Chapter 533 This kindness of the lord, I will never forget it!
After being favored, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he was measured and measured. Yuan Li took another high look at Wen Hu.
"To fill the remaining vacancies, you should first draw up a list."
Yuan Li stood up and walked to Wen Hu and said softly: "Marquis of Sha County, follow me for a walk outside."
Watching Wen Hu leave, Chen Changyun felt a little nervous. He knew that Yuan Li wanted to chat with Wen Hu alone because he wanted to test Wen Tai.
Cui Wuming was clearly sent by himself, so why did it suddenly turn out to be Wen Tai’s instigation?
And during the confrontation at Tianze Palace, Wen Tai also admitted it.
Could it be that Cui Wuming took orders from both sides?
Yuan Li and Chen Changyun both thought about it in private and felt that it was very likely. After all, Cui Wuming hated the emperor, so naturally he also hated the court. For him, the more chaotic the court, the better, and the better he could achieve his goal of revenge.
It's just that Cui Wuming left Changsui after killing Chen Ke, so he couldn't find him to ask questions.
Yuan Li walked in front, and Wen Hu always followed with half a step back. The two of them admired the scenery in the garden of Yuxin Palace.
"Marquis Shaxian, you have uprightly killed your relatives and have done great service in protecting the country. Although His Majesty has given you the rewards you deserve, you still have to endure countless criticisms. It's really hard on you."
Wen Hu said: "Your Majesty, you are serious in your words. As long as what I do is right, I will not be afraid of any criticism."
Yuan Lidao: "I heard that Cui Wuming is a famous swordsman in the world. Have you seen him with your own eyes?"
Wen Hu said: "This is natural. Cui Wuming's arm was chopped off by Xu Qingshan. He came to Changsui this time to avenge Xu Qingshan, and the two ended up in a draw. I learned this news
Later, I was worried that he would seek revenge on my uncle, so I found him first."
Yuan Li asked: "I know that the Marquis of Shaxian County is also a master, why don't you kill him?"
Wen Hu said calmly: "He is a talent. Rather than repaying his grievances, it would be more meaningful to accept him and keep him for his own use."
Yuan Li smiled and said: "The Marquis of Shaxian is quite straightforward."
Wen Hu said: "When you talk to the prince, you don't dare to hide anything."
"These days, the central office is busy filling vacancies for officials, so Wen Tai's matter has been put on hold for the time being."
Speaking of this, Yuan Li stopped, looked at the fish in the pond, and said, "Do you have any opinions on how to deal with Wen Tai?"
Wen Hu clasped his fists and said: "Wen Tai is my uncle, nothing I say is good. But..."
Yuan Li smiled and said, "There's no harm in speaking out."
Wen Hu continued: "I suggest that the prince and the Central Committee should not be involved in the matter of dealing with my uncle."
"Why?" Yuan Li asked.
"My uncle was once the left prime minister of Dajing, and he was also your Majesty's favorite. How to deal with him can only be decided by your Majesty."
Wen Hu took a step closer to Yuan Li and said: "The Central Committee has dealt such a heavy hand this time. I know that the Central Committee hopes that he will die, but what if His Majesty doesn't think so? In other words, Your Majesty will think so when he is angry now, and later on.
Are your anger gone? If you kill him first and report later, and His Majesty holds you accountable, someone will always be needed to stand up to the blame."
"Of course... His Majesty and the prince have a deep brotherly relationship, so naturally the prince will not be blamed. However, the great situation that has just been established in the central office will definitely be affected."
"What's more, my uncle has quite a lot of connections in the army. If the pressure is too tight, these people will start a riot in the name of defending my uncle in order to protect themselves, and Dajing will be in chaos."
"It's not worth taking such a big risk for someone who has already lost power."
Yuan Li narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled at Wen Hu and said, "Marquis Shaxian, you have learned a lesson."
"I don't dare." Wen Hu said, cupping his fists.
Yuan Li nodded and said: "You are right. Whether Wen Tai lives or dies, only His Majesty has the final say."
Wen Hu said: "I promised His Majesty that I would pacify those relationships in the military. So I also ask Your Majesty to control the central stage and not act excessively, so that we can make a smooth transition."
Yuan Li patted Wen Hu on the shoulder and said, "I'm very grateful that you can tell me this."
Wen Hu said: "The prince is your majesty's brother, and I am a minister of the Yuan family. Naturally, I have to share more of the prince's worries."
Yuan Li smiled slightly, Wen Hu's words were very clear.
This is a sign of goodwill.
As long as Wen Hu has no ill intentions towards him, everything will be fine.
This situation made Yuan Li very satisfied, and the doubts in his heart were gradually relieved.
Wen Hu is an ambitious person who wants to be in a position of power.
Such a person will please both the emperor and King Xin.
But it is better to make use of such people.
Yuan Li made a mental calculation and became more friendly towards Wen Hu. He smiled and said: "The Marquis of Sha County is older than me, just like my elder brother. You can talk to me about anything in the future. Although Zuo Xiang's Mansion is gone, I
There are still several houses in Changsui. You can choose your own later, and I will give you a Marquis Mansion."
Wen Hu said: "I appreciate the prince's kindness. If I want this house, Your Majesty will be unhappy. I have saved some savings over the years, and it is not difficult to buy a satisfactory house."
Yuan Lidao: "In that case, I won't make it difficult for you."
"If the prince really wants to give me something, I do have a request."
"Speak frankly, I will give you everything I can."
Wen Hu knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "My uncle's staff member Yu Changsi is a commoner. No one from the prison or the Ministry of Punishment has arrested him yet, but if we investigate, it is inevitable that the fire will be burned on him. Except for my uncle.
Besides, I grew up with Uncle Zhong and Mr. Yu. Now that Uncle Zhong is inseparable, I also ask the prince to let Mr. Yu go. I will support him and let him be the steward of my Marquis Mansion."
Yuan Li thought carefully and said, "I heard that this person is very powerful. Can you guarantee that he will not have second thoughts in the future?"
Wen Hu said: "No matter how powerful he is, he must be based on the strength of Zuoxiang's Mansion. Now that Zuoxiang's Mansion is gone, he alone cannot stir up trouble. And as long as I am here, I will guide him to forget about his uncle.
"
Yuan Lidao: "Having said this, I will naturally not be stingy. I will protect him, and some criminal evidence related to him will also be destroyed."
Wenhu clasped his fists heavily and said, "Your Majesty, I, Wenhu, will never forget this kindness!"
Yuan Li nodded with satisfaction, Wen Hu's attitude towards him became more respectful, and the relationship between the two got closer.
"Get up quickly." Yuan Li helped Wen Hu up.
Wenhu straightened his back and looked very tall standing next to Yuan Li, a head taller than Yuan Li.
He regained his serious look and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more matter that I think the court should handle as soon as possible."
"What's the matter?"
"According to reports from the Jinghai front line, the Zhenhai Battalion has eliminated the pirates in Jingdong County and Jiangyang County. The local people are very excited about getting rid of the pirates and actively join the army. The Zhenhai Battalion has not yet entered Yunjing County, and the number of pirates has increased.
The more. As for Changsui, the news that his father Duxuhe was sent to prison is almost spreading."
Wen Hu lowered his voice and said: "To appeal to Chengdu, the court must appease him as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be just the pirates who are in trouble at the seaside."
