"Wei Yong is only at the fifth rank, but Jian Yuancang is the fourth rank and has a chance to be promoted to the upper rank. Besides, who was behind Wei Yong at that time? He was just an incompetent son of King Yuan. Who is behind Jian Yuancang now? Chu King, the future emperor is the favorite, no, he should be the number one favorite. He even lost the royal gold seal, and the emperor didn’t punish him very much. It is said that he will be asked to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to practice. Tell me, what kind of fortune-telling skills can Scheming against the prince?"

"Is this...really going to the official department?"

"Anyway, it's said that he has a nose and eyes." Zhong Baishan said.

"The Ministry of Personnel is the number one under the cabinet, and is known as the chief of all officials. Letting the King of Chu go there is almost paving the way for the King of Chu to ascend the throne."

"Who says it's not the case! At first, we thought that Mr. Li would use his life skills to fight back against Jian Yuancang like before. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li was completely silent. He either stayed in Chunfeng Residence or went shopping all day long. I don’t know which kiosk I visited.”

"Then what?" Lou Yushan asked.

"Then, I heard from the gossip that King Cang, Zhang Fugui and Song Yanxue did not agree with the renovation of Chunfeng Residence, so Jian Yuancang planned to renovate the house behind Chunfeng Residence into a road leading directly to the back wall of Chunfeng Residence."

"This... Mr. Li Hou can bear it?"

"Who knows, Jian Yuancang hasn't taken action yet, he is probably still testing." Zhong Baishan said.

"Uncle, tell me, what will happen to Mr. Li?"

Zhong Baishan thought for a while and said: "In the short term, there is no problem, it's just about the position. But in the long term, it's hard to say three or five years from now."

"Why?"

Zhong Baishan pointed to the sky and said: "Everyone knows that that person's illness is recurring. Everyone can also see what those princes are like. Now, only the king of Chu and the general king have emperors. However, the gap between the General King and Jin Shang is so deep that it is unimaginable. How can I rest assured? Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the possibility of King Chu is greater than that of others. "

"Well, that's true. Once the King of Chu ascends the throne, Mr. Li will probably be the first to be liquidated."

Zhong Baishan said: "Yes, Mr. Li is not afraid. He is the son of Gang Feng and a fortune-teller. If he cannot become an official, he will leave at worst. But his subordinates are miserable. You say you are Chu King, when you become emperor, can you pretend that nothing happened?"

"Yeah..." Lou Yushan sighed.

Zhong Baishan stared at his nephew for a while and said, "You came to me specifically...I understand. You want to ask Mr. Li Hou to help you find ways?"

"Last time I organized a reunion for Luo's classmates, he agreed, but after the Qingyun Examination, he went directly to Qiyuan City. This time, I thought he was back, so I invited him again, and he agreed. But now this situation..."

Zhong Baishan nodded, thought for a long time, and said: "If you just have a meal with him, it doesn't matter. But if you ask him for help, you need to think again. After all, he is a life magician, and if he offends the King of Chu, he will just slap his butt. You can leave, but we can't. We still have to rely on the court for food. Only by not offending anyone can we survive."

"I have informed other classmates, but I am hesitant not to invite him, so I came to you to make a decision. Do you think I should invite him?"

Zhong Baishan smiled and said: "Well, I can't decide this for you. However, I didn't invite him to the class reunion this time. If I invite him next time, it doesn't have to be this time. Wait, what are you afraid of? "

Lou Yushan's eyes lit up and he smiled: "I understand, thank you uncle."

As he spoke, he crumpled the invitation card in his sleeve.

"Thank you, they are all members of our family. However, you can't go too far. After all, he is the Marquis of Qiyuan, and he is also a life magician. We can't bear the offence."

"Uncle, don't worry. After all these years, I still understand this basic thing. The only one...sigh."

"What the only one?" Zhong Baishan asked.

"A classmate named Dai Tie has a withdrawn temperament, like a scholar, and comes from an ordinary family. I don't think he will become a great person in the future, so I... gave him a few words of advice, which were a bit harsh. Who knows, just this year, he I have entered the eyes of a certain master in the Yushitai, officially entered the Yushitai, and been promoted to the ninth rank."

"From the Yushitai? If you offend these officials, you'll be in trouble. Don't you happen to be having a classmate gathering? You can invite him by the way and apologize, and that's it."

"I asked, but he didn't agree. He's a straightforward person, so he won't ruin my future, but I still feel a little knotty in my heart."

"Alas, who could have expected such a thing? Besides, who is an official in the imperial court and hasn't stumbled yet? Don't worry, take your time. One day, you too will be able to wear a scarlet coat."

"But my talents are limited. I used to rely on my father to join the Ministry of Work. Now my grandfather's influence in the Ministry of Household Affairs has weakened, and my father has encountered difficulties. I..."

"well……"

The uncle and nephew chatted until evening before leaving the restaurant.

Zhong Baishan walked slowly, feeling a little sad in his heart. He thought he could have a way out by relying on his brother-in-law and his family, but who knew that now even his nephew has too much time to take care of himself, and his brother-in-law is even less able to take care of himself.

He stumbled into Night Guard and walked slowly towards his house along the gravel road. When he walked not far from Chunfeng Residence, he saw purple-red color in his peripheral vision and turned his head to look.

Not far from the entrance of Chunfeng Residence, an important official in purple clothes and an important official in scarlet clothes stood opposite each other. Zhong Baishan suddenly became excited, and his drunkenness completely dissipated.

He glared and saw, weren't they the deputy commander, Qiyuan Marquis Li Qingxian, and the commander on the right, Jian Yuancang?

"Jian Yuancang, the lower official, has met Lord Li. What a coincidence." Jian Yuancang lowered his hands like hammers and looked at Li Qingxian with a smile.

Li Qingxian nodded lightly and passed by with a few people behind him.

The officials behind Jian Yuancang quickly lowered their heads.

Jian Yuancang turned his head and watched Li Qingxian's back disappear into Chunfeng Residence. He smiled and said, "Let's go."

Returning to the study with the officials he was close to, Jian Yuancang smiled and said, "Am I right? This Lord Li is a master. I'm afraid he understood my intentions, so he ignored me. It's not a good idea, but Not bad either.”

"If he doesn't take action now, is it because he can't move or something?" the official said.

"He is a smart man. He knows that at this time, he has to swallow his anger and keep a low profile. However, how can I do what he wants? Tell the people below to prepare immediately. In three days, the road will be built directly to the back wall of Chunfengju. I Let’s see if he can still keep his composure!”

Chunfengju.

Li Qingxian stepped into the door, sat on a chair, looked out the window, and smiled.

Yu Ping sighed and said, "Sir, that Jian Yuancang pretended to pass by for the second time, obviously to provoke him. But after all, he is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. If he doesn't do something out of line, we can't do anything with him."

"A toad lying on your feet is disgusting if it doesn't bite you." Han Anbo said.

Yu Ping glanced at Li Qingxian and said, "I heard something, I don't know if I can tell you."

"Say." Li Qingxian said.
