"Xia Guan is not anyone's person, Xia Guan is only finally in his heart, and finally righteous! Master Wei doesn't have to think about it. ”

Wei Ming was slightly stunned, and couldn't guess what he meant for a while, but after a while, he seemed to understand a little, looked at Zhou Wenxin a little sneeringly, and said, "So, do you want me to recommend King Rui to the emperor?" ”

Zhou Wenxin no longer beat around the bush, and said directly: "Now that something has happened to the Ministry of Industry, although the emperor has not dealt with Huo Pei'an clearly, he is somewhat estranged in his heart. Looking at the court, the emperor can really trust and rely on you, Lord Wei, so when choosing candidates again, your advice will be particularly important. ”

That's why the old man needs to be extra cautious. Ruiwang is good... But..."

"Adults might as well just say it! The reason why the adults hesitated again and again was not because they felt that King Rui was not qualified, but because they were worried that King Rui was too qualified! ”

Zhou Wenxin's words were euphemistic and subtle, but Wei Ming clearly heard the deep meaning. Indeed, as Zhou Wenxin guessed, Rui Wang's means and talents, Wei Ming did not doubt it. At the beginning, in the matter of the household department, King Rui set aside a thousand catties in two and two, and solved the problem of officials borrowing official money privately with a few small tunes, which also made Wei Ming look at King Rui with admiration. But things are one yard at a time, after all, King Rui was once caught in a case of rebellion, if he was given too much power, when he was growing his wings, would the tragedy of the past be staged again? Wei Ming, he can't be careless!

"Not bad! At the time of the incident, Lord Zhou, you were still in the court, and you also witnessed the whole process of the rebellion case that year. How close the relationship between Yun Xu and King Rui was back then, the two families were even engaged, and Yun Xu wanted to marry his daughter to King Rui as a concubine. Wei Ming said in a deep voice, his expression even more cold.

"But the emperor has already found out that it has nothing to do with King Rui, so why should your lord bite King Rui to death?" Zhou Wenxin's eyes darkened slightly, Sven's elegant face became more and more blue, and his jaw was so tight that it seemed to be about to shatter.

Wei Ming's eyes were deep and unpredictable, his eyes were like sparks, tossing and turning, but his tone was instantly cold: "Yun Xu rebelled, after success, he always had to find someone to inherit the throne, right?" It is impossible for Yun Xu to sit on the dragon chair by himself, and if he thinks about it, he can only support King Rui! Therefore, even if King Rui is not directly involved, it is always impossible to know the truth at all, right? ”

"The truth?" Zhou Wenxin snorted coldly, narrowing his eyes disdainfully, his gaze was a little contemptuous, "What is the truth?" Can Lord Wei guarantee that what you know must be the truth? ”

Wei Ming's expression froze and asked, "What do you mean by this?!" Could there be another hidden story in this matter? ”

"Why are you so categorical about this? Firmly believe? Zhou Wenxin asked rhetorically.

Wei Ming sneered, and said as a matter of course: "This case is presided over by Dali Siqing, the evidence is conclusive, and the presiding judge is a close friend of the old man for many years, so there will be no problem." ”

The Dali Siqing in Wei Ming's mouth is Wei Ming's classmate and friend, Song He. This person was an official in the same dynasty as Wei Ming, and Song He also won the trust of the first emperor, so the first emperor appointed Song He, who was the secretary of Dali Temple, to serve as the chief judge of Yun Xu's rebellion case, and collect evidence that Yun Xu colluded with General Cheng Ao and raised troops to rebel. Song He really did not live up to the expectations of the first emperor, and collected all the evidence in just ten days, and the evidence was conclusive, so that Yun Xu could not refute it. Later, Yunxu could not escape the blame for the crime of autonomy, so he wrote a bloody letter and personally admitted all the crimes.

Because Song He had a meritorious role in hearing the rebellion case, the first emperor also wrote an inscription afterwards and gave him a plaque of 'fair and honest'. But for some reason, when the Song family was in the limelight, Song He's body deteriorated, and he died of illness within a few years. His son Song Xiaoyi also chose to quit the court shortly after his father's death, and has been doing business for a living since then.

Wei Ming and Song He have been friends for many years, so he is naturally convinced of Song He's review results, so he has always been suspicious of King Rui for so many years and is quite guarded.

Zhou Wenxin was very clear about the relationship between Wei Ming and Song He, so he knew that no matter what he said at this time, Wei Ming would not believe him. The bell must be tied to the bell, and one day Wei Ming will know the truth from someone, and he will regret his persistence in the past few years. Of course, this qiē is still a later story, and Zhou Wenxin will not say anything now.

Zhou Wenxin was noncommittal to Wei Ming's words, and immediately pulled the topic back. "Let's take the conversation away, now it's time to discuss who to recommend to be in charge of rebuilding the levees, and why bring in the past. Lord Wei, if you don't choose King Rui, do you have a better candidate? ”

Wei Ming frowned and pondered for a long time, time passed quietly, as if it had been a few spring and autumn seasons, Wei Mingfang sighed deeply, and said: "The people in the Ministry of Industry are estimated to be Lin Peng and Huo Pei'an's people, and their hands and feet are somewhat unclean, but if they are selected from the rest of the officials of the six departments, it is also inappropriate." ”

"That's what Xia Guan wants to say. Regardless of whether King Rui has been against it in the past, at least at this moment, he will not oppose it, and he will not dare to oppose it! This can be seen from the fact that he took the initiative to ask to go to the Hanlin Academy. When he was in the Showa Palace, King Rui had a sentence that was not wrong, the lesser of two powers! At present, the most urgent issue is how to settle the food and lodging of the affected people in the south, and how to control the outbreak of floods. As for the rest, you can put it aside for the time being and discuss it later. ”

Wei Ming was still worried: "Let it go?" I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Zhou Wenxin was well versed in the principle of both soft and hard, and then suddenly softened his breath and patiently persuaded: "Does Lord Wei underestimate the emperor, or underestimate our group of court officials. Rui Wang Danfan has a little bit of a desire to rebel, will the adults and the lower officials sit idly by? What's more, King Peri just went to the south, what kind of mess could happen? First, he has no military power, and second, he has no power, so what is he opposed? Just by building a dam and encircling a few local officials, can it be reversed? It's a fantasy! I'm afraid Lord Wei is too much of a bow and snake shadow, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, right? ”

Wei Ming still kept his face calm and didn't speak, but his heart was already moved by Zhou Wenxin's words, and a pair of eyes turned hesitantly.

Zhou Wenxin drank the last drop of wine in the cup in one gulp, I don't know if it was because of alcohol or excitement, his cheeks were slightly red. "Once King Rui completes the task of supervision, he still has to return to the capital and the imperial court, and his every move cannot escape the eyes of the emperor and your lordship." Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, if King Rui is really a little ready to move, then the adult can also strangle his bad thoughts in swaddling clothes. (To be continued.) )
