When Wang Tao thought of this, he immediately asked Gao Hong to come.

Gao Hong has rarely been summoned by Wang Tao in the past few months, but as soon as he heard Wang Tao summoning him. Without hesitation, he immediately went to the Jiedu Embassy.

Gao Hong was taken to the study of the Jiedu Embassy, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw broken porcelain on the ground, and there were several maids standing in the study, who did not dare to move, and their bodies were constantly trembling. Thinking about the current situation, he understood the reason why Wang Tao came to him.

When Wang Tao saw Gao Hong coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and invited Gao Hong to the upper seat, and he sat down to accompany him. Gao Hong couldn't push it, so he had to take a seat.

The maid in Wang Tao's study said, "Don't hurry up and pack up your things, get down." ”

The maids were pardoned, and they quickly cleaned up all the broken porcelain on the ground, and quickly exited the study.

Gao Hong took advantage of this time to observe Wang Tao carefully, and found that he was now the same as three months ago, three months ago he was a mighty festival envoy, and now he looked like an old man who was about to rot wood. Thinking of Wang Tao's kindness to himself, Gao Hong couldn't help but feel sad for a while. Although Wang Tao is now more and more rigid and self-serving, and a little mediocre, but thinking of Wang Tao's kindness to him, Gao Hong decided to help him once this time no matter what, so that he can tide over the difficulties.

After the two sat down, Wang Tao said anxiously: "I regret not listening to Mr. at the beginning, so I have today's predicament, and now I have no way out, so please Mr. to see if there is any way?" Let me get through this. ”

Gao Hong listened to Wang Tao's request and tried his best to think about the current situation. In the end, I came up with a solution, although this method can only save for a while, I am afraid that the official position will still be lost in the future. But after all, his life was saved.

Gao Hong said to Wang Tao: "My lord, the current situation is very clear, the Tatars have no possibility to capture Kaipingwei, we can no longer hold the illusion of death without proof, now the weather is getting cold, the Tatars can no longer hold on, once the Tatars withdraw their troops, once the Kaipingwei is unimpeded, with Jia Ke's ability, this news will definitely soon spread to Beijing, and the adults will be convicted at that time." ”

Wang Tao listened to Gao Hong's words, and he couldn't help but feel stunned for a while, thinking of his tragic death in the heavenly prison, he couldn't help but tremble.

He stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Gao Hong's hand, "Sir, you must save me." Now as long as I can live, let me do anything. ”

Gao Hong looked at his appearance of six gods and no master, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew today, why bother in the first place. For Wang Tao's point of knowing him, he can't ignore it.

Gao Hong gently patted Wang Tao's hand, comforted him and said, "My lord, we haven't reached this point yet, we still have a chance to make amends." ”

Wang Tao asked eagerly, like grasping a life-saving straw: "What should I do?" ”

Gao Hong told him the way, "By now, we should work together from several aspects." It is also possible to defuse the crisis. The first aspect is to immediately prepare a heavy gift to go to the Beijing Division, send someone to meet the King of the Jingying Festival, and ask the Lord Wang to open the net. ”

Wang Tao fully agreed: "Meeting Lord Wang is the right thing to do. When the time comes, I will bring more gifts. It will definitely satisfy Lord Wang. When the time comes, Lord Wang said that Jia Ke is just a little concubine, what tricks can he turn over. ”

Gao Hong saw that he hadn't seen the key yet, and hurriedly explained to him again, "Your Excellency must not say that. This Jia Ke is not a simple character, I am afraid that he is also expected to be in the Rongguo Mansion, if the Lord sends someone to tell Lord Wang like this, when something goes wrong, how can Lord Wang explain to the Rongguo Mansion. ”

Wang Tao looked at Gao Hong puzzled, Gao Hong looked at his face, and knew that he hadn't figured it out yet, so please explain to him: "There are some things in these families, even if they are in their own family, only one or two people know. At a young age, Jia Ke was arranged by Rongguo Mansion to have a real shortage of six products, and also temporarily replaced the Kaiping Wei Yu Thousand Households from the fifth grade, which is no secret. Who can believe it? ”

Wang Tao suddenly realized that he looked like he regretted it.

Gao Hong saw that he understood, and then said: "The second thing is to send someone to contact Jia Ke, promise heavy profits, and appease him for the time being." ”

Wang Tao now understands a little bit about Jia Ke's importance to Rongguo Mansion, so he didn't refute it. Instead, he asked Gao Hong: "I don't know what kind of benefits Jia Ke will give him, so that he can let this matter go?" ”

Gao Hong thought for a while and said to Wang Tao: "Jia Ke is now a thousand households, but he is just an official of the sixth grade. The sum of these several credits should make him a guard of the real five grades. It's better to let him be the garrison of the five products in Kaipingwei, and expand Kaipingwei into Kaiping Town, and he can be regarded as a standalone. That should satisfy him. ”

Wang Tao nodded and did not refute.

Gao Hong saw that Wang Tao did not refute, knowing that he had agreed, and then said to him: "This third thing is a bit ruthless, I don't know if the adults can do it?" ”

When Wang Tao heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing: "Now I don't care if I am ruthless or not, as long as I can keep myself." ”

When Gao Hong saw him say this, he said with a gloomy face: "Someone must take responsibility for this matter, after all, this is not a trivial matter. You must know that tens of thousands of people attacked the border pass and fought for three months. No one has reported it to the imperial court, and this is a capital offense. Now I have to find someone to take this matter down for the adults. ”

When Wang Tao first heard him say that this was a capital crime, he was already in a state of mind. Now when I heard him say that he wanted to make people guilty, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Gao Hong without blinking, and let him continue.

"The prefect of Xuanfu Town - Xu Hu, he is the assistant sent by the imperial court to the adult, not only jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and abolishing the public for selfishness, because his brother-in-law was killed by Jia Ke for corruption, so he repeatedly prevented the adult and sent troops to rescue, but also privately withheld the secret documents you sent to the imperial court, which was discovered by you, and you were angry for a while, and immediately killed him to correct military law. Although you killed the prefect without authorization, it was just a moment of anger for you, and this is a border pass, and you are practicing military law, although there is a small mistake, but it is not a big deal. Isn't that right? ”

After listening to his words, Wang Tao's face was already full of red light, how could there be the shadow of decadence just now. Now when I heard Gao Hong ask him, he immediately said: "Yes, that's how it is." This Xu Hu is simply a heinous crime, not killing is not enough to anger the people, and not killing is not enough to report to the court. How could my subordinates allow such a person to exist? Tomorrow I will gather in the lobby, and on the same day I will correct him to set an example. ”

Seeing that Wang Tao was so excited, Gao Hong couldn't help but pour cold water on him again and said: "Although my lord has escaped this catastrophe for the time being, after all, he has eviled Jiafu, and he should be cautious from now on, and he should not let them seize the handle again." Otherwise, do adults think that this matter is really over? ”

Wang Tao listened to Gao Hong's words and felt that it was a bit of a big fuss. Since the three aspects are properly arranged, what will happen in the future, if the plan can be implemented smoothly, so that it will be a blessing in disguise, and it would be great to be able to have a relationship with the prince Tengwang of the Jingying Festival.

Gao Hong looked at Wang Tao's optimistic expression, and didn't know what to say about him, this Wang Tao was still very cautious when he was young, how did he become like this now. Don't you know that people's hearts are sinister, you almost let Jia Ke die, do you really think that if you promote him to an official, he will write off the previous things, not to mention that this official is what you deserve.

But Gao Hong is not good at dampening Wang Tao's enthusiasm now, so he can only take one step at a time. Then he agreed with Wang Tao on how to make Xu Hu guilty. And that night, Gao Hong secretly copied the letter of denunciation, as well as several copies of Wang Tao's notes to the capital, and the time of payment was different. At that time, these will be the evidence of Xu Hu's crime.
