Chapter 535: Ambition
Zheng Ying's words made the entire study instantly quiet. But everyone reacted quickly, and Mr. Sun spoke first: "What does the prince mean is that He Wenmao has calculated from the beginning, and once something happens, he will push Zhao Zhiliang out to take the blame?" ”
"After all, Zhao Zhiliang has done such a thing." Zheng Ying replied.
"And Master Jiang said before that this idea is likely to be given to He Wenmao by Zhao Zhiliang." Mu Hongshang added: "As long as this idea is Zhao Zhiliang's idea, then what he has done will definitely not be able to hide from He Wenmao." Many years ago, the courtiers knew about the robbery of the Rongdi people across the border, and Zhao Zhiliang was the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War at that time, so he Wenmao could guess the truth without saying it explicitly. ”
"That's what worries me the most." Zheng Ying nodded at Mu Hongsheng: "Zhao Zhiliang thought that he had grabbed He Wenmao's handle, and he thought that the two of them were grasshoppers on a rope right now." However, people like He Wenmao will never fully trust Zhao Zhiliang. And today we found out that He Wenmao is still involved with the Lin family, so at the moment, it seems that his previous series of actions against Li Xiang are very suspicious. ”
"He's the one of King Yi, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Mu Hongshang asked.
"No, it won't." Zheng Ying shook her head: "He Wenmao did take refuge in Zheng Jin when he was in Chunzhou. The Chunzhou Ordnance Case is so big, just relying on Lin Xiang's efforts to protect it, he can't be blessed by misfortune like today. But he is Zheng Jin's person, it doesn't mean that he won't do some small actions behind Zheng Jin's back, and he should do it behind Zheng Jin's back. As for his current involvement with the Lin family, I can't say whether Zheng Jin knows it in his heart. If Zheng Jin knew that He Wenmao was still in contact with the Lin family in private, it could only mean one thing - the remaining forces of the entire Lin family had actually thrown themselves into King Yi. ”
"It's also natural." Mr. Sun lowered his head and added: "If there is no today's thing, He Wenmao actually has a bright future." After Lin Xiang returned to his hometown, the Lin family is still in the court, there are really no outstanding figures, He Wenmao is a student of Lin Xiang, and now he is a second-grade scholar, with outstanding political achievements. If the forest officials want to put forward a new leader, he is very suitable. He Wenmao is King Yi's person, and it is also a normal choice for the Lin officials to fall to King Yi together. ”
Is it possible that the remaining forces of the Lin family have fallen to Zheng Jin? Mr. Sun's words made Mu Hongsheng couldn't help but be a little worried about Zheng Ying, she raised her head and looked at Zheng Ying's face carefully, but found that Zheng Ying's face was still as calm as water, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
Of course, Zheng Ying noticed Mu Hongsheng's short gaze, but he didn't look up, but deliberately stared at the small paper scroll on the table, avoiding Mu Hongsheng's gaze.
The Mu family is not involved in party disputes, let alone the battle for storage positions, and Zheng Ying is unwilling to let Mu Hongshang focus on these things.
Fortunately, the topic was quickly pulled away, and Mr. Chen said: "In this way, the relationship between He Wenmao and Li Xiang, we need to re-examine. According to me, this He Wenmao is probably very ambitious. is just a scholar, I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy him. ”
"At the moment, it seems that Li Xiang and Zhao Zhiliang's wishful thinking has failed." Zheng Ying replied briefly: "They thought they had taken He Wenmao's handle, but they didn't know that He Wenmao was afraid that he would take the lead in treating them as the back road." ”
"But Li Xiang is also King Yi's person," Mu Hongshang opened her mouth to add: "Right now, Li Xiangruo and He Wenmao have infighting, which is not good for King Yi." King Yi is not stupid. ”
"Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, He Wenmao will never easily tear his face with Li Xiang and Zhao Zhiliang." Zheng Ying replied: "That was his last retreat." You must know that if He Wenmao can push the black cauldron to the head of the military department, then the first unlucky person is not Li Xiang, but the military department's Shangshu. If he can take advantage of this time to bring down the military department Shangshu, Li Xiang should be happy to see it, and he will do his best to help He Wenmao and put the charge on Sun Shangshu's head. ”
"If that's the case, I'm afraid Lord Jiang is also in danger." Mr. Sun said worriedly: "Master Jiang is an official of the Xie family, and I am afraid that Li Xiang is in the same vein, so he has long regarded him as a thorn in his side." ”
"Exactly." Zheng Ying nodded: "Therefore, we must not easily startle the snake at the moment." ”
"I'm only worried that it's not just Li Xianghui who will do his best to help He Wenmao get away with his crimes." Old Madam Mu sighed: "If He Wenmao has a bright future, he is also extremely valuable to King Yi. ”
"That's not something to be afraid of." Zheng Ying shook his head: "The sixth emperor brother of this king is not stupid, although He Wenmao is his person, he will not protect He Wenmao regardless of right and wrong." With such a big case, the father and the emperor are keeping an eye on it, and it is impossible for King Yi to rashly speak to He Wenmao. The most important thing is the attitude of the father. As long as we can successfully find out the truth and hand over the evidence to our father, He Wenmao is already an unusable abandoned son in the eyes of King Yi, and this king is sure that King Yi will not say a word to He Wenmao. ”
"Since the prince has this certainty, then leave it to the prince to deal with it with all his powers." Old Madam Mu nodded: "We all believe in the prince from top to bottom in the Anguo Mansion. ”
"It's about the household department, in fact, there is another person available." Zheng Ying replied: "Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who has been the secretary of the household department for many years. Although during his tenure, the household department was firmly controlled by Lin Xiang, but he has been operating in the household department for many years, and he can be regarded as deeply rooted. Now that there is an accident with military funds in the north, this black pot is about to be detained on him, can this Sun Shangshu be restrained? This king felt that he might find someone to contact Sun Shangshu and ask him to help sort out the affairs of the household department. However, this face can't come out of this king, it's best to let Sun Shangshu come to this king by himself. ”
"Don't worry, the prince." Old Madam Mu immediately nodded clearly: "This matter, it is most appropriate for our Mu family to do it." ”
"Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to the Mu family. It's best to find a way to convince Sun Shangshu as soon as possible. Zheng Ying continued: "On the northern side, we can't relax, we must continue to track down the whereabouts of that batch of ordnance. It is impossible for the destruction of ordnance to be without traces, and careful investigation will inevitably lead to some clues. Tomorrow, the king will send someone to the north to assist An Guogong in his investigation. Also, the fifth prince can't return to Beijing for the time being, and he still needs to continue to recuperate in the north, he is a living witness, and he has to prevent He Wenmao's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”
"This king will also order the trusted doctor to go to the north tomorrow, even if the fifth prince can't return to Beijing to recuperate, this king will also order someone to take care of him properly, his leg is ...... This king will send the best doctor of bone wounds, old lady, rest assured, this king will do his best. ”
