When the Zongren Mansion took the capture of Lihai, in the palace of Prince Gong in Dafengxiang Hutong, Wen Xiang, Bao Jun, Cao Yuying, and Xu Gengshen were using "light meals". ≡

That is to say, plus the master King Gong, except for Guan Zhuofan in Tianjin, the whole class of military aircraft is there.

It's been quite a while, and I haven't seen the "grand occasion" of the whole class of military aircraft gathering in Prince Gong's mansion.

This "grand occasion" appeared twice in one breath today, once in the morning and once in the evening.

In the past, whenever there was a major event in the imperial court, after the meeting of the Military Aircraft Department, King Gong, Wenxiang, Baojun, and Cao Yuying, these four big military aircraft, would definitely gather in King Gong's Mansion after they were on duty, and then hold a "small meeting". Decisions that really matter, made at this "little meeting" – it's become routine.

King Gong's father-in-law, Gui Liang, although he is also the Minister of Military Aircraft, generally does not participate in this "small meeting". It's not that King Gong doesn't take his father-in-law as a cronie, but Gui Liang is old, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and his brain is not particularly bright, so it is not convenient or necessary to participate in this kind of meeting frequently. At the beginning, King Gong pulled Guiliang into the army, and the main purpose was just to use the old man to "occupy the position".

After Gui Liang retired and Guan Zhuofan made up for the military opportunity, the practice of holding a "small meeting" did not change, and the participants did not change - it was still Gong, Wen, Bao, and Cao, excluding Guan Zhuofan.

That is to say, Guan Zhuofan at that time, in fact, was excluded from the decision-making level of the Military Aircraft Department, and it can even be said that he can only be regarded as half of the Minister of Military Aircraft.

It's just that after Guan Zhuofan returned to China, he immediately threw himself into the war of suppression and twisting. The others are not in Beijing. "Gong Department" has a "small meeting". It's not so eye-catching.

However, Guan Zhuofan has been peaceful and peaceful, and has returned to Beijing in triumph, and the contradiction between him and the "Gong Department" cannot be avoided.

There was a shocking political tide after King Gong fell.

After King Gong's comeback, the practice of holding "small meetings" in the "Gong Department" has changed.

Before, "Gong Department" was almost synonymous with the Military Aircraft Department?—— especially when Guan Zhuofan was not in Beijing. Holding this kind of "small meeting", although it is inevitable that "politics is out of the private door", it is barely reasonable; But after Guan Zhuofan led the military plane. If the "Gong Department" still does this, it will be a blatant gang to engage in splits, and King Gong's crying in front of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is "deceiving the Holy Bow".

Also, slowly, Wen Xiang, Bao Jun, Cao Yuying, and Gong are these generals, and their mentality began to change subtly, and the trust between them began to decline. Especially Bao Jun vs. Cao Yuying. There is even a knot in the heart of Yan zhòng. When several people got together, the atmosphere was obviously different from before.

In this case. This "small meeting" has no real value.

So, this kind of gathering, unconsciously, stopped.

Tonight's gathering is Wen Xiangti's. His reason was that during these days, there was already a considerable backlog of government affairs, but now that the military plane was "called" and failed to discuss matters for some reason, the government affairs were even more pressed. Among them, many things are of considerable urgency and cannot be postponed any longer.

Now that such a major case has occurred, it will inevitably involve a considerable amount of time and energy on the part of the people concerned. In order to speed up the progress of the Empress Dowager's "listening to the government" in the next few days, the Military Aircraft Department should sort out the backlog of government affairs in these days, and come up with a plan for each of them, so as to prepare for the selection of the saints.

After he got off duty, the whole class of military aircraft went to Prince Gong's mansion to discuss these things, and if he couldn't finish the discussion when the meal was ordered, he would "disturb the sixth master for dinner and talk while eating".

There is another point, Wen Xiang did not say it: he thinks that the basic situation of this case is still to communicate with Baojun, Cao Yuying, and Xu Gengshen, because this case is not a private affair between men and women, but a major national event, and the Minister of Military Aircraft has both the right and the need to hear about it. However, this case is really not suitable to continue to be discussed at the military aircraft department, so it is necessary to find another place.

Listening to Wen Xiang's construction, King Gong frowned and hesitated.

Wen Xiang finally got impatient and said: "Sixth Master, the law of "Spring and Autumn" often blames the sages - I have to say something!" We are all ministers of state, and we should be loyal to the king, and we should do what we should do, and we don't need to think about anything else - isn't that what you said? ”

King Gong glanced at Wen Xiang deeply, with a look of shame on his face, and said, "What Bo Chuan blames is - it's that I'm thinking too much, so let's do it!" ”

After the dinner, the five ministers of military aircraft continued the unfinished topic until they thoroughly sorted out the backlog of government affairs during this time.

Not only Wenxiang, but even King Gong felt a slight sense of relief.

At about two o'clock, Wen Xiang, Cao Yuying, and Xu Gengshen said goodbye.

Bao Jun smiled and said, "Sixth Master, I heard that you have a few new Song books?" This official business has also been discussed, and I have stolen half a night of leisure, how about I appreciate it? ”

After Wen, Cao, and Xu left, King Gong and Bao Jun's faces were lowered.

King Gong was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go to the 'little house'." ”

Liufujin settled everything in place, and lightly withdrew from the "small house" and closed the door.

For a moment, neither the host nor the guest seemed to know what to say, and the silence made the air in the room seem to have a weight.

Finally, it was Baojun who opened his mouth first: "Sixth Master, this matter is me...... It's reckless, it's not thoughtful, and it's going to hurt you. ”

The voice was muffled, as if he was half-covering his mouth.

Baojun's "opening and righteousness", King Gong was still satisfied, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. What he was most afraid of was that as soon as Bao Jun came up, he would bend his bow and cross his horse, put on a posture of "blowing up thorns", and even tied up with King Xuan to "fight back together", which would only get deeper and deeper.

As for either not thinking about it, or abstinating from responsibility, it is not possible to see with Bao Jun's mind.

King Gong shook his head slightly and said, "Pei Xuan, what you said is not quite right. This, the friendship between the two of us, no matter what it is, no matter who is to whom, there is no way to talk about the word 'involvement'. ”

Bao Jun was greatly moved in his heart, his nose immediately became sore, and he said, "Sixth Master, I ......"

With a faint smile on his face, King Gong gently shook his hand at Bao Jun, motioning for him to let him finish his sentence.

"Second, you said that you were 'inconsiderate' - that's not right! Did you do this? What did you do? ”

Bao Jun was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and then understood what King Gong meant, and his heart couldn't help jumping.

"Sixth Master, you mean ......?"

"Well, you did go to Tsinghua Garden, and you stayed there for a while—this is probably not a hidden thing. But when the prince is called, how can you not go? In the same way, if the master doesn't let people go, you can't just lift your legs and leave. So, if you have any responsibility, it's not on top of that. ”

When the prince was called, he really couldn't help but go; But the master didn't let go, it's not that he couldn't lift his legs and leave, King Gong's words can only be half right, which can be regarded as "hard". However, these are not the main points, the point is on the last sentence, "If you have any responsibility, not on this".

That is to say, in any case, first, you Baojun is responsible; Second, what is the responsibility?

What is the responsibility of Bao, it is not good to come out of the mouth of King Gong, this Debao Jun is from himself.

Baojun was silent for a while, and then spoke, his voice slightly astringent: "I think, my responsibility is...... Tsinghua Garden Meeting, this, the host said something...... Strange words, I didn't ...... Timely play 'on the top', this, there is 'on the top of the smell'...... responsibility. ”

King Gong's face showed a look of obvious relief, nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Pei Yu, your 'strange' statement is interesting—that's it!" Also, the four words 'strong on the smell' can be regarded as grasping the key. Someone has taken the lead in this, and his foothold is extremely stable, so that you are helpless. ”

Who "someone" is self-explanatory.

So, what should I do?

Bao Jun already understood what King Gong meant, but this also couldn't come from King Gong's mouth, and he had to say it himself.
