Chapter 132: Joining forces
Li Si is the prime minister of the dynasty, and Wang Juan is the imperial history, and the two of them have never had any intersection in the court, and there can be no connection.
However, because of the imperial examination system a few days ago, the two of them had to join forces once and find His Majesty together, hoping that His Majesty could take back his life.
Now Wang Juan is still a little worried, he was a little reckless at that time, if His Majesty thought that he and Li Si were in private contact, would he no longer trust him?
That matter has not been resolved, and now that Li Si has come to the Imperial History Mansion again, there is no need to think that Wang Juan also knows that it is because of Ran Fang's matter.
He thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Got it." ”
"You go and serve Li Si first, and I'll go after a while."
"Whoa." The butler finished and left.
Wang Juan put away the paper that was going to write the recital, and after carefully making sure that there were no mistakes, he stood up and tidied up the hem of his clothes and walked towards the front hall.
As soon as he walked into the front hall, he saw Li Si sitting on the couch calmly, with no anxiety on his face, and nothing seemed to affect him.
Seeing Wang Juan coming in, he only nodded slightly, indicating that he had said hello.
Wang Juan also nodded, and didn't feel that Li Si was disrespectful, so he sat directly on the couch opposite Li Si.
After sitting down, the two looked at each other and understood what each other meant.
However, Wang Juan still asked: "What is the prime minister coming to the house for today?" ”
Li Si smiled, now Wang Juan is still doing that.
He said bluntly: "Ran Fang's matter, presumably Wang Yushi has also received the news. ”
"This matter is quite strange, I don't know what the imperial history knows?"
"Before Your Majesty made the order, you must have also discussed it with the imperial history, right?"
Speaking of which, the relationship between Wang Juan and His Majesty is closer, if it is said that His Majesty may discuss this matter, it must be Wang Juan undoubtedly.
Moreover, the appointment of officials in Daqin is generally mentioned by the imperial historian, and directly appointed after His Majesty's consent.
However, Li Si knew that Wang Juan didn't know about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have made this trip.
Sure enough, after Li Si finished speaking, a slightly angry look flashed on Wang Juan's face.
It was only a moment later that he returned to normal, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and he looked at Li Si with some concern.
"Prime Minister, what do you mean by that?"
"The prime minister knows His Majesty best, and the prime minister must know about this matter."
Li Si smiled, and seemed to not pay attention to Wang Juan's teasing.
"Huh."
"In that case, I wonder what the imperial history thinks of this?"
Wang Juan was already a little resentful in his heart, but now that Li Si mentioned it, it means that he does not agree with this matter either.
In this way, he said bluntly: "The same as the prime minister." ”
"I heard that Your Majesty has been to Xianyang Prison twice, and presumably this commander was also mentioned by Ran Fang himself."
"And the silver seal and green ribbon, I'm afraid I'm going to catch up with you and me."
"And that Wei Liang is now a close confidant of His Majesty, and His Majesty asked this person to read the holy decree, just to let the ministers know Ran Fang's identity, there is no doubt about it."
Although Li Si didn't have any expression on his face, he was already dissatisfied in his heart.
Not only to Ran Fang, but also His Majesty's attitude towards Ran Fang.
There is also the silver seal and green ribbon that Wang Juan mentioned just now, this is a treatment that only the third prince has, but now he is given to a little-known boy, how can he bear it?
"That's true."
"But this pro-army Captain's Mansion, what does the imperial history know what it means?"
"Many officials in the DPRK and China are involved in this corruption case, if Your Majesty values Ran Fang, you can give him a position at will."
"But why do you have to be in Xianyang Prison and set up a pro-army governor's mansion, I am afraid that it has the intention of His Majesty."
"Is it possible...... Your Majesty has deviated from the morality of the hundred officials? ”
As he spoke, he paused.
Wang Juan shook his head calmly, although he didn't know Ran Fang, he knew Yingzheng.
After hesitating for a while, he said slowly, "I'm afraid it's going to ...... Supervisors, inspectors, hundreds, and officials. ”
"You and I know Ran Fang's ability, if he wants to enter the court as an official, I am afraid that His Majesty will be extremely willing, but if he chooses such a position, then His Majesty must have a deep meaning."
"Don't forget, this Xianyang Prison has always been a place for prisoners, and most of these people are people who have something to do with the imperial court, and these dying people, what they say is probably the most credible."
Before coming, these Li Si also thought that he was just trying to test Wang Juan's attitude.
Now seeing that Wang Juan had the same idea as himself, he nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to speak: "That's true." ”
"Presumably, His Majesty is also investigating this corruption case, even more than the Tingwei Mansion."
"There are too many people involved in this matter, even Na Feng Qujian has been grounded, and the matter is not over yet, and I don't know how His Majesty will deal with these people."
"At such a time, there is suddenly a pro-military governor's mansion, which must be to investigate and deal with this matter."
"Since this is the case, then this pro-army governor's mansion and the commander can't stay."
Listening to the meaning of Li Si's words, Wang Juan also understood that he wanted to get rid of Ran Fang, or that he could not be allowed to participate in the affairs of the court.
"What does the prime minister mean?"
Instead of answering his question, Lees glanced him up and down.
"Imperial History, are you going to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty?"
This time, Wang Juan did not answer.
He was about to enter the palace to find him just now, but now after listening to Li Si's analysis, he has dispelled this idea.
After all, it's useless to enter, Your Majesty has already made up his mind.
Li Si didn't intend to get his answer, he continued: "Since Ran Fang's matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better to let Ran Fang prove it with his ability. ”
"I heard that now that the supply in the army has decreased, Your Majesty has a headache about this matter, so it is better to let Ran Fang deal with this matter."
"To relieve Daqin's worries, His Majesty must also be happy to see it."
Wang Juan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, the matter of supply in the army has been pending for many days, which is indeed a little worrying.
Even so, there is still no countermeasure to this matter, which makes Ran Fang deal with it, I am afraid that only if Ran Fang takes out his share with the Gu family can he properly handle this matter.
After all, everyone in the court knows that the Gu family's refined salt business is making wedding dresses for Ran Fang.
"The prime minister has a good strategy."
"If Ran Fang responds to this matter, then the money in his hands will not be able to stay, and who will obey him without money?"
"If he shouldn't, then I'm afraid that this commander will be attacked by hundreds of officials, and then his position as a commander will have to be replaced."
Li Si nodded slightly, that's what he meant.
He values Ran Fang's talents, but if he can't use them for himself, then his value will have to be reevaluated.
If this matter is done, he can take the opportunity to win over Ran Fang.
At that time, no matter what Ran Fang's status is in the court, it will be a good thing for him.
It's just that he can't tell Wang Juan about this idea, according to Wang Juan's temperament, he just can't get used to Ran Fang's person "endangering the court".
He laughs and says, "That's true." ”
After speaking, Li Si's eyes looked at Wang Juan, and with just one look, the two reached a short-term cooperation.
