Chapter 307: Asking for Blessings
71_71495 Xu Liang chuckled, pulled Xu Changqing into the conference hall, and asked the people to serve hot tea.
Beckoning Xu Qianhu to drink tea for a while, Xu Liangcai pinched his sad look and said gloomily: "I just heard about the fact that the prince made a meritorious advance and fell into the enemy's ambush. Alas, I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Pingliang City, the prince would suffer such a catastrophe! The world is impermanent, it is really impermanent. ”
Xu Changqing looked at Xu Liang with burning eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu, you and I are not outsiders. Why do you have to act in front of your brother? ”
Xu Liang was surprised: "Why did Brother Xu say this? I was also surprised by the death of my father-in-law. ”
Xu Changqing looked at Xu Liang deeply for a while, and asked seriously, "You really didn't do it?" ”
"It's not me."
Xu Liang said secretly, the matter was done by Li Jiajun, I only provided a little help, I am not the mastermind, and naturally there is no need to take this role for Li Xinbei.
Xu Changqing said: "Brother, what is the truth of the matter, you know it in your heart. It's just that the elder brother wants to remind you that Jin Yiwei has to investigate one thing, and there are very few things that can't be revealed. ”
Xu Liang said with a smile: "Brother Xu is scaring me again, presumably the death of the prince, even if the court has any suspicions, it will not let Jinyiwei investigate." Hehe, even if Jinyiwei investigates, how can Brother Xu and Commander Luo not protect their own people? ”
Xu Changqing shook his head and said: "The adults in the capital all know that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not on the right road, even if they want to investigate, they should be sent by Dongchang himself to investigate." ”
"Hey, then don't worry about it." Xu Liang cocked Erlang's legs, shook them up and down and said with a smile: "Just with the apprentices and grandchildren brought out by the gelding goods in the East Factory, they may be good at bullying and dominating the market." Investigating a case? Hehe. ”
Xu Changqing's gaze stayed on Xu Liang's shaking boots for a while, and said, "Brother, what I want to say is that although the fathers-in-law in the palace are in charge of the East Factory, the people who work underneath. Basically, it was transferred from our Jinyiwei. I think the kung fu of investigating the case, even if it is not as good as Jinyiwei, it must not be too far behind. As soon as I paid a little attention to the Xi'an Qianhu Office, I knew that my brother, your carriage left Jingning City twice late at night, where it went, and who it saw. The gang at the East Factory. As long as it's not too much rice bucket, it should be able to be found. ”
Xu Liang's shaking Erlang's legs slammed suddenly, put away his joking expression, and asked, "It turns out that we still have such a deep relationship with Dongchang?" It's a bit of a problem......"
Xu Changqing snorted lightly and raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you just say it has nothing to do with you?" What are you nervous about? ”
"Me? Why am I nervous? Xu Liang said sarcastically, "But I really didn't do it myself." I just heard that the prince has some personal enmity with some people, and he gave them a chance to end it. Immediately, Xu Liang sat up straight, and Zhengse said, "If they find out, Brother Xu will have to help me!" ”
Xu Changqing said bitterly: "I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself." Xu Liang, Jin Yiwei is in a delicate situation now, and Lord Luo has already ordered it. In the near future, Jinyiwei does not wait and see what happens, and does not do any activities. ”
Xu Liang asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”
Xu Changqing sighed, and said mockingly: "Speaking of which, I have to thank these Dongchang princes." The prince verified that the father-in-law of Wei was now Li Xinbei. And the charred corpse that Jinyi Wei presented to the emperor was actually a fake! Under the anger of the saint, he was very dissatisfied with Jinyiwei. Although I don't know what the final result will be, I guess the brocade guards who participated in the pursuit of Gonggong Wei back then can't get rid of it. ”
"Did Brother Xu also participate in the hunt that year?" Xu Liang asked.
"Alas, back then, I was still one of the hundred households of Jinyiwei, and it was my participation in this matter that I was appreciated by Commander Luo. was promoted to the position of a thousand household officials in Xi'an so quickly. Xu Changqing said with emotion: "Who would have thought that it would be a few years later." The identity of Gonggong Wei will actually reappear in the world, and the court will counterattack and liquidate. Xu's future is worrying, he is really successful and defeated. ”
Xu Liang opened his mouth wide in shock, at first glance, he heard that there were these inside stories in it, and he couldn't imagine that Xu Changqing was still in such a troublesome situation. With the character of not rubbing sand in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen today, when Gonggong Wei died, he still couldn't understand his hatred, and pulled out and cut 3,600 knives, and now he has won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, Jinyiwei is actually daring, and he has done such a thing to hide from the sky and the sea, and Emperor Chongzhen's anger, even if he does not turn the entire Jinyiwei upside down, he will definitely severely punish a few people to dissipate his anger.
Xu Changqing, as one of the hundred households in Jinyi who participated in this matter, bore the brunt of the incident, and his life was worried! Xu Liang looked at Xu Changqing in a daze, wanting to comfort Xu Changqing for a few words, but felt that in the face of Emperor Chongzhen's monstrous anger, all his words were pale and powerless.
Xu Liang wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Xu Changqing with a tangled expression.
Xu Changqing smiled understandingly, and said, "Brother Xu needs to say more in a hurry. I came here today, not only for the sake of the prince's affairs, but more importantly, to tell my brother that from today onwards, my brother is not allowed to mention to anyone that Lord Luo wants you to find the sheepskin Diamond Sutra. ”
"Can't you mention it to your wife?" Xu Liang said.
"Even my own father and mother can't mention it!" Xu Changqing said, "Also, Brother Xu should not take the initiative to contact the Jinyi Guard of the Xi'an Institute." If you need Xu Liang in the future, Commander Luo will try to contact you. ”
Xu Liang asked in surprise, "Is the shape already so severe?" ”
Xu Changqing sighed deeply, drank all the tea in front of him, got up with a forced smile, waved his hand at Xu Liang and said, "I've finished explaining the words, let's go." ”
Xu Changqing's departing figure looked a little lonely and unrestrained. Xu Liang was sent outside the gate, Xu Changqing jumped on the mount brought by his subordinate Jinyi Wei Xiaoxiao, bowed his hand to Xu Liang, and patted his horse away. In the sound of horses' hooves, Xu Changqing's words came from afar: "The traces of my brother's departure from Jingning City late at night, I will smooth it out for you, and the rest, just ask for more blessings." ”
Xu Liang listened, and bent down to Xu Changqing's back from a distance to express his gratitude. With Xu Changqing's words, Xu Liang's suspicion and risk are much smaller, Xu Changqing himself is in danger, and he can still think of helping Xu Liang, and Xu Liang will take a look at Xu Changqing.
Thinking that the court would be suspicious of the death of the prince, Xu Liang unconsciously frowned.
In the Imperial Palace of Beijing City, in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was dressed in a Xuanhuang dragon robe, leaned on the dragon chair, held the book in one hand and looked closer, sneering while watching.
Hey, hey, hey! A cold and strange laughter floated in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the few palace maids and Xiao Huangmen who were waiting around dared to hang their heads tightly, pretending to be deaf and blind with peace of mind, and looking at the emperor at the demeanor, there must be nothing good.
Wang Chengen held two folds in his hand and entered the Yangxin Palace, and saw that the emperor was reading the folds, so he softly put the two books in his hand on the desk, and went around to the edge of the copper tripod, and burned the charcoal fire inside with a hairpin, feeling that the temperature in the house seemed to be a little higher, Wang Chengen returned to the desk, just like the palace maids and the little yellow door, hanging his head and serving.
However, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to let Wang Chengen play wood, Emperor Chongzhen slapped the fold in his hand on the table, and snorted coldly, as if to say to Wang Chengen, and as if to say to himself: "Wang Tiqian, who wholeheartedly worked for me, died outside Jingning City, and our Xu Tongzhi didn't want to avenge the injustice of the prince, but wrote a memora in a hurry, saying that he was very sad and frightened of Wang Tiqian's death. Hmph, he doesn't know what happiness is in his heart, panic? Panic fart! ”
The emperor was really angry, and the dignified Ninety-Five Supreme even scolded such vulgar words! Wang Chengen thought in his heart, he was a little bored when he thought of this Xu Liang making such a fuss, and he was very helpless when he thought of the deep revolutionary friendship between his nephew and this one.
"Your Majesty, Wang Tiqian died and was martyred, and Xu Liang, as the deputy envoy to suppress bandits, should also be guilty of the crime." Wang Chengen whispered, pointed to the desk, and said: "Well, this is a plea that has just been received from the General Administration Department, one is from Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, and the other is from Hong Chengchou, who participated in the politics of Shaanxi. ”
"Hmm." Chongzhen picked it up casually and flipped through it, feeling that he was not interested, so he put it down and asked casually: "Is there an excerpt of the Governor of the Three Sides, Wu Zhiwang?" ”
"Not ...... yet" Wang Chengen said, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen frowned, he added: "Maybe it's because the excerpt hasn't arrived in Beijing yet." ”
"Hmph," Chongzhen said unhappily: "Even the excerpts of participating in politics, the prefect, and the same knowledge have arrived, and he is the dignified governor of the three sides, who would dare to suppress his excerpts!" You don't have to cover for him, I know, this old man didn't write at all! ”
When Wang Chengen heard Emperor Chongzhen say this, he obediently stopped his mouth. In the past six months, the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, has been passive and slack, and Chongzhen has long been dissatisfied.
"Let the cabinet and the ministry discuss it in a few days, and send a younger person to replace Wu Zhiwang." Chongzhen stroked his forehead with his hand and commanded softly.
"Yes." Wang Chengen agreed, and then listened to Chongzhen again: "Spread the decree, Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Xuanxing Department, and Zhang Nian, the imperial history of the capital, entered the palace." (To be continued).
