Chapter 79: Don’t judge a person by appearance
After listening to Ye Shengxian's description, Jiang Chengfeng had a general understanding. It turned out that the previous emperor of the Northern Tang Kingdom did not have many descendants, and the eldest son was the crown prince, but unfortunately he died young. The previous emperor was in a dilemma when it came to who to appoint as the crown prince. Both the King of Liang and the current emperor had their advantages and disadvantages, so in the end the previous emperor chose the current emperor.
Logically speaking, the Prince of Liang had been in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works for many years, and his students and former officials were all over the country, so he had the best chance of becoming the crown prince, but the late emperor chose the current emperor. I don't know what the late emperor was thinking.
Although Ye Shengxian's words were rather obscure, Jiang Chengfeng could still hear from between the lines how dangerous the fight for the crown prince was at the time.
From this, it can be seen that there must be a huge rift between the Prince of Liang and the Emperor.
"How powerful is King Liang?" Jiang Chengfeng asked.
"Boss, Prince Liang has been in control of the Ministry of Personnel for more than 20 years , and more than one-third of the officials in the world are his disciples. What do you think?" Ye Shengxian said with a wry smile.
Jiang Chengfeng sighed, "Prince Liang is very dangerous! The greater the power, the greater the danger! He is walking on thin ice now!"
Ye Shengxian was completely in awe of this boss, as if there was nothing he didn't understand.
After thinking about it, Jiang Chengfeng patted Luo Dongchuan on the shoulder and asked him to go back.
Not long after Luo Dongchuan left, Long Bai saw Jiang Chengfeng and Ye Shengxian. He whispered a few words to the dog head next to him and walked over here.
"I can meet Brother Long while shopping. We are really destined to meet!" Jiang Chengfeng quietly pulled Ye Shengxian's sleeve. The latter understood and walked forward to greet him with a smile.
Longbai cupped his hands and smiled, but the smile was too cold. "It is indeed fate! Brother Ye, why are you in the mood to go shopping today? Why don't you go to Mantingfang to drink wine?"
Ye Shengxian smiled, rubbed his waist, and said: "Your back has been sore lately, so it's better not to go there! If Brother Long is in the mood, I am willing to sacrifice my life to accompany you!"
Jiang Chengfeng listened to the two people talking nonsense from behind and laughed in his heart. It turned out that Young Master Ye was also a master of bragging.
In fact, Long Bai had noticed Jiang Chengfeng a long time ago and wanted to deal with him, but with Ye Shengxian around, it was difficult for him to do so.
After thinking for a while, Long Bai glanced at the dog head beside him, "Some toads want to eat swan meat and actually want to make friends with Miss Yunxian! The next time you see this kind of toad, you must teach him a lesson!"
Jiang Chengfeng cursed all the female relatives of Long Bai's family in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said, "Mr. Long is right. If a toad harasses Miss Yunxian, Miss Yunxian might break the toad's three legs!"
Ye Shengxian was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.
Long Bai's face flushed red, and he stared at Jiang Chengfeng with eyes that seemed to be able to spit fire. He sent invitations to Liu Yunxian three times, but was rejected by Liu Yunxian every time. But this damn servant actually took Miss Yunxian's invitation to the banquet every day. Who is the three-legged toad? Isn't it obvious at a glance?
Long Bai took a deep breath and glanced at the dog head beside him. The latter glanced at Jiang Chengfeng and lowered his head without saying a word.
Long Bai was disappointed and left. Looking at Long Bai's back, Ye Shengxian asked, "Boss, how should we deal with this?"
Jiang Chengfeng's mouth curled up into a cruel smile, "It's impossible to reconcile the conflict with this guy! If he makes the slightest move, we must take the initiative to attack him. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to ourselves!"
Ye Shengxian bowed, "Brother, what you said is absolutely right! I will learn from you!"
"Brother, as the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If Long Bai wants to start a group fight, we will accompany him! If he wants to play dirty, we will--"
As he spoke, Ye Shengxian made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly surprised, this guy is so cruel!
However, this small incident also shows from the side that the conflict between the Long family and the Ye family has become irreconcilable, and the two sides are determined to fight to the death.
Jiang Chengfeng shrugged and said with a smile: "I didn't hear anything!"
After a pause, he added: "Tell Dongchuan to secretly monitor that dog-head! If Qinglong makes any unusual moves, we can't lose our composure first!"
Ye Shengxian nodded, "Don't worry, boss! I know what to do!"
The two walked side by side. Ye Shengxian suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Oh, right! I suddenly remembered something. The 15th is my grandmother's 60th birthday. My father is planning to hold a big banquet. I hope you will take the trouble to come and attend the banquet!"
Jiang Chengfeng was surprised and said with a smile: "I am just a servant of the Shen Mansion. How can I be qualified to celebrate the birthday of the Governor's Mansion?"
"Boss, you are too modest! I will send an invitation to Mr. Zhao and Miss Shen. I will specifically mention you in the invitation. You won't be able to go even if you don't want to!"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Ye Shengxian accompanied Jiang Chengfeng to the gate of Shen's house before saying goodbye, and Jiang Chengfeng went straight to his own courtyard. But just as he entered the courtyard, he saw a graceful woman sitting in front of the door.
Because the woman lowered her head, Jiang Chengfeng couldn't see her face clearly. He thought, could it be that little girl Shen Qingdie came to tell him a story again? But since he had offended that girl today, she probably wouldn't come to him so soon! Could it be Meng Jianglin? But thinking about it, that girl wouldn't sit at the door to greet him!
Jiang Chengfeng walked up quickly and took a closer look. It turned out to be Miss Shen!
At this time, Miss Shen was flipping through a booklet under the dim lantern. She was reading it carefully and seriously, with a shy look on her pretty face and a smile . She didn't even notice Jiang Chengfeng approaching.
Jiang Chengfeng was even more speechless when he looked at the booklet again. This booklet was the original manuscript of the Shen family servant application guide that he had kept before.
Could it be that this girl is here to settle accounts with me?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chengfeng coughed dryly. Shen Ruoyan was startled. She looked up and saw that it was Jiang Chengfeng. She hurriedly put the booklet in her arms, stood up and said shyly: "Jiang Dazhu, you... are back?"
After hearing what Shen Ruoyan said, Jiang Chengfeng felt a little more relaxed. It turned out that she was not here to settle the account. She probably was just impatient waiting, so she took the booklet to kill time, right?
Jiang Chengfeng looked up at the sky and grinned, "What kind of wind could have brought the majestic and domineering Miss Shen here? It's really rare!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruoyan bit her lips lightly, thinking that this guy was too narrow-minded to still hold a grudge against her. However, she needed help from him now, so it was difficult for her to refute him. She just hung her head and whispered, "I came to you to ask you if there is any way to resolve the crisis of the Shen family?"
"No way!" Jiang Chengfeng shook his head, very decisively and directly, sneering in his heart. Saving you with such an attitude, are you also begging for help? If you really can't bring yourself to do that, go back and be your eldest lady!
