That afternoon, two pieces of thunderous news exploded in Zhongjing City.
Concubine Shu was punished to spend six months in seclusion, during which time she was not allowed to visit her relatives.
This shocked everyone who was extremely optimistic about Concubine Shu in the battle for the throne.
When Concubine De went to Sishui Prefecture, and as expected she was about to set up special honors and her political reputation skyrocketed, Concubine Shu was placed in solitary confinement.
Amidst this ebb and flow, has the balance of power changed?
Others are talking about the two beloved concubines, Concubine De is away and Concubine Shu is in solitary confinement, won't His Majesty feel lonely?
Immediately afterwards, the second news was even more shocking.
The eldest son of the second eldest son of the Lu family, the third eldest son among the direct descendants, and the highest-ranking governor of Sishui among the younger generation, Shi Lu Fengyuan, was expelled from the family tree by the head of the Lu family, Lu Rusong, the British duke, and the clan elders.
To the people at that time, this was a more terrifying thing than beheading. Those who died were all alone.
But that's what the Lu family did, and the second room, who was supposed to be making noise, kept silent and didn't even fart.
The smarter people guessed that something happened in Sishui Prefecture.
As for the top powers like the Lu family or even higher, they got the news one after another. Suddenly, they were a little more wary of the majesty in the court who seemed to be amassing money and was ignorant and incompetent.
Under the successive impact of the two pieces of news, the news that British Gong Lu Rusong went to the bamboo forest no longer seemed so eye-catching.
Just as Lu Rusong was driving lightly and carrying the gifts to the bamboo forest, a man came to a village outside the city of Zhongjing in the dust of the day and night.
After going through complicated verification procedures, he arrived at a large study room in the backyard.
In the study, there is a large wall with a topographic map of the entire world clearly painted on it.
More than half of them contain detailed and accurate content.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of power the owner of this picture has in this world.
If such a picture was hidden in the house of any court official in the court, he would be immediately labeled as a traitor. However, the man was not surprised at all. He just looked at the back of the man in white with admiration, standing in front of the map with his hands behind his hands, looking at the map in a daze. .
He knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and have not accomplished all the work."
The man in white didn't look back and said calmly: "Jiang Yuhu took action, I can't blame you. Get up."
The man stood with his hands hanging down and echoed: "I didn't expect that he would hide in the back and come to Surabaya Prefecture. We failed to succeed on both lines."
"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Now that Jiang Yuhu is gone, this failure is inevitable. He has an absolute military advantage."
The man said: "If the lord's plan is carried out and the lord gets the opportunity to lead the troops to clear out the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, then he can seize the military power and run Sishui Prefecture for a year and a half, he may not be able to compete with him in terms of military strength! "
"I never fantasize about things that are not destined to happen."
The man in white stretched out a slender white finger and gently slid it across the entire territory of Sishui Prefecture, "It's just that, do you think, if we didn't deliberately guide the Zheng family and his son to adopt our strategy and take that seemingly shortcut, what would we do for them?" We will then lead the troops to clear them up and make preparations, but instead let them gather all the dead soldiers from the county and seize the bandits to start a rebellion. Can it become a prairie fire?"
The man thought for a while and said, "The talents of the Zheng family father and son are limited, especially in military affairs. Their subordinates tried to confuse them a lot, and then they made up their minds to start an uprising. If we follow the Lord's words, they may be able to become a big force at first, gathering tens of thousands or even more troops, but The next 6,000 soldiers will not be able to defend themselves. There is no need to resort to weapons to protect the powerful. If they let the fight go, they will be suppressed quickly. In fact, the situation is not as dangerous as this one."
The man in white nodded slowly, which seemed to confirm his thoughts, "It doesn't matter, they are just two fools with weak minds and weak ambitions. It is a pity that they are gone. I am very happy that you can escape quickly when you see the opportunity."
The man smiled and said: "But it won't be so easy to bring so many fools together. It's a pity that Sishui Prefecture has painstakingly planned this great situation."
"When planning a situation, go with the flow and don't force it. If you force it, you will be impatient, and if you are impatient, you will make mistakes."
The man in white smiled and said, "And you were wrong. There are many fools in the world. It depends on whether you can arouse their inner desires and find out their hidden worries, so that you can play with them."
"Is it like the master playing with concubine Shu?"
"Be careful with your words. Although I don't reject it, I'll wait until the show is successful."
"My lord taught me the right lesson. My lord will surely accomplish great things in the future. Concubines like Virtue and Concubine are all his playthings."
"Hey!" The man in white suddenly sighed and said affectionately: "Speaking of which, in order to protect me, Qingluan actually chose to commit suicide and ordered someone to prepare a pot of wine. I want to sacrifice a few cups to her and repay her husband's kindness for a few days. .”
"Yes! Lord!"
After the man left, the man in white held a small flag in his hand and said to himself, "Then where will this flag land next?"
After looking around on the picture, his eyes lit up, "This is it! The centipede is dead but not stiff, so it's just right to use it again."
——
Since Concubine De left, Xia Jingyun slept in the Su Mansion all day and all night.
After a whole day and night, I managed to pack myself up and follow Su Shidao to the state school.
Li Tianfeng has already established a firm foothold in Zhoucheng. It is naturally not difficult to solve the problem of correcting the position of a small Zhouxue.
But what people didn't expect was that Su Shidao rejected the proposal and continued to be a professor who concentrated on academic studies. Not only did a group of great scholars secretly laugh at him for being pedantic, but it also made many people who still yearned for and admired scholars feel bad about him. His admiration grew.
Although Su Shidao did not take the position of Xuezheng in Shangzhou School, Xia Jingyun's admission procedures were completed smoothly, and no one dared to make any unsightly difficulties.
After all, Zeng Zhou, the proud son of heaven, is still sitting in the prison car on his way to Zhongjing City!
Amid the curious and somewhat fearful eyes, Xia Jingyun walked silently, listening to Su Shidao introducing him to the situation of Zhouxue Middle School.
"Gao Yang!"
An excited and happy voice sounded. Xia Jingyun smiled and turned his head, seeing Xu Dapeng trotting over quickly.
He smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Boyi!"
"Oh, I finally got you here!" Xu Dapeng smiled and held his hand, "Come on, I'll take you to see it!"
Su Shidao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It's just right, I am also happy to have some leisure time. Gao Yang, after reading this, come to the teaching house to find me as your teacher."
"is teacher."
As soon as Su Shidao left, some of the rest of the crowd plucked up the courage to surround him.
Among them was Zeng Jimin, a scholar from Jiang'an County who had met him once.
As for Lin Feibai, the direct grandson of the top scholar, there was no trace, presumably because he was being reserved.
Xia Jingyun was not as arrogant as he imagined. This man who had been called the new No. 1 son of Sishui Prefecture by the good people was approachable, friendly and kind, which made many ordinary students in the prefecture school feel like spring breeze, and he immediately won a good impression.
"Brother Gao Yang, this is our teaching building. We study here on weekdays. We only have outer and inner rooms here. It is said that Taixue has more styles, including outer and inner rooms, and inner rooms. It is divided into the upper house and the lower house.”
There are many kinds of things, all of them are numerous.
"Brother Gao Yang, look, this is our dormitory. It is also divided into an inner dormitory and an outer dormitory."
"Ahem, I might not live in the dormitory anymore."
"Oh~" Everyone cheered meaningfully and enviously.
"I almost forgot. With Brother Gao Yang, there will definitely be no shortage of admirers. Wouldn't it be nice to study at night with red sleeves and fragrant flowers!"
Xia Jingyun smiled and joked: "Which one is happier, reading or red sleeves?"
"It will be happy if we are united!"
Listening to these words of tiger and wolf, Xia Jingyun silently gave a thumbs up. It seems that no matter what era, if a group of young people with strong hormones are locked together, these things will always be in their minds.
After walking around the state school and getting a general idea, Xia Jingyun said goodbye to everyone and went to Su Shidao's place.
It's not that he's stingy and doesn't want to treat guests, but now that autumn is coming, he can't delay everyone's study.
And everyone is actually just curious and making friends. If it really affects their preparation for the exam, I am afraid many people are not willing.
After he left, there were seven or eight young people in the inner room who were obviously better dressed than everyone else. They looked at the direction he left with obvious disdain.
"There's nothing to be proud of about a lucky guy who relies on his own little ability."
"That's right, how can we, who have a well-educated family and have been rich for generations, not be any worse than these guys, a bunch of shortsighted people!"
"That's all, don't worry about what they do, go ahead and drink."
After saying that, a group of people, escorted by several guards, left the state school and found a restaurant to drink and have fun.
Xia Jingyun chatted with Su Shidao for a while, took a few books, and returned to the Su Mansion.
On the broad avenue, there were especially many girls with slippery hands today.
Just what fell in front of Xia Jingyun were sachets, sachets, and sachets.
A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrels.
A handsome gentleman and a lady also want to take action!
Xia Jingyun understood this feeling, but his current strength did not allow it, so he kept walking calmly.
Until a stick holding up the window fell in front of his eyes, and when he looked up and saw a beautiful woman on the second floor looking at him apologetically and shyly, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Erect a stick and run away.
Two days later, the examiner arrived, the Gongyuan was closed and cleaned up, and Qiu Wei's footsteps could really be heard in the ears of all the scholars.
