Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 312 Undercurrent
Gu Tingye has a reputation as a playboy in Bianjing, but this reputation is partly due to the fact that several members of the Gu family's fourth and fifth bedrooms blamed Gu Tingye for their bad things.

The other part is that every time Gu Tingye was punished by Gu Yan, he deliberately went to the brothel with a mentality of giving up on himself.

Coupled with the fact that she sent people to spread some rumors secretly, Gu Tingye eventually became a famous dandy in Bianjing.

However, since Gu Tingye secretly ran away from home and went to Yangzhou a few years ago, Gu Tingye seems to have become a different person.

He even proposed to study and take the imperial examination.

Xiao Qin felt something was wrong at that time and wondered if Gu Tingye knew something in Yangzhou.

However, Gu Tingye still respected her very much, which made her a little unsure for a while.

Not long after, the news came back that Gu Yankai was going back to Bianjing, but Gu Tingye said that he was going to Bailudong Academy to study. Xiao Qin speculated that Gu Tingye wanted to study because he was afraid that Gu Yankai would pursue him for running away from home. Gu Yankai showed it in front of him.

Later, I felt that if Gu Yankai came back, he would still pursue him, so he simply hid in Bailudong Academy.

Although this was somewhat inconsistent with Gu Tingye's character, Xiao Qin couldn't think of any other possibilities.

The next day, he went to the Sheng family to study with his injury.

Did Gu Tingye really change his temper?
Until Gu Tingye came back a few days ago, he was scolded by Gu Yankai because he smelled of alcohol.

For several days in a row, I went out to study at Sheng's house in the morning and came back after school in the afternoon.

He even got furious and wanted to send someone to capture Gu Tingye.

She even expected Gu Tingye to run away from home and never come back.

According to Tingye's previous temperament, every time he was scolded by Gu Yankai, he would go to a brothel. On the one hand, he drank to relieve his sorrows, and on the other hand, he deliberately made Gu Yankai angry.

Xiao Qin wished that Gu Tingye would give up on himself and spend all day looking for flowers, making Gu Yankai completely disappointed in Gu Tingye.

Not only was Xiao Qin not worried at first, but she was even happier.

However, Gu Tingye questioned Gu Yankai about the cause of his biological mother's death.

Xiao Qin was happy in her heart, but on the surface she played the role of a loving mother, protecting Gu Tingye and interceding for him.

"Madam is worrying too much. I think this is impossible. If the Second Young Master really knows something, why does he treat Madam the same as before?" Chu's mother said.

This made Xiao Qin feel that something was wrong.

In the end, Xiao Qin gave up the idea after some persuasion.

But not only did Gu Tingye not leave Bianjing as she expected, he didn't even go to the brothel.

It's like a different person.

However, Gu Tingye passed the county examination last year and passed the township examination this year.

Not to mention Xiao Qin thought so, even Gu Yankai thought so after hearing the news after he came back.

However, Gu Tingye's next reaction was beyond her expectations.

She had to think this way, because if Gu Tingye really knew something but still pretended to be ignorant, who knew if Gu Tingye was planning to take revenge on her?
"In that case, madam, why don't you test the second young master?" Chu's mother said.

"Perhaps he is hiding it deeply?" Xiao Qin frowned.

A breakup between father and son is what she most wants to see.

"Testing is necessary, but we don't need to take action. Those dandy boys in the fourth and fifth houses have had a hard time in the past few years since Erlang left Bianjing." Xiao Qin sneered.

Those in the four- and five-bedroom apartments used to go out to have dinner and wine, and they all liked to pay Gu Tingye's bills. Every time someone came to ask for money, she paid them back.

Then he pretended to be inadvertent and let Gu Yankai know.

After Gu Tingye left, they were not so cool.

Now that Gu Tingye is back, with the temperament of those people, they may do this again.

"Do we still need to send someone to keep an eye on the Second Young Master? I'm worried that I'll be in trouble if the Second Young Master finds out." Chu's mother asked.

"Send someone to keep watching and ask them to be bolder. If they find out, they will say it was sent by the master." Xiao Qin said calmly. …

In mid-May, Wen Yanjing returned to Bianjing, rented a house in Bianjing, and went to Sheng's house to study every day.

But this has no impact on Li An and the others, it's just one more person.

Wen Yanjing also has a high emotional intelligence. Although Qi Heng and Gu Tingye have different identities, he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of them.

In addition to their good knowledge, Gu Tingye and Qi Heng were not as arrogant as ordinary children from aristocratic families, and they got along well with each other.

Last time, all the ministers and ministers publicly asked the officials to adopt the clan and appoint a prince, which annoyed the officials and demoted many officials. However, the officials in the DPRK did not give up.

In fact, ancient literati were very opposed to the emperor. The more the emperor disagreed, the more they insisted.

How could it be possible that the scholar's "integrity" had been lost just because the officials demoted some people?

There is nothing the officials can do about it. They can't really demote all the officials who submitted the memorial.

In desperation, the officials simply pretended to be sick.

However, at this time, many officials wrote to impeach Wang Anshi.

The reason is that when Wang Anshi was serving as the general judge in Yuzhou, he cleverly created a name to implement reforms for the sake of the welfare of the people.

In fact, it was to enrich his own pockets, and all the local gentry who did not cooperate were targeted by him.

The squire of Yuzhou had no choice but to find the magistrate of Yuzhou and implore him to write to the court and ask the court to make the decision for them.

Many officials in the court petitioned them to remove Wang Anshi and take him back to Beijing to face charges.

The officials did not agree, but said they would send someone to investigate.

For the officials, agreeing to release Wang Anshi was to get rid of Wang Anshi, an annoying person, and save him from bothering himself by writing letters asking for reform every day.

Secondly, I also wanted to let Wang Anshi go to the local troubles, so that the officials would not keep an eye on the matter of establishing the crown prince every day.

Now that Wang Anshi has been impeached, the calls for the appointment of a crown prince have indeed become quieter, which makes officials breathe a sigh of relief.

In this case, no matter whether the things reported in the impeachment report against Wang Anshi are true or not, it is impossible for the officials to deal with Wang Anshi.

Otherwise, if Wang Anshi is dealt with, those officials will not be able to continue to force him to establish a throne.

The attitude of the officials also made many officials wonder. Could it be that what Wang Anshi did in Yuzhou was secretly instructed by the officials?

When the reformists were demoted and their power was greatly reduced, the conservatives no longer cared about whether to establish a governor or not, and they all petitioned to deal with Wang Anshi.

In their memorial, Wang Anshi seemed to have become a heinous person who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Most of these people are conservatives, but there are also a small number of reformists.

It goes without saying that the old guard is out for their own interests.

Those reformists believe that this is not a good time for reform.

First of all, the crown prince is now determined, and the official family has lost a son. He is in his fifties but looks as old as sixty or seventy years old, and his health has not been good.

In this case, even if the official family agrees, who knows how long the official family can survive?

If the official family collapses just after the New Deal is implemented, whether the reform can continue depends on the attitude of the new monarch.

The second is lack of preparation. Because the last New Deal failed, the reformists suffered a huge blow.

The power and influence in the DPRK are very small. Even if reforms are implemented, the chance of failure is still very high.

For a time, the entire Bianjing capital was discussing this matter, but no one paid attention to the matter of establishing a prince.

In this way, the officials will not agree to deal with Wang Anshi.
