Chapter 569: Wang Wan's handle(1/2)

Wang Wan came in.

After entering the door, he saluted Ying Zheng, and then said with a ashamed look on his face: "Your Majesty, I have come here to apologize."

Ying Zheng asked: "What crime did you commit?"

Wang Wan said: "Old minister, I'm sorry Dr. Chunyu."

Chunyu Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Wan in disbelief: "Could it be that what the Prime Minister said..."

Wang Wan nodded with a sad face: "It's Zhou Gui, who knows me."

Chunyu Yue was confused: "So, the Prime Minister ordered Zhou Gui to slander me? What does the Prime Minister mean?"

Wang Wan shook his head: "The doctor is gentle and generous, and he is a gentleman. Who doesn't respect all conscientious people in the world? I am not that shameless person, how can I ruin the reputation of the doctor?"

Li Shui: "..."

This old guy has already come to apologize, and he still wants to scold me?

Chunyu Yue said in confusion: "If that's the case, then the Prime Minister and Zhou Gui..."

At this time, Fu Yao had received the news and arrived quietly.

After he came in, he didn't make a sound, but stood silently next to Li Shui.

Wang Wan sighed and said to Chunyu Yue: "Zhou Gui, I wonder if Dr. Chunyu still remembers this. This person, together with some businessmen, once sued the Immortal to extort money."

Chunyu Yue suddenly realized: "That's right. After the complaint was made, His Majesty was worried about revenge after being banished to immortals. He specially asked the Prime Minister to receive them specially. If they have any grievances, they can report directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Wang Wan nodded: "Exactly."

Ying Zheng also remembered that this was indeed the case.

Wang Wan continued: "It was at that time that I got to know Zhou Gui. Zhou Gui is a smart person and comes to visit from time to time."

"I have never had any contact with the merchants in Xianyang City. It is because of this coincidence that I have met Zhou Gui several times."

"This time, during the competition for the Immortal Literature Award, I heard that very few people were betting on Dr. Chunyu. I felt it was particularly pity."

"I have seen Dr. Chunyu's hometown of Yao and Shun. Although I am not a Confucian, I admire Dr. Chunyu's literary talent and knowledge. In my opinion, if Dr. Chunyu did not win the award, someone must have done it intentionally.

Already."

One sentence made both Li Shui and Fu Yao angry.

Chunyu Yue looked at Wang Wan very moved.

Chun Yuyue didn't win the award before, so he felt a little embarrassed and a little unconvinced. Now that he hears Wang Wan fighting for him, how can he not feel grateful?

Wang Wan continued: "Therefore, I wanted to contribute to Dr. Chunyu. So I took out all the gold and silver at home, borrowed some money, and collected ten million yuan, planning to buy Dr. Chunyu to win."

"First, I think Dr. Chunyu can win, and then after making money, he can help the poor and needy."

"Both of them, someone bet 10 million on Dr. Chunyu, which can be regarded as bringing glory to the doctor."

Chunyu Yue was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Wang Wan added: "However, I thought about it and decided that this matter should be avoided. After all, I and the doctor were officials in the same dynasty, so they spent 10 million yuan to buy the doctor in such a big way. If word spread, there would inevitably be villains.

Add oil and vinegar."

"You should be more careful under the melons and plums. If Dr. Chunyu's reputation is damaged, I will definitely feel uneasy."

"Therefore, I called Zhou Gui and asked him to bet on Dr. Chunyu for me. Alas, after the results were announced, Dr. Chun Yu actually lost the election. My ten million yuan was gone, which is nothing. It's a pity that those who judged the awards

, don’t know how to appreciate the doctor’s masterpiece.”

Chunyu Yue was also filled with emotions.

He suddenly felt that this Wang Wan was extremely respectable. Why hadn't he felt that before?

Wang Wan cried and laughed and said: "I thought the matter would end here. Who knows, the people of Xianyang want to know who deposited ten million yuan. After checking again and again, Zhou Gui was found, and then again

We need to find out who is behind Zhou Gui."

"I don't know what Zhou Gui thinks, but he wants to slander Dr. Chunyu. I feel that I have done something wrong with my good intentions, so I feel ashamed and come to the palace to apologize."

"Dr. Chunyu is here, that's the best thing. I just want to apologize at the same time."

Afterwards, Wang Wan saluted Chunyu Yue.

Chunyu Yue quickly supported Wang Wan and said, "Prime Minister, why are you doing this? You and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. With our friendship, we don't need to be so polite. What's more, if someone doesn't know something but is stunned, isn't he a gentleman? I don't have that either.

Keep it in mind."

Wang Wan said with emotion: "Dr. Chunyu's mind is really admirable."

Chunyu Yue said with even more emotion: "The Prime Minister has a noble status, but he can admit his mistakes calmly. This magnanimity is even more admirable."

Li Shui was a little speechless and whispered: "This exchange of blows is really..."

After Fu Yao heard it from the side, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It seems that the headline of the news is there."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let this matter end here."

Li Shui and others responded and exited the study.

Fu Yao laughed dryly, said goodbye to Li Shui, and then hurried away.

He was busy editing a newspaper.

Chunyu Yue and Wang Wan walked out of the palace enthusiastically, talking while walking, not to mention how intimate they were.

Wang Wan decided to come to plead guilty today because she wanted to confess and be given leniency.

Zhou Guidu has been arrested, and it is only a matter of time before he is confessed. It would be better to admit it on his own initiative. What's more, he didn't do anything bad in the first place, so it doesn't matter if he admits it.

Secondly, since Li Si was defeated by Zhao Tuo in the Council Hall, his whole person has become very depressed.

I don't dare to form cliques or entertain guests. After finishing my work, I just stay at home.

Wang Wan lost an important ally.

Wang Wan, who had no allies, felt very uneasy. After all, there was still Feng Quli watching over him. Maybe the imperial censor would get involved in his book at some point. Wouldn't that be bad?

Therefore, Wang Wan took this opportunity to make friends with Chun Yuyue, which was considered to have support in the court.

Now it seems that the effect is very good.

As for Chunyu Yue's good relationship with Wang Wan, one thing was Wang Wan's words just now, which really moved him a little.

Of course, Chun Yuyue was also a man who had experienced great storms. Although he was a bit old-fashioned, unlike Fusu, he was not naive.

Chunyu Yue was willing to befriend Wang Wan mainly because of Wang Wan's identity.

Wang Wan was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he had not made it clear which prince he would support as crown prince.

If Wang Wan could be won over, wouldn't it be more likely that Fusu would succeed to the throne in the future?

Therefore, these two people had their own agendas and came together with ulterior motives for the benefit of both parties.

…………

Exiled Immortal Tower is announcing other awards.

Geography Award: Landscape.

The people were not surprised that Jing Gai, or Xiang Bo, won the award. After all, Xiang Bo discovered gold, iron, and copper mines one after another.

It can be said that it was Xiang Bo's discovery that caused the rapid spread of ironware, caused the price of gold, silver, copper and iron to drop rapidly, allowing the people of Xianyang to use cheap metal items.

The people were grateful to Xiang Bo.

But the common people also know that no matter how great Xiang Bo's contribution is, this award should actually belong to the banished immortal.

After all, the banished immortal discovered that the world is round.

This discovery alone has overshadowed all mineral deposits.

However, Ban Xian has already said that he will not participate in this selection.

So, settling for the next best thing, Xiang Bo won the Geography Prize.

The winner of the mathematics prize is Ji Nu.

An abacus alone is enough to win this award. What's more, after Ji Nu entered Shang Jun's Courtyard, he also improved many calculation methods, which is simply an outstanding achievement.

The winners of the Chemistry Prize were Tian Weng and Xiangli Zhu.

These two people invented chemical fertilizer and solved the problem of feeding people all over the world. They made great contributions.

The winner of the Physics Prize, to everyone's surprise, was a little-known figure: Zhang Men.

Many people have never heard of this name, let alone what he made.

Finally, after the introduction by the jury, the people suddenly realized.

It is said that Zhangmen made a machine using coal and iron. This machine could work day and night to pump water from the mine to the surface, saving hundreds of manpower.

And this machine is expected to be installed on a car. Once successful, the car can walk on its own without the need for cows and horses to pull it. It also does not need to eat grass and drink water.

The jury believes that Zhang Men's creation is almost miraculous and is the closest to the style of banishing immortals. Moreover, the jury boldly speculates that Zhang Men has opened a door and following his path, Great Qin will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Therefore, it is completely natural for the Physics Prize to be awarded to Zhang Men.
To be continued...
