Vol 2 Chapter 1000: As a chess piece

Deng Cunli took the post and became the master craftsman of Shaofu.
Liu Zhao ordered that peace is the most precious thing in all things, and he has no two skills, and the clan elder who has a little ear to hold the post of the young man.
This sorrowful operation stunned everyone.
The courtiers were happy to watch the play and kept silent.
There was a lot of gossip in the clan in private.
"It's better to give the Young Mansion to the Empress Empress directly."
"Your Majesty is also confused. The queen has made it clear that Deng Cunli is going to be an to preside over the overall situation. Why is he?
"Even if the is allowed to preside over the overall situation, it should be Duke Lin or Duke Qian next to your Majesty. Deng Cunli, everyone knows that he is the Queen’s Empress. He ran to the Young Mansion to preside over the overall situation, which is equivalent to the Empress Empress’ borrowing him to intervene in the Young Mansion. Change Minger, do you want to change the surname Gu?"
"Maybe in a few years, the young man's order will be served by someone surnamed Gu. Our surname is Liu. I haven't seen your majesty let the empresses everywhere. Empress empresses say east, who dares to say west."
"Everyone is full of complaints, what do you think. Who makes you uncomfortable, if you have the ability, your majesty will let you hold the position of the family order of the young man. If you really don't accept it, you must work hard and train your son if you can't do it. It belongs to the clan, no one can take it away."
"It was true that no one could take away the Shaofu. Now, it's not good."
"Shaoyinyang is weird. You are deliberately provoking the relationship between the emperor and the queen. The old man warns you that your words and deeds are very dangerous. Your majesty will investigate it, and be careful of people falling to the ground."
"but……"
"No, but you ask yourself, does the queen mother take extra care of the Gu family? Can you treat the Liu family harshly and take care of the family? Can the Gu family the benefits of the Liu family? No! Then shut up for the old man, don't give it to the family Trouble within."
"If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future."
"The future is for the future, so take it less and talk about it later."
"Uncle San, why doesn't Your Majesty let you do the Shaofu Family Order? You are obviously more suitable for the Shaofu Family Order than the foolish ghost next door."
"Your Majesty ordered the person in the next room to make the family order of the young mansion. It makes sense."
"There's no reason. It's just that the third uncle was close to the Xue family and Zhao Wang before. Jin Wuwei did not touch the third uncle, which proves that the third uncle is innocent."
"Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."
Although more than ten years have passed since the events of the year, it does not mean that they can be mentioned casually.
The third uncle in people's mouth naturally knew that His Majesty did not use him, not just because he was close to the Xue family and Zhao Wang.
It's also because there are some ugly industries behind him, and some ugly things.
The clan is like this, many things can not be said, the palace also closed one eye, Jin Wuwei did not bother to care about them.
Only when the emperor speaks, Jin Wuwei will catch a few typical killings.
Jin Wuwei is more willing to stare at high-ranking officials than at the clan.
...
Huang Qubing rode a carriage to Wenqing Bookstore.
Seeing Cui Qi, he will inevitably feel guilty and embarrassed.
"Sorry, boss Cui! I am willing to give you a hand, as long as I can get back to my old line of business. However, Niang Niang has other opinions."
Cui Qi will officially step down as the chief director of the Wenqing Bookstore today, and he is calm in the face of Huang Qubing.
"You are not sorry for me. I took the Wenqing Bookstore from you at the beginning, and now I treat it as the original owner. I hope that I have done a good job in the past few years to satisfy everyone, and I have not insulted Wenqing Bookstore's reputation. An errand was arranged for me."
"What's the errand? Can you tell me something?" Huang Qubing was curious.
Cui Qi smiled, eyebrows crooked, obviously he was satisfied with the new job.
"The Empress has solicited my opinion, and I am going to Jiangling Mansion to prepare a college."
"Preparing for the college? Boss Cui is getting a good promotion!" Huang Qubing was sincerely happy for Cui Qi.
If the academy is completed, this would be a remarkable achievement.
The academy is clean and decent.
The Cui family developed from Xungui to Wenchen. This is the rhythm to be washed away.
I think back then, because of the Queen Ruizhen Cui, the Cui family was robbed of the hereditary duke of the country, relegated to the fifth and beheaded as a marquis. Everyone would die of the Cui family.
How could I think that the old fellow Zhen Guohou didn't have the ability to lead soldiers in battle, and his ability to hold his thighs was better than that.
Resolutely hugged the empress empress's thigh and recommended Cui Qi to the empress empress.
No, through Cui Qi, the Cui family has a chance to cleanse.
After ten or twenty years of working hard, the Cui family can rise again and become the top family in the capital.
Cui Qimei smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. My family is also very supportive of me going to Gangneung Prefecture to organize a college. By then, I will take a few of my nephews to Jiangling Prefecture."
Huang Qubing said repeatedly: "Congratulations, boss Cui, boss Hexi Cui. This is a great thing, boss Cui wants a treat."
"This is an invitation! Three days later, my family will entertain guests in the mansion. Brother Huang must come."
"Brother Cui, don't worry, I will be there on time."
After the two of them exchanged greetings, the handover began.
They are all familiar businesses, and the handover is completed soon.
When Cui Qi was gone, Huang Qubing sighed again and again, "Cui Qi is lucky! It made me want to run a college."
"Does the son have that ability?"
He used to be a small servant, but now he is San Shun in charge of the "Big Zhou Life Show".
Huang Qubing particularly disliked him, "Go aside!"
Sanshun chuckled, "Boss Cui is a man of real abilities. He can come here for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, four books and five classics. The son, that is, eating, drinking and having fun, it's okay to find guns and handwriting books."
Huang Qubing looked heartbroken, "Compared with Cui Qi, how bad is it?"
"Don’t you forget that before Boss Cui came to Wenqing Bookstore, but the teacher of Shanhe Academy was teaching students with eight classics. The Queen’s wife asked Boss Cui to run a college in Jiangling. This is called making the best use of her talents. It’s useless for you to be jealous, because you Not that capable."
What the truth is.
Sanshun's remarks defeated Huang Qubing to no avail.
But his emotions come and go fast.
He is a thoughtful and free-tempered person.
He sighed: "I really let me run a college, and I can't do it. I really admire the empress empress who knows people and do good jobs. However, there are so many candidates in Shanhe Academy, and the empress empress has chosen Cui Qi for compensation. The main reason is that I think Empress Empress plans to use the Cui family."
Sanshun asked, "What do you do with the Cui family?"
"Compared with other nobles, the Cui family who has been severely injured is better. And the influence of the Cui family is still there. As long as they are given a chance, they can get up."
Sanshun shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Huang Qubing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, "You have not heard these words. Three days later, you will go to Cui's house with me to congratulate you."
"Is it appropriate for the son to take a small one?"
"How inappropriate. You put a hundred hearts on it."
...
The news that Cui Qi was going to run a college in Jiangling Prefecture seemed to have grown wings, and everyone who should have known in a short time knew it.
Regardless of how Shanhe Academy reacted with Guozijian, the noble class caused an uproar.
Pingnan Hou Gu's family.
Hou Ye Gu Zhiwen sat in Songhe Hall and spoke with the old lady Wei.
"The empress's move, my son really can't understand. If the empress wants to use honors, it should be our Gu family, not the Cui family!"
"As soon as I went out, everyone asked me for news. How did I know! I am still at a loss now, and I don't understand the empress's intentions at all."
"Mother, talk to you."
The old lady Wei opened her muddy eyes, "You are not satisfied!"
Master Hou Gu Zhiwen was dumbfounded, very embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, he said: "The son is also for the sake of the family. The whole family is counting on the queen and the empress to make further progress. This is already the second year of Jingming. Apart from giving Gu Yu the title of Chengping uncle, there is no such thing as our family. It's something. I see, the empress' empress pays more attention to the clan than to the Gu family. But the Gu family is her family, her arms!"
"The Empress's arms were never from Gu's family. She has not even relied on Gu's family at this point."
The old lady Wei's words are heartbreaking, but they are truthful.
Hou Ye Gu Zhiwen frowned.
The old lady Wei continued: "The arms of the empress empress are the four seas, the world, the Wenqing Bookstore, and the talents she personally cultivated. Apart from one Gu Yu, there is no such thing as the Gu family."
"But in these years, the Gu family has never been dragged down, and even earned a lot of face for the queen empress. Just say that Gu Rui and the others are fighting in the northwest. When it comes to Gu Jiaerlang, everyone has to boast of being good."
Hou Ye Gu Zhiwen was always a little unwilling.
The old lady Wei took a deep breath, "Don't complain, the lady asked Cui Qi to run a college in Jiangling Mansion, for her own motives."
"What's the point?" Hou Ye Gu Zhiwen asked eagerly, "Why is it the Cui family? Now it's said that the queen empress plans to reuse the Cui family. But how can the Cui family be reused by the empress? I'm not jealous of Cui family. Home, I just don’t understand."
The old lady Wei frowned, "Has Gu Yu been in Jiangling Mansion for ten years?"
"Less than ten years."
"The old man remembers that Su Zheng from the Su family is also in Jiangling Mansion?"
"Exactly!"
The old lady Wei picked up the teacup, "It has been ten years since the first batch of scholars from Shanhe Academy, and almost all of them have been trained. Seeing this, the court is going to change a group of fresh faces.
Master Hou Gu Zhiwen trembled and reacted.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Gu Yu and they are about to return to Beijing? He is just judging people and can't enter the court."
The old lady Wei said softly: "It doesn't matter whether Gu Yu enters the court or not. The important thing is that the empress sends Cui Qi to Jiangling at this time, obviously to move Jiangling Mansion. When Jiangling moves, the capital will naturally follow. Old body I heard that Jiangling Prefecture has developed extremely well over the years and has become a land of fish and rice comparable to Jiangnan?"
"That's what I said, and my son hasn't seen it with his own eyes. Just what the face of Jiangling Mansion is now is all clouded. The river from Jiangnan to Jiangling Mansion has been dredged, and the official road leading from Jiangling Mansion to the south and west is paved with cement. It is said that the goods from the south go to the northwest, and now they don’t go south of the Yangtze River, but go directly from Jiangling, which can save a lot of journey.

The old lady Wei nodded, "That's right. The queen empress is playing a game of chess, you and I are both pawns on the chessboard, you can't move."
