Glancing at his son who was kneeling on the ground, a flash of kindness flashed across Wei Guogong's face, and he said: "Go down! Go back and stay with your mother. Don't leave the house until this matter is completed!"

"Yes, father!" Xu Wenwu did not ask his father what to do. He knew that at this time, he could no longer participate. However, Xu Wenwu was not worried. He was the third son of the Duke of Wei, and his father would definitely be able to protect him.

Own.

Xu Wenjue on the side was not as optimistic as his younger brother. He frowned and looked at his father and said hesitantly: "Father, what are you going to do about this matter?"

"Do it? Why do it? Just watch! All we have to do now is watch, we are just clowns, and we think we have all the plans. Then they will know what it means to shoot themselves in the foot. Don't stay either.

You're here, go back! You don't have to worry about things at home, I'm not dead yet! Duke Wei's mansion is not something anyone can touch if they want!" After glaring at his son, Duke Wei sneered.

Nodding, Xu Wenjue stood up and saluted Wei Guogong, and said: "Then my son has resigned!" He turned his eyes to Mu Tianbo aside and said with a smile: "Brother Mu Xian, I asked you to watch a joke today. Change it."

Brother Riyu, go ahead and take you to the Qinhuai River to see it!"

Before Mu Tianbo said anything, Wei Guogong on the side glared and said: "Get out!"

Xu Wenjue quickly shrank his head, winked at Mu Tianbo, turned around and ran out quickly.

"Dogs are naughty, good nephew, don't take it to heart!" Although Wei Guogong said modestly, the pride on his face was obvious. His sons are very up to date, Xu Wenjue, needless to say, Xu Wenwu is also very responsible.

Although he is young and his mind is not that advanced, he will become a talent sooner or later.

"Master Guo is so humble. Brother Wen Jue is a great man of his generation. My nephew admires him very much. Brother Wen Wu is a gentleman who is magnanimous and magnanimous, which is rare in this world. Duke Wei Guo really teaches his son well!" Mu Tianbo naturally would not disappoint Duke Wei, and his face was full of sincerity.

road.

He laughed loudly several times. Although Wei Guogong spoke modestly, his expression was as proud as possible.

"Master Guo, what are you really not going to do about the matter of the civil and military virtuous brother?" Mu Tianbo looked at Wei Guo Gong and said with a somewhat strange expression on his face.

"What do you think, nephew? It seems superfluous to do anything at this time. The fundamental way is to remain unchanged in response to all changes!" Wei Guogong's expression flickered, but his tone was firm.

Slowly shaking his head, Mu Tianbo said with a smile: "The Duke's words are reasonable, and it is indeed not easy to act rashly at this time. However, the civil and military brothers are involved after all, and it will be troublesome to trace them in the future, even if the emperor is willing to be lenient.

It will also damage the reputation of the Duke of Wei. My nephew has an idea, please consider it!"

Wei Guogong suddenly became interested. What Mu Tianbo said was exactly what he was worried about, and he quickly asked: "At this time, it is impossible to hide this matter even if you want to, and you will definitely not be able to cover it up. The best thing is

The way is to uncover him. However, this matter cannot be done by the Duke of the State. Leave it to the Emperor to find a solution. My nephew feels that the prefect of Yangzhou and Guan Yingzhen have already made a deal, and Beijing may have already reacted."

He nodded in agreement. This Wei Guogong had already thought of it, and this matter must not be hidden. He looked at Mu Tianbo and said in a deep voice: "What can my nephew do?"

"My nephew heard that during the Liaodong case, the emperor issued an imperial edict. As long as the first person to stand up and admit it, he could be exempted. The Duke of Guo could just use this edict to tell the whole story.

Write it down. But the tone should be sincere, and it is best to be a confession. The most important thing is to write down how worried the Duke is about this matter. I hope that the Emperor will come soon.

Send someone to solve this matter! In addition, the Duke of Wei can mobilize the wealthy households in Nanjing to contribute money to relieve the people. This can also be written. But the last one is for the reputation of the Duke of Wei, so it is best to let the third son go

To do this, ask that servant to go too!" Mu Tianbo looked at Duke Wei with a smile. He told his own idea and looked at Duke Wei confidently.

Smiling and nodding, Wei Guogong praised loudly: "What a great idea, my nephew is a great talent! This case will be handled according to my nephew's instructions. In the future, after the case is completed, people can spread the true news. I want to give it to you."

The Duke of Wei's government is smearing him, they made a wrong calculation!"

"Wei Fu, come in! Stop sneaking around outside. Where is Zhang Qi's housekeeper? Bring him in!" He also has to take care of his brother-in-law, Wei Guogong, otherwise a fire in the backyard will be very troublesome.

"My lord, your name is Xiao!" With a flattering smile, Wei Fu walked in quickly without any embarrassment on his face.

After glaring at Wei Fu, Wei Guogong said seriously: "Go find Zhang Qi's housekeeper and take a look at his affairs!"

"My lord, Zhang Shoubei's housekeeper was called to the back by the second lady, as if he wanted to inquire!" Wei Fu felt helpless and treated Wei Guozheng fairly.

Bang! He slapped the table and stood up. Wei Guogong said angrily: "How decent is it? Is this something she should ask about? Go find the housekeeper and tell the second lady not to deal with things that shouldn't be dealt with!" Wait until Wei

After Fu went out, Wei Guogong turned his eyes to Mu Tianbo, and said with a slightly red face: "Let my nephew see the joke!"

Mu Tianbo looked very serious this time and said in a deep voice: "My lord, my nephew is actually very envious of me. We, the lord's family, have been rich and noble for many generations and do not lack anything, but the family ties of ordinary people are even more

Difficult. As the saying goes, once you enter the noble family, you will be deeply troubled.

Hai, but is our Qi family comparable? The Duke's palace is very big, but the family ties are very weak. These days, my nephew has been staying at the Duke of Wei's palace, and he has seen a loving mother and a filial son, brothers and friends respectful to each other, and the rule of the Duke.

We have a good family! My nephew not only admires me, but also feels deep envy!"

Seeing Mu Tianbo's serious look, Duke Wei nodded. He also knew some things about the Duke of Guizhou's mansion, so it was not surprising that Mu Tianbo had such an idea. Without getting too entangled in this issue, Duke Wei turned his attention to the people who walked in.

Wei Fu and another middle-aged man.

"Little Zhang Ping has met the Duke!" The middle-aged man knelt down after coming in, with a bit of anxiety on his face.

Nodding, Wei Guogong said expressionlessly: "Tell us about Zhang Qi! What happened? Why was he arrested by Jin Yiwei's people? What did he do?"

Zhang Qi told the whole story without hiding anything, including how Zhang Qi colluded with civil servants, accepted bribes, opened doors for smugglers, etc.

It turned out that Zhang Cheng sent people to the prison that night, intending to put the seriously injured President Yang to death and frame Jin Yiwei for it. However, his thinking was too simple. How could Jin Yiwei make such a mistake? As soon as those people arrived in the prison

He was caught.

Jin Yiwei was not polite to these people. All kinds of severe punishments were used, and within half a day everything was asked. Zhang Qi, as the direct envoy, was immediately arrested by Jin Yiwei.

"How is it now? Can you see Zhang Qi?" Wei Guogong couldn't help but cursed the idiot, but he still suppressed his anger and asked.

"My lord, the entire prison has been taken over by Jin Yiwei, and outsiders cannot enter at all. However, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Zhou Feng sent word, asking Xiao Xiao to quickly find a way to suppress this matter. Beizhen

The people from the Fusi didn't interrogate the master, but they thought about it quickly. I found a lot of people who were friends with the master, but no one was willing to help. The people from the Zhejiang governor told me to come to Wei Guogong, saying that Wei Guogong would definitely be able to do it.

My Lord! My Lord, for the sake of my second wife, I beg you to be my Lord!" Zhang Ping kept kowtowing and praying in his mouth.

Bang! Wei Guogong no longer remembers how many times he slapped the table, and said angrily: "Why do these people have to drag me down? What on earth are they going to do?" He stood up and walked back and forth in the room several times.

Zhang Ping waved his hand and said: "Go down!"

After the people left, Wei Guogong slowly sat back on the chair, glanced at Mu Tianbo with a complicated expression, and said: "These people are really lingering. They want to push my father to be the opposite of the emperor!"

"My lord, the matter is not that simple. The Duke of Wei has been in Nanjing for a long time and is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He is also loyal to the emperor. If you want to drive a wedge between the Duke of Wei and the emperor, this matter is not that simple. My nephew seems to be doing this.

I want people to know that the Duke of Wei is lawless and does evil things! If the matter of the Third Young Master and this incident are publicized, the reputation of the Duke of Wei will be ruined. If someone impeaches the Duke of Wei in front of the emperor, and takes the opportunity to attack the Duke of Wei for presiding over the military system

Reform matters are really troublesome!" There was a trace of worry on Mu Tianbo's face, these people are so cruel, one move after another!

"They are killing two birds with one stone. It would be best if they can pull the Duke over. If they can't pull the Duke over, they will stink the Duke. The best thing is to knock down the Duke!" Wei Guogong said angrily with a bit of ferocity on his face.

Slowly shaking his head, Mu Tianbo said in a deep voice: "It is impossible to overthrow the Duke of Guo, and they will not do that. They just want to take away the military power of the Duke of Guo, or settle for the next best thing and let him

The emperor has changed people to preside over this military reform. My nephew believes that they must have a way to influence the emperor to choose new candidates, and this may be their purpose."

Sighing, Wei Guogong said in a deep voice: "These people are really insidious and vicious, they are too despicable!"

"My lord, now is not the time to lament about this matter. We must write down the plan for the present. Write down both things. Firstly, it will show that my lord is selfless and magnanimous. Secondly, it will give the emperor a reminder."
