Chapter 262: I don't know what to do
The pirates are coming, and this time they are coming. Yan Linsheng, the general of Shu who defended the city, asked for support from the imperial court, and after the emperor was entangled repeatedly, he decided to hand it over to Liu Moxing.
Due to the close relationship between Wen and Liu recently, the emperor was not worried about Liu Moxing, and sent Jian You to accompany the army. It seemed that in his own expectation, Liu Moxing did not resist at all, and directly led the troops to Shudi.
Liu Moxing left the court, and the situation in the court changed again. Since the last Xu Xiuwen incident, Lin Ziping has replaced him as the household servant, and he has not formed a gang with anyone.
The emperor seemed to be very optimistic about his behavior, and felt that Jiang Heng was dishonest, so he was about to remove Jia Xuming and replace Lin Ziping. Lin Ziping became the most trusted person by the emperor except for Jian You.
Today, Lin Ziping really made a move, and the spearhead was pointed at his top boss Jia Xuming. sued Jia Xu for deceiving his superiors and subordinates, increasing his tax burden, and enriching his own pockets.
Wen Zhili knew that this was ordered by the emperor, otherwise Lin Ziping's courage would not have been so great. And with Lin Ziping's ability, if it weren't for the Inspectorate's Office, it would be impossible to find out these things.
Jia Xuming didn't even have a chance to defend himself, so he was dismissed. Jiang Heng's face became more and more ugly, and the emperor said that Lin Ziping had made a meritorious report and wanted to make him the head of the household.
Some old ministers felt that it was inappropriate, so they came out and said a few words, but they were all refuted by the emperor. Wen Zhili didn't speak from beginning to end, quietly watching this farce.
Indeed, even if he is the current champion Lang, he has meritorious service in reporting, and he has been an official for more than four months to sit in the position of the head of the household, which is indeed inappropriate. Besides, he is still a poor scholar with no background, which makes all the officials in the court unconvinced.
Everyone wanted Wen Zhili to say something, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end. Obviously, he didn't take Lin Ziping seriously at all. No matter where he sits in Lin Ziping, it has nothing to do with his gentle manners.
Seeing that Wen Zhili did not object, the emperor named Lin Ziping as the head of the household department, which was even more justified. When Lin Ziping came out of the hall, he had a feeling of spring breeze pride, and some guys who saw the wind and made the rudder had already come up to slap him.
Lin Ziping ignored these people, and he walked straight to Wen Zhili's side. Wen Zhili ignored him, seemingly not caring where he was going.
However, Lin Ziping is a fledgling in the end, and he was born poor. It does seem to be a talent alone, but standing with Wen Zhili is dwarfed.
Wen Zhili's momentum and innate nobility are all incomparable to Lin Ziping. The two of them, who are also wearing official uniforms, look like they are very different.
Lin Ziping also seemed to feel the difference between himself and Wen Zhili, and his face was a little embarrassed. But he still held his chest up and walked beside Wen Zhili, believing that one day he would be able to sit in a higher position than him.
The ministers on the side understood one thing when they saw Lin Ziping's behavior, he was declaring war with Wen Zhili. They were all looking forward to Wen Zhili's reaction, but who expected Wen Zhili to just say lightly: "Lord Lin, is there something to find Wen?" ”
When Lin Ziping heard him ask, he unconsciously stopped. Wen Zhili also stopped and looked at him quietly. Lin Ziping said a little proudly: "Xiaguan suddenly sat in such a high position, it was really a little panicked. I want to ask the left minister for advice on how to be an official. ”
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Ziping was showing off, but Wen Zhili was not angry. He just said quietly: "Since you know the panic, then don't climb so fast." ”
I have to say that this sentence made all the adults secretly applaud in their hearts. For people like Lin Ziping, they have long been unaccustomed to it. Looks pretentious and doesn't mix with them. In fact, it is to show loyalty to the saint and want to ascend to heaven in one step.
"Lord Wen taught me a lesson, but this matter was not decided by the lower officials. Since the saint can afford Ziping, then Ziping can only sit on it. Lin Ziping seems to want to win back a city.
Wen Zhili smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, you said this to me, if Lord Liu is present, I am afraid you will not be able to get off the stage." ”
"Ziping is stupid, I don't know what Lord Wen means by this?" The smile on Lin Ziping's face was a little unbearable.
Wen Zhili lowered his eyes and said softly: "If Lord Liu hears this, he must say that since the emperor looks up to you, then you can directly ask the emperor how to be an official." Or, you can sit in whatever position the emperor asks you to sit, and next time you might as well go up and sit on the dragon chair? ”
As soon as Wen Zhili said this, not only Lin Ziping, but also the surrounding officials were shocked. These words are indeed what Liu Moxing's temperament will say. However, coming out of Wen Zhili's mouth, I felt even more hurtful.
Seeing Lin Ziping stunned in place, Wen Zhili smiled and said, "But my words are not as hurtful as Lord Liu, I just want to remind Lord Lin of you." You still have time to take your time, so why be in such a hurry? I want to learn to take off before the road is stable, and I am not afraid of falling pain. ”
After saying Wen Zhili, he turned around and left, and those ministers were naturally happy when they saw Lin Ziping deflated. are secretly scolding Lin Ziping for deserving it, it is not good to provoke anyone, to provoke Wen Zhili, isn't this looking for guilt?
Wen Zhili got into the carriage directly, and Lu Yu didn't talk nonsense, and drove back to Wen Mansion directly. Wen Zhichu hasn't been in court much in the past few days, and he thinks it's interesting to help Wen Zhili collect intelligence.
When Wen Zhili came back, Wen Zhichu was already waiting in the study. When he changed into his court clothes, Wen Zhichu was lying on the couch looking at some materials, which were probably stolen.
Wen Zhili ignored what he stole and said directly: "Jia Xuming was dismissed, and Lin Ziping took the position of the household servant. ”
Wen Zhichu sat up directly when he heard this: "I haven't been in court for a few days and such a big thing happened?" This forest is quite capable! ”
"That's what it just happened." Wen Zhili's expression was calm.
"You're not going to deal with that Lin Ziping, are you?" Wen Zhichu winked at him.
Wen Zhili shook his head and said: "That person is not talented enough, and his ambition is too big, so he can't make it into a climate." I'm mainly worried that he's going to come to the yin, and he won't be able to make any waves in the court. ”
"I heard that Jian You and Liu Moxing went to Shu together, isn't it up to you to say anything about this court?" Wen Zhichu looked at Wen Zhili teasingly.
Wen Zhili didn't pay attention to his words, but said quietly: "Jiang Heng's affairs over the years can be investigated?" ”
"According to the news from Yuanzhou, Jiang Heng did have some deals with pirates. But it's a little too secretive, and it's really hard to check. Wen Zhichu paused when he said this, "Why don't I go to Shudi?" ”
