Chapter 980: Chu Suiliang plots and takes advantage of others
Wei Shuyu said: "My father has ordered my nephew to come and retrieve the manuscript that was previously given to Chu Shishu."
Chu Suiliang was stunned and asked quickly: "Why?"
Wei Shuyu hesitated and said: "My father...maybe he has changed his mind?"
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he almost cried with excitement.
Old Wei, have you finally woken up?
Do you know how much suffering your brother has endured these days?
Chu Suiliang and Wei Zheng had a very good relationship, which can be described as "an irreversible friendship". They both loved calligraphy and could be called close friends at this point. The most important thing is that it was Wei Zheng who recommended the study of calligraphy in front of His Majesty Li Er. The accomplished Chu Suiliang served as a living minister and often accompanied the emperor. His Majesty Li Er loved his calligraphy. As a result, Chu Suiliang, an ordinary young literary man, replaced the recently deceased Yu Shinan and suddenly became a popular figure around His Majesty Li Er.
This is the gift of knowing someone!
Wei Zhengneng handed over the manuscript recording his life's opinions and advice to Chu Suiliang, which shows his trust in him. But Chu Suiliang got this manuscript, but he was struggling day and night, not knowing what to do.
My hair has turned a lot gray...
This manuscript is simply a hot potato. Take it out to record the book and tell the world that Wei Zheng's goal has been achieved, but the image of His Majesty Li Er is completely ruined. He, Chu Suiliang, has no roots and no foundation, and he only relies on the Holy Family to get to where he is today. With today's status, if you offend a big leader, can you still end up well?
If he does not take it out, or if he gives it to His Majesty Li Er privately, then his status will not only be worry-free but also he can further gain the trust of His Majesty Li Er. But in this way, he will let down Wei Zheng, the person whom Old Wei entrusted before his death. I'm afraid they'll come to settle accounts with him in the underworld, right?
Chu Suiliang almost went crazy because he couldn't do anything about it.
Weighing the importance and considering his own future, Chu Suiliang gradually tended to let Wei Zheng down and handed the manuscript to His Majesty Li Er in private. There was no way, although friendship was important, how could it be as important as his future?
At most, I can wait until Old Wei dies and take more care of his family to make up for today's regrets...
What he thought was good was not the case.
A selfish person who can betray his friends and benefactors for the sake of his future, how could he fight for something irrelevant?
After Wei Zheng's death, it was he who handed this manuscript to His Majesty Li Er, which made His Majesty Li Er furious. He smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone and canceled the marriage between Princess Hengshan and Wei Shuyu. What was Chu Suiliang doing at that time?
He didn't do anything, just watched silently...
Of course, this is something.
Hearing that Wei Shuyu said that Wei Zheng wanted to get the manuscript back, Chu Suiliang felt that the big stone in his heart suddenly disappeared, the sky turned blue and the clouds turned white. He took a long breath and felt comfortable. He smiled happily and said: "Your Majesty, you finally figured it out? Oops. , This is indeed a good thing. I tried to dissuade my father several times, but I always refused to listen and went my own way. Although I knew that it was extremely inappropriate to publish these manuscripts, I was grateful for your kindness and friendship, so I couldn't bear to refuse and was in a dilemma. .”
How did Wei Shuyu know that it had anything to do with whether these manuscripts were published or not?
He had no choice but to follow Chu Suiliang's words and say: "Yes, my father has been in better spirits these days. He probably thought more carefully and changed his mind."
He would not say that it was Fang Junxiang's persuasion that made his father change his mind, nor did he think that stick had that ability.
Chu Suiliang also thought that Wei Zheng had figured it out on his own, and was very happy. He placed a pile of manuscripts neatly wrapped in jute paper on the top of the bookcase, handed them to Wei Shuyu, and said, "They are all here. These are my father's lifetime treasures." Your hard work must be well preserved."
As for what to do if these manuscripts are circulated again in the future, Chu Suiliang doesn't care at all. Anyway, it will have nothing to do with him by then, and there is no way to blame him...
Wei Shuyu took the manuscript and said goodbye.
He was poor at speaking and not sociable, and he didn't know what to say even if he sat for a while.
Chu Suiliang shook his head slightly, "Tiger father and dog son!"
Wei Zheng was as strong-willed and eloquent as a sword all his life. Who would have thought that when he gave birth to a son, he would turn out to be a dull, dull gourd?
After sitting in the study for a while, Chu Suiliang felt that now that Wei Zheng had taken the manuscript back, the matter had come to an end. If he could mention this matter to His Majesty Li Er, not only would it not have an impact on Wei Zheng, but he would also appear to be considerate of you. superior……
Chu Suiliang, who was good at sneaking into camp, immediately changed his clothes, went out and took a carriage straight to the palace.
He was the living minister, the closest official to the emperor. He was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds. Naturally, the imperial guards would not stop him. He was led by a chamberlain and went straight to the Dragon Palace, the emperor's residence.
Chu Suiliang entered the main hall and found out that another minister was being received by His Majesty.
It's Fang Jun...
His Majesty Li Er was talking to Fang Jun about something. When he saw Chu Suiliang, he was a little surprised and said: "Why did Deng Shan enter the palace? If I remember correctly, you are not on duty today."
Dengshan is the name of Chu Suiliang.
Chu Suiliang saluted and said, "I have met Your Majesty, and there is something I want to tell Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Jun.
Fang Jun stood up and said: "The humble minister will leave for now..."
"Hey, it's okay."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand for Fang Jun to sit down, smiled at Chu Suiliang and said, "If you have any questions, just speak up. Fang Jun is not an outsider."
Chu Suiliang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred!
What an honor it is to be able to let the emperor say "he is not an outsider"?
Isn't it just because you have a good father and a good wife?
Suppressing the jealousy raging in his heart, Chu Suiliang handed Wei Zhengming's manuscript recording his usual remarks to him.
His Majesty Li Er immediately became angry!
"What does Wei Zheng want to do? Use my image to reflect Wei Zheng's good reputation? Old man, I'm not done with you! Come here, bring this old man Wei Zheng to the palace for me. I want to ask him face to face, what's wrong with him?" Is your belly filled with the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog?"
No wonder His Majesty Li Er is so angry.
Regardless of whether the relationship between him and Wei Zheng is "a wise king and a wise minister" on the surface or "mutual use" secretly, or whether His Majesty Li Er is setting up a model of Wei Zheng to reflect his own image of being good at accepting advice. In short, Li Er His Majesty is definitely very magnanimous. He once made a promise to Wei Zheng in front of others - to start well and end well!
Since we have been performing this drama for a lifetime, we will continue to perform it until the end of time...
It is said that if someone acts a play for a lifetime, the fake play will become a real play.
At that time, the sage king and the virtuous ministers complement each other, and it will be a good story that will be passed down through the ages. Both of them will find their own place, so why not?
But now Wei Zheng actually stopped acting. Not only did he stop acting, he also wanted to direct another play by himself!
How can His Majesty Li Er endure this?
If this manuscript had been circulated after Wei Zheng's death, the nature of the matter would have fundamentally changed. Wei Zheng was still the iron-clad critic of the generation, upright, upright, strong and noble, and his Majesty Li Er was the negative example that reflected Wei Zheng's greatness. …
Moreover, the angrier His Majesty Li Er becomes and the more he punishes Wei Zheng's descendants, the more great Wei Zheng becomes!
The old man is really sinister!
His Majesty Li Er is furious!
Chu Suiliang was completely dumbfounded. This was not what he expected!
In his opinion, although Wei Zheng made mistakes, he was able to correct his mistakes and correct them, which showed that he was grateful to His Majesty Li Er for his kindness and kindness over the years. After all, if it had been another emperor, he would not have killed Wei Zheng long ago. …
Facing a Wei Zheng who was grateful for his kindness and stopped at the brink, His Majesty Li Er should be pleased. Why is he so angry?
Chu Suiliang secretly complained, if Wei Zheng was brought to confront him in court, wouldn't he be a human being inside and out?
He quickly dissuaded him and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Duke Zheng is also confused for a moment..."
"Fart! Is this just a moment of confusion? This is going to put me in a situation that is beyond redemption. This is going to make me bear the infamy of being a foolish king for eternity! Chu Suiliang, you are nothing! Wei Zheng gave you this manuscript, why did you hide it? Tell me? You didn’t tell me until Wei Zheng got the manuscript back today. If Wei Zheng didn’t change his mind, would you have secretly recorded this in the record and passed it on to future generations? His intentions are to be punished!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious and pointed at Chu Suiliang's nose and cursed.
Chu Suiliang's old face turned pale, cold sweat dripping down his face. He was frightened to death by His Majesty Li Er's anger, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty knows this. How dare I have such selfish motives? It was Wei Chen who tried so hard to persuade me. Duke Zheng just changed his mind and took back the manuscript. The minister just didn’t want to cause discord between His Majesty and Duke Zheng, so he concealed it and failed to report it. Your Majesty knows this for sure!"
Chu Suiliang was able to gain wisdom out of desperation, and attributed Wei Zheng's change of heart to his own persuasion.
In fact, he did persuade him several times, but the problem is that Wei Zheng didn't listen at all...
