Chapter 120 Helpless
1 twenty chapters
Sun Zhong discussed countermeasures at home and wanted to find someone to persuade His Majesty to let his family go.

Sun Zhong knew very well that there was no use in looking for the Queen Mother. If it was useful, those civil servants would not be impeached.

The next day, Lin Cunde was still at home, drawing drawings. He had written the ideological and discipline courses last night. Today, Lin Cunde mainly designed training equipment.

Near noon, Lin Cunde had just completed the design. After putting away the drawings, he went to the tea table to drink tea. The weather was getting warmer now. The temperature during the day was probably above freezing because the snow was beginning to melt.

Just as Lin Cunde was making tea, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Cunde called out to come in.

Lin Cunli opened the door and came in, saying: "Xiaowu, Uncle Zhenshan is here!"

"Please!" Lin Cunde stood up immediately and was about to walk out.

Lin Zhenshan was already at the door of the study, smiling and shouting: "I'm already in!"

"Uncle, come sit here. I haven't seen you for a while!" Lin Cunde greeted Lin Zhenshan with a smile.

"Well, I was out on business a few days ago. No, I just returned to Beijing. I learned that you were attacked, so I came over to take a look!" Lin Zhenshan entered the study, sat down, and said.

Lin Cunde poured tea for Lin Zhenshan.

"Uncle Zhenshan, Xiaowu, you guys are chatting while I go outside. There are things I need to tell the people below to do. It's spring, and the dead branches of those trees need to be repaired!" Lin Cunli said to Lin Zhen. Shan cupped his hands and said.

"Okay!" Lin Zhenshan nodded with a smile.

Lin Cunli went out and closed the door at the same time.

"Drink tea, uncle!" Lin Cunde greeted Lin Zhenshandao with a smile.

"Well, I came here to ask you something. Is it really the Sun family that attacked you?" Lin Zhenshan frowned at this moment and looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

Lin Cunde smiled and said, "Uncle, have you heard the rumors outside?"

"Well, but is it true?" Lin Zhenshan continued to ask.

"Some of the rumors are not groundless, I guess they are, but there is no way to investigate them now!" Lin Cunde smiled and looked at Lin Zhenshan and said. "

"The Sun family is really shameless. Do you know that today, Sun Xianzong, the second eldest son of the Sun family, found me and wanted me to come over as a lobbyist. I hope you can go to His Majesty and help their family intercede. After hearing about their family Now being impeached by many ministers, I guess they are afraid that His Majesty will deal with it. They promised me 2000 taels. If you go and complete this matter, I am willing to give you 3 taels. I can still get 1 taels. How shameless are you?" Lin Zhenshan was sitting there, gritting his teeth and cursing.

"Can they still find you?" Lin Cunde looked at Lin Zhenshan in surprise and asked.

"Well, I have met Sun Xianzong several times. He came to visit my house today, and I was surprised. I don't have a good relationship with him, we just know each other. I guess the Sun family has no way out. Otherwise, you won’t find me!” Lin Zhenshan nodded and said.

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde hummed, thinking about this in his mind, and then asked: "What do they want? Come and listen!"

"Are you really planning to help?" Lin Zhenshan was surprised and looked at Lin Cunde in disbelief.

"I'm just curious. They want to kill me, so why should I help them? I'm not a saint. I can't repay kindness with kindness! It's a pity that I didn't kill them with my own hands!" Lin Cunde said with a smile, how could he help? ?
He and their family are already enemies. If the Empress Dowager Sun hadn't been here this time, their family would all have died. Now, they can't kill him. If he kills him, Zhu Qiyu's throne will be unstable. Those vassal kings will probably die. Will cause chaos, and civil servants will probably take advantage of the situation to cause chaos.

Therefore, I can only endure it now. Although I can't kill them all, I can still kill a few.

"Oh, that's okay. They said that they want to keep Sun Zhong's title of Huichang Bo, and at the same time, no one in their family can be arrested! Those are the two requirements! But it has nothing to do with us. We don't make this money, Sun He is very arrogant. Before, he always looked at people through his nostrils! If Sun Xianzong had not been impeached now, Sun Xianzong would still be able to come to my mansion, but I wouldn’t even be able to invite him!" Lin Zhenshan sat there and said with a sneer.

"Well, we don't care about such matters. You go and reply to them, just say that you are here, and then say that I can't help you. I can't see His Majesty, how can I intercede with them?" Lin Cunde smiled, looked at Lin Zhenshan and said .

"Okay, just reject him like this. By the way, how have you been reading recently? Don't waste it. Now you are not short of money and have time. You should read more. Don't worry about external things. Although you are also a seventh-grade person. But if you don't pass the Jinshi exam, your future will not be guaranteed. You can't keep wandering around, right? Although you and His Majesty are brothers-in-law, it will be difficult for His Majesty to promote you!" Lin Zhenshan began to be concerned. Lin Cunde’s reading matter.

Lin Cunde also answered truthfully, saying that he had been reading at home.

And at the entrance of an alley outside the palace, an unmarked carriage was parked.

The person sitting in the car was Sun Zhong. At this moment, Sun Zhong had been waiting for news about Duke Dingguo's wife. Lady Dingguo went to the palace to intercede with Wang Meilin, but she has not left the palace yet.

Although Sun Zhong was anxious, he had no choice but to wait.

Also anxious with him are the ministers in the cabinet. They are also waiting for Zhu Qiyu's approval. At least how to deal with this matter, will there be a result?He was the one who insisted on dealing with Sun Hongyuan in the court before. Now, the impeachment memorials have been sent up, but Zhu Qiyu has made no move. '

Now those ministers are also guessing, what is going on with Zhu Qiyu?Do you want to let the Sun family go?But they didn't know that Zhu Qiyu was waiting for Zhu Ji. If Zhu Ji didn't come back, the Sun family would not move now, otherwise it would easily cause misunderstandings among other ministers.

It was approaching lunch time, and Mrs. Dingguo came out. In fact, she regretted it at the moment. Logically speaking, when the noble ladies went to pay homage to the queen, the queen would leave a meal, but for her first visit, she did not leave a meal, but she was rewarded. something.

The reason why the queen did not leave any food was because she was not feeling well, so as not to worry Duke Dingguo's wife during the meal.

But Mrs. Ding Guogong knew in her heart that Queen Wang was very dissatisfied when she mentioned the Sun family, but she did not get angry because of her reputation as the Duke's wife.

Therefore, after leaving the palace, Mrs. Dingguo sent someone to find Sun Zhong's carriage, just two words, no!
When Sun Zhong heard these two words, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

After a while, he sighed and said: "Go back home!"

He needs to go back to his hometown to make arrangements for his future. No matter what, the family needs to prepare for the worst and preserve the bloodline.

In the palace, Zhu Qiyu finished busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty and took a walk to Kunning Palace. Now Zhu Qiyu likes to come to Kunning Palace. Wang Meilin never interferes with the affairs of the previous dynasty and does not ask about them. As for the affairs of the harem, Wang Meilin also Hui will talk to Zhu Qiyu and let Zhu Qiyu know what he is doing.

At noon, the two had dinner together. After the meal, Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin went to the study room of Kunning Palace.

Wang Meilin was leaning on the soft chair, and Zhu Qiyu was sitting next to him drinking tea.

Wang Meilin looked at Zhu Qiyu and said: "Today, Duke Dingguo's wife came to the harem to visit my concubine. I thought she was doing it for her own reasons. I thought that since Duke Dingguo has not yet sealed her title, she might be here to communicate with her. I didn't expect , she came to plead for the Sun family, and she also said inexplicably that she hoped to retain the title of Uncle Huichang and save the face of the Queen Mother!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu also looked at Wang Meilin in surprise.

"I didn't agree. The harem will not interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty. Tell her that if something happens, you can ask Uncle Huichang to go to His Majesty directly. There is no point in looking for my concubine!" Wang Meilin continued.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, smiled, said nothing, and continued drinking tea.

Although Wang Meilin had doubts in his mind, he thought that His Majesty was also taking action against the Sun family, but why he did it and to what extent, Zhu Qiyu didn't say. Since Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

"Mrs. Dingguo, you are so ignorant! Originally, I should have kept a meal, but thinking that she was here to ask for mercy, I didn't stay. I asked the warehouse to select some things and give them to her, so I She said she was feeling unwell!" Wang Meilin continued.

"Well, don't get involved in the Sun family's affairs. I will handle this matter!" Zhu Qiyu said to Wang Meilin.

"I know that I will not get involved. If they didn't want to assassinate Cunde, I would not care about such things. I have to be careful about the affairs of the harem. I should be careful about the affairs of the previous dynasty. But I don’t have the heart, let alone the strength!” Wang Meilin said with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, continued to sit here for a while, and then went to Qianqing Palace to process the memorial.

Zhu Qiyu was very slow in processing the memorials. He considered many comments many times before writing them. He was very cautious in dealing with state affairs, and now he also likes to ponder the things behind the memorials.

It's not like I didn't understand anything at the beginning and listened to the opinions of the cabinet and the Sixth Section, but I have a lot more thoughts.

Among those in the Sixth Division, the rank is not high, only the Seventh Rank, but has great power.

After Zhu Qiyu returned to Qianqing Palace, he originally wanted to read the memorial quietly for a while. At this time, Cheng Jing came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Chen Shoufu, the chief minister of the cabinet, wants to see you!"

"Oh, come on, please!" Zhu Qiyu was very surprised when he heard that it was Chen Xun who came to see him, but he still showed enough enthusiasm and attention. '

Soon, Cheng Jing took Chen Xun into the imperial study.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and greeted Chen Xundao with a smile: "But what's important? Come on, please sit down, Cheng Jing, bring over some high-quality snacks!"

"Yes!" Cheng Jing immediately went out with a smile.

"Come, drink tea!" Zhu Qiyu sat down and poured tea for Chen Xun. Chen Xun immediately stood up and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Chen Ge, there is no need to get up now. You don't know the etiquette of knocking on the tea table to express gratitude, right?" Zhu Qiyu asked quickly with a smile.

"I know, but I still have to express my gratitude for the first cup of tea!" Chen Xun said with a smile.

"Okay, come, let's sit and chat!" Zhu Qiyu didn't think much, but he was wondering why Chen Xun was here at this time.

What he didn't know was that the cabinet was worried that Zhu Qiyu wouldn't understand the deep meaning behind those memorials, so they specially asked Chen Xun to come over and test it out.
