Chapter 158: Help
Mrs. Mu of the Anguo Mansion and Mu Zhengyi's worries, Xie Xiang understands. But regarding the seizure of Qincha, Xie Xiang's views are different from those of the Anguo Mansion.
Xie Xiang believes that An Guogong's quick and hurried general into Beijing is not to exonerate himself, but to let the emperor see clearly the urgency of the situation in the north and the attitude of General Mu.
The emperor is so shrewd, he should not treat An Guogong because of the seizure of the Qin Mission. At most, it's just a reprimand and a punishment. An Guogong should not be afraid of this.
But who is An Guogong? He saw that the Qin Cha of the Ministry of War was so perfunctory, I was afraid that he had already guessed that King Xin and King Yi had begun to go to court, the political situation in Beijing and Central China was delicate, Zhou Shangshu was seeking stability at the moment, and he didn't want to make trouble, and the current situation in the north, if he wanted to do it, he would definitely eat most of the money and grain of the household department, so that the military department would inevitably have to face Lin Xiang.
At present, a sophisticated official like Zhou Shangshu must be unwilling to make this head for the north, so An Guogong took a lot of trouble to make such a fuss.
He wanted the emperor to see the crisis in the north, and let the emperor press the six departments to do things for him in the north!
He thought that what An Guogong was really afraid of was that because the people in the military department didn't want to take care of the affairs of the northern border, they used the matter of detaining Qincha as an excuse to press back his request for money this year.
After all, the current form in Beijing is delicate, at this time, it is inevitable that someone will make a mistake in doing things, and if you don't do things, it will naturally be right, right?
I have to say that An Guogong really understands people, don't those people represented by Zhou Shangshu think so!
Therefore, the most important thing about this letter is fast! It is necessary to submit the song to the emperor before the complaint is handed over.
Xie Xiang also knew that he could figure it out, and Zhou Shangshu could also figure it out after getting the news, and he would definitely find all kinds of reasons to detain An Guogong's performance. When the other copy arrives, hand it over together.
Zhou Shangshu and others are the recitals of Lao Junqin.
Since Zhou Shangshu was so obedient in his recommendation to be the chief of the labor army's mission this time, he must have been able to think of the significance of An Guogong's move.
An Guogong would not detain him for a long time, so the first thing he must have done after he regained his freedom was to write a note and submit it to Beijing as soon as possible. That Qin chief is probably only hoping that the military department can delay An Guogong's performance for two or three days.
If General Mu's note and Qin Cha's note were handed over together, then the military department would have more room to distinguish it, at least Zhou Shangshu would have no problem picking himself out.
Mrs. Xie's main hall was very quiet, Xie Xiang had a two-point recital in his hand, closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair slightly, carefully combing through these bad things in his heart.
And although Mu Hongshang was very anxious, she didn't dare to disturb him at will, so she sat quietly on the side, with a pair of cat-like big eyes staring round, like a hungry kitten, looking at Xie Xiang eagerly.
As soon as Xie Xiang opened his eyes, he happened to meet Mu Hongsheng's big round eyes, and he said to Mu Hongsheng, "The eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion boarded the door of my Xie Mansion overnight, and tomorrow the entire capital will probably know." ”
"Xiangye," Mu Hongshang immediately stood up, she misunderstood the meaning of Xie Xiang's words, respectfully saluted Xie Xiang, and then apologized very solemnly, "I'm sorry!" The grandmother asked the little girl to come to the door to disturb her, but it was really because of an emergency. The little girl knows that this move has caused trouble for your house, and she is really sorry. ”
Xie Xiang looked at the thirteen-year-old girl and apologized to him seriously, so much that he felt a little funny, he smiled and shook his head, "The eldest lady misunderstood, the old man didn't mean to blame the Anguo Mansion." The old man said that at the moment, it is meaningless for Xie Fu to avoid suspicion, I will help with this favor. The eldest lady can rest assured that the old lady can go back and I will help deliver this letter tomorrow morning. ”
Mu Hongshang didn't expect Xie Xiang to agree so easily, she was stunned at first, and then smiled directly, her smile was bright and thorough, making her whole face seem to light up.
"Thank you!" Mu Hongshang was so happy that tears were about to come out, "Thank you for your help!" Grandmother said, as long as you are willing to help, this great grace, we will not forget it up and down the Anguo Mansion. ”
"That's a big deal." Xie Xiang shook his head, "Although the affairs of the military department are not under the control of the old man, the old man is the prime minister of the Great Zhou, and this side is urgently handed over to the old man, if the old man suppresses it, it will be dereliction of duty." Tomorrow, I will help An Guogong and Mu Jingluo to pass the music, that is a business matter, and it is not a favor. ”
"Thank you too." Mu Hongsheng respectfully saluted Xiang Xie again. Then after standing up straight, a pair of big sparkling eyes, still with anticipation, kept looking at Xie Xiang's face.
Seeing her expression, Xie Xiang laughed, and he asked, "Miss Mu still has something to say to the old man?" ”
"The little girl just wants to say," Mu Hongshang hesitated for a moment before speaking, she only said one sentence, "The northern border is really in danger, and General Mu is selfless." ”
"The old man understands." Xie Xiang smiled and nodded at Mu Hongsheng, "Don't worry, the seizure of the Qin Cha is not a big deal for your family." As for the North...... The old man will persuade the emperor to consider increasing the army as soon as possible. But how the emperor decides, the old man is not good at making empty promises. ”
"Thank you for your help." Mu Hongshang bowed her head again and solemnly saluted Xie Xiang, "Hongshang believes that the emperor has his own judgment. ”
Xie Xiang smiled at Mu Hongsheng and nodded in response.
Mu Hongshang knew that it was not appropriate for her to stay in Xie Mansion for longer, so she directly bid farewell to Xie Xiang. Of course, Xie Xiang wouldn't keep her longer, and immediately called the maid to send her out.
When Mu Hongshang came out, Xie Shurou was standing at the door of Mrs. Xie's warm pavilion, tiptoeing to the door of the main hall, and when she saw her coming out, she immediately ran over in a few steps, and asked very nervously, "How?" ”
Mu Hongsheng didn't answer, but just smiled at Xie Shurou. Seeing her smiling face, Xie Shurou was immediately relieved, she also smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Mu Hongsheng's head with a double bun, "It's okay." It really scares me that you came so late. ”
"Sister Xie," Mu Hongsheng said, "Thank you for your help today." I don't want to stay in Xie Mansion for a long time, so I'll leave first, and if I'm free in a few days, I'll ask you to go out for a walk in the next post. Sister Xie, today I became your love, I have written down this favor, and I dare not forget it. ”
Kindness...... Xie Shurou looked at Mu Hongsheng's serious little face, and sighed slightly. If before, when she heard Mu Hongsheng's words, she would have gone crazy with joy, right? Since she crossed over, she has been trying to please Mu Hongsheng, so that one day, if she has something, Mu Hongshang can pull her and save her life.
However, when Mu Hongshang came to Xie's house in the evening today, she never thought about human favors, interactions and the like, she just kept worrying about Mu Hongsheng, worried that something big happened to the Mu family that could not be solved, and actually asked for her grandfather.
