When Wang Tao thought of this, he immediately invited Gao Hong.
Gao Hong rarely received summons from Wang Tao in the past few months, but as soon as he heard Wang Tao summon him, he immediately went to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion without hesitation.
Gao Hong was taken to the study of Jiedushi Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw broken porcelain on the ground. Several maids were standing in the study, not daring to move. Their bodies were shaking constantly. Think about the current situation.
, he understood why Wang Tao came to him.
When Wang Tao saw Gao Hong come in, he quickly stepped forward and invited Gao Hong to the seat of honor, while he sat down next to accompany him. Gao Hong couldn't refuse, so he had to take the seat of honor.
The maid in Wang Tao's study said: "If you haven't packed up your things quickly, get out."
As if they had received an amnesty, the maids quickly collected all the broken porcelain on the floor and quickly exited the study.
Gao Hong took advantage of this time to observe Wang Tao carefully and found that he was completely different from what he was three months ago. Three months ago, he was a mighty military governor, but now he looked like an old man in a state of decay. Thinking
Gao Hong couldn't help but feel sad for Wang Tao's kindness to him. Although Wang Tao was becoming more and more self-willed and a little stupid, thinking about Wang Tao's kindness to him, Gao Hong decided to help him no matter what this time.
Let him get through it.
After the two sat down, Wang Tao said anxiously: "I regret that I didn't listen to my husband's words, which is why I am in today's predicament. Now I have no way out, so I would like to ask my husband to see if there is any solution? Let me
Passed this level.”
Gao Hong listened to Wang Tao's request and tried hard to think about the current situation. Finally he came up with a way. Although this method could only save him for a while, he might lose his official position in the future. But after all, he saved his life.
Gao Hong said to Wang Tao: "Sir, the current situation is very clear. It is no longer possible for the Tatars to capture Kaipingwei. We can no longer cling to unproven illusions. Now that the weather has turned cold, the Tatars can no longer hold on.
Well, once the Tatars withdraw their troops and the news from Kaiping Guard is clear, with Jia Ke's ability, the news will definitely spread to the capital very quickly, and your Excellency will definitely be convicted by then."
Wang Tao couldn't help feeling frightened after hearing Gao Hong's words. Thinking about his tragic death in the Heavenly Prison, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
He stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Gao Hong's hand, "Sir, you must save me. Now as long as I can survive, I can do anything."
Gao Hong looked at his helpless look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he had known about this, why bother in the first place. Considering Wang Tao's kindness to him, he couldn't ignore it.
Gao Hong patted Wang Tao's hand gently, comforted him and said, "Sir, we haven't reached this point yet. We still have a chance to make amends."
Wang Tao, as if grasping a life-saving straw, asked eagerly: "What should I do?"
Gao Hong told him the solution, "Now, we should take action from several aspects together. It is still possible to resolve the crisis. The first aspect is to immediately go to the capital with a heavy ceremony and send someone to visit the governor of the capital camp, Mr. Wang, to ask for help.
Mr. Wang, please be open-minded."
Wang Tao fully agreed with this: "Meeting Mr. Wang is the right thing to do. I will prepare more gifts when the time comes. Mr. Wang will definitely be satisfied. When the time comes, Mr. Wang will say something, Jia Ke is just a little bastard, he can translate
What's the trick?"
Seeing that he hadn't seen the key yet, Gao Hong hurriedly explained to him, "Your Excellency, you must not say that. This Jia Ke is not a simple person. I am afraid that he also has high hopes in Rongguo Mansion. If Your Excellency sends someone like this
Tell Mr. Wang that if something goes wrong, how will Mr. Wang explain it to the Rongguo Mansion?"
Wang Tao looked at Gao Hong in confusion. Gao Hong looked at his face and knew that he hadn't figured it out yet. Please explain to him: "There are some things in these aristocratic families that only one or two people in my own family know. And Jia Ke is so young
At a young age, the Rongguo Mansion arranged for a sixth-rank official to be appointed, and also temporarily replaced the fifth-rank Kaiping Guard Yu Qianhu. There is no secret in this. Who can believe it?"
Wang Tao suddenly realized this and looked like he was deeply regretful.
Gao Hong saw that he understood, and then said: "The second thing is to send someone to contact Jia Ke and promise huge profits to temporarily appease it."
Wang Tao now somewhat understands Jia Ke's importance to Rongguo Mansion, so he did not refute. Instead, he asked Gao Hong: "I wonder what kind of benefits can be given to Jia Ke so that he can let this matter go?"
Gao Hong thought for a while and said to Wang Tao: "Jia Ke is now a Qianhu, but he is only an official of the sixth rank. The combined merits of these several times should make him a guard of the fifth rank. Why not let him serve in Kaiping
Wei is the fifth-grade guard, and Kaiping Guard has been expanded into Kaiping Town, so he can be regarded as his own. This should satisfy him."
Wang Tao nodded without refuting.
Seeing that Wang Tao did not refute, Gao Hong knew that he had agreed, and then said to him: "This third matter is a bit sinister. I wonder if your Excellency can handle it?"
When Wang Tao heard what he said, he couldn't help but laugh: "Now I don't care whether I am vicious or not, as long as I can protect myself."
Seeing what he said, Gao Hong said with a sullen face: "Someone must take responsibility for this matter. After all, it is not a trivial matter. You must know that tens of thousands of people attacked the border and the fighting lasted for three months. No one has reported it to the court.
It's a capital crime. Now I need to find someone to take care of this matter for you."
When Wang Tao first heard him say that this was a capital crime, he was already out of his mind. Now that he heard him saying that someone should be blamed, his eyes were bright, and he stared at Gao Hong without blinking, asking him to continue.
"Xu Hu, the magistrate of Xuanfu Town, was an assistant sent to you by the imperial court. He was not only jealous of the virtuous and capable, but also deposed the public for personal gain. Because his brother-in-law was killed by Jia Ke for corruption, he repeatedly stopped him from sending troops to rescue him, and also secretly
I withheld the secret document you sent to the court and was discovered by you. You were angry for a moment and immediately executed him to enforce military law. Although you killed the prefect without permission, it was just because you were angry for a moment, and this is a border crossing. What you did was
In military law, although there are minor mistakes, they are not serious. Sir, do you think this is right?"
After hearing what he said, Wang Tao's face was already flushed, and there was no sign of decadence just now. Now when Gao Hong asked him, he immediately said: "Yes, that's what happened. This Xu Hu has committed a heinous crime, and killing him is not enough."
The common people are angry, and not killing him is not enough to repay the imperial court. How can my subordinates allow such a person to exist? I will gather the generals in the lobby tomorrow and execute him that day to set an example."
Seeing Wang Tao being so excited, Gao Hong couldn't help pouring cold water on him again: "Although your Excellency has escaped this disaster for the time being, you have sinned against the Jia family after all. From now on, you should be careful and don't let them seize the opportunity again. Otherwise, Your Excellency, you will think this is the case."
Is it really over?"
Wang Tao heard Gao Hong's words and felt that it was a bit of a fuss. Since the three aspects have been properly arranged, there will be no trouble in the future. If the plan can be implemented smoothly, it will be a blessing in disguise. He can catch up with Prince Teng Wang, the governor of the Beijing Camp.
The relationship couldn't be better.
Gao Hong looked at Wang Tao's optimistic expression and didn't know what to say to him. When he was young, Wang Tao was still very cautious. How did he become like this now? Don't you know that people's hearts are sinister? You almost cost Jia Ke his life. Didn't you?
I really thought that by promoting him to an official position, he would wipe out his past affairs, not to mention that you deserved this official position.
But Gao Hong couldn't dampen Wang Tao's enthusiasm now, so he could only take it one step at a time. Then he agreed with Wang Tao on how to make Xu Hu take the blame. And that night, Gao Hong secretly copied the letter of accusation and several letters from Wang Tao to the capital.
The memorials and payment dates are all different. When the time comes, these will be evidence of Xu Hu’s crimes.
