?The di, Yuwen Wen was talking to Di Ling. The agreed time had passed. Xi Sheng, who was supposed to visit, did not appear. Then the situation was a bit subtle. The two people talking now were in a bad mood.

Di Ling Xie Hua felt that something was going to happen, and Xi Sheng did not come, which means something went wrong with the itinerary. Maybe it was deliberately delaying to anger Yu Wen Wen, or maybe there was an accident halfway.

Actually, that was not a surprise. Xie Hua was worried that Xi Sheng would be assassinated a few days ago, so it was logically expected. He had an illusion that he would have a false alarm today. Yuwen Wen and Xi Sheng both had to be fully exhausted, but there was still a problem.

"Oh, what's wrong with this Xi Erlang? Could it be that I am enjoying myself? It's time to go." Yuwen Wen said, "Is it because I got lost halfway? Or I'm changing my mind and not coming?"

"Envoy Yuwen, Mr. Xilang may have been delayed because of something, please don't take it to heart." Xie Hua replied. Seeing Yuwen Wen smiling, he felt extremely helpless.

"This dark clouds are everywhere. It seems that something big is going to happen. Could it be that there is a monster in Ye City that is causing trouble. God wants to use heavenly thunder to kill the monster?"

"The envoy was joking. Yecheng is the capital, and there will be monsters under the emperor's feet."

"It's hard to say, in Chang'an City, Yang Jian, the thief who stole the country, almost killed Bai Sunset by thunder. I think that there might be a demon king in Ye City today. It's hard to say such a thing, right?"

"Ah... the messenger was joking, joking..."

"Xie Diling has lived in Yecheng for a long time. I want to know a lot of stories. How about letting me know this officer for a long time?"

"What the officials know about is street rumors and vulgarity, so how can they get into the ears of the envoy?"

"The stories I heard from the palace and His Majesty are also street rumors. Could it be that Xie Diling is pointing out..."

"Don't misunderstand me, I have no intention of this!" Xie Hua was so anxious that he was in chaos. The Xiyang County Duke was very good at talking, so he took it to the ditch when he was not careful.

"Since there is no such intention, let's talk about it, what interesting things are there in Yecheng?"

Xie Hua had no choice but to talk about all kinds of strange stories he knew. As a decree, he would pick him up and send him to greet people with a smile on his face. Xie Hua's words were always smooth and he would not offend others.

His ability to observe his expressions and expressions was not very high, but it was not low. However, Xie Hua felt that it was difficult to talk to Yuwen Wen. It was not that the other party was vulgar, but that it was not appropriate to adjust. He was often amused by the other party during a good conversation.

'It is said that he was teasing Yang Jian in the hall, and he really didn't know what it means...' Xie Hua lamented in his heart. Yuwen Wen even dared to tease the prime minister, so he accepted his fate, but he was still quite disdainful in his heart: 'What kind of climate can such a person become?'

Seeing Xie Hua surrender, Yu Wenwen was in a good mood, so he talked a lot and kept looking for topics to chat with Xie Hua.

You can listen to strange stories and other things. Of course, the main purpose is to delay time and buy time for Zhang Dingfa who is going out to perform assassination missions. When Zhang Dingfa takes people back from the tunnel to the residence, then there will be perfect evidence of absenteeism.

Xi Sheng, who is coming to visit the residence today, will definitely have something wrong, and it must also happen. What happens will not be diarrhea or a broken carriage. In order to achieve the expected effect, it must be assassination, and the commander behind the scenes is Yuwen Wen.

So if something happens to Xi Sheng on the way to and from the residence today, the first suspect is Yuwen Wen. In view of this, from Yuwen Wen to every guard, the entourage will have no handle.

Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong stopped talking, gathered their entourage and stayed in the yard where they were staying. After a while, Xi Sheng came, he "understanded" each other, and then he drank and talked about the vulgarity.

The conflict outside Shouchun City, Yangzhou was triggered by Tian Yilong's repeated glance at Xi Sheng. Zhou Faming was angry and scolded the "Island Barbarians" by the other party, and the situation worsened, and finally Yuwen Wen took the initiative to slap him in the face.

Xi Sheng visited the door this time and said he wanted to apologize to Yuwen Wen. In fact, he had to meet Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong, who were in the residence, so both of them were waiting honestly.

Yuwen Wen's subordinates were also "all" in the mansion, so as not to make some people suspicious, and worried that he would send people out to do things, and that if something happened, it would be difficult for everyone to deal with it.

But his subordinates really went out to do things. If they were too big, they might be able to kill Xi Sheng and then slip back to the residence from the tunnel. No one would catch the handle.

The calculation is very good, but Yuwen Wen dare not be too optimistic. As the saying goes, "I will lose before I can win." What should I do if the matter is exposed?

What to do? Cold salmon! The person who sent out to assassinate Xi Sheng was arrested, and then followed the clues to him. If the situation worsened, Prime Minister Yuchi would definitely get angry, and then it was time for Yuwen Wen to perform:

"My dad is Yuwen Liang!"

The typical face of Guan Moudai is still the kind that makes people grit their teeth and want to kill them quickly, but it is very consistent with the outside world's "view" about Yuwen Wen, let alone now he can be slightly "confident".

Yes, it was my commander! I forced them to go! Xi Sheng wanted to castrate me, so I wanted to kill him!

Isn’t it just being slapped in the face? Isn’t it just being sneered by people all over the world? I want me to blame my subordinates? I have no way!

Yuwen Wen arranged for his subordinates to do things, and one of the rules he followed was "I will take the blame, and I will die." His subordinates went through life and death for him, or did "wet life" or offended others, and then he had to take the blame.

Nowadays, there are so many chaos. If you don’t do this, who will work hard for you!

He has never been an official in modern times, but after reading the news, he knows that the first instinct of a bureaucrat is to "pass the blame". This is the case with thousands of years of officialdom. It would be fine if it was a normal season. Now the dynasty is in a turmoil and his subordinates are not fools. The result of his courage to blame is that no one is willing to work hard.

It is not Yuwen Wen’s strange hobby of being self-indulgent or taking the blame, but it is really a lesson from the past, and he must be kept in mind.

Taking the situation in the late Ming Dynasty that many people are concerned about as an example, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to work hard to turn the tide, but he was powerless, and his "leadership art" was criticized by later generations.

Example 1. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, in order to strengthen the defense of the Lugou Bridge, the main throat road in the southwest of Beijing, the court officials suggested that a small town be built at the Lugou Bridge as a bridgehead. The cost reported by the "relevant yamen" was 320,000 taels of silver.

Chongzhen ordered Wu Jun, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, to estimate the price again. As a result, Wu Jun estimated the price to be 149,500 taels of silver, which was nearly 170,000 taels less than the "relevant yamen". The emperor was very happy and appointed Wu Jun to preside over the construction of the Lugou Bridgehead.

After three years of construction, the bridgehead was built as Gongji City, which is the Wanping City in later generations. The actual cost was 132,800 taels, which was more than 17,000 taels compared to Wu Jun’s own budget.

Wu Jun was very happy to save the imperial court more than 17,000 taels of silver, and the emperor was also very happy, but some people were unhappy: the project that could have been paid for 320,000 taels, you only spent nearly 150,000 taels to get it done, and the 170,000 taels of white silver, everyone won’t get any points!

The interest group counterattacked wildly, and nitpicked during acceptance, saying that Wu Jun cut corners, and said that he had gained money and swallowed more than 10,000 taels of silver. The emperor was angry when the crowd was in a state of uproar and public opinion was in a hurry to turn the blame and "subsidize" Wu Jun.

Wu Jun lost his official position and lost all his money, and returned it to the court with enough "corruption income". From then on, no fool dared to block the interest groups' swallowing of the national treasury.

Example 2: Due to the unfavorable war in Liaodong, Chongzhen felt that he could tentatively ease relations with the Qing Dynasty and let the court take a breath to deal with the peasant army first, so he secretly asked the Minister of War Chen Xinjia to be responsible for the peace talks.

As a result, the censor reported that Chongzhen threw all his responsibilities and Chen Xinjia, the scapegoat, lost his official position and life.

In order to make a good reputation and strength, Chongzhen frequently turned the blame, and Li Banghua, who was rectifying the Beijing camp, was also in trouble. Later, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the emperor had to make up his mind to move south and preserve half of the Ming Dynasty, but he hoped that some ministers would come forward to propose moving the capital so that he would not be said to be a fleeing emperor.

However, no one is a fool like Wu Jun, Chen Xinjia, and Li Banghua, but there is no more later.

Yuwen Wen didn't want to be desperate at critical moments, so taking the blame was his choice: what is the leader used for? The leader is used to assume leadership responsibilities! As the commander behind the scenes, he is ready to be held accountable.

As for the negative impact caused by the incident, Yuwen Wen also calculated that Xi Sheng instructed people to castrate him in the Qiuguan Prison. This matter was obvious. Although there was no evidence, it did not mean that the superiors could not guess it.

Xi Erlang is on the first day of the lunar month, but Yuwen Erlang is on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. At worst, the matter will turn into "dog bites" by the men of powerful families, allowing the people in the world to watch the fun.

This will definitely cause a loss of reputation, and it doesn't matter to Yuwen Wen. As a man, he is so timid.

Even if you don’t dare to kill someone, you dare to take revenge? If you don’t accept life and death, do it if you don’t accept it!

"Encourt?" Xie Hua asked carefully. As he was talking, he saw Yuwen Wen seemed to be sneering. His first reaction was that the other party was going to get angry, so he quickly "please say goodbye".

"Ah? Ah...when is the time now? Why haven't Xilangjun arrived yet?"

"Empress, why don't the officials send someone to inquire?"

"Well, then there will be a mansion order."

While the two were talking, Zhang Dingfa came from a corridor. When Xie Hua saw him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, Yuwen Wen was also secretly relieved.

"Encourt, I will arrange for someone to go to Xifu to inquire." After Xie Hua finished speaking, he took his leave, while Yuwen Wen walked towards his yard as if nothing had happened, and Zhang Dingfa followed closely behind.

......

"Who will do it first?" Yuwen Wen asked. He asked both himself and Zhang Dingfa and Zheng Tong present. Now there are only three of them in the room.

"Is it because Xi Sheng's enemy has taken action?" Zheng Tong guessed, "Although it has nothing to do with us, I am afraid that I will become the first suspect. No matter what Xi Sheng's situation is, the Qiu government will come to find out."

Zhang Dingfa, who was ordered to assassinate Xi Sheng, came back safely and brought back good news: Before he could do anything, Xi Sheng was assassinated at the gate of his mansion, but the other party's life and death are unknown now.

Zhang Dingfa only saw chaos at the gate of the mansion. It seemed that the assassin fled on a horse, and many people chased him. However, it is certain that Xi Sheng would not come today, so Yuwen Wen was studying who the assassin was.

In any case, Yuwen Wen would like to praise: A righteous man!

"Encourt, although we know that the assassin has nothing to do with the envoy, we have to be wary of someone taking the opportunity to attack..." Zheng Tong said, Yuwen Wen frowned and asked what a clever plan he had.
