Chapter 524: Did Wei Zhongxian Swell?
Now that he understands His Majesty's intentions, Xiao Rui knows the measure of his actions. If the direction of effort is wrong, even if you work very hard and are very diligent, you will be crowned with the title of "stupid".
So it's a good thing to have a counselor.
Since having four top strategists, Xiao Rui has become more and more fond of asking strategists about big and small things, it's not that he is lazy, because a person's thinking is not comprehensive, and it is easy to make mistakes, and secondly, he is afraid of guessing the wrong meaning by cranky, and the environment he is in now is not what he used to be, so Xiao Rui can't be relaxed and careless.
When Xiao Rui was a secretary in his last life, he needed to figure out the meaning of the leader at all times, such as going to a massage, if the leader fell in love with the slender No. 2, he would mistakenly choose the plump No. 3, wouldn't it be troublesome, should you toss the old bones of the leader? Once you have chosen the old aunt No. 4, then obediently let it go.
So it's very important to do the right thing.
Since it is the evidence provided by Wei Zhongxian that exposes Yang Feiyuan's suspicion of forming a party for personal gain, then you might as well meet him and calculate the time, Xiao Rui has not seen Wei Zhongxian for a long time, I heard that the manager of the East Factory is very comfortable, and he has lived a very nourishing life, and he has also learned the set of Zhao Gaogao, who has nothing to do with the maid to feed a grape, and Yizi has collected a lot, and he has made up enough for three tables of mahjong.
Did Wei Zhongxian swell?
No, this is Wei Zhongxian's cleverness.
He has both the ability and the problem of performance, so that he can sit firmly in the position of the palm print of the East Factory. You must know that he was not Hai Dafu's person at the beginning, and if he wanted Hai Dafu not to replace him, he not only had to do things well and work efficiently, but also had to send his handle to Hai Dafu's hands, so that Hai Dafu could rest assured and keep his position.
Hai Dafu is like a grandson in front of Xiao Rui, he is bullied all day long, but dealing with Wei Zhongxian is like pinching an ant to death, so Wei Zhongxian can't afford not to pay attention to it.
Jia Xu has always been in contact with Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian has asked to see Xiao Rui many times to show his loyalty, but Jia Xu refused. There is really nothing to use him now, and secondly, I am afraid of arousing His Majesty's alarm.
Jia Xuyin is used to being yin, and he has developed the habit of being careful everywhere, he doesn't dare to forget the truth that there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that now the secret of Xiao Rui's relationship with Dongchang has been learned by Duan Wang Xiao Feng and Ruyang Wang, and too much contact is likely to be used by the two.
In order to make money this time, Xiao Rui asked Jia Xu to notify Wei Zhongxian.
Still in the underground secret room of the former Xianwang Mansion, a familiar place, Xiao Rui saw Wei Zhongxian who came in a hurry. It was late autumn, Wei Zhongxian was sweating profusely, and it could be seen that he was running very hard.
That's the attitude.
When the leader summoned him, he immediately rushed over non-stop, and after Wei Zhongxian came, he must have rested outside for a while to calm down his wheezing voice and avoid colliding with His Royal Highness the Prince, and then entered the house.
See, it's intentions.
So there are so many eunuchs, why Wei Zhongxian can be nine thousand years old, it is not unreasonable!
"Slave Wei Zhongxian, meet Your Highness, Your Highness is blessed with Jin'an!" Wei Zhongxian actually knelt on the ground and prayed, it seemed that he saw Xiao Rui for the first time in a few months, and he didn't see him for a day as if he had been in three autumns, but he had tears in his eyes, and his eyes were moist.
Look, this is acting, playing the emotional card.
It's just such a dog's leg, so let's say anyone likes to reuse it.
Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, please get up, please come here in your busy schedule, it's really hard, sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
"His Royal Highness summoned, the slave and maid naturally hurried over, I wanted to drive the horse but was afraid that the horse would run through the street and attract people's attention, and finally had no choice but to take the carriage, it was late, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive the sin." Wei Zhongxian dared to sit down, stood respectfully beside him, and bowed in response.
Xiao Rui was just polite, if he really sat down, Xiao Rui would be angry.
"I invited Lord Wei to come this time, because the palace heard His Majesty mention that Lord Yang Kaiyuan and Lord Yang formed a party for personal gain, and it happened that the palace also has the imperial history of the right capital, so His Majesty asked the palace to investigate and investigate, I heard that the situation was reported by you, do you have more detailed evidence in your hands?" Xiao Rui asked.
Wei Zhongxian responded: "It is indeed the slave maid who submitted the evidence of Lord Yang's crime, as for the evidence of Yang Kaiyuan's party and selfishness, the slave maid also has a part, and the slave maid sent someone to send it in the afternoon." It's just..."
Xiao Rui saw him hesitate and asked, "What?" Isn't it convenient for Lord Wei to say? ”
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." The slave maid did not dare to conceal His Royal Highness, in fact, the investigation of Yang Kaiyuan's criminal evidence was all arranged by Lord Palm Print, and the slave maid found in the investigation that although Yang Kaiyuan was suspected of forming a party to protect the family behind him, the plot was not serious, and it was very difficult to bring down Yang Kaiyuan. ”
After all, Yang Kaiyuan is a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, and he has many connections, and he wants to convict him if he has no major crimes, and Xiao Rui has to weigh it even if he is the prince.
However, Xiao Rui had already understood His Majesty's intentions, so he just found a reason to drive Yang Feiyuan out of the cabinet, not to participate in political affairs, and then to make a lot of money from the Yang family behind him. It doesn't take a big sin to do these two things. However, Wei Zhongxian's words also reminded Xiao Rui. Directly attacking Yang Kaiyuan will arouse the vigilance of the ministers of civil and military affairs in the imperial court, and they all have intricate relationships between them, which often affect the whole body.
Therefore, Xiao Rui should not directly find fault with Yang Kaiyuan's party and protect the family, but should do the opposite, provoke trouble from the Yang family, and involve Yang Kaiyuan, in this case, there will be no such problems.
"Wei Zhongxian, you have reliable spies in Chang'an, can you find out what sins the Yang family has committed to this palace." Xiao Rui asked.
Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave and maid will arrange it as soon as they go back." ”
Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!" Lord Wei's loyalty is in his heart, and he will not be stingy with rewards in the future. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, the slave will leave first." Wei Zhongxian respectfully retreated.
With Dongchang's investigation, it is easy to find out the problems of the Yang family, but it is a pity that Hao Yun is not in Kyoto to inspect the state capital, otherwise it would be better to let him do this, so who is responsible now, Xiao Rui still has to plan a thing or two.
When they returned to the East Palace, the crown princess Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue also happened to come back from the Tang Palace, and the two girls went to be lobbyists, just looking at the shaking of their heads and sighing, the situation seemed to be not good.
Zhuge Liuying said: "After Sister Ruoxue and I met Princess Tang, we chatted for a long time before we brought the topic to the side concubine, who knew that Princess Tang was very resolute, and threatened that if His Royal Highness King Tang dared to marry Princess Tang, she would dare to take the child in her belly to become an orphan and widow!" So my sister and I didn't dare to say much, for fear of arousing her suspicions. ”
Li Ruoxue nodded and said, "Yes!" Princess Tang can't move the fetus now, Your Highness, what should I do about this?"
Xiao Rui scratched his head, he really didn't expect Kong Xun'er's attitude to be so resolute, it was really... I want to laugh, haha, Xiao Yan, you also have today's end!
Schadenfreude is schadenfreude, busy or busy, Xiao Rui found Jia Xu and asked him to give advice.
When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately became interested and said: "I'd rather demolish ten temples than destroy a family, if Jia can achieve this marriage, it will be a good story, and this matter will be handed over to his subordinates, Your Highness, please rest assured." However, this matter still needs the full cooperation of His Royal Highness King Tang. ”
Xiao Rui said: "You go directly to King Tang, and after explaining your intentions, he will respect you as a guest, haha..."
"Yes!" Jia Xu immediately went to Tang Wangfu.
In a flash, it was afternoon, so Xiao Rui returned to the East Palace, and when he was about to reach the noon gate, he happened to meet the carriage of the Yasukuni Gong, and Yasukuni got off the carriage and prepared to enter the palace.
Xiao Rui shouted: "Yasukuni is in a hurry, isn't it that your hands are itching again, do you want to talk to Your Majesty?" ”
When the Yasukuni Gong heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was the prince, so he immediately turned back and said, "Your majesty will meet His Royal Highness the Prince." If you go back to Your Highness, you will enter the palace today because you have encountered an urgent matter and have come to see Your Highness. ”
Xiao Rui immediately showed an inquiring look.
Yasukuni Gong did not hide it, and then said: "Lu Su, the daughter of Ming Yibo, lives in the Xiaguan Mansion, and she has not come back since she left the mansion yesterday. Xiaguan and Ming Yibo are close friends, and Lu Pheasant lives in Xiaguan's mansion and has the obligation to take care of her safety, but now that no one can find her, Xiaguan is anxious, so Xiaguan enters the palace to ask for His Royal Highness, and asks Lu Pheasant if he knows where Lu Su is. ”
"Lu Su is missing?" Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, and then said: "The Duke of Yasukuni will enter the palace with the palace, and you still need to ask Lu Pheasant about this matter." ”
"Good!" The Duke of Yasukuni took a step behind and walked into the palace with Xiao Rui.
On the way, Xiao Rui remembered Xiaoxiao's reminder to himself, so he asked: "Duke Jingguo, this palace heard that Lu Pheasant's entry into the palace as a female official is the suggestion of Grandpa Guo, is there such a thing?" ”
Yasukuni nodded and said, "It's indeed the idea of the lower officials, could it be that Lu Pheasant didn't take good care of it, which made His Highness displeased?" ”
Xiao Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true!" Lu Pheasant is easy-going, understands the rules and is measured, and is very much in line with the appetite of the palace. However, it can be seen that Lu Pheasant is a very assertive woman, if he is unwilling to enter the palace, no one can force it. It seems that when Grandpa Guo suggested to His Majesty, he must have asked Lu Pheasant's opinion, but there is such a thing! ”
Jingguo Gong nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise, and you can't hide anything from Your Highness." However, in order to take care of Miss Lu, when the lower official told His Majesty, he did not say it directly. ”
"It's the Duke of Yasukuni who thinks about it carefully, but the palace doesn't quite understand, why is Lu Pheasant willing to enter the palace?" Xiao Rui asked the key.
Yasukuni Gong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is handsome and extraordinary, it's not impossible for Lu Pheasant to admire him, as the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first..."
Xiao Rui subconsciously touched his cheek, was it really for his appearance?
Although he is too handsome, he still lacks something if he wants to use this reason to say himself. So what secret is Lu Pheasant hiding?
Secondly...... I always feel that Yasukuni Gong is a little too attentive.
The two came to the East Palace, and Xiao Rui ordered someone to summon Lu Pheasant to explain the situation.
When Lu Pheasant heard that his sister was missing, his face changed, and anxiety filled his heart.
"Lu Pheasant, do you and Lu Su have any enemies in Kyoto?" Sensing the change in Lu Pheasant's face, he pretended to ask casually.
Lu Pheasant shook his head and said, "My sister and I first arrived in Kyoto, and we have no enemies. Lu Su has a brilliant nature, could she have met a bully because she was upset, so she was arrested? ”
"It's also possible, it's even more dangerous in that case." Yasukuni said worriedly.
Lu Pheasant knelt down directly and begged Xiao Rui: "Your Highness, the slave maid begs His Highness to agree to let the slave maid out of the palace, the slave maid only has this one sister, and I depend on each other for my life, if something happens to her, the slave and maid have no face to face the dead father." ”
Xiao Rui readily agreed, and said, "Yes, the palace is gracious, and you will go out of the palace with the Duke of Yasukuni to ensure that Lu Su is safe before returning to the palace." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Pheasant thanked him for his kindness, and then left the palace with the Duke of Yasukuni.
After the people left, Xiao Rui exchanged for Li Yuanfang and asked him to send someone to spy on Lu Pheasant, this time it may be a great opportunity to find out Lu Pheasant's secret.
