Chapter 44 Song Jing was wronged

Chen Zairong said that this fact was too big, and it was beyond Chen Wanrong's imagination. Chen Wanrong never expected that he would do something that could cause a sensation inadvertently, and his head was buzzing. Until he returned to Zheng's house, he had not yet woken up, but his head was still ringing.

"Brother Chen, you are back." Zheng Qing came over like a butterfly and told Chen Wanrong a good news: "Brother Chen, Uncle Wu is here to see you."

Wu Jing is here, that's a good thing. Since we left at home and haven't seen each other for so many days, Chen Wanrong missed this person who had great help to him and said loudly: "Okay, I'll go now."

Zheng Qing grabbed him, crescent eyebrows flicked, reminding him: "Brother Chen, Uncle Wu seems unhappy, I don't know why. He values ​​you very much, you want to make him happy."

Chen Wanrong felt that he was responsible for asking Wu Jing to be happy. However, it would be a big deal that could not be more important if he could make Wu Jing happy. If he succeeded, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."

As Zheng Qing came to the living room, he saw Zheng Zhou accompanying Wu Jing and his wife to have tea. Chen Wanrong saw that as Zheng Qing said, Wu Jing was frowning, and was not as bright as he was when he first met. Chen Wanrong strode up and greeted him: "Brother, Mr. Wu!" After not seeing him for many days, Mr. Wu was as energetic as before! He didn't see him several times. Seeing him again today, Chen Wanrong felt very comforted!

Wu Jing stood up and returned the greeting: "Hehe, it's Brother Wanrong! You have been busy for several years, but Wu Jing didn't go there, so I apologized here."

"Mr. Wu is so serious. I am not sensitive. I am disturbing Mr. Chen Wanrong smiled and humble: "I have met Mrs.!"

Wu Liu hurriedly returned the gift. Chen Zairong hurriedly met with Wu Jing and his wife.

After the ceremony, she sat down and the girl brought tea. Wu Jing looked at Chen Zairong and asked, "Zairong, how good is the exam today?"

Chen Zairong's excitement had already faded. He stood up and said, "Mr. Wu asked, Zairong dared not not answer. Cheng Meng's prince refused to give up and wanted to be born in the East Palace late."

This is great news. Wu Jing and his wife, Zheng Qing and his daughter were surprised at first, and then came to congratulate each other, surrounding Chen Zairong and saying congratulations to each of them.

Chen Zairong was very busy before he could deal with them.

Wu Jing held Chen Zairong's hand and encouraged him: "Anyone who is a minister must have a loyal heart! The prince's wise and wise will surely promote my Tang Dynasty. With your talent and character, the prince will rely on it. You must take care of yourself!"

Chen Zairong bowed to the teachings: "Thank you Mr. Wu to teach me, remember the late student! The late student must follow it!"

"Okay, okay!" Wu Jing applauded repeatedly, let go of Chen Zairong, sat next to Chen Wanrong, and smiled and said, "Brother Wanrong, I heard that you have made the soap colorful during this period. Congratulations!"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mr. Wu has been awarded too much. These are all Mr. Wu, Mr. Zheng, Miss Zheng, and Aunt Zheng. If it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have been so fast." If it weren't for Zheng Qing's busy help, Chen Wanrong would have spent more time, and he said this sincerely.

Zheng Qing was still so unprofitable, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is so serious. We just sorted out the house and didn't dare to say help." At the end, the phoenix eyes flashed at Chen Wanrong, meaning that Chen Wanrong wanted to untie Wu Jing's knot.

Chen Wanrong understood, nodded slightly, and said to Wu Jing: "Mr. Wu, why are you worried? Are you worried? Could it be that I disturbed you?" He pointed out the main topic in half-joking, which is a skill of saying it out.

Wu Liu looked at Wu Jing, his eyebrows were twisted together, and he was very worried.

When Wu Jing heard this, he shook his right hand: "Brother Wanrong is so serious, how can he do this? I'm happy."

"Mr. Wu, the last time I saw you, my eyebrows were raised, but today I was tied into a family." Chen Wanrong held on to her. The eyebrows were tied into a family, which refers to Wu Jing's frown and tactful statement.

Wu Jing shook his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Aren't you happy to see Brother Wanrong? I'm happy today." He found out that his words were a bit grammatical, so he hurriedly corrected them.

Although he had something to do, he refused to admit it. Cao Cao's harsh mouth was so rude that Wu Liu gave him a blank look.

He refused to admit it and could not ask directly. He had to find another way. Chen Wanrong decided to adopt a roundabout strategy and half-jokingly said: "Mr. Wu, is someone borrowing you money and not paying it back?"

"Wu doesn't care about money or anything else." Wu Jing blurted out his words, but expressed a good moral character that he didn't like money.

"Someone borrowed you but didn't return the books?" A well-reader like him, he loves books very much and doesn't lend them. If someone borrowed books but didn't repay them, it would be even more uncomfortable than owing him money, Chen Wanrong would joke again.

Wu Jing didn't care: "Scholars must cherish books. Anyone who borrows my books must be a gentleman, and they will borrow and return them."

"That's something happened in the court!" Chen Wanrong thought of what Zheng Qing said last night and guessed.

"Nothing?" Wu Jing first denies it, and then saw Wu Liu staring at him, and quickly reiterated: "How do you know? Is someone telling you?"

Wu Jing thought that Wu Liu and he had been married for decades and knew him very well. She told Chen Wanrong that it was normal. Wu Liu knew what he thought and hurriedly defended: "I will not ask about anything in the court, let alone tell others about it."

Chen Wanrong didn't want him to be suspicious anymore and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, there is no need to be suspicious. In fact, we knew something happened in the court yesterday. Yesterday, we visited your mansion and you were reluctant to return. If there was no major event in the court, you would not be able to stay in the city. This morning, there was a lot of soldiers on the street. If the court was fine, it would not have been like this."

"Great insight, high insight!" Wu Jing sighed and stopped talking.

Chen Wanrong enlightened him: "Mr. Wu, I have no other meaning, don't get me wrong. I want to do my best to do things in the court, so don't take it too much."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wanrong." Wu Jing sighed and leaned on the chair, and then said, "If it were anything else, I wouldn't take it to heart. How could something happen to such a big court? But this matter is too big and the government and the people are shocked!"

Chen Wanrong hurriedly reminded him: "Mr. Wu, these things in the court will be handled by the people in the court." The second half of the sentence was not said, but we don't need to say that we know.

Wu Jing shook his hand and said, "Brother Wanrong, you will know this sooner or later. The court has spread all over the place. Song Xiang was demoted to Guangzhou, it was Song Xiang!"

Chen Wanrong only met Song Jing yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would be demoted today. If it weren't for the words being said from Wu Jing, Chen Wanrong would have thought he had heard it wrong and could not help but be stunned.

Song Jing was a top-notch capable minister in the court, and had a very high reputation. When he heard this, Wu Liu, Zheng Qing and his daughter, and Chen Zairong couldn't help but exclaim.

Wu Jing sighed and said, "Song Xiang beat Tang Shi in the Imperial College yesterday. The princess found the emperor and asked the emperor to deal with the prime minister. Who is Song Xiang? He is the pillar of the court. How could he deal with it? The emperor could not stop him. The princess criticized Song Xiang for bullying others and liked to commit twelve crimes of power. Song Xiang was loyal and straight, and none of these crimes were true, but the emperor actually believed it and wanted to issue an order to dismiss Song Xiang."

Ruizong was incompetent and could not resist Princess Taiping. It was normal to dismiss Song Jing. Chen Wanrong was not surprised at all. Chen Zairong and the others felt very sorry.

Wu Jing continued: "Before the emperor's decree was issued, the news spread first. The ministers put down their official duties and gathered together in Hanyuan Hall to ask for wrongdoing Song Xiang. However, the people on the princess kept submitting memorials and criticizing Song Xiang's crimes, one more book than the other. The princess only criticized Song Xiang's twelve crimes. Later, Song Xiang actually had more than one hundred crimes, and some of them were really horrifying."

If a person can commit more than a hundred crimes, he is a super genius of crime. He looks too seriously at Song Jing, and Chen Wanrong can't help but be amused. These people are really doing things, without considering the consequences, thinking that with Princess Taiping, they can do whatever they want and add a crime.

This is the terrible thing about the news. This is how false accusations come from. Chen Wanrong kept shaking his head.

Chen Zairong's face changed color because of anger. He pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword. Chen Wanrong was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say, so he pulled his sleeve and Chen Zairong let go of the hilt of the sword.

"The court officials were clearly divided into two factions at once, and they argued endlessly in Hanyuan Palace, and there was no result in a fight until midnight." Wu Jing shook his head and felt regretful: "When the princess saw that she could not convince the public, she had changed her words and was about to ask the emperor to punish Song Xiang for some salary. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the prince stood up and said that so many court officials ignored the government affairs of Song Xiang and argued in Hanyuan Palace for a long time. It was not a crime or a crime. If a minister did this level, what would he have to be the prime minister?"

"The prince is confused!" Chen Zairong stood up suddenly.

Chen Wanrong hurriedly stopped him and shouted, "Shut up, you can't tell me about the matter in the court!" Chen Zairong wanted to say it again, but he gave Chen Wanrong a look and had to sit down angrily.

Chen Zairong said what everyone was thinking, but Zheng Qing and the others kept nodding, just wanted to express their opinions.

"The prince has always been wise, but in this matter..." Wu Jing's eyes were filled with tears. He almost said something he shouldn't say when he was regretful. Fortunately, he woke up quickly and quickly changed his words: "The prince is our hope. We all hope that he will distinguish the matter. But what else can we, those of you who are trying to protect Song Xiang when you speak out? The prince has no objection to the prince. He said that Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. In the prosperous place, Song Xiang is not suffering from the suffering. It is a blessing. A great crime like Song Xiang should be demoted to a remote place, and Lingnan is suitable. The prince responded immediately and the emperor issued an order, and the matter was done."

After talking about it, he felt extremely sad and kept shaking his head: "I am in a bad mood today and don't want to go to court. I took my leave and came to visit Brother Wanrong."

Lingnan was a general term in the Tang Dynasty, referring to the south of the Five Ridges. In the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan not only included the current Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan Island, but also northern Vietnam. Northern Vietnam was called "Jiaozhi" in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and "Annan" in the Tang Dynasty.

This land was developed by Qin Shihuang after he wiped out the six kingdoms and dispatched 500,000 Qin troops to explore. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, this territory has been incorporated into the territory for nearly a thousand years, but its development level is far less than that of the Central Plains and is regarded as a bitter, cold and barren land.

All dynasties have demoted those criminal ministers to Lingnan and suffered the crime. The great talented man Su Dongpo is one of them. Some people are sad and angry at the end of the world. "Looking back at Changnan, separated by thousands of mountains" is the best portrayal of his inner misery.

The prince's move was so cruel that it was outrageous. Wu Jing couldn't help but wipe his tears and was sad. Wu Liu didn't stop pounding his shoulders and comforted him.

"Brother, I won't go east..." Chen Zairong stood up suddenly. Chen Wanrong knew what he was going to say, so he stayed at him and shouted: "Sit down! The prince's move is very clever. What are you making anger?"

Wu Jing has always admired Chen Wanrong very much, but this time he disagreed with his opinion: "Brother Wanrong, where do you start? Last year, Yao Xiang was demoted, and now the court is counting on Song Xiang. When Song Xiang left, the princess had no scruples. Not all those who were watching turned to her? The prince should try to keep Song Xiang. It is the right thing to do."

Yao Xiang refers to Yao Chong, who is collectively known as "Little House Du" and is the driving force of the Kaiyuan prosperous era. Like Song Jing, he did not associate with Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping disliked her and found an excuse to demote him from Chang'an.

Wu Jing's words came to everyone's hearts, and Chen Zairong and the others kept nodding.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, this is how I think about this. Think about it, Song Xiang can certainly check and balance the princess in the court, but it is also a thorn in the princess's eyes. She is always trying to find a way to get rid of Song Xiang."

Wu Jing nodded and said, "That's natural. When the emperor ascended the throne last year, Song Xiang submitted a memorial to ask the princess to go to Luoyang, but the princess was powerful and this proposal failed. Since then, the princess has regarded Song Xiang as a thorn in her eyes."

"You can escape this matter today, but you can't escape tomorrow. Song Xiang will not go for a day and the princess will not give up. It would be better to use this as an opportunity to dismiss Song Xiang and be exiled to the border." Chen Wanrong analyzed it and concluded: "The prince is protecting Song Xiang."

This conclusion was too incredible. Wu Jing stared at Chen Wanrong and didn't believe that this was said from his mouth. Chen Wanrong continued to explain: "It's good to go to Dongdu, and it can make Song Xiang less suffer. But Dongdu is still a place of right and wrong. Can Song Xiang live in Dongdu safely?"

"The Eastern Capital is second only to Chang'an. When Song Xiang left Luoyang, the princess would definitely not give up." Wu Jing nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Xie Wu agrees." Chen Wanrong thanked and analyzed again: "Although Lingnan is a bitter and cold place, Song Xiang can live in peace after leaving, and the princess will no longer make things difficult for him. A loyal and upright person like Song Xiang, and the princess hates him, may not have the idea of ​​putting him to death. As long as he no longer hinders the princess, the princess will let go."

Song Jing passed the imperial examination at the age of 17 and has served in the four dynasties of Emperor Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Zhongzong and Ruizong. Wu Zetian was a favorite of the "Er Zhang" to save the chief secretary Wei Yuanzhong, which became a good story. Wu Zeyu admired him very much and did not blame him for his difficulties. He was a loyal and honest minister, no matter who became the emperor, he would value him. Even if Princess Taiping hates him to the core, he might have regarded him as the candidate for the future prime minister in his heart.

Chen Wanrong's words made sense. Wu Jing nodded and praised: "Brother Wanrong, thank you for waking me up. I was so angry for a day. It would be better to listen to Brother Wanrong's words. Brother Wanrong, how did you think of it?"

Is there anything hard to think about? Chen Wanrong has done similar things. In another time and space, there was a deputy general manager who always looked at an employee in Chen Wanrong's department who didn't like him. This employee was wrong if he did it right, and he was outrageously wrong. He always said bad things about this employee in Chen Wanrong's ear. Chen Wanrong's ears were calloused, so he simply transferred the employee to a position that the vice general manager didn't like to go, and did not wander in front of him. The vice general manager finally lost his eyes and was not upset.

"Mr. Wu has been awarded too much. In the court, saying that you are good may not be good to you. Saying that you are bad may not be harming you. It depends on the situation. The prince is just a strategy." Chen Wanrong naturally would not tell him that he had experienced this.

Zheng Qing slapped and said, "Brother Chen, you are so insightful!"

Wu Jing thought, "The prince is really a wise and wise, far from what we are a minister. Brother Wanrong, what I am worried about is that the journey from Chang'an to Lingnan is long. What if the Duke and Prince are embarrassed by the trouble of Song Xiang?"

Since the prince wants to hide Song Jing from the throne, it means that the prince attaches great importance to Song Jing. In the future, the prince will definitely value him. Wu Jing will naturally worry about his safety.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mr. Wu doesn't have to worry about Song Xiang. Although the prince has good intentions, in the morning, it is the prince who insists on demoting Song Xiang to Lingnan. With the princess's shrewdness, he would not know that this is an excellent opportunity to win over people's expectations. Maybe the princess will give Song Xiang off at the ten-mile long pavilion, say some comfort and other words, and give some money."

"Hao Gao! The princess will definitely do this!" Wu Jing stood up excitedly, unable to stop slapping high and admired her, "Brother Wanrong, I've been taught!"

"The enemy's friend is the enemy, and the enemy's enemy is the friend." No one in the Tang Dynasty said this, not that Princess Taiping did not understand this. If she really went to see her off, even if Song Jing knew her conspiracy, someone would sing a hymn, "The princess is so kind and broad-minded that she is even a mortal enemy, and what else can't be tolerated? She is the wise ruler in the world!" For a moment, her people's hopes would rise sharply.
