Luoyang, Shenjia, Zhuxinlou, cold spring and light rain
"Grandpa, how about asking someone to impeach Qiu Linjiang?...Yiyi, can you find any information about him?" Shen Jue couldn't help but speak first.
Mr. Shen did not speak. Shen Yiyi glanced at her grandfather and said calmly: "There is no problem with money. Qiu Linjiang does not eat or drink more than two taels of silver a day. There are only five servants in the family, a cook, a coachman, and a concierge. The two maids, the rest of the bearers, the servants, etc. are all gifts from His Majesty, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs provides fixed expenses. I have to say that this person is at least incorruptible enough to leave people speechless."
Shen Jue was stunned for a moment, then frowned
Shen He waved his hand: "This is not the key at all. If you want to find evidence for Qiu Linjiang, Tianji Pavilion can give him a basket at any time."
The eldest son Shen Ju nodded: "Father is right. At Qiu Linjiang's position, it would be too easy for Tianji Pavilion to find mistakes in his past official career as impeachment charges. Besides, even if there are none, Tianji Pavilion can give him But a Zuodu imperial envoy will not be impeached and resigned for these reasons. The key issue here still lies with His Majesty. If His Majesty wants to keep Qiu Linjiang, then no matter how many charges are found, it will be in vain."
Shen Jue was a little unhappy, but one was his father and the other was his eldest brother who had always been better than him. He really didn't have much to say, so he could only keep silent.
Old Prime Minister Shen suddenly shook his head and sighed softly: "This matter is not over yet. Your Majesty must have some backup plans."
"What's the next move?" Shen He asked subconsciously.
Old Prime Minister Shen did not answer directly, but just said: "If your Majesty just brings Qiu Linjiang to implement this new law, there will only be two effects. One is that we, the big families, will oppose it, and the other is that those officials from poor families will support it, but those officials from poor families will support it." Originally supporting the royal family, Your Majesty does not have to do this at all. Although the interests of us aristocratic families and the royal family have some disputes, they are generally tied together. If Your Majesty really pushes us away completely, you are simply digging your own grave. Tomb, with your Majesty’s wisdom, how could you make such a nasty move?”
Shen Ju nodded on the side: "Grandpa is right. To a certain extent, the royal family is the largest family in the world, and our family is the foundation for the royal family to rule the world. They put us aside and try to be pure. It is completely impossible for a poor prince to control the world. Your Majesty cannot have thought of this."
Chen He rubbed his brows and said distressedly: "Then what's your Majesty's next move?"
Shen Yiyi lowered her head, raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately returned to normal. But Mr. Shen saw it and asked, "What do you think of Yiyi?"
Shen He and his son were a little surprised. Yiyi always only provided information and rarely expressed opinions on speculation and decision-making. Why did the question come to her head?
Shen Yiyi didn't have any unusual attitude. She just thought about it for a moment and said: "To speculate on His Majesty's next move, we must first make it clear what His Majesty's purpose is."
Shen Heyi frowned: "His Majesty's goal is naturally to take over the royal family. The ministers have all been replaced by obedient officials from poor families, so that we people can stand aside."
Shen Yiyi didn't seem to notice her father's displeasure and said calmly: "This is a big aspect and can be regarded as your majesty's ultimate goal, but what Yiyi wants to ask now is your majesty's immediate goal."
Shen Jue waved his hand: "Yiyi, my good sister, please tell me quickly."
Shen Yiyi nodded and said: "In Yiyi's opinion, His Majesty's concerns about the four major border towns, especially the Yunzhou family, are much deeper than those of our Shen, Gu, Qin, and Du families. That's because the Yun family If the army is willing, they can arrive at Luoyang City within three days. But if the Zhou family wants to do the same thing, it seems that it will only take about five days. This is the reason why His Majesty has to worry about them. But His Majesty adopts the method of approaching step by step, using money and silk. The 'noose' of ordnance slowly tightened the throats of the border towns. At the same time, in order to ensure the deterrence of the Central Army, a new army began to be formed... These were all done to deal with the four foreign forces."
She looked at her grandfather, father and brother, and found that neither of them had any intention of interrupting her words, so she continued: "In your Majesty's view, the main body that divides the power of the royal family is not the outer four families, but our inner four families. In the center, the power of our four families is so heavy that His Majesty can no longer bear it, so he agreed to Qiu Linjiang’s radical new law."
Shen Ju's eyes suddenly lit up and his brows raised: "Yiyi, what you are saying is that although His Majesty agreed to Qiu Linjiang's new law this time, the interests of the four other families will not be affected during the actual implementation. Just compete with the four of us?"
Shen Yiyi nodded, shook her head again, and looked a little troubled, saying: "I can't say for sure, but I don't think His Majesty has the idea of killing all four of our families at once."
Old Prime Minister Shen suddenly laughed and said: "Yiyi is right. His Majesty will definitely find a way to stabilize the four foreign families before he attacks us. But... after the four foreign families are stabilized, His Majesty may not be able to Satisfied, Your Majesty is a cautious person by nature. Even if he is the emperor and has the support of almost all the poor people, he will not openly provoke the four inner families at the same time, unless he really does not intend to lose any royal face - the inner four families. If the large group of scholars in our family criticize the royal family, I am afraid that the royal family's prestige will soon drop to the lowest point since the founding of the Wei Dynasty. This will definitely be intolerable to your majesty, so your majesty will definitely divide it and deal with it."
Shen Jue hurriedly asked: "How to differentiate?"
Shen Ju thought thoughtfully: "Divide? I don't know how your Majesty will divide it. Anyway, it can be at least clear. Your Majesty will definitely break the situation where the four families in our country unite to oppose the new law, and then..."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid His Majesty won't be tired of the government tomorrow morning. He will probably have to go to court early, so everyone should go and have a rest. Remember to keep the discussion today secret," Old Prime Minister Shen interrupted Shen Ju and ordered.
----------------------------------------East Palace Side Hall, a certain cabin
Prince Lin Xu had a smile on his cold face and said slowly: "So, he adopted that method?"
A voice sounded: "It's hard to say whether it will be fully adopted, but judging from the current situation, it should be about the same."
The prince nodded, his smile already gone, and he said calmly: "If that's the case, then he must have follow-up actions tomorrow morning."
The voice didn't speak, as if it was acquiescing to the prince's words.
The prince was silent for a moment and then asked: "The implementation of the 'Tiandao' over there at No. 1 is good, but what about the operation of the 'Blood Begonia' at No. 2?"
The voice said: "It is also progressing steadily. According to No. 2's description, Cangqiong's body is not as good as before, and there seems to be no good solution at Taiyuan Hospital. They just continue to open those medicines that strengthen the foundation and cultivate the body."
Prescription to 'Cangqiong'"
A smile finally appeared on the prince's face again: "Very good, in this way, within two years, good news should come out... Tell No. 1 and No. 2 that Gu is true to his word, as long as Gu agrees
I will never go back on my word and let them rest assured.”
Ning Wanting looked at her husband with a heavy face, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What's the bad news?"
Yun Lan put down the note and said, "You should also take a look."
Ning Wanting took it and said: "Qiyun's urgent order...it has been many years since I sent it from Luoyang to Yanjing."
Yun Lan acquiesced that the last Qiyun urgent order sent from Luoyang to Yanjing was seventeen... no, eighteen years ago? It is indeed quite old, but she had sent one from Yanjing to Luoyang a few months ago.
To Zheng'er...
After Ning Wanting read the note, she smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Zheng'er has become famous again."
Yun Lan snorted: "It's as if this boy has become the benefactor of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing."
Ning Wanting smiled and said, "So your husband also noticed it?"
Yun Lan snorted again: "Isn't this obvious?" He tapped his fingers on the table: "What kind of temper is Lin Laoliu? We have watched him grow up, how can we not know? If there is no Zheng
If Zheng'er supports him, does he have the guts to confront Lin Laosi? If Zheng'er doesn't give Lin Laoliu advice and encouragement, then that's really a damn thing, huh, how audacious!"
Ning Wanting took a peek at her husband's face and saw that although he spoke harshly, there was not much anger on his face, so she smiled and said: "Zheng'er's courage is a bit too big, but we can handle this matter anyway."
Not bad, but the time to be in the limelight is not very good..."
Yun Lan frowned: "Madam, are you saying that the emperor was so stimulated by the incident in Yangzhou that he suddenly took action and pushed Qiu Linjiang out?"
Ning Wanting pondered for a moment and said: "Normally, Lin Youzhi is so stoic and shouldn't be so unsatisfied that I still feel that he deliberately took this opportunity to push Qiu Linjiang out."
Yun Lan raised her eyebrows: "How do you say that?"
Ning Wanting said: "We can see Zheng'er's role in the Yangzhou incident, and naturally Lin You can also see it. He actually had one intention when he pushed out the Qiu Linjiang Reform at this time.
Our Zheng'er made a mistake before and he didn't pursue it, so he wants us to turn a blind eye to his reform."
"Oh?" Yun Lan pondered for a moment and then snorted: "This is a good calculation. It really treats our Yun family as a decoration - even if he wants to pursue the case, he still needs an explanation? Don't forget, things will still happen in the end.
What Zheng'er solved was his two sons, who almost brought 60,000 people to the underworld. The two of them were the leaders of the dragon and the phoenix dance. Zheng'er was just a spectator. What else did he want? Besides, he
Even if we really pursue the case, what can we do to Zheng'er? Can we take this as a favor?"
Ning Wanting listened, nodded, frowned and said: "That's right, this is wrong... Oh, husband, do you think Lin You has just made the move, and has there been any more in the future?"
Yun Lan's heart moved, she breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded: "Tomorrow morning, there should be a new situation in Beijing. Don't worry, we will get the news tomorrow night."
A young man about the same age as Yun Zheng frowned and said to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Father, this new law seems to be somewhat disadvantageous to us."
His father was Zhou Ye, the commander-in-chief of the Zhou family in Guanzhong, who was known as the handsome man. After hearing his son's words, he snorted coldly: "Not only is it somewhat disadvantageous, it is also a big bad thing."
The young man was a little surprised: "My child is stupid, please give me some advice from my father."
Zhou Ye waved his hand: "The emperor is playing with fire... But you don't have to understand it so clearly. Anyway, our Zhou family is not the one who is most worried about this matter."
The young man said oh, and although he had doubts in his eyes, he didn't ask any more questions.
Zhou Ye thought for a moment and suddenly chuckled: "Xun'er, luckily your brother didn't walk too fast this time. If he had walked faster, I'm afraid he would have caught up with Yangzhou."
Zhou Xun asked curiously: "Isn't it good to catch up? Why did father say that?"
Zhou Ye hummed and said: "With only a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix, there is a high probability that it will be impossible to fight. But if there is an extra guard, maybe the fire will start."
week
Will there be a fight?"
Zhou Ye curled his lips and said: "The two guards, Longxiangfengwu, almost started fighting. It was probably the result of instigation by that boy Yun Zheng. Otherwise, with Lin Laosi's weakness, how would he dare to confront his fourth brother head-on? But in the end they didn't
It was Yun Zheng who relied on him in the fight. Because of his presence, Lin Laosi was always a bit defensive. Yun Zheng's idea was not only to demonstrate, but also to give Lin Laosi a step up. In this way, Lin Laosi took advantage of the situation.
Down... Humph, if your eldest brother is there again, things will be much more complicated. Whether it is Lin Lao Si or Lin Lao Liu, they will definitely want Jun'er to help themselves, but they are also afraid that Jun'er will help the other party, and your eldest brother is...
He is a meddlesome person, and he will definitely add fuel to the fire to the two brothers, making them feel that as long as he has the upper hand, they can get help from the Tiger Wing Guards. In this way, Yun Zheng, the boy who is struggling to control
The fire was amplified by your eldest brother giving you a handful of firewood, and Lin Laosi and Lin Laoliu are very likely to sneak attack on each other to gain an early advantage in order to win your eldest brother's help...then they will naturally start fighting."
Zhou Xun was a little confused when he heard it, but he felt that what his father said made sense. However, his analysis seemed to be based on speculation, and he didn't know whether it was accurate or not.
Zhou Ye seemed to sense his son's doubts and sighed softly: "Xun'er, remember, if you want to guess a person's actions and his personality, you must study it."
Zhou Xun said "Oh", but he didn't know if he understood it.
Zhou Ye turned his head and looked out the window without saying anything.
Will there be new changes in Luoyang tomorrow morning?
