Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 771 Not Enlightened (1 More)
The next day, Song Fang went to Xie's mansion when it was time to go to the yamen, but she didn't see Xie Zheng. Yang said that their yamen was handling a case recently, and the pressure was tight, and they came back quite late during this time.

Because of Song Wei's relationship, Xie Zheng gradually gained the appreciation of Emperor Guangxi. Last year, Xie Zheng was on the list of examiners for inspections in various prefectures. A group of eight people set off a month in advance. Unexpectedly, they met the governor of Qingzhou on the way In the case of being killed, Xie Zheng led several examiners to solve the case without delaying the inspection tour, and made great contributions. Emperor Guangxi saw that he had some talent in this area, so he promoted him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Product doctor.

The fifth grade is already the grade that can get the quotas of Guozijian and Hongwenguan. The lintel of Xie's family is a little higher. There are many wives, Song Fang left after sitting for a long time, and told her mother-in-law about it truthfully when she got home.

Mrs. Xu sighed, "It was originally Jiajia's impromptu idea. We are too impatient. The imperial examination has not yet been ranked. Take your time and make one for her in a hurry. It will be difficult in the future. I am so worried." It's also difficult."

The mother-in-law had already spoken, so Song Fang could only stop temporarily, and didn't mention the matter of showing Xu Jiaxiang.

……

There were only 200 candidates in the palace examination, except for the top ten which had to be decided by the crown prince, the marking officials had already determined the rankings of the other 26 candidates. It will come out on the [-]th of this month, and if you calculate the time, there is still half a month left.

On this day, Zhao Xi sent someone to send Song Wei to see him.

Song Wei entered the imperial study room, and stood aside after saluting.

Zhao Xi put down the vermilion pen in his hand for reviewing the memorial, and looked up at him, "I recently discovered that the hidden piles buried in the capital by the Yun family are far beyond my imagination. Tell me, what do they want to do?"

Song Wei originally thought that the crown prince was not sure about the top three rankings, and invited him to discuss, but he didn't want to, but it was because of Yun's hidden stake.

Yun's intelligence agency is called Tianyingwei, and Song Wei has heard that it is more secretive and perfect than the royal spy network.

In other words, if there is any movement somewhere, Yunhuai will definitely know before the prince.

After being silent for a while, Song Wei said: "The Yun family and the imperial court have always kept the water in the well. Although there are many hidden piles buried in the capital, they have never made a cabinet. It is still safe, but..."

After a pause, Song Wei went on to say: "If your Highness thinks they are an eyesore, you might as well use another method and take these people for your own use. Your Highness is about to ascend the throne, and it coincides with the war in northern Xinjiang. The royal family of Beiyan must have been paying close attention to our country's movements. , Now that His Highness is employing people, if you can get the help of Tianyingwei at this time, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. It can not only eliminate some of Beiyan's thoughts, but also strengthen the Chu country's spy network, which will serve multiple purposes."

Zhao Xi listened, and suddenly smiled softly.

Song Wei immediately stopped talking, "Your Highness thinks it's wrong?"

Of course it's not wrong.

Zhao Xi just suddenly understood why his father was willing to go to the workshop to find such a minister for him.

Song Wei's intelligence should not be underestimated, he just raised his head, and he guessed all his thoughts.

Such transparent and measured courtiers are rare.

"Go on." Zhao Xi said, "I want to hear how you plan to take these people for your own use."

Song Wei thought for a moment, and replied: "For the Yun family, we can only use a soft policy."

"Oh?"

"In the Yun family, no matter whether it is a hidden pile or a disciple, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of the death of their relatives. If His Highness can start from this aspect, as long as the Yun family is willing to surrender, the court will promise to protect every family member of them. Maybe Patriarch Yun I'll think it over carefully."

"This alone may not be enough to impress Yunhuai." Zhao Xi said slowly, "Since Yunhuai can make them follow and serve with all their hearts, he must have made arrangements for their relatives."

"That must be a promise of prosperity and wealth, and no worries about food and clothing." Song Wei continued: "And these need to spend a lot of money. No matter how rich the Yun family is, it will not be as rich as an enemy. It is incomparable with His Highness."

"What does Song Shaoqing mean?"

"The Yun family owns a lot of property, and paying taxes every year is a huge sum. If His Highness gives them this money, coupled with the protection of the court, Patriarch Yun may not think about it."

……

After lunch, Zhao Xi asked Father-in-Law Sanbao to go to Zhenxihou Mansion in person to connect Yunhuai to the East Palace.

Ordinarily speaking, Yun Huai, as a person in the world, has no fame, so he should kneel down to pay respects to the crown prince, but Zhao Xi directly waived it and asked someone to give him a seat.

Yun Huai calmly walked to the side and sat down on the bat patterned armchair.

"I invited Patriarch Yun here today because I have a deal to discuss with you." Zhao Xi cut to the chase.

Yun Huai cupped his hands, "Your Highness, it's okay to say."

As a monarch, Zhao Xi naturally couldn't directly reveal his thoughts, "There are so many hidden disciples in the Yun family, so the annual expenses are quite a lot, right?"

Yun Huai said slowly: "The Yun family owns a few properties, and it's just barely enough to make ends meet."

He was not too modest in his words. The Yun family needed to spend huge sums of money to train elite disciples and the Sky Eagle Guards who were in charge of the intelligence network. In addition, they had to be responsible for the families of these disciples, which was a considerable expense. In order not to cross the border and make the court suspicious, the property under his name is very ordinary, and the annual expenditure plus tax payment does not have a lot of savings.

"If I decide to exempt all property taxes under Yun's name, what does Patriarch Yun think?"

Yunhuai is very wise, the prince had already guessed what he would say next as soon as he started.

In other words, as early as when he first came to Beijing to pick up Xue Yinhuan, and the crown prince asked him if he would like to find an official position in the court, he had expected such a day.

The crown prince wanted to take the Yun family for his use.

Yun Huai didn't have many contacts with Zhao Xi, but based on the information from the underworld, he already knew enough about the young prince who was about to ascend the throne.

There is a fierceness in the young prince's bones, but he has not let it out for the time being. If he takes time to rule the world, he will be more chilling than the suspicious Emperor Guangxi.

Since the crown prince has decided to subdue the Yun family, the consequence of Yun's rebellion with him can only be a loss for both sides.

Yun Huai didn't agree, nor did he say no, he just asked Zhao Xi, "I don't know what kind of existence His Highness intends to train the Tianying Guard into?"

The Sky Eagle Guard of the Yun family hides so deeply that apart from the Patriarch himself, no other inner disciples or even direct disciples have any way of knowing the exact location of casting the net.

Zhao Xi already knew that Yunhuai was an extremely smart person, and talking to this kind of person would save a lot of tongue, "Beiyan has Chilong Guard, it is said that it is a top-level hidden guard that will only appear when the country is destroyed. However, in order to deal with you this time, they showed up ahead of time and killed the two leading masters. On the contrary, it made me think that the Chilong Guard is nothing more than that. The Sky Eagle Guard hides deeper than them, enough to become the top secret of the Chu Kingdom. Wei, if you submit to the imperial court, all the huge sums of money spent on cultivating them will be borne by the treasury in the future, and the property tax under the Yun family name will still be exempted. As for you, you are still the head of the Yun family, and you can enjoy yourself in the rivers and lakes, within the scope of Chu law , I will not interfere with any of your freedom."

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let the Yun family hand over the carefully cultivated Tianyingwei to the court.

Yun Huai pondered for a moment, "I want to know what your Highness's next plan is."

Zhao Xi didn't shy away from him, "Let the Sky Eagle Guard sneak into Beiyan, and I want all the information about Beiyan's imperial capital."

Although Zhao Xi had buried some hidden stakes there before, they were too cautious in doing things, and on the contrary, they were a little constrained, and it was difficult to get first-hand information.

In addition, most of the hidden stakes were pulled out by the Imperial Concubine Beiyan, and now the remaining ones are more cautious, and it is difficult to pass on information.

"Sounds like a very good condition. I'm white, so I don't seem to have a choice." Yun Huai smiled teasingly.

"Patriarch Yun can definitely consider it." Zhao Xi said, "I don't force it."

"It's fine if I hand over the Skyhawk Guard, but I have to add a condition."

"Tell me." Zhao Xi motioned him.

"Give me an idle job."

Zhao Xi was taken aback.

He remembered that when Yun Huai first came to the capital a few years ago, he tried to win him over and invited him to join the court. At that time, Yun Huai directly refused, why did he suddenly take the initiative to propose to join the court today?

This is incredible!
"Master Yun, are you sure you're not joking?"

Yun Huai's tone was indifferent, and he couldn't see any flaws, "There are people who can't be subdued, and they want to hang up a job and stay in the capital."

Zhao Xi almost blurted out and asked him who he couldn't subdue.

However, he swallowed the words back to his lips.

It was more difficult to think about causing Yunhuai such a headache.

Thinking that Yunhuai agreed to give up Tianyingwei so readily and was willing to take up his post, Zhao Xi said, "If there is anything I can help with, Patriarch Yun just ask."

Yun Huai didn't know what to think of, and a trace of helplessness clung to his lips, "That person is not enlightened, His Highness can't help."
