When Prince Jin'an had the opportunity to worry about the safety of the adults in the hall walking on rainy days, others did not know.
It wasn't until the meeting dispersed at two hours that Mr. Chen took the letter from a sweaty boy.
The boy was panting and couldn't even speak. He obviously came in a hurry. When he opened it again, he saw that the handwriting on it was messy. It was obvious that he had written in a hurry.
"...Soldiers are weapons that must be used as a last resort. Redundant troops must be organized and trained, and elite generals must be selected for use. How can they be accomplished in one fell swoop? They should be planned slowly. If defeated in one battle, all the troops and generals in the line will be wiped out. This is so desolate.
The heart destroys its own foundation..."
Looking at the messy and almost indecipherable characters, Mr. Chen did not complain at all. Although there were no secrets in the palace, it was not easy to quickly spread the message of the ministers here.
Mr. Chen is more concerned about the content written on the paper.
Zhang Jiangzhou actually spoke?
He actually spoke?
And he still impeached two people at once!
The original two outcomes of advancement and retreat suddenly became three, neither advancement nor retreat!
The situation that had been deadlocked for a long time changed in the blink of an eye, but this change must have taken both sides by surprise and unwillingly.
how so?
Why did he suddenly speak out?
Jiangzhou…
Academy…
Cheng Jiaoniang…
Old Mrs. Chen's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he himself was shocked by his own thoughts.
It's really baffling, what does he want this little lady to do?
Could it be because both of them are from Jiangzhou?
But the two people are completely different.
A great Confucian was able to name Jiangzhou and was known as Mr. Jiangzhou.
Although one can also be called Jiangzhou, there are two more words at the end, Jiangzhou Fool.
How could he think of the latter just as he thought of the former?
Isn't it possible that just because Jiangzhou fool went to Mr. Jiangzhou's academy, Mr. Jiangzhou would go to court and interfere?
Are you kidding...
In a teahouse next to Imperial Street, Mr. Zhou was sitting on the floor with a solemn expression. In front of him was also a small official, talking in a low voice.
"...The King of Chu has such a slim waist, so many people die from hunger in the palace. His Majesty is happy in one battle and angry in another. He changes his orders every morning and every night. This goes on for a long time, and the ministers on the border are in panic. There is no peace on the border anymore..."
The expression on Mr. Zhou's face became more and more relaxed as he told the story, and in the end he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
He simply laughed.
The clerk opposite him hurriedly stretched out his hand to pat him and booed him.
Mr. Zhou tried his best to suppress his laughter.
"It's not unusual for one Principal Liu to get wind disease, but it's exciting for two or three to get it!" He said in a low voice, "This fool never disappoints people, and always surprises them.
…”
At this point he shook his head again.
"However, this kind of surprise must not fall on me."
Later, in another teahouse, Mr. Dong was also facing a clerk. Different from the previous ones, he took an extra step, which was to give the clerk a flying money coupon.
The clerk looked at the coupons carefully and then started to speak.
"...the military situation and the situation on the battlefield are changing rapidly, so there are generals who are not receiving orders from the emperor. You are far above the court, but you are giving instructions on the border wars. You have no idea about the military situation or the sufferings in the army. Why don't you eat?
Minced meat…”
"...You each shout to thank the world, to correct the discipline, and to set a warning to others. Do you really know the shortcomings of the military? Just fight for the sake of fighting, fight for the sake of fighting, punish for the sake of punishment, hold on to one thing
With all the talk and confusion, are you doing it for military and political matters, or are you trying to control the northwest military for future rewards..."
The junior official has never had the opportunity to witness such arguments between courtiers in his life, but this does not prevent him from being able to imagine the scene just by listening to it. He can't help but foam at the mouth, and he can even recite the words he heard fluently.
But the businessman pouring night fragrance in front of me really didn't understand the charm. After hearing a few words, he raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Don't tell me this, I don't understand it either. Just tell me, will you kill those deserters?" he asked.
"How can adults talk about such trivial matters!" the clerk said with a look of disdain, "What we are talking about now is the candidate for the Northwest Economic and Strategic Envoy, as well as whether the military generals on the northwest line should be retained or withdrawn, and who should be the replacement?
…”
"These matters are none of my business." Mr. Dong interrupted him again and asked urgently, "I just want to know how those deserters will be punished."
The clerk stared.
"Are you sick? You spend so much money just to find out about this?" he asked.
"I spend my money however I like!" Mr. Dong also said with a glare.
Are you fooled by the night fragrance...
The clerk was a little helpless.
"I guess he won't die," he said.
Mr. Dong’s eyes were bright.
"Is it true that I can't die?" he asked in a loud voice.
"Although it is not clear what His Majesty's final decision was, it seems that Wang Butang's guilt has been made clear and he will never be used again, and several of his close generals were dismissed. Jiang Zhoufengxiang, recommended by Chen Xianggong, was allowed to send the emperor's personal supervisory envoy to the northwest to verify the military situation.
Distinguish the pros and cons..." the clerk continued.
"What about the deserters? What are you doing with these useless things!" Mr. Dong couldn't help shouting again.
"You're so fucking stupid because of the night fragrance! This major matter that everyone was so quarreling over was barely resolved by taking a step back. Everyone is busy deciding how to deal with it. Who cares about those deserters! They didn't care about it in the first place.
Whether they live or die has nothing to do with these adults! It’s just an excuse!” The junior official couldn’t help shouting.
…………………………..
The yard was a mess with servants coming and going, large and small bags being loaded into cars.
"Dad, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Madam Dong shouted.
"Is this called urgent? This is called just right, neither early nor late." Master Dong said, directing the servants to load the car.
"Then Brother Xu and the others haven't been released yet!" Madam Dong said anxiously, "Aren't you afraid of what might happen? What if we are still sentenced to death, or if we have to escape the death penalty and have to escape alive, then they won't let us go, certainly not
Let us run out of the city!"
"There is no chance." Mr. Dong said with some certainty, "If the adults don't care, then there is room for negotiation. For that lady, this little room is enough, and there will definitely be no problem.
So let’s walk quickly and she won’t pay attention to us.”
"Dad." Mrs. Dong stood still and refused to leave, with a bit of reluctance, "Well, let's meet when Brother Xu comes out..."
"See you for what?" Mr. Dong immediately lowered his face and shouted, "It's all because of your meeting that you caused such trouble! You want to see me again! You want to see me again! After you see me, I'll think about what happened again, and then try again
Are you taking it out on us?"
"This matter was all done by Xiang Qi and has nothing to do with us. Brother Xu will not blame us!" Madam Dong shouted.
Mr. Dong sighed.
"A slap can't make a sound. If people have evil thoughts as sins, you are the one who provoked them. Xiang Qi is the principal offender, and you are the accessory. Both the master and the accessory are offenders. No one can escape!" he shouted, "
Even if Xu Maoxiu is fine this time, his life will be long. Who can guarantee that he will be safe and sound all his life? It doesn't matter if he is safe and sound. Once something happens, people will think of what happened this time and be angry about what happened this time."
"Dad, you are talking nonsense. How can you blame us for what happens next?" Madam Dong said with a frown.
Did what happened this time scare dad out of his wits?
"You won't blame me?" Master Dong snorted and looked askance at his daughter, "Do you still remember your clay doll?"
Madam Dong was stunned for a moment.
"Dad...it's all your fault for breaking my clay doll..." Mr. Dong imitated his daughter's voice and said, "If it wasn't like this, there would be no need to buy it. If you don't buy it, it won't rain."
If my mother gets sick, she won’t be able to survive if she doesn’t get caught in the rain... Then she won’t..."
"Okay daddy." Madam Dong shouted, interrupting Mr. Dong.
Mr. Dong looked at her, and Mrs. Dong lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"Si Niang, people always have to find excuses for what happens to them to make themselves believe that it is not their fault." He said, "Forget that this is all fate."
"Dad..." Mrs. Dong shouted aggrievedly.
"Okay, Si Niang." Mr. Dong sighed again and looked at his daughter, "Give up. If you don't give up, you will only end up harming yourself and others. If it's not yours, it's not yours. This is all
It's meant to be."
Madam Dong's tears fell and she covered her face with her hands.
"Let's go, Si Niang, forget it." Mr. Dong said, turning around and walking away first.
Is it all fate?
Madam Dong looked down at the skirt ring hanging from her waist. It was not gold, silver or jade, but a piece of stone polished.
She reached out and picked it up, rubbing it in her palms.
This is the only thing that Brother Xu has given to me since they met. No, it is not a gift, it is something that I forced...
Suddenly, someone suddenly knocked her down.
Madam Dong groaned, and the stone ring in her hand fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
"You!" Madam Dong raised her eyebrows and shouted, looking beside her.
The two young children backed away somewhat timidly.
"Mother..." they shouted weakly, "we didn't mean it..."
Madam Dong looked at them and finally sighed, forcing out a smile.
"It's okay," she said, reaching out to hold the hands of her two sons, "Let's go in the car, and grandpa will take us out to play."
Seeing that their mother was not angry and told them to go out to play, the two children cheered happily and jumped out holding Madam Dong's hand.
People and cars came and went in the yard, and the stone rings that fell to the ground were quickly trampled, crushed and mixed with dust.
"The family who poured Yexiang ran away."
Zhou Lang said, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang standing in the corridor.
"Do you want to chase him back? Or kill him on the spot?"
"You make the decision yourself." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Saturday Lang frowned.
"How can I make the decision in your affairs?" he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang put down the pen in her hand.
The maid took away the paper she had written on and let it dry.
"Since it's my business, why do you need to ask more questions?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Can't you speak properly?" Saturday Lang said with a glare.
Cheng Jiaoniang stood up.
"It's you who doesn't talk to me properly," she said.
What a mess!
Saturday Lang snorted and raised his hands.
"Then can Qin Shisan talk to you properly?" he asked later.
Cheng Jiaoniang ignored it and stepped out of the study. Behind her, the maid had already hung up the words she had written today.
Even these days, Cheng Jiaoniang has not changed her daily routine, writing, practicing archery and taking a nap as usual.
The only person who can do this is an old man who has experienced all the vicissitudes of life.
Or, as the lady herself said, she has no heart, so she just does things that are not right for others, and is ruthless and insensitive.
"Qin Shisan...what did you do in private?" Zhou Lang asked.
"We are just talking," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Speak? What words can you say that can change things in the DPRK so much?" Zhou Lang said.
"That's ridiculous." Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and said.
This is the look! This is the look!
Back then, this idiot sitting in the hall of the Cheng family looked at me like this!
Zhou Lang gritted his teeth and stared.
"Get the car ready." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Brother Jin responded and ran out to rent a car.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Lang asked.
"Blacksmith shop." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Blacksmith shop? Why go to a place like that?
"You're not worried at all about those deserters? They haven't been released yet." Zhou Lang said, "You're so confident."
Cheng Jiaoniang turned to look at him again.
"Isn't it your father who handles these things?" she said.
So I trust you and trust my uncle to succeed immediately?
Saturday Lang had a stiff face.
"So, why don't you talk to me properly?" Cheng Jiaoniang said another word, turned around and walked away.
So, always say stupid, ridiculous, unnecessary, nonsense.
This Jiangzhou idiot!
Zhou Lang gritted his teeth and looked at the woman's back.
"Hey, what did you do with Qin Shisan this time?"
He raised his feet to catch up.
At the same time, Qin Shisan was stopped by his father as he was about to walk out.
"Thirteen, what did you do this time?" Qin Shijiao asked.
"What did you do?" Qin Shisanlang asked with some confusion.
"How many times have you been to the government office..." Qin Shizong ignored his son's pretense and continued, twirling his beard lightly, "...Is it because of the Zhou family's affairs again?"
Qin Shisanlang smiled and nodded.
"Yes, father, Taipingju has something to do with the Zhou family after all. Those deserters are one of the owners of Taipingju and Shenxianju written in black and white. If something happens, the Zhou family will not be able to escape the relationship.
"He said, "I didn't do anything else, I just inquired about some news from the adults in the court..."
Speaking of which, I felt a little uneasy.
"Father, I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"
Qin Shitou shook his head and looked at his son.
"You didn't cause me any trouble." He said, "It's just..."
"Just what? Father, please tell me." Qin Shisanlang said seriously.
Qin Shidao looked at his son, wondering whether he was puzzled or he hesitated to speak.
"How on earth did you do it?" he asked suddenly.
This nonsense made Qin Shisanlang stunned.
"How did you do that?" he asked, looking confused.
Qin Shidao could completely ignore his son's confused look.
"It was clear that the winner was about to be decided, but why did Mr. Jiangzhou suddenly intervene and make it impossible to win or lose?" he asked.
Qin Shisanlang looked at his father.
"Father, are you asking me?" he asked with a wink, and straightened his expression as he spoke, with some thought, "I think everything is the Holy Will after all."
Qin Shidao looked at his son for a moment
"It's really strange. The last time you went to the government office several times because of the Zhou family's affairs, Liu Xiaoli suddenly fell ill. This time, you went to the government office several times because of the Zhou family's affairs. What Chen Shao and Gao Lingbo had planned for a long time turned out to be the result.
Unexpectedly..." he said with a half-smile.
