Chapter 174: None of them are good birds, Jiang Qingzhi's divine judgment
Lu Bing felt a little uneasy.
After returning to the Jinyiwei Yamen, he found Shen Lian.
"Is there any method of concentrating the mind in the study of the mind?"
Don't laugh. In this era, the so-called schools are, to some extent, similar to sects.
For example, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism complement each other and integrate with each other. Confucianism is originally a kind of learning, but after integrating many views of Taoism and Buddhism, it also has some flavor of cultivation.
The same is true of Saint Wang’s philosophy of mind.
The schools of thought in the Central Plains often regard self-cultivation as the highest goal.
As a result, the more later generations pondered, the more complicated it became, so they simply mystified the words of the ancients, resulting in only a very small number of people being able to learn and understand these knowledge.
This also makes it extremely difficult to popularize knowledge.
Shen Lian said: "There is such a method in the study of the mind, but if the mind is disturbed by the command, how can one comprehend my master's method of mind?"
Lu Bing closed his eyes and waved his hands.
Shen Lian took two steps, turned around and said, "Jiang Qingzhi is a rare general. Why don't you shake hands with him and make peace?"
Lu Bing said nothing.
Shen Lian sighed, "There are no talented generals in the court right now. If Jiang Qingzhi wins more and more victories and becomes more famous, has the commander ever thought about how to deal with it?"
He continued, "The commander has pulled up a big net through marriage, but at one end of this net stands Your Majesty, who holds the supreme divine weapon. Once Your Majesty makes up his mind, he only needs to lightly swing his sword, and this net will be shattered."
The marriage of Lu Bing's family is a microcosm of the marriage of the powerful in the Ming Dynasty. People in this class tied each other together through marriage. The purpose was naturally not for the Ming Dynasty.
But it is for promotion and wealth, and for the long-term prosperity of the family.
"Your Majesty may not be thinking of moving this network at the moment, but if the commander continues to be close to the Yan Party, I think that day is not far away."
Seeing that Lu Bing was unmoved, Shen Lian smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty needs checks and balances. The commander has been playing both sides for too long. The appearance of Jiang Qingzhi has given Your Majesty a new choice..."
"Go!" Lu Bing said quietly.
"Yes." Shen Lian took his leave.
Lu Bing suddenly laughed.
"Originally, I was the only person His Majesty could trust, but now there is Jiang Qingzhi.
I know I should distance myself from the Yan Party, but the political world is ruthless, and the consequences of going it alone are either losing power halfway or being ruined, as Xia Yan is an example. If I don't stick with the Yan Party, then who can I rely on? "
"Commander."
Someone came in, "Captain Zhu is back."
Lu Bing narrowed his eyes and said, "Let him in."
Zhu Hao came in and knelt down.
The room was silent.
Lu Bing stood up and looked at a painting on the wall with his hands behind his back.
"There are always many things that people have to do in their lives, and I am no exception. There are not many Jinyiwei commanders who can finish their work well. I wanted to retire to the countryside, but I have made countless enemies over the years, so how can I have peace? For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I can only persevere."
Zhu Hao lowered his head and trembled.
"Some people say it's cold up there, yes! It's cold up there. But anyone who has stood at a high place will be reluctant to give up the unobstructed view. I am no exception."
"Jiang Qingzhi is here. He seems to be born hostile to me, and so am I. His Majesty is increasingly trusting Jiang Qingzhi, while I am increasingly being ignored."
Lu Bing turned around and walked in front of Zhu Hao. "Jinyiwei is the emperor's lackeys. How do they survive? The emperor trusts them. When the emperor no longer trusts them, Ji Gang will be a lesson for them!"
Lu Bing asked: "Do you know how Ji Gang died?"
Zhu Hao looked up and saw the murderous intent in Lu Bing's eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "Commander..."
"It's cutting off the flesh piece by piece. It's called Lingchi!"
Lu Bing kicked Zhu Hao to the ground, took out a whip and beat him hard.
Zhu Hao rolled on the ground after being beaten, but he didn't dare to scream.
The only sounds in the room were the whip breaking through the air, the sound of whipping people, and the sound of panting...
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Bing threw away the whip, panting, and looked out the door.
Shen Lian stood outside the door.
"Jiang Qingzhi had just entered the palace, and the East Factory Governor Rui Jingxian went to greet him."
Lu Bing raised his eyes and asked, "Is Rui Jingxian going to go against my Jinyiwei?"
Shen Lian said: "The commander forgot that the governor of the East Factory came to welcome him personally. This is the honor that His Majesty gave to Chang Wei Bo."
……
Jiang Qingzhi would rather not have this respectability.
"...Chang Wei Bo's timing of action was perfect. To be honest, those monkeys in the East Factory racked their brains to find clues about the assassin. They couldn't have Chang Wei Bo's godlike means of using troops."
Rui Jingxian was like a poisonous snake, with its tongue slightly sticking out.
This guy is not a good person. He has done a lot of bad things since he took charge of the East Factory.
When he met Emperor Jiajing, the Taoist was petting a cat.
When Shuangmei saw Jiang Qingzhi, she meowed and wanted to come over, but was held down by the Taoist priest.
"Meow!"
Frost eyebrow turned back dissatisfied.
Daoye raised his eyes, "Proud?"
The guessing game is here again... Jiang Qingzhi said, "A little bit."
Emperor Jiajing said calmly: "The Jinyiwei are too utilitarian and only want to catch assassins."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Jiang Qingzhi felt that Emperor Jiajing's intelligence was a gift from heaven, and he could find the truth of things from clues with just a little help.
"I originally wanted to give you a setback, but I didn't expect that it would help you become famous for your ability to investigate cases like a god. But it's a good thing. The Jinyiwei have been too complacent recently, and the Ministry of Justice is incompetent. It's a good opportunity to teach them a lesson."
Frost Eyebrow was struggling, Jiang Qingzhi gave it a look, then sucked its lips and teased it softly.
But Shuangmei couldn't break free from Taoist's hand, so she just held that hand and swung on the swing.
Jiang Qingzhi's eyes moved upwards and met Dao Ye's.
He said awkwardly: "Frosty Eyebrows looks quite lovely today."
"What do you think of Lu Bing?" Emperor Jiajing suddenly asked.
Uh!
Jiang Qingzhi blurted out, "It's not a good bird, but it's not that bad either."
Historically, Lu Bing was able to have a good ending because he was very versatile and built a protection network for himself through marriage and close proximity to the Yan Party.
Second, no matter what Lu Bing did, he knew that Emperor Jiajing was his breadwinner. When Emperor Jiajing faced a crisis, Lu Bing would stand on the side of his brother without hesitation.
If you say he is a bad person, compared to many ministers, Lu Bing is a good person.
If you say he is a good person, without Lu Bing, the Yan Party would not be so rampant.
"Good or bad, right or wrong..." Emperor Jiajing slowly closed his eyes.
You are...
Jiang Qingzhi thought of the last time Taoist priest was in a coma.
The imperial doctors had different opinions and no one dared to make a final decision. In the end, the Taoist priest diagnosed himself... I am fine, get out of here!
At first Jiang Qingzhi was worried that the Taoist priest had taken too many elixirs, but then he thought that the same thing happened to Taoist priests in history, and they did not die young.
His mind was full of random thoughts, and after some time, he came to a conclusion.
"I'm afraid the Taoist is bored."
"Daoye, who?"
Uh!
Jiang Qingzhi looked at the Taoist priest who had been staring at him for some time and laughed dryly, "If I said it was you..."
Cui Yuan came to ask for an audience with Emperor Jiajing for something. As soon as he arrived outside the palace, he saw Jiang Qingzhi rushing out.
"rude!"
Cui Yuanzheng was angry because Jiang Qingzhi solved the assassination case, so it made sense for him not to take the opportunity to scold him when he saw this.
call out!
Bah!
Cui Yuan stood outside the hall, his body swaying a few times.
Fell heavily.
Beside him, the Taoist priest's wooden fish rolled a few times on the ground.
……
How cruel!
Jiang Qingzhi didn't expect that the Taoist priest would be so angry and humiliated.
Poor Cui Yuan.
But Lu Bing was lucky, the Taoist's anger just dissipated.
"The Royal Guards are incompetent, and I am guilty."
"The Royal Guards are incompetent, and you are guilty!"
Emperor Jiajing looked at his foster brother, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Lu Bing lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, all the murderers were killed by Long Wei Bo. The only survivor...died at his hands."
Lu Bing swore that he did not exaggerate.
But it led to roars, "Get out!"
Lu Bing fled in a panic.
Rui Jingxian sneered, and then added, "Your Majesty, the East Factory has checked those who took action, and most of them are from Yunnan. Especially that woman, some people say that she might be a retainer of Mu Chaobi, who is good at poisoning. She was strangled to death by Chang Weibo himself."
The reason why a venomous snake is venomous is that it will bite you whenever it gets the chance.
But Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and Rui Jingxian left in disappointment.
Huang Jin sneered as he left, and heard Emperor Jiajing say, "Mu Chaobi is in charge of Yunnan. If we force him to turn against us now, the southwest will be in turmoil. It's better for him to die."
Huang Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."
He thought of the word "Daoye" that Jiang Qingzhi had blurted out earlier, and couldn't help laughing.
But Emperor Jiajing's eyes were complicated.
Who would care whether he is lonely or bored?
That idiot!
Emperor Jiajing stroked the cracked wooden fish, and Huang Jin asked for instructions immediately, "Your Majesty, this is clearly a defective product. I will ask them to make a new wooden fish later..."
Emperor Jiajing looked at the wooden fish and shook his head.
"That's it. It's good."
……
Jiang Qingzhi swore that he would kill the woman who liked to play with snakes. His purpose was just to allow Mu Chaobi to continue to split the Mu family, ruin the Mu family's reputation, and pave the way for his subsequent plans. However, he did not expect that the Taoist priest thought that he was understanding the difficulties of the court.
So people who are lucky will have good luck wherever they go.
As soon as I entered the alley, I heard someone shouting.
"The list of winners is open!"
Xiao Zhuo's servant ran over and shouted when he saw Jiang Qingzhi: "Master, I am rude."
The servant didn't even bother to greet him and ran away.
Xiao Zhuo just came down from the government office and saw Jiang Qingzhi, he bowed and said, "Master."
"How's life in the Ministry of Rites lately?"
Xiao Zhuo was the first civil servant to defect to Jiang Qingzhi, and Jiang Qingzhi attached great importance to him.
"It's not bad. No one dares to mess with it." Xiao Zhuo was quite optimistic.
No one dares to provoke it, but most people try to avoid it.
"Don't worry." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not in a hurry." Following this young nobleman, Xiao Zhuo felt that there were more opportunities.
"Your teacher..."
"He is extremely talented. I think he will win this time." Xiao Zhuo really thinks Xu Wei is very talented. "It would be unfair if he doesn't win."
"Justice?" Xiao Zhuo heard the boss whisper, "Many times, justice wants you to continue to sink..."
When they returned home, Xiao Mo and Xiao Jin were waiting for the servant to come back. Xu Wei was drinking outside and when he saw Xiao Zhuo, he bowed with a confident look on his face.
Xiao Zhuo smiled and said, "I will prepare for the Spring Examination. I have some contemporary literature books at home. Mr. Xu, you can take a look at them."
Xu Wei said proudly, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
"Dad, did I hear you talking to Chang Wei Bo before?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Ok!"
Xiao Zhuo sat down, and Xiao Jin served him tea. Xiao Zhuo took a sip and said with a smile, "My uncle said that Mr. Xu might have a hard time getting through this stage."
Hey!
Xu Wei just wanted to come in, and after hearing this, he became furious.
"If it doesn't work, I'll just follow him! If it works, I'll definitely go to his house and ask him what he means by that!"
Xiao Zhuo gave a dry laugh.
Xiao Jin complained, "Dad, the teacher is very talented. If he failed, then the examiner must be blind."
"came back!"
Someone shouted at the gate.
The three members of the Xiao family raised their eyes.
Xu Wei turned around.
Clench your fists.
I am Xu Wei!
Will be in!
The servant came over slowly.
Bow down.
"I have looked through the list, and I don't see your name."
