Chapter 160: The Answer

Xie Changjing was waiting for Xie Xiang to come back in the study, and the concierge suddenly came over to pass the word, Jiang Wenbin came, and Xie Changjing was stunned for a moment.

While ordering someone to be invited to his study, he nagged strangely: "What's the matter today...... Why did Wen Bin come to the door in the middle of the night, could it be that there was really a big event? ”

The underage eldest sister of the Anguo Mansion and Jiang Wenbin came to the door in the middle of the night, but no, Xie Changjing could actually guess that there must be something going on in the north. He didn't have time to wait for Xie Xiang to return to the study, so he went to see Jiang Wenbin first.

Sure enough, when Xie Changjing entered the door, Jiang Wenbin was spinning around in his study, looking restless, and when he saw him appear, he immediately grabbed him and slapped an envelope directly in front of him.

"Chang Jing, you must help me this time!" Jiang Wenbin said straight to the point: "In any case, these two letters must be sent to the saint early tomorrow morning." ”

Xie Changjing didn't say anything, took the thick envelope, didn't open it, and asked directly: "It's a song from the north, right?" Who sent it to your home? ”

"You ......" Jiang Wenbin was stunned: "How do you know that it is the music of the north." ”

"There aren't many things that can make you Jiang Wenbin come to block my door in the middle of the night," Xie Changjing smiled and shook his head: "It's not for the northern border, why else?" How did you get these two letters? ”

"General Mu sent it to my house." As soon as Jiang Wenbin mentioned this, his face was full of anger: "I knew that Master Qin was unreliable!" Sure enough, when he went to the north, he was in Heng'an and Ningzhou, and he refused to go to the front line at all. In the end, Mu Jing was forced to have no choice, and led the troops to 'invite' him to Yanmen Pass. It's just that he refuses to go to the front line for fear of death, after all, he is just a civilian official. However, as an official of the Ministry of War, the situation in the north is critical, he only can't see it, shirk everything, and refuses to do anything, so that An Guogong has no choice but to detain him. ”

"What...... What the? At this moment, Xie Changjing was also dumbfounded: "Will the Qin Cha be detained?" This is also bold! ”

"You are the imperial history of the Imperial History Terrace, you naturally know it," Jiang Wenbin sighed: "This is a big crime of bullying the king, and you have to kill your head." But Wen Bin and An Guogong were also forced to do so. ”

Xie Changjing squinted and stared at Jiang Wenbin for two seconds, then suddenly threw the envelope in his hand on the table, turned around and walked out: "You sit down first, wait for me here." I'll go see my father and come back with you. ”

"Soak the sparse!" Jiang Wenbin lifted the envelope and was about to stuff it into Xie Changjing's hand, looking so anxious.

"No, you don't." Xie Changjing shook his head: "If my guess is right, I already have a copy of the exact same music at home." Do you know who just left before you came? ”

"Who is it?" Jiang Wenbin thought about it and felt that he couldn't guess. As soon as Mu Zhengyi left his house, he set off to Xie Mansion, even if Mu Zhengyi had to come to Xie Xiang, it would not be faster than him.

"Sister Anguo Mansion." Xie Changjing replied: "When I arrived at dinner, my father had already seen her. ”

"If that's the case, I just need one word," Jiang Wenbin immediately took back the envelope in his hand when he heard this, and put it directly into his arms, and then said: "You go, after asking what Xie Xiang means, send someone to send me a message, no matter what the result is, I will wait until this sentence and leave." ”

"What do you want to do?" Xie Changjing suddenly turned around vigilantly: "If my father doesn't agree, is it possible that you are still ready to break into the palace gate?" ”

"That's not necessary." Xie Xiang's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and before the two people in the house could react, Xie Xiang had already pushed the door in: "The old man has promised Sister Mu that he will help Anguo Mansion forward two notes." ”

"Prime Minister!" Director Jiang immediately bowed to Xie Xiang at the door with a grateful face: "Your Excellency is really worthy of being sincere, and you have thanked your lord for your humble duties." ”

"The old man is the prime minister, and An Guogong's performance is handed over to the old man, and the transfer to the saint is just due diligence, how can he be so praised by Lord Jiang." Xie Xiang replied lightly: "In my opinion, Lord Jiang is really dedicated to the public for the affairs of the northern border. ”

"I don't dare." Director Jiang bowed his head respectfully, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down: "An Guogong's recital is clearly written, the northern border is indeed in danger, in such a situation, how can you not be humble and dedicated." My lord, the increase of troops and the repair of the city defense really can't be delayed any longer! Humble and invite your lordship to plan for the north. ”

"Wen Bin, what are you doing here!" Xie Changjing hurriedly went to help his friend, but Xie Xiang on the side suddenly smiled.

"The northern border is like a dangerous egg, this is the second time the old man has heard this sentence today." Xie Xiang's smile quickly appeared, and then quickly disappeared: "Before saying goodbye, Senior Sister Mu was similar to Lord Jiang, she 'The northern border is like a dangerous egg, and General Mu is selfless'." The old man understood, and he should also go. Therefore, Lord Jiang can rest assured that the old man will try his best to persuade the emperor to increase his troops. ”

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Wenbin ignored his friend's obstruction, and immediately wanted to kowtow to Xie Xiang. was personally dragged by Xie Xiang.

"Master Jiang," Xie Xiang said in his words, "It's too early for you to thank me now!" I complied with Sister Mu's request, but I may not be able to do it. For such a big matter, the emperor must ask Lin Xiang, Li Xiang, and Gu Daxue for their opinions, and he will definitely convene the six officials to discuss together. ”

Jiang Wenbin fell silent for a moment. Obviously, the affairs in the north require a large amount of money and grain to be spent, and Lin Xiang, who is in charge of the household department, will not have a good time.

Li Xiang is in charge of the military department, and Zhou Shangshu's attitude also represents Li Xiang's attitude to some extent. Two of the three phases are unreliable, that is, Master Gu seems to be able to fight for service at the moment.

Besides, the officials of the six departments, I don't know how many philistine officials like Zhou Shangshu are there! In the current situation of the court, if they want to do more, it is better to save one thing, and everyone opposes the increase of troops in the north, and things are indeed not easy to do.

"Don't be in a hurry," Xie Xiang thought for a while and then said, "If it can't be done urgently, then postpone." The emperor is not a faint king, he knows what the situation in the north is. In my opinion, the emperor may not want to respond to An Guogong. But as a king, he can't do whatever he wants about government affairs, after all, the emperor has issued a holy decree, and it is still the courtiers who do things, if Lin Xiang, Li Xiang, plus two or three Shangshu oppose it, the emperor is also embarrassed. If you make a hard order to do it, the officials of the six departments may not be dedicated, and the emperor can't rest assured. ”

"Father, are you ......" Xie Changjing nodded as if he understood.

"Not bad." Xie Xiang nodded: "It's still as we planned before, starting with the Zhending Mansion Yin and Qin Fenglu to pacify the envoys." Even a thirteen-year-old girl in the Anguo Mansion knew that the situation in the north was critical at the moment, and it would not be good for anyone to drag it out, but Zhou Shangshu just couldn't see through it. It's not as good as a girl, I think he's a scholar, and it's time to do it. ”
