Chapter 145: Variables
"That's why I'll show you first." Jiang Wenbin seemed to have thought about the consequences a long time ago, and said lightly: "On the side of Yushitai, it depends on you. If you prepare in advance, I don't think the case will drag on too long. ”
"Nope." After Xie Changjing thought about it, he picked up the two letters on the table, picked up an envelope casually, and stuffed the two letters together and put them in his arms.
"I think about it, I feel that you must not come forward in this matter," Xie Changjing turned around and wanted to go out: "I'll discuss it with my father first when I go back, and I'll reply to you later." Don't worry, you need to plan slowly. ”
"Why don't you hurry," Jiang Wenbin grabbed Xie Changjing: "The Mid-Autumn Festival Labor Army has a fixed process, and Director Qin even left Beijing earlier than I left last year, but he hasn't come back yet." Not only that, but there is no news back so far, can I not be worried? At present, there is no one in the Anguo Mansion in Beijing, even Anguo Gong has gone to the north, and only a general Xiao Mu who is not qualified to go to the court stays in the capital. ”
"Then you can't be in a hurry!" Xie Changjing shook off Jiang Wenbin's hand, frowned and replied, "What's the use of you being in a hurry?" The princes entered the court, it was the most sensitive period, who is standing behind Li Xiang, don't tell me, you don't know! You impeach Zhou Shangshu and Li Xiang at this juncture, can Prince Yi spare you? ”
"But ......" Jiang Wenbin was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Xie Changjing.
"Don't do it," Xie Changjing turned around, pointed at Jiang Wenbin's nose and said, "If you don't want to sacrifice your life to gain a good reputation as a direct minister for yourself, just give me a stop." You yourself said that there is no one in the capital under the Anguo Mansion, if you put yourself in order to impeach Zhou Shangshu, then the only person in the court who is willing to run for the north will be gone! At this time, if there is nothing to do in the north, what if there is really something? Could it be that you want General Xiao Mu to break into the court? ”
"Okay!" Jiang Wenbin let go of his hand: "I'll leave it to you." Chang Jing, don't let me down. ”
"You don't have to tell me that." Xie Changjing took out the envelope in his arms again and raised it: "This is a ready-made pie that smashed into the hands of my Xie family, can we make good use of it?" Since Li Xiang and Zhou Shangshu were caught by us with pigtails, there is absolutely no reason to let them go. It's just that you have to listen to me when and how you use these two notes. ”
"Good!" Jiang Wenbin nodded: "Also, Xie Xiang hopes that you can help me, if Director Qin comes back this time and brings General Mu's recital, I also hope that Xie Xiang can help say a few words in front of the emperor."
"Don't worry, I know this." Xie Changjing nodded, turned around and left his friend's house, and went home directly, not daring to delay for a moment.
Xie Changjing went to visit friends early in the morning with mooncakes. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Xie and Xie Xiang entered the palace to receive the banquet according to the rules, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at home will not start until the evening.
Therefore, Xie Changjing also went out early, he originally planned to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival not to go to the yamen, to drink tea and talk poetry with Jiang Wenbin, and then stay at Jiang's house for lunch, drink two glasses of wine with friends, and then go home in the afternoon.
The plan was good, Mrs. Jiang heard that Xie Changjing was visiting, and she also began to kill chickens and geese to prepare for hospitality, who would have thought that it was only an hour, and Xie Changjing hurriedly ran home.
Mrs. Jiang of the Jiang family was stunned, and the Xie family, Grandma Xie, who heard that her husband was coming home, was also a little confused.
After Xie Changjing went home, he went into the study, closed the door for a long time and didn't move, and didn't say that he wanted tea or water. Grandma Xie was a little worried, but finally couldn't help but take the freshly stewed bird's nest and went to the study in the front yard.
Xie Changjing saw his wife running to the outer courtyard, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the bird's nest in front of him with a strange expression: "Why did you suddenly send bird's nest over."
"It was originally prepared for my mother," Grandma Xie replied gently and gently: "Father and mother entered the palace early in the morning, and it was not easy to receive the banquet in the palace, and they should be tired and thirsty when they came back, so they prepared this in advance." Uncle rest assured, the father and mother want to use it, and the concubine body has been left in advance. ”
"Hmm!" Xie Changjing nodded, took a bite of the bird's nest and said, "I originally thought that this year, the queen mother would have a decree to come down and let you and Rou'er also enter the palace to receive the banquet." Fortunately, it was still the same as in previous years, which made me feel a lot more relieved. ”
Listening to Xie Changjing's words, Grandma Xie smiled softly: "Father is not worried, uncle is worried first."
Xie Changjing wanted to say something, but just opened his mouth, but shook his head and smiled: "I can't tell a lot for a while." Naturally, I want to worry about you and Rou'er first. ”
These words made Grandma Xie happy, and she pursed her lips and smiled for a long time before she remembered what she was here for.
"Why did Uncle come back so early?" Grandma Xie asked, "Didn't you go to Lord Jiang's mansion?" Didn't you say when you left in the morning that you wouldn't come back for dinner at noon? How did you come back so early? ”
"Brother Jiang has some things at home, and I don't want to stay long." Xie Changjing didn't want to explain more, just a few perfunctory words: "I'll use it in the study for lunch, you don't have to worry too much, the family banquet in the evening, you are still busy, go and rest for a while."
After sending away Grandma Xie, Xie Changjing took out two copies of Jiang Wenbin's notes from under a stack of books, and read them carefully over and over again.
Xie Xianghe and his wife entered the palace early in the morning to receive the banquet, and when they returned home, they were already unorthodox. According to the rules of previous years, after the old couple returned home, they washed up a little, used some snacks, and then took a nap.
Xie Xiang didn't go to the back house after returning home, and went directly to the outer study. He was in his sixties, and when he came back from the banquet, his back hurt, and he had just changed his clothes and washed them, and he was crooked on the floor.
The servants brought easy-to-digest porridge and snacks, and as soon as he sat up and wanted to eat, he saw Xie Changjing unceremoniously push open the door of his outer study, and directly held a thick envelope under Xie Xiang's nose.
"What's so urgent," Xie Xiang put down the dishes and chopsticks in a slightly surprised way and took the envelope.
"Father, let's start and see." Xie Changjing sighed and sat on the round stool on the side: "Wen Bin gave it to me." This guy is really iron-headed, but luckily he still knows to consult with me first, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for his own death. ”
Xie Xiang opened the envelope, only glanced at it, and then stopped eating, and directly called the servant to come in and remove the table, and ordered people not to disturb.
The father and son were locked in the study, and carefully studied the two impeachment letters over and over again.
"Is there any evidence for all of the above?" After a long time, Xie Xiangcai asked with a serious face.
"Qin Fenglu's military salary is short of only one letter of love," Xie Changjing replied: "The main responsibility for this matter lies with the appeasement of Cui Wenju. Three years ago, Wen Bin has already obtained empirical evidence for the transfer of military quarters in the north. ”
