Bastards

Chapter 203 The Battle of Chaotang

Zuoxiang Ban Wei'an is a die-hard king of Yue, and his support has almost crossed the road, and everyone knows it.

In the past six months, the prince was still in court, and his series of doubts and criticisms against the prince never stopped.

The prince has made meritorious deeds, so he picks and criticizes him in every possible way; if he can't pick it out, he advises that he needs to suppress it, saying that the prince is young and impetuous, and being stricter will help the prince grow up, and he should not give too much power and reward, lest the prince will be upset and make mistakes. .

The crown prince made omissions, so he sternly accused him, with a sneer of 'what did the truth say at the beginning', saying that this matter cannot be left to the crown prince, the small mistake now is the big mistake in the future, you should be cited For warning!

If the prince made a little mistake, it would be even more serious. He dared to write dozens of pages of scriptures and scold the prince eloquently, reminding the emperor to be vigilant!

……

The list goes on and on.

Of course, Prime Minister Zuo is the biggest official in the court. Under the emperor, he has the most power and authority. He needs to do things and face, so he is the one who promotes everything, but he doesn't necessarily do it himself. Do.

He just kept his eyes on the general direction, put on the appearance of a loyal minister who said 'I'm not targeting anyone, I just hope Da'an is well', stabbed and cursed people around corners, trembling with his white hair, and looked in front of Emperor Taikang slightly at the critical moment Kneeling, speaking honestly and honestly, the drama is enough.

The reason for this series of performances... Everyone is not stupid, anyone can see it.

The crown prince and King Chang of Yue were not born of the same mother. The former was exiled for more than ten years and only returned last year.But wolves are wolves, if they are thrown out to grow wild, they can also develop their abilities. Once they come back, they will make countless contributions, and the hearts of the people will lean on them.

King Yue was in a hurry.

That's right, the situation that was originally believed to be a sure thing, suddenly changed, and everyone would have to be anxious if they changed.

These two people were doomed to be hostile since they were born. They can't be friends, they can't have brotherhood. One day, either you will die or I will die!

It is impossible for Emperor Taikang not to know the situation that even the most stupid courtier can understand, but he doesn't care.

This "don't care" is just a gesture, he just wants to sit and watch the level of his sons, or - he directly acquiesces in his position and supports the King of Yue.

Because it's too obvious that the left prime minister is the King of Yue, which is simply crushing the prince.Fortunately, the crown prince is capable. Although he doesn't have many resources and contacts, he still does practical things quickly and makes meritorious deeds. His own martial arts are not bad, he hasn't made any serious mistakes, and he still has a place in the court...

The left phase has high weight and a solid foundation. It is not an easy task to pull him off the horse. Don't try to make a trick, it can be done overnight.

But when you doze off, a pillow will be delivered to you... It's a fool who doesn't need it!

As soon as Cui Yu consolidated his own, little uncle's, and Cui Ying's news, he knew there was an opportunity to take advantage of!He immediately notified Yang Xuan to secretly investigate the forces around Ban Chan.

As long as there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, everyone will raise some guards and even train a few dead soldiers. This is nothing, but if the number is too large, you can still insert your hands into the palace... that is a big problem!

In addition, there is another thing that needs to be paid attention to. The disputes between the show girls should not be underestimated.

For some things, they can arrange plans based on news clues, but for some things, they need opportunities.The dispute between the little girls may not seem like a big deal, but in fact... it is closely related to the outside world.

The show girls all have family members.

Maybe something accidentally made a big deal and gave them a chance?

……

Sure enough, as Cui Yu expected, something really happened.

Ban Chan's combat prowess is extraordinary, she divides the showgirls into several categories, and treats them with different attitudes, which is called a smooth play.But she is not the only one among the show girls who has a heart, there are those who can't do her job, who are born with insufficient financial resources, and who are a little cautious to fish in troubled waters, so they do everything possible to expand their living space.

Ban Chan didn't allow it, and the two sides got into a fight. You come and go, and the tactics become more and more fierce. It's called a sword, light and sword, and it doesn't look like a game played by a little girl at all.

Therefore, Mu Zhizhi, who has a pure and lovely personality and is very suitable to be a gunman, was introduced.

This girl is also strange, she doesn't know how her brain grows, she was used as a gun several times, but she didn't realize it, and she still thinks that everyone is a good person!

The more stupid she is, the more willing everyone is to use her. Every time it is critical, they need to take the opportunity to provoke trouble, or to block the gun in danger, they pull her out...

The show girls have been together for a long time, who doesn't know who?This girl, Mu Zhizhi, has been favored by her elders, and this time she is only a show girl to make a living, and the higher-ups have agreed.Because there is no conflict of interest, everyone will use her to block and use her. They don't have any hatred for her, and they won't really do anything to her.

But everything happens in case, at the critical moment, the situation was not controlled well, Mu Zhizhi was pushed into the water, and almost couldn't be rescued...

Mou Zhizhi's father was Mou Xingze, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

As mentioned earlier, Mou Xingze gave birth to eight sons, and only then did he marry Lao Peng and give birth to Zhu, and he had this daughter.Mrs. Mou has a daughter who is full of everything. Whenever she is free, she will be with her daughter. It can be said that Mou Zhizhi grew up on his lap, and Mou Xingze is also used to developing such a pure and kind temperament.

Hasn't Mou Xingze regretted raising his daughter too naively?But there's nothing wrong with being naive, and my daughter doesn't have to be an official to make a living, so what's wrong with being so lively and kind?She is well-behaved and obedient, dexterous, and treats people with sincerity and sincerity. There is no one she doesn't like. As long as she finds someone for her, her life will be happy in the future.

My daughter can't see the idea of ​​beautiful girls, how can he not see it after he has been immersed in officialdom for so many years?

He had thought before that his daughter's temperament was already established, so he didn't expect her to make any progress, just went to the palace for a while and looked at the methods of the beautiful girls, as long as he had a little bit of insight.The show girls all have their own family background channels, knowing that their daughters will not steal anything from them, nor will they make enemies, so they are so cruel.

He thought well, but who would have expected these beautiful girls to be so cruel?He almost killed his good girl!If the imperial physician hadn't arrived in time, his daughter would have... just...

Mou Xingze threw things all over the room, and sullenly launched channels to inquire about the news of Huangzhuang's beautiful girls.

After inquiring, the culprit turned out to be Ban Chan, Zuo Xiang's daughter!

Ban Chan's thoughts are too straightforward, anyone can see it.But you like the king of Yue, and it is up to you to marry the king of Yue, you can figure out things yourself, what are you doing with my daughter lying on the ground!

Mou Xingze immediately went to Prime Minister Zuo and asked him to discipline his daughter.

But Prime Minister Zuo spread his hands, looking confused: What are you talking about?How would I know about the little girl?Is there any evidence?Even if there is, the affairs in the Huangzhuang are under the control of Concubine Youtian, so how can I intervene?

He also speaks very nicely, he is not in a hurry, he is reasonable and well-founded, and his Taiji boxing is called slippery.

Mou Xingze's heart immediately turned cold.

How could such an official from the left and such a clear-minded person not know?He did it on purpose, deliberately indulged his daughter!

As a father, he loves and supports his daughter. Mou Xingze understands it very well, because he also loves his daughter very much and is determined to support her for the rest of his life.But support is right, you have to teach your daughter well, what is right and what is wrong, what can be done and what can't be done, you have to let her know!

When Mou Zhizhi was young, he made a mistake, no matter how distressed he was, he still had to punish him mercilessly. He didn't want his daughter to look crooked. Why did everything change when he came to Zuoxiang?

Are you not ashamed of doing such evil deeds, but proud of it?

Mou Xingze was furious at the crown for his daughter, and the next morning, he directly turned to the left prime minister!

The left phase has high weight, has been operating for many years, and has a lot of resources and connections.How could such a person do nothing wrong?Even if he doesn't have it, can his family have it?No family members, subordinates, in-laws, no one can find a fault?Impossible.

What's more, Zuo Xiang loves money very much.

Mou Xingze has been an official for many years, and it's not that he has no sense. It's such a coincidence that he has mastered a little secret of the leftist prime minister!

Zuo Xiang is directly under the Shangguan, even if his ideas do not agree, he knows the depth and will not do such stupid things, but now Zuo Xiang is bullying his daughter!This is no longer a stupid thing, this is the dignity of being a father!

There is shit under Zuo Xiang's ass, but Mou Xingze doesn't. He thinks he has been an official for many years and has never done anything against his conscience. Nothing wrong with it, unless someone deliberately framed it.

This time, he is going to fight for his daughter, regardless of the consequences, regardless of gains and losses, he will do everything without fear!

As soon as Mou Xingze came out, the whole court was blown up.

Everyone's first reaction was that someone dared to take part in the left side, how courageous it is!

They exchanged glances at each other, whispered a few words and gestures, and understood that Mou Xingze was doing it for his daughter... couldn't help sighing.

King Yue glanced at Prime Minister Zuo, but said nothing.

He thinks that such a small matter should not require his intervention.

Prime Minister Zuo was even more calm, without even looking at Mou Xingze, he knelt in front of Emperor Taikang with his gray hair on his head, expressing with gestures: the old minister was wronged.

Emperor Taikang on the dragon chair obviously didn't expect such a script.

He was very unhappy.

His court should focus on stability, and the position of the left minister is too important, if something really happens...the follow-up will be troublesome.

It's just that Zuo Xiang has gone too far in recent years, should he take this opportunity to suppress him?

Emperor Taikang hadn't made up his mind, so he naturally wouldn't jump to conclusions lightly. He ordered Mou Xingze to verify more evidence, and then withdrew from the court.

Before Yang Xuan left the hall, he glanced at Mou Xingze, and the corners of his lips slightly raised an arc.

……

Mou Xingze quarreled with the prime minister on the left, this matter is too big, all the officials said that they are a little worried.

As for Mou Xingze, he has a straightforward nature, except for a little doting on his daughter, there is nothing wrong with him.He is also very generous, in officialdom, he is willing to give up his vested interests to share with his colleagues, he is also tight-lipped, and never speaks ill of others and leaks secrets.

He has his own bottom line, and he will never touch things he doesn't like, but he won't prevent others from using all kinds of bad means to make money and benefit, unless he has absolute control.If you can't control it, if it's not his control, just avoid it.

This is his way of being an official.

It seems a little moderate, but also a little persistent.Over the years, I have made many friends.

Most of these friends admire him very much, accept his personality, and are extremely congenial with him. Even if some friends have a little problem, they still have their own flaws and have their own limits.

Mou Xingze is a person who values ​​love and affection. Even if everyone disagrees with his act of loving his daughter, they still approve of his character.

Who wouldn't want to make such a friend?

When a friend is in trouble, who wouldn't want to stand up?

But this time it's different, Mou Xingze hates the prime minister.

The left side has high power, and almost controls the life and death of the people. If he is really offended, what should he do with his official career?And... the king of Yue couldn't help but be scrupled.

The King of Yue didn't take action because he thought it was unnecessary, but if they helped Mou Xingze and escalated the matter to the point of getting out of hand, the King of Yue was furious, and in the future...

Although they didn't want to stand in line, when would King Yue really sit in that position?They have to think about their future.

It's okay to make Mou Xingze a friend, but it's not worthwhile to ruin one's future.

But if I don't help at all, I feel...I feel sorry for myself!

For a while, everyone lost their minds, wishing that the morning time would never come, let them think of a countermeasure.

……

Most people didn't expect that the dispute between the little girls would lead to the ups and downs of the court.

When Cui Yu received the news, he had some vague guesses, and made a few coping plans by the way, aiming at different development situations.Looking at it now... He rolled his eyes, called his little uncle, and whispered in his ear.

After hearing this, the little uncle squeezed Cui Yu's face with a smile: "How does the little head grow, it's so clever!"

Before Cui Yu could react, he tiptoed and Shi Qinggong jumped out of the window.

The fingertips are smooth and soft to the touch, as expected of his nephew, not only everything looks good, but also everything is easy to touch!

It's just... I feel so angry that such a soft and tender nephew was taken away by the prince's possessive bear man!Whenever it appears, a pair of dark and sharp eyes are always vigilant around the surroundings, for fear that anyone will touch Cui Mata, like a little wolf dog protecting food, especially annoying!

Hate it or hate it, things still have to be done.

He is not doing things for the prince, he is doing things for his beautiful nephew!

Cui Shu went to a brothel.

Luoyang City is the largest, the highest standard, non-high-ranking officials and powerful, well-connected guests are not entertained, the brothel is full every day, and no one dares to make trouble...

He spent a lot of money and asked the prostitutes who performed that night to perform a play according to the script provided by Cui Yu.

So that night, many high-ranking officials learned about this incident through various news channels, and were inspired by this drama, which was very similar to the court movement, and had a new direction.

Right, this is the best way to do it!

Morning the next day.

After making up his mind, Mou Xingze, who has infinite fighting power, jumped out again, saying that there is new evidence, and he wants to impeach the left prime minister again!

Emperor Taikang was suppressed last time, but this time he couldn't be suppressed simply and rudely. We must give everyone a chance to speak freely.

So now it's all right, and the battle is fierce.

Mou Xingze hates the left minister, but who is the left minister, there are countless capable people under the faction, and he is not fighting alone!In an instant, someone came out to block the knife, and there was no need to move the left link.

In comparison, Mou Xingze is weak and has no faction power, but he has friends!

Someone blocked the knife for the left side, and someone stood up for Mou Xingze. They rolled up their sleeves and fought without moving their hands. Excellent parallel prose, gorgeous and heroic, especially exciting!

The leftist faction went from full of confidence before, to the cold sweat of being stunned, retreating step by step, and almost being stupid.Are they wrong?This court is obviously the left minister, this Mou Xingze is stupid, it's fine if he doesn't give the left minister face, why do so many people dare?

The court officials immediately expressed with actions that we just don't give face to you sycophants, not to the left.

As long as someone stood up to defend Mou Xingze for Prime Minister Zuo, they would stand up and attack Mou Xingze. If there was no one, they would not move. If Prime Minister Zuo spoke by himself, they would be quieter, as obedient as kittens at home .

It can be said that he is very good at life!

Although Zuo Xiang felt dissatisfied with these people, he did not have any hatred.As the head of all the officials, he knows the relationship between these people and Mou Xingze. At this time, if no one pays attention to Mou Xingze, he will feel a little bit cold, and he will avoid sending officials and things in the future; looking at it now, these People can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and they can wink and do things, which are all good.

He just choked so uncomfortable!

There is no way, if the subordinates come out, they will be beaten to death, and they will have to return home. They will not impress the superiors, so they have to come by themselves.

He came out to carry it by himself, and all the officials were silent, but Mou Xingze would not be silent, and immediately revealed the evidence, accusing him like Hong Zhong.The left minister had no choice but to fight back one after another, exhausting all his wisdom and all his language traps, to deal with Mou Xingze.

It's just that in such a confrontation, no matter how the leftist behaves, right or wrong, heavy or light, the force cannot be maintained, and the scene is a bit eye-catching.

If anyone in the Zuoxiang faction can't help but jump out, the friends behind Mou Xingze will also jump out, repeating the previous scene, and the scene is even more eye-catching.

In the end, there was only one person on the left, and it was very fair to deal with Mou Xingze alone...

While being relieved by all the officials, he couldn't help admiring in his heart, such a way of doing things couldn't be more clever!And it seems... everyone knows?

Is there any righteous man who understands their predicament and gives guidance one by one?

After retreating from the court, all the officials jumped back together, wanting to check if there were any cat hides inside. Why did everyone act so in unison, as if they had agreed?

As a result, when I went home and asked, I found that I couldn't investigate deeply.

Why do you ask?Because it came from the brothel!

Someone in my family went to the brothel, is this a good thing?Still looking inside, what should I do if I was misunderstood by others!

So Mr. Cui Yu, a righteous man behind the scenes, is very safe.

……

In this round of wrangling, although it is impossible to convict the left prime minister for a while, it is clear that Mou Xingze has the upper hand.

How could Prime Minister Zuo allow it?

He also has a new trick, so he simply gave up, stopped arguing, and went straight to the book, begging for bones!

He said that the old minister is old anyway and can't do much, so let's just treat it as his fault this time, and ask Taikang Emperor to allow him to retire and let him go home for the elderly.

Just drop the pick and quit!

How important is the position of the left prime minister, all the affairs under his command are handed over before and after, and the risk of the situation is controlled.

I really don't want to do this, this is a naked threat!

Even this posture, there is a sense of 'you are afraid! ' of detachment and contempt.

Mou Xingze... is really a bit hypocritical.

He just wanted to vent his anger on his daughter, telling the left prime minister that there were certain things that he couldn't do, and that he was desperate for an official career.

But Prime Minister Zuo is really about to retire, and there will be some troubles in the court and the world... The consequences are too big for him to bear.

The situation has come to an impasse.

At night, when Cui Yu met Yang Xuan, he tapped the table with his fingertips, and raised his eyes slightly to Yang Xuan: "What are you doing in a daze, it's time for you to appear on stage."

No matter the words or the eyes, there are infinite hidden meanings.

But Yang Xuan couldn't see this, the desire in his eyes was blazing, he stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lower lip, hugged Cui Yu and directly pressed him onto the couch, taking off his clothes while kissing him: "No hurry..."

Cui Mata pushed him.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Don't worry...Your man knows..."

Cui Mata was still pushing him.

He clasped the back of Cui Yu's head, kissed him all over the place, panting slightly: "Don't worry...your man will love you right now!"

Cui Mata: ...What a hurry!

Although Zuo Xiang was appointed as an official official, he is now free from illness and in good health. Before Emperor Taikang approved his paper, he still had to go to court.

Of course, the atmosphere is very wrong.

As soon as Mou Xingze jumped out, he would kneel in front of Emperor Taikang and ask for his appointment.

Everyone is familiar with this drama.

On this day, the drama repeated itself again and again, no one could bear it again and again, and had to find a way to get off.

The king of Yue wanted to be the mediator.

Yang Xuan was particularly bad, he kept secretly looking at the King of Yue, seeing that the King of Yue was about to come out to 'speak the truth' and show his ability as a prince, so he stepped out first, and said loudly: "I think Prime Minister Zuo can be criticized for being an official!"

Everyone looked at the prince in unison, surprised, even Emperor Taikang was very surprised.

King Yue gritted his teeth, reluctantly withdrew his foot that was going to stand up.

"Although we are very thirsty for talents, we can't disregard other people's wishes and force them. The left prime minister is unwilling, but we have been reluctant. Haven't we become villains?"

The prince smiled, and looked at Zuo Xiang who was kneeling on the ground with a compassionate face: "Besides, Zuo Xiang is getting old, and he would tremble slightly when he knelt down. I feel that Zuo Xiang has paid so much for Da'an. , It is absolutely true that we want to enjoy our old age comfortably. As people who are informed and courteous, we should respect the choices of the elderly, right, Prime Minister Zuo?"

Left and right teeth itch.

He is not unwilling, he is putting on airs, don't you see it!

Kneeling down and trembling slightly, that's just pretending, are you blind!

One mouthful of old characters, one mouthful of old age, ah bah, he is not old at all, can he still work for 30 years!

"The prince's words—"

"As for the left minister's errand?" Yang Xuan didn't wait for the left minister to reply, and cut it straight down, "It's good to just look at the right minister Zhuang Li. The right minister was pulled out by the left minister with one hand, and everyone can see his ability."

He turned around and looked at Zhuang Li with a smile: "Those who are able work harder, and the right minister is young. No matter how great the pressure is, no matter how heavy the intensity of official duties, he should be able to bear it. Is Gu right, Zhuang Youxiang?"

A few words instantly silenced the entire court.

Yeah, why didn't they think of that!

The left and the right have the same official rank, but in ancient times, the left is the most respected, and the left is one level higher, and it can be regarded as in charge of all affairs, but in fact many things are done by two people, and even the right does more. If you can do it, the right minister can do it...

Everyone looked at Zhuang Li with focused and burning eyes.

Even Emperor Taikang glanced at everyone in the hall, and after pausing for a moment on King Yue, he was thoughtful.

As for the prime minister on the left, he clenched his fist with one hand behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and concealed all the emotions in his eyes.As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

Zhuang Li glanced away, and his heart sank.

He is an old fox, how can he fail to see the tricks of the prince?

The prince has returned to the court for so long, and he has never contacted him privately, nor has he made any move to look at him differently. He obviously doesn't like him, and he doesn't want to win him over to stand in line.

I don't like it, but I say that, it can't be to support him, but to trap him into this dire situation!

The road to official career, the higher you go, the more difficult and dangerous, and every step forward is more difficult.But power...who doesn't want it?

Those who lack ambition and courage have already died on the way.

But he was able to climb to the position of the right phase step by step, and Ban Wei'an, the left phase, gave a lot of support and help.Now that his position is not stable, it is not appropriate to go against the left....

Everyone was looking at him everywhere, waiting for his answer.

How should he deal with it?
