Chapter 133: Ants Shake the Tree
Chen likes to stumble his teeth, but he never speaks ill of a particular character.
Whether it is in front of the person or after the person, whether the other party is hypocritical or true evil, Mama Liu once said that such a quality is not obvious, and it is very rare to put it in the palace, otherwise it will not be Chen Xi's turn to earn out of the flower and bird room, and he was selected by Chen Bao to be sent to the Qifang Pavilion.
At this time, I listened to the question, and sure enough, I just talked about the matter: "Master Kong has no family, and it has little to do with this matter." is a student of Wei Xiang again, and the emperor ordered Wei Xiang to take Master Kong with him when he was thinking about it behind closed doors, and only ordered Master Kong to resign from his post and wait for investigation. ”
Nian Qian'an said that it was good, she just wanted to use this to break one of Father Wei's arms, she never thought that Father Wei could fall because of Feiyuwei, Kong Zhen really failed to ask Xu Yuezhong's people to catch the big handle, should she be glad that Kong Zhen was still clean?
Remember the shallow peace and make fun in the suffering, and let the distant mountains reward Chen Xi.
Chen Xi saw that she liked to listen, so he patted his chest and said: "The slave is afraid that this matter will not be over, and when there is any new movement, the slave will come to listen to the girl for a pastime?" ”
Of course, it's not over.
She still had her hands on her back and waited to uproot the Flying Fish Guard.
Nian Qian'an unconsciously showed a faint sneer, and suddenly felt that Chen Xi's name was really good, and he was likable in his words and deeds, and asked Yuanshan to pick out a plate of dim sum to reward Chen Xi.
Chen Xi smiled and floated away.
Nian Qiuran walked in with a pale face, and conveyed the words of the old lady, "Grandmother said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be celebrated, and there should be a break before the Mid-Autumn Festival if there is chaos outside, let us stay at home honestly for a while, and don't ......go out if we have nothing to do."
She now lives in the princess's mansion, and Mrs. Yu asks her to talk about anything, one is lazy to discuss with Princess An He, and the other is to save facing Mama Liu with a shelf from the Internal Affairs Mansion, and only use her as a mouthpiece.
Nian Qian'an only thought that Nian Qiuran was frightened by the news outside, rubbed Nian Qiuran's little face and smiled: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, even if my grandmother doesn't say it, my mother also thought of it, it's just right not to go out on a cold day." ”
Princess An and Princess He were very jealous and hateful, and while taking the Feiyuwei case as a joke, she strictly ordered the princess's mansion to take care of the portal, and then the state official set fire to her daughter and did not allow her daughter to go out.
When I came back, I refused to tell my daughter, and it was too bloody in the name.
Fortunately, Chen Xi did the ear report.
Nian Qian'an hummed sour bubbles in a low voice, and Nian Qiuran smiled reluctantly when he saw this.
Her eldest maid helped her back to the small cross courtyard, and when she saw her sitting in a daze, she sighed softly in her heart: the girl said that she had put it down, but when something happened to the person's family, she still couldn't help but worry about it.
"Girl?" The big maid made hot tea and sent it to Nian Qiuran, so that Nian Qiuran's face was slow, and she said in a low voice: "Although the slave doesn't understand the big things outside, but to put it mildly, the Wei family's reputation is there, and they are usually impeached." Wei Xiang said that he had thought about it behind closed doors this time, but he did not lose his official position and did not affect the Wei family's daughters and three sons, maybe it was a good thing? ”
Nian Qiuran held the teacup and nodded, his face slowly recovering blood, "I hope it's as you said...... I don't have anything else on my mind, I'm just worried that he's not doing well. ”
seems to explain to the big girl, and seems to be explaining for herself, but her expression is still a little dumbfounded.
Nian Qian'an was also in a daze, looking for an excuse to branch out of the distant mountains near the water, and leaned over excitedly and said, "Girl, Feiyuwei suddenly had an accident, is it related to the six princes?" You weren't surprised at what you heard, as if you had known it. Did the six princes talk to you in private? You've been sitting in a daze these days, so you're worried about the Six Princes? It's good now, why are you still in a daze? ”
She talked to herself, and she said everything by herself.
Nian Qian'an felt that it was easy to save trouble near the water, and knelt down for the brain circuit of the near water, which was different from ordinary people, and asked the Wei family who was thinking about it, "Wei Xiang has thought about it behind closed doors, what is the Wei family like now?" ”
She actually wanted to ask, is Wei's mother good, and the Wei family's brothers are good?
It was rare to be clever near the water, and replied with a sentence that made Nian Qian'an end his daze, "What can it be?" It's good up and down! ”
The Nian family detained the girls and did not allow them to go out, and the people of the two houses still did their errands as usual, and they could see clearly that the Wei family was indeed doing well when they passed by the Wei family, who were also in Zhumenfang.
As usual, it is not affected by Wei Xiang's closed-door thinking.
However, the Wei family has always been low-key in communication, the porter has to be quite cold, only accept the worship post and do not let people enter the door, a holy oracle can not be violated, just close the door to thank the guests, it is not strange to watch the carriage and horse come and go, point to the filial piety sent by the outside, and the boss is unhappy when he hears the sound of horses' hooves, and he looks at it with his eyebrows, and is busy with a happy face, "Say hello to Gongzi Kong!" The master, the eldest son, and the second son are all in the outer study! ”
Kong Zhen threw the horsewhip to the porter, and when he stepped into the outer study, he saw Wei Wuxian squatting under the old tree in the courtyard, as well as Wei Mingzhong, the eldest son of Wei, and Wei Mingcheng, the second son of Wei.
The father and son were around a self-striking bell, Wei Wuxian rolled up his sleeves and didn't know what he was messing with, Wei Mingzhong helped hand over the wrench driver, and Wei Mingcheng held a towel to help his father wipe his sweat and hands from time to time.
Who would have thought that Wei Xiang, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, had no image in private, and was actually an ordinary old man like an idle cloud and a wild crane.
Kong Zhen's gloomy face suddenly softened, and his tone was as helpless as if he was dealing with an old child, "What are you busy with?" ”
"Ah Zhen is here." Wei Wuxian thumped his old waist and stood up, threw away his tools and stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have heard that Liu Gan has a quirk of listening to the chiming bell chime, I have been idle for a few days, and I just put the pinched ringing back, and I also experienced what Liu Gan's quirk is like." ”
Thinking about it has become leisure, how can there be a little bit of gloom?
It seems to be very familiar with Liu Gan, but in fact, an emperor and a favored minister, his political views are not the same, and he smiles and grins every time he meets him, and he is disgusted with both in his heart.
Wei Wuxie's tone seemed to be completely innocent, and he called his subordinates, "Carry it back to the house." ”
There are only three such regulated self-ringing bells in Beijing, one is placed in the emperor's heart cultivation hall, one was given by the emperor to Liu Gan as a birthday gift, and the last one was rewarded by the emperor to Wei Wuxie.
How dare the subordinates not be careful, as if carrying the ancestral tablet, they were carried into the house and carefully arranged, and after seeing that they sat down on the tea, they tied their hands and silently retreated.
Wei Wuxian raised his eyes as he scraped the tea foam, "How's it going outside?" ”
Kong Zhen's face was gloomy again, frowning and getting down to business, "The sixth prince bites the Flying Fish Guard and refuses to let go, if he continues like this, none of the Flying Fish Guards will be able to escape." ”
Wei Wuxian was noncommittal, put down the teacup and asked, "How is Wang Bao there?" ”
A mockery appeared in Kong Zhen's eyes, "My father-in-law is fine." These days, he either can't take half a step in the inner yamen, or he is confessing his innocence in front of the emperor. ”
Wang Bao is the superintendent of the Flying Fish Guard, because the Flying Fish Guard is directly under the emperor, the Yamen is set up in the Qianqing Gate, the people of the court and the Chinese are called the Inner Yamen, Wang Bao hides in the Inner Yamen and does not come out, except for the emperor, no one really dares to break into the Inner Yamen.
Kong Zhen's father-in-law is also called Wang Bao, but except for the emperor, Wang Bao and the father and son of the Wei family, no one else knows.
If it weren't for the maintenance of this layer of righteous relatives, Rao is Wang Bao valued Wei Wuxie's favor and power, and only after Wei Wuxie's help did he sit on the position of overseer, he would not be willing to join forces with Wei Wuxian for his own interests, and take Feiyuwei as Wei Wuxie's arm to control the government and the opposition.
It was originally a close relationship of mutual benefit, but now Wang Bao is difficult to say, but Kong Zhen has no worries.
Wei Wuxian didn't seem to be worried that Wang Bao would implicate him, so he picked up the teacup to moisten his throat, shook his head and smiled: "If you can't bring down Wang Bao in one go, no matter how many people the six princes catch and cut off many heads, it will be in vain." ”
He had a gossipy tone, and Wei Mingzhong also looked like he didn't care about himself, and nodded: "What if the six princes come prepared?" Not to mention that the emperor is clear about Feiyuwei's style, just say that the depth of his father's involvement, the emperor also knows it in his heart. As long as the emperor believes in his father and is willing to protect Wang Bao, Feiyuwei will not be able to fall. ”
He served as the left attendant in the ministry, and Wei Mingcheng served as the right attendant in the household department, and it is not uncommon for father and son to be officials in the same dynasty, but it is not common for father and son to be in the court and both hold high-ranking official positions.
And Wei Mingyi served in the forbidden army in the palace, not only did he not have to avoid suspicion when something happened, but he was appointed by the emperor to be responsible for guarding the inner yamen and assisting in the inspection of documents.
It can be seen that the Wei family is a holy favor.
Wei Mingzhong had the confidence to say this, but Wei Mingcheng had another opinion, "I don't think so." This thing broke out so suddenly, it caught people off guard, and it was so fast and ruthless, but it was all trivial and dirty, and when it exploded, it was too late to remedy it. ”
In his view, the persecution of those people was insignificant, and the real big deal was in the court.
There are not a few DPRK and Chinese officials who have been raided by Feiyuwei, made trouble, and been charged with crimes.
"There is always a way for the official to do something, and this people sue the official...... is still holding on to money and property, this sword is on the sidelines, and it is really defensible and unattackable. Wei Mingcheng is not as calm as Wei Mingzhong, unlike Wei Mingyi, who is hearty, his words and deeds reveal a unique manner, and he said without hesitation: "Even if the emperor is not short of money and is willing to connive at Feiyuwei to accumulate wealth, it is also a matter for the big guy to see through it and not say it."
It's good now, once the matter is laid out on the bright side, even the emperor's ninety-five honor, and it is still difficult to ride a tiger. Those inner house scandals spread the fastest and widest, and the so-called defense of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan, even if the emperor originally just wanted to be a show, now he is afraid that fake anger has become real anger. If the Flying Fish Guard doesn't fall, it has to cut off a layer of flesh. ”
Shaking his legs and laughing as he spoke, he leaned towards Wei Wuxian with a cynical ruffian look, "I sent someone to investigate secretly?" Look at which strategist under the name of the six princes came up with a bad idea, this trick is a loss, but it is practical and easy to use. If you hadn't seen that the wind was not in the right direction, and immediately gave the four princes a move, so that the four princes could intervene in this matter, where would you be able to be idle in vain, and we would still be passive at this time. Poor Wang Bao was trapped in the tank alone. ”
But it turned out that the household official who almost cried and fainted in front of the emperor was Wei Mingcheng's subordinate.
Wei Wuxian glanced at his second son and laughed, "Ants shaking the tree may not be impossible. Whether there is really such a strategist, and whether it is worth your effort to investigate, depends on whether the other party can bring down the big tree of Wang Bao. ”
There is a lot of meaning in this statement.
Wei Mingzhong and Wei Mingcheng glanced at each other, each surprised, "Father wants to take advantage of the situation, use the knife of the sixth prince to pull down Wang Bao, reorganize the Flying Fish Guard and completely take it for his own use?" ”
Wei Wuxian smoothed his beard and smiled without answering, "It doesn't matter how far the Sixth Prince can go, what I want to do. What matters is what the emperor wants. ”
After a pause, he sighed and continued: "Wait for the other party to make a move, right now, don't think about it or do much." ”
It seems that the other party has a backhand.
Wei Mingzhong, Wei Mingcheng and Kong Zhen were silent for a while, and suddenly there was a roar in their ears, and the self-striking bell rang loudly, which frightened the three of them to tremble three times, and almost spilled the hot tea.
Wei Wuxie, who served the tea very steadily, said calmly: "...... Let's pinch the ring. ”
What kind of quirk does Liu Gan's old boy have, he listens to a reverberation every half an hour, but he is not scared into a stroke?
Wei Wuxian felt a little choked.
Wei Mingzhong and Wei Mingcheng decisively got up and retreated, and slipped away very unfilially, "Father asked Ah Zhen to give you a hand." The sons still have something to do in the yamen, so I won't accompany you to dismantle the freshly installed chiming bell. ”
Wei Wuxian was so angry that he blew his beard, caught Kong Zhen, who was slipping too slowly, and said while rolling up his sleeves: "Ah Zhen stays, I still have something to ask you." ”
