Chapter 189 New developments (for Li Huayu's fan leader
For this feast, Zhao Ran purchased nearly a hundred taels of food ingredients, so that all the monsters could enjoy the feast.
Looking at the huge team of more than a dozen spirit monsters and two to three hundred monster beasts by the lake, Zhao Ran secretly thought that it was fortunate that these guys had entered the spiritual practice and did not need to eat a meal for ten and a half days, otherwise he would really be destitute.
.
He also saw Mr. Donkey, who had only brought a dozen wives and concubines to Yingtian Mansion to report at the beginning of the year. At this moment, there were again a group of forty or fifty people around him. Zhao Ran couldn't help but was speechless for a while, and called him to his side: "Brother Donkey, Brother Donkey
, you really can’t control yourself wherever you go, can you be more restrained?”
The donkey breeder raised his voice and said, "They are all voluntary!"
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and the two large handfuls of kidneys that were roasting in his hands immediately slipped down. Before they fell to the ground, Linglu Yuyang on the side had quick eyes and quick mouth, and picked them all away with his head.
"Oh Brother Donkey, you can finally speak!"
"I was able to speak last year, okay?"
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"After the old Taoist priest left, you cared less and less about me."
"Oh my god, I'm guilty! Hey, you guys, Mr. Donkey is able to speak, but you still won't tell me?"
All the spirit demons rolled their eyes together. The three-eyed horse prince rolled his eyes the most, almost to the top of his head: "The spirit demons can't speak, so what kind of spirit demons are they? How big of a deal, are they so surprised?"
Mr. Huangshan jumped out and roared: "The surname is San! You are talking to Taoist Master Zhao like this. You haven't eaten enough barbecue. Do you want to eat it?"
Shen Jiangzi was also shaking his head: "Come on, come on, you and I will fight for three hundred rounds!"
Lord Ma said angrily: "How many times have I said that my surname is Ma, not San! If I say it wrong again, I will let you know why Lord Ma has three eyes!"
Zhao Ran ignored them and started chatting with the donkey Jun Hai in his arms. The two of them had been together for seventeen years, and today they were finally able to talk. They really had endless topics to talk about.
After the feast, Zhao Ran threw the scraps and bones to Suchuan Yao and began to think about buying a property.
There are so many spirits and monsters gathering in people's homes. After a long time, there is no solution. Besides, Yuyang will soon marry Hong Zesou's two goddaughters and have his own manor. This is what it should be.
.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Great Ape came over and said, "Dao Zhang, there are always people looking for you these days, and they even leave letters."
Zhao Ran read the post handed over to him, but it was Prince Yu who asked him to come over and continue teaching health-preserving exercises.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and decided to go there.
After not visiting Prince Yu's Mansion for several months, when he came back, there were far fewer people participating in the practice of health-preserving exercises, with only nine people left. Zhao Ran guessed that it might have something to do with the emperor's edict to relax the practice last month.
Zhao Ran still followed the past method and asked King Yu and others to continue practicing.
Half an hour later, the practice ended, and Zhao Ran went to the palace study to have tea with the trio of Yu Wang, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng.
King Yu suddenly got down from his seat and bowed deeply to Zhao Ran: "Please abbot, please save me!"
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, thinking that you were probably unlucky enough to meet Pindao. If anyone else was there, he might be confused by your pretense of shocking words.
With a wave of his robe sleeves, Prince Yu seemed to be hit by a ball of cotton. He involuntarily took two steps back and sat back on the chair. He was still in a daze. Feng Bao saw Zhao Ran's displeasure and thought to himself, "My prince."
, I have reminded you a long time ago that Daochang Zhao is a master of hard and soft. It doesn't matter what your attitude is. He is not threatened and he only talks about reason. How come you are so smart and do this kind of trick?
So Feng Bao quickly changed his mind: "Abbott, I wonder if you know that your majesty has made a decree to establish a crown prince with the approval of the cabinet. Mr. Xia Ge proposed to establish King Yu, but he was retained by your majesty. Mr. Yan Ge again reported to King Jing, and your majesty Zhu approved it.
Already."
Zhao Ran didn't care much about the emperor's appointment of a heir. To put it bluntly, for him, a person who hangs out in the Taoist sect, it really doesn't matter much. The only thing that is involved is that some of Xia Yan's faction are involved.
His friends, such as Gan Shutong, Xia Ji, Zhang Lue and so on.
It was precisely for this reason that he decided to help King Yu depending on the situation that day, and he didn't make it clear yet. It was a typical political speculation.
But now the situation has undergone major changes. The Taoist sect has to walk on two legs. In order to keep the emperor and the Shangsan Palace, Chen Shandao even resigned from the real master who was coveted by countless people. At this time, he will definitely not confront the emperor openly.
In line with Chen Shandao's wishes, the chance of success is very slim.
This was the general trend, and Zhao Ran had no choice but to remain silent for a moment and asked: "When will the edict be issued?"
Zhang Juzheng answered: "Xia Ge's resignation was rejected by His Majesty..."
Although it was dismissed, it showed that the downfall of Mr. Xia Ge had already entered the agenda.
"... Now the edict has been issued to the Sixth Section, and I heard that it has not been returned..."
If this is the case, it means that the crown prince is likely to be King Jing, which is also consistent with the general view that the emperor has just abolished the imperial edict that the emperor is not allowed to practice.
Zhao Ran also had no good solution and asked again: "Has Ting recommended a bachelor to the cabinet? Has Shangshu Gan entered the cabinet?"
Zhang Juzheng sighed: "Yang Yiqing has entered the cabinet. On April 23, after Zhenshitang ruled to abolish the rule that the emperor was not allowed to practice, the emperor asked the cabinet to convene a court meeting. Many people changed their positions, and Gan Shangshu ranked third.
, the first one is Yang Yiqing."
This is the influence of Zhenshitang. A ruling will directly affect the selection of cabinet bachelors and the selection of the crown prince. From this perspective, Zhao Ran suddenly understood Wu Tianshi, Zhao Zhenren and Xu Zhenren at that time.
choice.
Gan Shutong had tried his best, Xia Yan had also tried his best, and they came up with a clever plan and won great fame and great prestige, but so what? When Ting recommended it, he could only be ranked third.
Zhao Ran said: "What are your plans, Your Highness?"
King Yu learned his lesson this time. He looked at Feng Bao and did not dare to be clever again. He said directly: "Abbott, do you think there is still hope for Xiao Wang?"
The question was very direct, which met Zhao Ran's requirements. In the past ten years or so, Zhao Ran had always asked for help from others, so he had to try his best to figure out what others meant. Now he is gradually qualified to listen.
I definitely don’t like others playing tricks on other people’s requests - I can make detours with you and you can figure it out for yourself, but don’t make detours with me, I don’t have time to think about you.
Zhao Ran's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Whether there is hope or not, you can't just look at the present. Everything is developing and changing. When you are desperate, it may be just the beginning of hope. When you think it will come true, maybe there will be a new beginning.
But all thoughts are lost."
King Yu, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other in confusion, confused by Zhao Ran's words. After careful consideration, it seemed that there was something interesting? After thinking about it again, it didn't seem to be the case!
