Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 711

Ariel was stunned, and was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, given Qin Su's background as a concubine, how could the Xue family stand behind her?Even if she turned into a princess later, Xue Shi has always been afraid of the royal family, so he should stay away from her even more, so how could he bet on her?
This is indeed very unreasonable, and it is also very inconsistent with Xue's usual actions.

"Let's put this matter aside for the time being." Mo Buli's icy voice resounded like a line of ice, disturbing the beauty of the spring in the courtyard and bringing A Lie back to his senses.

He raised his head and looked at Mo Buli, and after a while he came to his senses, crossed his hands and said, "Mister, I'm too strict."

Mo Buli's expression at this moment has become a little more relaxed, and he smiled when he heard the words, and said: "As a counselor, you must know why. But I am not a counselor, what I want is the result. As for the process , is not important to me."

When he said this, he suddenly stretched out an index finger, pointed in the direction of the southeast corner, and said with a half-smile: "She Qin Liu is definitely not a princess. We have ironclad evidence for this matter. As long as she falls , I said who is behind her, that is who."

Having said this, he turned his eyes to look at Ariel, and suddenly smiled.

That smile is dazzling and beautiful, like a shooting star across the sky, so beautiful that people dare not stare at it.

With this beautiful smile, Mo Buli said softly: "I heard that at today's flower feast, Princess Jinling received flowers from three gentlemen."

Hearing this, Ariel's eyebrows and eyes instantly showed surprise, he nodded and said: "Yes, sir. Besides Xue's second son, there is another branch of variegated hibiscus, which was given by Huan Zicheng."

"Look, isn't this enough?" Mo Buli said with a smile, dusted off his white shirt, turned and walked into the room.

The candles in the room were dimly lit, and the spring breeze brought the fragrance of flowers in the distance, but it was more pleasant than usual.There is a simple copper candlestick on the desk by the window. At this moment, the thin candle in the candlestick is burning, and the weak candle flame flickers in the night, and the flame is driven by the wind of the curtain on the door, shaking endlessly.

Mo Buli lifted up his robe and sat down in front of the desk, Ariel stepped forward a few steps, took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to him, respectfully said: "News from Jiangyang County."

Mo Buli took the note and glanced at it, the corners of his lips curled up, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes, and he said: "Even Cheng Tingzhen got the position of a servant and a Marquis of Ting. Also interesting."

Having said that, he raised the note and looked at Ariel: "Whose idea is this?"

"Jiang Pushe." Ariel replied, with downcast eyebrows and eyes flat, "Jiang Pushe means that if only Zuo Sikuang is promoted, he may not be able to convince everyone, so he brought Cheng Tingzhen in as well. Servant archery is not an important position, and a Marquis of Ting can't do much in Dadu."

"Whether it can be done or not is not up to Jiang Pushe." Mo Buli said coldly, handed the note back to A Lie, and asked, "Where is Zuo Sikuang?"

"Already on the way to Beijing." A Lie said, "The two surnames Cheng and Zuo are walking together, and they also brought several lords and girls from the Qin family and their wives from the Qin clan. It is said that the Xue family also specially They sent people to escort them along the way, because they were afraid that the Marquis of Han'an Township would retaliate and kill people for their crimes."

Everyone laughed with a "hehe".This laughter was heard in the dim light, and there was something strange that could not be described.

"By doing this, Mrs. Xue is supporting Cheng Tingzhen, or showing favor to Princess Jinling?" He asked with a smile.

Ariel didn't speak, just bowed.

Actually, Mo Buli didn't need his answer, after saying that, he fixed his eyes on the candlestick, staring at the faint candle flame in a trance.

After a long time, his cold voice sounded, and he asked, "Is there a conclusion about Lu Shicheng?"

"Yes, sir." A Lie said flatly, "This matter is no longer possible. The matter of Lu Shicheng's transfer to the capital before has not been able to advance. The staff we placed in the Ministry of Officials reported twice, but they were all sent back intact. Afterwards, Lu Shilun, Lu Shicheng's eldest brother, went to the Ministry of Officials in person, saying, "If you are suspicious, you should avoid relatives", and said, "My brother still needs to practice, so let him work in Shangjing for five years before talking." .”

He paused here for a while, and then continued: "Lu Shilun not only said this in the Ministry of Officials, but he also handed over the papers to His Majesty, and put forward the saying of 'The big surname is Rang, and the small surname is on', which roughly means: Fan De Talented people, regardless of their backgrounds, are only for their talents. With this discount, Longxin is very happy, and Lu Shilun has recently gone to Shoucheng Hall more times than before."

Mo Buli quietly listened to his words with lowered eyes, with an expression that could not distinguish between happiness and anger.

A Lie's voice still didn't stop, and he continued to say at this time: "With Lu Shilun's advice, the matter of Lu Shicheng's entry to Beijing is almost in vain, and we in the official department have nothing to do. In addition, the Holy Majesty has recently deliberately let Xiao surname and The children of the Han clan have entered the court, and now the Jiang family, the Huan family, the Xue family and the three princes are being called to discuss this matter."

Hearing this, Mo Buli had a sneering look on his face, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly grew, and he said solemnly: "What a cunning old Lu Shilun, he actually took my army here."

A Lie's expression at this time was also very solemn, and he said: "The affairs of Cheng Tingzhen and Lu Shicheng are intertwined. First, the matter of Lu Shicheng's promotion was postponed twice by the officials, and then there was Lu Shilun's note. Then, Jiang Pushe promoted Cheng Tingzhen. Cheng is a standard small surname, Jiang Pushe's move is very sacred."

There was a lot of deep meaning in his words, but Mo Buli was not in a hurry to speak.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his face as cold as ice.

After a long while, he just stopped, looked back at Ariel, and said in a low voice, "Jiang Pushe took our chess pieces and went to seek his own future."

Judging from Jiang Pushe's behavior, Mo Buli's deduction is very logical, but Ariel seems to disagree with his point of view. After pondering for a while, he expressed his opinion: "Sir, forgive me. , My view is slightly different from that of Mr. I always feel that these coincidences are not likely to be done by Jiang Fengxian, but rather like an invisible hand pushing the direction of the whole thing."

When he said this, he took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said: "I just received the news in the middle of the morning today. Call him to the study to talk, and Huan Silang is very close to Lu Shilun."

He paused here, and continued: "Just ten days ago, Huan Silang had a small banquet with his brother and the princes of the Lu family. He didn't know what was said at the banquet. Huan Silang suddenly left the table angrily and went straight In Lu Shilun's study room, the two talked for a long time in the room, and Lu Shilun even personally sent his nephew out of the study room. On the second day, Lu Shilun wrote the scripture."
