Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 491 I Hurt Him
"What?"

Zhang Luan was confused again.

"My son, why is it that I am becoming less and less able to understand what you are saying? Wan'an came to me to ask for help and gave me such a good thing, but I gave him nothing in return... What important thing did you say I helped him accomplish? You'd better explain yourself clearly!" Zhang Luan was actually getting serious.

Zhang Yanling wanted to laugh at his father, but seeing that Zhang Luan was getting angry, he patiently explained: "He came to our house just to see your attitude towards this thing. Your reaction fully shows that you appreciate it very much and even care about it. In this way, he will have a clear idea in mind and can continue to complete his next grand plan.

"If I allow you to add content to it... then is this book written by him, or is it compiled by you two together? Our Lord Wan wants to become famous with this thing, and you just added some content to it and want to share his credit?"

Zhang Luan was so confused after hearing that that he was stunned for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Son, I'm not being pretentious, it's just that what you said... is too profound!

"I just can't figure it out. Didn't Lord Wan just write a secret book on sex to teach an honest person like me who is like a lost lamb when it comes to sex? How can this be considered a great achievement? And what grand plan are you talking about... What on earth are you talking about?"

Zhang Yanling smiled mysteriously and said, "Dad, do you believe that in two days, he will send this thing to the palace and present it to His Majesty?"

"what!?"

Zhang Luan was shocked.

"He...you mean...Wan'an wants to give this letter to His Majesty?"

Zhang Luan was dumbfounded and asked, "He... Is Wan'an crazy?"

"He's not crazy. In other words, his crazy behavior is entirely due to his inner paranoia. In the eyes of a person with a cognitive bias towards the world, everyone's preferences should be consistent with his...

"Just like Wan An himself was keen on the art of sex, the late emperor also greatly appreciated his knowledge in this area and often discussed it with him. He thought that now your majesty would also be very keen on the art of sex, and become the same type of person as him, or even regard him as a close friend."

Zhang Yanling explained the current situation.

Wan'an intended to use this book, which contained the essence of the art of sex, as a draft to write a "brilliant" memorial to Zhu Youtang, in order to show the new emperor his profound knowledge in this area and try to win the emperor's favor through this "radical" method.

If the emperor could invite him to the palace to exchange experiences like the last emperor did, that would be great! Look, I've talked to the emperor about such a private topic, so we must be close friends, right?
At the very least, we are still friends regardless of age difference!

In this case, would Your Majesty still have the nerve to dismiss me from my post?

Isn't my position in the court completely secure?
"Ah! This..."

Zhang Luan looked very embarrassed, and he stammered, "This thing, I like it very much, but it is... Oh, I don't know how to put it...

"Your brother-in-law is an upright person who always behaves in a proper manner. Wouldn't he be furious when he sees this? How can Wan'an get away with this?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Dad, you are really good. You can see things that Wan'an can't understand at a glance... Wan'an is far inferior to you!"

"Bah, are you praising my father or insulting him? This is just some basic social etiquette, everyone knows a little bit about it. I don't believe Wan An really can't understand it? He has been an official for more than 40 years, how could he really do such a stupid thing?"

Zhang Luan suddenly thought of something, his face filled with fear, and he cried out, "Son, you said in front of His Majesty before that you would wait for Wan'an to make a mistake, and then take him down. Could it be that you were referring to this incident? Could it be that... you had already predicted what would happen? You... you..."

Only at this moment did Zhang Luan truly feel how unfathomable his son was.

It was predicted many days in advance that Wan'an would jump out and run into the gun barrel. How high a level of attainment must one have in the "art of prophecy" to be able to accurately control the future?

The key is that this is not the secret of heaven, but the human heart. You must know that the human heart is fickle, and since ancient times, few people can see through the human heart...but it seems that my son has done it.

Zhang Yanling said: "I was not sure whether he would do this before, but now it seems that with your affirmation of his thing, he will definitely rush forward without hesitation!

"Dad, your reaction today...haha, you can say that you have caused Wan'an great harm. Of course, this is a good thing for Ming Dynasty, a very good thing, because this useless civil servant leader is finally going to leave!"

"This……"

Zhang Luan felt so regretful after listening to this!

Zhang Luan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He struggled to stand up from the couch, walked out of the inner room with a cane, and paced back and forth in front of Zhang Yanling. He seemed to be too embarrassed to face anyone, and kept muttering, "Master Wan treated me with sincerity, but I made him suffer! This...this...how can I...how can I bear this? I..."

"Okay."

Zhang Yanling narrowed his eyes and said, "Wan'an just gave you this thing, and you regard him as your soulmate? If you really feel sorry for him, at worst, you can invite him to your house for a drink and chat, or even take him to your other house in the city or outside the city to study what he wrote together... Practice makes perfect!"

Zhang Luan was stunned when he heard this. He stopped and thought for a long time before shaking his head violently: "No, no! How can I degenerate and associate with someone with such a bad reputation and be despised by the world?"

Zhang Luan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, Dad, you can clearly distinguish the pros and cons!"

"nonsense!"

Zhang Luan had a righteous expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "I finally came to my senses... Wan'an came to visit me to test me. He didn't give me things to please me or to establish a relationship with me. He was just trying to use me to find out what Your Majesty likes...

"Hey, Wan'an is so cunning, no wonder everyone in the court scolds him."

"..."

Now it was Zhang Yanling's turn to be speechless.

I wondered who had just treated Wan'an as a close friend, and even harmed Wan'an to the point of wanting to die?
How come you suddenly "let it go"?
What a change in your attitude!

Zhang Luan looked at his youngest son and said in a friendly manner, "Okay, my son, there is nothing for you to do here. Since you said that we don't need to write anything for Wan'an, then let's not write anything. He studies his and I study mine... Wow, this is really good stuff!"

Zhang Yanling said, "Dad, can't you wait a few days before researching? You can't move these days... Will it make your internal heat too strong and not conducive to recuperation?"

"roll!"

Zhang Luan cursed, "You are so young, but you still don't learn well. How come you understand everything I tell you? Where the hell did you learn these evil ways?

"Even if I can't go out, don't I still have your mother and your aunt at home? At worst, there are so many maids to make up for it, ahem..."

Perhaps realizing that it was a bit disrespectful to say these words in front of his son, he quickly coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Dad, as long as you are happy... I shouldn't say much to see you enjoying your old age, but... you have to be restrained. Just because you are so eager in front of others, sometimes others will help you, but more often they will hurt you."

Zhang Luan waved his hand: "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I am an upright person. Don't expect me to pretend or cover up. Go away quickly and don't disturb me from studying hard!"
