The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 824

Winners and losers, it's good if things happen, but what if they don't?Wouldn't they all have to lose their heads?
With a glance of Xia Qing's approval, You Shaofeng couldn't help but lift up his spirits.

"If your lord doesn't want those princes to kill each other for money, why not sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and we will fish in troubled waters when they fight."

You Shaofeng smiled lightly, feeling that his proposal should be able to speak to the heart of adults.

Others feel that they can't bear it anymore. Who doesn't know how to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the question is, are you the only one who came up with this idea, and everyone else is stupid?

"You Tongzheng, we all know the method you mentioned, but there are quite a few people waiting to take advantage of it. Let's go to pick up people's teeth, so why don't we fight to the death in the end?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes in secret, and retorted helplessly.

"We can pull all these people hiding in the dark into the water! How can it be so easy to sit on the Diaoyutai?"

You Shaofeng secretly made up his mind that these people should not be allowed to be pretentious, otherwise, whether Xia Shoufu can invite him to discuss matters next time is another matter.

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it!" Xia Qing became interested, and a small smile appeared on his face.

"My lord! There are three famous families in the local area! We found one to stand in front of us, and we hid in the dark. Who would have thought of us? When we saw who was hiding in the dark, we dragged them into the water, and we just collected the net." that is."

This method is guaranteed to satisfy Lord Shoufu. This is a good strategy that he hired a powerful staff member to surrender.

"This method is indeed clever. If those families knew that they were working for you, would they dare not agree? Wouldn't they wish for the opportunity to join your sect?"

Not to be outdone, Li Wei stepped forward to answer the question.

Seeing Li Wei approaching again, You Shaofeng's expression froze, and he felt disdainful in his heart.

Mr. Li likes to be an afterthought, but Mr. Shoufu still values ​​him very much. You Shaofeng has long been dissatisfied with him.

This person is not as good as the staff member He Zhongkuan, He Zhongkuan can be regarded as a person with real skills after all.

Seeing that Xia Qing was persuaded, He Zhongkuan panicked.

"Then who do you think we should choose from the three major families?" Xia Qing became thoughtful, and he glanced at everyone before asking.

"My lord! The lower officials think that the Qu family is the most suitable. Although there are not many officials in the Qu family, they are all outside officials. The patriarch's son Qu Youen is the prefect of Sunan Prefecture, and he still has some strength. "

You Shaofeng recommended the Qu family first. The Qu family's foundation in the capital is shallow, so it is perfect to be a pawn.

As one of the three major families in the Hejian Mansion, the Qu family was actually a long-established family many years ago.

This Qu family was a powerful family in the previous dynasty, otherwise the current situation would not be able to comment on the name of any family.

Needless to say, the other two, the Yi family, cannot even become an official, and will soon decline.Even if the Yi family starts to become an official now, it will be too late.

Yi's fourth-generation children have just grown up. How can it be so easy to study for the imperial examination and become an official?

The remaining Yan family is not as good as the Qu family, which is considered the strongest family.

Xia Qing was also thinking, he didn't think much of the three families of Hejian Mansion, but these three families were old-fashioned families.

These aristocratic families are deeply intertwined, even if there are not many officials in the court, there may still be some resistance after all.

There are still three-point nails in the broken boat, and it is their ability to survive the three families.

If you are looking for those upstarts, you will have a shallow foundation and a narrow vision.

Since these people are going to act as pawns, they must have some strength.In the future, they will also be taken under their own sect, and those upstarts are even more despised by themselves.

Xia Qing touched the beard on his chin, thought for a moment, and then made a decision, "Let's go to the Qu family!"

"My lord! You can't do this! It's too dangerous, you." Seeing that Xia Qing had already made a decision, He Zhongkuan hurriedly stopped him.

"Hey~Mr. He, you're still too conservative this time. It's all about risk. If you're timid, you'll lose your chance in vain."

Xia Qing waved his hand, he had made up his mind.

This time, he did not adopt He Zhongkuan's suggestion.After all, he was still dominated by the greed in his heart, and stepped into this battle between dragons and tigers.

Seeing that Xia Qing had made up his mind, He Zhongkuan knew that if he continued to persuade, Xia Qing would not be able to change his mind.I had to sigh and stop talking.

The corner of You Shaofeng's mouth raised, this time he was finally elated.

"Then I wish you success immediately!" He Zhongkuan glanced at You Shaofeng, and then said auspicious words.

The night is as cool as water, and the bright moon is in the sky.He Zhongkuan was led by the boy and walked towards his yard.

The boy in front walked forward slowly holding a lantern, and He Zhongkuan walked behind him on the left.

When he was in front of the small courtyard, He Zhongkuan called to stop the boy, "Send it here!"

He passed by the boy, "Tomorrow at three o'clock, things are among the chrysanthemums by the lake."

This murmur seemed to be blown gently by the breeze, turning into a story of autumn night.

He Zhongkuan didn't wait for the boy to reply, and walked into the courtyard.

The boy didn't show any abnormality, he just bowed respectfully and said: "The little one will send you here!"

The boy turned around and went back the same way, walking at a leisurely pace, the lantern he was holding was swaying from side to side in the wind.

The next day was sunny and sunny.Gu Chengyu, who was supposed to be sitting by the window and compiling the canon, appeared in the emperor's imperial study.

"Gu Aiqing! Since you returned to your hometown, we haven't seen each other for several months."

The emperor put the memorial in his hand aside, and looked at Gu Chengyu with a smile.

"Thanks to the great love of the emperor, the emperor takes care of everything, but he can still think of the humble minister, the humble minister is really flattered!"

Gu Chengyu pretended to be surprised, with a big smile on his face.

The emperor couldn't help laughing, he pointed at Gu Chengyu and said: "You cunning, it's been a long time since I called you into the palace, right?"

"This is the conscience of heaven and earth, how dare this minister? Everything that this minister said is true!"

Gu Chengyu really didn't dare to think that way, it has been half a month since he came back, and he didn't expect the emperor to think of him so soon.

What he said just now was really from the bottom of his heart, but the emperor obviously didn't think so.

"I don't believe you because you are always glib. How is the meeting going?"

The emperor walked to the window, looking at the bright sunshine outside, his mood improved a bit.

Gu Chengyu was taken aback when he heard the words, shouldn't he ask Zhang Hai?
He is just a waiter, the overall progress should be reported by Zhang Hai, it's better not to do it for him.

"The criminal papers in Weichen's hands are still a little short, and it will take some time before they are completed!" Gu Chengyu thought for a while, but it was better not to tell the truth.

It has become a habit for the officials of the Imperial Academy to procrastinate, and the Imperial Academy is indeed very busy.
