Chapter 27: Powerlessness

Compared with Guan Zhi's loss of power, Liu Xuanruo's expulsion from the palace, Chen Run will be much more miserable. The saint personally issued an order, and Zhou Shuzhan took over in an all-round way, and he would not have any good fruit to eat at all.

He wanted to bite out something, but he knew that he would not be given a chance, and before the people from the Criminal Department came to him, the people of the Shence Army took the first step to catch him and made him look like he committed suicide in fear of crime.

Although Guan Zhi is not a lieutenant of the Shence Army now, if the Shence Army does not rely on Guan Zhi, it will be difficult for it to get ahead.

Rongji, who got this result, was not surprised, it can be said to be expected.

After this incident, Guan Zhi became more and more important and relied on him, but he also became more and more cautious.

Not long after Chen Rungang died, Guan Zhi invited Li Rongzhi to his house.

"Cechen, our family didn't notice it for a while, and it turned out to be Zhou's way. Chen Run is also useless, this time it is thanks to you, if it weren't for your urgency, I'm afraid that that group of people will still bite our family in the court! The old woman of the Queen Mother is also not at peace! even took this opportunity to see the needle and drove Xuanruo out of the palace. Guan Zhi dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and his eyes swept over the young man with outstanding appearance in front of him.

The minister is the word of Rongzhi, the peaceful and prosperous era is called "governance", and the minister of planning is called "strategy". Yuan Jing gave him this name in the hope that he could be a courtier of Kuang Fu Sheji and planning a prosperous era.

Rong Zhi was humble and respectful, and suddenly left a white son, "Righteous father is not angry." Although Zhou won a game this time, Zhou's bite will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the saints. The father-in-law is still on an errand in the Inner Servant Province, still a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is still in the heart of the emperor. Besides, the father-in-law has a five-million errand on Xirong's side in his hands, if this matter is successful, why can't he return to the post of lieutenant of the Shence Army. Moreover, the saint is in his prime, sooner or later he will be in power, and the Zhou family is hindered everywhere, and when the day comes, there will be no good end. ”

This is the flattering gesture that scholars dislike the most, but Rong Zhi's words made Guan Zhi feel a lot more comfortable, he nodded, and said disdainfully: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all holding on to our family." But they can't see the general trend clearly, and they can't even see the situation clearly. In order to bring down our family, he even sent someone to burn the handwriting of the first emperor. It's a pity that the treasury needs money everywhere now, otherwise it will really fulfill their wishes, if there is no family, who will get them this money. ”

When Rong Zhi heard the burning of the first emperor's handwriting, his face was unnatural for a moment, but he still smiled and nodded, "The father-in-law is the humerus of the country, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, I'm afraid that only the father-in-law can dig up this piece of meat from the Xirong people." No matter how many intrigues and tricks they have, it is not as good as their father-in-law being able to do some current affairs for the court. ”

Guan Zhi's eyes were proud, "Those Xirong people fought and suffered losses in the Southern Jin Dynasty, so they put their ideas in the Northern Qi, they were afraid that the Northern Qi and the Southern Jin Dynasty would join forces to chase them and fight, so they rushed to curry favor with our family." If there is no help from our family, let alone trade, even Xichang will not be able to enter. If it weren't for our family, Gu Ling would not have killed them. ”

Rong Zhi's eyes flashed, "Gu Lingxu? ”

Guan Zhi nodded, "Gu Ling is unruly, although he didn't rebel openly, but he has been against the imperial court all these years, and it's almost the same if he doesn't rebel, his father died in the hands of the Xirong people, and he hates the Xirong people!" Under his guard all these years, none of the Xirong merchants could enter the door of Xichang.

The reason why the envoys of Xirong were able to enter Beijing this time was thanks to the fact that our family sent someone to match the bridge and come by the Lijiang River. The thrilling, the soldiers patrolling the Southern Jin Dynasty almost thought that Xirong was coming by water, and almost pierced their hearts with arrows in Linghuadu. ”

"Gu Lingxu is stubborn, and the Zhou family is also eyeing him, I heard that the Zhou family still has the heart to marry Gu Lingxu, if this happens, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to my father-in-law." Rongzhi's eyes darkened slightly.

Guan Zhi sneered, "The Zhou family is really alive and alive." We've heard about this too. actually thought of offering a concubine as a concubine, and the concubine went to marry Gu Lingxu. If the Holy One knows, see what will happen to them. ”

That's what you want, Rong Zhi sank his gaze, the eunuch had bad intentions, and the Zhou family was no better. They put the woman at the side of the saint, for fear that they would slander the saint.

"It's just stupid." Guan Zhi sneered, and continued: "The Zhou family wants to marry Gu Lingxu, and wants to use this as an opportunity to win over the army of Xichang for their own use and deal with our family together. They want to get beauty, but they also have to see if Gu Lingxu has the fate to go to Beijing to marry. ”

Rong Zhi was startled and looked up in doubt.

Guan Zhi smiled meaningfully, patted Rong Zhi's shoulder, and did not continue the topic, "Cechen, now that Chen Run is dead, there are not many people that our family can rely on." ”

"I am willing to saddle the horse and the horse for my father-in-law." Rong Zhi hurriedly said.

"Good, good." Guan Zhi smiled with satisfaction, "This time our family has suffered a loss, Xirong's affairs must be done well, and our family is too busy." Chen Run still has some dirty things over there, you go and clean your tail. There is also Pingkangfang, you show our family, if something happens, notify our family in time, but don't act rashly. ”

"Yes." Rongji nodded.

"Nothing strange has happened in the time you've been living in Pingkangfang, right?" Guan Zhi looked at Rong Zhi fixedly.

Rong Zhi looked at Guan Zhi, "I have been running back and forth these days, but I haven't paid much attention to what happened. It's just that Qin Qinghong noticed it when he traveled that day, but unfortunately someone stopped him and failed to inform his father-in-law. ”

"It's not your fault." Rong Zhi waved his hand and raised his eyelids, "The Zhou family has a deliberate layout, you can't prevent it, but this time they lost King Kang, I don't know if Princess Kang is there, they can't take it?" ”

Rong Zhi echoed with a smile, "That's what my father-in-law said. ”

After returning to Pingkangfang, Rong Zhi was completely uneasy, and he kept wondering what the sentence "Does Gu Lingxu have the life to marry in Beijing" just now.

What does it mean that Gu Lingxu has that life? What does this mean? Did he send someone to attack Gu Lingxu?

If that's the case, then who planned this game? The beginning of this matter was Qin Qinghong, and now Qin Qinghong has disappeared, and King Kang has not been found.

He checked Qin Qinghong's recent interpersonal contacts, and Qin Qinghong was closed for a long time. One of the few contacts was with a southwestern merchant.

And the businessman stayed in Xichang all the year round, and he already doubted that it was Gu Lingxu's layout. But looking at Guan Zhi's appearance of victory, his idea was shaken again.

For a while, he didn't know whether Gu Lingxu's layout was better for the situation in Northern Qi, or if the Southern Jin layout was better for Northern Qi.

The Southern Jin Dynasty is eyeing each other, Xirong is not good, Gu Lingxu will not rebel, the two parties in the country are fighting, and the emperor in the DPRK does not seem to be wise.

The feeling of powerlessness came again, and the alley back to Pingkangfang was narrow and long, as if there was no end in sight.

The sky was full of dark clouds, and the rain was brewing, and there was no shelter from the rain in this lane, so it seemed that he had chosen the wrong path this time.

Rong Zhi sighed, and simply let the rain hit his body, he couldn't avoid it anyway.
