.
"Li Chunfang, what's wrong with him?" Lu De asked in confusion. It's no wonder that Xu Jie was in the cabinet all day long and rarely returned home. He was a very depressed person, and he kept all his thoughts in his heart. At most, he would discuss with Zhang Juzheng. If it weren't for Xu Jie's internal injuries this time, he wouldn't have talked about these things with them.
Of course, the two friends were not idle. Lu De was responsible for dealing with things that Xu Jie was inconvenient to do but had to do. Li Xiang was responsible for collecting information for Xu Jie and knew a lot of inside information, but he was very popular and would not tell Lu Deluàn.
But overall, the level of the staff around Xu Jie is much worse than that of the Silence side, which is actually normal... After all, like Silence, a leader who can tolerate a few staff members who are very smart and close to demons from time to time seems to be a little stupid, after all, is a minority. Most of them are superiors, and they still like the people around them who are simple, obedient and able to work.
The more wise and powerful the superior, the more this happens. If silence is not too big and deeply feels that his ability is limited, he will not be immune to the vulgarity.
So at this moment, Xu Jie could only ask Li Xiang to explain to Lu De: "During noon yesterday, on Chang'an Street, Zhang Taiyue and Li Chunfang started arguing. In the afternoon, the latter went to Qipan Hutong to visit him. In the evening, the incident of the tutoring department in advance happened." Li Xiang said softly: "Yuan Weng judged that he was going to rebel."
"He has long had this kind of thought!" Xu Jie's anger was not pretending, and his face was twisted and said: "Wang Tingxiang has confessed to me. The first candidate of the same year was Li Chunfang, who was the top scholar of the same year... I just learned that Teng Xiang and Li Chunfang from the East Factory were both fellow Yangzhou villagers. They had been hooking up for more than ten years, but he did things without any leakage and was never known to outsiders."
"Since you're not leaking, why do you reveal such a big flaw this time?" Li Xiang didn't say much, but he could always ask questions.
"It's just done on purpose!" Xu Jie frowned and said, "I just can't figure it out. How dare he take such a risk? Can't he treat others as a fool? Do you really think he can laugh to the end?"
"What do you care about him? Yuan Weng killed him first!" Lu De said angrily.
"Haha..." Li Xiang smiled and said, "The words are rough and the reason is not rough. No matter what tricks he is, he can only be gray-shaved if he is not strong enough."
These two guys couldn't put forward any suggestions on building the building, and even interrupted Xu Jie's precious ideas... You should know that inspiration is often fleeting, and if you don't catch it, you may regret it for life.
"That's right..." Xu Jie couldn't think of it, and was disturbed by them, so he let it go for the time being: "Zhang Taiyue will come over later. Mr. Lu told the front yard not to let him go, and let him go for a few days before talking about it."
"Really?" The two of them thought to themselves that you are old and you can calculate and calculate.
Xu Jie nodded and stopped talking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although Lu De was skeptical, he still hurried out to pass the message and waited in the room to see if Zhang Juzheng would come.
It didn't take long for the two of them to wait, and it took only one meal. A large sedan chair that only one first- and second-grade officials could make was parked in front of the mansion.
Seeing Zhang Juzheng's personal butler You Qi through the crack in the window, Lu De was completely convinced and said to Mén, "Our prime minister is really amazing."
Ménzi smiled and said, "You haven't seen something even more amazing." Then he greeted you and said politely to You Qi, "Master Qi, my prime minister is sick. The old lady has given orders and will not see any guests."
"My master is here to visit the old prime minister." You Qi is a scene man, especially in recent years, and he has become more versatile. He enthusiastically held the hand of the man, and with the cover of his sleeve, he sent a 'Rising Long' to the other party and said, "Besides, my master can't be considered a guest."
To his surprise, the Mén actually pushed the silver bill back and said apologetically: "I didn't say it clearly, no one saw him. I think President Zhang Ge is a human being."
You Qi rolled his eyes and couldn't say, 'Our master is not a human being!' He was already secretly yelling in his heart because he knew this son very well... In fact, he was also greedy for money, but after all, he was a former official in the Prime Minister's Mansion and had to talk about food... In layman's terms, he would not ask for money when he couldn't do anything.
Now he actually doesn't want money, so he will die. You Qi saw sweat on his forehead and begged for help, "Brother, help me, go in and ask, even if I really don't see you, we'll be fine." He is not an ordinary housekeeper, but a helper with Zhang Juzheng, Lu De and Li Xiang's two-in-one function. He knows a little about his own situation, so he also spent a lot of money and added another fifty taels.
The man was to make money, and the other was not sure what would happen in the future. He did not dare to offend Mr. Zhang, so he put away his sleeves without any fireworks and reluctantly said: "Then wait." Lu De was still inside, and he did not dare to ask You Qi to go to the room for tea.
As a result, You Qihui had a wrong idea and cursed there: "It's a nǎinǎi, I can't buy a sixty tael of silver! It's so damn it!" When he thought that his master was still waiting to reply, he quickly turned around, but saw that Zhang Juzheng had already got out of the sedan chair.
Three steps at a time, You Qi stepped forward to support Zhang Juzheng, and while swaying his cloak back for him, he said, "Master, how good you are waiting in the sedan chair, it's cold outside."
Zhang Juzheng ignored him and just looked at the plaque of the 'Xu Mansion' with a cold face. Because it was the prime minister's mansion, there was the Jinyiwei of the Guards in front of the Mén, and there were people from the Warriors guarding both ends of the alley. It was very empty and quiet, making him feel a little lonely.
"Oh..." You Qi felt very uncomfortable when he saw the master like this. He was actually a prostitute. He would not have become a slave as a scumbag. However, after he was poor and rescued by Zhang Juzheng, he was impressed by his temperament and wisdom and ambitions. He believed that this was a Qianlong who must have been to the sky, and he changed his name and was willing to become a housekeeper for him. It was not the kind of nominal, but the kind that was real and unreduced.
Zhang Juzheng was polite to him, and always called him: "Chu Bin, it seems that the Master Xiang will not see me anymore."
"It's not necessarily true. Xu San didn't go in and ask." You Qi comforted the master and said, "The old prime minister may be really sick. The grandmaster felt sorry for him to rest." The first sentence was still cheering, but the next sentence changed to a vaccination.
Zhang Juzheng nodded and stopped talking.
The master and servant waited for a while, and the son Xu San came back and said apologetically: "The master is asleep. The lady said there is something wrong. I will talk about it when the master's health is better." But the money will not be returned.
"Then please transfer the supplements I brought to Master Xiang." Zhang Juzheng was mentally prepared, so his expression could still remain elegant: "Then say to my master's wife, and Juzheng came to visit his teacher..." After that, he tightened his neck tightly, turned around and strode away.
In that room, You Qi had already lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. After the master got into the sedan chair, he said in a long voice: "Get up the sedan chair..."
Looking at the official sedan chair far away, Ménzi sighed: "It's really a school..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the official sedan chair, Zhang Juzheng sat upright, his expression was not shaky, but his hands wrapped in his sleeves made his knuckles turn white, his nails pierced the palms, and his dazzling blood oozed out.
If, after he gave up the luxury of having a head-on confrontation with Shen Mo yesterday, what happened last night clearly told him clearly... This is a war that does not belong to his level, and he doesn't even have the qualification to play Yin.
Only he himself can understand how heavy this hit his proud heart. What's more sad is that he must immediately apologize to Xu Jie and regain the protection of his teacher in order to survive the political situation... Otherwise, the overwhelming water swept over, and he could not bear it if he could do all his strength.
However, Xu Jie, his good teacher, actually turned him away... If it were ordinary people, they would collapse directly. Fortunately, he was Zhang Juzheng, and would only suffer internal injuries and would not affect his judgment.
This time, if Wanlun is not dead, it is even more unlikely that Wang Tingxiang will die, and the case will continue to be tried... There are two possibilities here: if Mr. Xu comes forward or fails. If he comes forward, he will turn into a fight between gods and immortals. Then these mortals will think that they will be right. They will either follow the New Year or suffer together, and there is nothing to say.
But now that the old Xu is closed, he doesn't seem to be trying to stand out, so Li Chunfang is likely to be dragged out. I thought it would be difficult to let Li Chunfang fight this game alone, although it was difficult, but it was not impossible. However, the latest news said that Li Chunfang had been to Shen Mo's house yesterday. If he reached any agreement, it is unknown whether he would join forces with him.
Zhang Juzheng meditated for a moment, but he did not leave any evidence. If he wanted to accuse himself, he could only rely on Li Chunfang's red mouth and white teeth. But Li Chunfang had to arrange himself into what he wanted to involve himself? So this is a situation of killing 800 enemies and losing one thousand of them. Li Chunfang probably wouldn't know how to use it, so he is still safe.
But what if Li Chunfang insists on harming others and not being selfish? Then everyone will die together! Whenever he and Li Chunfang stop, Shen Mo will face two possibilities. One is that the two live in peace, Teacher Xu retreats, Shen Mo; the other is that they live to the death with Teacher Xu... No matter who dies, who survives, the one who survives will be condemned by morality and have to leave the political arena.
So it is impossible to live to the death, but it is impossible to become Xu Jie's person in silence... Not to mention anything else, an insurmountable obstacle is that the two of them have their own team. When they come to the stage silently, their people will also come to the stage. There are only so many seats, and Xu Jie's people will have to step down. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
Xu Jie is a sensible person. Instead of staying until the other party is too big to conflict, it is better to come early and have fun. This is also his motive for acquiesceing against Hu Zongxian... Not to mention clearing obstacles for students, he is not his own son, and Teacher Xu is not so selfless.
By the same token, Xu Jie would definitely choose to settle with Shen Mo this time in order to avoid future conflicts and protect himself, or Li Chunfang... Only students like him and Li Chunfang who are single and alone and easy to control are the most suitable person... Zhang Juzheng had no conflicts in this regard. A real man must be more noble and said, "To continue his governance direction." He would do the same if he had done this.
Finally, Zhang Juzheng concluded that Xu Jie would definitely stand out and protect himself this time... Why didn't Li Chunfang do it? It was because he had to protect himself, but he had to protect him one and two. The difficulty was self-evident. With Zhang Juzheng's understanding of Teacher Xu, he would definitely choose an easier plan and use Li Chunfang as a prop.
He believed in his judgment and Xu Jie's ability. After thinking through it, Zhang Juzheng finally let go of his palm. How to deal with it in the future is now clear.
Although he suffered consecutive blows, he still did not lose confidence in himself... No matter how bad he lost this time, he thought it was because of his lack of strength, which was not a fight: "My words, I hope you can win this time, so that I have a chance to win you..." A crazy idea circled in Zhang Juzheng's mind. Once it was generated, it was like a prairie fire and it was unstoppable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Cough cough…’ The silly words he said were pitifully holding the porcelain bowl and pinching his nose to pour the black yào soup. Although he was already a complete Ming Dynasty person, he still couldn’t stand this kind of taste.
"The doctor said that my heart is in my throat, and it's enough to spit out blood." Seeing Shen Mingchen and Wang Yin staring at themselves like thieves, she said in silence and pitifulness: "It's fine if the ladies in the backyard are watching and drinking, but you don't want to ban me."
"The lord is a great man. He also needs to be healthy and long-lasting for great cause. You must not be careless!" Shen Mingchen said with a stern face, but his eyes were clearly filled with gloating.
"Yes, just drink it." Wang Yin also smiled and said, "The old man of the gong was afraid of drinking yào. How could he see people when it was heard?"
"I'm not alive anymore..." Siniang pinched his nose depressedly, tilted his head to pour it into his stomach, his face turned pale, then turned yellow, and then turned red. It took him a long time to recover and said, "I heard that the man is also recuperating at home, so I wonder if he would drink this thing too." He thought to himself that if he was afraid of hardship, it would be a relief to be more.
"Mr. Xu Ge Lao is afraid of hardship or not." Shen Mingchen shook his head and smiled, "But the person surnamed Zhang should be suffering enough now... It is said that Mr. Xu rejected him and asked for advice for a while, but he didn't go in, and became a betrayal dog."
