Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 260

Yunke and his son died.

Upon first hearing the news, Ye Yaoguang was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened: "What did you do?"

"I've never killed anyone." Wen Tingzhan said seriously, "I'm so busy that I only sleep two and a half hours a day, so I don't have the time to deal with them two useless people."

Ye Yaoguang glanced at Wen Tingzhan contemptuously: "Do you dare to say that you didn't have a bad stomach and borrowed a knife to kill someone?"

Suddenly, I discovered that this guy really likes to kill people with a borrowed knife. For example, he borrowed the knives of Emperor Shi and Zhongshuling to deal with Liu Jumin, and he used Liu Jumin's knife to deal with Liu Hepeng. Hatchet.

"Because you are my father-in-law and I am smart." Wen Tingzhan said with a smile.

"Look at what you can do!" Ye Yaoguang poked Wen Tingzhan's forehead with his slender fingers.

Wen Tingzhan grabbed Ye Yaoguang's wrist with his backhand: "Now I have some bad news for you."

"Ok?"

"The old man of the Liu family has already returned to Yuzhang County for his [-]th birthday in March of the following year." Wen Tingzhan said softly, "The old man of the Liu family has been in the imperial capital since he resigned. Minister Liu Jumin failed again. Mr. Liu came back to show weakness to His Majesty. After all, he has worked hard for the court all his life. There is hard work without merit. Let alone His Majesty will be grateful for him when he leaves, even his former classmate Master Chu is also a bit soft-hearted, so all the benefits fall on Liu Jumin, currently there is no vacant high position in the imperial court, but it may be very difficult to prevent Liu Jumin from being promoted next time."

Not only is it difficult, Mr. Liu's move of retreating into advance is really powerful. His sad departure from Beijing and his return to his hometown will lead the emperor's army. However, the emperor is not only not angry, but also feels guilty, because Mr. Liu is a honest and upright official. But there is no less problem solving for today.People are like this, dangling in front of them all the time, they will feel that they are relying on the old to sell the old, but once they are far away, they will feel grateful for the good things in the past.In this way, no matter which position from the second rank is vacant next time, Liu Jumin will be the first thing that the emperor thinks of.

The Liu family is destined to be enemies, the higher the opponent's official position, the more difficult it is to deal with, and the wider the interests involved, naturally Wen Tingzhan does not want Liu Jumin to be promoted.However, in the short period of two or three years, there should be no transfer of high positions in the imperial court, unless someone died unexpectedly.

Ye Yaoguang pinched Wen Tingzhan's cheeks with both hands: "I want to be happy, don't you think the old man of the Liu family is already 70 years old? To put it bluntly, whether he will still be around in two years is a problem. If the old man of the Liu family has something , Liu Jumin will have Ding You for three years, and in another five or six years you will almost enter their sight, and you should be full-fledged by then, aren't you afraid of him?"

"It's not that I'm afraid." Wen Tingzhan said in a muffled voice.

"What is that?" Ye Yaoguang was puzzled.

"In the second year after my mother's accident, Liu Jumin was transferred to the capital, and I found out by collecting the residence newspapers of that year that Liu Juyan should have been transferred to the capital. It's the granddaughter of his direct relative, so a shrewd person like him wouldn't be able to see that someone used my mother to force Liu Juyan to back down?" Wen Tingzhan smiled coldly, "Sure enough, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. In the eyes of the old man, the eldest son cannot be suppressed, so he used a granddaughter to warn the younger son."

Those troubles of the big family are not uncommon no matter what era, Ye Yaoguang felt sorry for the Liu family, he did nothing wrong, the fault was that he had a father who was more capable than his uncle, and he had a stubborn father who insisted on being the eldest son Grandpa became a victim.

"Your grandfather..." Sensing Wen Tingzhan's body froze, Ye Yaoguang quickly changed his words, "Where is Liu Juyan's official position now?"

"The Governor of Yingtian Mansion."

Because of Yuan Taizu's birth, many positions only available in the Ming and Qing dynasties have also begun to appear one after another. In fact, only Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty set up a Kaifeng governor in the Song Dynasty. There were more in the Ming and Qing dynasties. If it is the imperial capital Yin Nao ranks below Shangshu and above Shilang.If it is the governor of the local government, it can be regarded as being on an equal footing with the minister.

Under Liu's pressure, Liu Juyan was able to achieve the same position as Liu Jumin, the person Liu had always supported. His methods and abilities should not be underestimated, but why did he really ignore Liu's family, and even killed Liu with pines and cypresses? Who is the person from Shi?What a mess.

"Brother Zhan, if old man Liu is still alive and well in a few years, there is really such a vacancy for the position of the second rank. We are both members of the Liu family. Since you can't stop it, then find a way to let Liu Juyan take over. I think the expressions of old man Liu and Liu Jumin It must be pretty." Thinking of that scene, Ye Yaoguang still prayed that old man Liu would be strong.

However, Wen Tingzhan did not agree, how could Wen Tingzhan not have thought of the countermeasure that even Ye Yaoguang could come up with, but he didn't want to leave his mother behind and ignore him, even if his mother is now The so-called grandfather who passed away without knowing it.

Ye Yaoguang understood Wen Tingzhan's awkwardness after thinking about it, and she took Wen Tingzhan's hand: "Brother Zhan, mother once said that her parents loved her very much, if you don't think so, mother's father He will not give in for the sake of his mother. Official career is more important to many men than wives and daughters. As for why he has not come to find his mother for so many years, I think there must be something hidden in it. Even if we sentence a person to death, we have to listen first. His last words are not, we will give him a chance to explain, it is up to us to decide whether to recognize this relative. You are so smart, you must understand that if mother is alive, she must hope that our family will be happy. Now she Now that he is gone, I definitely hope that you will be filial to his parents who have given birth to him."

Wen Tingzhan was silent for a long time before nodding: "Looking at Yao Yao's face, I'll give him a chance to explain."

"This is my best brother Zhan." Ye Yaoguang leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then pushed him onto the bed, "You sleep well, in order to reward you for being so obedient, I personally Cook for you, and you can eat when you wake up."

Originally thought that the disasters in various places had eased, their busiest time had passed, and the rest was to prepare for the New Year at home, but they did not expect that a few days passed in a comfortable life. In late November, there were two large carriages stopped in front of their door.

"Our master's surname is Liu, and his name is Hechao. May I ask if the master of your house is Wen Changsong?" The attendant who knocked on the door was very polite.

When Ye Yaoguang, who was standing behind Wang Mu, heard this name, he knew that this was Liu Juyan's eldest son, the eldest brother of the Liu family.

Although Wang Mu has been here for more than a year, he doesn't know the name of Wen Tingzhan's father, so he said bluntly: "Our young master's surname is Wen, but he is not who you say, you should look elsewhere."

At this time, a handsome man in his thirties had already stood behind his entourage, and he said, "Then I will ask Miss Ye from your mansion to take a divination."

Ye Yaoguang raised his eyebrows: Hehe, you came prepared.
