Chapter 357: A Useful Method

"Lord Ning. ”

Although Ning Chen's own posture was very low, Zhang Lingfeng couldn't follow Ning Chen's wishes.

Ning Chen himself can call Zhang Lingfeng's uncle, or he can call himself his little nephew, which is Ning Chen's self-humility.

Zhang Lingfeng, as an old fox in officialdom, even if he didn't have other ideas when he arrived in Ning Chen, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Ning Chen didn't go too far to correct Zhang Lingfeng's meaning, Zhang Lingfeng was a person in the court, and he was not interested in the set of rivers and lakes.

"If the old man guesses well. Zhang Lingfeng looked at Ning Chen, and then said, "This attention is from Lord Ning's hand, right?"

Zhang Lingfeng leaned lightly on the bed, but his words were amazing.

"Daddy. Zhang Chengxuan also heard this, although he was surprised in his heart, but his face was not panicked at all, but said half-sarcastically: "Aren't you old and confused? You can't go together with these eight poles. ”

"Besides. Zhang Chengxuan rubbed his knees, and then said: "Brother Ning has no grudge against you in the past, and no grudge in the near future..."

"Huh. Ning Chen was also slightly stunned, he really didn't defend himself, and said bluntly: "I can't help but pay attention to this little nephew, even this person... It was also found by the little nephew. ”

The person was actually asked by Ning Chen to find Jiang Lixun, but since they are father and son, what is the difference between the person Jiang Li found and the person he found?

It's better to bear the pain by yourself.

"Brother Ning?" Zhang Chengxuan was even more surprised, he didn't expect Ning Chen to admit it so neatly.

Zhang Lingfeng's previous words did not make Zhang Chengxuan show any flaws, but Ning Chen's unexpected self-knife made Zhang Chengxuan's mentality unbalanced.

Under the old man's eyesight, the fox's tail was naturally exposed.

What could he do?

By the time he realized it was too late.

"Looks like you kid knew it from start to finish. Zhang Lingfeng glanced at Zhang Chengxuan lightly.

"In fact, the little nephew came over today, just to have an open and honest talk with his uncle, and also to come over and apologize in person. Ning Chen paused, and then said: "Ben didn't mean to hide it, but many things were delayed for a few days before..."

"Lord Ning. Zhang Lingfeng smiled bitterly, and then said: "It stands to reason that the old man is in such a situation today is all due to you, but this short-legged feud is enough for you and me to form a bond." ”

"I don't know what confidence you have, and you dare to come to the door?" Zhang Lingfeng asked as he stared at Ning Chen's eyes.

"Lord Zhang is so smart, can't he really guess the meaning of the next?" Ning Chen also changed his words at this time, and he didn't call his uncle, and at the same time turned his little nephew into a subordinate.

The old man thought again. Zhang Lingfeng's brows furrowed slightly, and then said, "Why do you think that the Donglin Party will definitely fail?"

"Because the Donglin Party does not do its duty. Ning Chen said bluntly.

All people in the world do not want to passively obey the words of others, and this is especially true of the Son of Heaven.

What does the Donglin Party want to do now?

They are forcing the emperor to make a decision, the literati of the world and the eunuchs of Dongchang can only choose one.

Who is the Emperor?

is the master of the world, even though he himself has the intention of weakening Dongchang, but this wind direction can only be led by him personally, not the Donglin Party.

In this world, it's still his!

Reverse psychology.

In particular, it is his teacher Zhang Lao who leads the Donglin Party.

"yes. When Zhang Lingfeng heard Ning Chen's short words, the momentum of wanting to ask for guilt before also dissipated: "So the old man has lived for so many years, and he is not as thorough as a young man with a weak crown. ”

"This is the desire that power brings. Ning Chen suddenly immersed himself: "Whenever there is an improvement, I always unconsciously look at the scenery above, thinking, since I can go so far, why can't I go to the next level?"

"The development of the Donglin Party has entered a bottleneck. Ning Chen paused, and then said: "If you want to go further, only Nadongchang or Jinyiwei will open the knife." ”

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it. Zhang Lingfeng looked at Ning Chen and said, "The Donglin Party has long been ready to sacrifice. ”

Ning Chen smiled helplessly: "This is your belief, but it has nothing to do with me." ”

"I, Ning Chen, have always been people who respect me, and I respect people. Ning Chen waved his hand and continued: "But in the matter of Lord Zhang, what you did under is indeed a little improper... After all, there are many ways to do this, but I chose the most brutal one. ”

"But the crudest is the one that has the fastest effect. Zhang Lingfeng didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Ning Chen, and he couldn't hold a grudge against the culprit who couldn't get out of bed for three months or even longer.

"If it weren't for Lord Ning, the old man might not be able to figure out many things during this period now. Zhang Lingfeng smiled bitterly, and then said: "To be honest, the old man doesn't hate you, this is a very strange feeling. ”

"There is only one sentence I want to tell Mr. Zhang today. Ning Chen was also quite surprised when he heard Zhang Lingfeng's words, and then said: "Regardless of whether Lord Zhang holds a grudge or not, please take care of your body no matter what happens, after the fall of the Donglin Party, I have a hunch that the imperial court will fall into unprecedented paralysis." ”

"When the time comes, the imperial court will still need a mainstay like Lord Zhang to support it. Ning Chen's words to Zhang Lingfeng were sincere.

"The old man has always been an idler in the court. Zhang Lingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, he really couldn't afford the four words mainstay.

"Soon it won't. Ning Chen shook his head lightly, and then said, "I will try to delay this time for a while... After all, it's not good to let Master Zhang go into battle with an injury. ”

"Then Lord Cheng Ning's auspicious words. Zhang Lingfeng groaned slightly for a while, and arched his hand at Ning Chen.

"I took my leave. Ning Chen knew Zhang Lingfeng's character, so Ning Chen dared to tell him clearly.

In one, it was also because Zhang Lingfeng couldn't get off the ground, and he couldn't even get out of the door.

Li Yuan.

Ning Chen went home and rested for a while, and then set off for Li Yuan.

It's not to see Da Li, it's not to see Xiao Li.

Instead, visit Lao Li.

The visit to Lao Li was already sent to the house.

Lao Li was also ready to receive Ning Chen for a long time.

To be honest, Lao Li doesn't want to see the Donglin Party, and he has the same attitude towards Jinyiwei.

But I can't stand the fact that my own kid has a good relationship with others, and Jin Yiwei has been under Jiang Li's control in recent years, and there is nothing out of the ordinary... The things on Lao Li's face can still be endured.

Ning Chen even suspected that it was because of Lao Li's temper that he and Da Li had the potential to be the champions, but they were judged by the emperor to explore the flowers.

The last palace examination of the Southern Ming Dynasty decided the champion, and it was the emperor himself who decided the champion, the list and the flower.

It is not the same as the previous dynasty, it is the discretion of the auxiliary ministers below.

Face-to-face communication with the emperor, there is an impression in it, even if your talent is superior to that of the same generation, if you don't have a good look, I'm afraid this champion will have to move.

The thing of looking at the face exists in any era.

Having a good appearance is not a bad thing after all.

The people of the Li family are all first-class beautiful men, especially the perfect fusion of the bookish atmosphere and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, making them more attractive.

Ning Chen even secretly changed his clothes, and the emperor didn't let them be champions, just because they were too "good-looking" and compared the emperor himself.

To be honest, the vast majority of people standing by Li Xunhuan's side can only exist as a foil background board.

Emperors are generally not ugly.

Because genes determine everything~

Even if the founding emperor is an ugly monster, the concubines of the six palaces are all first-class beauties, and even if the remaining princes are not handsome, they can't be too ugly... In this way, the third generation of emperors will reach the level of basically reaching the level of "handsome guys"...

In this way, the more the last emperor, the more he can't find anything wrong with his appearance.

Of course, Ning Chen only has one sentence to say about some of the photos and images of the concubines of the last Qing Dynasty that he saw in his previous life... The aesthetic concept is different~

"Li Shangshu. Ning Chen arched his hand at Lao Li and said, "I'm nagging again." ”

"Again?" Lao Li said unhurriedly: "It's been ten years since I last came to Li Yuan, to say the least." ”

"Uh..."Ning Chen smiled helplessly: "Last time I was naughty, this time I paid a serious visit." ”

"Naughty and mischievous?" Lao Li squinted and smiled: "The old man really doesn't know that these four words can describe you." ”

Lao Li is also a member of the Six Shangshu.

The Book of Rites.

An official position that is not up or down~

But it's really suitable for Lao Li's appetite.

The Ministry of Rites does not have much oil and water to fish, so no matter which force it is, it does not regard the Ministry of Rites as a key target, and it has become the base of the neutral faction led by Yi Lao Li.

I have to say that it is a very wonderful phenomenon, even the emperor himself does not want to see the Ministry of Rites.

Because of the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Rites, he was bored, and this Lao Li was very well-behaved, no matter whether the emperor did something out of line or not, he was quietly watching from the side.

Although I don't agree with your approach, I won't use the etiquette in charge of the Ministry of Rites to suppress you, this is Lao Li's smart way.

He had long seen that the emperor was not a man who could stand the restraints.

Lao Li looked at Ning Chen and said, "Presumably you came this time to ask for the old man's help." ”

Lao Li didn't have any bells and whistles with Ning Chen, and said directly: "It's too difficult, and the old man can't do it." ”

"Why does Lord Shangshu think it's a difficult thing?" Ning Chen felt that this Lao Li was not as easy to handle as Zhang Lingfeng.

"For example... Turning the tide and stuff like that. Lao Li, the old fox, looked at Ning Chen with a smile.

"Lord Shangshu already knows what he cares about~" Ning Chen smiled bitterly, this old Li has never been easy to deal with.

"You're different from everyone else. Lao Li stretched out a finger, gently Yao Yao, and then said: "If someone else comes, the old man may be suspicious, but you... The old man has always been very accurate in looking at people. ”

"I don't know what Shang Shu saw?" Ning Chen asked meaningfully.

"The old man sees your ambition. Lao Li's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom: "Watching the drama has no ambitions, is at peace with what happens, and is constantly pushed away, but the ambition hidden in your heart, I'm afraid even you don't realize that you are awakening." ”

"I still have ambitions?" Ning Chen was slightly stunned.

"See. Lao Li smiled slightly, then looked at Ning Chen with the eyes of the people who came over and said, "If you don't have ambition, you can be like the old man, stay neutral, and you don't have to participate in the battle in the court at all... With your stepfather Jiang Li, or the relationship between the lady in your family and the queen mother, no matter which side wins or loses, it will not implicate you. ”

"Why do you want to go to such lengths. Lao Li looked at Ning Chen and said.

"Isn't this what every courtier of the Ming Dynasty should do, after all, without the Ming Dynasty, even if I am now in the Jinyi Weibei Town, or if there are infinite possibilities in the future, won't it all become a castle in the air?" Ning Chen paused, and then said: "What I want to see is a strong Ming Dynasty, overpowering Beiyan and Xiliang, and even simply annexing!"

"If that's my ambition. A sharp look appeared in Ning Chen's eyes: "Go on, what if I have ambitions?"

"The breath of youth. Lao Li smiled slightly, looked at Ning Chen's gaze, and there was appreciation: "To be honest, the old man is very envious. ”

"Why is Lord Shangshu like this?" Ning Chen also touted: "Presumably, Shangshu back then was the same, and he was just as debauched!"

"Bohemian?" At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and at the same time, a peerless beautiful man walked into the room, the third son of the Li family.

"I like that word!" Li Xunhuan rolled his eyebrows a few times, and then said, "Father." ”

Li Xunhuan first echoed Ning Chen's words, and then honestly bowed to his old Li, and then said: "Big brother, his injuries have been alleviated a lot. ”

"Injury?" Ning Chen didn't know that Da Li had already followed in the same footsteps as Zhang Lingfeng.

The ending is the same.

Although one was interrupted by someone else's sneak attack, the other was broken by his own Lao Tzu himself.

"Lord Li, he?" Ning Chen asked.

"My father broke my legs. Li Xunhuan shrugged helplessly at Ning Chen.

"I heard the idea came from you. Lao Li chuckled and said, "That's right... You also went to Zhang's Mansion today and met Zhang Lingfeng. ”

"I can't hide it from Lord Shangshu's eyes. Ning Chen nodded, and then said: "After all, Zhang Chengxuan is also a close friend in the next place... His father participated in the Donglin Party, and in order to get out, he came up with such a clumsy plan. ”

"It's not clumsy. Lao Li shook his head, and then said: "You don't see, even the old man has imitated your method!"

"As long as it works, it's a good way!"
