Chapter 428: The Use of Ruan Ling
Ruan Ling is just a gentleman, the Queen Mother has never paid much attention to him, even if there was an incident in which Xue Luli was punished by the public rod to set an example, it has long been forgotten with the successful implementation of the hidden order, Dou Fu'an naturally will not spend the limited manpower on insufficient personnel, but the surveillance of the Xu Guogong Mansion has never been relaxed, so since Ruan Ling inexplicably came to the door to "learn art", he naturally has to find out the reason for the fact.
Then he said: "Ruan Lang's temperament is indeed weird, when he was scolded by Xue Xuanzhi according to the law, not only did he not hold a grudge, but he actually had a sense of intimacy, more than a year, often go to Xue's house to visit, but Xue Xuanzhi has always been respectful and far away, Ruan Lang was treated coldly, never discouraged, knowing that he would be rejected, but every New Year's Festival, he will also prepare gifts to send to, and even plan to be introduced by He Shishilang, and often go to Shangqingguan to walk around, some time ago, somehow got an opportunity, and actually offered great hospitality to Xue Xuanzhi's concubine, Xue Xiaolangjun was so young that it was not good to reach out to the smiling man, but he met him a few times. ”
Only then did the Queen Mother remember that she seemed to have heard Jin An complain earlier, saying that Ruan Ling seemed to have fallen into evil, and that he was high up on the golden branches and jade leaves, and was beaten by someone and sent to the door to please her, but the Queen Mother only heard a joke at that time, and did not care.
I didn't expect this kid to be really evil, and he had a temperament that never took people seriously, but he was convinced by Xue Luli's big stick.
"Two days earlier, Ruan Lang went to see Xue Xiaolang again, but I heard that he was sent to Xu Guogong's mansion to listen to teaching, Xu was to further make friends with Xue Xiaolang, and to make friends with Xue Xuanzhi in a roundabout way, so he made a fuss about worshipping Cui Tianbai as a teacher, Cui Tianbai couldn't cry or laugh, but Xu Guogong seemed to be quite relieved and agreed to Ruan Ling's request." Dou Fu'an was careful and questioned again: "Xu Guogong Taoguang has been in obscurity for many years, but recently he has agreed to teach Xue Xiaolang and Ruan Lang, I don't know if there is any attempt. ”
Regarding Xue Zhao's apprenticeship, the Queen Mother got the news a few days ago, and she didn't think it mattered - Xue Luli's sister is Cui's wife, although Xu Guogong and Xue Zizhan have no dealings with the two old things, but the two mansions are in-laws, Lu Li and his sister-in-law Cui Tianbai will inevitably have courtesy exchanges, Jingzhao Cui Yanzong, together with Cui Zheng's ancestors and grandchildren in the three generations are now only scattered officials, and they have long faded out of the court, but Cui's family is a famous family after all, Cui Zheng's father and son do not mention it, and even Cui Tianbai is also full of learning, although he is not involved in the political situation, he is a professor every day, There are still some relatives and friends who will send their children to Cui's Mansion to be taught, but most of them are immature, Xu Guogong wants to know that the Queen Mother does not reduce his taboos against him, and restricts his family from never walking around too closely with people in the court, so even Xu Guogong's old friends, as long as they are still in the court, have been cut off.
But Xu Guogong has a temperament, that is, he attaches great importance to his children's schoolwork, especially those who are talented and diligent in learning, and if there are children who are valued by him, they will also be personally advised.
For example, Xue Zhao originally worshipped Cui Tianbai's uncle as a teacher, but he was valued by Xu Guogong, so he would also explain it.
The Queen Mother also understood that Xue Zhao was just a concubine, and because her biological mother was forced to kill by Xue Qian back then, the situation was somewhat embarrassing.
For Ruan Ling, it is even more related to Xu Guogong, Xu Guogong was very concerned about Jin An, but Jin An did not respect him, the foreign prince, but was estranged, Cui Zheng is also very angry, now Ruan Ling sent to the door, it seems that there is the sincerity of the prodigal son, Xu Guogong to discipline seems to be reasonable, but if the line is drawn, there is some desire to cover up.
So after hearing about this sudden accident, the Queen Mother only shook her head and smiled: "If Ling'er can really make progress, he may not be able to become a pillar of the monarchy in the future, just let him go, and only pay attention to whether Cui Fu still has dealings with courtiers in addition to these younger generations." ”
In fact, the Queen Mother's jealousy of Xu Guogong was indeed lax because of He Yan's death, which is also a matter of course.
Xu Guogong's threat, in fact, is no longer important after Dezong's death, but Cui Mu's father and son because of their ill intentions, spread the news that He Yan killed his mother-in-law Xiao Cui, which made the Queen Mother very angry, and originally wanted to uproot Jingzhao Cui on the pretext of rebellion, but there are Pei Zheng and other clans to protect it, so only Cui Mu was convicted, and now Cui Mu's father and son are dead, that branch has long been slumped, even He Yan has collapsed, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, the Queen Mother is actually no longer worried that there will be people who will use Xiao Cui's death to question the orthodoxy and guard against Xu Guogong, In fact, it is only limited to preventing his collusion with He Qi and He Ye.
Jing Zhaocui is not a convicted family, and it is impossible for the Queen Mother to put everyone in the Xuguo Mansion under house arrest.
It's just that if any courtier suddenly gets close to Xu Guogong, the Queen Mother will definitely pay close attention, and the courtiers who intend to befriend the Cui family will inevitably have bad intentions, and of course they must guard against suppression.
Xu Guogong has always been transparent and straightforward, and where will the old be implicated, so he has almost closed his door over the years, although he has enjoyed teaching, but it is limited to his own children and younger generations of in-laws.
As for Ruan Ling, he is bent on striving for Lu Li's recognition as a lifelong event, which is simply indomitable, which also makes Lu Li a little crying and laughing, but he inquired that Ruan Ling has never done anything to bully the people since he was punished with a cane for more than a year, and even changed his ways, but did a few chivalrous acts that were uneven, Lu Li did change his opinion of it in his selfish heart, and he was not as disgusting as before, but it was just to prevent the eldest princess of Jin'an, and he was still planning to alienate himself.
However, since the King of Jin adopted his suggestion and intended to win the help of Xu Guogong, only Cui Zheng's old friend Lu Zhengming can be described as the best lobbyist, but whether it is Lu Gong or He Ye, it is impossible to openly go to Xu Guogong's mansion to visit, in order to promote private opinions, Lu Li thought about it, and there was only one way to use Ruan Ling, but of course he would not rest assured to confess to Ruan Ling, his strategy was to use Ruan Ling's eagerness to make friends, so that everything would fall into place without a trace.
Although Dou Fu'an's ears and eyes are wide, they are also limited, and the focus is still placed in the family that the Queen Mother is afraid of, such as the current Ruyang Palace, Nanyang Palace, and Xu Guogong's Mansion, etc., but like Lu Zhengming, he is just a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion at the moment, and he has never participated in court politics, and the Queen Mother is far from keeping an eye on the entrances and exits, even the King of Jin is in the other garden in Pingkangfang, and the Queen Mother has no ears and eyes mixed with it, not to mention Lu Li's other garden, but Xu Guogong has almost closed his door for many years, and he wants to take the initiative to go to Lu Li's Farewell Garden. There must also be a reasonable reason not to make the Queen Mother suspicious, and it is inseparable from Ruan Ling's central role.
Now the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to various holidays, there are still three days off in January, when Lu Li is on vacation, he only has to leave Xue Zhao to take the test in the other garden, when Ruan Ling disappears this important "classmate" will definitely ask, knowing the reason why Xue Zhao is absent from class, he will definitely be tempted, not to mention that there is Cui Tianbai in the middle to guide, Ruan Ling will definitely bother Xu Guogong to come forward and lead him to Lu Li's other garden to pay a visit - if Xu Guogong does not come forward, most of them will be turned away!
As long as Xu Guogong is persuaded by Ruan Ling to go to Xuanyangfang, then he can meet Lu Gong through the secret passage!
Lu Li only needs to be entangled by Ruan Ling under "helplessness", and this matter will not show the slightest clue.
If the Queen Mother's precautions against Xu Guogong have reached the point of rumour, maybe Xu Guogong's meeting with Lu Li's farewell garden will also touch the Queen Mother's tense nerves, so Lu Li first let Xue Zhao apprentice, in fact, it is also a step to test the reality of the fall, of course, this plan must also be approved by Eleven Niang, but it is a coincidence that Eleven Niang has obtained the Queen Mother's permission because of Liu Zhen, but Lu Li does not need to find a way to imply that Eleven Niang is out of the palace for a private meeting.
He also said that Eleven Niang, ten days of leave, returned to the palace as scheduled, but on this day in front of the palace gate and the King of Jin met a positive one, Eleven Niang met politely, raised his eyes but saw that the person seemed to be smiling and not smiling with ill intentions, standing under the scorching sun with his arms crossed, the purple gold crown was black and scorching, and it seemed that there was no polite two sentences to let go, but it was a momentum of planning to talk for a long time.
Eleven Niang had no choice but to stare at him wide-eyed, and I really didn't know what His Royal Highness King Jin had to advise today.
"Liu Shiyi, can you owe me another favor for the matter of Nanyang Wangfu this time, and you don't even have a word of thanks?" Seeing that Eleven Niang was not conscious at all, His Royal Highness King Jin raised his eyebrows and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Eleven Niang: ......
finally couldn't help it: "The king hero saves the beauty, I don't know what to do?" ”
"He Ling was instigated by others and almost made a joke, isn't your assistant derelict in his duties? If I hadn't lifted the siege for you, how could I have been so smooth. King Jin was not ashamed.
Eleven Niang again: ......
cautiously retorted: "Isn't it that the king intends to entrap Wu Weibo and relieve the siege for Qin's little lady?" ”
At this time, He Ye's other eyebrows also flew up: "What little lady Qin?" ”
Eleven Niang supported her forehead: "It is the one who was troubled by the little lady Mao, the eldest granddaughter of Wu Weibo." ”
"I'm just trying to win over Wu Weibo, why should I please a lady? Liu Shiyi, don't try to quibble. King Jin Yan snorted lightly: "Come on, in the old Zichen Palace, you helped me not to die, this time it will be considered a tie." ”
Eleven Niang stared blankly at the back of someone's stride away, and she couldn't cry or laugh.
King, that's a life-saving grace, and it's too scoundrel for you to write off such a lump sum!
In the end, he still sighed and admitted this loss-making deal, dignified Liu Eleven, not like a scoundrel.
