Chapter 349: The New Staff of the Royal Palace

Changle Hou Mansion, study secret room.

After listening to Yizi's report, Cai Gao frowned deeply, and said with a twisted beard: "I didn't expect Qian Yu to become so difficult to deal with, I knew that I should have listened to Mr. Lian in the first place, and left something in his body as a precaution." ”

"Dad, according to my observation of Qian Yu, he hasn't changed much." Cai Shu squinted his eyes and said, "The reason why Qian Yu has become tricky should be the person next to him. ”

"Who?"

"That man's face is resolute and cold, although I didn't talk to him, but I found that Qian Yu often asked for that person's opinion."

"Yes, Qian Yu does have such a guy by his side." Cai Rong also thought about it.

"Send someone to investigate his identity." Cai Gao commanded.

Changyang behind him nodded yes.

"Father-in-law." Cai Li suddenly spoke: "Another thing is very strange, during this assassination, a mysterious man suddenly appeared, and he was also preparing to assassinate Qian Yu, that is, he found out that Qian Yu was fake, and he also reminded us to retreat, and I don't know whose person it is." ”

"And this?" Cai Gao was slightly surprised.

"That person is Ma Kongming." Lian Ze said coldly.

Everyone's faces changed instantly.

"Are you sure?" Cai Gao stared at him.

"I've seen Ma Kongming, I'm sure, it's him."

"Isn't Ma Kongming from Hui'an Mansion? Why do you help us? Cai Rong was amazed.

Changyang hurriedly said: "Master Hou, Ma Kongming is trying to frame us!" ”

"Ben Hou also guessed it." Cai GaoY said with a calm face.

"It seems that the Hui'an Mansion wants to provoke us to fight with Qian Hongyu, so that we can sit back and reap the benefits." Cai Shu's eyes flashed with cold light.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Cai Gao's face was so heavy that it was about to drip water.

"What Ben Hou is most worried about now is, if Qian Hongyu knows about this, how will he react?"

Cai Rong's face was a little pale, and he said, "Uncle, why don't you go to the town navy, I'm afraid that Qian Hongyu will really tear his face with you this time." ”

"No, not yet." Cai Gao said in a deep voice:

"Over the years, Ben Hou has planted a lot of nails around Qian Hongyu, as long as he makes a slight move, I will definitely get the news. If he is really not wise to that extent, he has to let outsiders get cheap, and Ben Hou will not bother to care about their Qian family anymore. ”

Cai Shu sighed leisurely: "It depends on what our lord will do." ”

……

In the next few days, Hangzhou was calm, but Cai Gao did not let his guard down, because he learned that Qian Hongyu had often summoned Li Junyi in the middle of the night recently, and although they did it secretly, they couldn't hide it from him.

So at the recent court meeting, even Cai Shu didn't go to attend.

After spending a few days in apprehension, Qian Hongyu still didn't make any moves, which made Cai Gao very confused, but Changyang's words reminded him.

"Master Hou, there is still more than a month before the Qilin Conference, and Qian Hongyu has spent a lot of effort on this matter, so his subordinates think that he is likely to plan to do it after the conference."

"Not bad." Cai Gao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now that talented people from all over the world are gathered, now with the old man's face, the Qilin Conference will definitely not be possible, which will make him lose his trust in the world." ”

Since the other party will make a move after preparing for the Qilin Conference, Cai Gao has nothing to worry about, because after the Qilin Conference, Wu Yueguo will be in his hands!

……

Anle Palace.

Lu Yuan was discussing yesterday's events with Qian Yu, yesterday they went to Zhenji Temple, and listened to the monks in the temple talk about Cai Rong's recent instructions for his subordinates to forcibly occupy the monk's field, and then Qian Yu stepped forward and recaptured the monk's field for the monks.

Cai Rong didn't even dare to show his face this time, so he was defeated, which made Qian Yu extremely happy.

"Since Xiao Wang met Mr., it can be said that nothing goes well, Mr. Xiao Wang Jing has a cup." Qian Yu said sincerely.

Lu Yuan clinked glasses with him, drank them all, and said with a smile: "Since I met the prince, I have also solved a big problem in my heart, and I will also give the prince a cup in the future." ”

As he spoke, he poured wine for himself and Qian Yu.

Qian Yu thought that Lu Yuan was talking about the Taoist temple, and clinked glasses with him, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, the Taoist temple will be built in a while." ”

"The prince not only loves the people, but also worships the Buddha and worships the Tao, he can really be called the first sage king of my Wu Yue country, and some people have begun to praise the name of the king and the king!"

The one who spoke was an elegant-faced scribe named Wang Mo.

Recently, there have been many literati and writers who have served in the Anle Palace, and since meeting Lu Yuan, Qian Yu has also become interested in talents, and has accepted some literati who feel good as Fushang Qingke.

Among them, Wang Mo and Liang Qing are the two people he likes the most, and they often take them with him.

Liang Qing shook it with a folding fan and said with a smile: "Brother Wang's words are wrong. ”

"Isn't he right?" Qian Yu was smug when he heard this, and frowned when he heard the words.

Liang Qing said with a smile: "The prince is obviously the first virtuous king since ancient and modern times!" ”

"You're going too far!" Qian Yu laughed and was overjoyed.

Lu Yuan shook his head secretly, Qian Yu is really not the material to do big things.

What gave him some headache was that the two new staff members actually formed a small alliance and excluded him together, and the reason was simply because he refused to invite the two of them to drink with him.

Fortunately, he is not Qian Yuzhen's staff, otherwise he is afraid that he will live in intrigue every day in the future, and he may not be able to fight them, after all, Qian Yu seems to be the kind of person who likes to listen to good words.

At the dinner table, because Wang Mo and the others kept patting Qian Yu's ass, the atmosphere was very lively, and Qian Yu kept smiling with a fat face.

Suddenly, Wang Mo noticed that Li Ruozhen had been eating by himself with a straight face, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Miss Du, don't patronize yourself to eat, toast the prince." ”

Li Ruozhen was neither angry nor refuted, and directly ignored him.

As long as she said the last sentence, Wang Mo was sure to provoke her and provoke the prince's displeasure with her, but she didn't speak, which made Wang Mo unable to speak for a while.

He is a smart man, and he knows that his current status in Qian Yu's heart is not as good as these two people, and if he continues to provoke, the prince may blame himself.

So he stopped talking, thinking of other ideas in his mind, which could quickly improve his status in the palace, or suppress the status of Du Xuan and the others.

At this moment, the next person came to report that King Wu Yue summoned Qian Yu.

Wang Mo sighed: "The king just summoned the prince this morning, and now I see you again, it seems that the king can't leave the prince for a moment." ”

"But no, if there is no prince to help us get the idea, our lord will have to worry too." Liang Qing echoed.

"Alright, don't be a sycophant." Qian Yu smiled and waved his hand, and said to Lu Yuan, "Sir, then I will enter the palace." ”

With that, he got up and left the lobby.

After he left, Liang Qing and Wang Mo talked happily, as if Lu Yuan and Li Ruozhen did not exist.

Lu Yuan was also too lazy to eat, and said to the palace housekeeper: "Steward Yang, please use the name of the prince to help me invite all the four major oirans over." ”

Originally, he had planned to use these four people to find Lan Liuyi for a long time, but he had been too busy recently, and it has been delayed until now.

"Yes." Steward Yang was about to leave after receiving the order.

"Wait." Wang Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Du, have you ever mentioned this matter to the prince?" ”

"Nope."

"Since there is none, then you can't just borrow the name of the prince." Wang Mo said coldly.

"Yes, we are staff members, and we are dedicated to doing things for the prince, how can we use the name of the prince to do our own private affairs at will?" Liang Qing agreed.

"I'll tell the prince about this." After Lu Yuan said this, he left the lobby, too lazy to argue with these two people.

Li Ruozhen silently followed.

"Steward Yang, you don't have to do this, when the prince comes back, I'll ask for instructions." Wang Mo commanded.

"You're teaching the housekeeper to do things?" Steward Yang said coldly.

After speaking, he strode out of the lobby.

Wang Mo was furious and said to his back: "Okay, surnamed Yang, you dare to be rude to me, when the prince comes back, I will tell him!" ”

There are four courtyards in Anle Wang's Mansion, Qian Yu arranged one for Lu Yuan and Li Ruozhen alone, and the other Qing guests lived in the other room.

Because he was worried about Qian Yu's safety, in recent days, Lu Yuan would live here.

In the courtyard, he quietly admired the flowers, and Li Ruozhen stood behind him with his chest crossed.

"Senior brother, how long are we going to stay here?"

Lu Yuan heard the meaning of her words and sighed, "I don't like it here either. Bear with me, if it weren't for Qian Yu, our plan wouldn't have progressed so quickly, in fact, I am still very grateful to him in my heart. ”

Li Ruoxin moved, knowing that Lu Yuan was talking about the plan to attack Hangzhou, and recently Lu Yuan often asked Qi Zhen to send letters to Su Qingzhe, and also sent a personal guard back to Hui'an Mansion, obviously the plan was going on step by step.

According to her observations, the plan began when Lu Yuan asked Qian Yu to go to the palace to tell Qian Hongyu about Cai Gao's conspiracy, and then he tricked Qian Yu into provoking Cai Gao and inducing the other party to assassinate.

Then when the assassination was carried out, let Ma Kongming join in, so that King Wu Yue thought that Cai Gao was colluding with Hui'an Mansion, and he took step after step to deepen the conflict between King Wu Yue and Cai Gao.

As for how King Wu Yue will deal with Cai Gao, since Su Qingzhe has often been summoned by King Wu Yue recently, it is likely that he is discussing ways to deal with Cai Gao.

Su Qingzhe's idea must have been discussed with Lu Yuan, so this method to deal with Cai Gao is the key.

Her analysis has come to this point for the time being, and as for what method Su Qingzhe planned for King Wu Yue, it still needs to be further observed and analyzed.

At this time, she heard a sound of footsteps, and looked towards the gate of the courtyard, only to see Steward Yang walking over to this side, followed by several women.

"Mr. Du, the four Oirans have been brought." Steward Yang said.
