Chapter 687: Conspiracy (4)
July 15, the 54th year of Kangxi, a very ordinary day, for ordinary people, neither the New Year nor the festival, it can be said that it is so ordinary that it can no longer be ordinary, but for Wang Liangen, the envoy of Shanxi, it is a day like a ghost, I rushed to the post station early in the morning, handed over the name thorn to see, and then, like ants on a hot pot, wandering around outside the post station, sweating all over my face, but I forgot to wipe it.
"Lord Wang, the prince is invited!"
Just when Wang Liangen was waiting anxiously, he saw Li Minxing, the commander of the palace guards, leading two of his subordinates out of the gate of the post station, and waved his hand to Wang Liangen very politely and said goodbye.
"Ah, there's General Lau Lee."
Hearing Hongqing's invitation, Wang Liangen not only did not relax, but was a little more nervous, said thank you with a pale face, lowered his head and went to the post station worriedly, all the way through the hall and alleys speechlessly, and soon arrived at the study, and when he turned the screen at the door of the study, he saw Hongqing in a royal dress sitting behind the copywriting, Wang Liangen did not dare to have the slightest slackness, walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and was a big gift to pay homage in a proper manner.
"Lord Wang, today is the tenth day, how are the cases assigned by this king being handled, huh?"
In the face of Wang Liangen's gift, Hongqing did not call out, nor did he greet politely, and ran to the topic directly, although the tone was light, but there was a sense of tranquility inside.
"Back to the prince's words, this case, this case is still being pursued by the lower officials......"
Hearing Hongqing open his mouth and ask about the detection of the assassination case, Wang Liangen's already pale face suddenly turned a little bluer, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only explain a sentence.
"Huh?"
Before Wang Liangen finished speaking, Hongqing frowned dissatisfiedly, and snorted coldly from his nostrils.
"Ah, the prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin, the lower official, the lower official has another retribution."
Hongqing was so dissatisfied, Wang Liangen panicked on the spot, for the sake of the black gauze hat on his head, Wang Liangen couldn't care much more, and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Speak!"
As soon as Wang Liangen's flustered performance came out, Hongqing's brows immediately wrinkled a little more, but he didn't scold, but coldly spit out the word **.
"Wang Ye Mingjian, the lower officials got an accurate news, according to the investigation, the White Lotus Sect bandits gathered around Jingle County, suspected of showing signs of pulling the flag, the lower officials did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and asked the prince to make a clear decision."
Wang Liangen secretly gritted his teeth and said a word of retribution.
"Oh? Really? Where did Lord Wang get the news? ”
As soon as Wang Liangen said this, Hongqing was not as angry as he expected, but asked unhurriedly, his tone was very indifferent, obviously revealing a hint of distrust.
"Back to the prince's words, this news was reported by Sun Tu of Jingle Zhi County, and it should be true."
Wang Liangen only wanted to get out of the assassination case at this time, so he didn't care whether the news was true or false, so he hurriedly revealed the source of the news.
"Well, this king knows, this matter will be discussed later, this king asks you, since Mingyue Building is involved in the assassination case, why is it still open as usual, huh?"
According to Wang Liangen's thoughts, since Hongqing learned the news, he should have arrangements for action, and he should not care about the accountability of the assassination case, this kind of idea is undoubtedly beautiful, but it is obviously in the void, Hongqing just said noncommittally, and then put the matter aside, and then asked about the matter of Mingyue Tower.
"This ......"
Hearing Hongqing's question, Wang Liangen was stunned, and hesitated for a long time without saying why.
"What? Is there anything unspeakable about Lord Wang, huh? ”
Mingyue Tower's deeds are a secret to others, but for Hongqing, it is not the case, at this time, when he saw Wang Liangen in a daze, Hongqing's face immediately drooped, and he snorted coldly unceremoniously.
"Ah, no, Lord Wang, you misunderstood, Xiaguan, this, Xiaguan really wanted to slowly interrogate Mingyue Tower after it was sealed, but, it's just ......"
was asked by Hongqing like this, Wang Liangen shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but halfway through the words, he stopped again, as if he had scruples.
"It's just a vera, say!"
Hongqing has never been a foolish master, and when he saw Wang Liangen chirping crookedly for a long time, he didn't say why, so he broke off his throat impatiently.
"The prince is angry, the lower official has already sent someone to seal the Mingyue Tower, but Lord Su called the lower official to train him, saying that he must not disturb the people for no reason, and the lower official has no choice but to make a remark, this is not the lower official is unwilling to do it, it is really difficult to disobey the order, if the prince feels that it is inappropriate, after the lower official returns to the ya, he will definitely handle it accordingly."
Hongqing was so angry, Wang Liangen didn't dare to hide anything anymore, so he gritted his teeth and told the reason.
"Do you really dare to do this?"
Hongqing obviously didn't believe Wang Liangen's words, and as soon as his voice fell, he already asked coldly.
"The lower officials, the lower officials should obey the orders of the prince, and there will be no mistakes!"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Wang Liangen's heart immediately sudden, there was no other person, just because Wang Liangen had understood the meaning behind this question, this was to ask him Wang Liangen to stand in line, as soon as he thought of this, how dare Wang Liangen slack off, and he was busy expressing his loyalty.
"Uh-huh, is that true?"
Wang Liangen's statement was very fast, but Hongqing didn't say anything special, just said lightly with an indifferent expression.
"The prince is clear, everything the lower officials say comes from the bottom of his heart, and he never dares to lie and coax the prince."
Wang Liangen can be promoted to the platform of a province, of course, there is a reason for excellent performance, but more is just luck, in fact, there is no backer in the court, the official is at such a point now, it is almost to the top, if you want to rise again, the space is not big, unless you can find a big backer, and this has always been where Wang Liangen's heart disease lies, and now, Hongqing, a popular prince, has already slightly revealed the intention of wooing, how could Wang Liangen miss it, and hurriedly cursed.
"Well, Lord Wang can trust what he said, so let's talk about Jingle County."
The ability to be obedient and listen to the sound, Hongqing has never been bad, and he can tell that Wang Liangen does have the heart to take refuge, but whether he really accepts this person, but he still has to say that there is no other, although Hongqing has the intention to lay out for his own future, but he is not in a hurry to the point that everyone will collect it indiscriminately, and it is impossible to give Wang Liangen a promise at this time, so he just praised it lightly, and then turned the topic back to Jingle County.
"So that the prince learned that early this morning, Jingle County sent a government official to report the news, saying that it was found that the White Lotus Sect bandits were gathering in the county, and the matter was very important, and the lower officials did not dare to be arbitrary, and before rushing to see the prince, they had sent someone to accompany the official to the governor's yamen to report the emergency, but Master Su suddenly fell ill and could not be a director, and the lower officials had no choice but to come to ask the prince to make his actions clear."
Since he has already taken refuge in Hongqing, Wang Liangen will not hide anything, so he will explain the origin of the matter in detail.
"Heh, is Lord Su sick in time, how does Lord Wang look at the place in Jingle County?"
As soon as Wang Liangen's voice fell, the corners of Hongqing's mouth immediately lifted, smiled coldly, and asked meaningfully.
"This ......"
Hearing Hongqing's strange question, Wang Liangen couldn't help but be stunned, and he really didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Lord Wang just has to speak directly, this king listens."
For the matter of Jingle County, Hongqing has long had his own judgment, and the reason why he asked Wang Liangen at this time has only one intention, that is, to take the school, because of this, Hongqing does not intend to let Wang Liangen mess around, waved his hand, and commanded in an unquestionable tone.
"Wang Ye Mingjian, the lower officials thought that Jingle was surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the west had a road to pass, but it was also a steep place, although there was a tendency to defend and difficult to attack, but it was also a dead place, hastily attacked, I am afraid it would be difficult to go down, if it was surrounded by a large army, the enemy would not fight and be chaotic, but the lower officials had the responsibility to defend the land, but they did not dare to sit back and watch the erosion of a county, and I implored the prince to allow the lower officials to lead the army to quell the chaos."
Wang Liangen was quite responsible, knowing that he might lose in Jingle County, but he didn't flinch, but gritted his teeth and asked for his life.
"I'm afraid it's not good for Lord Wang to have such a heart to serve the country, but what Lord Su wants is for this king to go to death, and your Lord Wang will go in vain."
Hongqing still admired Wang Liangen's responsibility, so he didn't test it more, but smiled coldly and mentioned it meaningfully.
"Ah, this ......"
As soon as Hongqing's words came out, the sweat on Wang Liangen's forehead instantly flowed wildly, and there was nothing to do, just because Wang Liangen had faintly guessed the root of the matter.
"Huh."
Hongqing didn't urge Wang Liangen again this time, nor did she give him any more mention, she just smiled indifferently, and sat still for a long time.
"Please make it clear to the prince, and the officials should act according to the order, and they will not give up until they die!"
Wang Liangen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Hongqing didn't say anything, a sense of realization immediately surged in his heart, and he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and expressed his tone resolutely.
"Well, you will return to the government immediately, and say that you have been ordered by this king to mobilize a garrison camp to prepare for the conquest and suppression of bandits in Jingle County."
Hongqing nodded approvingly, and gave the order without hesitation.
"Ah......h
Wang Liangen really didn't expect Hongqing to know that Jingle County was a trap, and he insisted on leading the army to drill into it, so he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
"Lord Wang, don't worry, this king has his own arrangements, and then come over with his ears, this matter is ......"
Hongqing smiled and beckoned, called Wang Liangen closer, and gave an instruction in a low voice, which immediately made Wang Liangen's face change from red to white......
