Vol 2 Chapter 192: Xu 7'an: 2 Lang, eldest brother teaches you fish farming routines

The foster father initially proposed to fight the Witch God Sect, and it was Xu Qi'an who died in Yunzhou.
Nangong Qianrou guessed that the mood of the adoptive father at that time was both the pain of a heavy confidant being broken, and the idea that the Witch God Sect grew too fast and needed to be suppressed.
Later, Xu Qi'an returned to Beijing and resurrected, and the Witch God Sect had always kept himself safe. In that case, there was no need to fight.
For the witch gods, just suppress it.
But the foster father meant that this was going to start a massive national war.
"Foster father, is it too radical?" Nangong Qianrou said straightforwardly.
Now that Dafeng’s national strength is weak, a large-scale, several-year national war is an unbearable burden.
"Yang Yan sent back an urgent report from the north, and the witch gods sect attacked the northern monsters. The Zhujiu lone tree was difficult to support, and he withdrew from his original territory, bringing the monsters and the barbarians to retreat to the northwest."
Wei Yuan lowered his head to study the geomancy map, his tone was flat: "Although Duke Huai's plan failed, the goal of the Witch God Sect has been achieved. Any death of Zhu Jiu and Ji Li Zhigu will cause the Northern Demon Man to fall into unprecedented weakness.
"But Chuzhou also suffered heavy losses, lost a third-rank, and was unable to march north, and it was in vain for the shamanism."
Nangong Qianrou was startled and suddenly realized: "So, the foster father doesn't care about the court affairs, because your majesty is very likely to send you to the north?"
At the same time, he speculated in his heart that his Majesty's suppression of Wang Shoufu at this time seemed to be disregarding balance, but in fact it was precisely the way to balance.
Without Wei Yuan in the court, isn't it just Wang Shoufu's family?
"Even if the foster father's focus is not in the court, but it is still far away from the Queen of Autumn, why not take advantage of the crisis of the royal party, and there will be no worries about future expeditions."
Nangong Qianrou put forward her own opinion.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think it is better for the royal party to fail, or not to fail?"
Nangong Qianrou said without hesitation: "It's the best thing."
Wei Yuan nodded: "Yes, it's best to fall, but it's also good not to fall. If it is not for war, I will fall into the trap. Once Wang Zhenwen falls, I have at least five years to do things. Your Majesty wants to support a new party against me. It will not happen overnight.
"In this situation, there are advantages to whether the king's party fails or fails. Wang Zhenwen and I have been fighting for so many years, so I know the bottom line. A familiar opponent in the court is better than an unfamiliar passerby."
At this time, the clerk came to report and said respectfully: "Wei Gong, scholar of Wuyingdian University Qian Qingshu, please see me."
Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's confidant.........Nangong Qianrou looked at Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan waved his hand: "No, let him go back."
The clerk bowed and saluted: "Yes."
"Foster father?" Nangong Qian said softly, did the foster father choose to sit on the sidelines in the end.
"It's boring for me to shoot."
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "This favor should be reserved for the right person."
Nangong Qianrou didn't understand, but didn't ask, he got used to the adoptive father's language style after getting along for so many years.
"You go out first." Wei Yuan said suddenly.
After Nangong Qianrou left, he took out a few envelopes, picked up a pen, and wrote.
.........
Palace, in Jingxiu Palace.
His Royal Highness was eating iced plums with a basin of ice cubes at his feet, enjoying the cool breeze fanned by the maid, but his expression was not at all relaxed, and said:
"I persuaded Wang Shoufu that day not to compete with his father, not to be with Wei Yuan, he would not listen. Now it's okay, the father wants to fix him."
There is not much overlap between the prince and Wang Shoufu, but many people in the royal party are unwavering princelings.
If Wang Zhenwen falls, these people will also be implicated, weakening the prince's influence in the court in a disguised form.
Concubine Chen and Lin'an were watching, and both were a little worried. Since the year of Jingchao, the position of the prince has been swaying from side to side, and they can't sit still.
Concubine Chen frowned and said, "What kind of attitude is Wei Yuan over there?"
The prince said solemnly, "Qian Qingshu, a scholar of Wuyingdian, visited Wei Yuan this morning, but no one was seen."
Concubine Chen looked sad: "Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu are political enemies. I'm afraid they are just waiting to get into trouble."
The prince looked at his sister and said, "Lin'an, isn't Xu Qi'an your confidant? He is a person Wei Yuan relies on. Why not try to break through from him?"
Lin'an was sitting on the floppy, red and gorgeous dresses were complicated and gorgeous, and he wore a golden hair crown. The rounded goose-egg face was graceful, and the peachy eyes were charming and watery.
In silence, it is like a delicate and flawless jade beauty.
"He hasn't come to me for a long time..."
Lin'an looked sad, and said in a low voice.
After the Chuzhou massacre case, more than half a month passed. Xu Ningyan never found her. Lin'an didn't say anything, but she always felt that Xu Ningyan completely disgusted the royal family because of that incident.
He hated her even with her, so she deliberately alienated herself.
Lin'an felt sorrow and grief when thinking of their previous happy times.
"It's simple. You quietly send someone to Xu Mansion to deliver a letter and invite him to meet. If he agrees, it means that his mind is still with you." The prince smiled and gave his idea.
Concubine Chen added: "Remember to be secretive and let the subordinates of Lin'an Mansion do it. Don't send guards in the palace. Don't let your father know that you have any dealings with Xu Qi'an."
Lin'an nodded his head vigorously, with a worried and expectant expression on his face: "I will let people do it."
.........
At lunch, Zuo Du Yushi Yuan Xiong and War Department assistant Qin Yuandao entered a restaurant in the inner city.
There are also several officials from the same camp.
There is a one-hour break for lunch. The dining hall in the Yamen of the capital is notoriously unpalatable. It is not so clear that the soup is too watery, but don't think about the big fish.
Except for the officials at the bottom who ate in the cafeteria, the senior officials all went to the restaurant.
Yuan Xiong raised his tea cup and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shi Lang Qin, it is hopeful to join the cabinet."
Qin Yuandao responded with a toast, saying: "Master Yuan monopolizing the Metropolitan Procuratorate is just around the corner. By then, don't forget to take care of me and wait."
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has great powers and has the responsibility to monitor hundreds of officials. Yuan Xiong always wanted to take control of the court and kick out Wei Yuan's party members.
However, Qin Yuandao wanted to find another way to join the cabinet because he had no hope of being a scholar in the military department.
The two jointly conspired the imperial examination fraud case, which was ultimately unsuccessful, and is now making a comeback. The difference from the last time is that at that time, His Majesty was sitting on the sidelines, but this time he supported him.
"Even if Wang Zhenwen didn't fall this time, he would have to hurt his nerves and bones. He controlled the cabinet for many years. He had previously relied on him to check and balance Wei Yuan. Now, his Majesty intends to let Wei Yuan serve as the general soldier of Chuzhou and go to Chuzhou. Then Wang Zhenwen will I have to move."
"And I heard that Qian Qingshu visited Wei Yuan this morning and had a closed door."
"If it hadn't been for the little bit of Xu last time, our position would have been moved." Qin Yuan said through gritted teeth.
An official toasted and said with a smile: "Qin Shilang doesn't need to be angry, that Xu Qi'an can't protect himself. He offends your majesty, and sooner or later he will be liquidated. First he beats the big one, then cleans up the small. He is not far from death."
"Drink and drink."
Push the cup and change it, chatting and laughing.
.........
"Da Lang, someone sent you a letter outside."
In the front hall, the concierge Mr. Zhang presented a secret letter.
Xu Qi'an, who was kicking Xu Lingyin up and down as a shuttlecock, put down Yaomei, and while reaching out to receive the letter, he asked: "Who sent the letter?"
The old concierge shook his head: "The person is outside, and he didn't say who would deliver it for, he also said that he is waiting for your reply."
"Brother, keep playing!"
Xu Lingyin had enjoyed the feeling of flying, and was no longer willing to be a stupid child living on the ground.
An octopus hugged Xu Qi'an's legs, life and death.
Xu Qi'an kicked, but didn't fly, saying that the stupid boy's strength was getting stronger and stronger.
"Peace!"
He shouted.
With a whistling sound, the Taiping sword flew out of the room, hanging in front of Xu Qi'an with the sword and sheath.
Xu Lingyin was stunned, with a small face held up and a stupid look.
Xu Qi'an picked her up, let her ride a peace sword like a witch riding a magic broomstick, and then patted Xu Lingyin's little egg, loudly:
"Go, magical girl Xiaodouding!"
Taipingdao took her out of the front hall, and Xiaodouding's heartless laughter came from the air.
Xu Qi'an began to read the letter paper. The letter was sent from Lin'an. It described the situation of court and court disputes in recent days, and asked if he could ask him to explore Wei Yuan's tone.
This is not like Lin'an's style. It was Chen Fei or the prince who instigated...I remember that Wei Gong said that there were many prince’s supporters in the royal party. Speaking of which, two were cut. After Guo Gong, I have never visited Lin'an.
Hey, the main thing is that there are too many things, one by one, neglecting her...
Lin'an is different from Huaiqing. Huaiqing does not need to coax, but Lin'an is a girl who hopes to be with her.
"You tell him to tell the master, so I know."
Xu Qi'an sent Lao Zhang away from the concierge and sat at the round table, recalling what Wei Yuan said this morning:
I don't care about it.
Yesterday Xu Erlang went back to the mansion and talked to him about the court. Xu Qi'an kept an eye on him. This morning he went to the government office to find Wei Yuan and find out that this is not an ordinary fight.
Emperor Yuanjing wants to move Wang Shoufu.
"For me, it was actually an opportunity. Although Erlang and Miss Wang were eyeing, they did not enter Wang Shoufu's sight. Moreover, because of his identity as a student of Yunlu Academy, and for my sake, it is difficult for him to go further in officialdom unless he relies on Wang Shoufu. .
"But Wang Shoufu was born in the Imperial College, and he was born to resist the students of Yunlu Academy. Now, isn't it just an opportunity. I have many officials and Cao Guogong's criminal evidence of corruption and perverting the law. These political bargaining chips were originally part of Wei Gong and part of Erlang.
"Isn't it just useful right now, and if I can reap the favor of Wang Shoufu, it will be very helpful to me to check Yuanjing. I just want to enter the official department to check the file.
"I have confessed Cao Guogong's secret letter to Wei Gong, and he said that he doesn't care about it. The implication is already obvious. Wei Gong seems to be relatively negative about the court affairs recently? What is he planning?"
Xu Erlang went back to the house for dinner with a frustrated expression. Just after walking through the front yard, he saw Yaomei riding on a knife, circling and dancing in the small courtyard, laughing with pigs.
Niang and Lingyue looked worriedly underneath, screaming from time to time, and said in a pile: Be careful, be careful!
The aunt said angrily: "Xu Ningyan, you quickly get your broken knife down. If Lingyin is hurt by a fall, let's see how my old lady teaches you."
The aunt pinched her waist, stood in the yard, and shouted toward the front hall.
"Mother, how can the knife fly?" Xu Lingyue was a little surprised and a little scared.
"Who knows, it's your elder brother's magic trick." Aunt said.
The mother and daughter had seen Li Miaozhen walking up and down with a flying sword, just as it was no big deal, but when Xu Erlang saw this scene, the whole person was stunned and stunned.
"Absolutely, peerless magic weapon..." Xu Erlang murmured.
At this time, Xu Qi'an came out from the front hall and greeted: "Taiping, come down."
The Taiping knife lowered its height and hovered motionless. The aunt immediately snatched the baby girl over and screamed: "What a broken knife."
After speaking, she saw Xu Xinnian three steps and two steps, stopped in front of the Taiping knife, her eyes stretched out her hand straight, as if she wanted to hold the knife, but she didn't dare, she was very excited.
As a scholar from the orthodox system of Confucianism, Xu Erlang naturally knew a peerless magic weapon.
Seeing her son's posture, my aunt said suspiciously: "Erlang, what's wrong with this knife?"
Xu Erlang murmured: "This knife is rare in the world and invaluable. No, this is a priceless treasure."
Priceless? ! The aunt was heartbroken, looked at the peace knife in surprise, and tentatively asked, "How much is it worth?"
My aunt needs a specific number to measure its value.
"Let's put it this way, if the eldest brother takes it to exchange the title, at least it can be exchanged for the earl, or for the marquis."
The Marquis is second only to the Duke, and the Duke of Dafeng is almost the pinnacle of the title of the opposite sex.
The aunt opened her mouth, and when she looked at the Taiping Sword, she was like her son, no, it was even hotter than her son.
"I still want to play." Xu Lingyin climbed the peace sword.
"Go, die child, such a precious thing, I broke my old lady and killed you." The aunt slapped the little beanie.
Xu Qi'an looked at this scene with a smile and shouted: "Erlang, come in, I have something to tell you."
Xu Erlang entered the front hall and sat on the table. Then, his sight was attracted by the pile of secret letters placed on the table. It was not a secret letter sent by Lin'an, but a secret letter found in Cao Guogong's private house.
"I already know what happened to Wang Shoufu, Erlang, if you have the ability to help him tide over the difficulties, will you help him, or just sit on the sidelines?"
Hearing this, Xu Xinnian frowned slightly and said calmly: "I am worried about yearning, but I don't have much feeling or anxiety about Wang Shoufu's experience. And if there is no yearning, I would probably talk to my eldest brother."
Dafeng is a good son-in-law... Xu Qi'an complained and said with a smile: "But if you can help, I believe Wang Shoufu will be willing to accept you, at least, not against you."
With that, he pointed to the secret letter on the table.
With doubts, Xu Erlang opened the secret letters and read them one by one. First, his pupils shrank slightly, showing a look of shock, and then excited, his hands trembling slightly.
If these secret letters fall into the hands of capable people, they will become a weapon in their hands. So, I don’t know how many Beijing officials will be guilty of this, and the entire capital officialdom will usher in a major earthquake.
Of course, there is another possibility that all these secret letters will be destroyed, because too many people are involved.
"I can only give you a small part of these secret letters. We need to select a few people who are useful to Wang Shoufu." Xu Qi'an laid out the secret letters one by one.
The so-called useful person cannot be a kingly party or Yuan Xiong. The latter is backed by the emperor, and these secret letters cannot have a fatal effect on them, at least in the current situation, they cannot be killed in one shot.
Soon, the brothers singled out eight characters. It is not only a high position, but not the first two.
"After the value is released, you go to the palace and hand over these secret letters to Wang Shoufu. Remember, you must first go to Miss Wang, and she will introduce them."
The eldest brother meant me to hint to Wang Shoufu about my relationship with Si Mu...Xu Xinnian gave a "um" sound, and as soon as he put up the secret letter, he saw the eldest brother lift up his sleeves.
"Big brother, what are you going to do?"
"beat you!"
boom!
Xu Erlang's handsome face was punched and he fell screaming, Xu Dalang rode up and bowed left and right.
"Brother, don't slap your face..." Xu Erlang screamed.
"If you don't slap your face, how can you show your sacrifice? How can you move Miss Wang's family. In order to save the old man, you will fight against your eldest brother."
"Well, is this a bit despicable?"
"This is not despicable, this is a routine. Come on, take a good pose, and eldest brother will punch a few more punches."
.............
Jingxiu Palace.
News came back from Lin'an Mansion soon, but there was no reply, only one sentence: I know.
The prince glanced at Lin'an, touched his nose, and said with emotion: "It seems that I can't count on it, but it's true. I'm not an official. Knowing that I angered my father, I don't bother to manage the relationship between our brothers and sisters."
Lin'an was blushed by what he said.
Concubine Chen frowned and reprimanded: "Let's say a few words. It's normal for him not to help. If Wei Yuan relies on him, can he listen to him?"
The prince said helplessly: "I know, but his attitude makes people unpleasant."
Lin'an pressed his lips tightly, and said, "I'm back to Shaoyin Palace."
.........
Palace.
In the inner hall, the atmosphere is a bit solemn.
Wang Simu sat with Mrs. Wang, chatting softly, trying to relieve his mother's anxiety.
The eldest son of the Wang family, who works in the Ministry of Households, drank tea without saying a word, and the second son of the business prince was impatient and wandered around the hall.
"Brother, I heard from my familiar friends, Your Majesty is going to kill our Wang Clan this time?" The Second Prince Wang said as he walked, his tone was quick.
Mrs. Wang's worries were heavier in her eyes, and she looked at the eldest son with a verifying look.
Prince Wang put down his teacup and said calmly, "It's a little troublesome. Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao listed a lot of crimes. One of the most troublesome is the embezzlement of military pay.
"Remember Zhou Xianping, the former servant of the Ministry of Households. He was his father's, and he did steal the military salary. When he ransacked his house, Zhou's mansion actually only had a few thousand taels.
"It's nonsense." The second son of Wang gritted his teeth angrily.
Prince Wang pinched his eyebrows and sighed tiredly:
"In the past, my father, Jane, was in the heart of the emperor, and he was fine. During the Chuzhou Massacre case, my father had offended His Majesty too harshly. This is the crux of the problem."
Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "What should be done, what should be done."
Wang Simu quickly comforted his mother, then frowned:
"Don't say a few words, if you can't think of a countermeasure, don't pour bitterness here. What else is there besides adding mother's worries?"
She then comforted her mother and said softly: "Daddy has served as the first assistant for more than ten years. He has never seen any big storms, and he knows it. Didn't this have been discussed with uncles in the study."
Prince Wang glanced at his younger sister and shook his head. Although there was a crisis before, but it has never been as dangerous as this time. Fighting against political opponents and fighting against your Majesty is the same thing?
While talking, the housekeeper hurried to report, glanced at the people in the hall, and looked at Wang Simu: "Miss, Master Xu is outside, I want to see you."
Brother Wang sneered and said, "When is there any gossip about love?"
Mrs. Wang and Prince Wang frowned.
When Xu Erlang and his daughter were approaching, they knew that Wang Simu had a very strong personality and was extremely intelligent. No one except Wang Zhenwen could control it.
So I closed my eyes and let her go.
But now the Wang family is in crisis, and Xu Erlang still visits frequently, which is inexplicably annoying.
Wang Simu squinted his second brother, stood up Yingying, and said, "Tell him to the outer hall."
She patted the back of her mother's hand, walked straight through the inner courtyard, and walked through the winding corridor. Miss Wang met Xu Erlang in the living room.
He sat in a chair, hiding his face with his sleeves, shiningly hiding.
"What's wrong with Erlang?" Wang Simu probed his head and looked for a while, but he avoided it.
"It's okay..."
Xu Erlang said, "I'm here to give you something."
After speaking, the other finger pointed at the coffee table, and Wang Simu found a pile of letters on the coffee table.
With curiosity, Wang Simu unfolded the letter and glanced at it, his body trembled, and his beautiful eyes were full of shock.
"Here, where did Erlang get these secret letters?" She opened her small mouth slightly, Huarong paled.
"Obtained from my elder brother." Xu Erlang replied.
Xu Qi'an brought it there? He is Wei Yuan's confidant, how could he help my father.........Wang Simu's eyes turned, and then he looked at Xu Erlang's evasive appearance.
His heart sank suddenly, and he split his hands and pulled his sleeves apart.
"what........"
Wang Simu screamed.
Xu Erlang's cheeks were swollen, the bridge of his nose was bruised, and his lips were cut a few times. He looked like he was beaten up.
"Did your elder brother hit it? Because of these secret letters?" Wang Simu's lips trembled.
"I fell by myself." Xu Erlang denied.
Wang Simu's tears welled up with "swish", pattering, like broken pearls.
"He, he beat you like this..." Miss Wang couldn't cry.
The eldest brother's routine really works...Xu Erlang sighed in his heart and explained: "I really fell by myself."
He didn't waste time and said: "These secret letters were given by the elder brother, but he has the conditions. I need to talk to Master Shoufu in person."
Wang Simu took out the Jinpa from his sleeve, wiped away the tears, and looked at Xu Erlang's eyes full of love.
She nodded: "I will take you there."
...........
In the spacious study room, sandalwood curls and floats, Wang Shoufu is holding the tea, his eyebrows are kept silent.
Qian Qingshu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Chen Qi, a scholar of Jianjidian University, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, etc. gathered together ~EbookFREE.me~ with solemn expressions.
"Look at what your Majesty means, in a few days, it will be our turn?" Qian Qingshu said solemnly.
Chen Qi, an academician of the Jianji Temple, had a grumpy temper and slapped the table and cursed: "The Chuzhou Massacre case was originally the case of King Huai's madness. How can it be tolerated? The old man can't be an official.
The official secretary snorted coldly: "If you are an official, wouldn't it be in the arms of Qin?"
Wang Shoufu sat in the main seat, tasting fragrant tea, and silently listening to his colleagues arguing. The old man has been ups and downs for half his life, and has never been anxious.
Seeing the quarrel abate, Wang Shoufu asked, "What attitude is Wei Yuan?"
"Eat a closed door." Qian Qingshu was calm.
"No surprise." Wang Shoufu nodded, "Your Majesty still uses him. Wei Yuan's role is much stronger than ours."
The official secretary Shangshu sneered: "Your Majesty will tolerate his dominance?"
Wang Shoufu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Many years ago, I felt that he was tired of fighting in court, and he wanted to regain control. If I didn't expect it wrong, King Huai's death was due to him.
"Sun Shangshu, if you are in charge of the Penalty Department, you must check it well, and you must not allow Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to convict you."
Sun Shangshu nodded.
"Xu Shangshu, I know that you support and support the prince. I take this opportunity to contact other princelings."
Shang Shu nodded.
Then, Wang Shoufu's tone was calm, and he looked around everyone: "There is nothing wrong with going to an official position. It is better to retreat as a rapid stream. It is better than a bleak ending. Furthermore, after an official position, you can rise and recover. Gentlemen must learn to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Simu's soft and melodious voice sounded: "Father, my daughter has something to see."
