Chapter 47: Speculation
"The prince has begun to meddle in the military department, although my father did not delegate the power of the military department to the prince after my father's office, but in the eyes of the prince, the military department should already be in his pocket."
King Rui continued: "Judging from the contact between the son of the Zuo Shilang family of the Ministry of War and the people of the prince, at least the Zuo Shilang family of the Ministry of War is already the prince's person. ”
Chang Muzhi couldn't help asking: "When the prince was working in the Ministry of War, he should also know these people in charge of the Ministry of War, I don't know what kind of person is the left servant of the Ministry of War?" ”
King Rui shook his head: "Interests come first, two sides and three swords." ”
The eight-word evaluation is enough to let Chang Muzhi know that this person is not a good person.
What use does the prince have for him to win over such a person?
Chang Muzhi couldn't help sighing: "The prince only thinks about the present, but he doesn't think about the future." If you want to do things for him, you have to have some real material......"
King Rui said: "Although he doesn't look at people's conduct, I have to say that he is also thirsty for talent." ”
"But he seeks talent in order to seek 'wealth'." Chang Muzhi snorted lightly.
King Rui shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said: "The affairs of the military department can be put aside for the time being, but it is the appearance of the nephew of the general of Huaixi...... It's a bit unpredictable. ”
"Xu is here to see his cousin?" Chang Muzhi guessed.
King Rui smiled: "If you really came to see his cousin, then you should go to the prince's mansion to see him." Although his cousin is just the prince Liangdi, the prince treats him as a serious relative, and he will definitely let people treat him well in the prince's mansion. Why did he bother to deal with the prince's small household? ”
Chang Muyi also felt strange when he heard it: "Then according to you, what is he doing here?" ”
King Rui lightly knocked on the Yangmu Eight Immortals table and said in a low voice: "This Song Geng's father is one of the garrison generals stationed in Yanbei Pass. ”
Chang Mu was ignorant for a while, and then suddenly came to his senses and stood up in shock.
"Lord Wang......" She looked at King Rui in surprise: "You guess that the prince colluded with the Yanbeiguan garrison general?" ”
King Rui was very calm: "Impatient what? But guess a thing or two. ”
Chang Mu's heart was in a hurry: "You say it's a guess, but every time you guess, it's true!" ”
King Rui bowed his head and remained silent.
Chang Muzhi paced back and forth, and suddenly said, "No wonder...... No wonder the ninth brother came back and said that the prince mentioned your errand in the military department at the palace banquet, and the people from the Xianbei mission would come out and intervene to speak...... The people stationed at Yanbei Pass had the closest contact with the Xianbei people, and it is not known what agreement they might have reached......
King Rui glanced at Chang Mu in surprise, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, when did you become a female middle school Zhuge ?" ”
"You still have the heart to laugh!" Chang Muzhi's face turned red with anger, and he suddenly understood: "Actually, you have already had such a guess, right?" ”
King Rui raised his shoulders in acquiescence.
Chang Muzhi was simply angry: "If your guess is true, then the prince is ......"
"What's it? Treason with the enemy? King Rui shook his head with a smile: "The prince's goal is the dragon chair in the center of the imperial city, the highest in the Hanyuan Palace. Even if he had a deal with Xianbei, it was only to make some financial gains. He is not a collaborator, let alone a traitor, he is just adding weight to his journey from the prince to the king. Even if my guess is true, even if I get the evidence and put it in front of my father, presumably, my father will still favor him. What's more, a qiē is just speculation. ”
King Rui put down the book in his hand: "To get back to the point, the prince's current behavior seems to be actively seeking power." This doesn't surprise me, Brother Qi Wang, aren't they actively consolidating their power? It is normal for the prince to look anxious. Now that he is the people and forces that he can woo, he will definitely not miss it. Xiao Jiu is one of them, I am also one of them, and the Mo family is one of them. ”
"Then the Mo family has long since declined!" Chang Muzhi couldn't help but say: "Although they have the name of the Guogong Mansion, everyone knows that their family is not even as good as my mother's Anyuan Marquis Mansion!" ”
"Definitely." Rui Wang Zhengse said: "Although the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion has been demoted, but the father-in-law is still there, as long as the Chang family does not commit crimes, the plaque of the Marquis Mansion will not be taken off in his lifetime, and the father and emperor are also reused by the Marquis of Anyuan." But the Fuguo Mansion is not as unbearable as you say. ”
King Rui said: "The Mo family was suspicious of the emperor, so they reined in their thoughts. But their reputation as 'the teacher of all ministers' is not something that the emperor can eliminate. The Fuguo Mansion is supported by the Mo family, and they can't collapse. ”
Chang Muzhi couldn't help but be angry, but he couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, so he could only hate it: "My grandmother said that there is a room of literati in the Fuguo Mansion, who are cunning and intriguing, and most of them are treacherous. I hope that they will fight their own families and fight to the death. ”
King Rui rarely saw her appearance with such a small nose and small eyes, so he couldn't help laughing, took her hand and said: "I said so much, but I just want to tell you that the Mo family is useful to the prince, and the prince will not be willing to let go of the Fuguo Mansion." It was not enough for him to accept a Moh. If he can help the Mo family and let the daughter of the Mo family become the concubine of the Nine Emperors again, firstly, he will give the Mo family an extra layer of protection, secondly, he will also help him win over Xiao Jiu, and thirdly, he may be able to win me over by the way...... Three birds with one stone, one marriage for three interests, a steady profit and no loss business, who doesn't want to do it? ”
Chang Muzhi also calmed down now, and held King Rui's hand: "The ninth brother was calculated by him once, and he can't be counted a second time." ”
King Rui sighed faintly: "Then it depends on ...... What is Fang Shuozhang's idea? ”
After Liu Tong left the Rui Wang's Mansion, he was in a hurry to find Fang Shuozhang, but he gradually slowed down halfway through.
He thought about it, and instead of impulsively going to the Prince's Mansion to find someone, he asked people to inquire about Fang Shuozhang's place of residence, and went all the way to Fang Mansion.
Coincidentally, Fang Shuozhang was actually in the Fang Mansion.
The concierge heard that the person who came was the Nine Emperors, so he hurriedly said humbly: "The Nine Emperors came just in time, the old man went out early this morning, and came back not long after, saying that it was uncomfortable, so he went to the prince's mansion to sue for a crime and asked for leave......"
A smile crossed Liu Tong's eyes.
He guessed correctly, Fang Shuozhang at this time didn't go to the prince to say anything.
Literati are all like this, their self-esteem is too strong, and they can't accept that they lose to others for a while.
Liu Tong was respectfully greeted by the gatekeeper and entered the gate of the Fang Mansion.
He looked left and right, and his eyebrows sank slightly.
This place, Runzhi has been here for two years......
Why is it so unpleasant to think about it?
Liu Tong stiffened his face and snorted coldly.
The little guy who welcomed people in on the side trembled, for fear that he had made something wrong and made this royal nobleman unhappy.
