Rebirth of the perfect brother-in-law
Chapter 23 Showing Love
Guo Liang was already at a disadvantage in Yongzhou. Although Yang Shouye had a superior status and would not deliberately suppress Guo Liang, he allowed Chu Kuang to suppress Guo Liang, which was actually a disguised suppression. Therefore, Guo Liang's life in Yongzhou was
Very uncomfortable.
Now, there is another Chu Nan who acts recklessly with the identity of Emperor Liang's special envoy. Guo Liang's life should not be too miserable.
Among Chu Nan's group, Dugu Qiu was mostly just a name, Guo Shenyan's status was really inferior, and only Li Zhen could barely compete with Chu Nan.
More importantly, other people in Yongzhou may not be able to see through the complex political chaos in the capital. Li Zhen's identity as the official prince is very appealing. At least many people in Yongzhou feel that since the prince Li Zhen is in the mission, then
Chu Nan should naturally become a puppet, and everything in the mission should be controlled by the prince Li Zhen from behind.
However, Guo Liang knew that this was not the actual situation.
Even Guo Liang clearly understood that after a series of disputes, Chu Nan and Li Zhen, once close partners, had parted ways.
In this way, the cooperation between Guo Liang and Li Zhen is inevitable, and Guo Liang has never concealed his intention to win over Li Zhen.
Today is the Lantern Festival. Guo Liang, who was recuperating in the government office, sent his eldest son Guo Cheng to accompany Li Zhen to enjoy the lanterns.
………………………………………… Guo Cheng of course already knew what happened at the Yongzhou Army Camp today. Seeing that his father, who used to be the most dignified and dignified person in the past, was beaten into a pig’s head,
You can imagine the shock, shame and anger in my heart. They kept complaining to Li Zhen along the way.
Li Zhen never imagined that Chu Nan would dare to use such drastic measures to suppress Guo Liang. You know, even if Emperor Liang was angry, he would not take action against a dignified governor!
However, no matter what the outcome of this lawsuit will be when it comes to Emperor Liang, it can be expected that in Yongzhou, the prestige of Guo Liang, the prefect of the state, will drop to freezing point. Unless there is an imperial edict that clearly favors Emperor Liang, otherwise he was originally waiting and watching.
The wallflowers will definitely abandon Guo Liang and join the tents of Chu Kuang and Chu Nan.
Yang Shouye's status was detached and his authority in Yongzhou was unquestionable. He was also Chu Nan's father-in-law, so he would probably turn a blind eye.
Guo Chengyou was a little aggrieved and said angrily: "My father is a dignified state magistrate and a high official of the imperial court. He has guarded Yongzhou for the imperial court for many years. There is always hard work without credit, right? Who would have thought that he would be ridden on the head by a young boy?
, and suffered such a shame and humiliation..."
Li Zhen smiled apologetically, pursed his lips and said nothing, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
Outsiders thought that at least they could withstand Chu Nan's decision, but unfortunately this was not the case. Li Zhen expected that if he jumped out to support Guo Liang now, Chu Nan might not take into account the past friendship to save some face for him.
Most likely, I will still humiliate myself.
Guo Chengcheng is nearly thirty, a few years older than Li Zhen. Now he serves as an official in charge of logistics under Yang Shouye in the army. It is not difficult for the Guo family to help their descendants in Yongzhou. Even Yang Shouye is hindered by
Love and affection should be taken care of secretly.
Seeing Li Zhen's gloomy look, Guo Liang frowned and continued: "Your Highness... the mission has a heavy responsibility. It is here to calm down the chaos in the northwest, not to fight among ourselves! This mission cannot be the responsibility of that boy from the Chu family.
Otherwise, using public weapons for personal use will not only damage His Majesty’s reputation, but also make the situation in the northwest even worse... Your Highness, you can’t just let him do whatever he wants!”
Li Zhen's expression changed slightly. He had been an invisible man in the capital for nearly twenty years. Of course he would not be willing to continue to remain silent. Especially now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he be willing to let it go?
If Chu Nan were allowed to continue to control the mission single-handedly, Chu Nan would definitely get all the credit. Even if he would get a share in the end, Emperor Liang would definitely be disappointed.
My father sent me and Chu Nan to the northwest for the purpose of decentralizing power! If we can cooperate with Guo Liang, it will be a win-win situation.
Guo Liang can use his own name to win over the outsiders and legitimately oppose some of Chu Nan's decisions, and he can also make friends with such a giant in the Guo family. Even if they are not very close, it is enough to benefit him now.
Infinite.
Seeing that Li Zhen had moved, Guo Cheng added jealously: "That boy from the Chu family doesn't even take His Majesty seriously... Sooner or later it will end well... His Majesty establishes his own team as soon as possible, just in case His Majesty wants to replace him that day.
He, His Highness, took advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne..."
Li Zhen looked at Guo Cheng in surprise. He was about to say a few heart-to-heart words, but found that Chu Nan was already standing behind Guo Cheng, listening. He smiled reluctantly and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
.
……………………………… Guo Cheng saw Li Zhen’s strange look, looked back, and was stunned.
Chu Nan held her exquisite little hand and looked at the various lanterns around her casually.
Linglong recognized Guo Shenyan and Li Zhen and hesitated whether to say hello. She turned to look at Chu Nan and fell silent. She lowered her head and stared at her rabbit lantern.
Seeing that Guo Cheng stopped talking, Chu Nan turned around and said with a smile: "Why don't you say anything anymore? Keep going..."
Li Zhen remained silent, at least not yet determined to get involved in the struggle between Chu Nan, Chu Kuang and Guo Liang.
A struggle at this level is not something that a young prince like himself, who has just emerged and has no foundation, can get involved in. That is to say, the identity of the prince and the status in the mission are of some use, otherwise Li Zhen would have expected that,
Guo Liang doesn't even take himself seriously.
Guo Cheng put away the surprise and anger on his face, turned around and pretended to look at Li Zhen and asked: "Your Highness...could this be your friend?"
Chu Nan laughed, but he didn't expect that Guo Cheng would pretend not to know him and was going to get away with it. He didn't believe that the son of Lord Zhizhou would not know his big enemy.
Guo Cheng was deep enough in the city. No matter how much hatred he felt in his heart, his face did not change at all. He said to Li Zhen: "Your Highness... Since you don't know me, forget it... The lantern festival will officially begin soon... I will take you there."
Go over there and have a look..."
But he made up his mind to drag Li Zhen into trouble.
Li Zhen was a little embarrassed. Saying hello to Chu Nan would definitely hurt Guo Cheng. If he didn't say hello, he would naturally join Guo Liang's camp. After hesitating for a while, he still nodded silently. Chu Nan was not surprised either. Li Zhen's enterprising spirit
Existence is no longer a day or two, chuckled
He said to Guo Cheng: "Master Guo doesn't know me... Then I'd better introduce myself... I am the bastard you just mentioned who will never end well... Also, I need to correct you.
Just tell me, now I am no longer a member of the Chu family..."
The corner of Guo Cheng's mouth twitched, but he was not embarrassed by being exposed on the spot. He turned around and said: "Let's go..."
Chu Nan made a mistake in his steps and followed a step forward. He chuckled and said, "Want to leave? It's not that easy..."
Guo Cheng turned around, looked at Chu Nan with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Then what do you want!?"
Chu Nan looked at Guo Cheng, then looked at the river on the roadside, kicked Guo Cheng into the river with floating ice, and murmured: "I want this..."
………………………………………… With a loud noise and a scream, this place suddenly became the busiest place on the street.
In such weather, there is no need to say how cold the river is. If someone jumps into the river, it is certainly a lively event not to be missed.
Most of the people who came with him knew Chu Nan's identity, and they didn't dare to get mad at Chu Nan. They were busy looking for ropes and long poles to save people.
Li Zhen glanced at Chu Nan from a distance through the crowd, feeling slightly chilled in his heart. He should learn from such decisiveness and boldness.
After a while of busy work and rescuing the person from the water, Guo Cheng was already so cold that his face was blue and his whole body was shaking.
The people in the government office did not have the courage to point out Chu Nan as the murderer. They were afraid that passers-by would recognize him as the prince from Zhizhou and be embarrassed, so they hurriedly protected Guo Cheng and left.
Everyone was still talking about the reason why the man fell into the water just now.
One of them saw Chu Nan approaching and asked in a hurry: "Brother... did you see clearly what happened just now? If you jump into the river at this time, you will freeze to death if you are not careful..."
Of course, Chu Nan would not admit that he had done it. He waved to the man to come closer and said in a low voice: "I told you... you must never tell anyone else..."
Linglong knew Chu Nan was going to do something weird again, so she curled her lips and turned away.
The man knew what was going on and came over hurriedly and carefully.
Chu Nan looked around carefully and whispered to the man: "Actually... that person just now was Lord Zhizhou's young master..."
The man was suddenly surprised and a little happy, as if there was going to be some big gossip to hear.
Chu Nan continued: "Just now, Lord Zhizhou's young master was accompanying another young man to enjoy the lanterns... Yes, it is the young master with a capital accent... Mr. Guo just expressed his love for the young master in golden clothes... Who would have thought of that young master in golden clothes?
He already had a new love... Mr. Guo couldn't think about it for a while, so he jumped into the river to die..."
The man was stunned and stammered: "Show...show...love?! Mr. Zhizhou's son...is...as good as...Long Yang...?!"
Chu Nan nodded seriously.
The man thought for a moment, thanked Chu Nan, turned to his friend and said: "I tell you...don't tell others...it was Young Master Guo just...showing love...really...of course...
…”
……………… Of course Linglong understood what Chu Nan said very well. Seeing that the crowd that was about to be quiet suddenly became excited, a pair of people were buzzing and whispering, and said with a red face.
: "Uncle...you are good or bad...the arranger...how will he come out to meet people in the future..."
Chu Nan smiled nonchalantly and said softly: "Even his father was beaten... so what does this mean..."
Linglong curled her lips and said nothing.
Chu Nan was talking to Linglong when he suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead.
In that dark place where the light could not be found, there was a white figure standing there quietly, like a holy snow lotus blooming silently, extremely beautiful but silent.
