"What's the fuss about? Where's the fuss?" Holding the tea bowl, Wang Changlian couldn't help but be startled.
A lot of things have happened recently. Chen Wei suddenly came in in a hurry and said such a sentence, which really made Wang Changlian a little confused.
"Sir, please take a look." Breathing heavily, Chen Er handed the official document in his hand to Wang Changlian, "He Xuan, the magistrate of Daxing County, personally ran to Shuntian Mansion and handed it over."
"Daxing County Magistrate?" Wang Changlian frowned, put the tea bowl on the table, and took the official document from Chen Wei's hand.
After handing over the official document, Chen Ercai sat down on the chair opposite Wang Changlian, stretched out his head, and sniffed vigorously.
"What kind of tea is this that Mr. Wang brewed? It's very fragrant."
"Xiao Chen brought it back from Hangzhou and said it was the authentic West Lake Longjing." Wang Chang continued without raising his head.
"This guy brought back some good tea and didn't know how to share it." Chen Wei said pretending to be angry.
"I still have some here. I'll make you a bowl first, and I'll bring you some later."
"Just make a bowl and take it with you. I'll go to Dongchang later and ask Xiao Chen for some." Chen Er chuckled, turned up the tea bowl on the table, opened the exquisite blue and white porcelain tea can, and put it into the tea bowl.
After putting some down, he went to put the kettle on the stove.
"You should take some with you first. Even if Xiao Chen still has some, he already followed Mr. Dongchang to Huailaiwei yesterday." Wang Chang said while looking at the official documents carefully.
"He's gone? It's going to be difficult now. The aftershocks of Le'an's incident haven't faded away, and Daxing is being poured into trouble again. Xiao Chen is in a lot of trouble this time." Chen Wei said, filling his tea bowl.
He added some hot water to Wang Changlian's tea bowl, then put the kettle on the stove and sat back down.
Chen Wei still quite recognized Xiao Chen. Although most of the courtiers had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xiao Chen secretly, Chen Wei had truly experienced Xiao Chen's edge.
No matter how high or low the other party's position is, in Xiao Chen's eyes, he is just a "person". There is no way for him to grovel to please him.
But if you are on the right track and you ask for socks, he will give you a pair of shoes.
Knowing the relationship between Wang Changlian and Xiao Chen, when Shuntian Mansion received an official document from He Xuan asking for help from the court, Chen Wei immediately took the official document to the Ministry of Rites.
Putting down the official document, Wang Changlian's face looked a little ugly.
"On the surface, He Xuan, the magistrate of Daxing County, seems to be thinking about the people of Daxing everywhere, but in fact, he works hard to keep this fire burning. He even included the talk of ghosts and gods in the official document, and even asked the Shenji Battalion to be stationed in Daxing County. This matter
, I'm afraid there is someone behind the scenes." Looking at Chen Wei, Wang Changlian said with a serious face.
"How could a county magistrate, even if he was thinking about the people, dare to ask the emperor's 'hunting' army Shenji Battalion to move into Daxing? The people behind the scenes thought that the emperor's anger was not strong enough, and worked hard to add fuel to the emperor's heart. At this juncture, the gods
No one should have any ideas about the machine camp. Mr. Wang, how about I withhold this official document?"
Exploring his head, Chen Er asked.
"What can I do if I detain it?" Wang Changlian shook his head, "This is just the first official document, there will be a second and third document after that. Besides, since the other party has chosen to let He Xuan report it step by step, he is obviously prepared to do so.
Fight a protracted war. If Mr. Chen does not report this matter to the court, the other party will not let it go."
"I reported it? Doesn't that mean that this matter is something approved by Shuntian Mansion?" Chen Wei reacted instantly.
"Yes, what they want is the approval of Shuntian Prefecture. How much say can a county magistrate have in front of the emperor? Shuntian Prefecture is different. If it is reported to the emperor, it is very likely that the emperor will re-investigate the case." Wang Changlian
A worried way.
Chen Wei slapped his thigh hard with his right hand: "This Xiao Chen, you just handle the case, you kill so many people at once, and the scene is so tragic. The King of Han is also a prince after all, so he can chop it off if he wants to.
Chop it up. Even if we have the intention to do this, we can't do anything about it."
Wang Changlian stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at his toes, and walked back and forth in the back hall.
Chen Wei also put down the tea bowl and put his hands on the table with a dull expression. It seemed that at this moment, the fragrance of West Lake Longjing tea no longer tempted him at all.
"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as we saw. It seems that the other party is targeting Xiao Chen, but in fact it is really targeting the emperor." Wang Changlian stopped and looked at Chen Wei with a solemn expression.
"Aimed at the emperor?" Chen Wei looked surprised.
All the things were caused by Xiao Chen, so why did he target the emperor? At worst, he could arrange for hundreds of men from the Shenji Camp to be stationed in Daxing for a period of time.
The tragedy has already taken place, is it possible to bring those people back to life? Besides, these people gathered in Daxing and secretly hid weapons, which was originally a major crime to kill the nine tribes, but now that they are dead and the tribe is spared, after all, what else does Xiao Chen do?
A good thing.
They exaggerated the tragic situation in Daxing County, simply accusing Xiao Chen of being cruel and too bloody, and couldn't fight the emperor, so what does it have to do with it.
"The purpose of these people, if I'm not wrong, is to provoke the emperor and alienate Xiao Chen. According to the emperor's domineering attitude, he will either ignore them. If he does, it will definitely not be as simple as alienating them." Wang Changlian
road.
"Master Wang, what do you mean, the emperor will punish Xiao Chen?" Chen Er also said with a worried look on his face.
From the King of Yan to the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it not only requires great talent and great strategy, but also careful scheming, the right time, the right place, and the right people.
It can be said that the throne of the emperor was not easy to come by.
In the first year of Yongle, many ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty were killed, and many civil and military officials who surrendered were treated with courtesy on the surface, but secretly they were secretly removed by the Jin Yiwei on various unfounded charges.
The emperor's cruelty, how many large-scale tragedies, and how many Le'an incidents can be combined to rival this.
The emperor doesn't really care about these things.
But if he cares about it, Xiao Chen may be in serious danger.
"I'm not afraid of the emperor punishing Xiao Chen. What I'm afraid of is that the emperor will anger Xiao Chen because of this. If such a day comes, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. Compared with the Battle of Jingnan, I'm afraid it's a little worse.
Nothing less." Looking at the bowl of West Lake Longjing tea on the table, Wang Changlian didn't know what to do.
"Sir, are you saying that these people want to force Xiao Chen to rebel?" Chen Wei's mouth opened wide.
It has been almost twenty years. Although wars continued in the Ming Dynasty, the people within its own territory were living and working in peace and contentment without experiencing the trampling of war.
If the world is in chaos, what will happen to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty?
