How should I put it? Jia Cong was in a very different mood at this time.
I only found out more about it with Si Ding, the crown prince of the King of Chu, in the afternoon. In the evening, Prince Zhongshun came to find trouble and basically forced him to write a book to punish him.
If there's anything else you can be polite about, go ahead!
When I arrived at the eldest master's study, I was not surprised that Lian Er was here.
As the old saying goes, Rongguofu has declined, otherwise how could a mere loyal and obedient prince be able to make waves?
Knowing that there was a high probability that he would confront Prince Zhongshun, when making plans to make trouble, he also deliberately inquired about Prince Zhongshun's affairs.
This guy is just an idle prince who failed to seize the throne!
Her mother is quite famous among many Red Mansion fans. She is the famous Concubine Zhengui, which means that behind her stands the most powerful Zhen family in Jinling.
In any case, after this guy failed to seize the throne, he has been completely marginalized nowadays.
Throughout ancient and modern history, this family of princes with the title of "loyalty and obedience" is the only one who has no semicolon, and at the same time, they are full of malice today.
If the emperor was not still alive and took good care of his son, he would have been tormented by the current situation and become unable to take care of himself.
Just like this, during the reign of the Emperor, the previous generation of Duke Rong was not afraid and even fought with him for several rounds.
Now that we are all drowned, no one needs to laugh at anyone, and of course there is no need to be afraid of each other.
At the very least, Jia Cong couldn't understand that the long history of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion in the original Red Mansions frightened the head of the Rongguo Mansion to the point of being at a loss and beating the phoenix egg so that he could no longer take care of himself.
No, the elder's attitude is much more casual...
"You two brothers caused the trouble, so it's up to you two to deal with Prince Zhongshun's anger!"
It was rare that when the eldest man heard that he was having an unpleasant quarrel with someone from Prince Zhongshun's palace, he didn't scold him. Instead, he had a calm attitude, which made the two brothers feel uncomfortable.
Secretly scolding him for being a bitch, Lian Er felt a little unsure in front of the elder, so he simply didn't hide anything and asked directly: "Third brother, do you have any ideas?"
"I invited the Crown Prince of Chu to talk for a while before, and the Crown Prince made it clear that the clan intends to give up on the auxiliary general!"
Jia Cong did not rush to answer, but said something seemingly irrelevant.
"So, very good!"
Lian Er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves also slowed down, and he said with a smile: "As long as the clan does not think that we are unreasonable, our family will not be afraid of facing Prince Zhongshun alone!"
After saying that, he looked at the elder and asked: "Master, what do you think?"
"What's there to say?"
The eldest master's tone was obviously tough, and he sneered: "If we really confront him, Prince Zhongshun won't even think about getting any favors!"
Lian Er breathed a sigh of relief again, turned to Jia Cong and asked: "If this major sex-making case is forced to be pinned on Prince Zhongshun, will there be any problem?"
As expected, he is worthy of being a noble son. If he really wants to be ruthless, he is still quite ruthless. Lian Er's idea is so disgusting.
However, the powerful people in the capital still do this!
“It’s not a big problem!”
Jia Cong answered with a smile, then changed the topic and said leisurely: "It's just that the effect is probably average and it's not very useful!"
"How to say?"
"The clan government will not allow this matter to spread, especially if it involves the royal prince, this is too much!"
Jia Cong talked eloquently and chuckled: "Of course, even if it is of little use, it can still bring Prince Zhongshun into disrepute and make it difficult to do anything in the future!"
"I'm afraid that if I fail to defeat the tiger, I will be bitten instead!"
Before Lian Er could speak, the elder next to him shook his head and objected: "It's better not to do such a taboo thing. Even if it really affects Zhongshun, so what, I'm afraid that today and the clan will feel bad about us!"
"Not only that, I'm afraid even the old lady and the second master won't agree!"
Jia Cong also said: "We cannot mobilize the resources of the government. I am afraid that our strength alone will be insufficient!"
The study suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere became a little solemn.
"You don't have to worry about things in the house!"
The elder, in a rare moment of toughness, sneered: "Zhongshun is so arrogant that he doesn't take the government seriously at all. The old lady and the second son are also very angry!"
Having said this, he paused and said: "Of course, what Lao San said is right. If you want to use the resources in the mansion, don't expect it!"
"What should we do?"
Lian Er frowned and smiled bitterly: "You are a prince after all. It's not pleasant to be stared at by such a guy!"
No matter how idle Prince Zhongshun is, he still has the emperor taking care of him, and he still has the support of top local powerhouses like the Zhen family behind him. He cannot be ignored easily if he wants to.
"I do have an idea, but it's too underhanded!"
Seeing that the elder and Lian Er had no ideas, Jia Cong slowly took out his trump card and said with a smile: "I plan to write a book about flower-making..."
Lian Er's eyes shone, and before Jia Cong finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is it the same as "The Richest Man in the World"?"
Now, even the elder became interested.
In other words, as the New Year passed, the court and the government reopened their offices, and the turmoil caused by the book "The Richest Man in the World" finally came to an end.
The court forces behind the Yangzhou salt merchants were completely defeated!
The big winner on the surface was Wang Ziteng, who was once 'identified' by all parties as the mastermind behind the scenes. After a bloody and fierce battle, he successfully won the important position of Salt Transport Envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Department.
His authority is second only to the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, and he is the second-largest boss in the Lianghuai Salt Administration.
The official who took over as the salt transport envoy to the Huaihe River was none other than Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling!
It can be seen from this that Jia Yucun is the younger brother of Wang Ziteng, and the second master Zheng only "recommends" him.
Not only that, I heard that Jia Yucun was ordered to carry out a major purge of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department after taking office.
At that time, the officials entrained by Wang Ziteng will be able to take control of this rich Yanzheng Yamen.
For this reason, Wang Ziteng was so prosperous during the Chinese New Year that he completely forgot about Jia Cong, the instigator, and really regarded this turmoil as his achievement.
Fortunately, Jia Cong wanted to be like this and had no intention of continuing to participate. He was not qualified to show his face to Wang Ziteng during the Chinese New Year, so he had nothing to say.
As an aside, during the Chinese New Year, the aunt and nephew Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are the most prosperous, and it is also the time when their arrogance surges. Even the old lady has to avoid their sharpness.
If Wang Ziteng can stay in the capital for a long time, I am afraid that the aunt and nephew will take advantage of the situation to join forces and even completely control the Rongguo Mansion, instead of the old lady's detached position and the mode of controlling the core power of the manor.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Wang Ziteng, who had benefited greatly, was driven out of the capital by a group of cabinet ministers to continue to patrol the nine borders.
Wang Ziteng only had time to enjoy his career for a few days, and under repeated urging from the cabinet, he hurriedly left Beijing on the day he opened his office in the first month of the year.
I don’t know how long it will take for him to come back again?
In addition to Wang Ziteng, the apparent big winner, the other big winner is naturally today.
Taking advantage of the waves created, several batches of imperial envoys were immediately dispatched to Jiangnan and Yangzhou. It didn't take a second thought to know that the purpose was to target the Yangzhou salt merchants.
The other court bosses, especially the cabinet bosses, all took action one after another, and more or less, they gained a lot of benefits, either overtly or covertly.
It can be said that the court bosses unanimously targeted the Yangzhou salt merchants who were extremely wealthy. Except for the salt merchants group, which was about to suffer great misfortune, other forces and people also benefited. It was a happy situation for everyone!
I heard that there are already some signs of instability in Yangzhou. This has nothing to do with Jia Cong, the instigator. It should be dealt with by the big bosses in the court today.
But from this, as long as there is no brain problem, you can see how powerful this book "The Richest Man in the World" is.
Even Da Laoye and Lian Er are quite shocking.
When I heard that Jia Cong, the author of such sensational novels as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Richest Man in the World," planned to write a novel about Prince Zhongshun, my first reaction was to feel a chill rising from the soles of my feet to the sky.
I am so surprised……
The next reaction was that Prince Zhongshun was going to be in trouble.
Although I don't know how Jia Cong plans to write about the story of Pai Hua Zi and involve Prince Zhongshun, the eldest master and Lian Er believe that Prince Zhongshun will definitely not be able to please him, and at least he will have a headache for a while.
"Well, since you know what you're doing, I won't bother!"
Although he was very curious in his heart, the elder still forcibly resisted the idea of asking about the specific plot, so as not to hear some information that shouldn't be heard, which would not be beautiful.
Jia Cong and Brother Lian said goodbye and left. After leaving the door, Lian Er couldn't wait to ask: "Third brother, can you tell me what you plan to write?"
"Brother Lian, do you really want to listen?"
Glancing sideways at this guy, Jia Cong smiled maliciously and said "gloomily": "It's not a good thing to know too much about some things. I'm afraid Brother Lian won't be able to sleep for a long time!"
So heartbroken?
Lian Er was taken aback. Although he was worried and worried, he finally chose the same approach as the elder. He suppressed his curiosity and waved his hand: "Since the third brother has already made a plan, I won't ask any more questions."
!”
After saying that, he left briskly and even hummed a tune proudly, but his mood was as wonderful as ever.
"This guy is really stunned and speechless!"
Shaking his head, he slowly returned to the small courtyard where he lived. He walked to eat as usual, and listened to one or two volumes of miscellaneous books in the tone of the little maid. When it got late, he lit several candles with windshields beside the desk.
, spread out the snow-white paper and started writing a new book, with the pen in his hand running like a dragon and a snake, and several menacing big characters jumped out - "The Legend of Wuyou Cave, the God of Kaifeng"!
After looking at the title of the book, Jia Cong's mouth was full of malice, and he couldn't help but mutter: "If nothing goes wrong, I will have no choice but to return to the main world early!"
