Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 183 Coauthor You Still Want To Be My Father
After helping Shi Zhongkui up, Shui Rong hurriedly took a few steps back, and bowed respectfully.

"It's true that Xiao Wang enjoys good fortune, but it's all due to the great grace of the emperor and the legacy of his ancestors. Don't make fun of Xiao Wang."

Shi Zhongkui chuckled, "Chitose is so humble, no wonder His Majesty likes you so much."

At first glance, these words sounded good, but when Shui Rong thought of the emperor's own brother, King Zhongshun, his heart ached.

This competition for favor is not only among the eunuchs and concubines, it may be even more intense among the courtiers.

As the emperor's No. [-] loyal minister, King Zhongshun, ever since the emperor intended to win over the four princes with foreign surnames, he has been looking for trouble for himself every few days.

If this word reaches the ears of King Zhongshun, one can imagine how much trouble will be waiting for him.

If King Zhongshun and Shi Zhongkui were added, Shui Rong would be overwhelmed thinking about it.

Even for the first time, the title Chitose sounds really harsh.

And it was because he was too young to attend the funeral of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ningguo mansion, and now it seems that Meng Lang is indeed.

Although it created a sign that the Jia family was getting closer to him, in fact the Jia family was not as stupid as imagined.

Except that Jia Baoyu would occasionally come to his palace as a guest.

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Zheng never visited.

Jia Amnesty simply hid in his East Courtyard and had a good time, caring only about having fun and not caring about foreign affairs at all.

And last year when he opened his mouth to pit Shi Zhongkui, it was because Shui Rong felt that the Jia family was showing signs of getting closer to Shi Zhongkui, so he couldn't hold back for a while, and wanted to dig a hole to pit Shi Zhongkui.

But I didn't expect that people could see through my mind at a glance.

He didn't answer or speak at all, and even changed the subject and ignored himself.

Now that he found an opportunity, he would even cheat Jia Baoyu, his brother-in-law, and make trouble for himself.

After offending such a ruthless person, Shui Rong wished he could slap him.

He secretly thought that he was still short-sighted and didn't know the evil and selfishness of people's hearts.

He could only be submissive and said, "Xiao Wang was Meng Lang back then, and I will ask Lord Liu Yuan to teach him more. If he can serve by your side, it will be Xiao Wang's blessing."

The corners of Shi Zhongkui's mouth turned up into a smile, this kid was digging a hole for himself again.

If you accept a prince with a foreign surname as your disciple, you can imagine how troublesome it will be.

"Chitose is about the same age as Xiaguan, how can Xiaguan have the qualifications to give advice to Chitose? Besides, I heard that Chitose's family has invited dozens of people who are well-educated in poetry and books, not to mention that they hold literary meetings from time to time. I think Chitose must have a lot of knowledge.

In addition, Qiantui's move has saved the sages from being buried in the countryside, and they have the opportunity to write books and biographies, which is considered a great merit. "

Shui Rong's brow started to sweat after hearing these words.

The surrounding eunuchs, big and small, who listened with pricked ears, and all the officials, big and small, looked at Shi Zhongkui with fear at this moment.

There are a few honorable officials, a few officials, a dozen scholars who can't even pass the Jinshi examination, and raising people to be purists is really not a big deal.

But the words of "writing books and biography so that talents will not be buried" are serious.

To put it lightly, this is an invitation.

To put it more seriously, isn't Li Shimin's fat son Li Tai the same as Shui Rong?
But Li Tai's ending is not so good, what he has done, if put on Shui Rong's head, beheading would be light.

At this time, Shui Rong directly regarded Shi Zhongkui as a lunatic, how much hatred and resentment did he have to say such a thing?

I wanted to go directly, but after thinking about it, I saluted respectfully, and then hurriedly walked into the palace gate.

Shi Zhongkui chuckled, he is not a mad dog that bites everyone.

This test basically confirmed that the water-soluble had an unreasonable idea.

Although it is somewhat subjective, it is unbelievable that an 18 or 9-year-old prince is so good at forbearance.

Moreover, he was only 15 or 6 years old when he went to Qin Keqing's funeral, obviously to win over the Jia family.

So the more mature and rational Shui Rong looks, the more it shows that he has a lot of ambition.

Otherwise, it would be normal for a prince who lost his father early and inherited the prince to become a dude.

But the fact is the opposite, so I don't believe that Shui Rong doesn't have a target that can make him ignore all kinds of temptations.

What else could a county king be thinking about?
This matter quickly spread throughout the government and the public, and Shui Rong didn't realize that talking to Shi Zhongkui today was a mistake in itself.
-
Although eunuch Liu didn't know the specific content of the conversation between Shi Zhongkui and Shui Rong for the time being, he still knew from his subordinates that Shui Rong was forced to retreat by Shi Zhongkui's few words.

So those who are afraid of Shi Zhongkui can no longer be afraid.

Even though he scolded Shi Zhongkui to death in his heart, he still kept a smile on his face.

It's just that the smile looks a little unnatural.

Shi Zhongkui smiled, and put his hand into the sleeve of his official uniform.

When he stretched out his hand, the pattern on the bank note faintly revealed in the palm of his hand, which immediately changed Eunuch Liu's expression.

With a wave of his smiling hand, he covered it with his sleeves, and the bank note was in his hand.

Then I squeezed the thickness of the stacked banknotes, and I was overjoyed. If there is no accident, it must be two 1000 taels banknotes.

He secretly thought that although Liu Yuangong was stingy and held grudges, he also knew the truth of being a man and an official.

Once the money is given away, everyone will be their own.

Hastily stretched out his hand, and supported Jia Zhengdao who was still kneeling on the ground with a smile, "The respect and filial piety of the government official, the slaves will truthfully report to His Majesty and the saint. At this moment, why not go to the Ning Mansion and see Uncle Zhen, Grandma Ning Mansion and How are you, old lady?"

Then he helped Jia Lian up with his own hands.

As for Jia Baoyu, he was directly ignored by Eunuch Liu.

Jia Lian is Yingchun's elder brother, and Baoyu is his cousin. The closeness and distance can be seen at a glance.

Besides, Jia Baoyu is a 13-year-old child who is neither self-motivated nor profitable, so eunuch Liu would not care about him.

Jia Zheng was so close, although he couldn't see the expressions of Shi Zhongkui and Eunuch Liu, he could easily see Shi Zhongkui giving the bank note just now.

Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Boqian still had the courage to give away at least two 3000 taels of silver.

But in this way, my family owes him another favor.

Then he stood up with the help of Shi Zhongkui, who was somewhat attentive, and thanked Eunuch Liu, before walking lamely towards Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu naturally followed, Wang Xifeng wanted to follow, but after being stared at by the embroidered clothes guard, he immediately lost his courage.

I can only go back to the sedan chair honestly.

Sitting bored, he simply ordered someone to go back to Rongguo Mansion and report to Jia Mu.

And a group of embroidered guards guarding the gate had already moved out of the way, and even bowed to watch Shi Zhongkui, Jia Zheng and others enter Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng sighed again in his heart, but it would be too embarrassing for him, an old master, to make him work hard at the age of nearly fifty.

And if he really had that ambition and ability, he wouldn't have wasted so many years.

He could only hold Shi Zhongkui's hand tightly subconsciously, and sighed, "Bo Qian, I've never been so grateful for my uncle, I strongly approved of your marriage with the second girl."

After finishing speaking, he reacted and cupped his hands in the direction of the Imperial Palace and Longshou Palace, "Your Majesty and the saint should be kind, otherwise Baochai and the second girl would not be able to form a good relationship with you."

Shi Zhongkui smiled, with this incident, the Jia family would naturally move closer to him, and he took over the military relations of several generations of the Jia family as a matter of course.

As for Wang Ziteng, all the nobles who know about this incident actually have a steelyard in their hearts.

When one knew about it, he ran actively, while the other pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Even individuals know how to choose.

After all, a noble family like the Jia family would inevitably think that if one day their own family was in trouble, people like Shi Zhongkui would probably help.

It can be said that this time I helped the Jia family, I didn't get any benefits obviously, but I made a lot of money secretly.

"Second uncle rest assured for now, the court has no energy to take care of other things for a while." Shi Zhongkui used his body, pointed to the north, and secretly said 'grassland'.

Jia Zheng didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Shi Zhongkui drawing his sword, he finally understood that there might be a war this year.

In this way, unless it is crimes such as treason and treason, the stability of the court will indeed overwhelm many problems.

But what Jia Zheng didn't know was that if the embroidered clothes guards hadn't found the five paper-made five ghost pictures of the five ghosts and nightmares in Dengxiange, Ningguo Mansion was actually a victim, and things wouldn't be so simple.

And Jia Zhen is used to being domineering in Ningguo Mansion, so he really has no reason to harm You Shi and You Lao Niang.

On the contrary, it is more likely that the unknown black hand wants to harm Jia Zhen.

To a certain extent, Jia Zhen and Jia Mansion, who were targeted by witchcraft, were teammates who could win over and form an alliance in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor.

Coupled with the fact that Shi Zhongkui implicated King Shui Rong of Beijing County, the Supreme Emperor would not necessarily let him go.

Da Zhou has a foreign surname, a bit like Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong.

Therefore, when dealing with the problem of water solubility, it is necessary to be cautious.

If ironclad evidence can be found to justifiably seize the water-soluble prince, the emperor and the overlord will definitely not hesitate.

But if it's just doubts and suspicions, if you can't make a final decision, then that's another story.

Anyone with a bit of political wisdom will scare and warn with thunder and rain, and finally let it go gently.

What's more, compared to the other three county kings with foreign surnames, although Shui Rong's family has a lot of clean people, he has no military power in his hands, and the degree of harm is the lowest.

The subject of the contradiction can't face him, so as not to put the other three county kings and nobles in danger.

However, the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were not so easy to let go, at least they were the same as everyone else, they didn't take their own safety and life seriously.

Moreover, everyone knew that Shi Zhongkui was messing around. While the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were angry, of course they had to arrest his young man.

But when I calm down and think about it, I feel that he is also responsible and affectionate.

The emperor is also a human being, and his selfishness is often more important than anyone else.

He wants to enjoy power and indulge his desires, but at the same time he is worried about what the world thinks of him. This kind of contradictory heart must subconsciously favor the minister with shortcomings.

Not like moral saints.

To be able to hold back his anger while retaining those ministers who scolded them is already considered a good emperor.

But judging from the whole history, even Mingjun's subordinates will inevitably have flatterers.

Even the number of such people is not small at all.

On the contrary, people like Wei Zheng have always been very few.

When Shang Zhou and Sui Yang were young, they also had signs and performances of Ming emperors.

On the contrary, it was Lao Li who killed his brother, killed his younger brother, and forced his own father to be scolded early, so he was always vigilant to be a wise king, but he did a lot of absurd things in his later years.

Only then did Shi Zhongkui get the qualification to mobilize the Embroidery Guards again, to thoroughly investigate the Ningguo Mansion and catch the real culprit of the witchcraft.

Both the emperor and the overlord felt that a person like him was capable and easy to control, so of course he was relieved to let him do things.

He even handed over the confidential matter to him, who is related to the Jia family by marriage.

But for Shi Zhongkui, there was no need to investigate, he knew that it was Ma Daopo who did it.

But he couldn't go directly to arrest Ma Daopo, so he brought people to Ningguo Mansion first.

After listening to Shi Zhongkui's explanation of the turmoil in just a few words, no matter how stupid Jia Zheng was, he understood that things were not as simple as Shi Zhongkui said.

But this does not prevent him from regarding Shi Zhongkui as his own person who can be entrusted and relied upon.

If Shi Zhongkui didn't know that Jia's family had no money at this time, and he could get 30 yuan a year from Babao wine, even as long as he was willing to sell more wine, 50 silver would not be a problem.

Money is indeed not his pursuit, maybe the Jia family will be eaten up by him.

Of course, Shi Zhongkui didn't want nothing for the Jia family, otherwise he would have ignored their affairs.

To put it bluntly, if they don't take advantage of the connections of the Jia family's generations in the military, it will be squandered by them while they are making money for the prince.

Second, Qian Quanse, the first two kinds of ordinary people like Shi Zhongkui, then only those girls who can't forget if they don't think about it are left.

And at his position, sensuality is the right thing to do.

Not to mention taking a few concubines, it is a dozen or dozens. As long as it is not forcible and plundered, and enjoy the blessing behind closed doors, the outside world will at most say that he is romantic.

However, perhaps Shi Zhongkui himself didn't realize that deep in his heart, unconsciously, he already had a faint heart of disobedience.

Otherwise, I wouldn't want to know so much whether water-soluble has any unreasonable ideas.

Even forcing Shui Rong so much, subconsciously, he thought that Shui Rong would cause trouble.

In the soul of modern people, it can be said that out of 1 million people, at least 99 people have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor.

This is not overthinking one's abilities, but that one's awe of imperial power is not as high as that of the ancients.

Of course, when he was weak, Shi Zhongkui was more cautious and timid than anyone else.

If it weren't for the pressure of merit, and the fact that he would return to the heaven after death, Shi Zhongkui should have really developed a disobedient heart, instead of pressing this kind of thought deep in his heart like he is now, and never made preparations for it .

Jia Zheng patted Shi Zhongkui's hand gratefully, "If Boqian needs it in the future, my Jia family will definitely go all out."

Shi Zhongkui just listened to these words, and when the interests of the Jia family were really threatened, it would be a good conscience for the Jia family to remain neutral.

Besides, I can't do it myself, and if I help others regardless of safety and interests, I don't force others to treat me like that.

His face tightened, and he said righteously, "Second uncle, don't need to say too much, my nephew is the son-in-law of Jia's family, if the Yue family doesn't help, how can I teach my wife's children?
How can I stand on my own in this world? "

"Okay, okay," Jia Zheng's face turned red with excitement, "Bo Qian is a real man, I wish I could exchange precious jade."

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help being amused by him, cooperating with you, an old guy, still wants to be my father.

Then why don't you just send Tanchun to me, naturally you will be the same as Jia Amnesty.
