29: Do not go together
Where will Rong Min confess, it is just a perfunctory past of coaxing and deception, and Qian Zhi also knows that he has made friends with courtiers for many years and has a wide range of contacts, although he is still a child who is not deeply involved in the world, but Rong Yu will not be a mediocre talent. When he asked this time, he was originally just worried that Rong Jiang would be in this matter, and he was afraid that Zhao Heng would take the handle in the future, but now he knew that it was Rong Min's hands and feet, although he still felt that it was inappropriate, he also relaxed his heart and didn't ask more.
Rong Jiang was relieved to see his younger brother perfunctory, and then listened to Qian Zhi and brought up the words in front of him again: "You are not in the house to accompany you, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
"Speaking of this, I have a serious matter that I want you to explain." replied first, stepped to Qian Zhi's side and stood upright, and then replied, "When Sister Yuan returned home, she told me one thing - His Majesty sent an edict to the prince, telling him to leave for Jiangbei three days after the wedding, to investigate the corruption and fraud cases of officials in detail, and the king of England went along," she paused and asked, "This corruption and fraud case, didn't you hear a trace of wind in front of you?" ”
After speaking, she saw Qian Zhi's frowns, she was a little uneasy for a while, and when she heard Rong Yuan say these words in the mansion before, she also noticed a trace of inappropriateness, but now seeing Qian Zhi's appearance, the uneasiness spread even more.
"Jiangbei Kai Enke a year ago, presumably His Majesty deliberately did not press the report and waited until the prince's wedding-" He didn't say anything about the latter words, as for what to do when the prince got married, Rong Jiang and Rong Min were not fools, so they naturally knew what to do.
Rong Min grabbed in front of Rong Jiang this time and spoke, and asked as if he was puzzled: "It stands to reason that there is a corruption and fraud case in Jiangbei, even if you want to assign a Qin Cha to investigate the case, it should be appointed from among the ministers or officials of the Criminal Department and the Third Division." If His Majesty is afraid that after the prince and his second sister get married, he will have too close contacts with the Rong family, and he will send him out, it is understandable. But His Royal Highness," he squinted and thought for a moment, then shook his head to himself, "he must have used some method to make His Majesty have to allow him to stay in the capital." Since this is the case, he should be regarded as dead in Yecheng, and he must not be delegated. If he goes to Jiangbei this time, he can really handle this case, wouldn't he have won the hearts of the people in Jiangbei? ”
Qian Zhi nodded at him appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have grown more and more." ”
"That's what I thought too." Rong Jiang saw that he had no words to say, so he replied on the side, "Actually, Sister Yuan said that she was worried, not unfounded. In the important border areas of Jiangbei, there have always been elite garrisons, and when I was in the past years, there were many disagreements between the army and the government and the ministers, and the forces in the state capital were also complicated."
Before she finished speaking, Qian Zhi interrupted her with a smile: "You should know that Jiangbei has a large jurisdiction, and there are five prefectures and two prefectures under it. But you probably don't know that His Majesty only holds Lin'an Mansion, Yongchang Mansion and Anshun Prefecture in his hands, the prefects of Duyun Mansion and Shunning Prefecture are Cao Bin's people, and Shun'an Mansion and Pu'an Prefecture are held by the Han family. As for the Jiangbei military-"
Qian Zhidun looked sideways at Rong Jiang, and added with a smile: "Even if you are no longer here, the 50,000 elite divisions stationed in Jiangbei are also in the hands of Cheng Yi." The Cheng family is also the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and Cheng Yi grew up with you, and he is very affectionate, and he has always been the most unconvincing. Tell me for yourself, this time the prince and the king of England went to investigate the case, if they said that they could not offend anyone, would you believe it? Just pity the prince, according to me, His Majesty's original intention was just to transfer him out of Beijing, and when he went to Jiangbei, he would send secret decrees to all parts of Lin'an, so that they could fully cooperate with the prince, and Cao Bin, as the uncle of the country, would naturally not embarrass him, and the queen mother loved her grandson even more, and would never let the Han family stumble on the prince, so even though the prince would be a little embarrassed, it would never be tricky. It's just that now that the king of England has returned to Beijing, once the king of England goes with him, I am afraid that this errand will not be easy to do. ”
But before Rong Jiang had time to think about it, Rong Min raised his voice and almost shouted: "Cao Bin? His kind of straw bag uncle, still has henchmen in Jiangbei? Saying that, Jian Mei unconsciously leaned together, "The prefect is located in the fourth grade, is he willing to listen to the drive of people like him?" ”
"Cao Bin is only fighting in the middle palace and the crown prince, and relying on the reputation of the Cao family, it is not difficult to take the two prefects under his command at all." Rong Jiang glanced at him, as if he was very unhappy with his fuss like this. After a while, he said to Qian Zhi again, "According to my grandfather's meaning, the British King's trip is indeed His Majesty's intention to make things difficult, and the Jiangbei forces are so mixed, once the officials are really investigated, it will inevitably alarm the forces of all parties, and it must not be more serious, it is really a chore." ”
Qian Zhi was noncommittal, but just pondered with an "um". Seeing this, Rong Jiang and the others didn't dare to bother him, but waited patiently in the study.
After about a cup of tea, Qian Zhicai reopened his mouth: "Sister Yuan'er's original intention is probably to ask you to go to your majesty to ask for a decree and go to Jiangbei together." After all, with you going with you, the military will definitely support the prince and the king, and Cheng Yi will always cooperate with the prince in your face no matter how unconvinced he is. ”
Rong Jiang's face was flushed, and he was quite embarrassed, Qian Zhi looked at her and wanted to tease her a few words, but after thinking about it, he endured it. Rong Min quietly poked her back with a finger on the side, and when she looked back, she clearly saw that his eyes were full of banter, so she spat him.
Qian Zhi coughed lightly, and was serious, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised to reveal the feelings at the moment, as if he was afraid that Rong Jiang would be annoyed, so he opened his mouth and continued the words forward: "But I want to sue you today, and I will never go to your majesty to ask for a decree." ”
Rong Jiang was stunned, probably didn't expect him to say this. Originally, she also knew Rong Yuan's intentions, she had just heard him say that the Jiangbei forces were so complicated, and she thought that she would be asked to accompany the prince to go, after all, once the military was willing to cooperate, the ministers in the state capital would not dare to embarrass them openly, but she didn't expect that she would never be allowed to go.
As soon as she wanted to speak, Qian Zhi patted her hand and sighed: "You have been operating in Jiangbei for several years, and the state capital Wenchen is afraid of your outstanding military achievements, and second, he is afraid that you are from a family. If it is said that His Majesty is determined to embarrass the King of England, once you stand up and ask for the same order, you are standing on the opposite side of His Majesty, and he took your military power and did not stare at you, do you still want to send it yourself? ”
"But the second sister is already the crown princess, should we also let the prince go?" Rong Min naturally understood the truth after Qian Zhi's words, but when he thought of Rong Yuan's situation, he couldn't help but speak.
Qian Zhi shook his head and said to him in a serious tone: "No matter what, the crown prince is the prince of the prince, and you must always remember this." Seeing that Rong Min was still puzzled, he added, "If the errand is not done well, His Majesty will reprimand the prince at most for being young and ignorant, but the King of England has been in the Yunzhou fief for many years, do you think he can be good?" ”
Rong Min looked at Qian Zhi, and then at Rong Jiang, and suddenly felt that the four words of Heavenly Family ruthlessness were no longer so right. He grew up being held by his family since he was a child, and there was no such trick among his brothers and sisters, and now he knows that the Son of Heaven calculates his uncle like this, and even does not hesitate to lose his own son, he can't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he can't help but be afraid, if Zhao Heng always hates the Rong family, where should the Rong family go.
