Chapter 0413: Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black
Through Kou Ji's words, Chen Lin naturally deduced that the Empress Dowager Liu E sent the people from the instrument prison to assassinate the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan.
But he couldn't believe it, and he didn't dare to say it.
I always feel a little shocking.
Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin with a smile, "Do you think it's a bit crazy that the Queen Mother sent someone to assassinate the Zhao family's Dazongzheng?" ”
Chen Lin nodded stiffly.
The Zhao family is a great sect, and in terms of identity and status, it is not as good as the official family and the queen mother, but in terms of authority, it is the power of the patriarch.
As soon as the emperor's relatives and relatives are all in charge of the Zhao family.
And the royal relatives are the most noble group of people in the Great Song Dynasty.
In other words, in some authority, the Zhao family is on an equal footing with the official family.
Such a character, in fact, can be assassinated when it is said to be assassinated?
If such a person is really assassinated to death, the public opinion caused by the government and the opposition will be equivalent to the assassination of Zai.
It's hard to calm down.
Chen Lin felt that Liu E was crazy.
Seeing Chen Lin nodding, Kou Ji continued: "You know very well what kind of person the Queen Mother is. It is impossible for the Queen Mother to do that kind of self-inflicted trouble. Then the Queen Mother's move illustrates a problem. ”
"What's the problem?"
Chen Lin's tone was a little urgent to ask.
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and said seriously: "The Queen Mother already has close evidence in her hands that the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan usurped the throne. Only in this way can she be assured that she can boldly send someone to assassinate the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, and she doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble. ”
Chen Lin's pupils shrank.
Rao is that he had already received the restless news of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan from other channels, and when he heard Kou Ji's words at this moment, it was difficult to calm down.
The Empress Dowager Liu E dared to send someone to assassinate the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, which means that the manpower recruited by the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan can already pose a threat to the status of Zhao Zhen and Liu E.
As Zhao Zhen's most loyal servant, how could he be at peace in his heart.
But the heart is not at peace, and the heart is not at peace.
After hearing Kou Ji's words, he still analyzed it seriously, and then said with a solemn expression: "Since the Queen Mother has the evidence of the usurpation of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, why didn't she expose this matter openly, but instead sent someone to assassinate her?" ”
Kou Ji said with admiration: "When you hear that someone threatens the status of the official family, you can quickly calm down and find out the key to the problem, which is really unusual." ”
Chen Lin had a gloomy face and glared at Kou Ji, "Our family doesn't need you to chase after us, quickly tell our family the truth." ”
Kou Ji nodded and said: "According to my speculation, the reason why the Queen Mother not only did not debunk this matter after knowing that the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan had the intention of usurping the throne, but also contributed a little to the trouble.
And the Queen Mother sent someone to assassinate the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan in the Eight Princes' Mansion, which should be a secret move to prevent variables. ”
From Kou Ji getting Chen Lin's reminder, to now a day and a night have passed, and the equipment supervisor sent by Liu E to the Eight Kings Mansion has not moved at all.
That shows that Liu E sent the men of the instrument supervisor to assassinate the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, not immediately, but lurked in the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan's mansion, waiting for the opportunity.
Exactly when, Kou Ji probably also had some guesses.
It should be the time to wait for the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan to start an incident.
Or it is a critical point in time after the incident of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan.
I have to admit that Liu E made a wonderful move.
At a critical time, it will definitely make the Eighth King Zhao Yuan extremely cool.
But Liu E, as the queen mother, actually connived at the usurpation of the throne by the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan, which means that she must have a plan behind her back.
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji in disbelief, "You mean...... Is the Queen Mother conniving at the usurpation of the throne by the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan? ”
Koji nodded.
Chen Lin gasped, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "She's doing death...... In case of...... In case the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan discovered her secret hand and pushed the boat down the river.
Then the official family will be in danger.
How dare she?
How dare you put the official family in danger? ”
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "She dares to bet on the official family, which shows that she has a big plan." ”
Chen Lin suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Kou Ji's arm, and roared, "You must stop this!" This must be stopped! ”
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Blocking the way of the Queen Mother......"
Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Chen Lin shouted eagerly: "No matter what the queen mother's plan is, our family must not watch the official family fall into danger." ”
Seeing Chen Lin take the bait, Kou Ji smiled in his heart, and said with a helpless look on his face: "The problem is, I don't know the Queen Mother's specific plan at all now, how to stop this?" ”
Chen Lin grabbed Kou Ji's arm and pushed harder, "Our family has said that our family doesn't care about the queen mother's plan, our family only cares about the safety of the official family." ”
Kou Ji still said helplessly: "But the Queen Mother has already made a move and has already participated in it." If I don't know the queen mother's plan, how can I see the move.
Blindly shooting, it is not difficult to bring down Zhao Yuanyan.
But what if the Queen Mother stands up because of this? ”
"The Queen Mother? Stand up?! ”
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment and glared at Kou Ji, "The Queen Mother wants to return to the court, so let her come back to the court." Our family only cares about the safety of the official family, as long as the official family is safe and sound, our family doesn't care about the rest. ”
This time.
It was Kou Ji's turn to be stunned.
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin for a long time, then sighed and said, "I shouldn't have discussed this matter with you." You are the best servant of the official family, and you are also the best eunuch. ”
Kou Ji found that he had found the wrong person when he found Chen Lin.
Chen Lin is willing to do anything for the sake of the official Zhao Zhen.
So he only cares about the safety of the official Zhao Zhen.
Therefore, as long as the safety of the official Zhao Zhen can be guaranteed, whether Liu E will come to the court, and how harmful it will be after Liu E returns to the court, he doesn't care at all.
Kou Ji didn't plan to continue to talk to Chen Lin any longer, so he said decisively: "I will naturally protect the official family, and you will go to the Privy Council to get an appointment when you go back."
I will secretly dispatch the Tiger Army into Beijing in case of emergency. ”
No matter what kind of situation he will face in the future, as long as the Tiger Army is in hand, Kou Ji will be able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
Chen Lin agreed to this matter without any hesitation.
It is difficult to get an appointment from the Privy Council, but it is still difficult for Chen Lin.
It is a grave crime to forge an order and transfer troops and horses without permission.
But for the sake of the safety of the official Zhao Zhen, Chen Lin didn't care at all.
Seeing that Chen Lin had agreed to help transfer troops, Kou Ji continued: "In addition, you have to do one more thing for me......
Chen Lin blurted out, "Say!" ”
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Help me pay close attention to the movements in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and see who the Queen Mother has been dealing with in recent days." ”
"Yes!"
The people in the palace, Kou Ji is not easy to monitor and investigate, but Chen Lin can.
Moreover, Chen Lin has eunuchs and palace ladies who are specially used to inquire about news and keep an eye on people in the palace.
Kou Ji nodded in satisfaction.
The goal was achieved, and he didn't plan to continue to talk to Chen Lin, so he immediately wanted to find an excuse to leave.
But I didn't expect it.
When Chen Lin walked towards the palace gate, he suddenly spoke, "If you want to know about the affairs of the Queen Mother's Palace, you don't need to be so troublesome. You can go to someone and he will tell you all the news in the Queen Mother's Palace. ”
"Who?"
"Guo Yi!"
Kou Ji turned around and said with a puzzled expression: "Who is Guo Yi?" ”
Chen Lin said with a gloomy face: "Guo Huai's godson, an equally damn little eunuch. ”
Kou Ji heard this, thoughtful.
Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "The so-called one who is close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, Guo Huai is greedy, and his godson is also greedy. It's just that if there is any reward on weekdays, or the opportunity to be greedy for money, Guo Huai will personally go into battle, and rarely give his godson a chance.
So few people know that Guo Yi is greedy.
It is precisely because Guo Huai rarely gives Guo Yi a chance that Guo Yi is forced to dare to accept any money and sell any news.
As long as you can give Guo Yi enough money, Guo Yi will dare to tell you anything. ”
Kou Ji arched his hand to Chen Lin, "Thank you......"
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji gloomily and said, "Our family told you this news, not to make you thank our family. We want to use this news to change you with another person. ”
"Don't change!"
Kou Ji waved his hand decisively, opened the door of Zichen Palace, and walked out.
Chen Lin said angrily: "We haven't said it yet!" ”
Kou Ji turned a deaf ear, and after leaving the Zichen Palace, he walked quickly to the outside of the palace.
Who Chen Lin wants to exchange with Kou Ji, Kou Ji knows.
Knowing that Zhao Zhen might be in danger, there was only one person Chen Lin wanted to get from Kou Ji.
Dumb Tiger!
Only with one more master like a dumb tiger by Zhao Zhen's side, Chen Lin will have a greater sense of security.
But Kou Ji himself couldn't send the dumb tiger, how to hand over the dumb tiger to Chen Lin to send.
In the past year or so, Kou Ji has not encountered any life-threatening times, and the dumb tiger has not appeared for more than a year.
No matter how Kou Ji summoned, the dumb tiger just refused to appear in front of him.
If it weren't for the fact that Kou Zhong would send some food to a specific place every day for the dumb tiger to eat, Kou Ji would have felt that this product might have disappeared.
Kou Ji left the palace.
Returned to the house.
I want to send Kou Zhong to Liu's Mansion to spread the word and let Liu Heng come over.
But considering that it was getting late, I dismissed this idea.
Until the morning of the second day.
Kou Jicai sent Kou Zhong to Liu's mansion to deliver the word.
Liu Heng knew that Kou Ji was planning something big recently, so after getting Kou Ji's message, he quickly rushed to Kou Mansion.
As soon as he entered the backyard of the Kou Mansion, he said impatiently: "Fourth brother, you urgently called me over, could it be that you heard some news from the palace?" ”
After Kou Ji invited Liu Heng to sit down, he said, "I have already asked someone to check the news in the palace." But I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few days. I heard you say before, you know some eunuchs in the palace, can you buy some news from them? ”
Liu Heng nodded and said, "There are so many eunuchs......"
After a pause, Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji unexpectedly and said, "Fourth brother, you didn't find anything in the palace, so you can only go through these little eunuchs to find out the news?" ”
Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng, "Don't guess...... It will take a few more days to hear from the palace, but I was afraid that time would not wait for anyone, so I decided to do both. I've got a message from elsewhere that there's someone in the palace who can help us find out what we want, so I'm going to ask you to send someone around. ”
"Who?"
"Guo Yi!"
Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji in amazement, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Yi is the person next to my aunt, do you still want to check my aunt's news?" ”
Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng seriously and said, "If you feel embarrassed, I can let Cao Tong do this......
Liu Heng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since the fourth brother asked me to check my aunt's news, he can trust me." I will not live up to the trust that my fourth brother has placed in me.
It's just, fourth brother, can you tell me why you want to check my aunt? ”
Kou Ji only asked Liu Heng to check on the person before, but he didn't tell Liu Heng the cause and effect.
Now that Liu Heng asked, Kou Ji did not hide it, and immediately revealed his guesses.
After Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's speculation, he was shocked, "My aunt will actually indulge the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne?!" ”
Kou Ji nodded and said, "She asked people to give up the Shaofu Eunuch and the General as a Prisoner, just to arouse the hostility of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to my grandfather. And the biggest beneficiary of this move is Zhao Yuanyan.
Those civil and military officers in the court were dissatisfied with my grandfather's approach, but they had nothing to do with my grandfather.
Therefore, some people secretly took refuge in Zhao Yuanyan, so that Zhao Yuanyan's wings quickly plumped up.
prompted Zhao Yuanyan to speed up the pace of usurpation. ”
Liu Heng exclaimed: "If you can't get it right, it's going to change the sky...... How dare my aunt ......"
Kou Ji said quietly: "Your aunt should feel that she can control the situation. ”
Liu Heng asked, "What if you can't control it well?" Wen Qiqi felt that he could control the horned Luo, but now? Jiaoluo is still the Zampu of Qingtang and the co-owner of Tubo, but Wen Qiqi's skull has become a wine glass in Jiaoluo's hand. ”
Kou Ji nodded, "I'm also worried about accidents, so I want to find out what your aunt wants to do." ”
Liu Heng got up and said to Kou Ji with a heavy face: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible, and I will definitely not let any accidents happen." ”
Liu Heng took a trip to Qingtang and was accustomed to seeing the change of positions of the patriarchs of various tribes on the land of Qingtang, and learned a lot of principles for politics.
The Liu family has today's status thanks to Liu E.
But Liu E's status today is due to the former emperor Zhao Heng and the official Zhao Zhen.
If Liu E dies suddenly, the Liu family can still continue to be rich and prosperous by virtue of the identity of the Queen Mother Liu E's family.
But if the official Zhao Zhen's position is shaken.
Not only will Liu E be unlucky, but the Liu family will also be unlucky.
Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Heng to watch Zhao Zhen's position being shaken, let alone to watch the Liu family fall.
After Liu Heng left the Kou Mansion, he immediately recruited his own people and secretly contacted Guo Huai's godson Guo Yi.
Kou Ji was in the house, waiting for Chen Lin and Liu Heng to bring him the latest news.
As Chen Lin said.
Guo Huai's godson Guo Yi is far more greedy than Guo Huai.
After learning that someone outside the palace was looking for him, he knew that someone was going to send him money to spend.
After he got the news, he left the palace without any hesitation.
found the people sent by Liu Heng.
