Chapter 28: The Prince's Fame
Kuang Heng listened to the prince's analysis, his scalp was numb, to be honest, Kuang Heng had not just faced Shi Xian, both of them chose the attitude that you don't mess with me, I don't mess with you.
The prince has said this, Kuang Heng has no choice but to go one way, anyway, he still has Feng Taiwei and Liu Xiang behind him, and his student Zhai Fangjin is also Jiuqing, so he is not afraid of Shi Xian.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after sending off the prince, Kuang Heng just paced back and forth, and Zhai Fangjin was on the side, and he was also Kuang Heng's most proud disciple, only thirty years old, and he couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw the old prime minister so sad.
"Teacher, haven't things been discussed? Is there anything else to worry about? Zhai Fangjin asked with a pouted face, not knowing the interests of officialdom involved at all.
"Do you have a good brain? These grains were all deceived from Shi Xian, and now let me go to disaster relief, isn't this obvious? The prince stole something, and now he clearly wants me to help him sell the stolen goods! Kuang Heng said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
Zhai Fangjin nodded, "I see, then the teacher will do it, anyway, it is for the sake of the people, and there should be no problems if Your Majesty uses the teacher so much today." ”
Kuang Heng frowned slightly, he always felt that this was a road, a road paved for him by the prince, and the end point was to compete with Shi Xian and others, this road was too narrow to accommodate two waves of people going hand in hand.
"Xiao Zhai, you go and bring the soldiers, transport the food to the disaster area first, if it is late, it will change, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, by the way, you must use the name of the prince, not in the name of the teacher." Kuang Heng stroked his beard and said.
"That's for sure, the food was given by the prince, and the teacher is just a middleman, and he must not be under the banner of a teacher." Zhai Fangjin said very seriously at this time.
Kuang Heng frowned, and stepped forward to kick Zhai Fangjin's ass. "You kid can't think of it, you don't need to be reminded of anything bad for the teacher, hurry up and do something!"
"Got it, teacher, you get busy first, I'll go down." Zhai Fangjin said that, and ran outside in a gray manner.
Kuang Heng glanced at Zhai Fangjin with a little meaning, in his opinion, although Zhai Fangjin was stupid now, it was very likely that he was pretending, otherwise how could he jump to Jiuqing's position.
In the past few days since Zhai Fangjin distributed the grain, Shi Xian has been sending people to keep an eye on it, and when he sees the food in the suburbs decreasing day by day, it seems as if his heart is bleeding.
Shi Xian drank a cup of tea, and the prison beam walked in from outside with a sad face, Shi Xian put down the teacup angrily, "Is the food ready?" ”
Prison Liang immediately smiled, "Don't worry, the food is ready, Weichen is a little reluctant, that's why he looks like this, please don't be surprised." ”
Shi Xian heard that the food had been prepared, and his face instantly improved, "Your kid is very quick to do things, much more than Wulu Chongzong, that old boy hasn't shown up yet." ”
"Don't mention this great Confucian in the capital, I saw him in the suburbs just now looking up to the sky and sighing, it seems that he can't bear the prince's food, I really don't know what to do." Prison Liang said with some disdain.
"Scholar, I haven't seen anything in the world, since this is the case, you can help pay for his food, and it is the key to solve the prince's affairs first, the food in those suburbs is the prince's after all, and we can't control it." Shi Xian muttered.
After hearing this, the prison beam's eyes rolled around, "There is something wrong with this matter, the eldest lord, those grains belong to the prince, why did Zhai Fang go in to do it, he is the prime minister's person, could it be that this matter is related to the prime minister." ”
Shi Xian glanced at the prison beam with some relief beside him, this kid can observe things very carefully, "Zhai Fangjin is indeed the prime minister's person, say whatever you want to say quickly." ”
"Master Qiyu, this means that the prime minister is also involved, and the current prince's behavior is unscrupulous, but the most feared people in his heart are none other than Stan and Kuang Heng."
"From the point of view below, it is very likely that Kuang Heng threatened the prince to do this, otherwise with the character of the prince, how could he be willing to donate so much food, it must be Kuang Heng's coercion and temptation!"
When Shi Xian heard this, he also felt that it was a little interesting, "That old thing is the prime minister, I thought he didn't do anything else except lecture to His Majesty, it seems that I, Shi Xian, underestimated him." ”
"Master, while the grain has not been transported away, hurry up and negotiate with Kuang Heng, leave some, 50,000 stones, at least we don't need to make up the grain and return it to Tao Ren." Prison Liang said with an abacus.
"If you don't settle accounts for Lao Tzu, you can't count any less food! There is a problem with this Kuang Heng, prepare a sedan chair, I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to find out about this matter! Shi Xian said excitedly.
The prison beam was too frightened to speak, and hurriedly went out to prepare a sedan chair, Kuang Heng was quite comfortable at this time, and he had his own apprentice to do everything, as for himself, there was a very important person, that is, he studied the scriptures, and went to the palace every day at noon to give lectures to His Majesty.
There are a lot of things involved, the more evil things are, the more Liu Zheng likes to listen, Kuang Heng, as a Confucian student, is relatively flexible, Liu Zheng will talk about whatever he wants to hear, which is also the reason why he has lived as prime minister for a long time.
Kuang Heng's eyes hadn't closed yet, he only heard some disturbance outside, and after a while, Shi Xian walked in from outside and said very loudly: "The old prime minister is so old, isn't there enough food at home to eat all these years?" ”
"Zhongshuling, what do you mean by that?" Kuang Heng also stood up suddenly.
"What do you mean, uncle, the prince and I finally managed to get some food, and let you, the old boy, take advantage of it, a total of 400,000 stone back and forth, you answer me with your conscience, how many kickbacks have you eaten!" Shi Xian pointed to Kuang Heng's nose and said.
"The old man didn't embezzle at all, and all of it was used for disaster relief." Kuang Heng said very firmly.
Shi Xian sneered a little: "Don't tell me such righteousness, don't think I don't know, among the great Confucians in the capital, there is no pretentious high at all, otherwise, with that salary, how can you afford to buy a house in the capital, Wulu Chongzong is like this, and so is the old prime minister!" ”
"I won't tell you much, anyway, the old man is not greedy, and the food has been sent away, what should I do, you don't have to reason with me, if you are really capable, you old boy will go to your majesty and shout!" Kuang Heng also said with some anger.
"If Lao Tzu dares to shout with His Majesty, he will come to you! Who doesn't know that persimmons are looking for soft pinching! Shi Xian said very bluntly.
Kuang Heng glared at Shi Xian, "The old man is not a soft persimmon, if you are not convinced, hold it back, butler, send off!" ”
The housekeeper scolded, and Shi Xian walked out a little timidly.
