Chapter 83 Lonely Ghost
Zhou Tieyi had a dinner at Changsun Mansion.
He returned to Zhou Mansion in the carriage arranged by Changsun Mansion.
In the carriage, Zhou Tieyi looked out the window at the magnificent scenery of Yujing Mountain. He saw gorgeous shops on both sides, and people walking around wearing silk and satin clothes. He even felt like he was in an antique luxury street.
Such a beautiful scenery would attract heroes from all over the world to compete for it.
Zhou Tieyi sighed from the bottom of his heart.
In the morning, he handed the invitations to Si Lu and Si Min and then the Zhou family declared war on the two offices.
This is no joke.
He wanted to be a jester, and a jester for all eternity, enjoying the emperor's favor alone.
Then you can only be a lone minister.
Fortunately, the emperor of this world is invincible in Tianjing and does not have to worry about military power, otherwise it would be even more difficult for their Zhou family.
Once a political struggle begins, it will be a storm before a new balance is found.
I absolutely cannot let my guard down at all.
So the first step is to find your own mistakes.
As the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the head of the Zhou family's disciples, Chang Sun Dan must have a record in his hands.
He went to settle the accounts much faster than himself and the Zhou family.
Even because I'm not in the main seat, I can see it more clearly.
As for the Zhou family’s own account.
Zhou Tieyi smiled.
The Zhou family has been second-class generals for three generations and three hundred years. If there were any crimes in the family, the Zhou family would have been wiped out long ago, because their IQ is not enough to support such power.
In the words of Confucianism, this is called being unworthy of one's position.
It’s not that the Zhou family is very clean.
But under this kind of power, if the Zhou family wants to do something bad or immoral, they no longer have to do it themselves. Just a look or a sigh is enough.
For example, for what I did today, naturally the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice will take the blame for me.
It is even possible that the Zhou family is completely unaware of many bad and immoral things, and the servants simply misunderstood the meaning.
I have been blessed today.
There is another important signal.
That means he has been freed from the "Plea Form".
A few days ago, the Confucians did not take action against me and were willing to give in to me. On the one hand, they were repaying grievances with justice, but on the other hand, their sage still tied me to the "Beggar's Letter"!
And today, after I published an article that will be remembered for generations, His Majesty has given me many rewards. This shows that His Majesty wants to protect me!
The emperor wants to protect himself, so Confucianists naturally won't agree.
On the contrary, the conflict with the Queen Mother became a trivial matter. Even in the fight against Confucianism, he and the Queen Mother had a tacit understanding that they would not hold each other back, otherwise the Confucianism would only gain the upper hand.
Although Zhou Tieyi didn't say a word to the queen.
But based on the Queen's words today, "an article for all ages", Zhou Tieyi knew that the Queen's rank was very high and her chess skills were at least better than his.
I just borrowed the Taoist luck and took the initiative.
There is still a long way to go to win or lose.
After all, everyone lives longer.
It would certainly not be an easy task for Confucianism to clean up itself and the Zhou family directly.
Therefore, if the Confucians were to take action, they would definitely start with the Zhou family’s disciples and former officials.
One advantage of military strategy is that it can work together.
But this is also a disadvantage.
Just like if I had something to do and stood in front of Yuchi Mansion for two hours, the Right General would definitely come to see me.
For a military hero, if he cannot protect his subordinates, he is like a dead person. There is no such thing as a coward.
Especially in this era, military strategists need to establish a brotherhood directly with the soldiers. If you don't protect your subordinates, no one will recognize you as a general!
Therefore, if anything happens to Zhou family's disciples and former officials, he will definitely be implicated.
At that time, every move you make will be under the eyes of Confucianism, and no sand will be tolerated.
It would be better to let the Minister of Justice settle the accounts first.
Even if the Confucians wanted to settle the accounts, it couldn't be faster than taking the account book to settle the accounts! Unless the Confucians were crazy.
Learn from myself how to cut the Gordian knot in the God-Slaying Division.
But when he slashed it with his sword, he cut off half of the way for officials to get promoted, and now this problem has not been resolved yet.
What about Confucianists? Do they dare to strike at the gray area of corruption among officials?
In that case, the emperor would not tolerate them! The other schools of thought would not tolerate them either! Even they themselves would split into several factions!
Fighting corruption is a science, a profound subject that cannot be rushed.
As he was thinking, the carriage drove back to Zhou's mansion.
Before he could even enter the door, a servant knelt down in panic.
"Zhou Zongqi, please go and see our young master!"
Zhou Tieyi's eyes fell on the servant. He remembered that this was the doorman of the Mei Mansion yesterday.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Tieyi first went to the mansion to invite Senior Sister Miaoyu to go with him, and then said, "Lead the way."
As he got back into the carriage, he sighed sincerely.
"No music to disturb my ears, no paperwork to tire my body. Today I finally know."
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Mei Mansion again, it was already completely dark.
Mrs. Mei did not bother with any formalities, but led Zhou Tieyi directly into Mei Juncang's bedroom. Senior Sister Miaoyu was drinking tea outside.
There was no light on in the bedroom.
Only a pair of dim eyes looked at him, like a wolf.
But Zhou Tieyi was not an ordinary person. He ordered Madam Mei to light the lamp and said with a smile, "I thought you had mastered the mysterious power of the Legalist's 'Dongyou' after not seeing you for two days."
The sixth grade of Legalism is "Dongyou".
Warm light illuminated the inner room. Mei Juncang was lying on the bed. His hair and beard were all white, but his whole person was very strange. The third-grade pill Xiao Zhoutian Dan was constantly keeping him alive and repairing the damage to his body.
But his mind was like a broken jar, constantly shedding its energy.
It gives people a contradictory feeling of being both old and full of vitality.
Zhou Tieyi looked at Madam Mei and said, "You go out first. Jun Cang and I will talk alone."
Mei Juncang didn't answer, just looked at Zhou Tieyi.
Zhou Tieyi walked step by step to the couch and sat down unceremoniously.
He sighed, "I can't bear to see you like this."
Mei Juncang became more energetic, his wolf eyes became even more intimidating, even Zhou Tieyi felt the hairs on his back stand up.
Although he roughly guessed how the Confucians would treat Mei Juncang, he did not expect them to be so cruel.
I also didn't expect that the elixirs in this world were so mysterious.
Let a person wander around the gates of hell.
If this person really returns to the Yang.
So is the one who came back a human or a ghost?
"Teacher, do you feel that you have done something wrong to me?"
Mei Juncang's cold words have a kind of magic that can directly torture Zhou Tieyi's heart.
But Zhou Tieyi was not afraid, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Mei Juncang sighed and closed his eyes slightly, and the wolf-like look in his eyes weakened a lot.
"Of course I have done nothing wrong to my Mei family. That article could indeed save my father. It's just that I don't have the ability. My Mei family is not worthy of this position!"
He lay down for a day and suddenly understood all the problems that he had not figured out before.
Why did this incident start, why did Zhou Tieyi say that he was forced by his father, and can the method Zhou Tieyi gave save Mei Qingchen?
Everything.
Zhou Tieyi never told any lies and has a clear conscience!
It’s just that his Mei family is stupid.
His father was stubborn and insisted on kneeling at the Noon Gate.
It was useless for him to get anyone to write a petition for mercy.
Even if an old friend of the Mei family had written about it, Mei Juncang would not be like this lonely ghost!
