Brocade Thread Chapter 46
Jian You looked at Jiang Lei coldly and said, "Say, who told you to intercept the fortification money?" ”
"It's my own idea, and it has nothing to do with anyone." Jiang Lei knew that he was not Jian You's opponent, and he was not ready to resist.
"Your master is Jiang Boyuan, right?" Jian You's voice was serious, "How much do you know about Jiang Boyuan's communication with Hu?" If you are honest, I will spare your life. ”
"Huh! Lord Jane, even if you can find out who my master is, at most you will punish him for the crime of greedy ink. Don't talk nonsense about this crime, my master can't afford it! Jiang Lei was extremely loyal to Jiang Boyuan, and he was still stiff-mouthed at the moment, "Besides, my master is not something you can move!" ”
"How do you know I can't move?" Jian You's eyes were sharp.
"Taifu Jiang's nephew, you dare to move? Today, the saints all respect and love Mrs. Jiang, what kind of thing are you? Jiang Lei's tone was arrogant.
Jian You's hands trembled with anger, he knew better than anyone what the situation was in the court today. Wenliu's forces are intertwined, and although Jiang Taifu has left the imperial court, his influence is still there. General Chu is loyal, and he has recently gotten close to Wen Zhili.
He Luo saw his excitement and patted him gently: "My lord, lock him up first!" ”
Only then did Jian You react, and called the people guarding the door to put Jiang Lei in prison first, and then deal with it later. Because of the investigation of the construction funds, Heluo was cleared of grievances and released from prison.
Jian You wrote to the emperor that the Ministry of Industry was greedy for ink and had dealings with border generals. There were a few officials at the border gates, which caused the border of our country to be disturbed, and Jian You asked himself to stay at the border gates to find out the truth of the matter.
At this time, the emperor was watching Jian You's report in the imperial study, and the whole person was very tired. The big eunuch beside him knew the truth that accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor didn't ask him if he didn't open his mouth, but just waited quietly on the side.
After a while, the emperor glanced at the chief eunuch and said, "Yu Qingming, come here." ”
Yu Qingming saw that the emperor called him, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave is here." ”
"Do you know why I'm so annoyed?" The emperor propped his head in one hand, and his eyes swept over the kneeling man.
"Back to the emperor, the slave is stupid and doesn't know." Yu Qingming did not answer this question.
"Do you know what Jian You found?" The emperor's eyes were sharp, "Jiang Boyuan has colluded with the border generals, and the border generals have also colluded with the Hu clan. Moreover, the Hu people seem to be on the verge of moving recently, and they don't know if General Chu can resist it. What do you think I'm going to do? ”
"If you go back to the emperor, according to what the slaves see, you can let the left and right ministers send troops to help." After Yu Qingming finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.
"Are you going to beg them? I endured it for so many years, and finally waited until Liu Mu died of illness and Wen Huan resigned. originally thought that the power could be returned to his hands, but Liu Moxing and Wen Zhili came out again. I am an emperor, and I have to worry about two courtiers everywhere. The Emperor seemed a little angry.
Yu Qingming knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out. After a while, the emperor's mood seemed to calm down, and he glanced at him and said, "Get up!" ”
Yu Qingming stood up, still feeling a little weak in his heart. The emperor glanced at him and then said: "I can't punish Jiang Boyuan severely for the crime of greedy ink, if Jian You has more evidence pointing directly to him Tonghu, maybe I can still dismiss him from the official and raid his house, but now ......" The emperor's expression was very tired.
"Is the emperor worried about Taifu Jiang and the right minister?" Yu Qingming asked.
"Taifu is the person I respect the most, and I don't want to be too harsh on his nephew...... Besides, this Jiang Boyuan can be regarded as having a relationship with Liu Moxing......" The emperor said this, looking depressed.
"What if the right minister is willing to deal with Jiang Boyuan?" Yu Qingming still hung his head.
"Do you have a solution?" The emperor stared at Yu Qingming tightly.
"There is no way for the minion, but someone must have a way." Yu Qingming knelt down after speaking.
The emperor seemed to understand what Yu Qingming meant, except for that person, no one could change Liu Moxing's mind.
In the Wen Mansion, Wen Zhili was playing chess with Wen Zhichu. A few days ago, Wen Zhichu reported the situation at the border to Wen Zhili, but Wen Zhili did not take any action. Wen Zhichu didn't understand what he was thinking, things were burning his eyebrows, and he was still in the mood to play chess here.
Wen Zhichu really couldn't sit still, put down a chess piece, and said, "Do you know that the border is urgent?" ”
"I know." Wen Zhili fell, "You lost again." ”
"That festival is very suspicious, and nine times out of ten it is the internal response of the Hu people. In addition, Zhizhou, which has several border passes, has dealings with the Hu people, and Jiang Boyuan and Jiedu made Jin Lin do the work of the fortification funds, the purpose of which is to delay the reinforcement of the defense project. Do you know? Wen Zhichu frowned at him.
"You've said these things many times, and I already know that." Wen Zhili was not in a hurry, but put all the chess pieces back into the chess box.
"I'm going to ask you to borrow a token and call the Wen family guard!" Wen Zhichu's expression was serious.
"I gave it to you, and then what? Are you famous? Wen Zhili asked him rhetorically.
Wen Zhichu was stunned by Wen Zhili's question, and then remembered that the emperor had doubts about Wen Zhili during this time. If he sent troops to the border at this time, it would only increase the emperor's suspicion of him, and it would indeed do more harm than good. But at such a critical moment, how can there be time to consider one's own interests?
Seeing the entanglement on Wen Zhichu's face, Wen Zhili smiled and said, "It's here." ”
Before Wen Zhichu could react, the housekeeper Wen De walked in and reported, "Master, Father-in-law Yu asks to see you." ”
"Please come to the front room!" Wen Zhili said to Wen De gently, and Wen De retreated.
Wen Zhichu looked at Wen Zhili, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Wen Zhili looked at him and said, "I will not only give you the Wen family guards, but also another big gift, and then you can just show off." ”
