Chapter 261: Afternoon Chat
Su Jiudong's concerns Wen Yiheng had already thought of them, so he just smiled easily:
"If they want to find a relationship with Yincaoto, it is a ghost in their hearts. This is better, so that I can catch it accurately at Yincao, and if I catch it, I will directly confiscate all the family property, saving time and effort. ”
Su Jiudong's eyes lit up when he saw Wen Yiheng talking about silver, and he only felt cute and interesting, and then asked: "You are not afraid to be so tough, some people will say that you are too arbitrary and ruthless?" ”
Su Jiudong learned from Su Fenglan that Wen Yiheng had a reputation for being cold and domineering in the court. Although he often has a smile on his face, he is cold and iron-faced when he does things, and the things he decides will not be easily changed, so the courtiers also love and hate his style of doing things.
"Have I done less of arbitrary and ruthless work? Words are terrible, but I don't care about those insignificant voices. Even a few words can't stop me. ”
Wen Yiheng said in a deep voice: "There is such a drought in the city, and no one can ignore it. There is no reason why ordinary people are hungry, while officials and wealthy people can still drink and have fun. ”
Su Jiudong immediately showed a satisfied smile and sighed: "You are so desperate, you can be regarded as forcing those officials and rich people who refuse to donate a dime to a corner." ”
Wen Yiheng" wants this effect. If you don't push them to urge them, they don't know whose money, whose world, and who is in charge. ”
Wen Yiheng's argument only felt very familiar to Su Jiudong, who had traveled through modern times. Su Jiudong couldn't help but ask curiously: "I want to hear you say, whose silver, whose world, and who is in charge?" ”
Wen Yiheng blurted out: "Naturally, it is the silver of the people of Limin, the world of the people, and the people are in charge." ”
Wen Yiheng's argument was too advanced and advanced in ancient times as a feudal dynasty. I am afraid that no feudal king would agree with the statement that "the world is ruled by the people".
Regarding Wen Yiheng's remarks, Su Jiudong jokingly replied with four words: "High-sounding." ”
Wen Yiheng was not angry at such an evaluation, but stared at Su Jiudong's eyes tightly, and said seriously: "Is it high-sounding, although let the facts speak in the future." ”
"Regardless of the facts in the future, you can just talk to me about these words, and it's better to say less on weekdays. The walls have ears, so that no one who has a heart may hear them, and bring trouble upon themselves. Su Jiudong pointed to the sky, "Be more careful not to be known by that person." ”
"Don't worry, I'll only tell you this kind of heart-wrenching words." Wen Yiheng pulled Su Jiudong to the Luohan bed and lay down together, enjoying a rare rest time after dinner.
"You're all right today? I thought you'd go to Yincao and keep an eye on it. Su Jiudong turned his head to look at Wen Yiheng, who was looking at the sky, and couldn't help but wipe the slight blue and black under his eyes with his hand.
Although the war with Su Jinguo is now decided, there is no need to get up early and sleep every day during the war, but after Wen Yiheng returned to the west to surrender to the city, he still has a lot of things that cannot be done and a heart that cannot be done.
Wen Yiheng's sleep quality was also greatly reduced, and the blue and black under his eyes gradually emerged. Before Wen Yiheng went to Gaotai in the morning to call for donations, Su Jiudong also deliberately used eggs to apply dark circles to Wen Yiheng's eyes, which did play a role in diluting, but it still failed to cure it.
"Even if I wasn't there, Shi Yiqing would definitely take the initiative to go to Yincao's side to keep an eye on him, and he didn't even need to work for me to tell him." Wen Yiheng attaches great importance to a good official like Shi Yiqing who takes the initiative to ask for life for the people and do things for the people.
"So, you're free this afternoon? There is no need to approve any more excerpts? Then hurry up and get some sleep. Su Jiudong sat up and pulled a cloth pillow and stuffed it under Wen Yiheng's neck, so that he could free his hands and have a good rest.
Su Jiudong cherished Wen Yiheng's rare leisure, and he couldn't wait for him to fall asleep right now and sleep until dawn tomorrow.
"It's rare to be free today, so let's not be in a hurry to sleep first, let's have a chat." Wen Yiheng looked at Su Jiudong, and her eyes reflected her quiet smile at this time.
"Aren't we chatting now..."Su Jiudong smiled, turned his head and crashed into Wen Yiheng's gentle gaze.
At this time, Su Jiudong only sighed that Wen Yiheng's eyes were clear and pure, and he could actually see her face from his eyes, as if he could still see her long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly from breathing.
Wen Yiheng once again pulled Su Jiudong into his arms and lay down, stroked Su Jiudong's cold and soft long hair with one hand, and said softly: "During this time, you have worked hard to accompany you on the march together, and you have to act as a military doctor to treat me halfway, and even go to the battlefield." ”
Wen Yiheng couldn't help but hug Su Jiudong tightly, trying to use her warm body temperature to warm Su Jiudong's body, which was still cool in the summer and autumn, and also simmer her accustomed calm and cold heart.
The emotions between Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong are like flowing water, clean and cool. Even if there is no vigorous announcement to the world, several escapes from death and mutual help have established an unshakable position in each other's hearts.
"I heard General Guo describe to me before, when you led the soldiers to break through the gate of Baya City to rescue him, I was both happy and afraid. Fortunately, you have the power to protect yourself and know yourself; I am afraid that there will be an unthinkable event..."258
When facing Su Jiudong, Wen Yiheng's emotions are rarely so cautious about the uncertainty of the future.
From losing Su Jiudong by mistake to finding Su Jiudong, and finally winning the battle to subdue Su Jinguo, Wen Yiheng really had mixed feelings in his heart.
The emotions between Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong are like flowing water, clean and cool.
Even if there is no vigorous announcement to the world, several escapes from death and mutual help have established an unshakable position in each other's hearts.
Su Jiudong closed his eyes and enjoyed the "head massage" from Wen Yiheng, and said comfortably: "If there is no General Guo's Western Route Army, it will be difficult for you and Daddy to attack the city in the future, so I didn't have time to think about anything at that time." ”
"But now that things have passed, Su Jinguo has been taken over by my Dayin Dynasty, and there will be no more such emergencies in the future."
"I just hope that there will be no terrible emergencies in the future." As if it was an expectation for the future and a goal set for himself, Wen Yiheng's sentence was very sonorous and powerful.
"I've been on the battlefield a few times, and now I don't have anything to worry about. I just hope that the matter of the Western Surrender City will end as soon as possible, and we can also return to Beijing as soon as possible to see An'er and Ah Rong. ”
Su Jiudong's voice trembled slightly: "The longer I leave home, the more I miss An'er." When I was in the army, I only had the war in my mind, but now I have to be idle, I always imagine An'er's appearance in my mind, and sometimes I always feel that I can hear An'er calling me, urging me to go home quickly. ”
Speaking of not seeing Su Ting'an for a long time, imagining his cute and painful appearance, Su Jiudong's heart was so soft.
Since coming to the capital, although Su Jiudong and Su Ting'an's mother and son live under the same roof, they have gathered less and separated more because of many things. This time, Su Jiudong has been away from home for more than ten months in the army, and I don't know if Su Ting'an will grow again after going back.
Wen Yiheng also missed Su Ting'an very much in his heart, and said with a smile: "An'er has her father to take care of her, so you can rest assured." A few days ago, his father wrote to say that An'er had learned the Erya of the Book of Songs. Maybe when we return to Beijing, he will be able to memorize all 31 pieces of "Daya". ”
Su Jiudong was pleasantly surprised: "Really? An'er learned so fast..."
In the rare chatting between Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong, the hurried late summer afternoon was accompanied by the willow breeze, cool and refreshing.
However, leisure time is rare after all. The next day, Wen Yiheng was busy again, not only personally went to the Yincao Office to supervise Shi Yiqing, but also disguised himself to personally spy on several wealthy Rong Di households in the city, especially the most influential of them.
At night, Wen Yiheng and Shi Yiqing were silent together in the face of the neatly placed evidence on the desk and the collected evidence of correspondence between Yin Cigui and Yun Mulin, as well as the property registration list provided by Yin Cao.
Wen Yiheng personally calculated the accounts for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Yun Mulin's layout on the border over the years and the involvement with these Rong Di people to be so deep......
Shi Yiqing couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he looked at the final amount calculated, and asked Wen Yiheng worriedly: "Wen Xiang, do you think the amount involved in this is too large?" Regardless of the amount of wealthy households, the amount involved in the state capital alone is too small. ”
Shi Yiqing's question was also to test whether Wen Yiheng would have the idea of stopping and retreating because he was too deeply involved.
Wen Yiheng would not be so easily frightened, but he was surprised by Yun Mulin's rapidly expanding greed in recent years.
"There are a lot of large amounts that I have seen in this phase, but I am surprised by the amount of money that Yun Mulin is involved. As a prince, he is also a prince, and he secretly colluded with officials and businessmen to save such a huge amount of silver. If the saint knows, his position as crown prince is probably over. ”
"Look......" Shi Yiqing glanced tentatively at Wen Yiheng's expression, "Do you need to inform the Holy Lord of this?" ”
This is actually Shi Yiqing's selfishness. With just one of his protectors, he couldn't shake the big tree of Yun Mulin. Looking at the many courtiers of Emperor Tianduo's generation, it is estimated that only Shang Shuling, the prime minister Wen Yiheng, who can compete with the power of the crown prince, can do it.
Wen Yiheng waved his hand and said in a low voice: "This matter is very involved, and it should not be rushed, and it still needs to be considered in the long run." ”
Wen Yiheng knew that this was still not the best time to bring down Yun Mulin, so even if there was evidence that Yun Mulin had colluded with officials and businessmen in an attempt to short the silver economy of the Western Surrender City, he judged that it was not appropriate to take action for the time being in order to take into account the overall situation.
"And tomorrow is the time to open the altar and rain, and it is not appropriate to move those officials and rich people at this time, after all, we still have to dig silver from them."
Wen Yiheng has already thought about how to deal with those officials and rich people who are not pulling out a dime, and there really can't be an accident to disturb the situation at such a critical moment.
However, Wen Yiheng's cautious answer, in the eyes of Shi Yiqing, who was in a hurry, was afraid of Yun Mulin's performance. Shi Yiqing gave Wen Yiheng a big red cross in his heart, and retreated quietly.
