Ning Gu
Chapter 84 Meeting in the Northwest
When Jinwu fell to the west, exactly as Fengxiang expected, someone came and summoned Xie Wuling to enter the Chongque.
Just as Emperor Shanghui was eating, Yuan Bao waited for him on the corridor outside the Changming Hall, and the latter two said a few words outside the hall before entering the hall one after the other.
When Emperor Hui saw Xie Wuling coming, he asked the eunuch to add a seat for him and a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Xie Wuling to sit on his left side, facing Yuan Bao on the right side.
Seeing that Xie Wuling was seated, Yuan Bao frowned on purpose, then showed his face again in a moment, nodded and smiled, while holding the jade pot to refill Emperor Hui's glass of wine.
"I heard from the imperial doctor that the emperor should not drink too much, this is the last time." Yuan Bao's eyes were bent, and he only added half a glass of wine.
"You..." Emperor Hui only smiled, then turned his head to Xie Wuling, "Don't you want to add another cup to Mr. Xiao?"
Yuan Bao heard the sound, his smile froze slightly, and he passed his gaze to Emperor Hui's, but Emperor Hui put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, and added: "Why, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it? Or is it that the widow's Changle is unwilling?"
"It's a minister, I can't accept it. Let the minister do it by himself." Xie Wuling answered immediately.
Xie Wuling stretched out his hand, wanting to ask the jade pot to pour it out for himself, but he didn't want Emperor Hui to still insist on it.
"Changle." Emperor Hui said straightly, "Your rebellious bone hasn't returned yet?"
"Father..." Yuan Bao heard the words, and there was sadness in the pair of water-cut eyes that resembled the concubine Zhen.
In fact, Zhao Zuo had said about her and Xuancheng a long time ago, it was not Xie Wuling's idea, but the meaning of the master.
She is also very clear-sighted, but subconsciously she still refuses to believe that her father, who once held her on his lap and taught her to read and write, has really become the king of her place.
Xie Wuling looked at the father and daughter, and finally held back his words.One is that it is not his turn to speak for Changle's scene, and the other is that he has never been a father, so he is naturally the least qualified to comment.
Emperor Hui looked at those eyes, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.She closed her cold eyes, rubbed her hands on the cup, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Only then did Xie Wuling speak out to smooth things over, breaking the deadlock: "A few days ago, Princess Fengxiang mentioned Princess Changle, saying that she hadn't seen her for a while, and she specially asked for a pair of Linglong from me. It should be this I'm going to find Princess Changle to play chess in two days, I don't know..."
"That's right, my sister said I'll be looking for you after dinner today." Chang Le took the wine glass from Emperor Hui's hand, and said with a blank expression.
"Then call Feng Xiang too." Emperor Hui took a handkerchief handed over by the eunuch, and wiped the oil on his lips, "I have heard many people say in the past few days that Mr. Xiao and Feng Xiang are getting close."
"It's just that Princess Fengxiang doesn't think I'm mean and wants to be friends with you." Xie Wuling said humbly.
"Hey, what you Xie Pingzhi said now is somewhat true or false, and I still know." Emperor Hui glanced at the eunuch waiting at the door, and the eunuch immediately took something from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Look, Mr. Xie Xiao."
Xie Wuling took the object in response, saw that it was a folder, and opened the folder carefully, seeing the familiar characters, he felt a little bit of an idea, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Impeachment?"
Emperor Hui looked at Xie Wuling, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "What do you think the young man should do?"
"I don't dare to speculate on the holy will." Xie Wuling bowed his head and made a pleasing gesture.
"Don't you dare?" Emperor Hui looked at Xie Wuling, "There will be things that you, Mr. Xie Xiao, are afraid of? If Fengxiang writes this book, you, Mr. Xie Xiao, can pick it up completely? After Tian Jiuxi, who else, Mr. Do you really think that the widow is old and going to be confused?"
"Your Majesty, it's rare to be confused." Xie Wuling said nonchalantly, raised his chin towards Yuan Bao, and talked in a leisurely manner, "Zhao Xing never hesitated for what the Holy Majesty asked for; what the Majesty asked for, the Holy Majesty thought... "
Xie Wuling's eyes met Emperor Hui's, and the lightness in his eyes made Emperor Hui's heart startled. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen this pair of eyes because he had a chance to win, so he was calm about the world. Looks light.
The first time I saw him was probably when Old Xie Xiang was by his side.
Zhaoxing's character is nothing more than that.
"Zhaoxingyin changed me to a sixth-rank official position. The Holy One thinks that Pingzhi is greedy?" Xie Wuling asked casually, with a pair of cunning eyes following Huidi's sharp eyes, what Huidi wanted to explore, They were all swallowed by the abyss in Xie Wuling's eyes.
Why did Emperor Hui want him to deliver messages to Changle and Xuancheng? He thought about it for a long time but to no avail, but when he handed over the Zhaoxing Seal to Xuancheng, he suddenly understood.What Emperor Hui wanted might not be Changle and Xuancheng at all, so he turned a blind eye until this year.
Why does it have to be this year?It's very simple, because the old Xie Xiang has gone, and Zhaoxing's next Xie Xiang has come.During this renewal, Emperor Hui was afraid that he would not be able to control the variable of Xie Wuling, so he could only think about how to take back Zhaoxing's power.
When a person is in a high position, he wants to keep all the possibilities in the palm of his hand, just like Xie Wuling is doing now.And Xie Wuling figured these out not long ago, Emperor Hui bet very firmly on the move that he couldn't bear.
But now it's time for Xie Wuling to move, and he also made a bet.This smiling and calculating eyes forced Huidi to take half a step back and withdraw his gaze.Xie Wuling also looked away, and added a sentence seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, I dare to ask the Holy One about something else."
"What's the matter?"
"The letter from Northwest hasn't arrived for several days. Little Wangsun told his minister yesterday that he missed his father."
Three years later, the person in front of Emperor Hui returned to Fufeng, and he seemed to be more like the old Xie Xiang - the same delicate orifices, but also the same anxiety.
A few days later, Emperor Hui finally knew where his anxiety came from.
An urgent military message came from Guzang in a hurry.The small granaries in the west, north, and south of the city were set on fire by gangsters.
The house leak happened to rain all night, and the bandits in the Hudi repeatedly violated the territory and disturbed the country. Zhao Zuo reported the incident in a letter, intending to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits.
At the court meeting that day, there was an uproar because of this incident.This letter is obviously to kill first and play later. Some said that Zhao Zuo was messing around and sent troops rashly when he was going to appease the army. The nose was on the face, and some even speculated more maliciously that it was the Ye family who wanted to support themselves.
Amid the uproar, it was General Lu who stood up first and suggested that the imperial court should come forward to appease the army and reassure the people. As generals, General Lu naturally knew more about guarding the border than the civil servant of the Manchu Dynasty. Naturally, sending troops to suppress bandits was better than sitting and waiting for orders.
Seeing this, Liang Ce seconded the proposal in a whimsical manner, emphasizing that the grain and grass in other cities on Longxi Road could be transferred to Guzang, and then the imperial court would send a civil servant to send grain and grass to Guzang...
When asked who was the most suitable, the whole court was silent.Naturally no one else would dare to pick up the hot potato except Xie Wuling.
So he took a step forward and asked for the will in court.Emperor Hui's expression turned cold, and he remained silent for a while.
Originally, military misappropriation was already a serious issue, and Tian Juxi was brought to trial only a few days ago.The third division worked continuously for several days and nights, and under Feng Xiang's urging, was anxious to conclude the case.
It was only in the morning that the Ministry of Criminal Justice handed over the verdict, and before Emperor Hui took a second look, the urgent post letter from Guzang arrived.Emperor Hui's hand holding the yellow page was trembling with anger, and he threw the book away with a flick of his sleeve.
Only then did he realize that what Xie Wuling's Zhao Xingyin wanted to change was not just a sixth-rank official position, but a lion's mouth.
A few days ago, he issued an order to let Xie Wuling personally supervise the military expenses, and temporarily take over the post of Tian Jiuxi.Now Xie Wuling wants more.
Xie Wuling was transferred to the Changming Palace after he was dismissed from the court that day. He heard from the eunuch who lived outside the palace that the two talked for a day, and Emperor Hui did not let him leave Chongque until before Chongque was imprisoned. After he left, Emperor Hui was furious and dropped the teacup.
At the next day's court meeting, when all the talents were over, Emperor Hui asked the eunuch to read a new decree, promoted him to the post of Wuling, and gave him the title of imperial envoy to enter Longxi Road to supervise the delivery of grain and grass, and brought him two Taoist oracle.As for the military expenses, I will leave it to others to handle temporarily.
On the day Xie Wuling arrived in Guzang, Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou led troops out of the city to suppress the bandits but did not return, leaving only Shen Changyu in the city.
When Shen Changyu heard that someone came to the government office to report that Fufeng's imperial envoy was about to arrive outside the city, he specially changed into an official uniform and went to the gate of the city to greet him with everyone in the city.
But when he found out that the person who came was Xie Wuling, the heart that was so nervous that he raised his throat suddenly let go.
He stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect the imperial envoy to be Mr. Xie Xiao."
"And me." Xianzhi poked his head out from behind Xie Wuling, his eyes full of cleverness, "Uncle Changyu."
"You kid is here too? The Holy One will let you out of the city?"
"Yeah. Master has great powers, so I asked for it." Xianzhi was full of complacency.
Hearing the sound, Shen Changyu raised his head to look at Xie Wuling with different eyes, as if a little more admired.
Xie Wuling didn't have time to distract him with greetings, his heart had long since left here.
Before he left Fufeng, his heart traveled all the way to this Guzang.Now that I have finally arrived at this Guzang land, the heartfelt feelings buried in my heart can no longer be held, and it is about to break Xie Wuling's heart and come out.
"Where's Master Gu Zang?" He looked around and asked straightforwardly.
"General He Ye went out of the city to suppress bandits and collect food, and he should be back at night. He also asked me to arrange a celebration banquet for him tonight."
"General Ye? Ye...Old General?"
"No." Shen Changyu led Xie Wuling forward.
"It's Ye Fuzhou. Did something happen to the old general? Fortunately, I asked for an extra favor..." Xie Wuling murmured.
Shen Changyu patted Xie Wuling's shoulder, and said softly: "Go back and talk."
Shen Changyu knew that Xie Wuling was not good at riding, so he prepared a frame for him and went to the general's residence.
In order to satisfy Xianzhi's desire to ride a horse, Shen Changyu gave up his horse to Xianzhi, and he stayed in the same carriage with Xie Wuling, and said shortly: "When we arrived here, it was Ye Fuzhou who greeted him personally on behalf of his father."
"Later, when the lord Guzang went to the military camp, we met several ladies on the road. They were all the widows of a group of soldiers who had passed away in the military camp, but they were all unkempt and uncared for. Old scab."
"I heard people say that their husbands were sent to the Hudi a few months ago, and they never came back. I thought it was common for them to go on the battlefield. They went to the military camp to find people, and their old friends in the army wanted them to go. Ask at the pension office of the government office. But a few people entered the government office but were blocked, trapped in an underground prison, and were brutally beaten."
"We all felt that there was something else hidden, so we checked all the way, but not long ago, except for the small granary near the general's mansion in the east of the city, all other granaries have been burned down, but most of the grain has been moved in advance."
"Transfer in advance? You..." Xie Wuling swallowed the rest of the words, he probably understood, and asked instead, "So suppressing bandits is just a cover?"
Shen Changyu looked at Xie Wuling in disbelief, and nodded.
"Since it's a matter of tricks, if you want to catch the turtle in the urn, you will definitely not kill so many people for those bandits. One Ye Fuzhou is enough. His ability should not be underestimated."
"Xiao Mister also knows General Ye?" Shen Changyu asked casually.
After hearing Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou's halberd match that day, Ye Fuzhou laughed and praised Zhao Zuo for being able to detect the weakness of his Ye family's halberd.When asked who the first one was, Ye Fuzhou said something about an old friend, and Zhao Zuo's face turned cold.This scene happened right in front of Shen Changyu's eyes. He guessed that there should be no one else who could change Zhao Zuo's face like Changle and Xianzhi, so he was curious.
"It's just an old friend." Xie Wuling replied, "What's the matter..." Xie Wuling paused suddenly, and asked again, "What did Ye Fuzhou and Zhao Zuo say?"
"It's nothing." Shen Changyu glanced resentfully, but Xie Wuling slyly smiled like a fox, and then grabbed his throat with the following words.
"Changxie asked me to bring some things to his elder brother. I don't know what Brother Changyu would like..."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Changyu curled his lips, and explained exactly what happened when he met Zhao Zuo's face-changing when he arrived at the barracks that day.After hearing this, Xie Wuling nodded as if nothing had happened, and then did nothing else.
Shen Changyu's eyes still revolved around Xie Wuling, but Xie Wuling said with a smile, "Soldiers never tire of cheating".It took Shen Changyu a while to realize that Xie Wuling's words just now were lying to him, and he was so angry that he pointed at Xie Wuling again and again, and was speechless for a while.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Shen Changyu got out of the car and was still angry. He was so angry that he said that when he returned to Fufeng, he would go to the Chongque to sue the imperial court.
"Then you just go and sue, when the Holy Majesty resigns from my position, I will go hang out with Chang Xie every day." Xie Wuling Xing came, raised his voice to hit Shen Changyu and said.
But he didn't want his words to fall into other ears.
"Who does the little gentleman want to hang out with?" Zhao Zuo came out from behind the gate of the general's mansion, and beside him stood Xianzhi who arrived at the mansion before Xie Wuling, and Xianzhi didn't mind the trouble and said loudly: "He Changxie Uncle." After speaking, he looked at Xie Wuling with a smile.
Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou wanted to return to Fufeng before the imperial envoy arrived, but they were a step too late.
What was even more unexpected was that Xianzhi rode wildly all the way and ran into Zhao Zuo. Zhao Zuo looked at Xianzhi in disbelief, until Xianzhi called him "Daddy" before he dared to recognize that the brocade clothed boy in front of him was really his son .
"Thank you, my lord." Ye Fuzhou followed Zhao Zuohou inside the gate of the mansion, saw Xie Wuling, and wanted to blurt out "Xie Pingzhi", but suddenly realized it and changed his words.
Xie Wuling wanted to bow to Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou, but before he could stand still, he heard Zhao Zuo tease: "Mr. Xiao is still cool and unrestrained in Fufeng?"
Hearing this, Xie Wuling had to admit that a mountain is higher than a mountain.He gouged out Shen Changyu and Ye Fuzhou who were gloating at their misfortunes, and said in a warm voice, "Lao Gu Zangzhu is worried about you. I don't dare to have the word 'chic'."
Zhao Zuo snorted coldly, glanced at him, and walked towards the main hall of the mansion.
Xie Wuling hurriedly grabbed Ye Fuzhou, and said in a low voice: "The grain and grass are parked outside the city, do you want someone to take it over?"
Zhao Zuo heard Xie Wuling rustling with others behind him, so he glanced back again, unexpectedly, the person who was supposed to be intimidated was not intimidated, and Ye Qiaoyu, who came out from the path, was frightened.
"Brother! Brother Pingzhi is here..." Peeping Yuzheng jumped out and met Zhao Zuo's gaze, and the "le" that came to the edge of his mouth was swallowed abruptly.
Hearing the words, Xie Wuling raised his head and followed the eyes of the peeping fish. He saw Zhao Zuo's sinister eyes, and couldn't help biting his lips. Against those eyes, he said to Ye Fuzhou: "Go quickly, take Mr. Shen Dalang Take it with you too."
Ye Jianyu took a few steps back cleverly, and hid himself back in the path, and then he let go of the shock in his throat, and saw a young gentleman in brocade clothes walking up to her calmly: " Please ask this sister to lead the way and show me this garden."
"Ah?" Peeping Fish stared at the brocade-clothed young man in a daze.
"Just go early, please let this sister lead the way."
Although Ye Jianyu didn't know what was going to happen, or what had already happened, he still agreed with the young gentleman in brocade clothes from Fufeng, it's better to leave early.So he dragged Xianzhi to go elsewhere.
Only Zhao Zuo, who looked back at Xie Wuling, was left on the right path, and Xie Wuling, who still pretended to be indifferent, but was actually heartbroken.
"Cough." Xie Wuling cleared his throat, "Master Gu Zang, why don't you take me to the resting place?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zuo turned around and walked towards his residence, his pace became faster and faster, leading Xie Wuling into the house.
When Xie Wuling closed the door, Zhao Zuo came closer, his eyes were frighteningly cold, causing Xie Wuling to twitch the corners of his mouth and smile, while thinking about how to appease Zhao Zuo.
Just as Emperor Shanghui was eating, Yuan Bao waited for him on the corridor outside the Changming Hall, and the latter two said a few words outside the hall before entering the hall one after the other.
When Emperor Hui saw Xie Wuling coming, he asked the eunuch to add a seat for him and a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Xie Wuling to sit on his left side, facing Yuan Bao on the right side.
Seeing that Xie Wuling was seated, Yuan Bao frowned on purpose, then showed his face again in a moment, nodded and smiled, while holding the jade pot to refill Emperor Hui's glass of wine.

"It's a minister, I can't accept it. Let the minister do it by himself." Xie Wuling answered immediately.
Xie Wuling stretched out his hand, wanting to ask the jade pot to pour it out for himself, but he didn't want Emperor Hui to still insist on it.
"Changle." Emperor Hui said straightly, "Your rebellious bone hasn't returned yet?"
"Father..." Yuan Bao heard the words, and there was sadness in the pair of water-cut eyes that resembled the concubine Zhen.
In fact, Zhao Zuo had said about her and Xuancheng a long time ago, it was not Xie Wuling's idea, but the meaning of the master.
She is also very clear-sighted, but subconsciously she still refuses to believe that her father, who once held her on his lap and taught her to read and write, has really become the king of her place.

"Changxie asked me to bring some things to his elder brother. I don't know what Brother Changyu would like..."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Changyu curled his lips, and explained exactly what happened when he met Zhao Zuo's face-changing when he arrived at the barracks that day.After hearing this, Xie Wuling nodded as if nothing had happened, and then did nothing else.
Shen Changyu's eyes still revolved around Xie Wuling, but Xie Wuling said with a smile, "Soldiers never tire of cheating".It took Shen Changyu a while to realize that Xie Wuling's words just now were lying to him, and he was so angry that he pointed at Xie Wuling again and again, and was speechless for a while.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Shen Changyu got out of the car and was still angry. He was so angry that he said that when he returned to Fufeng, he would go to the Chongque to sue the imperial court.
"Then you just go and sue, when the Holy Majesty resigns from my position, I will go hang out with Chang Xie every day." Xie Wuling Xing came, raised his voice to hit Shen Changyu and said.
But he didn't want his words to fall into other ears.
"Who does the little gentleman want to hang out with?" Zhao Zuo came out from behind the gate of the general's mansion, and beside him stood Xianzhi who arrived at the mansion before Xie Wuling, and Xianzhi didn't mind the trouble and said loudly: "He Changxie Uncle." After speaking, he looked at Xie Wuling with a smile.
Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou wanted to return to Fufeng before the imperial envoy arrived, but they were a step too late.
What was even more unexpected was that Xianzhi rode wildly all the way and ran into Zhao Zuo. Zhao Zuo looked at Xianzhi in disbelief, until Xianzhi called him "Daddy" before he dared to recognize that the brocade clothed boy in front of him was really his son .
"Thank you, my lord." Ye Fuzhou followed Zhao Zuohou inside the gate of the mansion, saw Xie Wuling, and wanted to blurt out "Xie Pingzhi", but suddenly realized it and changed his words.
Xie Wuling wanted to bow to Zhao Zuo and Ye Fuzhou, but before he could stand still, he heard Zhao Zuo tease: "Mr. Xiao is still cool and unrestrained in Fufeng?"
Hearing this, Xie Wuling had to admit that a mountain is higher than a mountain.He gouged out Shen Changyu and Ye Fuzhou who were gloating at their misfortunes, and said in a warm voice, "Lao Gu Zangzhu is worried about you. I don't dare to have the word 'chic'."
Zhao Zuo snorted coldly, glanced at him, and walked towards the main hall of the mansion.
Xie Wuling hurriedly grabbed Ye Fuzhou, and said in a low voice: "The grain and grass are parked outside the city, do you want someone to take it over?"
Zhao Zuo heard Xie Wuling rustling with others behind him, so he glanced back again, unexpectedly, the person who was supposed to be intimidated was not intimidated, and Ye Qiaoyu, who came out from the path, was frightened.
"Brother! Brother Pingzhi is here..." Peeping Yuzheng jumped out and met Zhao Zuo's gaze, and the "le" that came to the edge of his mouth was swallowed abruptly.
Hearing the words, Xie Wuling raised his head and followed the eyes of the peeping fish. He saw Zhao Zuo's sinister eyes, and couldn't help biting his lips. Against those eyes, he said to Ye Fuzhou: "Go quickly, take Mr. Shen Dalang Take it with you too."
Ye Jianyu took a few steps back cleverly, and hid himself back in the path, and then he let go of the shock in his throat, and saw a young gentleman in brocade clothes walking up to her calmly: " Please ask this sister to lead the way and show me this garden."
"Ah?" Peeping Fish stared at the brocade-clothed young man in a daze.
"Just go early, please let this sister lead the way."
Although Ye Jianyu didn't know what was going to happen, or what had already happened, he still agreed with the young gentleman in brocade clothes from Fufeng, it's better to leave early.So he dragged Xianzhi to go elsewhere.
Only Zhao Zuo, who looked back at Xie Wuling, was left on the right path, and Xie Wuling, who still pretended to be indifferent, but was actually heartbroken.
"Cough." Xie Wuling cleared his throat, "Master Gu Zang, why don't you take me to the resting place?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zuo turned around and walked towards his residence, his pace became faster and faster, leading Xie Wuling into the house.
When Xie Wuling closed the door, Zhao Zuo came closer, his eyes were frighteningly cold, causing Xie Wuling to twitch the corners of his mouth and smile, while thinking about how to appease Zhao Zuo.
