Chapter 593: Cutting corners
Hearing Rong Yu's words, Captain Zhai said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking about the lower officials, but since the lower officials have decided to assist Your Highness, they will not be afraid of being discovered by the three princes and their party, and it will be a matter of time before they know it." ”
Rong Yu glanced at the confident Captain Zhai and knew that he had confident capital and pride.
After all, Taiwei Zhai is in charge of the entire military affairs, and even many of the Jin Wuwei in Chang'an City are directly managed by him.
Rong Yu had always sighed that Rong Qi had a top spot like Rong Che in his hands, but now that Taiwei Zhai was able to stand in his camp, he was naturally overjoyed.
However, these days, many officials standing in their own camp have been found out a lot of faults by the people of the three princes and the party, and their power has become weaker and weaker.
With such a big hole card, Rongyu naturally has to make good use of and protect it.
Therefore, his meetings with Captain Zhai on weekdays are very hidden, and more often, they are secretly exchanged letters.
Rong Yu said: "Taiwei Zhai's loyalty, this prince is naturally very clear. But this time, the original thing really failed a little. ”
Taiwei Zhai arched his hand and said: "It was the lower official who lived up to the expectations of the second highness, originally Liu Changyuan would definitely die, and the Liu family was just a plate of loose sand, but I didn't expect Duan Wufang's investigation methods to be so good that he could actually find out the head of the lower official." ”
Although Rong Yu was a little displeased, he couldn't attack in front of Captain Zhai, so he just asked: "If it was the Guo family who went to get it at that time, it should be more than that." ”
He and Zhai Taiwei's original target was Guo Xinyue's brother Guo Sheng, but Guo Sheng has always been self-disciplined, and with a favorite girl, it is not easy to start at all, so they replaced Liu Changyuan, anyway, for them, the Guo family and the Liu family are going to collapse.
The Guo family is the mother family of the three princesses, and if something happens to the Guo family, the three princes will not be good.
And the Liu family has always supported Ji Yanning, favoring Rong Che, and even more favoring the three princes, and getting rid of this military squire also has a lot of benefits.
If it was really Liu Mu's second son who killed the girl of the imperial historian, I was afraid that Liu Mu's position would not be guaranteed, but unfortunately these plans were ruined by Duan Wufang.
Zhai Taiwei relieved Rong Yu and said: "It's just a small setback, it shouldn't be a big deal, and I will look for an opportunity to kill all the people of the Three Princes Party one by one in the future." ”
"It's easy to say, such an opportunity is rare, and planning is a waste of effort. Rong Yu sighed.
Taiwei Zhai looked at the unstable second prince in front of him, in fact, in his heart, he didn't think how suitable the second prince was for the throne, but many people in the camp of the third prince didn't deal with him, if it was really the third prince who became the prince, he was afraid that his future situation would be worrying.
So he had to support the second prince to ascend to the throne.
Now there are not many capable ministers around the second prince, Su Guifei's mother family has long declined, and the only one who can help him is probably himself, if he really helps the second prince to the throne, this biggest dragon merit should belong to him, and his status can naturally go to the next step at that time.
Captain Zhai said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged, it's up to you, no matter what, the lower officials will definitely help Your Highness." ”
Hearing Taiwei Zhai say this, Rong Yu's heart felt a little better.
Captain Zhai said: "This time, the lower officials came to ask for a meeting, for the sake of the long river breaking the embankment as His Highness said. ”
At the mention of the long river bursting, Rong Yu's face became ugly again.
He looked at Taiwei Zhai with burning eyes, and said, "Taiwei, you must help me this time, if you let my father know about the breaking of the embankment of the Long River, I am afraid that I will ......."
The second prince lowered his head, his eyes were deep, but he couldn't say any more.
This is not a trivial matter, the Changhe River is the longest river in the territory of the Great Wei, running through the entire territory of the Great Wei, and now during the autumn flood, the source of the Yangtze River water source has skyrocketed, and the heavy rain near the Changhe River a few days ago is even more unbearable.
There was a dam in Zhangzhou that was washed away, and many people were affected.
It's just that the prefect of Zhangzhou concealed the matter and sent a secret report to the second prince.
When Zhai Taiwei received the news of the second prince, he knew a lot of tricks.
This prefect of Zhangzhou was originally promoted by the second prince, and he was also appointed as the prefect of Zhangzhou, and the imperial court used a lot of money in the river every year, but according to the temperament of some officials, they always had to be greedy for some money.
I'm afraid that this disaster is because of the original cutting corners.
If it is found, the prefect of Zhangzhou will definitely not be protected, and even the second prince will be implicated.
Captain Zhai pondered: "This matter can only be concealed for a while, but I am afraid that it will be discovered sooner or later." ”
Rong Yu said: "That's why this prince thought about discussing this matter with the Taiwei. ”
"It's better to send the disaster information up, let the imperial court allocate funds to save people, and then use the disaster relief money to continue to use it to strengthen the embankment. Captain Zhai said, "Since the disaster has been discovered, the emperor will inevitably send the Qin Cha to investigate, and then we will take down the position of the Qin Cha and be prepared." ”
Rong Yu said: "It would be nice if it was really as easy to say as Taiwei, but now that I am fighting with the third child in the court, if he knows about the affairs of Zhangzhou, he will definitely do his best to take the position of this Qincha, or secretly send someone to investigate." What's more, with my father's temperament, he will never let me interfere in this matter again. ”
Hearing Rong Yu's words, Taiwei Zhai frowned, and said, "Then how does His Highness plan to act?"
Rong Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "Over the years, the prefect of Zhangzhou has never been less filial to this prince, and part of the money he was greedy for to repair the river dam was handed over to me and my mother...... If his matter was caught by the third prince, and the prince did not save him in time, I am afraid that he will use this to blackmail the prince. ”
Taiwei Zhai finally understood why the second prince was so worried about this matter.
It turned out that it was because his handle was in the hands of others, if the emperor knew that his son was still greedy for the money to build the river embankment, let his subordinates cut corners, and harm the people now, he would definitely be extremely disappointed in the second prince.
And if the officials in the court knew about it, they would definitely be impeached, and if they did such a thing, they probably wouldn't have anything to do with the throne.
So this matter has to be kept under wraps anyway.
Zhai Taiwei's eyes moved slightly, thinking that the purpose of the second prince to inform him of this matter was nothing more than to let him make a move, but to solve the prefect of Zhangzhou.
Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Taiwei Zhai's eyes.
The prefect of Zhangzhou took refuge in the second prince, and the filial piety silver that should be given over the years should not be less, but he didn't expect that something really happened to him, and the second prince not only did not keep him, but also thought about how to solve him.
