Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 6

The Leyou Garden in the north of Miyagi is the Royal Forest Garden, which raises all kinds of rare and exotic animals, which are used for hunting and sightseeing by princes and nobles every spring and autumn.At present, the spring hunting is over, and the emperor has issued an edict that idlers are not allowed to enter.

Of course the King of Wuling can't be regarded as an idler, and it's a trivial matter if he really wants to go hunting, just say a few words, fine some money, and he'll be fine.The key is that what this courtier participated in hunting was the crane that was going to be used by the emperor to celebrate his birthday.What does this mean? It is clear that the emperor wants to live forever.

Few emperors lived long in the Great Jin Dynasty. This is the most taboo place for emperors, so they frowned upon hearing this.

The courtier who participated in the memorial was Lang Le'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who belonged to Xie Shu, but he did not instruct Xie Shu to do so.

Xie Shu was a little displeased. She had already stipulated that all the people under her command would be involved in whatever they wanted to do. After finishing the memorial, they had to submit it to the prime minister for her to review. However, Le An suddenly joined Wei Yizhi today. Ben caught her off guard.

Regardless of whether his intentions are good or bad, this is extremely inappropriate behavior.

Wei Yizhi was not in a hurry, he even brushed his court clothes lightly, and asked, "Why do you think this king did it?"

Le An righteously said: "Did King Wuling go to Fuzhou Mountain the day before yesterday? Some people saw that you were equipped with bows and arrows in your chariot and horses, and you were wearing a complete set of Hu clothes. After you appeared there, there was news that the crane was shot and killed. It wasn't you who did it. ?”

When Wei Yizhi was young, he was fond of sightseeing, so he developed the habit of preparing clothes and weapons in his chariots and horses. Although he gradually lived in seclusion due to repeated spectators, this habit has not changed.

Below Fuzhou Mountain is Leyou Garden. He asked Xie Shu to meet him that day. He thought it would be clean and not easy to be found, but unexpectedly he was targeted by someone.Can the things in the carriage be seen casually?It's just that he didn't bring Fu Xuan by his side for a day, and someone went up and turned around, he was quite courageous.

He glanced at Xie Shu: "Even so, it's not enough to prove that the crane was hunted and killed by this king, right?"

Even the emperor nodded and said, "That's right, does Le Shangshu have someone to prove it?"

Le An said: "Your Majesty, there are palace people in Leyou Garden who saw King Wuling's personal guards going in and out of Linyuan that day."

Having said that, the emperor believed it a little, and asked Wei Yizhi, "King Wuling, what do you have to say?"

Wei Yizhi glanced at Xie Shu again, and said flatly, "I have nothing to say."

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

Xie Shu's expression became even worse. Since Wei Yizhi appeared in Fuzhou Mountain and was targeted by others, she was also indispensable.But Le An's target at this time is only Wei Yizhi, no matter how you look at it, it looks like she is playing tricks in secret.Obviously, Wei Yizhi has misunderstood.

I don't know who is going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.Is it the emperor?

Xie Shu glanced up and ruled out the answer. The emperor was more superstitious than anyone else, and he would not joke about his life span.

Le An is not a person who accepts when he sees a good offer. Seeing that the King of Wuling has almost acquiesced, he adds fuel and jealousy: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you know the name of the guard of the King of Wuling? His surname is Fu! Who doesn't know the Qin State thief who occupies the northern part of my Great Jin Dynasty?" The country's surname is Fu? This person's origin is unknown, but he entered our capital in a grandiose manner, which is really suspicious!"

As soon as these words were said, there was a gasp in the hall.

The emperor was a little flustered: "King Wuling, what's going on?"

Wei Yizhi's expression remained unchanged, and he saluted and said: "This matter is due to my negligence, and I failed to report the truth to Your Majesty early, but as Lord Le said, since my minister brought Fu Xuan into the capital in a grand manner, how could he?" Could it be a suspicious person?"

The emperor was still worried: "Then tell me, who is this Fu Xuan?"

Wei Yizhi seemed to be worried, with a troubled expression on his face, and he didn't speak for a while.

Xie Shu suddenly interjected: "The King of Wuling's refusal to say is obviously a deliberate concealment. Also, after all, Fu Xuan was a spy of Qin State, so it is indeed suspicious."

Wei Yizhi's heart moved, and he immediately answered: "Okay, then the minister will speak directly. Fu Xuan was originally an ordinary soldier under the account of the minister, and he was not called Fu Xuan at all. The minister accidentally discovered that he and Qin The royal family of the country is also a member of the Di tribe, so they asked him to infiltrate the Qin country as a spy under the pseudonym Fu Xuan. Back then, Weichen won successive battles against Qin, thanks to the help of the news he sent back."

Seeing his words, Le An reversed black and white, and said angrily: "Wuling King has no evidence and no evidence to argue, so how can the Qin royal family be played by any ordinary person? Besides, if this Fu Xuan really has Merit, why don't you report it to the court to discuss meritorious deeds, but your majesty asks, why are you still secretive?"

Wei Yizhi looked at him coldly: "Why, is it possible that the king wants to tell you the skills of how to be a spy in public? What is Fu Xuan's real identity, Mr. Xie probably already has the answer, why don't you ask him? "

Of course Le An would not ask Xie Shu, and these words had convinced the emperor that Fu Xuan was innocent.

Xie Shu continued to pretend to be an insider, trying to cover up the truth, and said lightly: "Anyway, I agree with Master Le's words. Since Fu Xuan really has meritorious service, why not report it to the court to reward him? Asking for a reward."

As soon as the emperor heard her speak, he became angry: "How can everyone in the world think about fame and fortune!"

"Ah, so that's the case." Xie Shu always gave the emperor face, and immediately accepted the lesson: "It turns out that Fu Xuan is so high-spirited and upright, I must respect him."

The emperor snorted softly, then looked at Le An: "Is there anything else you want to participate in?"

"This..." The development of the matter made Le An very depressed, and he could only cling to the previous question: "Your Majesty, the matter of King Wuling hunting and killing the crane has to be dealt with."

"..." The emperor had no choice but to let it go even if he wanted to.

"That's right!" Xie Shu chimed in, and she cast a sideways glance at Wei Yizhi, as if she was so proud that she forgot to show herself, so she said something that left everyone stunned.

"The king of Wuling's move is very disrespectful. Although the meat of the crane is delicious and memorable, you can't really hunt it. Your Majesty should punish it severely to make others like you."

"!!!" Baiguan was terrified.

Why does the prime minister know that crane meat is delicious?Also endless aftertaste ah!No, he is obviously a posture that has been eaten before!

The emperor stretched out his hand tremblingly with anger, pointing at her for a long time but couldn't say a word, he was really about to vomit blood.

Needless to say?The crane definitely died in the hands of the prime minister, and he even blamed it on the King of Wuling. Later, he will let his subordinates take a copy of the King of Wuling.

Damn, you want him to die, but you actually ate his crane!
The emperor said angrily: "The word in the name of King Wuling is clearly a disciple of the Heavenly Master. How could he kill the crane? I see that the crane was boiled and eaten by some lawless man!"

People in the Jin Dynasty who took the word "Zhi" at the end of their names generally believed in the way of heavenly masters.We don't know whether Wei Yizhi believed it or not, but his parents believed it, probably because of the influence of their cousin Wang's family, who were fanatical followers of the Tao of Heavenly Masters.And the crane is a Taoist fairy bird, and killing a crane is a Taoist taboo.

Xie Shu very cooperatively made a look of panic, expressing that he was shocked and lost his words, and then returned to calmness, watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, expressing that he didn't know anything.

Although the emperor was angry, he couldn't do anything to her. After a few words of sarcasm, he angrily announced his retreat, and walked straight to Shou'an Palace with his sleeves, to tell the queen mother about the prime minister's asshole.

The historian is also very busy, so he has to go back and write down a note: The Prime Minister Xie Shu was born in a humble background and behaved vulgarly, but he actually did the act of burning zithers and boiling cranes. It was so shocking! ! !

Le An's heart was full of ups and downs, and the prime minister's words concealed secrets, and it seemed that he was supporting the King of Wuling, but weren't these two people facing each other?

He went to look at Xie Shu quietly, not wanting to bump into her eyes when he raised his head. Those eyes were as dark as a deep pool and as cold as a cold spring, which immediately caused a layer of cold sweat to break out on his back.

After the court, Xie Shu was unhappy all the way, so that the little maids passing by on the palace road did not dare to show affection to her as usual.

The officials all thought that she was depressed because the emperor found out about her scandalous things, and they all looked at her with strange eyes, but they didn't dare to show it, so they could only leave early and stay away from her.

At Haishi that night, two people wearing stars and wearing moons came quickly from Qingxi in the east of the city on horseback. After turning into Wuyi Lane, they stopped at the side door of the prime minister's mansion, got off their horses and knocked on the door.

A young man came to answer the door, but he saw two handsome men, the first one was particularly eye-catching, wearing a cloak, and took out a token from his sleeve.

How can the servant of the prime minister's mansion be so blind that he hastily saluted: "See..."

"Forget it, take me to meet your prime minister."

"Yes."

Xie Shu was at his desk doing investigations, and all the people related to Le'an followed the vines one by one, but her position was limited, and what she could find was limited. Once she had a clue, she had to leave it to other people to do it.

The door was gently pushed open, Mubai came in and whispered: "My lord, King Wuling is here."

"Go, go, son, I'm busy, don't make jokes." Xie Shu didn't even raise his head.

A shadow was cast in front of his eyes, Xie Shu could only stop writing, looked up, and was stunned: "It's actually true."

Wei Yizhi smiled slightly: "Excuse me for thanking you."

"Where is it, Mubai, watch the seat."

Mubai put a mat in front of the desk, then closed the door with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude and went out.

Wei Yizhi knelt down opposite her, and said to the people behind him: "Fu Xuan, don't come to thank me yet."

Fu Xuan was dressed in hard attire, serious about his words and smiles, he took a step forward without saying a word, lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground, and made a full-fledged salute: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for saving your life."

Xie Shu was surprised: "Hey, where did you say that?"

Fu Xuan nodded authentically: "I am indeed from the royal family of the Qin State. My father, Fu Yang, was originally the Minister of the State of Qin and the Shepherd of Bingzhou. He was the second son of the Emperor of Qin. He followed the younger brother of the Emperor of Qin, Zhao Gongfu, to rebel and was discovered by the Prime Minister An Heng. Beheaded, bloodbathed the family, I was the only one who escaped successfully, mixed into the Jin army camp, Meng County Wang Daen, changed my name to Xuan, and took him in. Just because I insisted on refusing to change my surname at the beginning, I almost brought disaster to the county king. The prime minister rescued each other with righteousness, and the kindness is reborn, which will never be forgotten." After speaking, he bowed three times.

After hearing this, Xie Shu was quite emotional: "So that's it... Forget it, from now on, you should forget your previous identity and just remember that you are my Dajin sergeant, and you will be fine."

Wei Yizhi said from the side: "There is also the matter of hunting cranes. This time, this king really owes Xiang Xie a big favor."

Xie Shu smiled very kindly: "It's just a little effort, the King of Wuling is also wronged and wronged, how can he just sit idly by and ignore the truth?"

"But it ruined Xie Xiangqing's reputation, alas..." Killing a crane is too shameful, only vulgar people would do it, so Wei Yizhi would say that.He seemed to blame himself extremely, and then said seriously: "Mr. Xie understands the righteousness deeply. If you don't give up, this king will treat him like a brother from now on."

Xie Shu originally wanted to help him so that someone with a heart would not succeed, but he didn't expect to gain such a reward, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "It's the King of Wuling who doesn't dislike him."

Wei Yizhi said: "You are not in front of people at this time, so please don't be polite, you can call me Zhongqing directly."

"That's very good, Zhongqing can also call me Xiaozi Ruyi in private."

Wei Yizhi smiled and said: "Gaozu of the Han Dynasty called Ruyi if he had a favorite. It seems that the rumors from the outside world are not reliable. You are obviously a favorite in Xie's family."

Xie Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, as a tacit consent, but in fact, this nickname was given by her mother, and has nothing to do with Xie's family.

"By the way, the trip to Kuaiji..." Wei Yizhi dragged the end a little bit, with a smile in his eyes: "I agree now, but it still counts?"

With the addition of the Wei family, the major families who had been on the sidelines no longer hesitated, so the trip to Kuaiji was decided so happily.

The emperor thought he was not a stingy person, and would never interfere with Wei Yizhi's decision. He just asked his beloved Ninth Prince to test it a little, to see what he meant.

Wei Yizhi said: "I would like to be His Majesty's eyes."

The Ninth Prince ran back to report to his father: "The King of Wuling is indeed loyal, and he said that he will keep an eye on those noble families for you!"

Dragon Heart Delighted.

Afterwards, Fu Xuan quietly asked Wei Yizhi: "Is the county king really planning to monitor those aristocratic families for the emperor?"

Wei Yi's face was blank: "When did this king say that?"

"Didn't you say that you would like to be His Majesty's eyes?"

"Oh, this king is just saying to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kuaiji for His Majesty."

Fu Xuan was amazed, the Chinese language is indeed extensive and profound, and he still has a lot to learn...

Xie Shu had no time to intervene during the Kuaiji trip, she handed over the matter to Xie Ran, and she is currently concentrating on dealing with Le'an.

The Le family is not very rich, and it is easy to dig out the roots, but she didn't intend to scare the snakes, she was very gentle, and called Le An: "It turns out that you are quite suitable for supervision, don't worry about the officials, just do it." Censor Zhongcheng."

Le An was surprised: "Why did the prime minister say that?"

"Hey, isn't it the Censor Zhongcheng's responsibility to participate in the book of King Wuling? I think you have done a good job. Don't be modest, take the post quickly."

Then Yushi Zhongcheng was transferred to manage the official department, and Le An obediently went to Yushitai.But Xie Shu's world has long been dominated by Yushitai, and he has followed up there like a fortified wall, unable to do anything except obediently be on duty.

This arrangement is too inhumane!

No one came to say good things to Le An, and no one asked about this personnel transfer. Even the people in Le Family accepted it calmly.

It seems that the other party is very cautious, and Xie Shu can only temporarily suppress the matter.

At this time Xie Ran came over and reported that everything was ready and he could go to Kuaiji.

He was very careful. Not only did he clear up the travel date and number of people, but he also sent a letter to Wang Jingzhi, the governor of Kuaiji County and the right general, in the name of the prime minister.

Everything is ready, just waiting to go.

Sitting in the study, Xie Shu carefully checked the arrangement items sent by Xie Ran, and suddenly asked: "Most of the Wang family gathers in Kuaiji, what do you think about getting sick this time?"

Xie Ran knelt and sat opposite her, with his back straight: "At the beginning, it was called 'the king and the horse share the world'. The power of the Wang family was once so great that it was comparable to the royal family, but now it is the Xie family. The Wang family will not give in willingly. Yes, the prime minister needs to be cautious in everything."

Xie Shu thought of something, raised his head and asked, "Then what do you think of the Wei family?"

"The Wei family was also brilliant in the past, but the main reason for their downfall was the lack of people. At the beginning of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the ancestors of the Wei family were almost killed by design. After that, the number of people was not as good as that of the Wang family, and the talent was not as good as that of the Xie family. Naturally, it was difficult to grow up." Sheng. Although there is a King of Wuling now, he is the only one. His Majesty favors him so much, apart from the fact that he holds a large army, there must be some reason for this."

Xie Shu nodded: "It's reasonable, His Majesty needs the King of Wuling to maintain the balance of the big families, so why not our Xie family?" She closed the paperwork and smiled at Xie Ran: "You also follow me to Kuaiji."

Xie Ran was stunned: "I'm going too?"

"Naturally, you have contributed the most, so of course you will go."

"But my identity..."

"Follow the truth, who dares to talk nonsense?"

Standing beside her, Mubai held his neck high in response to the occasion, the young master has become more and more domineering recently, how happy the lord is in the spirit of the sky, let's stand up and thank the mansion!

Xie Ran was very happy, but because of his arrogance, he didn't show it too much. After thanking Xie Shu, he returned to Liuyunxuan to make preparations.

Guangfu, the servant of Liuyunxuan, has already packed his luggage, seeing him coming back with a happy face, he knows that he has got his wish.

"It seems that the prime minister still values ​​the young master very much."

Xie Ran laughed: "This is not in vain for my hard-fought self-recommendation."

He understood that his identity determined that there would be no hope in the future, so he had to take the initiative to attract Xie Shu's attention and let her give him a chance to display his talents.

But he would never say these things, it would be embarrassing.

A few days before departure, there was an incident of some sort—Wei Yizhi sent Xie Shu a pair of wooden clogs.

The clogs are exquisitely made, they look thick, but they are light in the hand.Xie Shu put it on the table and stared at it for a long time, even couldn't help holding it on the soles of his feet for a while, then asked Mubai seriously: "What do you mean by King Wuling?"

Without even thinking about it, Mubai replied: "To please the young master."

Xie Shu pouted, and handed the clogs to him: "It's good to keep them, I don't need them."
