Chapter 190 If the poor rise up, can the aristocratic families still control the government?
Tongzhi Yao was sitting in the front hall waiting for Shang Yan.
"Go ahead."
Su Rutang let go of Shang Yan's hand, but Shang Yan held it back.
"I don't need to hide my affairs from you. It's better for you to be taken advantage of by someone in the future without knowing the truth. Why don't we reveal it now? After all, you and I are of the same mind."
Shang Yan knew Su Rutang's determination.
Su Rutang turned his head and looked at him, saying slowly:
"Just go and do your work. I have plenty of money. If you want some, just tell me."
The Jinyiwei’s lack of money has been a long-standing problem.
There were often people from the Jinyiwei who found excuses to extort money, but when Shang Yan became the commander, he only allowed them to be a little greedy when they searched people's houses.
On weekdays, you are not allowed to accept gifts from shops on the street.
He won't pay less.
But the salary is more than a drop in the bucket for those people in the Jinyiwei.
"I'll pay you back later."
Su Rutang smiled, "What do you want to pay back?"
Shang Yan just smiled without saying anything, holding Su Rutang's hand and walked into the front hall.
Yao Tongzhi stood up and saluted.
Su Rutang returned the gift.
"Please sit down." Shang Yan sat down first. "Is there any news from the palace?"
"The Emperor has chosen the candidate for the Minister of the Court." Yao Tongzhi threw out a bomb before he finished speaking, "Do you know who it is?"
"It won't be someone from an aristocratic family."
Shang Yan raised his eyes, "It should be Bo Luohui, Lord Bo."
"Bo Luohui is a representative of the children of poor families. If he takes the position of Shizhong, it means he is standing on the opposite side of the aristocratic families." Yao Tongzhi crossed his legs, "In a few years, the children of poor families will enter the officialdom.
The pattern of the aristocratic families’ children taking turns to succeed each other will be broken. If the poor rise up, will the aristocratic families still be able to control the government like this?”
Yao Tongzhi naturally hopes that the poor will rise.
Each family has its own tricks, but their goals are too shrewd.
"The emperor has always relied on aristocratic families. It seems that Du Yue is smarter than you and I know." Shang Yan looked at Su Rutang, "This kid is smart and patient enough. He is a man who can accomplish great things."
Unfortunately……
Stand on the opposite side of Shang Yan, and wait until Shang Yan feels that his role is over.
It was also the time when he lost his life.
"Du Yue wants to replace your position in the emperor's mind, so he naturally wants the East Factory to be higher than the Jinyiwei. It's a dispute between the East Factory Supervisor and the Jinyiwei Commander, but it's also a power struggle between the East Factory and the Jinyiwei."
Su Rutang understood that Du Yue wanted to be the Ninth Thousand Year Old, second only to the Emperor.
"Our commander has done a lot for the emperor, and the emperor will not remove him for a while." Yao Tongzhi saw it clearly, "but trust and friendship are like fallen leaves in autumn, which will be gone once the northwest wind blows."
Shang Yan drank the tea and smiled.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The higher you climb, the harder you fall."
"Those court officials are keeping an eye on us Jinyiwei, so we asked Dongchang to block the spotlight for us."
"Tell the people down there that the commander's wife said she would give everyone an extra red envelope this month, and use it as wedding wine for everyone."
Yao Tongzhi stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, ma'am."
Su Rutang dodged his greeting and said, "Originally, we should have invited everyone to the wedding banquet. But it is not appropriate now, so just give the money."
"They like to drink wine and take silver even more."
Speaking of it.
When Yao Tongzhi saw Shang Yan's face change, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
"Our commander-in-chief doesn't have the habit of drinking wine. He goes to a brothel just to drink. At most, he listens to some music..."
Seeing that Yao Tongzhi's explanation was making things worse.
Shang Yan wanted to punch him so much that he said, "Are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Yao Tongzhi is very sensible.
I knew I had said the wrong thing and I had finished what I was saying.
There is no rush for the rest.
He quickly got up and ran out the door. "Sir, I will go back to work for the Jinyiwei first."
Run faster than a rabbit.
Shang Yan: “…”
Su Rutang propped his chin with one hand and glanced at Shang Yan thoughtfully. "Sir Shang, do you have enough money for the flower wine?"
Shang Yan quickly stood up and begged for mercy:
"Wife, I was really drinking. I was a eunuch at the time and had no interest in those vulgar women."
"I heard that some skinny horses are specially raised to deal with dignitaries, and they are not comparable to ordinary women." Su Rutang snorted coldly: "Who said that eunuchs don't like beauty?"
"Some have a wife and some have concubines."
Shang Yan, who usually keeps a calm face, is now panicking.
He hurriedly sat down next to Su Rutang.
"Tang. I'm not that kind of person."
He held Su Rutang tightly and felt nervous for the first time.
He was afraid that Su Rutang would not let him in.
I swear to God, he only drank alcohol and didn't call any girls.
But sometimes it's more convenient to go to that kind of place to discuss things.
Su Rutang withdrew his hand.
"These are all things of the past. I have no right to ask about them."
Shang Yan grabbed Su Rutang's hand and placed it on his chest again, "Tang, wife. Do you feel my heart? From the beginning to the end, only you have entered my heart."
"Remember what I said on the day we got married?"
Su Rutang looked up and met his eyes.
"I said I only want to be with you, not anyone else."
These are what Long Changyou said to Su Rutang when she got married for the first time.
At that time.
Su Rutang wanted to give her personal maid to Long Changyou as a concubine, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Long Changyou at that time.
He also said that other people had maids who shared the same room with them.
Only he didn't.
There was mist in Su Rutang's eyes.
"Tang, don't cry."
Su Rutang hugged him and felt the familiar embrace. "Go drink wine when you should in the future, and say that I gave you the confidence."
Shang Yan hugged her.
"No, let's go drink somewhere else. Just say I'm controlled by my wife."
Su Rutang cried and laughed again, "That's what you said. I'm just overbearing and don't like you to find other women. Huaiyan said that where she grew up, monogamy is the norm.
You can only find someone else after you divorce. Otherwise, if your husband finds another woman, he will be looked down upon by the world."
"Where? I haven't heard of it."
Su Rutang was stunned.
"Speaking of Huaiyan, I wonder if Qingwan has found her."
"You, you worry about them all day long. Su Qingwan also brought people with her, and she also has her own places to go. She may not really go to find Song Huaiyan. The world is so big that she can go anywhere."
Shang Yan doesn't like Su Rutang becoming a fussy housekeeper.
Chunxi came over and said that Su Yuxuan had already taken it.
"Yuxuan and Qi'er's yards are next door, so they can study and practice together." Su Rutang asked clearly how the cleanup was going.
"It's all packed. But Miss Yaoyao also wants to live there."
Su Rutang wanted Yaoyao to live in the same courtyard with him, and had no plans to give Yaoyao her own courtyard for the time being. Unexpectedly, the little girl wanted to live with Shangqi and Su Yuxuan.
She looked up at Shang Yan.
"Didn't you say anything to Yaoyao?"
Shang Yan waved his hands quickly, "No. Yaoyao is also lively when she is with her brothers, she is afraid that she will lose to them."
"Really?"
Su Rutang didn't believe it.
Shang Yan patted his chest and said, "How could you doubt me?"
He didn't want Yaoyao to live in the same courtyard with Su Rutang, so he slept in Su Rutang's room every other day. He had a wife, so he couldn't sleep in the study or the next courtyard every other day.
When Su Rutang was not around, Shang Yan was an ascetic, lonely and ruthless commander.
With Su Rutang.
He would rather lose to the word "eroticism".
Su Rutang glared at him fiercely.
Shang Yan leaned over and approached Su Rutang, laughing:
"What is my lady afraid of?"
Su Rutang turned away and moved away from Shang Yan. How could she not know that the arrogant Jinyiwei commander was becoming more and more clingy than before?
"I'm going to check on the kids."
Su Rutang fled from here.
Leaving behind a faint smile of sorrow and disgust.
In the palace.
Du Yue sat face to face with a man in black, turning his wine glass in his hand. "Why should I listen to your arrangements?"
"You want to know who your biological father is? Where does your biological mother come from?" The man in black's voice sounded like the sound of rough porcelain scraping against each other, and his face was wrapped in black cloth.
Leave space for the eyes, nose and mouth.
The eyes were so dark that not even a trace of white could be seen.
The lips are also dark purple.
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't you really know what Zhou Chengru did? Because of Zhou Chengru's mistakes, you won't survive." The man in black picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Du Yue.
"Zhou Chengru is dead, but you are not. Your mother is dead, but you are still alive."
"As for your biological father, he is always watching your every move. My child, you can't get out."
Du Yue smashed the wine glass to the ground.
"Zhou Chengru is already dead. I just happened to be his adopted son. Apart from the so-called grace of raising him, we have no other relationship.
To me, Murong Feiyue has nothing to do with me except this body of flesh and blood."
Du Yue slapped himself hard.
"You forced me to do this, am I guilty? Could it be that the concubine and the Zhou family are also guilty?"
"Even if there is guilt, it should be the Zhou clan members who should bear the responsibility."
