Chapter 86 The Truth (Silver League Addition Part [-])

In the afternoon of that day, two successive thunderous news blasted the city of Zhongjing.

Concubine Shu was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for half a year, during which time relatives were not allowed to visit her.

This shocked everyone who was extremely optimistic about Concubine Shu in the battle for succession.

Concubine Shu was imprisoned at the moment when Concubine De went to Sishui Prefecture, where she was about to win great honors and her political prestige skyrocketed.

Under the ebb and flow, has this balance of power changed?
There are also some people who are fond of talking about the two favorite concubines, Concubine De is not here, Concubine Shu is in confinement, won't His Majesty feel lonely?

Immediately afterwards, the second news was even more shocking.

The eldest son of the second house of the Lu family, the third eldest son of the direct line, and the highest official position among the younger generation, Shi Lu Fengyuan, governor of Surabaya, was expelled from the family tree by Lu Rusong, the head of the Lu family and the successor to the Duke of England, and the clan elders.

For the people at that time, this was a more terrifying thing than beheading. After death, they would all be lonely ghosts.

But that's what the Lu family did, and the second room, who was supposed to come out to make a fuss, muffled his voice and didn't fart.

The smarter ones guessed that something happened in Sishui prefecture.

As for the real top powers like the Lu family or even higher, they got the news one after another, and after suddenly being stunned, they became a little more jealous of the seemingly fatuous and incompetent majesty in the court.

Under the impact of the two news one after another, the news that the British Duke Lu Rusong was going to the bamboo forest was not so eye-catching.

Just as Lu Rusong drove lightly and headed for the bamboo grove with a present in hand, a man came to a Zhuangzi outside the Zhongjing City in a busy day and night.

After going through complicated verification procedures, he came to a large study in the backyard.

In the study room, there is a large wall with a topographic map of the whole world impressively drawn on the wall.

Among them, more than half of the places have detailed and accurate content.

It is hard to imagine what kind of strength the owner of this picture possesses in this world.

With such a picture, any courtier in the court who hides it in his house will be immediately designated as a traitor, but the man is not surprised at all, he just looks admiringly at the back of the white-clothed man standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, staring at the map in a daze.

He knelt down on one knee, "My lord, this subordinate is incompetent and has not completed all his achievements."

The man in white didn't look back, and said calmly: "Jiang Yuhu made a move, no wonder you. Get up."

The man stood with his hands down, and echoed, "I didn't expect him to hide in the back and come to Sishui Prefecture. We failed to succeed on both lines."

"It's up to people to plan, but it's up to God to succeed. Since Jiang Yuhu has gone, failure this time is inevitable. He has an absolute advantage in military strength."

The man said: "If the lord's plan can be carried out, let the lord get the opportunity to lead the army to clear the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, so as to hold the military power and manage Sishui Prefecture for a year and a half, it may not be possible to break the arm with him in terms of military strength!"

"I never fantasize about things that are destined not to happen."

The man in white stretched out a slender white finger, and gently slid 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, take that seemingly shortcut, and prepare for us to lead the army to clear up the army next time, but directly let them kill the county soldiers and ensnare the bandits to start a prairie fire?"

The man thought for a while, "The Zheng family's talents are limited, especially when it comes to military affairs, the subordinates have been bewitched more before they made up their minds to revolt. If you follow my lord's words, you may be able to gather more than [-] troops in the beginning, but the next [-] soldiers will not need to be wary in order to protect the powerful. If you let go of the fight, you will be able to suppress them quickly. In fact, there is no danger in this situation."

The white-clothed man nodded slowly, as if confirming his thoughts, "It's okay, these two fools are just fools with great ambitions and little talents. If they are gone, they will be gone. It's not a pity. I'm very relieved that you can escape as soon as you see the opportunity."

The man smiled and said, "However, it's not so easy to gather so many fools together. It's a pity that Sishui Prefecture has planned such a great situation."

"As for planning, follow the trend. 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 you are wrong. There are a lot of idiots in the world. It depends on whether you can arouse their inner desires and pinpoint their deep-seated worries, and you can play them in your hands."

"Is it like the lord playing with concubine Shu?"

"Be careful with the words. Although I don't reject it, let's wait until the play is successful."

"My lord has learned the lesson well. In the future, my lord will surely achieve great things. Concubine De and Concubine Shu are all my lord's playthings."

"Hey!" The man in white suddenly sighed, and said affectionately: "Speaking of which, in order to protect me, Qingluan chose to commit suicide and ordered someone to prepare a jug of wine. I will offer her a few cups from a distance, and repay her a few days of husband and wife's kindness."

"Yes! Lord!"

After the man left, the man in white held a small flag in his hands and said to himself, "Then where will this one fall next?"

Looking around on the picture, his eyes lit up, "Just here! The centipede is dead but not stiff, just right for another use."
-
Ever since Concubine De left, Xia Jingyun slept in the Su residence for a day and a night.

After a whole day and night, I finally packed up and followed Su Shidao to the state school.

Li Tianfeng had already gained a firm foothold in Zhoucheng, so it was naturally not difficult to solve a small Zhouxue school.

But what people didn't expect was that Su Shidao rejected the proposal, and he was still just a professor who devoted himself to academic research. While making a group of great scholars laugh at him as pedantic, it also made many people who still yearn for and admire scholars admire him more and more.

Although Su Shidao did not take the position of Xuezheng in Shangzhou School, Xia Jingyun's admission procedures were completed smoothly all the way, and no one dared to make any unsightly troubles.

After all, the once proud son of the state school is still sitting in the prison car on his way to Zhongjing City!
With curious and somewhat fearful eyes, Xia Jingyun walked silently, listening to Su Shidao introduce the situation of the state school to him.

"Gao Yang!"

An excited and happy voice sounded, Xia Jingyun turned his head with a smile, and saw Xu Dapeng trotting towards him.

He smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Boyi!"

"Oh, I'm finally looking forward to you!" Xu Dapeng smiled and held his hand, "Go, I'll take you to see it!"

Master Su said with a twisted beard and said with a smile: "It's just right, the old man is also happy to have a leisurely time. Gao Yang, after reading it, come to the teaching dormitory to find a teacher."

"is teacher."

As soon as Su Shidao left, some of the rest of the crowd braved up and surrounded him.

Among them was Zeng Jimin, a scholar in Jiang'an County who had met once.

As for Lin Feibai, the grandson of the top Confucianist, he was nowhere to be seen, presumably he had his own reserve.

Xia Jingyun didn't have the arrogance as he imagined. This person who has been dubbed the new No. [-] son of Sishui Prefecture by good people, is approachable, kind and kind, which makes many ordinary students in the state school feel like a spring breeze, and immediately wins a good impression.

"Brother Gao Yang, this is our dormitory. We study here on weekdays. We only have outer dormitories and inner dormitories here. It is said that Taixue has more styles. There are outer dormitories and inner dormitories. The inner dormitories are divided into upper dormitories and lower dormitories."

There are many patterns, all many.
"Brother Gao Yang, look, this is our dormitory, which is also divided into inner dormitory and outer dormitory."

"Ahem, I might not live in the dormitory."

"Oh~" Everyone coaxed meaningfully and full of envy.

"I almost forgot, Brother Gao Yang is like this, there must be no shortage of admirers, wouldn't it be fun for Hongxiu Tianxiang to study at night!"

Xia Jingyun joked with a smile: "Then is it fun to study or red sleeves?"

"It's fun to be united!"

Hearing the words of tigers and wolves, Xia Jingyun silently gave a thumbs up. It seems that no matter what age, when 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 bid farewell to everyone and went to Su Shidao's place.

It's not that he is stingy and unwilling to treat guests, but that now that Qiu Wei is approaching, he doesn't want to delay everyone's study.

And the crowd is actually just a curiosity and friendship. If it really wants to affect their preparation for the exam, I am afraid that many people are not willing.

After he left, in the inner house, seven or eight young men in well-dressed clothes who were obviously taller than everyone else looked at the direction he was leaving with obvious disdain.

"What is there to be arrogant about a lucky guy who relies on his own poor skills?"

"That's right, my family has a long history of education, generations of rich people, how can we not be inferior to this kind of goods, a group of people with eyes but no eyes!"

"Forget it, why don't you take care of them, go drink."

After finishing speaking, a group of people, escorted by a few helpers and 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 Su's residence.

On the wide avenue, there are especially many girls with hands slippery today.

Just what fell in front of Xia Jingyun included sachets, sachets, and sachets.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

A handsome gentleman and a lady also want to do it!

Xia Jingyun understands this feeling, but his current strength does not allow him, so he has been walking calmly.

Until a stick supporting the window fell in front of his eyes, and when he looked up, a beautiful woman on the second floor looked at him apologetically and shyly, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Stand up and run away.

Two days later, the chief examiner arrived, and the Gong Yuan was closed and ready for cleaning, and Qiu Wei's footsteps sounded vividly in the ears of all the scholars.
