Looking at Cao Xin, Li Ze laughed heartily.

"Cao Zhang's performance in Fenyin this time is really amazing! forced Xue Jungou to jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Cao Xin said: "To tell the truth, I didn't expect him to be so enduring, this kid really hasn't suffered since he was a child!" When he returned, he fell ill. ”

"It's out of the way, right?" Li Ze asked with concern.

"Nothing serious. Jin Yuan personally went to Zhenzhou to see it, and it would be good to recuperate for a while. Still has less bitterness from snacks, Cao Biao and Cao Leopard are much older than him, and this time they have suffered more, and the two of them have nothing to do, just lose some weight. The daughter-in-law said that when Cao Zhang is well, she will force him to refine his body! Cao Xin said.

Li Ze said with a smile: "Li Yu is a great expert in military training, and with her to supervise the implementation, Cao Zhang will have a hard time in the future." ”

"Practice well, practice well." Cao Xin stroked his beard and said: "Now he doesn't listen to my words much, but what his daughter-in-law says, he is obedient." ”

"Is this a daughter-in-law who forgot her father?" Li Ze looked at Cao Xin with a smile: "Cao Gong is not angry? ”

"What's there to be angry about?" Cao Xin shook his head and said, "By the way, Li Xiang, where is Xue Hong from, have you dug out any useful information?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Ze nodded and said: "Xue Hong used to be in charge of the outside business in the Xue clan in Fenyin, although he didn't know some of the core secrets, but there were some things that couldn't get around him. He also has his own channels and can know some unsightly things. After Tian Bo took over, he has sorted out a lot of things, including not only corruption and bribery, but also a lot of murders such as property seizure and murder. Any one piece can be used as a breakthrough. ”

Cao Xin smiled cruelly: "As long as you grab the vines that are emerging and touch them all the way, you can always find big melons one by one." Over the years, the Xue family has created a lot of evil, as long as the gap is opened, the storage will be like a flood bursting the embankment, and there will be more and more big cases. ”

forced his son to catch mice in Fenyin to satisfy his hunger, climb the ice and lie in the snow, and suffered a lot, Cao Xin didn't say anything in his mouth, and he had long wanted to arrest Xue Jun and crush his bones and ashes.

"The internal guards are already investigating." Li Ze chuckled.

"In this matter, I'm afraid it's not easy to get evidence, right?" Cao Xin asked, after all, everything that happened here happened in Hedong, and if you want to get evidence in the other party's lair, just look at what happened to Cao Zhang, and the difficulty can be seen.

"Of course, there are difficulties, but the way the internal guards work is a little different from the way other departments handle cases." Li Zedao: "In Fenyin, the internal guards still have some strength. Moreover, Xue Jun's treatment of Xue Hong this time was too ruthless and unsophisticated, which would also make some different voices appear within them. Lips and teeth are cold! ”

"That's right!"

"There's no rush in this matter, take your time." Li Ze said: "Let this flood rise more, so that when the embankment is broken, the erosion will be more violent, if the time can wash the east of the river in one go, that is the best!" ”

"I understand." Cao Xindao. "Li Xiang, Gao Xiangsheng has arrived in Wuyi, he, how to arrange it?"

"I'll see him first!" Li Zedao.

"It's good that this person has the ability, has connections and prestige outside, and if he can really do things for us, it is the most powerful help. But what I'm most worried about is that he is not old-fashioned, and he is stupid and loyal, such a person is the most difficult to deal with. ”

Li Ze nodded, Cao Xin was telling the truth, such a person is the most headache. A guy like Gao Xiangsheng, if he makes a bad move, will definitely be more lethal than Xue Ping and Han Qi. Xue Han and the others, although they did not deal with Li Ze, still stood on the side of the overall situation, and while maintaining the same basic position, they confronted Li Ze in a bright and bright manner. The means used can be seen and touched.

And Gao Xiangsheng, who has been fighting on the dark front for a long time, has the same means as Gongsun Changming, and it is not easy to figure out his path at all.

Just when Li Ze and Cao Xin were discussing Gao Xiangsheng, Xue Ping and Han Qi were also putting wine for Gao Xiangsheng to catch the wind.

"General Gao, your injuries should rest for a while." Looking at the unrecognizable Gao Xiangsheng, Xue Ping sighed.

"I know my injuries myself, my life has been picked up, and I can't die if I die, but the origin is damaged, and this life is like this." Gao Xiangsheng is very open-minded, "It's good to be able to pick up a life, so naturally we have to hurry up and do a little more." Always lying there and thinking about it will not benefit the overall situation. ”

"It's really hard now." Han Qi poured wine for Gao Xiangsheng and said, "Seeing that His Majesty was in good health, but suddenly such a thing happened, to be honest, I doubt that Li Ze has done something here?" ”

"If there is no evidence, don't speculate." Xue Ping shook his head and said: "And Your Majesty is in Zhenzhou, and the people around him are all old people brought out from Chang'an, and their bodies have always been taken care of by Imperial Doctor Tao. ”

"Imperial Doctor Tao is also dead now, even if there is any problem, I can't find out at all, but I still have the idea of calling up all the medical cases of His Majesty earlier and copying a copy." Han Qi said: "General Gao is a great expert, you can take these things away and study them to see if you can get anything." ”

Gao Xiangsheng nodded silently.

"General Gao is coming back this time, what are you going to do?" Xue Ping asked: "Han Qi and I have the idea of asking Li Xiang to restore the prison guards, and you will be the general of the prison guards and rebuild the prison guards." ”

"Now that the intelligence system is all in the hands of Li Ze's people, it makes us extremely uncomfortable, and we must contain it, but now that we have General Gao, we can rest assured." Han Qi smiled: "Compared to you, Tian Bo can only be regarded as a toddler doll. ”

Gao Xiangsheng drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass, and said, "Before I came to see you, I first went to see the left servant Wang Duo. ”

"Don't talk about this person, it's infuriating." Han Qi said angrily: "With his status and status, if he is willing to come out to do things, it will definitely make our strength soar, but he is afraid of Li Ze's power and retreats, we want to introduce his son to be an official, but he also refused, but instead sent all his sons to Wuwei Academy, he has completely fallen to Li Ze and is not trustworthy." ”

"It's one thing to believe it or not." Gao Xiangsheng said: "I went to see him, just to hear his analysis of the situation, he has no ambition, but his vision is still there." ”

"What did he say?" Xue Ping asked.

"It's impossible to reinstate the guards." Gao Xiangsheng said: "This point, Wang Servant is consistent with my judgment, the original prison guard system in the north has been fully integrated into the internal guard controlled by Tian Bo, in fact, after I recovered most of my injuries, I have made some attempts, but without exception, all of them have failed." ”

Xue Ping and Han Qi both changed color slightly.

"We're a little different from yours in this business. I have lost the first move, and if I want to intervene again, it is very difficult. Gao Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Even if Li Xiang appoints me as the Imperial History Taichung Cheng on the spot and replaces Tian Bo's position, it is impossible for me to control the internal guards, at most I will be a clay sculpture Bodhisattva in the Imperial History Terrace, and I can't do anything." ”

"Then what is General Gao's plan next?" Xue Ping was a little disappointed.

"I'm going back to Chang'an." Gao Xiangsheng drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and his tone was resolute.

"What? Do you want to go back to that tiger and wolf den? Xue Ping was taken aback: "Don't forget, where did you just come from and survive, and then go back to the net?" ”

Gao Xiangsheng pointed to his face, "Xue Shangshu, who can recognize me as Gao Xiangsheng when I look like this?" In the north, in fact, there is no place for me to stand, even if Li Xiang arranges a place for me, it can only be used for retirement. If I really want to do something, I can only go to Chang'an, to Luoyang, to the south, which is the base camp of the enemy, but it is conducive to me to do more things. What I can't do in the north, I can do anywhere. Only when the army conquers Luoyang, Chang'an, can I really occupy a place and really speak with weight. ”

"It's just too dangerous." Han Qi looked at Gao Xiangsheng with some admiration.

"That's what we're going to do. Dead birds face the sky, immortal for thousands of years. Gao Xiangsheng said with a smile: "What's more, if I take the initiative to go to the south, Li Xiang will be greatly relieved to think about it, and it will not cause much internal friction internally, in this case, even if I make more requests, he will definitely meet me." I also get more help when I'm working in the south. ”

"I see what you mean." Xue Ping raised his glass, "Then I can only wish you all the best, show your strength in the south, and when we attack the south one day, you can be our greatest help." You can rest assured that if something happens to Your Majesty, we will definitely ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound. ”

Gao Xiangsheng smiled and nodded.

The next day, Li Ze looked at Gao Xiangsheng with some surprise. Gao Xiangsheng's request was very different from his original idea.

"General Gao, you have made great contributions to the country, I originally wanted to arrange for you to raise your body in a noble position for a period of time before you come out to do things, you are going to the south now, can your body be in time?"

"Time is running out." Gao Xiangsheng arched his hand and said: "Li Xiang, now Chang'an and Luoyang still have an opportunity to take advantage of, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to meddle." Gao still has some foundations in the south, and at this time, connect them as soon as possible, otherwise the line will be completely broken after a long time. ”

Li Ze nodded silently, but looking at Gao Xiangsheng's eyes, it was a little complicated.
