Chapter 7 six

Yin Ashu asked: "The situation in Chang'an? What's the situation in Chang'an?" Wei Zheng smiled: "The father-in-law's hands and eyes are open to the sky, haven't you heard that the Qin family's eyes are watching everywhere in Chang'an city." Mentioning the Qin Mansion, Yin Ashu's heart skipped a beat.A while ago, someone came to him and paid several thousand gold, and wanted him to help find a seat in Ji County. For the sake of the money, Yin Ashu naturally went to the palace to find his daughter a few more times. Concubine Yin De was in Li Yuan There was also a pillow breeze blowing there twice, but the matter was not completed in the end, because the affairs of Ji County were under the control of Li Shimin, King of Qin, and Li Yuan had just encountered bad luck with him because of begging for land for Zhang Jieyu's father. I can't bear to wipe my face for a while and open this mouth again.

Yin Ashu looked at Wei Zheng and said: "Since you know that the eyes of the Qin family are everywhere, why don't you ask the crown prince to come forward if you have something to do? But you want to come to me and let the people of the Qin palace hear it, but you have to give it to me." The master is causing trouble! Besides, I heard that you, Wei Zheng, are a well-known upright official who never accepts gifts from others, so where did you get the one million gold?" Wei Zheng replied: "I am not doing it for my own business. My son is here for His Royal Highness, and also for your father-in-law." Yin Ashu smiled: "I said Master Wei, your words are incomprehensible. I am an old man who lives scattered at home. Is there anything you need to take care of, Mr. Wei?"

Wei Zheng has heard about Yin Ahshu's money, he was originally a person who hated the corrupt people, but because there is a big thing to ask the other party, so he has no choice but to hold back the disgust in his heart. deal with.Wei Zheng cupped his hands: "Words like 'responsibility' can kill lower officials! However, it is true that some people want to harm the father-in-law. Have you ever heard that Zhang Jieyu paid for his father? The Emperor Qin refused to ask for land?" Yin Ashu stroked his beard and looked at Wei Zheng, guessing the meaning of Wei Zheng's words: "There are some rumors about this matter, and I have heard a few." He has meritorious service in the world, and has the military power in his hands. He has never put others in his eyes. He used to think about the relationship between father and son, and he could still hear a few words from the emperor. Now that the emperor is getting older and his power is getting stronger and stronger. Day by day, the emperor is no longer in his eyes. Today, you can refuse to give Zhang Jieyu's father tens of acres of land, but tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to guarantee that you will not be seen by the concubine Defei and the father of the country. "

Yin Ashu's complexion changed slightly, Wei Zheng saw it, and then tapped down: "The most worrying thing is—" Speaking of this, Wei Zheng looked around, with a mysterious look, and said in a low voice: " Right now, there are people in the government and the public who are spreading rumors, and they have long been unwilling to be the King of Qin." Yin Ashu glanced at Wei Zheng: "The King of Qin is not willing to be the King of Qin, this is not a rumor just now, it should be your master who is worried Yes, what does it have to do with me?" Wei Zheng looked at Yin Ashu: "Does the head of state really think that King Qin just wants to take the East Palace and replace it?" Yin Ashu's heart trembled: "Does he have other plans?" Wei Zheng said: " The head of the state should have heard about the murder of Emperor Yang's father in the previous dynasty. After Emperor Yang took control of the army and horses of the Sui Dynasty, he didn't have the patience to wait for Emperor Wen to die before succeeding to the throne." Yin Ashu hurriedly said: "You It means—" Wei Zheng said slowly: "Master, let me settle the accounts for you. The emperor is in good health, with dragon muscles and tiger bones. At least he can still rule the world for twenty years. With the concubine and empress Serving the emperor in the palace, you have been able to save more than 50,000 gold in pocket money every year in the past twenty years, right? If the rumors outside are true, then the next twenty years of your old age will be at least in vain. Throw away the income of one million gold!"

Yin Ashu: "Your Majesty Wei, you are too alarmist, right? Your Majesty was born as a soldier. Even if the King of Qin really has such an idea, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to move him." Wei Zheng: "Mr. Ah, do you really not understand or are you just pretending to be confused, the emperor is a leader of soldiers, but take a look, how many soldiers are there in the court that the emperor can mobilize?" Yin Ashu's face changed, Glancing at Wei Zheng, he pointed to a round stool in front of him and said, "Sit—" Wei Zheng understood that his words had already touched the father-in-law in front of him, so he walked over generously and sat down.

Yin Ashu's expression was no longer so arrogant: "Since you have pointed out this disease, do you know if there is any prescription to cure this disease?" Wei Zheng cupped his hands: "There is a ruthless prescription, which can get rid of this evil fire if you keep it. But—" Yin Ashu said anxiously: "But what? I'm a straightforward person, so don't hesitate and haw and haw. If you have something to say, hurry up and fart." He had already forgotten to put on airs of the head of the state, showing his true face as a scoundrel, and blurted out foul language.Wei Zheng knew that he was a rough man, so he didn't care about it, and moved closer to him and said, "Please go out and sing the 'bitter tricks', so that the emperor can give the world a convincing reason to take away the military power of the King of Qin." Then Wei Zheng stepped forward and whispered something to Yin Ashu.Yin Ashu's complexion changed, and he scolded: "Wei Zheng, who are you, you dare to use me like this? Have you forgotten who I am? I am the head of the country!"

Wei Zheng stood up: "Wei Zheng made this decision just for the sake of the father-in-law! If the father-in-law doesn't want to do this, don't blame me for not going to your father-in-law's mansion if he loses the one million gold in the future." Give it away." Yin Ashu seemed to see a mountain built of copper coins, and it suddenly collapsed, which made him really unwilling.He looked up at Wei Zheng, and asked, "Is this the idea of ​​the one million gold you wrote on the gift list?" Wei Zheng said solemnly, "Exactly." Yin Ashu: "Let me tell you, you are a small five-rank Xima, and you are a well-known person, how can you get a million gold." Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Based on the current momentum of the king I'm afraid that my prescription is worth more than one million gold!" Wei Zheng's words sounded like flattery to Concubine Yin De, but in fact they were teasing Yin Ashu, but this vulgar and illiterate ruler Couldn't hear it.Yin Ashu squinted at Wei Zheng, revealing his true nature as a rascal in the market, and said in a fair and honest way: "Don't talk too much, I am the master who suffers from this matter, and your master is the one who benefits!"

Wei Zheng smiled: "The country's father is right, the matter is about to be completed, the crown prince can get some money, but the country's father, you can get two times cheaper, one is that you can continue to do this country's father in a down-to-earth manner, maybe It's been more than twenty years, and on the other hand, he has given favor to the prince, don't forget, this prince is going to be the emperor after all, in the future he will definitely remember the kindness of the father-in-law."
