Chapter 20: Two Sessions
Gusu, Suzhou Thorn Mansion, after Wei Chengmou left the house, he hurried all the way here.
The steward of the Xiao family, who was already waiting outside the mansion gate, saw that his car had arrived, and immediately greeted him: "Wei Sima, my family Langjun knows that you are coming, and he is already waiting in the mansion." ”
Wei Chengmou got out of the car, didn't talk to him much, only said: "Head ahead, lead the way." ”
When the steward heard this, he welcomed him in.
walked down this way, and soon the two arrived at the second hall of the Assassin's Mansion.
The tube took a step forward in advance, stepped forward and said loudly: "Lang Jun, Wei Sima has arrived." ”
After speaking, he made a gesture to Wei Chengmou to invite in.
Wei Chengmou ignored him and walked straight away.
And when he had entered the hall, he saw that in the hall there was a man sitting on the seat of the lord and on the head of the guest.
The main seat is the history of Suzhou Thorn - Xiao Jing, and the name of the person sitting on the head of this guest is Lu Kang, and the word Ji Ning is the history of the governor of Suzhou.
Coupled with his Wei Chengmou, this high-ranking official in Suzhou can be regarded as complete.
Seeing the situation in this hall, Wei Chengmou slowed down, he didn't speak, and sat down next to Lu Kang silently.
After he sat down, Lu Kang took the tea bowl and said first: "Ziyu, since Brother Baiji has also arrived, let's get down to business." ”
"You all know the thing, it's the same whether I say it or don't say it." Xiao Jing also held the tea bowl and said slowly, "Since you have come to me, you naturally have something to say, so it's better to say it now." ”
"What can we say, in the end, Brother Xiao is the governor of a state, and Lao Wei and I will naturally listen to you." Lu Kang said, put down the tea bowl, and looked at Wei Chengmou, "Old Wei, what do you say?" ”
"What Brother Ji Ning said is exactly what I want." Wei Chengmou cooperated with Lu Kang, playing haha, "Brother Xiao, you still have to make up your mind about this Suzhou matter." ”
Officialdom pays attention to harmony and light, but when encountering things, individuals can push one point is one point.
Besides, the strength of the three is clear, and in this situation, Lu and Wei naturally want to push Xiao Jing to the front.
After listening to what the two said, Xiao Jing knew what they were thinking.
He didn't say a word, but handed a piece of paper on the table to a scribe beside him.
This scribe is his staff in the tent, his name is Li Yi, and his name is Lide.
This person writes with a good hand, and he is known for his literary talents, but unfortunately he was born in a poor family and failed to succeed repeatedly, so he became Xiao Jing's strategist.
Li Yi took the paperwork, walked to the guest seat, and put the paperwork on the desk between Lu and Wei.
While he was doing all this, Xiao Jing opened his mouth: "This document, you take a look at it first." ”
So, Lu Kang picked it up first and looked at it.
Then, he frowned and put it down again, and Wei Chengmou took it and looked at it.
This is a document on the allocation of military rations, which was issued by the Assassin Mansion yesterday, and the person who received this military ration was the Taihu Army under the command of Fan Chengfang. The amount of military rations recorded in the document was 10,000 stones, which greatly exceeded the original ration.
Lu Kang was naturally puzzled, so he asked: "Ziyu, why do you want to transfer so much military rations this time?" ”
Xiao Jing didn't answer, but asked Li Yi to send a piece of paperwork: "You take a look at this one again." ”
At this time, the atmosphere was strange, and the attitudes of Lu Kang and Wei Chengmou also changed.
When the document arrived, the two of them immediately read it.
After the two of them looked at the paperwork, Xiao Jing said: "This was sent the day before yesterday, and it was sent directly to me by the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." It is very clear that the Taihu Army will be transferred to the north and asked me to cooperate with Suzhou. ”
After he finished speaking, Lu Kang and Wei Chengmou also saw the same.
"The day after this official document came, Fan Chengfang came to me, and he naturally received an appointment. With the order, he came to me and asked me for 20,000 stone of military rations, and I gave him 10,000 stone first. Xiao Jing said, sighing, "How much grain we have in Suzhou, you all know that it is rare to take out this ten thousand stones." But who would have thought that now this official document is here again. ”
The last official document he said was the one the three of them received today, from Jiangdong Dizhi Mansion in Jiangning Mansion.
In this official document, the Jiangdong envoy asked Suzhou to send 10,000 stone of grain to Jiangning Mansion.
When the disaster first appeared in June, a decree was sent to the Jiangdong Prefecture.
And this official document was arranged according to that will, and Xiao Jing now has to follow it.
The Jiangdong Governor was the highest administrator of the 19 prefectures in Jiangdong, and the Governor of Yangzhou was the highest military governor of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei Prefectures.
Although these successive official documents came from different yamen, they all had something to do with one thing, and that was food.
"Ziyu, why didn't you discuss this matter with us in advance." After putting down the paperwork, Lu Kang said dissatisfied, "Our political affairs in Suzhou are not under the control of him Cui Xiaolin, why did Brother Ziyu easily give the grain to Fan Chengfang?" ”
Cui Xiaolin in his words is the current governor of Yangzhou, this person's name is Cui Xu, the word Xiaolin.
In the face of Lu Kang's rebuke, Xiao Jing did not answer, but picked up another thing on the bookcase, which was a letter.
"This is a letter written to me by Zhang Zeduan, the left concubine of the Prince's Mansion." As he spoke, he put the letter back on the table, "Because it's a private message, I won't show it to you." But I can still say a few words about the content. ”
After Xiao Jing finished speaking, he stood up, walked up to Lu and Wei, and said softly: "He made it clear in the letter that I would do my best to help Cui Xiaolin." ”
As soon as he said this, the dissatisfaction on Lu Kang's face immediately disappeared.
After being silent for a long time, Wei Cheng asked softly: "In this way, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant?" ”
Xiao Jing listened, but didn't answer him.
After he sat back in his original position, he slowly spoke: "Zhongshu Ling Pei Jun is old, and His Majesty has allowed him to return to his hometown, so that the post of Zhongshu Ling will be vacant." Your Highness is planning for big things, so I asked me to help Cui Xiaolin. Besides, this is because he transferred military rations, and according to military orders, I had to follow Ah. ”
"That being the case, so be it." After speaking, Lu Kang frowned and thought.
After a while, he frowned and said, "It's just that in this way, Suzhou will have no food to eat." A few days ago, something happened to the victims of the city. Now that the Taihu Army has been transferred north, if there is another disaster at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
When his words fell, Xiao Jing said with a straight face: "Then there must be no more disasters." ”
"That's as it should be." Lu Kang agreed, but his brows were still furrowed, "It's just that there is no food in my hands, what should I do?" ”
"Without him, it's just to raise food." Xiao Jing said lightly.
"Naturally, the food should be raised, but what if the food is raised?" Lu Kang said, looking at Xiao Jing, "If the grain is sent to Jiangbei again, I am afraid that if Jiangbei is not chaotic, my Suzhou will be chaotic first." ”
His voice fell, and Wei Chengmou on the side also echoed: "Brother Lu, what you said is extremely true. Nowadays, I can't afford to be in chaos in Suzhou. ”
"Of course I know." Xiao Jing said softly, "The grain of Suzhou is naturally to protect the peace of Suzhou. ”
"With Ziyu's words, I am relieved." Saying that, Lu Kang stood up and said to Xiao Jing, "Since Brother Ziyu has made up his mind, I will fully cooperate." Brother Wei, what do you think? After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Chengmou.
When Wei Chengmou heard this, he also got up: "This is the plan of the people of Suzhou, Wei is naturally duty-bound, and everything is arranged by Ziyu." ”
Seeing that the two expressed their support, Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
In this case, there is still something to be done, and the big stone in his heart will fall.
