Chapter 835 Uncle's Contempt

Wei Zhong's appearance was just a misunderstanding, but this incident shows that King Qin's residence is not well-guarded.So Qiu Yao sorted out the backyard of the Taoist mansion and dedicated it to King Qin as a mansion.The courtyard wall here is tall, with watchtowers at the four corners, secret sentries hidden at the base of the wall, and guards patrolling outside the wall.

When King Qin lived in the mansion, Qiu Yao often invited King Qin out for tea on the grounds of "asking for advice from the military", but in fact, he led King Qin to the place of fireworks to see all the beauties in Taiyuan.

From Su Yu's point of view, the old boy Qiu Yao finally revealed his true nature.If he is the emperor, he must be someone like Chen Ping and He Shen.

During his tenure as the temporary observation envoy of Hedong Road, he blatantly sold officials and nobles, almost to the point where the price was clearly marked.While making money for himself, he will spend most of it to honor King Qin.And the speed at which he sells officials is almost the same as the speed at which Cao Yuzan dispatches officials.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, asked Chen Ping: If you sold all the officials, who will govern the country for me?
Chen Ping said: I only sell official positions to talented people.

Han Gaozu laughed.

At present, half of the officials at the three levels of Hedong Road, government and county are candidates for the imperial examination appointed by Cao Yuzan, and the other half are recommended by Qiu Yao to the King of Qin, and then recommended to the Ministry of Officials by the King of Qin.

The imperial examination was already the fairest way to select talents under the Liang Dynasty system.But the disadvantage of this method is that it excludes some capable people with low education level.

Therefore, there is controversy over which is better, the imperial examination system or the procuratorial examination system.

But one thing is clear, the prosecution system is more likely to breed factions and elites.

What Qiu Yao did objectively expanded King Qin's power.And Qiu Yao opened a hole, and the others began to follow suit.Some people couldn't get in touch with Qiu Yao, so they contacted Han Jian, Zhu Xieke, Dian Feng and others.As long as they are recruited by them, they can be regarded as the middle and lower power of the King Qin faction.

In addition to Qin Wang's relatives, there are also those who go through the back door, such as contacting Qin Wangfei Tang Ling'er or Taichang Princess Zhao Ying.

Today, King Qin's influence has already produced a scale effect, and the size of the influence is no longer something that Su Yu can decide alone.At this time Tang Ling'er also felt this, so she hesitated on the issue of choosing a side concubine, and became anxious.Her mind is clear, but her heart is unwilling.

But in the end, she chose reason.At the same time that Hu Rong sent a letter to Tang Zhen, Tang Ling'er sent a letter to Taiyuan to ask for King Qin's opinion.

Su Yu returned to the mansion after the lamp was very tired.Feng Yu was warming the wine, and saw that Su Yu smelled of alcohol, so he withdrew the wine again.

"Does King Qin still eat?"

"I've eaten." Su Yu sat next to Feng Yu and put his hand on the beauty's shoulder: "You don't have to wait for me from now on, just eat when you're hungry."

Feng Yu smiled sweetly: "I'm not hungry."

While speaking, Feng Yu handed Tang Linger's letter to Su Yu: "It was delivered just this afternoon."

When Su Yu opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help being moved.

Feng Yu ate sullenly.

Su Yu peeked at Feng Yu, the little beauty looked peaceful, probably she didn't peek at the letter, otherwise the content of the letter would have shocked her enough.

……

The scouts once found blood books left by the bandit army on the stone wall near Huguan, so Su Yu knew the "eight strong Zhang family".

The eight people who thought this was a refugee, held grudges because of the failure of the uprising, and impromptu got together to say some cruel words to vent their sulking in the letter.

It was only later that Zhang's Ba Zhuang was the leader of the local militia organization, that is, a group of proficient martial arts minions raised by the Zhang family, who had been making waves in Taiyuan for many years.

They are composed of a group of Zhang's sons and Zhang's distant relatives, and it can be said that each of them is a one-in-a-million player.Their reputation is very bad. Back then when the Zhang family's rich did bad things, they were the ones who charged forward, and each of them carried a few lives on their backs.

It stands to reason that scum like them will not escape the Minyu bus, and the reason why they can persist until now is probably because of Cao Yuhan's plans.She might want to use those bad deeds to control Hedong Jiedushi, but she didn't expect that Hedong Jiedushi rebelled.

Facing this result, Su Yu just gave a wry smile and didn't say anything.Everyone makes mistakes, like Cao Yuzan, and Su Yu is no exception.

After hearing about the eighth age of the Zhang family, Su Yu didn't seem to take it very seriously. He not only went to the square to organize marriage activities, but also often made private visits in microservices.

That day, Su Yu took Feng Yu to the market and was recognized by a fellow villager. He imitated the local accent and forcibly quibbled, then took Feng Yu away and walked into a side street.The small street is very close to the market, but it is surprisingly quiet here.Or maybe it's just leaving the busy city, the noise becomes smaller, and it makes people feel quieter.

Turning the corner, Su Yu suddenly turned around and looked back.He seemed to be aware of someone following him, holding a small stone in his hand, his eyes were alert.Soon, he saw Wu Shajin leading a group of people rushing towards the direction Su Yu was looking at.But they only saw a peasant woman carrying a basket, and they checked that there was nothing wrong with the peasant woman, so they left the peasant woman and ran over.

"Your Highness, I still think this is too dangerous." Wu Shajin frowned and said, "It is not advisable for His Highness to be the bait!"

Su Yu smiled, and said with his hands behind his back: "If one of the Eight Zhuang can be arrested, it is possible to know the whereabouts of the Zhang family, and then we can completely eliminate them."

In fact, Su Yu was a little anxious to go home.

Because of the re-election of the side concubine, all walks of life put great pressure on Qin Wangfei. Qin Wang was not at home, and the Wangfei had no support and fell ill.

Su Yu always believed that Tang Ling'er was not a person who could not bear the pressure, but Su Yu also believed that Tang Ling'er's body was not as good as it looked.Especially after she gave birth and gained weight.

Tang Linger is a very persistent person. She doesn't care about some headaches and continues to work.

Essentially speaking, Tang Ling'er was also a child of close relatives. Her mind was fine, but her body was not.She is a workaholic, [-]/[-], from morning to night every day.To manage the seven major factories, the three major warehouses, thousands of acres of fertile land, the Luoxi Wharf, the Shouan Paper Mill, the Fengmingjian Jade Mine, and the countless small workshops in Qinghuafang.

They also want to fight for power and profit.Fight at home, fight outside.Uncles, elder brothers, aunts, aunts, sisters, sisters-in-law, queen mother, princess Taichang, and countless rivals in love, all of them are her targets.Fighting against chaebols and chambers of commerce is simply impossible.And she is often angry.

Not to mention close relatives, even normal people who are so worried can easily die from overwork.

And the matter of "re-electing the side concubine" was just the last straw that crushed her.

She is a person with a strong desire for control, and she thinks that the inner house of Prince Qin's mansion should be completely controlled by her.But if Ximen Wanting comes, the situation will change drastically.Don't expect Miss Ximen Nineteen to be as well-behaved as Kong Ting and Feng Yu.

And now it's not only Ximen Wanting's problem, but also a girl from the Meng family, and finally a girl from Gongxun Street.Everyone is a solid person behind the scenes.Once this group of people enters the family, they are not something that she can abolish if she wants to. It will inevitably involve the interests of various families and have a far-reaching impact.

Su Yu has already written back to Tang Linger, telling her not to get angry because of the side concubine, and you don't have to hesitate because of my political resources.

The original text of the letter said: There will never be a situation where all the three families support me, so I don't want the side concubines of the Meng family and the Ximen family.If the too long princess puts too much pressure on you, you can consider the girl from Gonggong Street.It's up to you to decide which girl to choose.As for the abolition of the side concubine, you just say that I disagree. If anyone is held accountable, let them talk to me.

Su Yu emphasized that Princess Taichang is the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, and you may consider finding a third concubine from the Zhan family.For Miss Zhan's sake, she might no longer ask for Feng Kong's two side concubines to be abolished.

By doing this, Su Yu completely tied himself to the Tang clan.Su Yu thought that it would be better to cling to one of the three families instead of hooking up with all three, so as to gain Tang Zhen's stronger support.Otherwise, the three families will become perfunctory, and no one will really support Su Yu.This seems to explain the saying "no friends, no enemies".

Although An Guogong is no longer planning to elect Su Yu as emperor, he is still the cornerstone of Su Yu.If Su Yu loses in the royal struggle, he can take refuge in the clan of the Tang clan.This is your way out.

Su Yu was anxious in his heart, but on the surface he looked relaxed.

Wandering around on the street failed to lure Zhang Shi Bazhuang out, but he didn't seem discouraged, and said he was going out of the city to play.

Wu Shajin didn't know what to do, and couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to Qin Bairen to discuss how to persuade King Qin.

Qin Bairen said, it is useless for us to persuade this kind of thing, and if we talk too much, it will appear that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, so it is better to let a woman persuade.

Wu Shajin stared at Qin Bairen and said, "Old Qin, I found that you have changed. You didn't think about things this way before."

Qin Bairen smiled: "Actually, I've always been like this, but you didn't realize it."

A woman in brocade clothes came to Qin Wang's mansion with a small basket. She was picked up by Wu Shajin without reporting to the door, and she was sent directly to the second door.Wu Shajin stood firm and said, it's not convenient for me to enter the land of women's relatives, so you can go find Concubine Feng by yourself.

Wu Shajin said solemnly, "Let me remind you that although Concubine Feng was born as a servant girl, she is now a nobleman and has a lot of rules. Don't treat her as the head of your kang, just sit cross-legged when you enter the room. "

Both Wu Shajin and Qin Bairen were orphans, they grew up together, like brothers, so Zheng Shuang called Wu Shajin his uncle.Hearing my uncle speak like this, Zheng Shuang was a little dissatisfied and felt slighted.

Looking at her eyes, she seems to be saying: It's as if we are a fool, do you need to remind me of this?
In fact, she didn't know that Wu Shajin's thinking was at a lower level than her thinking.For Wu Shajin to speak like this, he already thinks highly of her.

In the past, "Arhat crossing the river" Wu Shajin was an out-and-out disciple of the Mohist school. He lived on the mountain for a long time, made few friends, and had little to do with the nobles.But he had already stayed in Qin Wang's mansion for a while, met many noble women, opened his eyes, looked back at Zheng Shuang, and felt that the grade was too low.
