Chapter 517: Backlord? Haraki! Rethink

"Okay, I'm not interested in messing around with you guys, I know that you are the Su Mingzhang who should have been exiled. The lord asked me to tell you that when you go to see the person you want to meet, you must have the consciousness to put your own life in it. , keeping yourselves safe may save your life. Don't deny your true identity, it's annoying."

The words have already been said so bluntly, Su Mingzhang is not stupid, and his body is stiff, but people like them have always been suspicious by nature, and even if they already have the answer in their hearts, they still want to make a final confirmation and struggle to the death. , "Who is the prince you're talking about?"

He Shihai clicked his tongue and seemed rather speechless, "So, what I hate the most is you literati, you talk around corners, and you are not at all straightforward. When it comes to the end, the matter is obvious, and I still can't readily admit it in my heart. , grinding, chirping, endless."

Su Mingzhang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, why didn't he also hate people like He Shihai in his heart? However, he does already have the answer in his heart, isn't he happy? Looking at He Shihai wouldn't give him any pleasure, so he didn't continue to dwell on this issue. However, there were still some things that he had to ask clearly. In fact, he didn't take his own life and death so seriously. When Jin Chan escaped from the shell, he couldn't guarantee 100% that he would not be discovered, but he didn't want to take the whole family with him because of himself. "What about my family? What does the lord plan to do with it."

"You're the only one who is capable of the Su family. What do you think the prince will do with the rest of the waste?" He Shihai felt that asking such a question would simply degrade the prince's style. Can you keep an eye on it?

Su Mingzhang understood it, but it was a matter of the whole family. He couldn't make a hasty decision when he couldn't get an accurate answer. He used to be a veteran of writing words. After saying it, I was dismissed, so I had to be solemn. "I want a clear answer."

He Shihai looked at the other party with a hint of an idiot, "Su Mingzhang, the young master originally thought you were a smart person, but now it's just like that. What's your position to ask this?"

In an instant, Su Mingzhang's face was pale, indeed, now people are swordsmen, he is fish, and to a certain extent, he doesn't even have the capital to fight to death.

He Shihai waved his hand, "Young Master won't tell you any more, let's go first, you can figure it out for yourself, anyway, your life is in your own hands, how you do it is entirely up to you. Maybe you can try to challenge it, quietly Act and see if you will let the prince know, but if you really do it, you probably won't have a second chance. My lord, I really expect you to make a slightly different choice." He Shihai finally gave the other party A rather arrogant smile.

"Isn't the He family always pretending to be pure ministers, what is this, General He?" Su Mingzhang felt resentment in his heart.

To say that He Shihai was ruthlessly trained by Li Hongyuan, but he did not encounter the great changes in his family. Therefore, he is still a shy person in essence, and he does not like the twists and turns of literati, but it does not mean that he does not understand at all. "Tsk, the young master is the young master, what does it have to do with the He family." He wouldn't hand over the handle easily.

Su Mingzhang stood in the same place and didn't move for a long time. His mind was in chaos now and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Yo, this isn't Su... by the way, what's up with Su?" a frivolous and disdainful voice.

There were various levels of laughter on the side.

Because of them, Su Mingzhang suddenly returned to his senses, and the confusion in his mind seemed to disappear in an instant. He looked back at these people who had never forgotten to target him for the past two or three days. They were obviously a group of big men. It is even more disgusting than some bitter and mean-spirited women. There is a saying that only women and villains are difficult to raise. These people are not even better than the two, but they are all different in the army. The generals of the class are really ugly.

Don't you say that men in the army are open-minded, forthright by nature, informal and upright? Su Mingzhang really didn't see many such people, or maybe he was unlucky, and all the people he met were villains. After all, how could a real man act like this.

The eyes of Shang Su Mingzhang are all silent, the eyes are cruel, like ice slag, and the heart is cold, which makes people dread.

Speaking of which, Su Mingzhang used to be the minister of the household. He was in a high position, and there were not many people who could have a higher official position than him. He was also a real high-ranking person. He accumulated prestige all the year round. Man, at this moment, Su Mingzhang obviously did not restrain himself.

Su Mingzhang turned around and left, there were some things he needed to think about.

When Su Mingzhang left, the talented people just now gradually regained their senses. When they realized that they were actually frightened by the other party's look, they turned into anger and sullenness, "Bah, what, I really thought that General He was looking for him, just Climbing to the He family?" The He family is a pure minister, so how could he show affection to generals other than the Northeast Army. I swear secretly in my heart that I must find a chance to find my way back, otherwise my face will be put to rest.

Su Mingzhang acted quickly this time, it only took less than one night, many things had already been figured out, and he had figured out his way forward.

Once the matter is successful, it should not be more miserable than it is now, not to mention the further progress, and his family does not talk about wealth and glory, at least they can be safe and happy, and his son may have the opportunity to get up again in the future and restore the Su family. honor.

Su Mingzhang approached Prince Jin relatively obscurely. Compared with the meticulous and detailed plan he had planned to go to Prince Rui before, his actions this time were not very thoughtful and seemed a bit random. To a certain extent, this was another Is it not his "test" for the "new master", of course, this idea is actually a joke in essence.

Su Mingzhang was ready to eat behind closed doors, but once again, beyond his expectations, Prince Jin met him almost immediately after being reported to him.

Su Mingzhang had a strange feeling in his heart again. He doubted whether his guess was wrong. Maybe Prince Jin was not as good as he imagined, and there were not so many people under him. He calculated himself from the beginning. , perhaps just to bring himself under his command, rather than to abolish a useful piece of the opponent?

However, after seeing Prince Jin, such thoughts were completely dispelled.

Su Mingzhang met a prince Jin who was completely different from his impression. He was not hostile, self-respecting, arrogant, contemptuous of all beings, cold and arrogant, and arrogant. Some were just wise pearls in their hands, strategizing and seeing through everything. Or things, in his eyes, there seems to be no secret. This kind of feeling is more fearful than the complete emotional exposure and pure cruelty.

Su Mingzhang was shocked on the spot, unable to return to his senses for a long time, there was only one thought left in his heart: This is the real Prince Jin!

Li Hongyuan withdrew his gaze and continued to slowly turn over the letters in his hand, "What do you mean when you come to see this king?"

"I want to do my best for the lord."

"Why, are you ready to back the master?" Li Hongyuan's tone remained unchanged, as cold as Baishui.

Su Mingzhang only felt a rush of cold air, rushing up from the soles of his feet, and fine cold sweat oozes out on his forehead. This question is not easy to answer, one is not good, it is impossible to say that even the small life that was so hard to save before has to be taken again. go in. "I personally think that I should choose a good tree to live in."

"This king is a good tree, but there may not be a place for you to live." Li Hongyuan dipped his pen with ink and wrote something casually.

"Do not seek to climb high branches, but seek a small shadow of footing under a good tree."

"You're not pursuing." Li Hongyuan put down his pen and glanced at him.

Su Mingzhang thought to himself that it was not that he did not pursue it, but that he was in an embarrassing situation and wanted to take credit only to "break the crime".

"This king knows, you go down."

Su Mingzhang didn't get any promises, so Su Mingzhang was naturally unwilling, but as he thought, it was for "redemption", and it was delivered to the door by himself, which devalued his own value. How can he ask the other party to make a promise? ? Su Mingzhang's heart was slowly bitter.

It's just that there is no promise, and it seems that there is no statement about whether to accept him or not. How is this good? Could it be that you really don't plan to use him? Knowing that you are with Prince Rui is very important. You know a lot of things that others don't know. If you make use of it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you replace it with any other prince, I am afraid that it will be tightly held in the hand, and then I will try my best. to drain his value.

Like this, maybe it can only show that in the eyes of Prince Jin, he is really only dispensable; or maybe it is a test given to him by Prince Jin, waiting for him to hand over a satisfactory vote. It's useless to lick your lips up and down.

However, the most helpless thing is the situation where there is no prompt at all.

In the face of Prince Jin, Su Mingzhang did not dare to continue to ask questions, so he had to leave angrily. What to do after that, you still need to think about it yourself. Just thinking about doing things on your own, you are faced with a problem, what is the best way to do it? it is good? or better?

After Shu Su Mingzhang left, Jingwan walked out of the cubicle next to her, looked in the direction of the door, and said thoughtfully, "A Yuan, what do you think Su Mingzhang will do?"

"No matter what you do, the result is the same, there is no difference."

Jingwan knew it in her heart, and sure enough, as long as it was the Fu family who calculated the Su family, and "her" was implicated, and as long as someone put part of this account on the Su family's head, it would be impossible for Su Mingzhang to return to the original one. The location, at most, is to let them save their lives. When the house is raided in the future, leave more money for the Su family. Perhaps for Shu Su Mingzhang, this is enough. After several months of hardships, it must be for him. It is a rare and profound experience. The kind of Jin Gui raised from the rich and noble nest has almost been wiped out, but not necessarily the rest of the Su family. After all, Concubine Su has been favoring the harem for more than 20 years, and the Su family is also the same. It is a rising tide, although it is not comparable to other aristocratic families, but the wealth and glory inside, I am afraid that not many people can match it, and so on, suddenly become ordinary civilians, such a gap, the psychological capacity is slightly poor , maybe drive it crazy. At that time, there will be blame and mutual accusations, which originally seemed to be just some insignificant problems, such as greed for money, which will be infinitely magnified at this time.

Such a scene is almost conceivable.

Therefore, no matter what Su Mingzhang does, the Su family is doomed to not have a better time.

Because they will not know that real poverty actually comes from the heart.

"It's just that I think that if you really have the ability, it's okay to use it." As the saying goes, a brick in society can be moved where it needs to be, and it's a pity that there is no labor force.

"Just doing things doesn't give benefits? Well, my husband knows."

Know what, did she mean that? Don't talk nonsense.

Su Mingzhang is also a ruthless man in essence, and he has a decision in his heart, so he does not drag the water.

So, Prince Rui, who was eager to see through, finally waited for this general under his command.

Prince Rui always wears the skin of a gentle and polite corporal, not to mention that Su Mingzhang is his cousin, so he naturally treats him differently. At this time, he completely puts down his body, just like his own brother, asking for warmth and expressing all kinds of worries.

For Su Mingzhang, the appearance of Prince Rui has long been

I was used to it, I didn't feel anything in the past, but now it seems that the thoughts in my heart have changed inexplicably. Just using this kind of skin to win over the people below feels more than one grade lower than Prince Jin. No matter in terms of means or ability, it seems that there is a gap between the heavens and the abyss.

"Mingzhang, the past few months have caused you to suffer and have been wronged. It's all because of this king. It's because this king is not capable enough to protect you. This king is really ashamed." Prince Rui's face was filled with guilt, as if he The poor dug out his heart to show his sincerity.

There are only two words left in Su Mingzhang's heart, that is: passed. That's right, Prince Rui, as the prince of the king, holds great power, and has a lot of supporters and strong backers behind him. The real people are dragons and phoenixes, and they should be at the top. degree has passed.

Joining the new master completely changed his mentality, so when he faced Prince Rui again, he always made comparisons and picked out many shortcomings.

Who is Su Mingzhang? Huanhai has been up and down for many years. Although he may not be as good as some old foxes, he is indeed the one who eats this meal. In his more than 30 years of life, the only thing that went wrong is probably that one. The woman who made him fall down to this point—although, it should be someone else’s design, but he was really fooled by that face—the real emotion would not be exposed easily. At this time, it was staged with Prince Rui. A "monarch and ministers get each other" drama is still handy.

As soon as Prince Rui plays the role of being caring and considerate, he will be able to play the liver and brain that is right on the ground.

Prince Rui may have a lot of acting elements in it, but he doesn't have any other thoughts. However, Su Mingzhang is different. He is acting from the inside to the outside, and there is no sincerity in it. With some subtle temptations.

Su Mingzhang wanted to know whether Prince Rui knew about his search for Prince Jin.

However, Su Mingzhang was still satisfied with the result of the test. He was basically certain that Prince Rui knew nothing. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not difficult to understand. After all, Prince Rui had always been cautious in his work and had a lot of trust in himself. When approaching me, I will definitely evacuate all the people without "monitoring" around me. I am afraid that others will find out, and thus detect the relationship between the two parties, which will not only damage the interests, but also destroy the hard-to-go. At this stage of the chess game, he may also be involved.

On the contrary, if Prince Rui had noticed something, according to Su Mingzhang's understanding of him, it was impossible for him to control his emotions to such an extent. Prince Rui did not have such a deep city, what was the essence of Prince Rui? I just want to appear generous, but in fact, my mind is narrow-minded and can't tolerate betrayal. It's not much better than Prince Kang.

But this doesn't just prove that Prince Jin may really have a hand and an eye to cover up things well.

Prince Rui didn't know much about things in the northwest, so he needed to get the exact information from Su Mingzhang so that he could take the next step. As far as Su Mingzhang is concerned, he is still not very clear about the internal information. He has been concealed from beginning to end, and he is passively ignorant everywhere. However, after knowing some things, according to his IQ, some things can still be inferred, but the result of that inference can't be told to Prince Rui now.

Su Mingzhang's three points and seven points really fooled Prince Rui, and then he got some good news from Prince Rui, but just like this, it was not enough to make a name certificate, so he thought of another way, and , When it comes to serious business, it is natural to need to care about personal affairs, just like his family - this is true; another example is Princess Liu and the newly born Prince Rui.

Speaking of that child, Su Mingzhang clearly noticed the strange look on Prince Rui's face. It's very good. There is no need to say anything. Based on this, he already knows that the current Prince Rui's youngest son is not the child of Princess Liu. , as expected, he still took that move and confuses the royal bloodline. Once it is revealed, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's wrath. In addition to all the previous things, the emperor's sense of Prince Rui has dropped a lot. Then again, it is obvious. It will definitely deal a heavy blow to Prince Rui and the noble concubine, and perhaps they will not recover from this, and such a powerful opponent for the throne will be abolished.

But if this matter is used as a certificate of submission, then it has to be carefully considered. After all, the Su family is aware of the matter of stealing the phoenix and turning the dragon, and may have participated in it.

Wait, Su Mingzhang suddenly thought of a question, that is, will the person who poisoned Prince Rui originally be Prince Jin? If everything was operated by Prince Jin behind the scenes, then this matter should also be known, and it would be meaningless to conceal it. Moreover, since something like sterilization powder was given, the child born, even if it was real, would still be worthless. If it can be faked, anyone else will do it. Su Mingzhang hesitated again in his heart, swaying.

"Mingzhang, what are you thinking?"

Su Mingzhang shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the current situation. I don't know when it will end. After all, the war is not what this minister is good at. I feel a little tired." Nothing bad.

Prince Rui was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "There will always be an end, and the result is obvious."

- Obviously, you will fail miserably.

"By the way, what's going on between you and Fu Yunting, is his attitude towards you a little 'too good'? If he really promotes you, it's impossible to ignore your current situation, but if If you have the intention to harm you, what could be the reason? You should know that this person must not be contaminated."

--promoted? What is there to be promoted as a half-assed person? Zuo is just because he knows his true identity and works for Prince Jin.

Of course, he spared no effort to pit himself. The face was very helpless, "I don't know either. Probably when I was in the northwest, 'something' was too hard. He knew it. As a coach and a coach, I probably wouldn't like it."

Prince Rui instantly understood that it was supposed to be a fake military exploit, but he couldn't accuse the other party of being careless. After all, the other party was not a piece of material, and the time was too short. If you give a few more years and start from scratch, everything may be over. Different, no matter how bad it is, there will be 30%. "Quick success" caused by lack of time.

However, at this moment, Prince Rui was unhappy because he failed to achieve the predetermined goal, so much so that he ignored one point. If this is the case, a low-level commoner who is found to have faked military exploits, can he not doubt Su Bubu's identity? After all, ordinary people can do and do such a thing?

However, even if Prince Rui reacts, Su Mingzhang can prevaricate him. At that time, Prince Rui will only be entangled in how much Fu Yunting knows, what he suspects, and so on, and will not think about Su Mingzhang's head.

It's just that, it may cause more trouble to Fu Yunting, but so what? Su Mingzhang is not guilty at all. People under the same person are fighting for merit and stumbling each other. What a normal thing, he is just now. Let Fu Yunting carry the black cauldron again. I believe that with Prince Jin covering him, nothing major will happen.

Not only could he not be blamed, but Prince Jin also spoke out to appease him.

Afterwards, the two fell into a long silence, but in Prince Rui's mind, they should be thinking in the same direction, just for his great cause, but Su Mingzhang was carefully pondering Prince Jin's temperament and behavior. Can it be said that the Prince Jin that he learned about in the past was his disguise? No, maybe that itself is a part of him, but just in this way, the level of terror of Prince Jin will go up countless levels.

A person who is ruthless, cruel, wise and wise means that it is difficult to deceive him. Once deceived and discovered, the end will definitely be extremely miserable.

Su Mingzhang already had a decision in his heart, he decided to take a gamble, betting on irrelevant people, even if he was involved in some things, Prince Jin would not care.

Therefore, Su Mingzhang wanted to ask Prince Rui what the origin of that child was. When the words were about to blurt out, he stopped abruptly. This question cannot be asked. If he participated in it at the beginning, he already knew it. It is not appropriate to ask questions without knowing it. After all, the less people know about such things, the better. Prince Rui trusts him, but Prince Rui also has many common problems with high-ranking people. He is suspicious by nature, and sometimes a trivial matter may cause him to have some doubts, which will outweigh the gains.

Su Mingzhang pressed the idea in his heart and told Prince Yu Jin about the matter first. He would then find a way to find out the origin of the child from other channels. As for Prince Jin, he knew everything about this possibility. Some things, would rather do something useless.

To find a breakthrough, you must start with someone who knows the inside. For Su Mingzhang, the best choice must be someone from the Su family.

In theory, Su Mingzhang is not suitable for contacting the people of the Su family at this time, and Prince Rui will not allow it. However, Su Mingzhang didn't take it seriously. Even if Prince Rui found out later, he could completely infer that he missed his family very much and was hard to control. And even if Prince Rui was furious in his heart, he would forgive him kindly on the face. Since he no longer misses you too much, and the full name has nothing to do with him after he doesn't plan for him, Su Mingzhang naturally doesn't bother to care about his emotions anymore.

They met in secret and parted ways, but this so-called secret, Su Mingzhang didn't think that no third person would know about it.

This time, not all the generals who returned to Beijing together will stay. Some of them originally belonged to the local area. After receiving the award, they will naturally return to the border to continue to defend their homeland and the country.

According to common sense, Su Mingzhang should also be one of them, but the people from the Ministry of War seem to be good at figuring out the holy meaning, so Su Mingzhang naturally stayed. Of course, this was originally what Prince Rui and others meant, so everyone was happy.

Like Fu Yunting, Su Mingzhang has become an idler with a fake job. Some people are anxious, but it is good for Su Mingzhang. After all, he is not good at martial arts. With enough time, he can do something for others. What can't be done, of course, there are still a lot of people staring at him now, so we can only slow down for a while. I believe that after a while, there are probably only a handful of people who can think of him. After all, no one cares. He has no right, and no one will take care of him.

At that time, Su Mingzhang believes that Prince Rui will not give up on him. Instead, he will most likely go to the back door to do some more private things, or even to solve the private affairs. Those things may not be very important to the overall situation, but they will be very fatal. , and these, if you don't pay attention, will become a deadly handle.

In the past, Su Mingzhang would not be willing to do these things, and he would still have complaints. Even Prince Rui would think it was overkill. Now, everyone seems to be more suitable.

Before that, Su Mingzhang had already submitted a nomination letter, that is, the specific list of ministers who had served Prince Rui. This may not be a big deal, but at least it was affirmed by Prince Jin. In this way, Su Mingzhang also relaxed a little. In one breath, I was afraid that I would become a waste.

When everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner, this year's meeting was ushered in.

In Li Hongyuan's previous life, the war in the northwest had not ended at this time, and the meeting was basically unaffected, except that the Juren in the northwest basically did not participate. However, the geographical location also created the difference in education level. There are not many people, and even if they have passed the general exam and participated in the final palace exam, very few can enter the second class, let alone the first class.

There must be one, at least since the establishment of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the best result is only the second and sixth.

The meeting every three years, each time is the most important thing, and it is also the time when the readers are most active. Whether they will participate or not, they will participate in it, and they will have intense discussions and will never tire of guessing the final ranking. Those people Those who are optimistic again, the ones with the most limelight often have their own large number of "fans".

"I basically still remember the question, does Wanwan want it?" Li Hongyuan teased Wanwan seriously.

Jing Wan just gave him a sideways glance and ignored him. Not to mention how many things have changed in his past life and now, as far as he said, although he is in the capital at this time, he seems to be in dire straits, dealing with a bunch of wolves, tigers and leopard brothers, and The old man who wants him to die, has the time to pay attention to the exam questions? Who are you fooling!

The lie was exposed, and Li Hongyuan's face did not blushed and his heart skipped a beat, "Okay, I really don't know the subject of the exam, but I do know about it in the palace exam. Are you sure Wanwan doesn't want it?"

"Anything can change before the end. You should have a better understanding of this, A Yuan. If I guessed correctly, in the last palace exam, the question should have changed. Besides, Even if the title remains the same, my three brothers don't need to cheat to get their grades, on the contrary, if all three of them get good grades, wouldn't they just send a live target and be criticized?"

Li Hongyuan smiled, noncommittal, probably agreeing with Jingwan's words. Well, it was a joke in the beginning anyway.

"A Yuan, I'm quite curious. In the end, Jinshi and the third person."

"I don't remember the second place and the third flower. As for this champion, you know it too."

Jingwan raised her eyebrows, "Jiang Wanli?"

Li Hongyuan's face turned cold in an instant, and he snorted coldly, "Looking at Wanwan, I also look at him very much."

He casually overturned the vinegar jar. It's been two years since they were married. How could he still not get used to it? Wan didn't mind either.

She knows that there are only a few people who will participate in this year's test, not her three brothers, and the ones who are related to the Luo family are also not very similar to that material, that is, Jiang Wanli, who is now favored by many people - her own family The youngest disciple of the uncle.

"Since A Yuan remembers him, I think Jiang Wanli's achievements in the future should be good, at least during your reign." Jing Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, "A Yuan should prefer to use young talents."

Since Jingwan said this, it means that she has enough knowledge of Li Hongyuan, which is undoubtedly pleasing to the living King of Hell and pulling Jingwan into her arms, the tone of yin and yang is no longer, and she is still in the mood to talk about some things, " Jiang Wanli became famous as a young man. He was the Xie Yuan of their county in those days. This time the meeting was Huiyuan, and the palace examination was the champion. No one objected to it, and it was not for the sake of a good luck. In the end, he was named the champion."

That being said, it's really awesome.

It can be said that the situation of Sanyuanji is really rare. There may not be a single case in a dynasty, or there may not be one for hundreds of years. Even if it occurs, it may be the same as what A Yuan said, for the sake of good Caitou, the real test can be regarded as a rare treasure. After all, the further back the current scientific test is, the more subjective it is, and the people who grade the papers basically have their own preferences. It is not a treasure to have them agree that it is good, even to the extent that they have to abandon their positions.

Fortunately, Li Hongyuan doesn't know what Jingwan thinks, otherwise, it's not "sour" in his mouth. It is estimated that he will really take action to bring this "treasure" to harmony. Anyway, in his cognition, no matter how capable he is. People can't carry a country, and if a country really only depends on one person, then it's not far from extinction. Therefore, capable people can still have more but not more.

Three years ago, I had already experienced the situation where my own people participated in the meeting, so I was very calm and not nervous at all.

It was Jing Wan's fourth uncle, who was only admitted three years ago, and his ranking was not very good. At this time, Luo Peishan slipped out and reprimanded him. In front of all the brothers and nephews, Luo Fourth Master could not wait to find a hole in the ground. go in.

After the training, Luo Peishan looked at the three brothers who were going to the examination room, "If the ranking is worse than your fourth uncle, when you come back, wait for the family law to serve you."

Hearing the words, the three of them immediately tightened their skins and cheered up their spirits.
