At the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion, Gongsun Jing, who had just received an early reply, was waiting at the door early.
He has a lot of things under his control. At this juncture, the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion also needs someone to take charge and maintain contact with the palace. Xia Jingyun is well aware of this and will not blame him for being stingy.
Everyone entered the room together, actually placed some wine and delicacies on the table, and warmed a pot of wine.
Gongsun Jing personally poured wine for everyone and suggested: "This glass will calm the master's shock and celebrate the master's escape from danger."
Everyone drank together and put down their glasses. Gongsun Jing said sincerely: "Sir, you must not act so recklessly in the future. It was thanks to the empress that I saved you and escaped in a narrow escape. However, this kind of affection will always be exhausted. There have been too many times. It will also damage the empress’s status in His Majesty’s heart.”
He sighed and looked at Xia Jingyun like an elder who was used to seeing things in the world, "Master, I don't mean to blame you! But the water in Zhongjing City is very deep, and the people in Zhongjing City are also very treacherous. , it’s not like your style in Sishui Prefecture, you’d better change it!”
After tonight, he felt that his momentum had returned a bit when facing Xia Jingyun.
Xia Jingyun smiled but said nothing.
But after all, Su Yuanshang had been the chief official of a county, and he had outstanding abilities and a clear understanding of world affairs. He knew that if Xia Jingyun's absolute authority was not established as soon as possible and he continued to command two sects, it would be easy to do bad things at such a critical moment.
So he said: "Gao Yang, we are all our own people here. I think you'd better make it clear to everyone and don't make everyone worry too much."
Baiyunbian:? ? ?
Come on, why have I become one of your own?
But before he could make any move, Xia Jingyun, who had woken up after being reminded by Su Yuanshang, had already spoken.
"Everyone, in fact, I deliberately provoked this conflict tonight, and I also deliberately made things worse."
He had always thought that Xia Jingyun was young and energetic, and did not understand the principle of a good man not taking advantage of the situation, so that Gongsun Jing, who was taught how to be a good man by the Lu family's son, was stunned, "Why?"
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "I dare to ask you, can the conflicts between us, Concubine Shu and the Lu family be reconciled?"
After he finished speaking, he added, "Contradiction is what I read in an ancient book. It roughly means conflicts, disputes, problems, etc. between the two parties."
Wang Ruoshui shook his head, "This is naturally impossible. Whether it is the harem or the outer court, there is only one winner, and the loser gets nothing."
"In this case, when the conflict between the two parties is irreconcilable, what is the best way? It is not to swallow your breath and seek peace, nor to bluff and try to overwhelm the other party, but to intensify the conflict, so that the rights and wrongs will be more conspicuous. Make it known to the world.”
Gongsun Jing felt that these remarks were too offensive to his inherent concepts, and he frowned and thought about the problem in Xia Jingyun's words.
Wang Ruoshui asked again: "But in this case, when Mr. Qin came to mediate, why did you do it?"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered the three questions Xia Jingyun asked at that time, and he suddenly came to his senses. Xia Jingyun also nodded and said: "Young Master Qin has good prestige among the younger generation, but he is still not good enough to play this role. He can. Only Your Majesty can do this."
"But how can you guarantee that His Majesty is on our side and not on the side of the British government? The British government has a great cause and its forces are intertwined. There is nothing we can do to defeat it!"
After thinking for a long time, Gongsun Jing finally thought of the problem and asked the point of view that was in line with his usual thinking.
Xia Jingyun smiled and glanced at this qualified admirer, "This is the real key. Any power is naturally inclined to absolute respect. They will not allow anyone who can threaten their power to exist. The British public tree has deep roots. This is Their advantage is also their disadvantage that makes His Majesty jealous. As long as we make things bigger under reasonable circumstances and give His Majesty a reasonable opportunity to cut the flesh and blood of the British public, Your Majesty will not miss it. And this is where we are. Opportunities for disadvantaged people.”
Gongsun Jing and Wang Ruoshui looked at each other, and then Gongsun Jing hesitated and said, "Isn't this a little too risky?"
Su Yuanshang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "If Mr. Gongsun could manage his power better in recent years, there would be no need to take such risks."
Gongsun Jing's face instantly turned red, and Xia Jingyun tacitly agreed with Su Yuanshang, one red and one white, and they sang and smoothed things over with a smile, "We are at a huge disadvantage, so we can only take the wrong approach, but fortunately we won. After winning, It’s time to think about dividing the meat.”
He smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, the British Duke should have entered the palace tonight. I would like to ask Mr. Gongsun to check this. As long as it is confirmed that he has entered the palace, we will pay attention to the court to see what personnel changes there are. Now that we know what meat is cut off from the British male body, we will try to fight for it and see if we can get a share of the pie. I believe His Majesty will consider it."
"Beyond this, there is a location, and we can plan the layout now."
Wang Ruoshui asked curiously: "Where is it?"
Gongsun Jingye still had some ability, and he thought, "Could this be the position of the captain of Jingzhao Mansion?"
Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, "This is the person who arrested me directly. Isn't it appropriate that this position is not given to us?"
"The Captain of the Jingzhao Prefecture is in charge of public security in the Gyeongsang region. Although he is easily influenced by others and can easily get into trouble, if he has a capable person, it can also be of great benefit to make friends with all parties and improve his reputation!"
Gongsun Jing analyzed with excitement, and his expression was a bit excited, and then he said with a bit of worry: "Master Xia, can it really be done?"
Su Yuanshang smiled half-heartedly, "Mr. Gongsun, don't you think the young master should change his behavior now?"
Gongsun Jinglao's face turned red, "Young Master Xia is extremely wise. There is no need to change it. There is no need to change it."
Xia Jingyun smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Gongsun said something serious. Let's not mention that. Let's think about the choice."
He picked up the cup and clinked it with everyone, "I'm going to take a bath and go to bed early. Please give me a name, Mr. Su, before entering the palace tomorrow morning."
Su Yuanshang nodded, and then watched Xia Jingyun leave with everyone.
The handover of the scepter has been completed quietly, without any suspense.
After a good night's sleep, Shi Zijun got up from the bed and felt the vitality of a young man.
Looking at the maid who came to help him wash and change clothes, he suddenly felt that her figure became more graceful, and her every smile was so moving.
However, the etiquette in the family is very important, so I still can't mess around now. Time is already running out, and I will be punished if I miss the meal.
However, when a faint fragrance came from the tip of his nose, he couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to hug the maid who was already familiar with her.
After some fuss, he put on his clothes and went to the dining room.
Go there and take a look, hey! Not late yet!
Just when Shi Zijun was feeling proud, Shi Dingzhong, the Minister of Rites, walked over at a square pace.
"Father!"
"Looking at the spring breeze still on your face, it seems that the result last night really satisfied you."
Shi Zijun's smile was a little embarrassed, and he flattered his father to change the subject, "Thanks to my father's clever calculation, when I saw Xia Jingyun being kidnapped and taken away by Wuhuada, most of the depression in the child's heart disappeared instantly."
Shi Dingzhong also felt a little bit proud. Who doesn't want to be an omnipotent hero in the hearts of his children? He immediately twirled his beard and smiled, "It doesn't matter, the remaining points will be used for the poetry meeting of the Ministry of Rites in two days." Father invites several great scholars to come out and criticize them from what they are best at, and you will be able to understand your ideas. But my son, after this matter is over, you should calm down, study knowledge, gain insight into the world, return to the right path, and no longer be limited to These feelings are useless."
Shi Zijun couldn't help but feel lucky. With such an enlightened father, he was much happier than the others. "My child knows, thank you father for your enlightenment."
"Okay. Sit down and eat."
"Eh!"
The two father and son sat down at the table. As soon as they picked up their chopsticks, there was a noise in their ears.
"Mr. British, please wait a moment, Rong Xiao goes to report it!"
"go away!"
Shi Dingzhong raised his head in displeasure at first, saw the face of the visitor clearly, his expression changed instantly, and he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"The British Duke is here. What a humble house."
Before he could finish his words, British Duke Lu Rusong interrupted him directly and said angrily, "Shi Dingzhong! You have tricked me! I have no sworn relationship with you!"
Sneak attack!
