Chapter 237: The Crown Princess
Lin'an.
After stepping down from the top of the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, he heard that Wu Qian walked up and asked directly.
"You were once the champion of the palace in front of the palace, why did you become like this today? Don't you know who this Jia Rudao is? Being with him doesn't do you much good. ”
When he said this, Wu Qian still had a little pity on his face.
You must know that when he was the champion of Mengyan High School, he praised him a lot, who expected this person to be so virtuous, and even attacked himself in the court, which was really beyond his expectations.
Liu Mengyan shook his head and replied, "Prime Minister Wu, what you said is not right. As the saying goes, there must be grass within five steps, and there must be heroes and martyrs within ten steps. That Jia Rudao's background is not good, but he is also a pillar of the country, what's wrong with me helping him?" Speaking of this, he smiled pointedly, and said: "Could it be that Prime Minister Wu thinks that you have to help you speak to be considered a hero?"
Wu Qian's brows froze, and according to these words, he clearly accused his own party of fighting against differences.
If Zhao Yun heard this, it would be amazing.
"Forget it. Since you decided to do this, I certainly can't stop it. I just hope that you won't regret it in the future. ”
"Please rest assured Prime Minister Wu, I have my own decision, and you don't need to bother. ”
Liumengyan couldn't hide his ridicule, and there was still a little excitement on his face.
Fortunately, with Jia Yidao's help, otherwise he might not be able to pull back a game, of course, this is only the beginning, and there will be more and more means in the future.
At this time, after explaining the situation on the front line with Zhao Yun, Najia Rudao also walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.
"Prime Minister Wu, I'm sorry. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave. Liu Mengyan hurriedly gave up Wu Qian, but ran directly in front of Jia Yidao, and his face was full of smiles.
Wu Qian saw the appearance of the two of them hooking their shoulders and backs, and immediately felt a little disgusted, and vividly deduced what it means to be embarrassed.
"If you really plan to go on like this, then don't blame me for being rude. After all, although the Gundam matter is over, the prince has not stopped. I'd like to see what you plan to do when the emperor dies?"
Secretly thinking about his next move, Wu Qian was not interested in staying here, and immediately left the Qinzheng Palace, ready to plan and start the next round of deployment.
Standing behind, Jia Rudao looked at the other party's figure coldly, and sneered in his mouth: "I thought this guy was just like that." It's just a pity, no matter how hard you try, you're still getting old after all. If you are old, you should step down obediently, so why stay on top?"
At this time, Jia Rudao has become the prime minister of the left, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person, but Wu Qian is the same as him, and he is listed as the right prime minister.
This kind of setting is that Zhao Yun is well versed in the strategy of the Song Dynasty of "the party but not the group, divide and rule".
In this way, he can lead his ministers to compete with each other, and then reduce the strength of the civil administration, so that it will not be monolithic, so that it will not threaten the monarchy.
Zhao Yun has been an emperor for decades, and he can be said to be quite familiar with this setting!
Closely following Jia Nidao's side, Liu Mengyan also returned to their mansion with Jia Nidao after leaving this diligent palace.
There are too many eyes and ears gathered in the palace of diligence, and if they are discussed there, it is easy to be discovered.
Just as he was leaving, Jia Rudao showed a little sadness: "It's just a pity." My two great generals died in a foreign land, but they were in a hurry, but they were not brought back. ”
Because he has always liked to promote weaving, Jia Rudao is also known as the prime minister of promoting weaving, which is also criticized by courtiers.
"General, Prime Minister, are you talking about promoting weaving?"
Liumengyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately took out a wooden box from his sleeve, the color was light purple, and there was a rich fragrance, which should be made of high-quality wood: "Speaking of this, promote weaving." I've had a bit of a harvest lately, I wonder if the prime minister can take a look at it for me?"
The wooden box was opened, and a strong voice came out of it, and the two looked at it together, and saw that in this wooden box, there was a weaving about the length of an index finger, which was about the length of the index finger, and the legs of the weaving were quite powerful, and a dark green coat looked particularly spiritual.
Seeing this, Jia Rudao suddenly laughed.
"So you like this, in that case, you might as well go back with me and have a fight." ”
"Since the prime minister is interested, how can he not obey?"
The two of them got together and immediately returned to the mansion.
After finding a stone pavilion and asking the attendants to bring tea and meals, the two gathered around the stone table and began to fight crickets. Liumengyan had no intention of fighting crickets when he came, so the weaving he brought was quickly defeated, and Jia Yidao on the other side also felt extremely happy, as if all the tiredness accumulated before was completely dissipated in this fighting cricket.
Seeing that Jia Yidao was now relaxed, Liu Mengyan shook his head again and again: "The prime minister is really talented, I have already failed." ”
"You. I don't think you had any intention of doing this, otherwise how would you have failed?" Jia Rudao replied with a smile.
"Haha. Prime Minister, you look down on me. Although I am stronger than knowledge, where can I compare with you in my skills?" Liu Mengyan laughed at himself: "Just like this time, if it weren't for the luck of you, otherwise we would be in danger." ”
Thinking about the period above the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Mengyan still felt scared.
If it weren't for Jia Yidao's timely letter to Cao Shixiong and Xiang Shibi to tell the matter of Gao, I am afraid that the two of them are now imprisoned in their cells, where would they still have today's glory?
"That's true. It was also unexpected that Wu Qian actually grasped this matter. It seems that we need to be cautious. Seeing that the other party mentioned this, Jia Rudao also felt uneasy, so he threw the wooden stick in his hand aside.
Liu Mengyan was also full of ambition, and complained: "Then according to what the prime minister said, how should we act?"
"I expect that the other party should start from the prince's side. After all, the crown prince is stupid, how can he know the current situation? It can be said that as long as they operate a little, they are afraid that the position of the crown prince will have to be changed. Jia Rudao analyzed.
Liu Mengyan was stunned for a moment, and with a little disbelief, he said, "Depose the crown prince?
"Otherwise, it's also the prince who is blunt and makes this kind of thing, otherwise how can he give the other party a handle?" Jia Rudao scolded in a low voice, not at all restrained because the insulting person was the prince: "I don't know what happened to the official family at that time, and they actually picked this kind of ramming?"
Liu Mengyan's face changed slightly, and he persuaded in a low voice: "No matter what, that prince is the son of King Rong after all, and he is also the nephew of today's official family, you better restrain yourself, if it is heard, it will not be good for you." ”
"Yes. Jia Rudao retracted slightly, and then ordered: "Since it involves the prince, this matter is also a little difficult to handle." You are a servant of the ministry, so go and find out to me where that woman came from?"
"Cha Na woman, are you going to attack this woman?" Liu Mengyan looked happy and immediately laughed.
Jia Rudao closed his head slightly, and replied appreciatively: "That's right." If we can convince this woman to change her mind, then the so-called misfortune will not be a calamity, will it!"
"The woman?" Hearing this, Liu Mengyan immediately responded: "Prime minister, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter." ”
He is the champion, but Jia Rudao was just from the same Jinshi at the beginning, and the two can be said to be far apart, like the difference between clouds and mud.
But today, it seems that Liumengyan is a dog like Jia Dao, and it is no wonder that Wu Qian has this kind of sigh.
Jia Yidao breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Since you have made a move, then I am relieved." There are many thoughts in my heart, but I plan to go to the palace tomorrow to see Zhao Xuan and confirm the other party's condition.
Now that Zhao Yun's physical condition is getting worse and worse, everyone can see that he is about to die.
Whether it was to meet the prince or to maintain power, Jia Rudao inevitably dealt with Zhao Xu.
On the other side, Na Liumengyan also directly found the whole clan.
Of course, he did not go empty-handed, but ordered his subordinates to prepare many congratulatory gifts, and hired dozens of wrestlers to deliver these congratulatory gifts to the other party's doorstep with gongs and drums along the way.
"Dare to ask my lord, why are you looking for me today?"
Seeing such a formation, the whole guard panicked for a while, and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Liu Mengyan bowed directly and said with a smile: "Haha." Today, I am here to congratulate you. With a wave of his hand to the people behind him, those wrestlers carried these congratulatory gifts one after another, but they directly crossed the threshold and put all the things in the courtyard.
This courtyard is not very big, and now that it is stuffed with so many people and things, it immediately looks very cramped.
The mother and daughter in the room also noticed the movement, but they didn't dare to go out of the door, but just pushed open the window in the inner hall and opened their mouths to ask, "Daddy, what happened?"
"Is this Ling Ai?"
Liu Mengyan followed the sound and looked over, and saw that behind the window, there was a beautiful and lovely girl hiding inside, it should be the woman who was harassed by Zhao Hui at the beginning.
Quan Wei closed his head and replied, "That's right. It's a pity that because of some things, the dog girl can't go out to pick up customers, and I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay! What's more, with her current status, I'm a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and I don't dare to slack off, how dare I offend it?" Liu Mengyan said with a smile.
Quan Wei's eyes blinked, feeling confused: "Identity? I'm really sorry for the adult, I don't understand what you mean!"
"I don't understand, I came in a hurry, but I didn't inform you. Your daughter has now been chosen as the crown princess. Liu Mengyan laughed loudly, and there was smugness in his voice.
That's right, that's the strategy he and Jia Nidao have developed.
As long as Zhao Xuan and the woman in front of him are married, the so-called harassment will naturally not count, after all, what is the matter between husband and wife?
"Crown Princess? this, this-this-this-this!"
Hearing the news at first glance, Quan Wei suddenly felt dizzy, and it was difficult to stand firm for a while, but he was planted on the ground with a "bang".
"What's going on?"
With outstretched hands and godless eyes, Quan Wei had a lot of guesses, but he didn't expect this kind of ending.
Liu Mengyan smiled: "Your daughter was elected as the crown princess, that is a great thing." Shouldn't you be happy?"
"But——, but—"
Quan Wei tried hard to open his mouth, wanting to say something, but Liu Mengyan looked at him deadly, making him extremely uncomfortable, and the anger in his heart was all suppressed.
In Lin'an City, who doesn't know that Zhao Xuan is a dull person, and he is also fond of beauty, and he is a frequent visitor to the brothel in the city.
This kind of person, after anyone knows, is afraid that he can't hide from it, where can he dare to be with his in-laws?
In the hall, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Daddy!"
It was crisp and pleasant, and you could hear how heartbroken the girl was.
After being woken up by this call, Quan Wei suddenly came to his senses, and Liu Mengyan felt a little frightened, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you accept it? Don't forget, the other party is the prince! This opportunity cannot be easily missed." ”
"I know!"
The three bland words made Liu Mengyan start to get nervous, and he continued to ask.
"Do you still want to say no?"
"That's right!"
Hearing these two words, Liu Mengyan felt extremely annoying, and his voice couldn't help but carry a bit of threat, and shouted: "Tell me why?"
According to his own thoughts, after the other party heard the news, he should at least kneel on the ground with double happiness and look grateful, but the other party straightened his waist, which made Liu Mengyan start to be afraid.
"Because she's my daughter. I couldn't push her into the fire pit. ”
Quanwei was extremely calm at the moment, as if he had seen through everything.
Liu Mengyan's smile stiffened, and he emphasized in his mouth, "Fire pit, do you know what you're talking about? She can become the crown princess, and ordinary people don't have this kind of treatment." If this thing fails, then Zhao Xuan will basically be finished, so Liu Mengyan understands that he must complete this.
It's a pity that Liu Mengyan miscalculated one thing, not everyone will give up their dignity to regain power.
Quan Wei replied calmly: "Of course I understand. But I know better what it is within the walls of that palace. I can't sacrifice my daughter's future and push her into that hopeless palace wall. Sweeping through those congratulatory gifts, Quan Wei showed a little envy.
Among these congratulatory gifts, there are some fine jewelry, even those things like gold and silver, and there are not a few.
If you get these things, your family should be able to get out of poverty and embark on the pinnacle of life.
But when he thought of what might happen to his daughter, Quan Wei shook his head and expressed his attitude.
"Good. ”
Liu Mengyan's eyes erupted with fire, his cheeks were red, and he felt that the other party's eyes seemed to be mocking him.
Wu Qian didn't care, but the person in front of him was just a small seventh-grade official, and he dared to be so arrogant in front of him, and Liu Mengyan felt a little unacceptable.
"Someday, I'll let you take it. ”
With a wave of his hand, he took all these congratulatory gifts away as when he first came, leaving no trace.
