Chapter 4 three

Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean that this time, father, the old man actually doesn't want King Qin to be so handsome?" Wei Zheng nodded, pointed to his head and said, "The emperor is old, but here He's not old, he has experienced so many things in his life, why doesn't he understand? Don't forget, Emperor Yang killed Emperor Wen and ascended to the throne! A few years ago, the country was first established, and the remaining lines of the former Sui Dynasty were not exhausted. At the same time, the emperor had no choice but to use the force of the King of Qin to conquer the east and west, and now that there are fewer and fewer forces in the country that are enemies of Tang, the Qin government with its heavy army should become the world's biggest trouble!" Wang Gui also said Said aside: "Xuan Cheng is right, the emperor seems to be more and more dissatisfied with King Qin recently." Then he lowered his voice: "A while ago, Zhang Jieyu's father fell in love with dozens of hectares in Wugong County. Zhang Jieyu begged the emperor for the land, because matters on the ground of martial arts were under the management of the Shandong Daoxingtai, and this Shandong Daoxingtai was under the management of the King of Qin, so the Emperor personally issued an order to send it to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin immediately Someone sent back the handbook, saying that the dozens of hectares of land had been rewarded to Li Shentong who had made great contributions in Luoyang."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "I know about this, but the emperor doesn't seem to care about it, and afterwards he praised him in front of everyone that King Qin rewards and punishes clearly." Wang Gui glanced at Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, you only know about him One, I don’t know the other! The emperor praised Qin King in front of everyone, but afterwards, he said something else to his servant Pei.” Li Jiancheng asked with concern: “What did he say to Pei Ji? ?” Wang Gui lowered his voice: “Your majesty said that the King of Qin has been in command of the army for a long time, and he is used to arbitrariness. He is no longer the obedient son he used to be. No one listens to the imperial edict, but what the king of Qin says, the officials in the prefecture and county will immediately implement it as a golden rule."

"Really? Is your news reliable?" Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows again.Wang Gui replied: "Early in the morning, I went to Shangshu Province to do business. Master Pei told me personally. After hearing what I said, I hurried back to tell His Highness, but I couldn't find you. I found out that the prince You and His Royal Highness King Qi went out of the city to hunt at dawn, and I have been waiting for His Highness in the study. Who would have thought that after you returned to the mansion, you changed your clothes and hurried into the palace to discuss matters. Such an important matter did not happen. It's time to report to you."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wang Gui: "This Pei Ji is so sophisticated, he has always been cautious in doing things, and he will not easily say a word that offends others. How could he tell you such an important thing?" Without waiting for Wang Gui to speak, Wei Zheng interjected from the side: "Your Highness, don't you think you can figure it out? It's not Pei Ji who wants to say this, it's the emperor! Mr. Pei is just regarded by the emperor as a mouth to spread the word, and Pei Ji said this The words were not for Mr. Wang, he just regarded Mr. Wang as an ear, and listened to the words for His Royal Highness! The emperor did this before the court decided to send the commander of the rescue army to Hebei, which proved that the minister Based on his judgment, the old man is becoming more and more suspicious of the Qin family."

Li Jiancheng stood up abruptly, flicked his sleeves, and knocked down the carved jade water glass on the table. The water in it immediately flowed out, and Wang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to clean it up.Li Jiancheng didn't care about these things, fixed his eyes on Wei Zheng and asked: "Then why didn't the father and the old man say this to me?" Wei Zheng replied: "The power of the King of Qin these years is like the grass on the Leyou Plain in summer. The longer it grows, the more prosperous it is, the emperor doesn't know which pair of eyes around him are open for Qin Fu, he can't be careless!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden "bang" from the side. Li Jiancheng looked back and saw that the water glass fell from the table and fell on the floor. Wang Hao, who was clearing the table, stopped and looked at it in panic With Li Jiancheng.Li Jiancheng glanced at Wang Jun, and reprimanded: "You have been in the East Palace for so long, why are you still so careless!" Wang Jun hurriedly lowered his head: "Damn it--" Li Jiancheng showed displeasure: "Go down, wait for us here After discussing the matter, let someone clean it up." Wang Yan bowed and stepped back obediently.

Here, Wang Gui said with a look of panic: "There was an east wind to borrow, but because I didn't bring the words, His Highness missed this east wind and lost a good opportunity. It's all my fault." Li Jiancheng put on a face Dadu said tolerantly: "It's not your fault. If you want to blame it, you can only blame me. I'm used to being a idle prince with no authority and doing nothing. At this time, I still have time to go hunting. Sigh, but it's really a pity. If you miss a chance, you won’t regret it if you lose the pawn!" Wei Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face, and after a long time, he raised his head to look at Li Jiancheng: "I have a way, maybe I can help His Highness get back the situation." When Wei Zheng said this, Li Jiancheng and Wang Gui's expressions were very different. After a change, they looked at Wei Zheng together...

A carriage stopped at the gate of a brand-new mansion in the east of the city, and a man who looked like a scholar who was less than thirty years old rode a big green mule and followed behind the carriage.The scholar looked up at the plaque on the gate of the house, and there were two strong characters written in official script: "Yin's Mansion". The scholar lifted his legs and got off the mule's back, and shouted into the car, "My lord, we're here." The curtain of the car was lifted, and Wei Zheng, who was wearing a green cloth robe, got out of the car. He glanced at the mansion in front of him, and his eyes were also attracted by the plaque on the gate.Wei Zheng said: "Think about it, look at the words on this plaque, how come it seems to be the handwriting of Feng Lun and Feng Deyi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials." The man who looked like a scholar nodded: "Yes, it is the words of Lord Feng. "He is Wei Zheng's staff member. His surname is Bian and his name is Siqu. He used to be a small official in Shandong for several years.People who have been small officials in prefectures and counties, even if they have been soaked in officialdom, most of them can see six ways and pay attention to everything, not to mention that this Bian Sheng has been studying since he was a child. Calligraphy became famous and spread widely, so he could recognize it at a glance.

Wei Zheng looked at the words, and said strangely: "Since Feng Deyi inscribed the words for someone, why didn't he leave a signature? Could it be that he forgot? This letter is really careless." Bian Si smiled and looked at it. Wei Zheng: "My lord, don't you really understand it?" Wei Zheng replied: "Yes, I didn't understand it." Bian Si went and said, "It's not because Mr. Feng didn't sign the payment, but because he was too careless. Because he is too careful." Wei Zheng asked in amazement: "How do you say that?" Bian Si went to whisper: "Although this Yin Guozhang is a white man, he should be arty, he likes to associate with famous people, and he is easy to search for. Everyone writes. It must be that after the completion of this new house, he asked Lord Feng to work under him. Lord Feng is the leader of the noble family in Shandong. Dare to accept it, so I had to use this method, inscribing the characters, but not signing the signature, so as not to be laughed at by scholars, anyway, the father-in-law of the country can't understand." Wei Zheng stroked his beard: "Well, you see, people are really penetrating. Then tell me, can I do what I asked him to do today?"
