Chapter 41: The Case Accumulates Mountains Like Knives II

"Although they are all Taiyuan Wang clans, but the family is prosperous and has many heirs, I have branches, and I don't dare to have anything to do with the Changfang lineage." There was some resentment in Wang Jie's words, but he didn't know whether it was because of Wang Zhengjian's status in the long house, or because he was dissatisfied with Ji Wen's ridicule.

"It's my mistake, don't you accompany Zhongcheng." Ji Wen stepped forward and made a gesture to Wang Jie: "In the past, when Wang Zhonghe's collusion with the East Palace conspiracy was exposed, Zhongcheng had already drawn a line with them. Therefore, I know that letting go of Wang Zhengjian today is not Zhongcheng's original intention! ”

"You don't have to let it go? Zhongcheng is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and it is still okay to hold him accountable for a crime of negligence. Before Wang Ji could figure out the meaning of Ji Wen's words, he listened to the gloomy Luo Xizao, who said faintly like a cold ghost: "If you have a chance to take a bite, why don't you bite." Besides, if you bite Wang Zhengjian, wouldn't Ashina Yang be more willing to take refuge in us? ”

"Don't mention Ashinayang!" Thinking of the Yuanri Dynasty Meeting, Wang Ji was a little angry: "I wrote an impeachment note based on the incriminating evidence he provided, but he defended Wang Zhengjian in front of the sage. The benefits were all for him, and the good people also made him a good man, and the saints praised him and Ge Shuhan as both national scholars. Wouldn't I have become a fool for him?! ”

Ji Wen wanted to say something, but saw Li Linfu cough lightly and interrupted Wang Jie's words: "Ashina Yang, this person, his face is like a cold jade, and his heart is full of flames. Since he wants to gain fame and fortune, he will fulfill him once, and see how he repays the old man's favor in the future. This time, I was wronged Shichiro, but this is a certain no. ”

Hearing Li Linfu's apology, Wang Ji was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" Xiangguo's words are serious, I just complained casually, and I never had a grudge! ”

Li Linfu pressed his hand slightly, motioned for Wang Ji to sit down, and then continued: "The East Palace is in danger but does not fall, Yang Zhao is gradually gaining holy favor, and An Lushan is gradually becoming full-fledged. At this time, Ashina Yang is willing to take refuge, and we naturally have to laugh at it. Although Gao Xianzhi has suppressed Wang Zhengjian in the land of the west, one more Ashina Yang is also the icing on the cake. If Anxi and Beiting are in hand, they can balance An Lushan's forces and prevent him from expanding too much, lest he have different intentions and bite us back. ”

Wang Ji nodded hurriedly: "Xiangguo's teachings are right!" ”

Ji Wen frowned lightly and asked, "Xiangguo, will the sage be willing to let Ashina Yang preside over the North Court?" ”

Li Linfu immediately heard Ji Wen's voice, and he smiled faintly: "Although the sage has not taken care of political affairs in recent years, he will never hand over Anxi and Beiting to me. Therefore, Ashina must not be allowed to openly take refuge. Since he gave up his daughter as a step to advancement, let him use it to win the favor of the saints; Since he wants to show the demeanor of a peerless warrior in front of the saints, we will cooperate with him. In the final analysis, Ashina Yang is just an idle chess move in the corner, not a midfielder for rushing and killing. At this time, he is willing to go with us, just go with the flow. ”

Ji Wen thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "I just don't know what this Ashina Yang wants?" Just for the protection of the North Garden? ”

Li Linfu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said firmly: "If he only asks for a town festival, or asks for the holy favor of An Lushan, I can give it!" If he has a non-trivial mind and wants to harm me Li Tang Jiangshan, a certain person will not be able to spare him! ”

Ji Wen didn't expect Li Linfu to have such a big reaction, he subconsciously shook his head and said: "The prestige of the Xiangguo, An Lushan still doesn't dare to be disobedient, let alone Ashinayang?" There is a country, and Datang is as stable as Mount Tai! I only hope that Ashina Yang can get a breakthrough from Wang Zhengjian and help Xiangguo to bring down the prince in one fell swoop! ”

Although Ji Wen's sycophants were a little obvious, the last sentence still touched Li Linfu's heart and made him nod yes.

"Speaking of bringing down the East Palace, can the matter of the Chinese New Year's Eve expulsion be conclusive? If you can get involved with the East Palace, you may be able to make a breakthrough. Luo Xixiao followed the topic and talked about the East Palace again.

After Li Linfu heard Luo Xizao's words, he picked out a copy of the recital from the case and handed it to him: "This is Jing Zhaoyin's recital on this matter. It took more than ten days and found nothing, only that it should be an accident, and there was no conspiracy. ”

Luo Xizao took the concerto, roughly flipped through it, and found that the concerto was indeed useless as Li Linfu said.

"However, His Majesty asked Gao Weng's Inner Servant Province and Chen Xuanli's Long Wujun to secretly conduct an investigation on the same day, and Jing Zhaoyin also knew it, so he didn't want to get involved." Wang Ji has a high position and many news channels, and he also knows a little about things in the palace.

What Shichiro said was that the sage would naturally suspect that someone had done it on purpose, so on the day of the incident, he asked the Inner Servant Province and the Long Wu Army to conduct a secret visit. However, the recitals in these two places did not go through the political affairs hall, so I don't know what the final result of the visit was. Li Linfu knew the sage's imperial skills, so he never intervened in the actions of the Inner Servant Province and the Long Wu Army: "Qilang, if you have the opportunity, you can find out from Gao Lishi." Also, this position of Jing Zhaoyin is very crucial, and if we think about it, we should still hold it directly in our hands. Thou shalt take on a lot of responsibilities! ”

As soon as Li Linfu said this, Wang Jie's eyes lit up, this is Xiangguo promising to fight for the position of Jing Zhaoyin for him!

Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of all affairs in Chang'an, with a high and powerful position, and the degree of scenery is even greater than that of Zhongcheng in the imperial history. Although the affairs are complicated and not easy to do, with the support of Xiangguo in the future, I don't think it will become a "five-day Jingzhao". If you can hold the position of Yu Shi Zhongcheng and Jing Zhaoyin, then the day of worshipping the prime minister will not be far away!

Ji Wen looked at Wang Jie's face full of joy, his face was undiminished, but he was so jealous in his heart. I hollowed out my mind, worked hard, and planned so much for Xiangguo, but until now I am still just a household Langzhong, which is really depressing! Who made the saints dislike themselves?

At the beginning of Tianbao, Ji Wen, who was Xinfeng Cheng at the time, got the opportunity to meet the saint because of the recommendation of a friend. He thought that this would be the starting point of his prosperity, but after the sage saw it, he only said: "It's a bad thing, I don't need it." "Directly shattered Jiwen's heart of luck.

In desperation, Ji Wen judged the situation, drilled around, found a way, and showed his talent in front of Li Linfu. Li Linfu, who was eager to bring down the prince, took a fancy to him, and since then he has been on the rise and moving to Hubu Langzhong.

In the eyes of others, from the new Fengcheng of the eighth grade to the Hubu Lang of the fifth grade, Ji Wen is already on the verge of rising to the clouds.

But in Ji Wen's eyes, a mere household with limited power is far from worthy of his own merits and dedication, and he has set his sights on the position of Wang Jie's imperial history.

How can Wang Ji be virtuous? is not as good as himself in background and inferior in talent, just because he took refuge in Xiangguo early, he can become a high-ranking and powerful person in the Tang Dynasty.

"I will take my place!" Jiwen's heart burned with a blazing **.

"Speaking of Jing Zhaoyin, my brother recently told me that there has been a lot of commotion in Chang'an City recently, and there seem to be many spies and secret agents." Wang Ji tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but he still couldn't help but want to show his talent as Jing Zhaoyin in front of Xiangguo.

"Brother Ling has a wide range of friends, and he is indeed a person with great powers!" Ji Wen knew that Wang Jie's younger brother Wang Kun, who was also a household langzhong, but he ignored government affairs all day long, and actually loved to associate with the ranger high-rollers in Chang'an City the most, so he was very well informed about the market.

Li Linfu tapped his temple with the index finger of his right hand, searched for it in the Rushan cantata, and turned out another copy of Jing Zhaoyin's recital and handed it to Wang Jie.

"After the Yuanri Dynasty Meeting, from Dashi to Nanzhao, from Hui to Tubo, they all mobilized manpower to inquire about the news in Chang'an, trying to explore the strategy of the country this year, which caused a lot of small-scale conflicts, and Jing Zhaoyin also had a headache!" Li Linfu said with a look of school examination.

Wang Ji thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "As far as I know, many secret agents have appeared in the form of caravans from various countries. The caravans coming and going to Chang'an were numerous, mixed, and quick to go, and it was very difficult to investigate by relying on the officials under Jing Zhaoyin alone. Therefore, it may be better to find some trustworthy ranger swordsmen, disguise them as caravans, blend in with them, and take the opportunity to find out. ”

"Shichiro's strategy won my heart!" Li Linfu stroked his palms and smiled, took Jing Zhaoyin's recital, and said while waving his instructions: "There are strange people in the rivers and lakes, I heard that Aunt Gongsun is quite good at spying on intelligence, Jing Zhaoyin can ask her to participate in this matter." The people of the temple should not rest on their laurels, but should be good at absorbing people from the rivers and lakes. ”

Regarding the comments of the right minister, Wang Jie, Jiwen and Luo Xizheng all nodded yes.

After Li Linfu put down the brush, he glanced at the chapter, and then sighed: "This year, we will take an offensive in Longyou and Hezhong at the same time, and the nine kingdoms of Tubo and Zhaowu have a lot of eyes and ears in Chang'an, and they must have heard some rumors, so naturally they will send a large number of people to investigate!" But this is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and it is not significant. In the event of a major war, the consumption of money and food will inevitably increase dramatically. I hope that this year's southeast Fengni and Cao Yun will be unimpeded, so as not to raise the price of rice in Chang'an, which is the top priority. ”

The matter of money and food was originally the director of Wang Jie. Hearing Li Linfu's emotion, he suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Yang Zhao asked the sage to sell the silk and silk stored in various prefectures and counties into gold and silver light goods on the spot, and turn all the local rent taxes into cloth, and then transport them to Beijing. I thought that this was the way to fish and kill chickens and eggs. In case there are changes in the local area in the future, and the state and county have no money and food in their hands, how to deal with it? ”

Ji Wen listened to Wang Jie's righteous and awe-inspiring tone, and secretly sarcastically said in his heart: "Wang Jie, when you served as the envoy of the hukou color, in order to cater to the sage's extravagance, you did not hesitate to increase the freight of the people and loot the border soldiers. Yang Zhao is compared with you at that time, that is, you are a little witch! You are pretending to be posturing now, and you can't get used to the actions of those who come after you, it's shameless! ”

When Ji Wen secretly wanted to sarcastically mock Wang Ji for fifty steps and laughing at one hundred steps, he didn't notice that Li Linfu was silent for a moment after listening to Wang Jie's words.
