"That's unreasonable." After hearing the report from his subordinates, King Zhongshun angrily smashed the tea bowl on the table.
The servants waiting around didn't know why their prince was so angry at the question. They all knelt on the spot and didn't dare to speak.
King Zhongshun looked at the kneeling servant impatiently and said, "Take care of the ground."
After that, he took the information and left.
"Your Majesty, I am reading a book, and I specifically asked not to be disturbed." Zheng An stopped King Zhongshun.
When Wang Tingxuan heard the movement outside, he quickly put away the book in his hand and put it into the space.
"Zheng An, you go down first." Wang Tingxuan opened the study door and said to Zheng An.
King Zhongshun said with a slight dissatisfaction: "What are you doing in the study? Why are you stopping me? Don't forget, from Yu'er's perspective, you should also call me father-in-law."
Based on Wang Tingxuan's understanding, someone must have offended King Zhongshun, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
"Who is so short-sighted and offended the prince again?"
In front of Wang Tingxuan, Prince Zhongshun did not even act like a prince, let alone an adoptive father.
"No one has offended me, but someone has offended you. You don't want to listen."
Wang Tingxuan cooperated and said: "Please give me some advice."
"I have obtained some information from Shui Rong. In order to win over you, Shui Rong planned to act as a matchmaker for Yu'er and found several young talents among the four princes and eight princes."
It's really disgusting. Does this count as wooing? It's not an exaggeration to say it's enmity.
"When did this happen?"
"When I mentioned Yu'er in front of my father, Shui Rong went back and arranged for someone to inquire."
That was early enough, but why didn't any news come out? Could it be that we gave up.
"Are you wondering why you haven't heard of it? That's because the water-soluble jujubes picked out are all crooked melons and cracked jujubes. He doesn't like them himself, let alone being a matchmaker in front of Lin Ruhai."
This is the legendary pig teammate.
Prince Shui Rong of Beijing County could stay out of the matter, but he wanted to get involved with the four princes and eight princes. Wang Tingxuan really couldn't understand what Shui Rong, or the Prince of Beijing, was thinking.
"Didn't he say it out loud? Why is the prince still so angry?"
"Angry, I'm not angry, I just think it's funny. See for yourself." King Zhongshun threw the information to Wang Tingxuan and sat down to drink tea.
After Wang Tingxuan read the information, his face became ugly and he wanted to kill Shui Rong.
After seeing Wang Tingxuan finish reading, King Zhongshun asked: "Do you really want to kill Shui Rong?"
Wang Tingxuan did not deny it.
As mentioned earlier, Shui Rong gave up attacking the Lin family and instead wanted to open a gap from Wang Tingxuan's side.
Although there are not so many servants in Wang Tingxuan's house, there are advantages to having fewer people.
Those people didn't find out any useful information at all.
Wang Tingxuan usually doesn't need servants to serve him closely, and he doesn't have any concubines or concubines.
The bedrooms, study rooms and other places are cleaned by trustworthy people, not limited to men and women. The main thing is that everything that Wang Tingxuan needs to keep confidential is put in the space, and it doesn't matter who cleans it.
In addition, Wang Tingxuan never went to places like brothels.
So, Shui Rong came to the conclusion that Wang Tingxuan liked men's style.
As for why King Zhongshun was also angry, that's because the complete conclusion there is that Wang Tingxuan likes masculinity and has the same hobbies as King Zhongshun.
Even if the capital is quite accepting of things like masculinity, you can't think that everyone else is the same as you.
What kind of brain circuit is this to draw such a conclusion?
To say that Shui Rong has such a hobby is not to slander him.
There is a hint in the original book that Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian both had this kind of relationship with the servants around them. Jia Baoyu and Qiguan exchanged sweat towels, which is also a hint.
This all shows that Jia Baoyu is not taboo about meat and vegetables.
As for Shui Xiang, who has a particularly good relationship with Jia Baoyu, his character should be similar.
He must be a crow who cannot see that he is black.
"How did these news spread? It couldn't have spread throughout the capital."
This is the scariest thing. If it really gets spread, I'm afraid I will be stigmatized for a lifetime.
King Zhongshun said: "You have to be lucky that you still have some value in winning over. Shui Rong didn't let anyone spread the news."
"Then how did you know?"
King Zhongshun said angrily: "Aren't you that stupid Shui Rong who would believe such a ridiculous conclusion and actually want to send someone to find out what kind of man you like?"
"He couldn't find any chance at your house, so he actually sent the actor Qi Guan to find out the news in my palace."
Where is the brain?
Wang Tingxuan wanted to grab Shuirong and ask, where is your brain?
"Is it the secret from Guan Qi?"
To be honest, Wang Tingxuan didn't believe this conclusion. Qiguan's dream was to live a peaceful life, and he had no intention of becoming a spy. He made friends with powerful people everywhere just to get protection in the future.
"He doesn't have the brains. I rarely listen to plays now. What kind of information can he get? In the end, he actually wanted to bribe the guards around me to find out the information. It was the guard who secretly reported the secret."
Stupid, is it really contagious? Why are a bunch of idiots getting together?
In the original work, Qiguan actually told Jia Baoyu his hiding place, which was stupid enough. I didn't expect that he would be even stupider than what was written in the book.
"Have you dealt with Qiguan?"
"No, this idiot still has some value, I will keep him."
At this time, Wang Tingxuan wished that King Zhongshun had Qi Guan dealt with.
For the sake of King Zhongshun, Wang Tingxuan treated him with courtesy. Ever since the incident at the restaurant, he had become alienated from him.
Who would have thought that he would seek death like this.
Zheng An came to the study and said, "Sir, the chief historian of Beijing Palace is here to visit."
Prince Zhongshun and Wang Tingxuan looked at each other and both felt that this person appeared without even saying a few words.
"Just tell him I'm not here." Wang Tingxuan said impatiently.
When Zheng An was about to go down to reply, King Zhongshun stopped him and said, "Let him come over and see what the purpose of water dissolution is."
After receiving Wang Tingxuan's signal, Zheng An went down and took Chang Shi to the study.
The long history of Prince Beijing certainly knew King Zhongshun. When he saw King Zhongshun present, he didn't have any special expression.
Chang Shi said: "Master Marquis, our prince has invited several opera troupes from other places and plans to hold a party. We also ask the Marquis to show his respect."
Wang Tingxuan's face really darkened. Wasn't it because he invited the troupe to match the information brought by King Zhongshun?
"Please tell Prince Beijing that I have been busy with official duties recently and have no time to visit the Prince. If there is any official business, please ask the Prince to come to the Ministry of Industry to talk. As for listening to the opera, I really don't have the taste for it. It is better for the Prince to enjoy it by himself."
Chang Shi persuaded: "Why do you have to do this, Lord Marquis? Lord Marquis and my prince are officials in the same dynasty, and there is no grudge. Why should you refuse someone thousands of miles away?"
"If we have different paths, we should not conspire against each other. Since the prince and I have different interests, there is no need for the prince to keep him in mind all the time."
Chang Shi wanted to persuade him again, but King Zhongshun said impatiently: "Go back and tell Shuirong that the brain is a good thing. He can't despise it just because he doesn't need it, let alone throw it away."
Chang Shi looked at King Zhongshun with anger, and then asked Wang Tingxuan: "What does the Marquis mean by this?"
Those who bully the weak are afraid of the strong.
Wang Tingxuan said: "Didn't you hear what Prince Zhongshun said? Don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment."
Although the disease in the brain is not good to see.
