Chapter 160: Defection
Seeing that Zhang Sheng didn't speak, the prime minister said coldly: "What are you thinking?" Why don't you talk back? ”
Zhang Sheng smiled a little embarrassedly, hugged his fists and said, "I'll prepare when I go back, and when I'm ready, the lower officials will go up and impeach Lord Wang Yuanzhi." ”
The prime minister nodded with satisfaction, "You did a good job, go down, finish this matter as soon as possible, I believe in your ability." ”
Zhang Sheng nodded, the corners of his mouth barely hooked up a smile, he felt more and more that things were not good, as the saying goes, things are not more than three, if it continues like this, I am afraid it will be too conspicuous, the emperor will definitely notice him, and he has no guarantee in his hands, and if he dies, he can only swallow the crime himself, and die of grievance.
He turned his head and went out, glanced at the sun, and now he was in a dilemma, no matter what, whether he succeeded or not, his career would be affected, and it was very likely that he would end up with a dead body.
He sighed again, his eyes full of determination, "It's time to think about your future, no matter what, you have to leave a way back for yourself." He glanced back at the prime minister's location and sneered, "Don't blame me for being unjust if you're unkind." ”
It was night, in the luxurious and extravagant house, there were bursts of sheng songs, singing and dancing, but the owner sitting on the upper seat did not seem to be in the mood to watch the singing and dancing, frowning from time to time.
"Have you arrived?" Gu Xizhou asked the housekeeper beside him.
The housekeeper shook his head, "I asked Xiao Liuzi to wait at the door, and I will report to you when I come, and I won't delay." ”
Gu Xizhou nodded, "The prime minister is really strictly guarded, if you don't know the breakthrough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do something to him, this old fox is really ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous if he is unkind." ”
The housekeeper sighed, "Fifth Prince, you lost two generals in a row, although you saved your life, but in the end, it is useless." ”
"He caught me off guard, I didn't even have time to react, and this time I'm going to fight back completely." Gu Xizhou said coldly.
While he was talking, a small guy came outside, "Prince, the person has arrived." ”
"Come in, please." Gu Xizhou said in a deep voice.
A man in a white robe and a jade crown was invited in, clenched his fists and knelt on the ground and said, "Xiaguan Zhang Sheng has seen the six princes. ”
Gu Xizhou personally helped him up, "You don't need to make this big gift in front of me." ”
Zhang Sheng got up and nodded, "The sixth prince is really broad-minded, and the lower officials admire him." ”
"They are all officials of the same dynasty, why bother with this big gift, I'm just not used to it, you're too humble, sit down, little girl, serve tea." Gu Xizhou sat down, and Zhang Sheng dared to sit down.
It seems that in order to test each other and find out each other, the two sides did not talk about that topic in time, Zhang Sheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This tea is really sweet and sweet, it seems to be only in Shuzhong." ”
"Yes, but it's also old tea, this year's new tea hasn't arrived yet, if this year's new tea arrives, it will taste better, but the world is a disaster, there are many refugees, and the road is not safe, I'm afraid this year's new tea can't be drunk." Gu Xizhou said with some regret.
"I can't drink it this year, and there is a coming year, I don't know if Xiaguan will be lucky enough to taste this new tea in Shuzhong next year?" Zhang Sheng asked.
Gu Xizhou understood what he meant, and smiled faintly, "This tea fragrance is so delicious, it would be better for one more person to taste it, if you have the opportunity in the coming year, I really want to invite Master Zhang to taste the taste of this new tea, it is extraordinarily sweet and mellow." ”
Zhang Sheng smiled and hugged his fists, "If it can be like this, it will really be a blessing for Zhang Sheng's three lives." ”
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and they will have their own good tea to drink in the coming year." Gu Xizhou picked up the teacup and laughed, "Then I will replace the wine with tea and salute our future partner Master Zhang." "Qiqi Chinese Network
"This tea is still not as pleasant as the wine." Zhang Sheng drank in one gulp, as crisp as drinking, "Xiaguan finally found a big tree to follow." ”
Gu Xizhou was stunned and laughed, "What does the prime minister want to do next?" ”
"He wants to move Lord Wang Yuanzhi, and he has already ordered the officials to prepare materials, but most of them are framed materials, and he just needs to let Lord Wang pay more attention, this material must not frame Lord Wang." Zhang Sheng said.
"He's really going to kill all my people." Gu Xizhou pondered slightly, "But I won't give him such a chance, you prepare a copy of that material for me." ”
Zhang Sheng nodded, "The lower officials have already thought of this, and the materials are here." "Say it, and take out an oiled paper bag from his bosom, which is heavy and looks like there are a lot of things.
Gu Xizhou opened it and took a look, "The prime minister is really well prepared, any of these things are sunk in front of the emperor, it will make the emperor have a grudge against the king, the prime minister is trying to kill everyone under my hands." ”
"The prime minister has a list there, I don't know where it came from, he wants to kill everyone on the list, and Lord Wang Yuanzhi is just the next one." Zhang Shengdao.
"I really don't know where I offended the Prime Minister, it's actually worth him to deal with me like this, and the people under my hands, he has to deal with them?" Gu Xizhou said coldly.
"I don't understand what happened to the Prime Minister, but I know that he wasn't in a good mood some time ago, irritable and anxious, as if something big had happened, and he should be like this because of this." Zhang Shengdao.
Gu Xizhou couldn't think about it so much, he took care of the things in front of him first, and after that, it was not too late to talk about it later.
He asked Zhang Sheng to go back, and promised that if he handled this matter well, he would definitely reward him heavily, and Zhang Sheng hurriedly thanked him.
At night, quietly went out, no one noticed Zhang Sheng's arrival, and no one noticed his departure.
was about to fall asleep, but news suddenly came from outside, saying that it was news from Yanzhou, and people were immediately let in, and it was the news brought by the Yanzhou County Public.
Gu Xizhou glanced at him, "Who county sent you?" ”
"Yes." The little guy said in a deep voice.
"Any news over there?" Gu Xizhou asked.
Xiao Wu nodded, "The county prince said, the matters on the five princes' side are almost ready, and they will be ready to start construction soon, and the county prince wants to start with building materials, but there has been no way to stop their progress." ”
It's really stupid, Gu Xizhou was angry in his heart, but he still didn't show much on his face, he couldn't get over there, so he could only hand over this matter to He Zhenglin to complete, but he never thought that he couldn't do this thing well.
"You go back and tell him that no matter what you do, you're going to slow it down." Gu Xizhou said.
Xiao Wu nodded, "This county prince is already thinking of a way, and he doesn't like the fifth prince very much, the county prince grew up in Yanzhou, was born and raised, and is very familiar with that place, so everything is under control, and please rest assured that the sixth prince can rest assured." ”
"Of course I'm relieved, what's not to worry about? Otherwise, I would not have handed over this matter to him and returned to the capital, and you went back and told him that if this matter is done well, there will be a reward, and I will protect him in the spring of the next year. Gu Xizhou said in a deep voice.
Now there are not many people he can use, so he can only stabilize people's hearts first, otherwise he will really become a loner.
"The villain will go back and report to the county magistrate." The little servant knelt down and bowed, and was about to go out, but Gu Xizhou stopped him, "Go back and tell me He Xiangong, let him find another house, as long as it can slow down the progress, any way can be done, I have asked people to inquire, the construction of the dam has a construction period, and it must be completed within that construction period, otherwise the river will rise, and the construction project will not be completed in time, let him pay attention to the time." ”
