After coming out of Yu Mansion, Sheng Changquan did not go to Shen Mansion immediately, but turned around and went to the Jiang family courtyard.
"Master, aren't you going to the Shen Mansion? Why are you here, Master?"
Looking at the direction in which the two of them were heading, Xu Changqing scratched his head strangely and asked in confusion.
"Well, I have some things to explain to my cousin."
Regarding Xu Changqing, Sheng Changquan did not hide anything.
After all, the two of them are both prosperous and devastated. Regarding the affairs of Yu Mansion, it can be said directly.
Moreover, there were some things that required his intervention, so Sheng Changquan said, "You were out before, so I don't know. There are some things at Mr. Yu Ge's place that we need to handle."
"ah?"
Xu Changqing was shocked!
"What's going on with Mr. Yu Ge? What's going on?"
Xu Changqing is not a stupid person. He understands that things involving a big shot like Mr. Ge must be very difficult.
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan's eyes were a little mocking, and then he told the story about Yu Ge's old son Yu Zhenghao rather speechlessly.
Xu Changqing was also shocked by this!
"Mr. Yu Ge is so pitiful!"
"If I had a son like this, I would definitely leave him alone!"
Xu Changqing commented harshly: "Let him fend for himself!"
"No, I want to kill him with my own hands! Otherwise, I will disgrace my Xu family!"
"Okay!"
Sheng Changquan shook his head and said noncommittally: "Don't worry about Yu Zhenghaola, we just need to follow Yu Ge's instructions and cover up this matter!"
"It's just a pity that Mr. Yu Ge was so wise throughout his life, and the reputation that Yu Mansion has worked so hard to establish over the years is just gone!"
Sheng Changquan knew in his heart that even if this matter was settled, in the eyes of some people, Yu Mansion's reputation would be over.
After all, once they get involved in this kind of thing, at least the two generations of Yu Zhenghao and his son will be ruined.
"That's right, Master!"
Xu Changqing followed Sheng Changquan towards the West Outer City and asked, "Can we settle this matter?"
"Should... we should go to Shen's Mansion and tell Mr. Shen to ask him to take action?"
Xu Changqing felt that he might have misinterpreted his young master's meaning.
Because according to his understanding, Sheng Changquan's words just now seemed to reveal his intention to solve the matter himself.
"Need not!"
Sheng Changquan still downplayed it.
"We should be able to solve this matter ourselves."
"Ah? Can we...?"
Xu Changqing expressed doubts about this.
"Chang Qing, who do you think designed what happened to Yu Mansion this time?"
Seeing the worry on Xu Changqing's face, Sheng Changquan simply gave him a few words of advice.
"Who? It must be those big shots who want to join the cabinet."
"Well, they are right!"
"But who do you think it could be?"
Without waiting for Xu Changqing's reply, Sheng Changquan continued: "There are only three people who are most certain to join the cabinet this time, Uncle Shen, Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Personnel, and Mr. Li, the imperial censor."
"Among them, Mr. Li has an upright character and will definitely not carry out such conspiracy because it goes against his principles as a human being."
In fact, Sheng Changquan did not say it clearly, that is, the officials already knew about Yu Zhenghao's approval for smuggling.
Because on the day Yu Zhenghao revealed this matter to him, Mr. Yu Ge quickly faced the saint, knelt down to apologize, and stated the matter to the officials.
Mr. Yu Ge knew that the officials were generous by nature, and the two had been monarchs and ministers for many years. In addition, Mr. Yu Ge was about to become an official. Therefore, considering the years of friendship between the two, Mr. Yu Ge was sure that the officials would not go into details. this matter.
The most important thing is that the officials also know that this is a conspiracy against Mr. Yu Ge and a fight between those who want to join the cabinet. Therefore, at this time, as long as no one openly impeaches the matter, he will pretend that he does not know about it.
However, this kind of thing only happens once. If something illegal happens again, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky.
Regarding Li Dongyang's character, Xu Changqing also knew very well, and he nodded in agreement.
"Then it seems that Sun Zhixing did this?"
Sun Zhixing, the Minister of Rites, is the seed candidate to join the cabinet this time. His methods have always been criticized by others. He often does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Sometimes he is even too vicious and hard to look at.
Therefore, he is not highly regarded by the people.
However, the common people here refer to those nerds who are neither good nor bad. They follow what others say, but their influence is not great.
First of all, the ordinary people at the bottom don't care about the affairs of the court at all. Unless it is some scandal and gossip that cannot be recorded in historical records, otherwise, they don't care about it at all.
In addition, it is the wealthy gentry.
However, they stand high, see far, and know more. Therefore, they respect and fear Sun Zhixing. However, since the interests of both parties overlap, they are generally on the same side.
"That's hard to say."
Sheng Changquan just smiled at Xu Changqing's analysis.
"What? Not Mr. Sun?"
Seeing Sheng Changquan's smile, Xu Changqing was suddenly stunned!
"Who is that? Could it be..."
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that Xu Changqing was about to say Shen Shouzheng's name, Sheng Changquan quickly waved his hand, interrupted Xu Changqing directly, and said: "I don't know who did this, but as long as I know it wasn't Master Li! "
"As for the rest, we will know when the time comes!"
"ah?"
Xu Changqing was immediately dissatisfied!
"Master, why do you like to titillate people?"
"Who did this?"
"Just tell me first..."
"Haha, Chang Qing, you can think for yourself!"
Sheng Changquan stopped, reached out and patted Xu Changqing's big head, with a joking look on his face: "As long as you can think of a few correct clues, I will tell you my guess!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After saying that, Sheng Changquan laughed and continued to walk forward happily, ignoring Xu Changqing who had a bitter look on his face.
However, what Master Sheng Changquan didn't know was that at this moment, a similar scene happened in the distant palace.
…
In the magnificent Ouchi Weiyang Palace.
When the tired-looking official finished revising all the memorials on the Long Case, he exhaled softly. He slightly raised his head and glanced at the old man standing beside him, and nodded.
Suddenly.
"You all go down!"
The old angel's voice was just right, not noisy, but just enough for everyone to hear.
"Yes, Eunuch Cui!"
The maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace all bowed immediately, and then slowly but orderly withdrew.
During this period, no sound was made, which was indeed very dignified.
After everyone left, only the official family and Eunuch Cui were left in the palace.
"Official!"
After seeing that no one was around, Cui Eunuch quickly picked up the jade cup that was pulled aside, handed it over carefully, and said with concern: "Guan family, the dragon's body is important. Please drink some tea and rest!"
Because Eunuch Cui is the old man who lives in His Majesty's residence today, even regardless of the status between the two, they are more like a pair of brothers who support each other.
Especially now that His Majesty is still a kindhearted and generous person, so they are extremely cordial in private.
"well!"
The official sighed first, then took the jade cup and took a sip.
"Daban, tell me, the father and son are obviously related by blood, how come there is such a big gap?"
