After a few words of dialogue about Wei Jiansu, the three of them were interested in the crispy lamb, Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi both had their own thoughts, it was true that they sincerely supported Qin Jin, but the thought of Wei Jiansu's existence was like a fish in their throats.

Xia Yuanji even regretted that Wei Jiansu, who should not have been persecuted in the first place, was so tight, let alone rashly tore his face, to the point where he couldn't end up now. The lamb quickly cooled, and Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi successively said goodbye on the grounds of complicated business.

After the fifth Qi returned to the political hall, he only saw Xia Yuanji sitting in front of the desk, a little distracted, so he said:

"It's come to this, why bother thinking about it? Wei Jiansu is not a beast of flood, before he went to Jianghuai, he was still notoriously weak and mediocre, can a person have earth-shaking changes in an instant?"

Xia Yuanji stroked the sparse beard under his chin, and said in a low voice for a long time:

"Wei Jiansu is a person with a deep city, who can stand firmly in the court after three dynasties, take a look, who else?"

Fifth Qi thought for a moment, and sure enough, as Xia Yuanji said, except for Wei Jiansu, who was already ranked in the Taiwan Pavilion, it was difficult to find anyone with this kind of qualifications.

However, after all, he is in the prime of life, and his outlook on things is more optimistic.

"Xia Xianggong is too pessimistic, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you and I are the dignified prime minister, and Wei Jiansu is also the prime minister, so why be afraid? Besides, is Doctor Qin willing to see us fight to the death? Once the fight starts, it will not be of any benefit to the court situation. As long as Wei Jiansu dares to make excessive moves, Doctor Qin will inevitably intervene!"

Xia Yuanji only muttered and asked:

"You and I forced Wei Jiansu away, did Doctor Qin say a word? It is said that Wei Jiansu's daughter had an ambiguous relationship with him, and he personally went to the door to beg, but in the end he still couldn't make him change his mind!"

Fifth Qi was a little silent, he also knew these things at the time, and he didn't even applaud secretly before Qin Jin stood by and watched, who would have thought that now it would become a problem for them again.

After thinking for a moment, Fifth Qi said hatefully:

"If Wei Jiansu, the old thief, dares to seek revenge, he will go to Doctor Qin to uphold justice, and Doctor Qin is in charge of the country's political power, how can there be any reason to watch from the wall?"

Xia Yuanji just shook his head and smiled bitterly, disapproving at Fifth Qi's words. Such pessimism and despair, but it made the fifth Qi feel a rebellious air in his heart.

"Even if Wei Jiansu returns with great merit, what is it, the big deal is to fight, in the past, when Emperor Xuanzong was in power, for the position of prime minister, didn't you fight to the death?"

In fact, Xia Yuanji has a problem that he is worried about, they offended too many officials and nobles in the purge last year, once Wei Jiansu picks this head, those people will inevitably stand on the opposite side of him and cheer for him. In this way, it has become inevitable to be alone, even if the two of them are twisted into a rope with the fifth Qi, how can they fight for the fierce discussion?

As for finding Qin Jin to uphold justice, it is likely to be self-defeating. For the purpose of appeasing the anger of the public, perhaps they will be pushed out and severely punished. In this way, Yu Shenwu Army and Qin Jin have no losses, and even more gains than losses, so why not do it?

However, these thoughts only turned around in Xia Yuanji's mind a few times, and he didn't say it, because he knew that Fifth Qi was a person with a relatively impatient personality, and usually such people lacked stamina, and once he knew these thoughts, he was afraid that he would have to toss some moths. It's just that these words can't be said at all, and thinking about how to say them makes him frown again.

"The old man is not like you, he has the merits of salt and iron, finance and taxation, the root of the old man's life is only to fight against dissidents, purge the courtiers, since ancient times, as a superior person, how many people will take care of this kind of person, and show mercy to his subordinates? In the end, he was not pulled out to calm the anger of the public......

This was something that Fifth Qi didn't expect, his mind had been taken up since he was in charge of the salt and iron finance and taxation, and now when he heard Xia Yuanji say this, he felt that there was some truth.

"If it is really as Xia Xianggong said, Fifth Qi will definitely not avoid trouble alone! Wei saw Su Lao Thief, afraid that he would be a bird!"

Finally, Fifth Qi couldn't help but say a foul word.

Xia Yuanji sighed lightly, Fifth Qi still couldn't understand what he was really worried about, the root cause of the disaster was not in Wei Jiansu, but in Qin Jin alone!

It's just that Fifth Qi hasn't been close to him to the point of talking about anything after all, and now he can only stop at the point.

The mutton just now was quite harmonious at first, until the conversation turned to Jianghuai, although Qin Jin's words were gentle and ordinary, the content still inevitably made Xia Yuanji make a variety of interpretations. No matter which of these interpretations they are, it means that Qin Jin will settle accounts with them early.

Seeing that Xia Yuanji was silent again, Fifth Qi sat heavily on the couch, his voice thick and dull.

"Good and dignified, how did he get to this point? Wei Jiansu is such a thing, why should he fight with you and me? Even if Jiangnan is stabilized and the scourge of abnormal soldiers is relieved, will he have the ability to bring down the two prime ministers of you and me?"

In his opinion, it was originally just the assassination of Qin Jin, but after visiting him, he caused so much trouble! This kind of thinking made him very irritable, so he slammed his fist on the desk, shaking the tea bowl and pen on it.

At this moment, a scribe Shi tiptoed into the middle hall.

"What?"

Fifth Qi asked impatiently.

"It's Wei Xianggong's words, the chariot and horse team has passed Tongguan, and it will arrive in Chang'an in a few days!"

It's really disappointing, and it's even more disappointing, I didn't expect Wei Jiansu's actions to be so fast, and he will return to Chang'an in a few days.

An unprecedented sense of urgency was tightly bound to Fifth Qi's chest, although he was focused on specific government affairs, it did not mean that he did not have his own understanding of the struggle of the imperial court.

Xia Yuanji's words were quite strange just now, it seemed that there was something in the words, but now that he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly thought: Could it be that Xia Yuanji is worried about Qin Jin's attitude?

He didn't believe it! He didn't believe that Qin Jin was a person who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, but if Qin Jin really unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, he and Xia Yuanji would not have the slightest room for resistance.

However, what good would Qin Jin do to them? He really wanted to ask Qin Jin in front of him, but these words must not be asked, otherwise it would invite more trouble. At this time, a person who wanted to make him tremble violently, could it be that Qin Jin was worried that they were also involved in planning the assassination?

This idea was somewhat absurd, and Fifth Qi immediately rejected it.

Wei Jiansu used the resources of the prime minister to stabilize the chaos in Jianghuai, and now returned to Chang'an safely with merit, according to the custom, the imperial court is to organize a considerable scale of ceremonies to welcome it. Fifth, Qi Qiang cheered up and went to make arrangements for various matters.

Xia Yuanji still didn't interfere in the meantime, just listening to the report, it could be regarded as his support for the fifth Qi.

At the same time, Jingzhao Yin Yanzhuang rushed to see Qin Jin again.

"According to the investigation of the bad marshal, it seems that the Hexi businessman has been in contact with the prince, but the details of the specific contact are not yet clear, and the Hexi businessman must be tortured before there can be a specific result!"

The secret agents of the Shenwu Army have been monitoring the crown prince Li Xi, although Li Xi is only a teenager, he is a very intelligent person, if he has a basic understanding of the situation, he should not be involved.

Qin Jin ordered someone to bring a pot of mutton, which was sliced inch by inch from the roasted lamb before.

"Yan Gong must have never eaten yet, and he will talk about business when he is full!"

Because he heard the gurgling sound coming from Yan Zhuang's belly from a distance. Indeed, Yan Zhuang has been assigning tasks day and night for the past few days, and personally supervising the torture, almost too busy to even have time to eat and sleep, if it weren't for Qin Jin ordering someone to bring a pot of mutton, he really wouldn't feel hungry.

After Qin Jin's reminder, the hunger pang surged up uncontrollably.

The mouth of scone and mutton was full of oil, and after a large bowl of mutton soup was poured into the stomach, he was sweating all over. A long full burp came out, and the whole person felt a lot tired.

Seeing that Yan Zhuang was full of food and drink, Qin Jin said:

"The Son of Heaven and the princes must not be involved in any rebellion!"

In this regard, Yan Zhuang was a little embarrassed, all the sons of the Son of Heaven had hope of inheriting the throne, and it was normal to be involved in a rebellion incident, if it could not be thoroughly investigated, it could only be appeasement and indulgence.

Qin Jin saw that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he added:

"This is not to be corrected, but to eliminate it from the source, and cut off all the means that those little dragons can contact with it, which is the key task!"

The Son of Heaven and the Princes must not lose any of them, otherwise public opinion will only point to the Shenwu Army and him Qin Jin, which will bring countless troubles. The human heart is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is the most troublesome, and one carelessness may ruin the previous ninety-nine points of effort.

Yan Zhuang roughly understood Qin Jin's intentions.

"It's okay to circle those troublesome princes, monitor all their daily lives, and see how those Xiaoxiao and conspirators still see the stitches!"

At this point, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add his opinion:

"The Ten Princes' Mansion can no longer live, there are too many princes and grandsons, and there are many and complicated people who come in and out, so it is better to open another square, build a mansion, and move the princes into the new square...... The only problem is that the construction is huge, and the fifth minister will not be able to pass it......"

Qin Jin high-fived and praised.

"This plan is very wonderful, so it saves a lot of unnecessary trouble, although it is very necessary, this matter Yan Gong and Lao Zongzheng discussed together, and made a specific plan, Xingwen Zhengtang is, the fifth Qi must be approved!"

Lao Zong is a cousin of Emperor Xuanzong, who is still in his old age, and almost never shows up in Pingsuri, and most of the affairs of the imperial family are turned a blind eye and rarely asked. When Yan Zhuang visited for the first time, it was not surprising that he ate behind closed doors.
