Chapter 276: Lobbyist

Wu Jin walked in the bustle with a lot of pain, looking up at the forbidden palace piled up with gold and jade, the lights were continuous, the firelight overlapped in circles, and swayed with the wind, making the forbidden palace almost a heavenly fairy palace.

Pedestrians around, talking and laughing, and even some people said about today's interesting stories in the palace - after the arrival of the good news, His Majesty was overjoyed, and rewarded the delivery of the good news.

The hander was puzzled, just to see His Majesty put the chicken tongue incense in his mouth, and hurriedly stuffed it in, but chewed it hard, and the chew was not rotten, and in panic, he swallowed it raw and made a big joke.

Between the imperial power, the rich and the poor, there is not only a moat, but an boundless, endless, and powerless heaven and earth.

Wu Jin was in a joy, his limbs were numb, and he was worried.

Thirty-two thousand soldiers were killed in battle, Chong Jiaqing and Feng Fan were killed in battle, and countless soldiers were seriously wounded.

Mo Lingfeng was hit by a heavy arrow and has not yet escaped.

His steps were slow and heavy, and when he walked into the alley, he suddenly saw two people standing under the locust tree in front of the door, because there was no lantern under the porch, and the two stood in the shadow of the tree.

Wu Jin quickened his pace, walked to the locust tree, bowed his hand, and said, "I don't know that the King of Wei is coming, let you wait for a long time, it's cold, why don't you go in and rest?"

"I don't dare to enter," King Wei said with a smile, "I'm a non-Chinese, Master Wu is not here, I entered rashly, if he loses the edict in the future, it will inevitably be unclear."

He said it so bluntly, he had the meaning of being honest with Wu Jin, but Wu Jin was a thousand pounds: "A gentleman is frank, why not be afraid of people's words."

King Wei sighed: "My heart is open, but I can't stand the indecision of others, so I have to guard against it."

Wu Jin shook his head: "Everything in the world can be determined, and you can only settle your own mind."

He stepped forward and pushed the door, but the door was not bolted, and the courtyard was dark, only a dim butter lamp was lit in the upside-down room, and the old servant's ears and eyes were quick, and when he heard the door opening, he came out of the house with an oil lamp: "Uncle, a visitor? Ouch, uncle, what are you?"

"The horse was frightened, it fell, it was out of the way, it has been dealt with." Wu Jin waved his hand and instructed him to boil water and make tea and send it to the guest room.

King Wei already knew the news of Wu Jin's injury to the horse, so there was no light, he only saw Wu Jin's straight outline, no different from usual, only when Wu Jin's injury was light, how did he know that when the lights were on, he saw that Wu Jin's official robe was torn several times, and his back was broken into strips of cloth, and the white single clothes were covered with blood stains, and his hands were also wrapped in white muslin.

And the wrist of his left hand is very swollen.

Wu Jin saw King Wei staring at his hand, so he raised his left hand: "The reins are dislocated."

He said it lightly, but the King of Wei listened to it thrillingly-people are like water, and the calmer the surface, the more unfathomable it is.

Wu Jin turned sideways to invite King Wei in, King Wei stepped in with his legs raised, glanced at the house by the moonlight, and sighed: "Master Wu has the wind of returning, a spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alley, do not change his pleasure."

Wu Jin waved his hand: "Huiye's heart is not contrary to benevolence, I can't hope for it."

He walked outside a small room that had been separated from the main house, opened the door and invited King Wei in.

As soon as the door opened, the wind outside immediately penetrated into the house that had not been visited for a long time, raising the settled dust, disturbing the silence in the room.

Wu Jin stepped forward, took the fire and lit the oil lamp, picked up the handkerchief, and was about to wipe off the dust on the table and chair, when King Wei had already taken the first step to sit down: "Master Wu has an injury, rest, it's just a fine dust, if there is no light, who can see it?"

"Yes, please stay a while, I'll go change my clothes and come to meet the guests again."

Wu Jin went out to change clothes, and when he came back, the people had already served refreshments, and King Wei drank half a cup of hot tea, his cold hands and feet were slightly warm, and he sighed: "Although the refreshments in the house are coarse, they reassure me, people can rest assured, and everything can be assured."

He said, "You also sit, I'm here to bother, but I'm actually here to get something, something else

I want to intercede for one person."

Wu Jin took out the Taifu ruler folded in half: "Is this the thing?"

King Wei nodded: "When I entered the palace today, the palace gate had not yet been keyed, and the king of Jiyang County rushed into the palace to ask His Majesty for his guilt."

He paid attention to Wu Jin's expression, and then said: "The king of the county wept bitterly in front of His Majesty, saying that he was awakened by the previous halving of the rice, coupled with the fact that he had a lot of children, huge expenses, and hundreds of people in the house could not continue to have food and clothing, so he moved his heart, this time to measure the field, he made a small ruler himself, and measured the land for Yuntai County.

Wu Jin's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his head to drink tea, put down the teacup, and waited for King Wei to continue.

King Wei retracted his gaze: "Your Majesty reprimanded the king of the county, and said that it was a great victory, and he didn't want to be upset about this matter, but the county was guilty, and ordered the imperial history to find out."

After that, he took the broken ruler in his hand, didn't look at it, and handed it to the person behind him: "Your Majesty asked me to come and take the ruler and hand it over to the Yushitai, and I will deal with this matter today, and tomorrow morning, I will only talk about war."

Wu Jin nodded, "I understand."

The emperor asked King Wei to take away the Taifu ruler at this time, but he didn't want Wu Jin to mention this matter again, and all the faults were put on Li Xiancheng alone.

He did not allow anyone to ruin this celebration at this time, let alone increase the world's criticism of the heavenly family because of the uselessness and greed of the king of Jiyang County.

King Wei couldn't see the disappointment, hesitation, and anger he wanted on Wu Jin's face, as if he already knew how the king of Jiyang would move, and he also knew how the emperor would deal with it.

The heavenly family, as long as it does not rebel, is always one.

And when the king of Wei came, he also wanted to tell him this meaning - to be the emperor's sword and the people's shield, in exchange for the end was not to increase the official and enter the knighthood, but to abandon it in the city.

Wu Jin said, "The prince has one more matter, let's talk about it together."

King Wei smiled: "This matter is also related to the King of Jiyang County, although you did not mention the reason for the surprise to others, but I also know that it must be the King of Jiyang County who acted impulsively, I want to ask you for a favor on his behalf, please raise your noble hand and spare him."

Wu Jin smiled: "I am not a criminal officer of the Criminal Department, I am not a Dali Siqing, I am not the head of the Imperial History Table, and I am not a member of the Wude Division who His Majesty serves official affairs.

King Wei also smiled, but he was worried that Wu Jin hated the title of king of Jiyang County, and he hid it at this time, and his intentions would only be greater.

At this time, the prince, His Majesty, and him, all three of them have their own thoughts, although Wu Jin is not with the prince, but what he does is in the arms of His Majesty and the prince, but it is not good for him.
