188 Stratagem

Xie Wan sat down with his eyebrows furrowed.

She had thought that Ji Zhenyuan would fabricate some incriminating evidence to attack Wei Bin, but what she never expected was to borrow it! Because even Qinghe doesn't know too much about this matter, and Wei Xie will be tight-lipped on both sides, so who will know about Jingshi? Although Xie Rong has a desire for power, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to shake this matter out, because it is not good for him to shout about this matter.

She was pondering here, when Qian Zhuang suddenly strode in: "Girl! Yin Gongzi and Mr. Pang are here! ”

Xie Wan stood up, and saw that Yin Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, had already led Pang Bai, Gongsun Liu and others to stride in.

The two hadn't seen each other since they met in the back alley last time, and Xie Wan couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw him suddenly.

Yin Yu walked in, glanced at her first, and then arched his hand at Xie Lang solemnly, and said, "Everyone must know about the affairs of the court. ”

This is also the first time Xie Lang has met him who has recovered his identity, and now he suddenly visited, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned. It took half a day to return the salute and said, "I just received the news." ”

At this point, Xie Wan didn't care about the two of them in private, knowing that he was rushing back from the dock, so he led them to sit down, and said generously: "What's going on now?" Ji Zhenyuan: What are their chances of success? "The decision on this matter is in the hands of the emperor, Yin Yu grew up in the palace after all, and he is the most qualified to estimate the emperor's attitude towards it.

Yin Yu said: "The emperor attaches great importance to the private morality of officials, if the evidence is conclusive. That Ji Zhenyuan, the success rate of their promotion of Zhang Xiping into the cabinet can be nine out of nine. Although Xie Rong was implicated at the same time, he was also a bitter master, and this matter may win sympathy points in front of the emperor.

"But as far as I know, this incident was not caused by Xie Rong himself, but by his fellow Dali Temple Shaoqing Gu Ruoming. Gu Ruoming was narrow-minded, and he couldn't see that Xie Rong was valued by Ji Zhenyuan, so he took advantage of being in Dali Temple to send someone to Qinghe to find out about the matter, and unexpectedly led Wei Bin. The witnesses he brought out were the servants who were sent out of the Xie Mansion after your separation. ”

Xie Wan heard this. I understood everything. It turned out that this was due to their infighting.

But I have to say that Gu Ruoming's move was really killing two birds with one stone, not only defeating Wei Bin, but also winning Ji Zhenyuan's appreciation. At the same time, he gave Xie Rong a heavy blow. After this incident. Xie Wei's reputation is all over, even if he can go to the cabinet to pay respects in the future, Xie Wei has become an indelible stain in his life.

But that's all for later. What she should do now is how to reverse the predicament in front of her.

She knew that Wei Bin had suffered a dumb loss, but Gu Ruoming had witness testimony on her side, and if she wanted to overwhelm the other party, she could only find a way to clear Wei Bin's grievances and truthfully state the facts to the emperor.

She can testify herself, but will the emperor believe her? And she, as Xie Rong's niece, demolished Xie Rong's platform in public like this, the emperor was not Wei Bin at the beginning, and this matter had no stake in him, so it was difficult to impress. So the result of this is likely to be to bear an inexplicable charge and be reprimanded.

And even if there are still Wang and Xie Qi living in Beijing at the moment, it is extremely difficult to move them.

Although the Wang family is stupid, she still knows what to do to benefit her, no matter what this matter is, as long as she stands on Wei Bin's side, don't say that the Huang family and Xie Wei, even Xie Rong will never tolerate her again. And although Xie Qi may defect, her words are not convincing, and even if she comes to the front of the emperor, the emperor may not believe it. What's more, Xie Hong and they all have to rely on Xie Rong now, and Xie Qi will not do this.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "It seems that right now, we can only start with Zhang Xiping's side first." ”

Saying that, she looked at Yin Yu, and Yin Yu said, "I just came here to discuss this matter." ”

Xie Lang hurriedly said: "How to start?" ”

Yin Yu said: "It's very simple, since Master Wei can be caught by them, and we don't have a good way to clear him for a while, then Zhang Xiping must have violated discipline after being in office for so many years." I asked people to check that Zhang Xiping had been greedy for a sum of 100,000 taels of silver when he was in the northwest, and this matter was suppressed by Ji Zhenyuan at that time. Now Ji Zhenyuan, although we can't sue him, we can stab Zhang Xiping's greed for ink to the emperor.

"The good thing about Lord Wei is that there is nothing else except this matter, and Zhang Xiping has been out for so many years, there must be a lot of bad deeds. If they don't give up, we can keep collecting raises. Ji Zhenyuan, in order not to make the leak bigger and bigger, they will definitely restrain themselves. ”

Xie Lang nodded in a deep voice, and said, "But even so, it may not necessarily defeat him, the most important thing for us is to help Lord Wei enter the pavilion." ”

"Not bad." Yin Yu stood up, "So we need to do both." On the night of the banquet at the Duzen Mansion, I found a mysterious person on the docks. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove his identity, but now Dali Temple has now investigated the case to the Ministry of Industry, whether this person is from the Ministry of Industry or not, we can borrow it for writing at the moment.

"We can let Lord Jin go to the Tao at this time, accuse Zhang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Zheng Duo, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, of colluding with the Cao Gang, and then ask them to bring Luo Qi for interrogation, so that not only can they borrow the hand of Dali Temple to interrogate Luo Qi, but also make Zhang Ge Lao stained with ashes at this time. It is impossible for Ji Zhenyuan not to turn around and protect Zhang Yang and Zheng Duo, as a result, they will be in chaos. ”

Xie Wan nodded, and then continued his words and said: "Then we'd better go to Gu Ruoming again, since Gu Ruoming can use this matter to suppress Xie Rong, he naturally wants to kick him away." And after he did this, he also knew that Xie Rong would take revenge in the future. In that case, we can work on him and take the opportunity to persuade him to defect.

"Of course, he won't listen to us so easily, but if we tell him that Wei Bin has entered the cabinet, then there will be no follow-up to Zhang Yang and Zheng Duo's notebook, and there will be no other leaks on Zhang Xiping's side, and he won't refuse in the future.

When he comes forward to persuade Ji Zhenyuan, Ji Zhenyuan will definitely give priority to protecting Zhang Yang and Zheng Duo in order to take the overall situation into account. And Zhang Xiping has been out for many years as his protΓ©gΓ©, and with him in the court, there must be a lot of cattiness in private, and Ji Zhenyuan will not want us to bite him to death. In this way, although there is an additional Wei Bin in the cabinet, Gu Ruoming helped Ji Zhenyuan keep his publicity, and indirectly preserved Ji Zhenyuan's own reputation, so he made another contribution in front of Ji Zhenyuan, which was harmless to him. ”

After hearing this, Xie Lang and Cheng Yuan immediately laughed, "This is a good idea!" Zhang Yang was involved, although it may not necessarily fall, but it is inevitable that the Zheng family will get into trouble because of this. Gu Ruoming persuaded Ji Zhenyuan to give up Zhang Xiping and keep Zheng Duo safe, and the Zheng family would also be grateful to him. ”

Pang Bai smiled and nodded: "Since Ji Zhenyuan cultivates Xie Rong as his successor, then this battle for entering the cabinet will definitely have some arrangements for Xie Rong's official position." Gu Ruoming naturally didn't want to do this. And if Lord Wei enters the cabinet, even if Xie Rong's position is to move, there will not be much change. This is another big benefit for Gu Ruoming. ”

Xie Lang high-fived and stood up: "In this case, then we should act quickly!" ”

Gongsun Liu took out a playbook from his cuff and said, "Don't worry, Childe, I have already prepared the playbook here, please take a look at it." ”

As he spoke, he handed the notebook to Xie Lang. Xie Lang looked at it carefully, nodded and handed it to Xie Wan.

After Xie Wan finished reading it, he returned it to Yin Yu's hand and said, "This matter can't be delayed, in my opinion, you should go to the Jin Mansion at this time." ”

Yin Yu nodded and looked at Xie Lang: "I'm here to invite you to go there." ”

If in the past, Yin Yu, who was a guard, called Xie Lang's words so directly, it would be disrespectful, but now the words "Feng" came out of his mouth, and he seemed extremely kind and easy-going, and the disdain that Xie Lang once kept in his heart disappeared at this time. He nodded suddenly and said, "I'll go back to the room to change my clothes and go with you!" ”

Because of the time, he is still wearing a homely robe on his body now.

After Xie Lang went out, Cheng Yuan also bowed his hand and said: "I will also ask someone to inquire about Gu Ruoming, so that this matter can be decided as soon as possible." - Qian Zhuang went to invite the young master to come over and accompany the guests. ”

Qi Song went to the yamen early in the morning, and now only Qi Ruzheng and Xie Lang are in the house.

After a room full of people here, Yin Yu turned around, looked at Xie Wan, and said, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Xie Wan only remembered that he hadn't eaten a grain of rice until now, and he was really hungry, but at this time, his old man was here, and it was inconvenient to leave before Qi Ruzheng arrived, right?

She shook her head. He sighed, "Why don't you go soon?" ”

Xie Wan was dumbfounded, isn't she accompanying guests......

Xie Lang accompanied Yin Yu and them out, and they went all day. Xie Wan waited until the next day and didn't see them come back, but he waited for Qi Song, who came back from the yamen in a hurry, it turned out that he had also heard about today's court discussion, although the emperor was not angry, but his favorability towards Wei Bin took a sharp turn for the worse, and even the protector did not ask for any good face.

Xie Lang Cheng Yuan returned to the house after dinner, and after going to the Jin Mansion, he went to the Wei Mansion with Jin Yong.

Jin Yong was originally the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he co-organized the Caoyun case, so it was logical for him to hand over this excerpt. No matter how suspicious Ji Zhenyuan is, they can't take anything wrong with him.

This time, the court was surprised by the scandal of the Wei Xie family, and said everything in private, of course, the specific situation was impossible to know in the house, but with the return of hundreds of officials after the next dynasty, this kind of thing still spread everywhere in Beijing at an alarming speed.
