No one knows what Liu Xie is planning, but at this moment in Xun Yu's house, there is also a mysterious guest who is discussing with him in the study.

After a cup of tea, Xun Yu's worries between his eyebrows were not alleviated at all, but even stronger than just now, staring at Zhong Xuan, who was wearing an ochre robe opposite, and sighed repeatedly: "Yuan Chang, you really shouldn't do this, you also know Cao Pi's temperament, on the day of Chunhua, you were simply seeking skin with the tiger!" ”

Zhong Xuan smiled, and the only apology disappeared: "Ling Jun, in fact, from another point of view, the eldest prince may not be what he shows on weekdays, at least he has the same purpose as me on that day." ”

"Alas!"

Xun Yu sighed, he could only keep shaking his head, he really didn't know how to evaluate Zhong Xuan's behavior, Cao Pi tested the emperor to win him over as his own strength expansion, and Zhong Xuan wanted to find a position with a future in the emperor's behavior, the purpose of the two of them is reasonable.

It's just that Zhong Yuan is afraid that he has ignored one point, if Cao Pi really wants to win over the emperor, even if you Zhong Yuanchang really devotes himself to His Majesty's camp, aren't you afraid that you will be used by Cao Pi when the time comes?

The most terrifying thing is that his mind will be understood by Cao Pi.

If he fails to win over the Emperor, how can His Majesty the Emperor allow such people to become his opponents?

The more he thought about it, the more worried Xun Yu became.

But Zhong Xuan, who had been staring at him at this time, seemed to see through something, and smiled lightly and persuaded him: "Xun Lingjun, Xia Guan knows what you are thinking, really, Xia Guan appreciates your concern, but Xia Guan did this, not without reason." ”

"What's your reason?" Xun Yu looked at him, his heavy gaze was like a mountain: "Yuan Chang, being an official is nothing more than loyalty, treachery, power, scum, greed, ability, flattery, favor, and depravity, but no matter which one it is, the most taboo in the officialdom is Shallow and Zhang Yao, you are not this kind of person, but this time, why do you want to do this?" Kill yourself, that's just the story in the book! ”

“…… Ling Jun, the lower officials have never thought of a way to kill themselves to become benevolent, and besides, today's big man, the lower officials think that they can still make a contribution, how can they be willing? ”

Zhong Yu's answer seemed to be justified, but in fact, it was not difficult to hear his gratitude to Xun Yu for his concern, now in the officialdom, it is not only a blessing to have such a senior thinking about you.

Xun Yu heard his voiceover, shook his head, and stopped persuading.

Words stop at three points, why did you say seven points today? I believe he must understand that if he still insists on it, his heart must be like a stone, and it is useless to persuade him.

I hope you won't regret your choice......

"Okay, I see."

Xun Yu also smiled, although it was a little dry: "Wait a minute, let's eat at my place, I have something to explain to you." ”

"Okay."

Zhong Xuan nodded at him, but just as he was about to raise his cup of tea, he suddenly broke through: "If what the lower officials think is right, what Ling Jun will explain later should be about Uncle Fu Guo and Ling Hujun outside the city, right?" ”

"Huh?!"

Xun Yu was a little surprised, and after a pause, he nodded blatantly: "That's right, yesterday Uncle Fu Dianguo went to Shangshutai, mentioning that recently, many people in their camp have been sick, and I hope that Yushitai can help mobilize some medicines." ”

"Got it." Zhong Yu said, his eyes rolled for a moment, and suddenly two points of essence flashed, and he looked up at Xun Yu: "But Lord Lingjun, is there really anyone sick in Uncle Guo's Tuntian camp?" ”

……

Somehow, Xuchang can be described as an undercurrent today, Zhang Sicheng and the two returned to the school mansion, and before they could release Meng San, they were dragged to the secret room by Cao Pi.

Let's first ask Liu Xie what he has done in recent days, and ask in detail, these two naturally tell the truth, but they intentionally or unintentionally concealed everything that happened in the Changxin Hall today.

In addition, regarding the whereabouts of the steel sent to the palace, Cao Pi determined it several times before it was counted.

Seeing Cao Pi sitting silently in the secret room, Zhang Sicheng was worried about Meng San in his heart, and hesitated for a long time before daring to ask for his life: "Eldest prince, if you don't have any other instructions, your subordinates will go to the cell and release them." ”

"Oh, there you go."

Cao Pi didn't raise his eyes, but just waved his hand at him.

Zhang Sicheng hurriedly thanked him, and walked quickly to the cell with Niu Changfu.

That is, less than three minutes after they left, suddenly the door of the secret room opened from the outside, and a man wearing a black robe and a hat flashed in.

"The eldest prince, it's too late for the next official."

"It's not too late."

Hearing this voice, Cao Pi finally raised his head, and there was still a little joy on his face: "Wenhui, how late you came, it's the right time for me!" How, how's it going? ”

The person who came lifted the hat and revealed his true face, it was Gao Rou who was sitting in the Tingwei Mansion in white: "Back to the eldest prince, your orders, the lower officials have done everything, all the gift coefficients have been prepared, and no public funds will be used." ”

"That's good."

Hearing his last reassurance, the big stone that had been hanging in Cao Pi's heart just landed, which made Gao Rou have only one purpose, let him help him find some money that would not be discovered, and exchange it for treasured ornaments.

If you want to win over that little thing, you have to start from his preferences, for so many years, there is no shortage of women around him, as for power, except for the old Cao family, the rest of the officials, big and small, have to obey his dispatch no matter how much they say.

So all he lacked was military power and property.

The military power must not be given, and the property is reasonable.

This kid sold so many treasures in the palace before, and now the palace is very empty, so he might as well start from this point, give him some sweetness, and test it.

Give money directly, but also to prevent him from opening a small treasury privately, it is also troublesome to accumulate a lot of money, and replace it with ornaments, not only look more, but also easy to master, after all, all the gifts, Gao Rou have been marked.

Nodding, Cao Pi personally poured tea for Gao Rou: "It's just Wenhui, where did you get so much money?" ”

"The eldest prince, the lower official said that you had better not ask." Gao Rou said and smiled indifferently, but in Cao Pi's eyes, his smile was so creepy.

At this moment, Cao Pi's ears seemed to have sounded the wails of the prisoners who were forced by him to confess and rob their wealth in the lobby of the Tingwei Mansion......

After a little hesitation, Cao Pi didn't say anything, just nodded: "Okay, since Wen Hui said so, I won't ask." Now that the gift is ready, what time do you say to send it to him? ”

"Hmm...... Tomorrow. ”

Gao Rou said with special certainty: "Eldest prince, when Xia Guan first came in, he saw that Zhang Sicheng and the two had already rescued Meng San from prison, this is the emperor's will, right?" ”

"Of course."

"That's it."

Gao Rou's deep eyes were full of smiles: "Etiquette is still exchanged, he let go of the eldest prince's person, and the eldest prince gave him more than several times the feedback, so that even if he doesn't understand what you mean, he won't refuse." But as long as he accepts these gifts, then do you think, in the eyes of the second son, the third son, and the Manchu Dynasty, is he equivalent to admitting friendship with you from the side? When the time comes, even if he doesn't want to, he can't! Because no one believes him, others will suppress him! ”
