Chapter 476: Clues
readx;
Early in the morning, in King Jing's mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The snow is still falling, and it is already Chinese New Year's Eve. The palace was lively, and the lords of the manors from the fiefdoms of Hubei brought a year's harvest and brought the account book to Yanjing to pay the account.
King Jing is notoriously wealthy among the vassal kings, and over the years, relying on Jiajing's favor, he has purchased land and property and embezzled mountains, forests and rivers. And because he hasn't returned to Hubei for several years, even he doesn't know how much property he has until now.
When he was 40 years old in Jiajing, he was also impeached by civil officials for encroaching on the people's land. Over the years, King Jing has finally relented. However, private property is still expanding at a snowballing rate.
This is of course a good thing, but it has suffered the gentlemen in the palace, who have stayed up all night for several nights, and still haven't checked the accounts, and they are all red-eyed.
Xu Wei was already so tired that he was about to fall apart, and as the chief staff of the palace, he had too many things to endure. And King Jing has no talents to use here, and he needs to do everything himself. A gentleman does not say profit, but if he wants to make a difference, he can't do it without money, at least in the war for succession. At this time, the silver sent by King Jing is almost piled up into a small mountain.
I was tired all night, tired and wanted to die, but my spirit was unusually high.
Xu Wei didn't go to sleep either, Suo sat in the study, lit a small stove, smashed the tea cakes with a silver hammer, and put them in the purple clay pot.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing, the snow falls silently, and it is also elegant.
The red plum tree at the door of the study is open, and the red is dazzling.
"Ahh King Jing walked in with a yawn and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is so Yaxing, he got up so early in the morning to enjoy the snow." ”
The tea had already boiled, and Lin Tingchen, who was behind King Jing, stepped forward, lifted the teapot, and poured a cup for Xu Wei and King Jing.
Xu Wei picked up the cup and warmed his hands, but he didn't have the strength to talk to King Jing.
Looking at King Jing's appearance, he must have not slept well all night, and he didn't know which woman he was messing with, but he thought I was up early in the morning.
Looking at the red plum at the door again, Xu Wei suddenly had a feeling of panic, and always had a premonition that something was about to happen.
The plum blossom is as red as blood.
Especially after the spies he sent out a while ago were ambushed and killed by Wu Jie, this feeling became more and more intense.
Sure enough, as soon as he took a sip of tea, a spy walked in quickly and knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang, Mr. Xu." ”
This person was in charge of the news transmission of Xiyuan and the palace, as soon as he saw him, Xu Wei became nervous in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Is there any news, get up and speak." ”
"Yes." The spy stood up: "Lord Wang, early this morning, Li Chengliang and his son left Xiyuan and went to different places. ”
King Jing: "Who is Li Chengliang?" He felt that the man's name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Xu Wei was completely speechless, such an important person, the prince actually forgot, don't think about it, Li Chengliang must have been inserted by Wu Jie into Xiyuan to deliver the news. The battle for succession is related to the family of the royal family and the family name of the Yan Party, but King Jing doesn't seem to take it to heart. Some people have a better heart than the sky, but they are not willing to do it in a down-to-earth manner and plan it.
Lin Tingchen saw that Xu Wei's face was pale, and he hurriedly whispered to King Jing: "Lord Wang, this Li Chengliang was originally a small officer in Liaodong, and recently got the help of Wu Jie and entered Xiyuan as a watchman. ”
"It's just a shift official, and he doesn't have to be on duty, he just needs to check the post at the hour. No one else cares where he's going. King Jing took a sip of tea very casually and praised: "Mr. Xu, this tea is good, Fujian." ”
Xu Wei didn't bother to pay attention to King Jing, anyway, since he entered King Jing's Mansion. He took care of all the big and small affairs here, so he pondered for a moment and asked the spy: "Do you know where Li Chengliang and his son went?" ”
Spy: "Mr. Xu, I don't know, anyway, it's not all the way, there are both south and north of the city, and it seems to be in a hurry." ”
"In a hurry?" Xu Wei's eyebrows jumped, the teacup in his hand trembled, and a few bits of hot tea splashed out: "Go down." ”
Waiting for the spies to go down, Xu Wei muttered: "Li Chengliang just arrived and left Xiyuan one day after he arrived to go to the official guard, and it was still early in the morning...... Ordinary people and new officials take office, why do you have to endure today, look at the situation, today...... No, no! ”
His voice became louder, and then he slammed the fork and cup on the table, and shouted: "Something must happen in Xiyuan, Lord Wang, enter Xiyuan immediately, quickly, go and see Your Majesty." ”
King Jing was a little embarrassed: "It's not good to go over now...... I always go to see my father in the afternoon, and I go early in the morning, for fear of upsetting his old man. ”
"You!" Xu Wei stood up angrily: "Go straight away, what nonsense!" ”
"Ben Wang...... Okay, let's go. King Jing was obviously a little afraid of Xu Wei, took a step back, and had to respond reluctantly.
Then, Xu Wei ignored King Jing and said to Lin Tingchen: "Tingchen, didn't you automatically ask Ying to go to Chengguo Gong to be a lobbyist before, I stopped you before." Today is the time, the time has come, go quickly. ”
King Jing also shouted: "Yes, yes, Ting Chen, you go to Chengguo Gong immediately, as long as you say that Chengguo Gong is moved, the entire Yan Kyoto is the king's." ”
Lin Tingchen was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll go over now, the prince and Mr. Xu can rest assured, and they will definitely handle this matter properly." "He has been in King Jing's camp for a while, and he has never had a chance to perform. Only then did he offer to go to Cheng Guogong to be a lobbyist. If you can win over Chengguo Gong, you can properly follow the dragon's head.
Looking at Xu Wei's expression, Lin Tingchen also realized that the situation today was a little different from the past, and secretly clenched his fists.
……
Coming out of Xu Wei, Lin Tingchen confidently said to King Jing: "Lord Wang, rest assured, I will definitely be able to say that Duke Cheng Guo is on your side." Is the prince going out now, just doing all the way? ”
King Jing yawned: "What are you going to do in Xiyuan now, I'll go sleep first, and then I'll go over after lunch." ”
Lin Tingchen stuttered a little: "But it's ...... But Mr. Xu asked the prince to go over immediately......"
"What Mr. Xu is not Mr. Xu's." King Jing was a little unhappy: "There is not only one Xu Wei in the world, he has never seen His Majesty, but the surname of Long Live Lord is unknown." The father's surname has become more and more strange in the past two years, everything has to be according to his wishes, and the slightest violation will immediately be the wrath of thunder. Going to see him in the afternoon is a rule set by my father, how dare I disobey him? Besides, a while ago, Yan Ge Lao said to this king that the current situation is that it is better to be motionless than quiet, and he must follow the surname of Banzai, and he must be coaxed to be happy before he can talk about it. ”
After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense, went back to the dormitory directly, and threw the stunned Lin Tingchen aside.
……
When King Jing and Lin Tingchen left, Xu Wei's heart was even more chaotic, but the tea was bland and tasteless when he drank it in his mouth.
I couldn't go to sleep, so I walked behind the guqin, stretched out my fingers and played a few times, but it didn't become a tune.
In the noisy sound of the piano, the snowflakes that fell quietly became chaotic.
East Audit Factory, Study.
Chen Hong also got up early in the morning, holding a copy of "The Analects" and reading it slowly.
These days, how can the news of the deterioration of the master of Yuxi Palace's health be concealed from him, the owner of the East Factory.
If you don't guess wrong, Your Majesty is just these things.
It's all in the calculations.
All the preparations are made, and the rest is just a matter of waiting.
As for the timing of the launch, it must be taken to the extreme. If it's too late, you must guard against being preempted by others; But if it is too early, the army will be sent out, but it will be charged with a treason, and then it will really be doomed.
As for King Jing, the shaft is not enough to plan.
Just let me Chen Hong arrange everything for you!
Zeng Zi said: Scholars can't do without Hongyi, and there is a long way to go. Benevolence is its own responsibility, isn't it also important? Death is gone, isn't it far away? ”
Reading this sentence silently, Chen Hong felt something in his heart and muttered: "Zeng Zi said: An aspiring person cannot be broad-minded, strong and courageous, because he shoulders a major mission, and the road to achieve the mission is very far. Isn't it important to regard the promotion of "benevolence" as one's mission? Isn't it also very distant to stop fighting until death? Who said that our chamberlain is not a soldier, isn't it just that he was stabbed? ”
He put down the book in his hand, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote it on the paper.
It is the eight-strand Shiwen with this sentence as the title.
Soon, it was written about the bundle strands.
I haven't written an article for a few years, but this writing is extremely hearty.
Chen Hong said to himself: "Who said that our eunuchs don't study anymore, with my article, even if we go to the Jinshi examination, we will easily get in." ”
Really at this time, a fan ran in: "Factory man, 100,000 urgent." ”
"Wait, when I'm done, don't worry, it's almost over." Chen Hong shook his head at the man and began to write a big knot.
After a long time, he threw the pen and let out a cheerful breath: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Fanzi: "Early this morning, Your Majesty woke up, and his spirit was surprisingly good, and he watched the excerpts for half an hour. At the same time, Li Chengliang's father and son both went out and went to Yuwang's Mansion, Wucheng Terracotta and Horses Division, and Wujie Mansion respectively. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Chen Hong stared blankly outside.
Outside the study, there was a eunuch sweeping the snow: "Wow! "The sound traveled far and wide.
"Tell him to stop sweeping...... No, wait. Chen Hong's brows furrowed, and his beard stretched out for a moment.
He slowly turned around and looked at a picture of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall, "Ahhhh He shouted three times with all his strength.
It startled the child: "The factory is ......"
Chen Hong turned around suddenly, his face was bright: "Inform me and pick up the people." Your Majesty has an order, and the East Audit Factory will immediately be stationed in Xiyuan, and martial law will be imposed! ”
