Chapter 1233: Merits and Demerits
After leaving the teahouse, Li Longchuan got on Yan Fu's luxurious sedan.
The two sat opposite each other and didn't speak for a while.
This sudden confrontation between Zhang Weiyu and Zhong Xuansheng was very fierce.
First, the famous Confucian scholar Feng Ming wrote a magnificent essay "On Merits and Demerits", which was eloquent and eloquent in hundreds of words. His words were gorgeous and his allusions were exquisite. It was spread all over Linzi.
The core issue discussed in this article is whether merits and demerits can be offset.
The debate that started was as fierce as it had ever been in the past ten years, directly matching the momentum when Xu Fang scolded the crown prince.
One side used "On Merits and Demerits" as a motto, while the other side also wrote a heroic essay "What a Hero is to the Country", which turned out to be a spear-throwing one.
The debate was fierce and led to the fate of many figures in both the government and the opposition.
The final established public opinion is that "merits are merits, and faults are faults. When discussing merits, there is no need to take into account past mistakes, and when punishing mistakes, there is no need to take into account previous merits."
So naturally, a fledgling censor reported to the court, asking him to investigate Jiang Qingyang...
This is an all-round political battle. From public opinion to the court, Chong Xuan Sheng, who is passively fighting, and Zhang Weiyu, who is actively attacking, launch attacks and defenses at all levels.
On the one hand, Chong Xuansheng quickly organized a debate to rectify Jiang Wang's reputation. On the other hand, he kept digging into Zhang Weiyu's problems. At the same time, he stirred up noise between the government and the public, questioning the intention of erasing the hero, and almost replaced Jiang Wang in Jiang Wang's absence. Hope to complete the comeback.
Unfortunately, there were too many mud spots on Jiang Wang's body this time. It would be unreasonable not to wash them off. Chong Xuan Sheng's holding method was inherently deficient.
The final result of a thorough investigation of Qingyang Town was also expected by many people.
It is not a crime of war.
In the eyes of the onlookers who watched indifferently, Chongxuan Sheng's political ability and the mobilization of the Chongxuan family's political resources in this confrontation were shocking.
It turned out that unknowingly, the chess piece that was temporarily pulled up to beat Zhong Xuanzun had firmly established its position. His control over the political resources related to the Chongxuan family is already greater than that of Zhongxuanzun!
In other words, within the Chongxuan family, even if Mr. Chongxuan did not express his stance, more people supported Chongxuan Sheng. Even if his opponent is Chongxuan Fenghua.
This situation has actually been known for a long time, but it was only this time that it was seen so clearly.
After Zhongxuansheng dismantled Zhongxuanzun's private business, he had already tied up with many family elders, and his overseas layout had firmly isolated Zhongxuanzun's influence.
After Chongxuanzun came out of seclusion strongly, the biggest chance for a comeback was at the meeting of the Yellow River. He was also very clear-headed. After understanding the situation, he did not do anything extra and only prepared for the Yellow River Meeting. He did his best.
But unfortunately, he met Dou Zhao. The one who won the leadership of the Yellow River was Jiang Wang, who was so good with Zhongxuan that he wore a pair of trousers. All the glory and glory went to Jiang Qingyang.
In the eyes of many people, Zhong Xuansheng's confrontation with Zhang Weiyu this time was not so much to protect Jiang Wang, but rather to show strength. It shows that even if something happens to Jiang Wang, he still has the support of most people in the Chongxuan family.
But in the eyes of friends like Li Longchuan and Yan Fu, what they saw was Jiang Wang's critical situation.
Zhang Weiyu chased Jiang Wang fiercely and kept an eye on Qingyang Town, as if he was very sure that there was something there that could nail Jiang Wang to death.
Outside Qingyang Town, it has been sealed off for a long time.
If there is any problem, it cannot be hidden or transferred.
There are some risks in getting close to Jiang Wang at this time.
They were worried, so they came to drink a cup of tea and see what they could do.
Chong Xuan Sheng spoke very tightly and said nothing. But his calm and confident attitude is already an answer.
"Brother Yan, what do you think about Jiang Wang?" Li Longchuan asked.
Yan smiled and said, "What kind of person is Jiang Wang? You have to ask yourself, not me."
Li Longchuan said: "Of course I know what kind of person he is, but I'm asking about things."
"What Chong Xuan Sheng said is right. Jiang Wang is not in Qi State now, and his image can be dressed up by others. If you really want to know the truth about this matter, you might as well ask him directly in the future." Yan Fu looked at him: "I think He won’t hide it from you.”
Li Longchuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "You are right!"
Yan Fu just smiled.
After a while, Li Longchuan asked again: "Tell me, what is there in Qingyang Town?"
Yan Fu smiled and said, "I think Zhang Weiyu is as concerned about this issue as you are."
"You mean..."
"I was still doubtful before I came here, but now I am very sure. No matter what Zhang Weiyu found out or how accurate the source of the information was, it was all just following Chong Xuan Sheng's wishes." Yan Fu said with admiration: "Even you are like this Worrying, Zhang Weiyu is definitely more confident, but he is destined to not gain anything."
"How can Zhang Weiyu be so easy to deceive?" Li Longchuan frowned and said, "He must have grasped some important clues to invest so much effort."
"This is Chong Xuan Sheng's ability." Yan Fu was really relaxed: "Let's wait and see."
He thought for a while and then asked: "How about a bet?"
Li Longchuan shook his head decisively: "I won't bet with you. It hurts my heart if I lose, but it doesn't matter if you lose. This is not a fair game."
"Hahaha." Yan Fu laughed and suddenly said: "We're here!"
Li Longchuan opened the curtain and was about to come out, but looked at the bustling street and said blankly: "Where are you?"
Yan Fu pointed out his hand very considerately: "Go a few steps forward, turn around the street, and you will not be far from the Chengcheng Hou Mansion."
"Of course I know this is not far from my home... No." Li Longchuan was obviously confused: "I'm going back now?"
His expression clearly asked, "Aren't we going to play for a while?"
"Do you think I was just making up an excuse to end the conversation in the teahouse?"
Yan Fu smiled and said, "Tinglan is really waiting for me!"
Li Longchuan:...
...
...
After Yan Fu and Li Longchuan left, Chong Xuansheng also left the teahouse.
He had something to do today, so he just checked with Yan Fu and Li Longchuan before leaving.
Except for Fourteen, he didn't bring anyone else.
His goal was very clear, to go directly to the Metropolitan Inspection Office.
The search team led by Zhang Weiyu and Ma Xiong was getting ready here.
Ma Xiong, needless to say, was a senior Qingpai.
However, although he was a fourth-rank Qingpai head of the police, he actually had little room to speak in front of Chong Xuansheng. Of course, his supervisory role on Zhang Weiyu was also limited.
Chong Xuansheng certainly couldn't leave such a team to search freely.
Zhang Weiyu was a young man with a strong temperament.
Seeing Chong Xuansheng coming over, he frowned unabashedly: "We are here for official business, it may not be appropriate for Master Chong Xuan to come along."
Chong Xuansheng smiled and said: "How can the house be searched when the owner is not here? If you put something there, where can Jiang Wang go to complain?"
Zhang Weiyu also responded calmly. He had already won a game, which gave him a psychological advantage when facing Chong Xuansheng: "You can call Jiang Wang back to watch. You can contact him, right?"
"I can't." Chong Xuansheng said seriously: "Jiang Qingyang is a hero of the country, but He was framed and hunted down, and now he is not sure whether he is alive or dead. He did not expect that someone would be so cruel and evil to set fire to his backyard again..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows what is going on." Zhang Weiyu interrupted him: "Just tell me what you want to do."
Zhong Xuansheng curled his lips: "Jiang Wang is not here, I represent him with full authority. His responsibilities and obligations are all on my shoulders. So I must be present during this search."
"You represent him?" Zhang Weiyu raised his eyebrows: "You use the Zhongxuan family to guarantee Jiang Wang?"
If this is true, then he really needs to think about it.
The weight of a Zhongxuansheng is not the same as that of the Zhongxuan family.
"The ancestor is still alive, how can I represent the Chongxuan family?"
Chongxuansheng smiled softly, but his expression suddenly became serious: "I will use myself as a guarantor for Jiang Wang."
Zhang Weiyu was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "This is not a joke. There is no need to be a guarantor. If Master Chongxuan wants to follow, then follow him. I am fair in my work and I am not afraid of supervision!"
