"What's wrong with him? I heard from the people below, isn't he honest now?"
"Why didn't he take the post of Commander Shi of the Chinese Army Battalion? He was so good. Why didn't he take it? He went to the front line, why did he come back?"
"That said, something is indeed wrong. I don't know what this kid talked about with Marshal Qin when he went to the front line. Why didn't he take over the official position? Did Marshal Qin change his mind?"
"No matter what, if something goes wrong, there will be a monster."
In the governor's office of Jiangzhou, Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, and Wang Lengran gathered together.
Lin Cheng frowned suspiciously, and Wang Lengran asked curiously.
The two exchanged some words, and Wei Shaoqi suddenly said:
"Is it possible that it's because of Prince Xunyang's Mansion?"
Wang Lengran asked in confusion: "What does the Third Young Master mean..."
Wei Shaoqi said calmly:
"The statement made by Marshal Qin last time is worthy of scrutiny. He clearly had no intention of moving closer to Prince Xunyang's Palace, but he still helped Ouyang Lianghan to support him. Even if I am very unhappy, I can only think of one possibility."
"What's possible?"
"It is very possible that Marshal Qin values Ouyang Lianghan's crooked talent and only sides with Ouyang Lianghan and not with Xunyang Prince's Palace. In other words, he does not choose between our Wei family and Xunyang Prince's Palace.
This can also explain the previous unusually inconsistent statements."
"Third Young Master's speculation makes sense..."
Lin Cheng turned around and answered:
"So what the Third Young Master means is that Marshal Qin extended an olive branch and asked Ouyang Lianghan to go to the front line to serve as the commander of the Chinese army's battalion. Is he trying to win over this son to his account, which can be considered as a way to gain people from the Xunyang Prince's Palace?
"The Prince of Xunyang is definitely not willing to lose Ouyang Lianghan as a counselor, so this time when Ouyang Lianghan goes to the front line, there is an undercurrent of competition between the Prince of Xunyang and Marshal Qin.
"Now that Ouyang Lianghan has returned to Xunyang City, he did not take over the post of Commander Shi of the Chinese Army Battalion. Is this the result of this secret struggle? The Xunyang Palace and Marshal Qin are not as calm as we seem on the surface, and they even have a close relationship.
?”
"That's right."
Wei Shaoqi narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Otherwise, if there is a good official position of long historian, on the frontline battlefield, there is almost one person less than ten thousand people, why doesn't he Ouyang Lianghan go? Aren't these Confucian scholars all arrogant and want to display their ambitions?
"The last time Marshal Qin sent Qin Yanqing and the others, he personally invited him over in front of us. It was enough to give us face, and it was a timely help.
"I don't believe there are scholars who would be unmoved by the treatment of a scholar like this."
The more Wei Shaoqi spoke, the more decisive his tone became.
Wang Lengran nodded slightly: "What the Third Young Master said makes sense."
"Lin Cheng, what do you think?"
Wei Shaoqi and Wang Lengran turned their attention to the fat young man who was contemplating and silent.
"What the Third Young Master said is reasonable and well-founded."
The latter hesitated for a moment and then said: "But..."
"But what? Stop showing off." Wei Shaoqi urged.
Lin Cheng muttered;
"But... there is another possibility, and it is also the most dangerous possibility."
Without waiting for anyone to press him, he said quietly:
"Ouyang Lianghan may still be dissatisfied, dissatisfied with me, dissatisfied with the Holy One, and dissatisfied with the arrangements made by His Highness the King of Wei, the envoy of Tianshu! That's why he stayed..."
"Master Lin means..."
Wang Lengran was suddenly startled.
Wei Shaoqi narrowed his eyes:
"How dare he, Ouyang Lianghan, really be so bold? This is something His Majesty has decreed."
Lin Cheng hesitated and nodded:
"Just a bit of speculation.
"He is dissatisfied with me, that's for sure, but as for a saint, I don't expect him to be so courageous. After experiencing the matter of defying an edict and demoting an official with his life on the line, he still dares to complain against the saint, especially deliberately destroying the statue appointed by His Majesty.
, unless he is desperate...
"However, we still have to be careful about this boy, just in case. In the words of Governor Wang, this boy does have some evil ways."
"That's right."
Wang Lengran was convinced. He nodded vigorously, holding the cuffs of his official uniform with his hands, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Furthermore, after all, Ouyang Lianghan has been operating in Xunyang City for so long, and there are many party members. Even if he does not dare to obstruct Mr. Lin openly, it is not difficult to do so secretly and maliciously.
"Yes, that's right. If it were him, I wouldn't be able to bear this bad breath."
Wang Lengran clenched his fists and hammered his palms hard. The more he talked, the more likely he felt that it was possible. He would save humanity by himself:
"I don't know if this kid came back this time with the intention of causing harm. How could he be so rude to us?"
"Then let him come! Are you still afraid of this guy?"
Wei Shaoqi showed his white teeth and said with a stern look:
"I hope that he can be more courageous and do it if he doesn't accept it. Why hold it back?
"Aren't you, Ouyang Lianghan, recognized as a direct minister by both the government and the public? Aren't you the backbone of Shilin's reputation? Every day, you are used by those poor scholars to criticize me, the Wei family.
"Now we have taken your Xunyang Grottoes and built a statue in Xingzifang, which I disagreed with. Even His Majesty has demoted you to Jiangzhou Sima and pressed down your stubborn donkey's head so that you can witness this scene with your own eyes.
"You, Ouyang Lianghan, have the ability to make trouble again by refusing to obey the imperial edict?"
Wang Lengran sneered:
"If he dares to jump out and cause trouble, his nature is different from the last time he refused to obey the order.
"Last time, King Xunyang and the others gave in and secretly hid his death letter, so Your Majesty turned a blind eye.
"If you dare to cause trouble this time, you have touched the real Ni Lin. Master, King Xunyang, King Xiang, even if you add a Jiangnan Road marching general manager to plead for mercy, they can't save his life."
Wei Shaoqi curled his lips, picked up the tea cup from the table, blew slowly, and tasted the tea:
"Hehe, I would like to see how hard this bone is."
Lin Cheng lowered his eyes and listened for a while, then raised his head and said seriously to the two of them:
"I like a saying that a high-end hunter sees a trap, walks in, and picks out the rope."
Wei Shaoqi and Wang Lengran raised their eyebrows, and Lin Cheng arranged in a calm tone:
"There are only a few ways to make things stumbling.
"First is Yuan Huaimin, Governor Wang. Next, you have to keep an eye on Yuan Huaimin in the Jiangzhou lobby. He is likely to be Ouyang Lianghan's target. However, if you dare to reach out, you will chop off his hooves and remove them.
He was wearing the official uniform of Jiang Governor's historian.
"Secondly, there is the head of Donglin Buddha... Third Young Master, you must keep in touch with Prince Wei's Mansion, and remember to remind King Wei that we must ensure that the head of Donglin Buddha is transported smoothly from the capital to Xunyang City. This is also
The most critical part of this sculpture.
"As for some other tricks... Grand Marshal Qin has made it clear that he will not get involved. Marshal Qin knows that His Majesty values the Donglin Giant Buddha, so he will not deliberately make things difficult and delay the construction of the Xingzifang statue."
Lin Cheng stood up, lowered his head and patted the dust on his clothes, and walked out of the door under the gazes of Wei Shaoqi and Wang Lengran who tilted their heads.
"Well, I'm going to pay my respects to Rong Zhen, the female historian. Actually... this female historian is also one of the people in Jiangzhou who least wants something to happen to your majesty's giant Buddha.
"If we have the same interests, we are friends."
…
It has been two days since Ouyang Rong returned from the front line.
As Ouyang Rong walked in the Jiangzhou lobby, people would cast curious and strange looks from time to time.
However, for the former Jiangzhou Governor Shi and the current Jiangzhou Sima who refused to obey the imperial edict and became famous and arrogant, even Marshal Qin personally extended an olive branch and refused to accept it.
All the officials were still respectful, which was different from how they treated Yuan Huaimin.
After all, just having Chen Jun Xie's platform is enough to put an end to the petty thoughts of those who follow the trend.
This evening, in the main hall of Jiangzhou Hall.
Ouyang Rong sat idle all afternoon, packed his things, and prepared to go on duty with his colleagues.
As soon as he stood up, he saw the figure of a cold and cold girl in palace clothes standing quietly on the long corridor at dusk. He didn't know when he got up.
"The history of women?"
Rong Zhen, whom he had not seen for many days, walked into the main hall door.
He still has the same cold and cold face that he owes money to.
However, the plain white court dress she usually wore in the past was replaced by a water red court dress.
The water-red high-waisted tight-fitting skirt with small sleeves and a short jacket looks pure and elegant at first glance.
Moreover, red can easily make you look fat, but when worn on Rong Zhen, she still looks very thin... maybe it has something to do with the delicate and delicate collarbone that is faintly exposed under her neck.
However, every time Ouyang Rong took the time to look at Rong Zhen's outfit, he couldn't help but wonder if she was still wearing that purple bellyband underneath.
Guilty sin.
Ouyang Rong silently averted his gaze...for fear of hearing the dull sound of a wooden fish clasping merits in his ears.
"Why is Rong Nu Shi here?"
Rong Zhen didn't answer and said softly:
"Ouyang Lianghan, Lin Cheng came to see me yesterday."
"Oh? What did he say?"
Rong Zhen pursed his lips, looked past the question, and said seriously:
"I heard that you declined the position of Commander Shi of the Chinese Army Battalion on the front line?"
"That's what happened."
"Why refuse?"
"If you can't get used to being on the front line, Xunyang is better."
"But what can you do in Xunyang?"
Ouyang Rong thought for a while and said seriously:
"What can you do? It's not like Xunyang can't tolerate me. Isn't this Jiangzhou Sima very good? Naturally, he does what Jiangzhou Sima should do."
Rong Zhen frowned slightly and looked at him for a while, his expression hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Ouyang Rong nodded and said:
"I understand that Rong Nu Shi wants to say that some things may be difficult to accept, but they have already happened, especially the will of His Majesty. It is said that the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, how can the minister disobey the king and the father..."
"That's right. Ouyang Lianghan, what do you think?"
Ouyang Rong smiled:
"It doesn't matter whether you feel it or not, what's important is that it's over."
Rong Zhen heard the second half of the sentence and breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's good if you can figure it out."
After a pause, she added with a serious face:
"However, your feelings are also very important. It's just that there are many people and many things in this world, no matter how big or big they are, they can't be bigger than your father... It's the same for you and me, so remember it."
"Thank you Rong Nu Shi for reminding me."
Ouyang Rong nodded calmly, and then said with a bit of embarrassment:
"Actually, when I come back this time, I also want to take care of Prince Xunyang's Mansion nearby. I don't want to leave too far."
"I see."
Rong Zhen nodded lightly:
"That's good. Before I came here, I guessed that you were the same."
Ouyang Rong said with a smile: "Rong Nu Shi seems to have always trusted me. I never have to speculate maliciously. I don't know how to repay you."
Rong Zhen waved his hand and said in a somewhat nonchalant tone:
"Ouyang Lianghan, I don't know much about your character and temperament yet. As long as you don't act impulsively and do stupid things like you did at Xunyang Pier last time. You are cool, but your life is more important. What happened at Xunyang Grottoes?
I feel quite guilty for not helping you. When Lin Cheng exposed his ambition, I still advised you to stick to the Xunyang Grottoes..."
Ouyang Rong whispered: "Rong Nu Shi is indeed loyal to His Majesty."
Rong Zhen immediately straightened up and said with a surprisingly serious face:
"The sage is the lord of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is devoted to the interests of the country and takes care of everything. Maybe we don't understand some things, but the sage has his own difficulties and difficulties. We need to be considerate and not cause trouble."
Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded.
Immediately, Rong Zhen said again:
"Lin Cheng came to me yesterday. In addition to talking about you not being the new chief minister and expressing some concerns, he also asked me to come over and invite you to attend the Xingzifang statue. He said you are welcome to come at any time."
"Do you think Rong Nushi will go?"
"No. I just want to say something. I don't want you to have any more conflicts."
Ouyang Rong asked back: "You don't want us to conflict...because he is the same as Rong Nushi, Xia Guan Lingtai Lang of Si Tianjian, and is a fellow disciple?"
"no."
Rong Zhen tilted his head and said coldly: "I am afraid that he will seek death and keep provoking you."
"Rong Nu Shi was promoted. Brother Lin stepped on him this time, so he got a soft persimmon."
Ouyang Rong sighed.
Rong Zhen looked at Ouyang Rong's expression. Of course he wouldn't take it seriously, and suddenly said:
"Ouyang Lianghan, Lin Cheng's teacher is the deputy superintendent of Si Tianjian, and Chief Siming also has to take care of some face, so there are some things that you should pay attention to. I also want to teach him a lesson, but you can't touch the red line...
"
"I know, I know."
Ouyang Rong spread his hands helplessly:
"As I said, I came back to do what Jiangzhou Sima should do. I am a little Sima, how can I dare to mess with your disciples, the deputy superintendent of Si Tianjian? I told you that Brother Lin has picked a soft persimmon, no
joke."
Rong Zhen suddenly said: "Don't you dare to offend me? Then why did you offend me before? I am easy to offend?"
Ouyang Rong suddenly became speechless.
Without waiting for his reply, Rong Zhen immediately switched back to the original topic.
"What should Jiangzhou Sima do? Isn't this a sinecure? What should he do?" She looked strange.
Ouyang Rong was noncommittal and asked softly:
"What has Rong Nu Shi been busy with recently?"
"People have been sent to Longcheng to trace the traces of the biggest suspect Liu Zilin.
"I just came back the day before yesterday. I recently heard that there are many poetry gatherings held in Xunyang. I plan to go there and have a look to find out the literary style of the owner of Dielianhua. This thief has great literary style. I don't believe that he has kept the clues.
, as long as I am still in Xunyang City, I will inevitably sing in harmony with other literati’s poems..."
Ouyang Rong nodded and suggested:
"Okay, let's go together from now on. If you have any clues, please remember to call me."
"Why are you calling me? Why don't you usually have anything to do?" Rong Zhen was confused.
"This is what Jiangzhou Sima should do. He does everything except business." He looked serious.
