate finally admitted defeat again.
But Zhang Pu didn't expect that his eldest brother Zhang Yong didn't have any joy on his face when he heard the news, but frowned.
Zhang Yong looked at Zhang Pu, who was full of apprehension and doubts, and said slowly: "You have to keep an eye on Hebisheng, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not dare to do anything for a while, cover up what should be covered up as soon as possible, don't be caught." ”
Zhang Pu became more and more confused, and asked carefully: "Liang Rangdu began to pretend to be sick, can that kid of the Chu family be more powerful than that old fox?" Big brother, are you too careful?"
Zhang Yong glanced at Zhang Pu, shook his head and said: "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but I am afraid that the kid will be stunned and stupid and don't know the severity, and he will be ruthless, according to the past things, he and that Wang Defu have no good impression of the Zhang family, Liang Rang may not be thinking about using this kid as a gunman to test the bottom line of the surname Zhang family." ”
Zhang Pu frowned and snorted coldly: "That kid has never taken the Zhang family in his eyes, but the eldest brother can't be afraid of a hairy boy, how will the Jiangnan families think of us in the future?"
Zhang Yong frowned, the Zhang family considered itself to be the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, this first Zhang family ushered in huge prestige and wealth, and also brought huge pressure to the Zhang family, the glory of the first family of the Zhang family cannot be lost, and no one will be allowed to dare to provoke the majesty of the Zhang family!
The more Zhang Yong thinks about it, the more tired he becomes, over the years, for the glory of the Zhang family, the Zhang family has made countless enemies, and even been forced to fight with the royal family, until now Zhang Yong has felt more and more difficult to support, but it is a pity that the people of the Zhang family have become accustomed to this glory and dignity, even if they are the head of the family, they cannot disobey the will of the entire family.
However, Zhang Yong knew that if it continued like this, something would happen sooner or later.
Zhang Yong rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, waved his hand and said: "Second brother, you go and deal with the matter of Hebisheng first, and then go to the territory of the Lian family outside the city to bring those secretly trained private soldiers to the old mansion, first stabilize people's hearts and show momentum." You're right, the majesty of the Zhang family doesn't allow a hairy boy to provoke. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yong sighed in his heart, thinking, this is the last time, after the incident, we must teach the family to be soft and compromise, after all, the current Liang royal family only has the Li family, and the Son of Heaven is only Emperor Liang.
Zhang Pu rushed out, and naturally went to bring the private soldiers who kept the Zhang family's secret in the private territory outside the city, those people are the proof of the Zhang family's former royal identity, they are all the descendants of the original Imperial Forest Army!
As for the matter of Hebisheng, Zhang Pu thought disdainfully, Liang Rang that old fox can't do anything, do you still expect a hairy boy to fail? Take your time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be soft, and the Zhang family will always be glorious.
Yang Lin didn't care about anything else, she just happily pulled Chu Nan and said, "Lord Liang should have fallen ill a long time ago, so that brother-in-law you can be promoted early." ”
Chu Nan rolled his eyes, very speechless at Yang Lin's logic, and explained: "Stupid, since Lord Liang can get sick at any time, he can naturally recover his health at any time. Now he has given me power, if I mess up, he just needs to stay sick, and then all the blame will naturally be borne by me, if I am lucky enough to open up the situation, he can stand up again and finish, and then the biggest credit will have to be his. ”
Yang Lin naturally didn't understand these twists and turns of officialdom, his eyes widened after hearing this, and then he said indignantly: "He is also too cunning, so he makes you responsible instead of handing over power to Wang Shilang, just to see that you have a low status and low qualifications and are easy to bully?"
Chu Nan smiled and nodded: "Finally smarter, Lord Wang is the emperor's family, his qualifications are older than Lord Liang, and his connections are not comparable to Lord Liang." Besides, if Wang Shilang makes a contribution, Lord Liang can't grab it if he wants to. ”
Yang Lin frowned and said angrily: "Isn't this a blatant bully? If you smash it together, you will be punished, and if you do it well, you will receive the merit! You can't do this errand!"
Chu Nan grabbed Yang Lin, who looked excited, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I don't don't know that credit." Anyway, whether he can grab it by that time is another matter, isn't it?"
Yang Lin tilted his head and thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, when the time comes, I will go back and tell my father, let him go and make it clear to His Majesty, I must not let him succeed!"
Chu Nan looked at Yang Lin, who was full of confidence with his fists clenched, and asked with a smile, "How can you talk to your father about me, brother-in-law or husband?"
Yang Lin was ashamed, blushed and pushed Chu Nan out of the door, then quickly closed the door, leaned against the door, covered his chest and gasped, and said stupidly: "Brother-in-law or husband?" Of course it is............ Hehe, can't say it!"
