Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 607
Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng finally communicated, and Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to invite: "Master Chen, would you like to come to my Green Willow Villa for a glass of the Lin family's aged wine?"

Chen Geng smiled faintly: "Alright!"

So, the two went on the road together.

Lu Tian slowly moved his eyes away from the backs of the two of them, and stepped into the Zoushi Pavilion.

During a Chinese New Year party, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased by three points...

Qu's family, Qu Wendong's study.

A drink in a green cup, the fragrance of the teapot.

Qu Wendong and Lin Su sat facing each other, their gazes were directed towards the distant palace.

"The Grand Court Meeting is over!" Qu Wendong said.

"Yeah, this chess game is over!" Lin Su filled in the last corner with a white piece.

"Do you expect the final result to be as you wish?" Qu Wendong gently moved the chessboard to one side.

Lin Su smiled: "Did you see the two figures rising into the sky outside the palace?"

"No one?"

"Master Zhang and Bachelor Chen, they walked together, it was quite fun!"

This answer is not the answer to the previous question, but it seems to have answered that question - the two court officials from their camp walked together, and they were very happy, what does that mean?The description is in good condition!

Qu Wendong's gaze slowly shifted over: "When you stepped into the capital two years ago, did you ever imagine that there would be today?"

"Many things are taken one step at a time, and the two-year time span is still too long. I am not a fairy, how can I think so far?"

Qu Wendong said with a smile: "Every step of the way, there are many people who have subverted your cognition, right?"

"Of course!"

"Did the old man subvert your cognition?"

"Yes!" Lin Su said with a smile: "You promised to marry sister Qu Xiu into the Lin family, but I wrongly judged you."

"Do you think the old man just regards the Lin family as a pawn to charge forward?"

"It's okay to tell the truth. I did have this kind of thought at the time. In fact, I didn't care. Even if your Qu family uses my Lin family as a pawn, I still have the original intention of using your Qu family as a pawn."

Qu Wendong smiled lightly: "On the chessboard, there are only chess pieces. In this big chess game in the world, everyone is actually a chess piece. The difference is that some chess pieces can be used, and some chess pieces cannot be used. Sometimes think about it. It is also a blessing to have the qualifications to be regarded as chess pieces..."

Once the words are spoken, there will be no barriers...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door...

"Master, Mr. Zhou Zhang Yushi came to visit, and brought the third son of the Zhou family with him."

what?
Censor Zhou Zhang?

With the third son of the Zhou family?
What do you mean?
Qu Wendong moved his eyes to Lin Su...

Lin Su smiled and said: "I heard that the third son of the Zhou family will also take part in the palace examination next year. Tell brother Zhe to communicate with him more!"

"Allow him to read the information you left?" Qu Wendong was slightly shocked. The old man naturally knew about the information Lin Su left for Qu Zhe, but he didn't mention it to anyone, including The grandchildren he once valued most: Qu Jin and Qu Wu.

"Yes!" Lin Su said: "I already know something about this Mr. Zhou, and I have the conditions to read these materials."

"Okay! The older generation has made friends, so should the younger generation! You sit here, and the old man goes to meet Zhou Zhang!"

He left Lin Su in the study, went to meet Zhou Zhang, and said something like this, the older generation made friends, the younger generation made friends, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong with his words.

Lin Su couldn't help but laugh at this, and you forced me to belong to the "old generation" too?

Soon, Zhou Zhang entered the study, and Lin Su stood up to greet him...

Zhou Zhang sat down, and cut to the point with one sentence: "Today's grand court meeting is very gratifying. The other party's original plan was to let Lei Zheng bring up his topic of 'changing generals in Dragon City'. Unexpectedly, he didn't mention it at all, Prince. Assassinated last night, the shocking thunderstorm of "changing the head of the East Palace" broke out. Lei Zheng was ordered by His Majesty to interrogate the assailant with literary knowledge on the spot. It is expected... The mastermind behind the murderer's attack turned out to be Lei Zheng himself! Lei Zheng was at the time That expression, hahahaha, I have never seen such an interesting expression in my life as an official..."

The situation on Qu Wendong's face was changing, my God, all the expectations were fully fulfilled!

The matter Lin Su planned was concealed from him, and he was always worried, because no matter how brilliant a plan is, it depends on the result in the end, and now the result has come out, and everything is as expected!
Lin Su remained calm, as if everything was under control: "Lei is going straight outside the palace, or is it a joint trial by the three divisions?"

Zhou Zhang let out a long breath: "You are really good at predicting things, more than [-]% of the court officials could not have predicted that His Majesty gave Lei Zheng a straight behead outside the palace!"

Ordinarily, for a second-rank official like Lei Zheng, he had to go through a complicated process in order to be executed. The joint trial of the three divisions was the right way, but His Majesty directly executed Lei Zheng.

It made many people a little confused.

However, both Lin Su and Qu Wendong understand!
Lin Su said: "It seems that our Majesty still has no intention of giving up on the Third Prince!"

It is said that the joint trial of the three divisions is the right way, and His Majesty should give Lei Zheng a good trial. However, today, all the procedures have been omitted. There is only one root cause. His Majesty knows that Lei Zheng is closely related to the third prince. He is worried about the seventh trial and the eighth trial. The trial came to the third prince, and he didn't want this matter to be complicated.

So he simply went outside the Golden Palace and killed Lei Zheng.

This crispness is exactly the same as when he killed Ding Jiye that day.

He asked the commander of the Forbidden Palace to kill Ding Jiye cleanly, because he didn't want Ding Jiye to bring him out.

But today he simply killed Lei Zheng because he didn't want Lei Zheng to bring out the third prince.

It can be seen from this that His Majesty has true love for the third prince.

Qu Wendong said: "The crown prince is too favored, and it is easy to turn against the guest. Therefore, the king who is proficient in the emperor's mind will often create an opposite, so that the crown prince will not dominate the family. This is not enough to show that he loves the third prince. He just did it out of his own need to rule."

In a word!
Lin Su applauded deeply!

The so-called outsiders watch the excitement, but the insiders watch it is the way!
Ninety-nine out of ten people who have seen through His Majesty's move think that His Majesty favors the Third Prince, and only the Third Prince himself, his mother and concubine think so.

Even Lin Su thinks so.

Only Qu Wendong, who jumped out of the court hall to look at the court hall, can see clearly. How is this a question of who is favored by the emperor or not?He is an extremely cold king, he is a king with no bottom line of morality, how has he ever had any favors?He has always loved himself!

He was just playing with the emperor's mind!

He is engaging in checks and balances!
You thought he doted on the third prince, but in fact he was just guarding against the prince!
Confused?

This is politics!
Having said that, it unfolds...

When Qu Wendong and Zhou Zhang talked about the situation in the court, Lin Su basically couldn't get in his mouth. At present, there are too many things that can be discussed in the court. For example, after Lei Zheng's beheading, the free supervisor Zhengqing, who will take over?

There is also a Minister of the Ministry of War!
Who will win in the end?

The two discussed for a long time, Lin Su has been listening quietly, with wandering eyes, it seems that he is not listening too seriously.

Qu Wendong finally shifted his eyes to him: "Third Young Master, what do you think?"

When the two bigwigs have a controversial issue, they throw the topic at him, which is hard to find.

Lin Su said: "The issue that the two old men are arguing about, Su has not considered for the time being. What Su is considering is another position, who will take over."

"What position?" The two said in unison.

"Principal of White Deer Academy!"

As soon as this answer came out, the eyes of both of them looked at Lin Su changed a little, sparkling...

"Third Young Master, your ambition is..."

"Don't get me wrong, old man. I definitely don't have the idea of ​​being the dean of Bailu Academy, let alone the question of whether I am qualified or not. The key is that I can't bear this dual leadership, and it's not appropriate to give it to me." Lin Su hurriedly Veto: "I'm just wondering, who's most likely?"

The post of dean of Bailu Academy is very special and far more important than imagined.

Why?

It is the root of Wen Dao of the entire Great Cang!
The best Da Cang students will enter Bailu Academy.

Therefore, whether it is the Great Cang Dynasty Hall or the government offices in various places, all academic schools have the shadow of Bailu Academy.

What kind of style is Bailu Academy, and what kind of style will be the students it teaches.

What kind of person the dean of Bailu Academy will affect the style of Bailu Academy.

what does this mean?
It means that Bailu Academy will affect one generation or even several generations of literati. The academy advocates academics, and generations of scholars advocate academics. Speculation as mainstream...

Therefore, the selection of its dean will to a certain extent affect the atmosphere of the literary world in the next few years.

This is no small matter.

In addition, there is another layer of influence that has little influence on the whole world, but has a great influence on Lin Su personally.

This is a world where morality is respected.

Wen Dao has a great influence on the entire Da Cang political situation.

Dacang Wendao, the four representative institutions, Wenyuan Pavilion, Bailu Academy, Hanlin Academy, and Gongyuan, the people are used to calling them "three courtyards and one pavilion". It is too much, but it is recognized in the world that those who win the three courtyards and one pavilion win the world.

That day Huainan King Chen had millions of troops in the Nujiang River, and a hundred great Confucian scholars discussed Taoism, Huainan King did not pass the Jiangdong, what is the reason?It is one thing to worry about Da Cang being taken advantage of by foreign enemies. The bigger consideration is: these great Confucian scholars represent the three courtyards and one pavilion, and they represent the righteous way of the literary world.

If you fight with them to the death, even if the soldiers break through the capital, you will never be able to take the throne - what's the reason?The literati have the absolute right to speak. The literati all over the world criticize you, and the common people follow suit. Your emperor's imperial decree can't get out of the deep palace, and the order can't reach the place. What do you do?
Back then in the ancient country of Nanyang, how could a hundred great Confucians abdicate His Majesty the late emperor?This is also the reason.

Therefore, if Lin Su wanted to seek the world on behalf of King Chen, he couldn't get around the three courtyards and one pavilion.

Especially the one courtyard and one pavilion that are separated from the imperial system.

Wenyuan Pavilion, Bailu Academy!

Wenyuan Pavilion Zhang Juzheng is in the lead, and has basically been won.

The only thing left is White Deer Academy.

"There is one person, very likely!" Zhou Zhang said, "Lin Taowen lunatic Jiang Ruyue!"
