Chapter 548 Lin Wei (2)
After Mo Cong left for a long time, Liu Min looked at his palm in a daze. What exactly is it that he could help him do? He knew Jiang Ruan's ability. The current situation was naturally unfavorable to Jiang Ruan. She really had the ability to turn the tide. The hand she wanted to borrow was his own hands, and he, an incompetent scholar, could he really do it? Liu Min slowly clenched her fists, and the confused look in her eyes gradually began to fade, and there was a hint of perseverance in her expression. In any case, she had to give it a try.
That night, Liu Min changed into a brown coarse linen. In addition to the official robe, he always made his own clothes by his mother, and he was also quite delicate and decent. Now wearing a dress of linen, it seems that he was back when he was still a poor student, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Compared to the many pairs of glasses staring at others outside the mansion, Liu Min is extremely safe. First, he is a tutor and has no real power. Second, his character is obvious to everyone, and it is impossible to collude with anyone. Such a person is alone and has no threat to him. When Liu Min goes out by herself, there is no place to follow.
He came to a remote tavern, which had a back hall in it, and a separate room on the second floor of the back hall. When he walked to the door, he saw Mo Cong who was waiting outside lit up his eyes and said, "You are here, come, go in."
Liu Min didn't know who was inside, so Mo Cong pushed in. Mo Cong said, "Third brother, fourth brother, the person has arrived, I'll go out first." After that, he pulled Liu Min's sleeve and closed the door without waiting for Liu Min to say more.
Then Liu Min looked up at the person sitting in the room.
The house is not spacious or small, it looks like an ordinary tavern room. There was one person sitting at the table and the other standing by the window. The person sitting at the table was dressed in purple clothes and had a handsome face. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. When the man saw him, he got up and bowed to Liu Min: "Teacher Liu."
As soon as his decent move came out, Liu Min remembered that this man was also a colleague in the court, named Qi Feng, who was of moderate rank and had not entered the palace for many years. Liu Min had very few when he saw him. Moreover, Qi Feng always had a bunch of beards, which looked quite distinctive. Who knew that now he had a beard cut, and Liu Min didn't recognize it. He also bowed and said, "Master Qi." After that, he looked at the man in front of the window again.
This man Liu Min was very familiar with him. He was wearing only a black gold brocade robe, with a tall figure, leaning against the window and lowering his eyes while playing with a dagger in his hand. His facial features were extremely beautiful. Who would it be if it weren't Xiao Shao?
Liu Min suddenly remembered some old things. He had also met Xiao Shao. When he entered the court as an official, he had already heard Xiao Shao's deeds from the crowd. Naturally, he knew that the Jinying Palace was a family of traitors. Later, when Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao had an entanglement, he advised Jiang Ruan not to trap him in. In fact, his words did not play any role in the end, and he could even see clearly at that time that Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao had a close relationship, and they were probably already old acquaintances.
Liu Min always had a complicated mood for Xiao Shao. He knew that the emperor trusted this person, but he was a little suspicious of this person. But later he saw that Xiao Shao treated Jiang Ruan with sincere care, as if those unwillingness had slowly dispersed. But even so, he still felt embarrassed in front of this young man, which was the embarrassment of a winner.
Xiao Shao did not look at Liu Min. He focused on playing with the dagger in his hand, as if he could only focus on doing his own thing. But when he looked carefully, he felt that he had not looked at the dagger at all, and there was nothing in his eyes.
Qi Feng coughed lightly, interrupting Liu Min's gaze. He smiled and said, "Teacher Liu, please sit down."
Liu Min retracted her thoughts and saw that Qi Feng had no intention of calling Xiao Shao, so she realized that this was just a conversation between the two of them, at least not as good as a direct communication with Xiao Shao. For some reason, he felt relieved. Then he sat down and looked up at the man in purple in front of him: "Did you call me here?"
"That's right." Qi Feng smiled slightly, and raised the teapot on one side and poured a cup of tea for Liu Min: "Don't be surprised. I think Mo Cong told you before that I would like to ask Master Liu to come over. I have something to ask for." After a pause, he continued: "And this matter was proposed by the third sister-in-law in the mansion."
Liu Min's expression was still, but she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She was not very familiar with Qi Feng, but she also knew that Qi Feng was as inconspicuous as his official position in the court. Such a person did not even have the power to influence the overall situation, so he naturally would not be in the eyes of those who fought for the throne. Who knew that Qi Feng's statement now not only showed his relationship with Mo Cong and the Prince Jinying's Mansion, but also revealed a message that Qi Feng himself was a not simple person.
Such a not-so-simple person, who was in the court but had no movement for many years, endured to be a moderate official position. Is there any purpose in this? Liu Min is not a nerd who studies hard. Some of the previous dynasty usurped power was heard in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Could it be... Xiao Shao wanted to proclaim himself king?
The Jinying Palace has always been known as a traitor. If he proclaimed himself as a king, he would not have failed this reputation. But if this was true, Liu Min had already made up his mind that even Jiang Ruan would not succeed. He would never help the evil and become an accomplice of usurping power.
Seeing that Liu Min's face became increasingly ugly, Qi Feng seemed to guess what he was thinking and smiled and said, "Master Liu knows what the situation is in the court now?" Without waiting for Liu Min to speak, he said to himself: "Your Majesty died suddenly. The Empress Dowager is old and the country cannot be without a king for a day. The master of the world will one day take the seat. Now there are only two princes, the Eighth Highness and the Thirteenth Highness. These two are equal."
Liu Min said coldly: "What do you want to say?" Qi Feng's words clearly meant to discuss the issue of the king of the Dajin Dynasty with him. This is a rebellious word. Liu Min could almost conclude that what Qi Feng wanted to say next must be related to the battle for the throne. Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Shao who was leaning against the window, and anger arose in his heart. Xiao Shao thought so, had he ever thought about where to place Jiang Ruan? A beautiful woman wanted to live in the world and was easily prone to cause trouble. Jiang Ruan had gained a reputation for climbing to a high branch because of Xiao Shao. Now Xiao Shao did this, but he wanted that woman to be criticized by the world for the witch who caused trouble in the country? Since he married someone else, why didn't he take good care of him and why did he ruin it like this?
Qi Feng smiled slightly and said, "I want to know what Grand Tutor Liu means. His Thirteenth and Eighth Highness, from the perspective of Grand Tutor Liu, who is suitable to be the future crown prince of the Dajin Dynasty?"
