646 Hot potato

"Coincidence?" Feng Qizhou mocked: "How can there be so many coincidences in this world." ”

Tai Xu on the front foot has just found out about the betrayal of the official, and Wei Min has a problem on the back foot, if it is really a coincidence, then how unlucky does Wei Min have to be to catch up with this incident?

Feng Qizhou got up from the table, walked to the desk next to him, took down a few pieces of paper and handed them to Feng Qiao.

Feng Qiao was surprised: "What is this?"

"You take a look first. Feng Qizhou motioned for Feng Qiao to take a look first.

Feng Qiao opened the things in his hand with some confusion, and when he saw clearly what was written on it, he suddenly showed surprise.

"Someone has already gone to intercept and kill Luo Wanquan?"

Feng Qizhou nodded: "This news was sent by Liao Chuxiu today, I thought that the matter of Taixu could be suppressed for a while, but I didn't expect that the news over there had already spread to the capital." When Guo Qin took Luo Wanquan back to Beijing this time, if it wasn't for the temporary diversion to Yuelin and the waterway on the way, I am afraid that Luo Wanquan would have died on the way back to Beijing. ”

"After Luo Wanquan entered Beijing, those people knew that they couldn't hide this matter, and instead of putting the handle in my hands, they would rather find an inconsequential person to take the blame. ”

In the game between the DPRK and China, the victory or defeat is very good, and the matter of abandoning the car to protect the commander has never been seen, not to mention that Wei Mincai is not afraid of the car or not, maybe he has just become a pawn for others to protect themselves.

Feng Qiao looked at the things on the paper and said: "It seems that there are definitely not one or two participants in this official sale, and now I am afraid that many people are staring at this matter, and it will be troublesome if Luo Wanquan is kept in his hands." ”

"It's just Daddy, no matter who did it this time, the first thing to suffer is the Ministry of Shangshu, that Cen Zongguang is Xiao Minyuan's person, and in the past three years, he has recruited a lot of useful people for the Xiangwang Mansion, and sent several of Xiao Minyuan's cronies to important positions, and the eldest prince and the fourth prince want to deal with him for a long time It is not a day or two. ”

"Xiao Minyuan is cautious, Cen Zongguang has been unable to find a mistake by following the rules, this time Luo Wanquan's matter finally gave them a chance, how could they let it go easily?"

"Only by making the matter bigger and making the personnel change in the Ministry of Officials, will they be profitable, and they will be able to find an opportunity to pull Cen Zongguang off the horse, even the fourth prince and Li Fengqian can't help but make a move, but the eldest prince has not moved, is it because Taixu is related to them, so they have scruples, or do they have other plans?"

Feng Qiao has never been worried about Chen Pinyun and the eldest prince, she is worried about the Liu family.

Liu Xiangcheng is a treacherous and cunning person, and his personality is not comparable to Wen Zhenghong and Liu Jingyi at the beginning.

If it were an ordinary person, after learning that the previous things were done by their father and daughter, they would definitely be furious and eager to get rid of it quickly, but Liu Xiangcheng could talk and laugh with Feng Qizhou without changing his face.

In the past three years, although Liu Xiangcheng has fought with Feng Qizhou several times, he has put more energy on currying favor with the eldest prince, giving him advice and supporting the younger generations of the Liu family.

In just three years, the Liu family, on the premise of not letting the emperor suspect, let the children of the Liu family, who were originally far away from the court, enter the court one after another, and Liu Xiangcheng also successfully left the Hanshan Courtyard and re-entered the cabinet to sit in the position of second assistant.

Compared with the Wen family at the beginning, Liu Xiangcheng is more like a person suitable for the court, he is calm, good at forbearance, knows the right time to advance and retreat, and there is no shortage of scheming city government.

If this kind of person can't be killed at once, he will hurt himself, and he needs to guard against the hidden danger of peeking in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to move from time to time.

Feng Qizhou heard Feng Qiao's words thoughtfully, speaking of which, it was indeed a little strange for the eldest prince to remain silent, with Liu Xiangcheng's thoughts, he should not let go of this opportunity, unless, as Feng Qiao said, the matter over there was originally related to the eldest prince.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "The Liu family can't be unguarded, we have to find something for them." ”

Feng Qiao was curious: "What is Daddy going to do?"

Feng Qizhou looked at her: "Do you remember that the eldest prince intended to marry Liu Zheng's daughter as a side concubine?"

Feng Qiao nodded: "Remember." ”

After Liao Chuxiu told her about this before, she asked Feng Qizhou after she came back, and there were more than a little twists and turns.

At this time, hearing Feng Qizhou mention this matter, Feng Qiao knew his thoughts and couldn't help but ask, "Daddy wants to start with Dong Nian?"

Feng Qizhou nodded.

Feng Qiao frowned: "But Dong Nianzhi has been assisting the eldest prince for several years, and the Dong family has long been tied to the eldest prince in the same boat, and it is not so easy to provoke the relationship between them and the eldest prince......

Feng Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Who said that I was going to provoke a relationship between them?"

The interests are extensive, the Dong family has done too many things for the eldest prince, and they have already been marked with the logo of the eldest prince.

Dong Nianzhi is not stupid, how could he give up the eldest prince because of a few words from others?

Feng Qiao raised his head when he heard this: "Then daddy wants to?"

"It's naturally not easy to provoke the Dong family and the eldest prince, but what if you just want to make the Dong family and the Liu family become enemies?" Feng Qizhou raised the corners of his mouth lightly: "Then Dong Nianzhi is not Chen Pinyun, and Liu Zheng is not Liu Xiangcheng." ”

Feng Qiao was stunned at first when he heard Feng Qizhou's words, but then he couldn't help but laugh after understanding the meaning of his words.

Isn't it?

Chen Pinyun is sophisticated, Liu Xiangcheng is forbearing, the two of them have their own city governments, even if there is really a suspicion, they will never put it on the surface, but Dong Nianzhi and Liu Zheng are different.

One of these two people is impulsive, boasting that they have followed the eldest prince for several years, and the other is willing to send his own daughter to others for his own interests, and completely disregard his reputation.

These two people got together, and there were conflicts of interest, how could they not be enemies?

……

……

After Feng Qizhou took Luo Wanquan into the palace, the matter of selling officials too much alarmed the government and the opposition.

Cen Zongguang, the secretary of the ministry, bore the brunt of the attack, and was broken by the angry Emperor Yongzhen with something in the early dynasty, and because of the dirty things found by the "Wang Yang thief" who was suddenly caught, Wei Mincai, who was exposed to corruption and bribery, was directly imprisoned, and for a while the people in the ministry were panicked, for fear that they would suffer.

After going down to the court, Cen Zongguang returned to the house with a broken head and bleeding face, and after the doctor gave him medicine, Cen Zongguang went to the secret passage in the backyard with his head wrapped in white yarn.

After the secret door opened, Cen Zongguang went to a person's house next door through the secret passage, and in the secret room inside, Xiao Minyuan, Rui Min and others were already waiting there.

In front of Xiao Min was the official assessment details of the New Year's Festival last year, and when he saw Cen Guangzong coming in, he didn't even give him the slightest look.

He only felt that Cen Zongguang was really unjustified at the moment in the early court today.

As a secretary of the ministry, he couldn't even figure out the things within his duties, he was stabbed out of such a big basket in a daze, and he almost carried the black cauldron, and it was already good that Emperor Yongzhen didn't ask for his head.

Regardless of whether this thing was done by Wei Min or not, and how much it had to do with Cen Zongguang, in the eyes of Emperor Yongzhen, he was always the only useless minister.

Cen Zongguang also knew that Xiao Minyuan was in a bad mood, so he stepped forward and said a little sneeringly: "Lord Wang..."

Xiao Min didn't even look at him from afar, just threw the booklet in his hand on the table.

"Cen Zongguang, do you really not know about Taixu's affairs?"

Cen Zongguang hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, I really don't know, if I really do this kind of thing, how can I leave such a big leak for people to easily grasp the handle, not to mention that I am now in the position of Shangshu, how can I do such a head-off thing for that little profit?"

After he finished speaking, he saw that Rui Min and the others were all looking at him, with some suspicion in their expressions, and couldn't help but say loudly: "What you are looking at me like this, what I am telling is the truth, although I am greedy for money, but I also know what to do and what not to do." ”

"Even if I want to make money, I will never exchange my official position, once the matter of selling officials is confirmed, it will be a big crime to destroy the nine clans, and the officials are under my control, no matter what chaos happens, I am the first to bear the brunt of the crime. “

When Cen Zongguang spoke, he pointed to his still bleeding head and said angrily: "Look at me, look at the way I am now, I am not a fool, how can I do such a thing that costs my own life?"

"Lord Wang, don't you even believe me?!"

Cheng Yu saw Cen Zong's phosgeneous face and almost swore to the sky, and when he looked at Xiao Minyuan, he was also vaguely angry, and was busy comforting you: "It's not that we don't believe you, it's just that this time the matter is too big, but if there is even the slightest involvement, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"You also know how dangerous what the prince has done, there is no room for mistakes, he asked you like this, just afraid that you really did something, we know in advance and prepare early, so as not to be difficult to deal with when the matter comes. ”

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he turned his head to Xiao Minyuan and said: "Lord Wang, I believe that Lord Cen will not be so confused, and now is not the time to investigate who is right and who is wrong, Luo Wanquan has been escorted to Beijing, the eldest prince and the fourth prince will definitely not let go of this opportunity, although we pushed Wei Mincai out in advance, but his affairs cannot withstand scrutiny at all." ”

"The most important thing for us at the moment is to find a way to calm this matter as soon as possible, so that it doesn't become difficult to clean up in the end, and as for the rest of the matter, we can wait until this matter is dealt with. ”

Xiao Minyuan said coldly when he heard this: "Do you think this king doesn't want to settle this matter?" Now that the whole dynasty is staring at Luo Wanquan, if this king makes any changes, someone will immediately hold the handle, don't say to help him at that time, I'm afraid that even I will be implicated and can't get out." ”

"What's more, you also said that the eldest and fourth will not let go of this opportunity, how can this matter be so easy to settle?"

Cen Zongguang listened to Xiao Minyuan's words and said in a low voice: "In the end, it's all to blame on Feng Qizhou and that kid from the Guo family, if it weren't for them, where would so many things come from......"

"How dare you say that?!"

Xiao Minyuan was still calm, and after hearing Cen Zongguang's words, he immediately said angrily: "Why do you blame Feng Qizhou and Guo Qin? They are people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is natural to investigate and deal with this matter, if you didn't take it upon yourself to let people do something to Luo Wanquan on the road, how could Feng Qizhou suddenly decide to send people to the palace." ”

"Tai Xu's affairs over there have nothing to do with you, why do you want people to intercept and kill Luo Wanquan on the way, are you afraid that this matter will not involve you, or do you think that your current situation is too good, so I can't wait to be the first bird and carry all the troubles for others!?"

Xiao Minyuan became more and more angry the more he spoke, if it weren't for the fact that he still wanted to use Cen Zongguang, if it weren't for the fact that the position of this official secretary would never be given to others, let alone anyone else at this time, even he himself wanted to open Cen Zongguang's head and see what was in his head.

If Cen Zongguang hadn't done it, they would have been able to get rid of it, but he was smart enough to find trouble.

Xiao Xianhong and Xiao Yanxu have been eyeing him all the time, trying their best to deal with him and pull down all the people under him, even if there is nothing to do on weekdays, they will find an opportunity to rush up and bite off the flesh, and now that Cen Zongguang has sent it to the door himself, it is strange that they can let go of this opportunity.

They have coveted the position of the official secretary for a long time, and they are afraid that they will pull Cen Zongguang down and send their own people up.

Cen Zongguang couldn't raise his head when he was scolded by Xiao Minyuan, he really had water in his head at that time, and when he learned that something too much was too much, he actually asked people to intercept and kill Luo Wanquan, and now that he thinks about it, even he can't wait to slap himself a few times and scold himself for being a fool.

Rui Min sat next to him, and when he saw Xiao Minyuan's angry appearance, he said: "Lord Wang, Zong Guang is also confused for a while, Cheng Yu is right, it is useless to investigate who is right and who is wrong at the moment, it is better to find a way to solve the current dilemma first." ”

Xiao Minyuan looked at Rui Min, suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath and asked, "What can you do?"

Rui Min said in a low voice: "Actually, this matter is difficult to say, and it is easy to say, as the prince said, Taixu's matter has nothing to do with Zongguang, since he didn't do it, he is naturally not afraid to investigate, and now that they want to make a big deal about it, the prince might as well follow their thoughts." ”

Cen Zongguang was anxious: "But what about me?"

If there is a big trouble, His Majesty will investigate it, and he will be the first to be unlucky.

Rui Min looked at him: "What are you afraid of, it's not you who deceived and sold official positions, even if you have done it, it's only a crime of negligence, not to mention why do you think Feng Qizhou would hand over Luo Wanquan?"

He looked at Xiao Minyuan as he spoke: "The prince should be very clear about the relationship between you and Feng Qizhou, when did he leave a hand on you, if it was an ordinary time, he would definitely suppress Luo Wanquan's affairs and use it to control you, how could he hand him over for nothing?"

And there is only one reason why he can do this, that is, on the way when Guo Qin escorted Luo Wanquan back to Beijing, Zong Guang was not the only one who shot at them, Feng Qizhou was afraid that keeping Luo Wanquan in his hands would make him a target for all parties, so he directly handed over this hot potato. ”

"Lord Wang, just imagine, how many people in this court can make Feng Qizhou unwilling to provoke us at the same time? In this case, as long as Luo Wanquan does not die, naturally some people are more anxious than us. ”
