Chapter 2

I heard that the emperor does not trust you, and even the candidates for you have been found. I don’t know if it is true or false? If it is true, what will happen to me in the future? Zong Liang lowered his head and savored his daughter Hong. After a long time of silence, he suddenly raised his head and stared at me with bright eyes.

I was stunned. Although the rumors that Jiang Chi would soon take over me were rampant in the world, except for my family and my master's wife, others were very taboo to raise this issue in front of me. However, if you don't mention it, no matter how hard you are, all the people in the world who are a little smart understand that the reason why the tea party was opposed by several powerful people was the direct consequence of my unstable status.

Although there are some inaccurate rumors, Jiang Xiaohou is indeed very likely to take over me in three or four years to manage the world.

The facts cannot be refuted by me, otherwise, once they reach Jiang Chi and even the emperor's ears, I will not be able to take it away; and Zong Liang's current situation suddenly made me have a thought in my mind. Since he is willing to use it for Ding Cong, is it impossible for me to serve me? Therefore, I am determined to tell the truth and have a sincere attitude.

The emperor's young Yingfa naturally wanted to make a contribution to surpassing the previous emperor, but Yang Tinghe first took over the power, and then Fei Hong controlled the court's principles, and the emperor was quite constrained.

Didn’t Yang Tinghe have collapsed? Fei Hong is a supporter of the Sui Tong faction! Zong Liang couldn’t figure out the intention of my words and said suspiciously

Although Fei Hong stood on the side of the emperor in the big gift case, he was old and conservative, and often went in the opposite direction with the emperor's political views. The emperor just used him to eliminate the power of the heir faction.

This is naturally true, false, false, false, but I didn't expect Zong Liang to find out the mystery. In fact, the changes in the political situation in the Jianghu people are all watching the flowers in the fog. It is only because the dispute over the unification and heirs is really involved that it is known to everyone. And I gradually grasped the mystery of the officialdom after entering Beijing.

The chief assistant Fei Hong and Gui E and Fang Xianfu were as trusted by Jiajing. Jiajing even reached the point of obedience to him. Gui Fang and his two men recommended their teacher Yangming Gong many times, but were both blocked by Fei Hong. Jiajing adopted Fei Hong's opinion and wanted to transfer Li Yue to serve as Minister of War.

Fei Hong served as the head of the six ministries for many years, especially as the Minister of Personnel, whose disciples and old friends were all over the government and the country. After Yang Tinghe fell, Fei Hong's party actually became the most powerful force in the court.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Fei Hong's strength will inevitably arouse Jiajing's alertness. In fact, Gui E's several attacks on Fei Hong were criticized by Jiajing, but she did not investigate it in depth. Obviously, Jiajing wanted to retain a political force in the court that could compete with Fei Hong.

...Once Fei Hong completes his historical mission, whether he wants or not, he will withdraw from the political stage, and the Korean Central Committee will need a group of young and powerful blood that can understand the will of the sacred to help the emperor complete his grand blueprint. Therefore, I cannot stay in the world for ten or eight years.

So, in the future, I will be in general and minister. Zong is here to congratulate him first! Zong Liang smiled and bowed to him, but there was doubt between his eyebrows and eyes.

It is our honor to serve the emperor. As for generals and prime ministers, I, Wang Dong, dare not ask for extravagance. In fact, as long as I do my best to do things for the emperor, the emperor will naturally not treat me badly when he sees Wanli. Just like Lord Lu, he will soon be promoted to Suzhou Tongzhi

Lord Lu moved twice in two years, and from the seventh grade to the fifth grade in the blink of an eye, it was really a mighty emperor! Zong Liang sighed, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Tongzhi is the deputy of the prefect. In one mansion, there is one man below one mansion, and above ten thousand people. Unlike Tongzhi, Tongzhi is only responsible for a certain aspect of things, while Tongzhi takes overall charge of the overall situation. If Lu Wei is younger, he may even become the lord of a mansion in the future and truly become a local emperor.

Lu Wei was promoted to Suzhou Tongzhi this time to give up the position of Tongzhi for me to be responsible for the title of magistrate, but even so, it is a rare grace.

Zong Liang went from undercover in the Shaolin Sect in the Twelve-Serial Dock to the great butler of the Iron Sword Sect. No matter how many inside information there is, he was keen on power and was greedy for pleasure. It would be strange if he didn't jealous when he saw Lu Wei, who was also a disciple of Shaolin, he was not jealous.

Lord Lu saw that he was almost fifty years old, Mr. Zong this year... Zong Liang said that he was over forty years, and I smiled and said: That was nine years younger than Lord Lu. I thought that Lord Lu was just a ninth-rank Wu County Chief Administrator at the age of Mr. Zong.

Zong Liang's breathing was suffocated, and even Xiao Xiao noticed his strangeness and secretly scratched my palm.

The meaning in my words is clear. Lu Wei was nearly 40 years old and he was in the officialdom. It is not too late that Lu Wei can be promoted to eight levels in nine years. Zong Liang can do it. The key is to find the right backing.

Of course, Ding Cong is also a big backer. He is now a Zhejiang governor, a second-rank official, and a prince who controls one side. In terms of status, not to mention me, even Gui E Fang Xianfu is inferior.

However, young emperors are more likely to get close to young ministers. If it is true as I said, even the first-rank prime minister Fei Hong can hardly keep his position, then Ding Cong, who is two years older than Fei Hong, will probably not have a good life in the court for too long.

Take a step back, even if Ding Cong is appreciated by Jiajing, is he willing to fight for the benefit of a turbulent man like Zong Liang? Look at the people who followed him. Although they have a big fish and meat, they have no worries about food and drink, how many of them have obtained a serious background?

So what about me? Am I worth his surrender?

Because of Jiang Chi, I have depreciated in the eyes of most people in the martial arts world. Few people now think that I am not a martial arts world person at all. I should have entered the temple in another way.

Zong Liang is not a fool. After my guidance, he should wake up. I am going to take the right path of imperial examinations. This is the path I should take. For me, because of the care of Gui Fang and the others, it is likely to be a golden road.

Of course, this is just his wishful thinking. I don’t have much confidence in what the situation will be in two or three years later. Whether to advance or retreat should be between 5 or 5, or even retreat is even more likely. However, I don’t need to understand all this as clearly as Zong Liang said about all this.

Facing the bait I threw, even though Zong Liang was an old man, he became worried about gains and losses. After pondering for a while, he asked: "Don't move, I'll ask about something, do you know Zimmer's whereabouts?"

He is currently in the Suzhou prison. I didn't hide it and replied quickly: Master Li Yue, the governor of the Cao River, visited Suzhou. In order to ensure his safety, Suzhou launched a crackdown on the Internet in those days. Zimmer could not control his little brother, so Lu Wei had to help him manage it. But his heart was moved. He suddenly asked Zimmer, was it because I was encouraged to rebuild the Iron Sword Sect?

Zong Liang's expression became obviously relaxed. I heard what I said, even if I had the intention to target the Iron Sword Sect, time has passed, and there is no need to bind Zimo anymore. That little thing can naturally turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.

If you want to get Zimo out of prison, it is your delusion. Even if I can support the Iron Sword Sect, I have to keep its strength within a range I can tolerate. What's more, if these people really have the remnants of the Twelve Serial Docks, I still have an irreconcilable old account to settle with them!

Zong Liang, burn the incense, you didn't participate in insulting Wuxia. The one who insulted Wuxia was your bastard brother, which was also considered lucky. He had already seen the King of Hell if he fell into my hands. If there were other people alive, one would count as one, I don't want to let them go so easily

Didn’t Zimmer use a trick to transfer to Suzhou?

Just as Zong Liang was about to speak, he suddenly heard a hearty laughter from outside the door. Following the laughter, he walked into the inn with his head raised. He was a familiar figure who I was extremely disgusted with.

Brother Li said this badly!

The person who came was as beautiful as jade, like a powder-plated He Lang, and Li Si from Xueyi Xiezhuang! He gently waved the paper fan and walked over without getting dirty. He was as graceful as a god, but his face was very pale. Although his feet were fast, it seemed a little frivolous in the eyes of experts like Zong Liang, and I, and there were traces of bandages vaguely visible on the left arm. Obviously, at the battle at Xiaoxiang Pavilion a few days ago, Tang Sanzang's flying knife caused him a lot of harm.

Behind him, the beautiful man followed closely, but his pace was fast, and the beautiful man was seven or eight steps behind. When Li Si had already stood at my table, she had just stepped past the threshold of the inn.

Hearing my voice, she was suddenly stunned, her feet slowed down, and her eyes fell on me all at once. In just a few breaths, she recognized me. After a little hesitation, she walked towards me gracefully. Although her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, her attitude was extremely calm!

Have met adults

Su Jin...

Even though I already knew what kind of decay she lived after I entered the world, I also knew that such a woman was not worthy of my nostalgia. But when I saw her and Li Si didn't love her, I was still as if someone had stabbed her in the chest and couldn't help but let out a painful moan in my heart.

Young Master Dong is not an outsider. Su Jin's Wanfu was only halfway through, and Li Si hugged him: Young Master Dong, I was about to look for you, but I didn't want to meet you here.

Regardless of whether the master agreed or not, he ordered the waiter to bring in two chairs and pulled Su Jin to sit down in a big manner.

Su Jin recognized Xiao Xiao and called out Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Xiao replied: Everyone Su, and then the two women were speechless.

My heart felt sad, thinking about how affectionate the two of them were, and now the name sounds so harsh! Thinking of Su Jin's name to me, from the eldest son to the second son, from the second son to the first son, and now he has become an adult, and the distance between the two is getting farther and farther away.

Brother Li is looking for something? I asked the waiter to add two more dishes and ordered a few more wine and dishes.

It's not for her! Li Si gently stroked Su Jin's black hair and smiled: I'm going to marry the fourth lady of Ningbo Lang Gong's palace next New Year, so Jin'er naturally wants to marry in together, but she is still registered in Qinlou now. Can you please give up your hand and let her get rid of her family? As for the money you redeem, don't worry, you will never let Qinlou suffer a loss.

I was shocked and angry when I heard this. At that time, when I wanted to quit Su Jin, she always made excuses to refuse, but now she is going to marry Li Si as a concubine! In addition to her appearance, how can Li Si compare to me!

The eyes fell on Su Jin involuntarily. Seeing her look shy and down, she seemed to be very happy about this marriage. The faint smile on the corner of her mouth further showed that she was full of happiness for the future.

Forget it! I was completely disappointed and couldn't say anything. I was about to agree, but I felt a slight pain in my hand. It was Xiao Xiao who secretly pinched me

My husband, my godmother had something to do before, and the girl from Qinlou could make the decision, but everyone in Su needed her to decide.

Huh? When did Liu Niang say this? I was suspicious, but I guessed Xiao Xiao’s intention in a blink of an eye. She was probably afraid that I would not have a relationship with Su Jin, and I was squeezed by Li Si, so she said this excuse so that I could have room for buffering. From her, she was naturally more convincing than me.

But, I am completely disappointed with Su Jin! Xiao Xiao, she is really not worth your effort!

I turned my head and looked at Xiao Xiao, but found that things were not as simple as I thought. Years of tacit understanding made me realize the anxiety in her eyes that outsiders could never see. The force from my hand also reminded me that what she said was really useful.

So, the words that had already reached my mouth are no problem. I swallowed them back into my stomach, and a smile appeared on my face: Congratulations to Brother Li, Miss Lang Si and Su, Mr. Li's future is unlimited, but my godmother has indeed ordered him. Everyone has different identities and she has to decide the big things himself. I dare not make any decisions. However, my godmother has always loved everyone, and Qin Lou and Tongmenghui have a good relationship. I think she will be happy to succeed in this matter. I will notify my godmother now. Brother Li will only wait a few more days. As for the redeem of money, Brother Li should not mention it again. Everyone Su is married, and we will marry our daughter. Then we will give you a dowry! But if everyone Su suffers grievances in the future, our family will not be able to spare you!

Thank you for being a little bitch! Li Si laughed loudly, and didn't seem to care how many days or later Su Jin's freedom was settled. Instead, Su Jin glanced at me in disappointment, as if he was complaining that I refused to agree to quit her immediately, and there was suspicion of revenge on her love for other people.

Looking at Li Siyang's smile, I felt extremely upset. If it were my previous temper, I would have slapped his little white face into a paint shop. But he is the elder and general manager of the Tongmenghui, and has a considerable influence on the things of the Dajiang League. He is also very likely a secret disciple of Yinhu. The tea party requires the participation of these two families. I really can't afford to offend him now.

Of course, whenever Su Jin shows a hint of love for me, I will even try to give up my wealth and glory, but this is just an assumption.

Mr. Zong said that the leader of the Qi family was injured, and Xiaotian temporarily took over the position of leader of the two alliances? I changed the topic from the annoying Li Si marriage.

Zong Lao Er, why are you like a long-tongued woman in the city, chattering and spreading rumors! After Li Si entered the inn, she looked at Zong Liang for the first time. Although she was smiling and her tone seemed to be joking, but her words were as vicious as a poisonous snake.

Strangely, Zong Liang, a master who ranks three places higher than Li Siyou in the celebrity directory, and his martial arts skills may even be almost the same as me. Faced with Li Si's provocation, he swallowed his anger and just smiled awkwardly.

So, in the battle of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the Tang Sect and the Dajiang League were really both defeated? I really don’t understand. The Murong family in Jiangbei is eyeing him, why did the Dajiang League provoke the Tang Sect? I intend to open up an embarrassing situation for Zong Liang, so I asked.

It was just a misunderstanding! Li Si said lightly: The Dajiang Alliance did not know that Tang Tianwei was a traitor to the Tang Sect, and the head of the Tang family believed the slander and thought that Tang Tianwei settled in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and became an ally with the Dajiang Alliance. Speaking of which, the battle was really not worth it, and it is not ruled out that someone secretly made a mistake, causing the two families to have misunderstandings!

He looked at me with bright eyes: I heard that Young Master Dong was going to visit the leader of Qi in Dajiang League. The leader of Qi had been waiting for many days, but he did not see you coming. What delayed you?

The implication is that I suspect that I have done something through it, and I will use rumors to tie the two sides in Hangzhou to facilitate the Tang Sect's actions.

It's a letter from the old carriage shop. A few days ago, I booked a carriage to Hangzhou from the carriage shop. Maybe they misunderstood. I smiled.

In fact, with my current status, I don’t need to explain the whole story to Li Si, but Zong Liang is the target I am fighting for at this moment, so I still pressed down on the anger in my heart and told the statement I had prepared in advance.

Misunderstand?

Of course it was a misunderstanding! The person who was going to Hangzhou was my housekeeper Gao Qi. He had to be the chief clerk of Jiading County. Before taking up his new position, he wanted to go back to Hangzhou to visit his father-in-law, but Jiading County was too urgent to urge him, so he had to take office first. As for me, of course, the leader of Qi had to visit him. I was really concerned about the tea party, but all this was not as important as the reunion with my family.

After hearing this unexpected but reasonable explanation, Li Si was amused and crying. After Zong Liang heard the news about Gao Qi, a brilliant color flashed in his eyes. It seems that Gao Qi's development has a deep temptation for him. A ignorant gangster can actually be the ninth-rank chief clerk. What reason does he have to pessimistic about his future? He just lacks a leader, and there is a...
