Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"I'll solve it myself." Rong Youtang earnestly glanced at everyone present, and explained helplessly:

"In this world, I'm afraid no one knows him better than me."

The person who is reborn with memories has seen almost all the faces of his biological father.

Guo Da nodded first: "Okay! After all, it's a housework matter, we can't make it right, you can decide for yourself."

"If the situation is difficult, you must ask for help as soon as possible." King Qing solemnly instructed.

Rong Youtang nodded, and said with joy in bitterness: "That's natural, I will definitely rush to ask for help in times of crisis. So, I thank you in advance." After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands upright.

"Thank you? Feel free to come to me if you are in trouble. I still owe you a favor. At least I will give you a chance to repay it." Guo Da was very guilty, implying the storm of giving medicine back then.

Although unhappiness broke out, but counting: the recommendation letter from the Imperial Supervisor of the Dingbeihou Mansion, the care received in the Wang Mansion and Beiyingli, the recommendation letter from Guo Yuan to Qi Shaozhu... Gratitude still outweighs resentment.

Rong Youtang calmed down and said sincerely: "The general is serious, how can there be any favors? It is me who has always been taken care of by your family."

The speaker is sincere, but the listener has other intentions.For the farce of the past, Guo Da has always been brooding about it, and he is inevitably guilty. Out of the corner of his eye, he floated to King Qing, and waved his hands dryly: "Hey, we have been friends for many years, why are you polite? Don't say thank you again!"

"All in all," Zhao Zeyong said with a stern face, and it was rare for him to put on the prince's airs, and he ordered without disobedience: "Beware of the other party's rush and unscrupulous means, remember, you don't need to fight desperately with anyone."

With a warm and steady heart, Rong Youtang nodded earnestly: "Okay."

"Mrs. Zhou died, the empress passed away, Pingnan Hou also died of illness, and the three major backers of the Zhou family have fallen." Guo Yuan analyzed slowly. He was born as the eldest son of the Hou family, and he has always been mature and prudent. He took a sip of tea and said gently: "Lord Zhou is probably being harassed frequently by His Majesty's side, and we really have to be careful of him getting out of control and using tricks that hurt both sides."

"Thank you for your reminder, my lord understands." Rong Youtang bowed his hands respectfully.During the turmoil that year, Guo Yuan did not show up for the whole process. No matter what the inside story was, the two sides did not mention a word, just pretending that nothing happened.

"Master Zhou is riding a tiger now." The counselor Wu Sipeng has become thinner due to illness in recent years, but his eyes are still wise and sharp. He asked politely: "Let me allow the old man to ask boldly: I don't know what countermeasures Master Rong has?"

"Yeah, come out and listen, we will help you plan." Guo Da urged with concern.

King Qing sat at the head, as steady as a bell, controlling the overall situation.

Rong Youtang's face was calm, and he said seriously: "The empress and the head of the state have passed away, but Dacheng still has the uncle of the state. Your Majesty is kind, and has granted the invitation to the emperor. The current Pingnan Hou Naixian is the younger brother of the empress, Yang Shengping."

"You want Yang Shengping to suppress Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou?" Guo Da was quite surprised.

"I heard that since the death of Mrs. Zhou, the two of them had a lot of trouble because of the funeral of the mistress and Miss Zhou. It will be even more indifferent." Wu Sipeng twitched his beard and pointed out truthfully: "Young Lord Yang has just become a prince, and he is busy attending to the funeral of the old Lord, so he must be in a state of desperation. If you want to provoke him to come out, it may not be easy."

Rong Youtang was confident, and talked eloquently: "According to the investigation, Yang Shengping was close to the deceased Mrs. Zhou's sister and younger brother. Mrs. Zhou kept the funeral ceremony simple. He was very dissatisfied and brought people to Zhou's house to make a big fuss, which made my brother-in-law very embarrassed. Now that he has become a prince, he urgently needs to establish his prestige, although the Pingnanhou's mansion is not as good as before, but it is more than enough to clean up the Zhou family." After a pause, he tried his best to tell objectively:

"For example, the Zhou family lost its mistress, and the eldest son of Zhou, Zhou Mingjie, was very angry. He had long been at odds with his father and concubine, Aunt Su, who was in charge of Zhongfu. He made a big fuss every three to five days, and the dogs and dogs were restless. The concubine is a thorn in the side, and the concubine and the concubine are in the same position—under such circumstances, it can be concluded that Master Zhou said that he raised my mother as a noble concubine, but he was just a threat, and he was always afraid of the Yue family."

"Then, can I ignore it? Forgive him for not daring to break his face." Guo Da tentatively suggested.

"No." Rong Youtang shook his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Let him mess around, how can I feel at ease if my dead mother knows? Besides, I've had enough!"

"You just go ahead and do it." King Qing instructed directly.

"Thank you for your support, Your Highness."

Rong Youtang bowed his head in thanks, forced himself to be calm, and spoke quickly: "The imperial court clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to go whoring in brothels. But Mr. Zhou is very romantic, and every time he rests, he must go to prostitutes. Right now, it is the time of the national father's funeral. , if this matter is revealed, he will be reprimanded and fined, or even lose his official position. In addition, I will try to imply that Zhou Mingjie asks his uncle for help. For the sake of dignity, Yang Shengping will not stand by and let them fight among themselves .besides……"

"What else?" King Qing was full of patience.

Rong Youtang took a deep breath, made up his mind, resolutely, and expressed his attitude word by word: "Your Highness, I know that we have been secretly investigating, if we find evidence that Mr. Zhou has done harm to His Highness or His Second Highness, please What to do, what to do, he will take the blame, I, I——I, Rong Youtang, is destined to be an unfilial son in this life."

"In order to uphold justice, those who kill their relatives with righteousness are precious. Mr. Rong is upright and tenacious, and I admire you." Wu Sipeng was very emotional.

Rong Youtang hurriedly waved his hands, and said bitterly: "Sir, you are really absurd. In the eyes of the world, I am already a rebel. Maybe I will go to hell after death."

"God has its own judgment on merits and demerits. To be a human being, one has to be clear of one's heart." King Qing comforted in a deep voice.

"We all understand your difficulty, and we will explain it to you when we are under the Nine Springs in the future." Guo Da promised solemnly.

"Thank you, General!" Rong Youtang solemnly clasped his fists.

"Zibuyu is strange, you should be more serious." King Qing smiled.

Wu Sipeng thought over and over again, nodded and said: "The current situation in Kyoto is complicated and unpredictable. It is not appropriate to cause more troubles. First, according to Mr. Rong's wishes, give a warning, and then find another way. By the way, when will King Guangping enter Beijing? What? Silently?"

"The Post reported that he has arrived in Guanzhong, and it is estimated that he will have an audience with His Majesty in five or six days. The capital will be lively then." Guo Da sighed.

"That's right." Wu Sipeng said worriedly, "We have to be careful, and be careful not to be pinched by two sides."

Recalling the chaos of some courtiers scrambling to impeach King Qing a few years ago, Rong Youtang stood up, bowed his hands, and said guiltily: "Because of my private affairs, I have troubled you all. I am really ashamed. Sigh, I may return to Beijing this time. It will implicate His Highness again—"

"Don't talk nonsense." King Qing interrupted with a frown.

Guo Yuan put down his teacup, and comforted him with a pleasant face: "Xiao Rong, you are worrying too much. Even without your presence, the opponent will do everything possible to find a gap to attack His Highness."

"Actually, that's not all that bad." Wu Sipeng smiled suddenly, sighed and pointed out: "Everyone, please think about it: when Mr. Rong is in the capital, opponents often swarm to attack His Highness's personal affairs; if there is no Mr. Rong, the opponents will We racked our brains to find other gaps. We know the former, but the latter is unpredictable and impossible to guard against, which is not good.”

Rong Youtang was stunned for a moment, unable to react, and blurted out: "If you hear it this way, I'm not entirely His Highness's stumbling block?"

"Hahaha~" Guo Da was overjoyed and laughed out loud.

"What stumbling block?" King Qing shook his head, feeling inexplicably sad, and earnestly taught: "Stupid, you are clearly my king's shield! Whenever you were in the capital, those who used to impeach King Qing for 'ruthlessness and violence' were often changed to impeach 'someone'. It's against ethics, the former is about temperament, and the latter involves personal morality, which is more important?"

Rong Youtang couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness is right! That's good, so I don't have to worry about dragging you down."

King Qing slowly glanced at everyone present, and said solemnly: "So, everyone in the world has misunderstood Sir Xiaorong. It is not beneficial for him to befriend this king in the long run, but this king has gained a solid shield for nothing, isn't it?"

"This..." Wu Sipeng was rarely speechless, hanging his head and twisting his beard.Although he agreed in his heart, Guo Yuan and Guo Da brothers were present, and he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut because he was concerned about Mrs. Guo who was eager for his grandson to get married.

"Huh?" Guo Da scratched his chin, pondered for a moment, and had to agree: "It seems to be true."

The other party spared no effort to defend himself, Rong Youtang was very moved, and said softly: "Your Highness is joking, I am just a nobody, and I cannot afford it."

"You deserve it, don't underestimate yourself." King Qing comforted him in a low voice, his eyes sparkled when he focused on it.

The two couldn't help but look at each other, and there was a lot of affection in an instant. It seemed that only each other was left in the study, and the others were invisible and silent.

for a while

"Ahem!" Guo Da cleared his throat, and tried his best to shrink into the chair, because he stood in front of Rong Youtang.

Rong Youtang woke up suddenly, feeling extremely embarrassed, and immediately sat upright, clasping his knees with his hands.

King Qing turned his head to look at Genglou, and actively urged: "It's getting late, everyone, go back and rest."

"Yes." Wu Sipeng obeyed respectfully.

"Good!" Guo Da couldn't wait to get out of his seat, he stretched hard, his joints creaked.

"Your Highness, please rest as soon as possible." Guo Yuan said goodbye sternly: "Zi Yan and I are going back home first."

King Qing nodded: "Go."

"Resign, old man." Wu Sipeng then left.

King Qing nodded.

Rong Youtang took a glance out of the corner of his eye and understood it, and stayed at the end generously.

moment

"What orders does Your Highness have?" Rong Youtang asked with a smile.

King Qing used to keep a straight face, and asked straight to the point: "You have served in Xizhou for three years, if someone asks you to be re-elected, will you agree?"

"Re-elected?" Rong Youtang clasped his hands together, circling his thumbs briskly.

"This king thinks it's inappropriate, but you have always had ideas, which is really worrying." King Qing said frankly.

Rong Youtang blushed immediately, and immediately explained: "How have I ever ignored your opinion? Don't worry, Your Highness, at this time and that time, it was a last resort back then, and even His Majesty had spoken, so I had to leave. But now the situation has changed, and I will stay with you." Beijing is more likely, let’s just wait and see what happens, it is estimated that there will be a decree around the Wanshou Festival at the latest.”

"So, you're not leaving?" King Qing couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Don't go!"

Rong Youtang brushed off the sleeves of his robe vigorously, stood up and strode towards the main seat, and said impassionedly: "Except Your Majesty, no one will drive me away with sticks!"

"Who dares to drive you away with a stick?" King Qing put on a sullen face, and naturally stretched out his arms to hug him, but he was pulled up vigorously. Rong Youtang politely invited: "The snow has stopped and the night is just right. Can your highness show you some face? Go for a walk in the garden?"

"Okay." King Qing readily agreed.

Inside the Imperial Palace · Imperial Study Room

"Your Majesty, please have a look." Chief Assistant Lu Zixing respectfully presented the drafted edict.

Emperor Chengtian took it, squinted his eyes and inspected it for a while, then nodded and said: "Build the seal."

"Yes."

"Read it tomorrow morning." Emperor Chengtian ordered.

"But..." Lu Zixing hesitated to speak.

The silver-haired Emperor Chengtian raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "Do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, the appointment and dismissal of three high-ranking members of the household department in one fell swoop, is the transfer too big?" Lu Zixing reminded tactfully.

Emperor Chengtian played with the number beads calmly, with an air of nobility that overwhelmed him, and said majesticly: "It's okay, I just took this opportunity to see the adaptability of civil and military officials, hum."
