"There is some truth in what you said." Liu Bowen said with some regret: "It's good to be young. You are full of enterprising spirit. You can do it when you think of it. You can see whether it succeeds or not. It's not like an old man who is hesitant and hesitant."
"Isn't that what Master taught me? Nothing in this world is guaranteed to happen? As long as the right time, right place, right people and the right people come together, then everything will be over?!" Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Is that what I said?" Liu Bowen laughed dumbly and said, "You kid, don't arrange random quotations for me."
"Hehe." Seeing that Lao Liu saw through it, Lao Liu chuckled and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Master, why don't you see any movement on your side?"
"What's going on?" Liu Bowen asked.
"Didn't you say that Hu Weiyong will be eliminated within a year?" Lao Liu asked.
"Why are you so anxious? This year is only half over." Liu Bowen said calmly: "There is still half a year left."
"Hu Xiang seems to be very honest now." Lao Liu said in disbelief: "If he doesn't act recklessly, it won't be a problem for him to survive for half a year."
"Can he hold back all this time?" Liu Bowen said quietly, "Even if he can, can the people under him hold back?"
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "To tell you the truth, I have not been idle in the past six months. I have been making various preparations."
"I thought Master was just like Zhuge Liang. He could not move his body or move his arms. As long as he thought of a plan, his oars would be wiped out." Lao Liu chuckled.
"The one who used the chain trick to make the oars and oars disappear into ashes was Zhou Gongjin." Liu Bowen said angrily: "You have become an imperial prince and learned how to sacrifice wine. You can't be so unlearned and incompetent anymore, making people laugh."
"This is my level, Master." Lao Liu said helplessly, "That's why I try to show up as little as possible in the Imperial College. Otherwise, those bad guys will really ask me some tricky and weird questions, and they will be embarrassed if they can't answer them.
.”
"Are they asking for advice? They are just trying to make fun of you." Liu Bowen said lightly: "It's not that easy for a Chinese scholar to learn how to sacrifice wine. When I resolutely resigned after working for a month in South Korea, I felt sorry for you."
"Oh, the ink in my belly is not as good as that of a Korean father." Lao Liu sighed and asked tentatively: "Why don't you let your little niece follow me to work and be my secretary. I have seen it all before.
It’s hard for her.”
Liu Li's eyes lit up while he was playing the piano, and he looked at his grandfather expectantly.
"Every girl..." Liu Bowen frowned.
"Can a woman disguise herself as a man?" Zhu Zhen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Who dares to scrutinize the people around me?"
"What should I learn from Zhu Yingtai?" Liu Bowen snorted.
"Oh, forget it if Master doesn't agree." Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "I'll ask Fourth Sister-in-law again..."
"Who says I don't agree?" Liu Bowen immediately lost his temper. Then he glared at him angrily and said:
"You brat, you still dare to take advantage of me. I've never seen anyone as shameless as you, who has two different things to do and is so confident!"
"Master, what you said is too harsh." Zhu Zhen said with a smile, "We are all good friends. When I have difficulties, I can only ask my friends for help."
"Shameless." Liu Bowen spat angrily and said depressedly: "If I had known you were such a bastard, you wouldn't have lured a wolf into my house if you killed me."
"Hehe..." Lao Liu just smiled. Master nodded anyway, so what if the old man was relieved?
Liu Li was thin-skinned, but he couldn't let Old Liu continue to tease him, so he interrupted and asked: "Grandpa, why am I still not convinced that you can handle Hu Weiyong in half a year?"
"Don't change the subject." Liu Bowen glanced at her angrily and said, "I haven't even written my horoscope yet, but my elbows are already turned outward."
"Master, I don't think it's possible either." Lao Liu hurriedly followed, and he and Liu Li started to make noises.
"Okay." Liu Bowen sneered and said: "If you don't show your hands, you think I only have one mouth left - just look at it, within this month, Hu Weiyong will be unlucky."
"Zun Du or fake Du?" Lao Liu immediately said with excitement on his face: "Liu Li, prepare the small bench and watermelon and plum juice. Let's enjoy the show."
"Don't be too happy too early." Liu Bowen shook his head slowly and said, "Once it starts, Hu Weiyong will fight back fiercely. But he won't guess that it's me who is causing trouble, and he will most likely put the blame on your fourth brother. This point
I have to make it clear to you first."
"Really..." Lao Liu laughed and said, "This is also part of Master's plan, right?"
"That's right. King Yan is in charge of the emperor's mission. To deal with him is to slap the emperor in the face." Liu Bowen said calmly: "But they will definitely deal with him. This is something I can't change."
"Well..." Zhu Zhen's expression gradually became serious. He touched his gradually recovering double chin and thought for a moment, then he understood what the master meant. "What my fourth brother did is so hateful. Do Hu Weiyong and his gang already know about it?"
?”
"Isn't this nonsense?" Liu Bowen chuckled and said, "In the spring, your fourth brother recruited spies from all over the world and planted spies in the homes of princes and ministers. If Hu Weiyong had not noticed it, he would not be alive today."
"But this also makes them feel like a thorn in their backs. They have long wanted to pull out this thorn." Liu Bowen continued in a deep voice: "So as long as there is a chance, they will definitely not be able to bear it."
"That's too courageous." Zhu Zhen exclaimed: "In the final analysis, it is the surveillance of old...father Huangan, do they dare to dismantle it?"
"They even dare to rebel. Why don't they dare?" Liu Bowen said quietly: "This is also the reason why the emperor is not at ease with them."
"Oh, it's true." Zhu Zhen nodded and sighed.
The father was worried about Xungui, so he resorted to means; Xungui felt aggrieved and offended, so he resisted; the father became even more worried and resorted to more drastic measures; Xungui became even more aggrieved and resisted even more fiercely, until
The conflict broke out completely...it was an endless cycle.
"So it's not difficult to kill Hu Weiyong." Liu Bowen sighed: "But in the past six months, I have learned that his relationship with Xungui is closer than shown. It is difficult not to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and it is very difficult.
Maybe there’s a lot more mud than radish…”
"It's really..." A few words suddenly flashed through Lao Liu's mind - the Hu Weiyong case!
Isn't that just what Master said? Hu Weiyong actually has only a few members of his family, but the high-ranking civil and military officials he implicated, especially the nobles, can count tens of thousands of them...
No wonder someone like Master is so hesitant.
"Oh, what a sin." Liu Bowen looked at the rustling bamboo sea and exhaled a breath.
"What I mean is," Zhu Zhen thought for a while and said slowly: "Hu Weiyong must be eliminated, and those nobles who followed him can't be retained either. But first, don't be widely implicated, and second, don't harm his family.
. This was not possible before, but now it is not a problem - Tamna Island is very big, and it is not a problem to exile 100,000 people. It really can’t fit in, and there are Ryukyu and Luzon as well.”
"That would be the best, but I'm afraid your father will want to eradicate it." Liu Bowen sighed again.
"I'll find a way." Zhu Zhen said seriously: "He doesn't have the final say in the Ming Dynasty. There are always people who can control him!"
