13, Prime Minister Wei Xiang

After Guo Yu said goodbye, Bing Ji couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of the world, fickle, and had no mental politics for a while, put away the East Palace Seal Book, and walked out of the Listening Pavilion, and was about to explain to Yu Shicheng, but saw an elderly man wearing a three-beam Jinxian crown with a serene demeanor and relaxed steps towards the Listening Pavilion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as he saw that he was standing under the house, the man couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled and said: "The servant specially asked his subordinates not to pass Shaoqing, why did Shaoqing leave the cabinet?" "Shaoqing is Bingji's word.

Bing Ji couldn't help laughing, and the deacon said: "After sitting in the pavilion for a long time, Fang got up, but he just happened to greet the prince!" ”

The person who came was the prime minister of the dynasty, Gao Ping, Marquis Wei Xiang.

The two have been friends for a long time, although Wei Xiang has always been strict and resolute, he is very easy-going to Bing Ji, if you really count it, Bing Ji is an official to 2,000 stones, and when it is in the middle of the matter, Wei Xiang is still the history of Yangzhou Thorn.

Unlike Bing Ji, who was Huo Guang's long history, Wei Xiang never got Huo Guang's trust, on the contrary, he was imprisoned by Huo Guang for his crimes.

Bing Ji is elegant, and he has never had a bad luck with Wei Xiang's success, and Wei Xiang naturally respects him more.

The two entered the listening cabinet and sat opposite each other, and when the subordinate officials saw this, they understood that the two had something to discuss, so they avoided the listening cabinet and did not dare to disturb.

"But do you have something to order?" Even at the Imperial History Temple, Bing Ji was the first to speak and asked sincerely.

When he was the prime minister a year ago, Wei Xiang was still very unaccustomed to Bing Ji's respect and respect for himself, and he was humble many times, but Bing Ji refused on the grounds that the system could not be abolished, and over time, Wei Xiang could only helplessly go with the flow.

At this moment, listening to Bing Ji's inquiry, Wei Xiang did not directly explain his intention, but asked curiously: "When I entered the door, I saw a Chinese person leaving from the Yushi Temple, didn't Shaoqing just be summoned by His Majesty?" How can there be eunuchs coming in and out? ”

Bing Ji was slightly surprised, and the hands clasped beside him quietly touched the seal book in his sleeve, and then said: "That is Changqiu in the East Palace." ”

"Oh?" Wei Xiang couldn't help but show surprise, "Is there an edict from Changxin Palace?" ”

Bing Ji shook his head: "The Empress Dowager Shangguan has always known etiquette, how can she give an edict to foreign ministers?" Then without waiting for Wei Xiang to ask again, he told the truth: "It should be that the subordinates of the East Palace are worried about the Tingwei Temple, and the Changxin Palace sent an envoy here." ”

Wei Xiang felt strange when he heard it: "Shaoqing's words, it seems that Changxin Palace is not worried about the Huo family's affairs?" ”

Bing Ji glanced at Wei Xiang and frowned slightly: "The book on the Tingwei Temple can't be the meaning of the prince, right?" ”

Wei Xiang was silent, just smiled, and Bing Ji shook his head lightly: "Don't you know that the queen mother can still drive into Weiyang this morning?" ”

"That's why." Wei Xiang whispered, "Changxin Palace is very authoritative, and it is a close relative of the Huo family, in order to avoid many long nights, I and everyone think that it is still an imitation of Queen Xiaohui......"

Wei Xiang said what he and the other courtiers thought, but seeing that Bing Ji's expression became more and more strange the more he listened, and finally he showed a crying and laughing look, so he stopped talking, looked at Bing Ji, and motioned for his explanation.

Bing Ji sighed, and actually opened his mouth to call Wei Xiang's word - since Wei Xiang became the imperial doctor, he has never called this friend like this: "Weak, it's too much!" ”

Wei Xiang sat down and bowed his head to be taught: "Please also ask Shaoqing for advice." ”

"Don't dare." Bing Ji also hurriedly straightened up, "The Huo family's rebellion is already a catastrophe, and it is human nature to fall into the well at this time, but the two should never be implicated, and the Lord will not allow those two to be implicated!" ”

Wei Xiang was so shrewd, he immediately thought it through: "Marquis Xuancheng and Changxin Palace? ”

"Exactly!" Bing Ji nodded.

Even if you put aside the kindness and so on, only consider it from the coldest point of view - Liu Xun's entry into the unification, after all, it was Huo Guang's decision, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan issued an edict, if these two people were involved in the crime of rebellion, it also meant that the legitimacy of Liu Xun's succession to the throne would no longer exist.

As soon as he thought about it, Wei Xiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Xie Bingji: "Xie Shaoqing." ”

Bing Ji received his thanks, and then got up and left the table to help Wei Xiang.

"The prince presides over major affairs, and it is inevitable that there will be a mistake for a while, so there is no need to worry about it." Bing Ji gently comforted Wei Xiang.

Wei Xiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath: "I came here to ask Shaoqing if the Lord has made a decision on Tingwei's book......

Bing Jiwen said with a smile: "The lord will naturally not be unapologetic, but the degree of it needs to be grasped by our subordinates." ”

"Exactly!" Wei Xiang nodded, and then thought: "Then, the Lord ...... to the Middle Palace."

Hearing him mention Huo Chengjun, Bing Ji couldn't help frowning, but said very blandly: "The prince has been in Tingwei Temple before, so I don't know that today in Yuzhong (referring to the time, that is, 9-11 o'clock in the morning), the lord has issued an edict to stop the seal of the middle palace, and do not edict not to leave the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Wei Xiang couldn't help but be stunned again, and then shook his head: "The lord has not always been ...... to the middle palace."

If you talk about acting, after Huo Guang passed away, Liu Xun did not snub Huo Chengjun, why is this ......

Bing Ji sighed, and could only whisper softly: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable......"

Wei Xiang could only nod silently when he heard this, and spoke again after a long time: "Actually, it's okay, after Captain Tingwei writes, I feel inappropriate when I return to the house......"

Bing Ji couldn't help but be surprised, but he heard Wei Xiang sigh: "There are subordinates who say that they should reprimand Xuancheng Hou's former subordinates and the officials he recruited and recommended......"

Bing Ji looked at Wei Xiang worriedly, but when he saw that Wei Xiang was also looking at him with tears and laughter, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "Of course, I was a great general, but the prince was also a good minister recruited by the Marquis of Xuancheng...... Don't the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion know? "In the first year of Yuanping, Wei Xiang was recruited as a doctor by Yangzhou Assassin Shi, and the governor at that time was also the great Sima general Huo Guang.

Wei Xiang couldn't cry or laugh because of this, and when he heard him specially explain, he couldn't help but glance at this friend.

"It's good that my edict came from the imperial court, but you are a real official of the Xuancheng Marquis shogunate!" Wei Xiang refuted angrily, "Don't talk about you and me, how many of the ministers and officials of the DPRK and China can get rid of Xuancheng Hou?" ”

Bing Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighed and said: "Just now in the Xuan Room, after Your Majesty said that the Marquis of Qin is a meritorious service of loyalty and filial piety, he has decided to go to his wife, and there is no need to commit his crime." "Qinhou Jinsheng is also Huo Guang's son-in-law.

Wei was not surprised by this: "The father of the Marquis of Qin, who was already estranged from the Huo family, arrested people one by one last night, and there was no name on the book. ”

"Huo's crime is rebellion,......" Bing Ji shook his head, "This kind of crime is in danger, and the Lord is very worried about it." ”

Wei Xiang nodded: "Indeed, according to the old practice, the great rebellion is to wipe out the three clans, or it is better to finalize the case as soon as possible." ”

Bing Ji nodded: "I just announced the countermeasures, and I also suggested that Your Majesty issue an edict to pardon the crimes." ”

"As it should be." Wei Xiang seconded.

After discussion, Bing Ji sent Wei Xiang out, and the subordinate officials also sent him away. Out of the door of the Imperial Shi Dafu Temple, Wei Xiang signaled Bing Ji to stop, Bing Ji just bowed and saluted, and heard Wei Xiang whisper: "Shaoqing, why did Xuancheng Hou have blue eyes on you that day?" "From the rank of Qianshi's court lieutenant supervisor to the general Che Shi Ling, the general's long history, and then to the Guanglu doctor of the rank of two thousand stones, Bing Ji only took ten years, and it is obvious that Bing Ji is far from being Huo Guang's cronies, but is relied on and trusted by his cronies.

Wei Xiang didn't want an answer at all, so he turned around and left, as if he hadn't said anything.
