It didn't seem to notice the hesitation in Guo Rong's tone, and Chang Si's aging face was full of expectation, and said: "I also hope that Guo Lang can make a statement to the emperor and say something for me to avoid this disaster!" ”

"Chang Gong!" Guo Rong shrugged his brows and said in a deep voice: "Although Rong is confidential, he is afraid that he will be powerless in this matter!" The imperial court has its own system, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and he is deeply disgusted by the act of overstepping the system and usurping power. If I rashly speak, I'm afraid it won't be beautiful! ”

Of course, Guo Rong's words could not convince Chang Si, but his old face sank, and he said: "Guo Lang is now in a high position in the middle of the court, and he has made outstanding achievements in the first battle of Huainan, and is deeply relied on by the Son of Heaven. If you can speak for me, I think the Son of Heaven will give you some face! ”

After speaking, seeing that Guo Rong was silent, Chang Si said again: "If Wen Zhong is here, I will seek him myself, but he is currently working in Xiangzhou, so I can only ask you to come here!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed and said: "The safety and honor of my family, old and young, all depend on you. ”

Seeing Chang Si make this gesture, Guo Rong couldn't help but sigh heavily. Although he didn't want to get into trouble, Chang Si put Guo Wei out, but it was embarrassing and had to be considered.

often thinks about this old man, has a very good relationship with Guo Wei, and has a lot of kindness to him. Guo Wei was lonely and helpless when he was young, he often missed his home for food and clothing, and then he was in a high position, and he still called him an uncle and treated him as a father.

That's why, now that Guo Wei is not here, Guo Rong is the representative of the Guo family in Tokyo, often thinking about decay and decay, so he whispers and asks for it, no matter what, he has to have an explanation.

Of course, after Chang Si stepped into Guo's mansion, Guo Rong actually had to step into this pool of troubled water. Moreover, Guo Rong was worried, feeling that under the turbidity, there was another mystery and hidden danger.

In Guo Rong's impression, the emperor has always been sensible and wise, how could he allow Wang Jingchong to act so arbitrarily and recklessly, and the temperance may be perverted, but he really shouldn't use Wu Desi to rectify it with such fanfare. Starting from Liu Ba, counting Chang Si who sneaked back, it is already the festival of the three towns, not to mention the generals in other places.

Let Wang Jingchong toss it again, I am afraid that there will really be chaos, and the Tokyo court is even more turbulent, and there are many worries......

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, Guo Rong got up and helped Chang Si up, and said abruptly: "Chang Gong, get up, how can the junior deserve this ceremony, if it reaches the ears of his father, I am afraid that he will not be blamed!" ”

"Guo Lang, this is a promise!" Noticing Guo Rong's expression, the look of hope in Chang Silao's eyes became stronger.

After thinking seriously for a while, Guo Rong said to Chang Si solemnly: "Chang Gong, forgive Rong for being blunt, although Wang Jingchong is arrogant, but after Liu Ba, he doesn't dare to be too hasty in doing the facts. Even in Luzhou, safety can be guaranteed. But now that you have left your post without permission, you have come to Beijing to privately consult Guofu, which is very inappropriate and inappropriate, and it is even more hypocritical, and it is ...... to be honest."

Hearing Guo Rong say this, Chang Si's old face changed, beat his thigh, and said in annoyance: "I am frightened and panicked, or should I rush back to Luzhou immediately?" ”

Guo Rong shook his head directly and said, "Now that you have come to Beijing and entered the city, can you still hide it?" ”

In his eyes, there was a faint brilliance, and he said to Chang Si: "In this way, tonight Chang Gong will temporarily live in the mansion, and tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace with you and ask to see Your Majesty." You can be honest with Your Majesty, and I will be there at that time, and for your Majesty, Your Majesty may give me some thin noodles! ”

"Thank you Guo Lang!" With Guo Rong's assurance, Chang Si finally relieved.

Seeing this, Guo Rong added faintly: "I heard that Chang Gong's family has a fortune of 100,000 yuan and a lot of industry, so you can donate it to the treasury and relieve the family's difficulties......

He is often frugal and frugal, and he is a matter of accumulation in Luzhou, and after a few years, his family has a lot of money. The so-called flies don't bite seamless eggs, and the festival generals targeted by Wang Jingchong are all guilty of going to prison.

As for Chang Siwei's official reputation, Guo Rong has also heard of it, but in his heart, he is a little disgusted.

Hearing Guo Rong say this, Chang Si showed a look of pain, hesitated for a while, met Guo Rong's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay!" ”

After the discussion, the servant was ordered to retreat, while Guo Rong paced in the room, his expression was very uneasy. Standing in front of the window, looking at the courtyard through the window lattice, the grass and trees are sparse, the cool breeze is blowing, and the shadows stand for a long time, and I can't help but sigh: "Trouble! ”

"Husband, I'm tired all day, it's late, let's go back to the room to rest!" Liu entered and said to Guo Rong.

Listening to the gentle voice of his good wife, Guo Rong's mood couldn't help but calm down. turned around, there was no trace of solemnity on his face, and said softly: "What about Da Lang and Erlang?" ”

"I'm all asleep!"

......

In the Chongzheng Palace, Guo Rong and Chang Si stood respectfully, and after listening to Chang Si's plea, Liu Chengyou playfully judged Chang Si. Under the emperor's gaze, Chang Si looked very cramped, his eyes couldn't help but tilt towards Guo Rong, and he glanced at him, but Guo Rong didn't seem to realize it.

was a little panicked, but in the face of the emperor's eyes, Chang Si said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old minister lives in Luzhou, and the people of Lumin have 60,000 yuan of silk, and they are willing to go up with coupons!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bonds from his sleeve and handed them to Zhang Dejun and Liu Chengyou. When he said this, Liu Chengyou and Guo Rong frowned. took it and glanced at it a few times, Liu Chengyou secretly thought in his heart, this common thought, lives up to the name of "accumulation", and there are quite a lot of means.

"Chang Qing's good intentions, I will accept it with a smile!" With a faint smile, Liu Chengyou got up, but walked to the stove in the hall, put the stack of coupons into the charcoal, and the flames quickly devoured it.

Turning around, Liu Chengyou stared at Chang Si, only to see that his old face was a little pale, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Qing is old, and he will inevitably go back and forth. In this way, I have you as the squire of the Ministry of Works, and now that Tokyo is undergoing a major overhaul, I can assist in this matter! ”

Directly sent Chang Si away, Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong and saw that his face was calm as usual. Although Guo Rong didn't say a word for Chang Si from beginning to end, others stood here with an attitude. Liu Chengyou felt it, so he also gave him face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your leniency!" After Chang Si retreated, Guo Rong bowed.

Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong and understood what he meant, but said flatly: "Qing misses the old feelings, I can understand!" However, the poverty of the Lu people, I said it bluntly, and I often think about it! Although he is a veteran, some of his practices are really intolerable! ”

Guo Rong responded: "The minister understands! ”

"Can Guo Qing know, why did I let Chang Si stay in Beijing and participate in the construction of the city?" Liu Chengyou stared at Guo Rong and asked.

"The minister understands!" Guo Rong said again.

"He is old after all, and I am afraid that he will be dizzy and will not be able to discern his meaning!" Liu Chengyou said.

Guo Rong still said the same sentence: "The minister understands!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou finally showed a reserved smile: "Then leave it to Guo Qing and point to Yu Changsi!" ”

"Yes!"

After Guo Rong stepped down, Liu Chengyou's expression gradually became blank, and he summoned Li Fang and asked: "During this time, how many pieces of impeachment of Wang Jingchong are there?" ”

"Your Majesty, a total of one hundred and seventy-six Dao!" Li Fang said: "From top to bottom of the court, all ministries and departments, there are officials to play!" ”

"This is a string of threads, all to put pressure on me!" Liu Chengyou said coldly.

Hearing this, Li Fang lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou asked Li Fang: "Mingyuan, do you think I should ask from the ministers to recall Wang Jingchong for disposal?" ”

Hearing this, Li Fang thought for a while, and responded with some caution: "Your Majesty, it is by no means unusual for hundreds of officials to invite together, and this is the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty. In any case, Your Majesty should pay attention to it, and the courtiers are single-mindedly invited, and there is a reason, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Glancing at Li Fang, Liu Chengyou's indifferent expression added a bit of solemnity. Even his close ministers have this attitude, although Li Fang did not say it directly, but he implied a subtlety.

This, for the first time, Liu Chengyou really felt the backlash of the ministers, just because of a Wang Jingchong? Not only......

"Perhaps, it's time to settle the matter......" Liu Chengyou muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
