Chapter 979 Chu Suiliang is scheming and greedy for merit
Wei Shuyu said: "My father has ordered my nephew to come and retrieve the manuscript that was previously given to Chu Shishu."
Chu Suiliang was stunned and asked quickly: "Why?"
Wei Shuyu hesitated and said: "My father...maybe he has changed his mind?"
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he almost cried with excitement.
Old Wei, have you finally woken up?
Do you know how much suffering your brother has endured these days?
Chu Suiliang and Wei Zheng had a very good relationship, which can be described as "a close relationship with no regrets". They both love calligraphy and can be called close friends at this point. The most important thing is that it was Wei Zheng who recommended Chu Suiliang, who was well-versed in law studies, as a living minister in front of His Majesty Li Er, who often accompanied the emperor. His Majesty Li Er loved his calligraphy, so Chu Suiliang was replaced by an ordinary literary young man. The dead Yu Shinan suddenly became a famous person beside His Majesty Li Er.
This is the gift of knowing someone!
Wei Zhengneng delivered the manuscript recording his life's opinions and advice to Chu Suiliang, which shows his trust in him. But Chu Suiliang got this manuscript, but he was struggling with sleep and food day and night, not knowing what to do.
My hair has turned a lot gray...
This manuscript is simply a hot potato. Take it out and record it to tell the world that Wei Zheng's goal has been achieved, but His Majesty Li Er's image is completely ruined. He, Chu Suiliang, has no roots and no bottom. He relied on the Holy Family to get to where he is today. How can he end up well if he offends the big boss?
If he does not take it out, or gives it to His Majesty Li Er privately, then not only will his status be worry-free, but he will also be able to further gain His Majesty Li Er's trust. But in this way, Wei Zheng was let down. The unjust person that Old Wei entrusted to him before his death was afraid that people would come to settle accounts with him in the underworld, right?
Chu Suiliang almost went crazy because he couldn't do anything about it.
After weighing the importance and considering his own future, Chu Suiliang gradually tended to let Wei Zheng down and handed the manuscript to His Majesty Li Er privately. There is no way, although friendship is important, how can it be more important than the future?
At most, I can wait until Old Wei dies and take more care of his family to make up for today’s regrets...
What he thought was good was not the case.
A selfish person who would betray his friends and benefactors for the sake of his future, how could he fight for something irrelevant?
After Wei Zheng's death, it was he who handed this manuscript to His Majesty Li Er, which made His Majesty Li Er furious. He smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone and canceled the marriage between Princess Hengshan and Wei Shuyu. What was Chu Suiliang doing at that time?
He didn't do anything, just watched silently...
Of course, this is a later story.
Hearing that Wei Shuyu said that Wei Zheng wanted to get the manuscript back, Chu Suiliang felt that the big stone in his heart suddenly disappeared, the sky turned blue and the clouds turned white. He took a long breath and felt comfortable. He smiled happily and said: "Your Majesty, you have finally figured it out? Oops. , this is indeed a good thing . I tried to dissuade my father several times, but I always refused to listen. Although I knew that it was extremely inappropriate to publish these manuscripts, I was grateful for the kindness of my father and our friendship, so I couldn't bear to refuse and was in a dilemma. "
How did Wei Shuyu know that it had anything to do with whether these manuscripts were published or not?
I had no choice but to follow Chu Suiliang's words and say: "Yes, my father has been in better spirits these days. He probably thought more carefully and changed his mind."
He wouldn't say that it was Fang Junxiang's persuasion that made his father change his mind, nor did he think that stick had that ability.
Chu Suiliang also thought that Wei Zheng had figured it out on his own, and was very happy. He placed a pile of manuscripts neatly wrapped in jute paper on the top of the bookcase, handed them to Wei Shuyu, and said, "They are all here. These are my father's lifetime treasures." Your hard work must be preserved well.”
As for what to do if these manuscripts are circulated again in the future, Chu Suiliang doesn't care at all. Anyway, it will have nothing to do with him by then, and there is no way to blame him...
Wei Shuyu took the manuscript and said goodbye.
He was poor at speaking and sociable, and he didn't know what to say even if he sat for a while.
Chu Suiliang shook his head slightly, "Tiger father and dog son!"
Wei Zheng had been as strong and eloquent throughout his life. Who would have thought that when he gave birth to a son, he would turn out to be a dull, dull gourd?
After sitting in the study for a while, Chu Suiliang felt that now that Wei Zheng had taken the manuscript back, the matter was over. If I can mention this matter to His Majesty Li Er, not only will it not affect Wei Zheng, but I will also appear to be considerate of Your Majesty...
Chu Suiliang, who was good at sneaking into camp, immediately changed his clothes, went out and took a carriage straight to the palace.
He was the living minister, the closest official to the emperor. He was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds. Naturally, the imperial guards would not stop him. He was led by a chamberlain and went straight to the Dragon Palace, the emperor's residence.
Chu Suiliang entered the main hall and found that another minister was being received by His Majesty.
It's Fang Jun...
His Majesty Li Er was talking to Fang Jun about something. When he saw Chu Suiliang, he was a little surprised and said: "Why did Dengshan enter the palace? If I remember correctly, you are not on duty today."
Dengshan is the name of Chu Suiliang.
Chu Suiliang saluted and said, "I have met Your Majesty, and there is something I want to tell Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Jun.
Fang Jun stood up and said: "The humble minister will leave for now..."
"Hey, it's okay."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand for Fang Jun to sit down, smiled at Chu Suiliang and said, "If you have anything to do, just speak up. Fang Jun is not an outsider."
Chu Suiliang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred!
What kind of honor is it for the emperor to say "he is not an outsider"?
Isn't it just because you have a good father and a good wife?
Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Chu Suiliang handed Wei Zhengming's manuscript recording his usual remarks to him.
His Majesty Li Er immediately became angry!
"What does Wei Zheng want to do? Use my image to reflect Wei Zheng's good reputation? Old man, I'm not done with you! Come here, bring this old man Wei Zheng to the palace for me. I want to ask him face to face, what's wrong with him?" Is it full of wolf heart and dog lung? ”
No wonder His Majesty Li Er is so angry.
Regardless of whether the relationship between him and Wei Zheng is "a wise king and a wise minister" on the surface or "mutual use" secretly, or whether His Majesty Li Er is setting up a model of Wei Zheng to reflect his own image of being good at accepting advice. In short, Li Er His Majesty is definitely magnanimous. He once made a promise to Wei Zheng in front of others - start well and end well!
Since we have been performing this drama for a lifetime, we will continue to perform it until the end of time...
It is said that if someone acts a play for a lifetime, the fake play will become a real play.
At that time, the sage king and the virtuous ministers complement each other, and it will be a good story that will be passed down through the ages. Both of them will find their own place, so why not?
But now Wei Zheng actually stopped acting. Not only did he stop acting, he also wanted to direct another play by himself!
How can His Majesty Li Er endure this?
If this manuscript is circulated after Wei Zheng's death, the nature of the matter will fundamentally change. Wei Zheng is still the iron-clad critic of the generation, upright, upright, strong and noble, and His Majesty Li Er is the negative example that reflects Wei Zheng's greatness...
Moreover, the angrier His Majesty Li Er becomes and the more he punishes Wei Zheng's descendants, the more great Wei Zheng becomes!
The old man is really insidious!
His Majesty Li Er is furious!
Chu Suiliang was completely dumbfounded. This was not what he expected!
In his opinion, although Wei Zheng made mistakes, he was able to correct his mistakes and correct them, which showed that he was grateful to His Majesty Li Er for his kindness and kindness over the years. After all, if it had been another emperor, Wei Zheng would not have been killed long ago. ……
Facing a Wei Zheng who was grateful for his kindness and stopped at the brink, His Majesty Li Er should be pleased. Why is he so angry?
Chu Suiliang secretly complained, if Wei Zheng was brought to confront him in court, wouldn't he be a human being inside and out?
He quickly dissuaded him and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Duke Zheng is also confused for a moment..."
"Fart! Is this just a moment of confusion? This is going to put me in a situation that is beyond redemption. This is going to make me bear the infamy of being a foolish king for eternity! Chu Suiliang, you are nothing! Wei Zheng handed you this manuscript, why did you Didn't you tell me about it until Wei Zheng got the manuscript? If Wei Zheng didn't change his mind, would you have secretly recorded it and passed it on to future generations? "
His Majesty Li Er was furious and pointed at Chu Suiliang's nose and cursed.
Chu Suiliang's old face turned pale, with cold sweat dripping down his face. He was frightened to death by His Majesty Li Er's anger, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty knows this. How dare I have such selfish motives? It's Wei who After the minister tried hard to persuade him, Zheng Guogong changed his mind and took back the manuscript. The minister just didn't want to cause discord between His Majesty and Zheng Guogong, so he concealed it and did not report it. Your Majesty knows this!"
Chu Suiliang was also able to gain wisdom out of desperation, and attributed Wei Zheng's change of heart to his own persuasion.
In fact, he did persuade him several times, but the problem is that Wei Zheng didn't listen at all... (End of Chapter)
