He is a man of letters.
He has a righteous spirit.
He was mentally prepared to bear any crime, such as offending the emperor and usurping the throne to spy on the secrets of the current emperor...but he could not just watch and do nothing.
have to say.
Liu Sanwu counted on Zhu Yunhuan for this.
The formula was substituted incorrectly, but the final answer was correct.
Zhu Yunhuan did have a way, but the previous methods would definitely not work. Giving money, making big promises, and intimidation... These things could be used once or twice, but if you make too many promises, people would not be able to eat them.
However, in response to Liu Sanwu's words, only Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen shook their heads helplessly.
Zhan Hui put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Liu Sanwu, sighed, and said, "Alas... the way to break the deadlock, Old Master just told me, let the late emperor jump out of the coffin, huh!"
After saying this, he laughed at himself somewhat weakly.
It's not that he doesn't want to break the impasse, but he simply can't see a way to break the impasse. He knows in his heart that what Liu Sanwu said about going to Zhu Yunhuan to discuss the matter will not produce any solution at all.
In this situation.
He felt that at least he should not get involved for the time being, so as not to be torn apart by the vortex - first of all, if he rashly went to ask His Majesty about such a confidential matter, it would not be known whether he would provoke His Majesty's anger and murderous intent; secondly, the nobles in Huaixi were not easy to deal with - why bother?
Fu Youwen, also somewhat distracted, poked the charcoal in the stove with tongs and said, "Master Liu, if your Majesty's previous method still worked, why don't you continue to use it? People sometimes have to learn to bow their heads. At least, we can wait and see."
When he said the last sentence, he even seemed to be speaking with great sincerity.
Even though Liu Sanwu gave them a lecture, or even scolded them, Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen both knew what kind of person Liu Sanwu was - a scholar with integrity.
Relying on the revolutionary friendship they had developed during this period, although the two men's words were discouraging, there was also an element of persuasion for Liu Sanwu in them.
Neither of them could do what Liu Sanwu did, but a gentleman who was willing to risk his life deserved such respect.
However, Liu Sanwu's response was also within the expectations of Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen. They only heard the old man snort indignantly: "You and I are both scholars. Scholars must stand up straight!"
"If you don't go, I will!"
After saying that, Liu Sanwu lifted his robe and stood up.
Although his face was somewhat old, his expression and eyes were full of sharpness and determination.
Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen knew him, and he knew them. Knowing that he could not persuade Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, he went straight to the door without any hesitation.
The door opened with a "creak", letting the wind and snow outside in, and then he gradually disappeared from sight without looking back.
Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen sat opposite each other.
Seeing Liu Sanwu's figure disappear, they came to their senses. They shook their heads helplessly at first, and then stood up at the same time, walked to the door together, and bowed in the direction Liu Sanwu left to show their respect.
Until a gust of cold wind blew in from outside and gave them a chill.
The two of them then stood up, closed the door, and returned to their original positions silently with solemn expressions.
a long time.
Zhan Huicai said, "If I had known this, I would not have told this stubborn old man about this matter. Your Majesty must be feeling very upset right now, and he is bothering you at this moment, asking about things that Your Majesty has never mentioned... I am afraid that this trip to the palace will bring bad luck."
He suddenly felt a little regretful.
Fu Youwen said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you tell him or not."
"If he doesn't know today, he'll know tomorrow. If he doesn't know tomorrow, he'll know the day after tomorrow... As long as he knows about this, he will definitely make this choice."
"Wasn't he also fearless of death on the night the late emperor passed away?"
"That was a stroke of luck for the three of us. We encountered our current emperor, who is skilled in strategizing and winning hearts and minds, and who didn't care about our lives. But... how can we always have good luck? Scholar Liu is such a bad person... Ugh!"
Fu Youwen showed a look of regret on his face and shook his head helplessly.
……
at the same time.
Liu Sanwu walked on the snow, quickly passed through the various gates and corridors of the Zhan Mansion, and left the Zhan Mansion angrily.
The Zhan family’s housekeeper was bewildered: “Master Liu, what are you doing…?”
"I have something important to attend to, so I have already said goodbye to Lord Zhan." Scholars value courtesy, and Liu Sanwu did not forget to explain even when he was angry.
Then he walked straight into the carriage parked at the gate and a firm voice came from inside: "Go to the Meridian Gate and enter the palace. I want to see the emperor."
The voice fell.
The whip fell on the horse's buttocks, and the carriage and Liu Sanwu moved farther and farther away.
……
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunhuan had just returned from the Alchemy Bureau not long ago. It was afternoon and he had almost finished the day's work. The progress of the steelmaking work had been handed over, so he was in a pretty good mood.
But then I heard a knock on the door.
Ma Sanbao immediately stood up and went forward to check, his voice revealing a hint of surprise: "Is it Commander Song?"
Zhu Yunhuan also heard the voice.
Without even waiting for Ma Sanbao to come in and inform him, he simply waved his hand and said, "Just let him in."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Zhong's deep voice echoed outside the door. Song Zhong walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the account books have arrived."
