Women and men look at things from different angles. Jiang Wenbin really didn't think about sending his family away first, but the first thing that came to mind was to send the Jiang family out of Beijing.

It's already night, and it's really unrealistic to temporarily arrange for the Jiang family's family to leave Beijing, but finding a place to protect them, Duchess An Guo can still do it easily. From some points of view, Jiang Wenbin, the new second-class officer, is really inferior to the ladies of the Anguo Mansion, he does not control so many resources in his hands, and it is not easy to hide a family in Beijing.

And if this matter is done by the Duchess of Anguo, it is just a few words, and it is very easy.

The willingness of the Anguo Mansion to help Jiang Wenbin protect his family is enough to prove the attitude of the Mu family. They are willing to support Jiang Wenbin.

This made Jiang Wenbin breathe a sigh of relief, and his face finally relaxed a little. But on the contrary, after ordering someone to arrange Jiang Wenbin's family, Mrs. Mu's face became more solemn.

Mu Hongshang looked back at her grandmother's face, then at Jiang Wenbin, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Jiang, haven't you shown this letter to others?" Lord Xiao Xie shouldn't know, right? ”

Jiang Wenbin knew what Mu Hongsheng wanted to ask, and he smiled slightly bitterly. He really couldn't answer this question. Of course, Xie Changjing didn't know, if he knew, he would definitely try his best to stop this letter of sparse face.

This letter is very widespread, involving almost all the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the relatives and dignitaries, and of course the officials from the poor family will also be affected, but for officials from a family like Xie Changjing, the damage to interests will be even more serious.

And Xie Changjing naturally knows what the consequences will be if such a recital is handed over. Jiang Wenbin will become the target of public criticism, Xie Changjing will not watch him "make a fool", he will definitely stop Jiang Wenbin at all costs.

As a friend, Jiang Wenbin was unwilling to hurt Xie Changjing or embarrass him. So Jiang Wenbin has actually written this letter for a few days, but he has been hiding it from Xie Changjing. Jiang Wenbin was actually hesitating himself, if he hadn't received the emergency military report that Shuozhou was besieged today, he might have hesitated for two more days.

What he was afraid of was not the hostility of the courtiers, nor was he afraid of facing the threat of the emperor's relatives, but he was afraid that the people would betray his relatives and leave, and he was afraid that Xie Changjing would eventually become his enemy.

Seeing that Jiang Wenbin didn't answer, Mu Hongsheng frowned slightly, and her eyes showed a little worry: "Lord Jiang, without the support of the Xie family this time, you ......"

"It's okay, there's no need to worry." Jiang Wenbin pretended to smile at Mu Hongsheng relaxedly: "At least your Anguo Mansion is willing to support me, and I am not alone." ”

"But my lord," Mu Hongsheng shook his head slightly: "My father and uncle are on the battlefield in the north, and we really can't help with the affairs of the court." ”

Of course Jiang Wenbin understood what Mu Hongshang meant. The generals were in a bitter battle with the Rongdi people, so they naturally had no time to take care of the affairs of the court. And the people who stayed in Beijing in the Anguo Mansion were all women, and no one went to the court, and their support actually didn't mean much to Jiang Wenbin.

Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen also showed embarrassed expressions. They really couldn't figure out who they should contact in advance to support Jiang Wenbin. This is such a wide range of blows, who will it be sent to...... I'm afraid I won't get a response, right?!

Mu Hongsheng's words made the room fall silent, but at this time, Old Madam Mu, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly spoke: "Don't worry, Lord Jiang, since you trust our Anguo Mansion, then I will not live up to your trust, and I will be your backing." Ah Luo, you take someone to sort out the account books, Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen, bother the two of you, take a few gentlemen and stewards, and sort out our family's accounts overnight, how much tax should be paid every year, there is a roughly number, tomorrow I will ask the court to carry the silver to the emperor in person. In any case, in front of the ministers, make a gesture first, we support Lord Jiang. ”

"The old lady understands the righteousness so well, and the younger generation admires it." Jiang Wenbin immediately bowed to the ground at Old Madam Mu.

"Master Jiang is not busy thanking you first." Old Madam Mu waved her hand: "Just rely on the taxes that my family took the initiative to make, I'm afraid I can't help you share too much pressure." The courtiers will still keep an eye on you, and if all their attention is focused on you, you may not last long. Except for my family, the only one who is willing to support you unconditionally is probably the emperor. It's just that although the adult's performance is beneficial to the society, it hurts the muscles and bones, even if the emperor is in his heart towards you, he can't ignore the court and insist on going his own way. ”

"Yu Sheji has a hundred benefits and no harm, but it touches the interests of hundreds of officials," Mu Hongsheng suddenly interjected: "It is natural for the emperor to be willing, and it is natural for the ministers to oppose it." But grandmother, there is one more person you missed, and that is the prince. According to what Master Jiang said, the current financial and tax situation of Da Zhou is worrying, and now it is at war with Rong Di, which will further drag down the finances. Therefore, the current court is like a broken ship that has leaked the bottom, and if the hole of the household department is not blocked, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he will also take over a mess. ”

"Exactly." Old Madam Mu nodded: "Therefore, Lord Jiang, although it is impossible for the Xie family to support this letter of yours, isn't there still a letter king on the head of the Xie family?" This matter will not necessarily be opposed by the king of faith. Adults might as well go to the palace overnight and inform the prince, so that he can be prepared. ”

"Thank you, old lady, for your advice." Jiang Wenbin arched his hand, stopped eating, and turned around and wanted to go out.

"Wait a minute, sir." Old Madam Mu hurriedly stopped him: "After discussing with King Xin, if you are sure to play the emperor early tomorrow morning, remember to send a letter to the old man." The old body will also ask for permission to enter the palace tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Jiang Wenbin turned around and respectfully saluted Mrs. Mu: "Thank you, Mrs. Mu." ”

"My lord took the risk to play, but also to raise more money and food for the soldiers in the north, I should thank you." Old Madam Mu waved her hand at Jiang Wenbin: "I thank the adults for my children." Go, may all the best for your lordship. ”

Jiang Wenbin turned around and left, leaving a table of feasts where no one moved their chopsticks. Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen didn't plan to eat anymore, so they stood up together and said to Duchess Anguo: "Madam, time is tight, let's go to the account office now, right?" ”

Duchess An Guo nodded and was about to get up, but Old Madam Mu stretched out her hand to stop her: "Don't be busy yet, wait a minute, I still have something to say." ”
