Cao Jixiang smiled, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, and stuffed them to Huang Gonggong, the little father-in-law saw that it was enough to have as many as one thousand taels, and swallowed saliva again and again, but his hand pushed back, and said while pushing: "How can this be made, Lord Cao, isn't it a slap in the face for the small money you give to the small money, and besides, I am under the command of Lord Ah Rong to help you, if I receive your money, I am afraid that Lord Ah Rong will know in the future, but I will cramp and peel the skin." ”

"Look at what you said, why can't you do it, if it weren't for you, how could I know the content of Xu Youzhen and the emperor's secret agent, if there is no such content, how can I put him to death, today you help me find out the emperor's attitude, Cao is really grateful, I can only use this vulgar silver two to express my gratitude in my heart, Ah Rong, I will say it, just treat it as your hard-earned money, but good Huang Gonggong." Cao Jixiang said with sincerity on his face,

Huang Gonggong shirked it again with hypocrisy, picked up the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Then I am disrespectful, thank you Lord Cao for the reward." ”

Cao Jixiang also replied with a smile: "That's good, we are all eunuchs, a family, and we will have to rely on our father-in-law in the future." ”

"It's easy to say, I'm just doing things by the emperor's side, and I have no other ability to be absolutely well-informed, which is also thanks to Lord Ah Rong's appreciation and the emperor's holy family, in the future, Lord Cao can use my little yellow place, and I will go to the soup to fight the fire." Huang Gonggong accepted people's money and hurriedly showed his loyalty,

Cao Jixiang and Huang Gonggong chatted for a while, the two said goodbye, Huang Gonggong had just taken a few steps Cao Jixiang suddenly asked: "Huang Gonggong, Ah Rong didn't tell him about this." ”

Gonggong Huang was stunned for a moment and turned around and said: "Don't worry, Lord Cao, Lord Ah Rong said that even if 'Tian' asks this time, he can't reveal half a sentence, and the little one will retire first." ”

"Huang Gonggong walks slowly" Cao Jixiang finally put his mind at ease, and after Huang Gonggong walked away, Cao Jixiang laughed a few times and said to himself: "Hey, Lu Yunzhi's subordinates also have times when they do things behind his back, it doesn't seem to be a piece of steel, hehe." ”

Huang Gonggong said goodbye to Cao Jixiang, walked towards his bedroom, opened the wardrobe after entering the bedroom, and got in.

After Gonggong Huang put down the silver ticket, he picked up a small jar, and said less than two sentences to the small jar, his face was full of smiles, this time the meritorious service was not small, plus Cao Jixiang's generosity, it seemed that the double reward was in hand,

In the courtyard of Zhongzheng Yimai, Lu Yunzhi put his hand on a small blue and white jar, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Ah Rong asked, "The fish is hooked." Lu Yunzhi nodded and said, "Those who wish to take the bait." ”

On the second day, Xu Youzhen was called into the palace, and a eunuch scolded Xu Youzhen frantically in the emperor's tone, and after all the scolding, the eunuch bowed his hand to Xu Youzhen with a slight apology and said: "Lord Xu, this matter is all said by the emperor, I have no choice but to do it, please don't forgive me, but the emperor asked me to give you a word after scolding, called to do it yourself." ”

Xu Youzhen stood there stunned for a long time and didn't understand what happened, she returned home as if she had lost her soul, and it happened that her henchmen were there, Xu Youzhen told her what happened today, and asked everyone to help analyze it, everyone frowned, and they didn't know why, but they were secretly worried that Xu Youzhen had annoyed the emperor,

Li Xian stood up with a slight smile and said, "Lord Xu, what should you do if a subordinate offends you very seriously, or makes a heinous mistake." ”

Xu Youzhen replied inexplicably: "If you speak out, then I will accept it, and if you talk nonsense, let him take off his official uniform and get out." Although Xu Youzhen didn't understand why Li Xian asked this, he still showed his attitude of appointing virtuous people to accept advice.

"Then if this person has a very high position of power, and is not much different from you, you can't remove him from office for a while, but you can punish him, what should you do?" Li Xian asked again,

Xu Youzhen seemed to understand a little, and replied slowly: "Then I have to reward him with at least a few slaps." ”

"That's right, the emperor is the ninety-five, the world is dominant, he did not remove you, and just reprimanded you, you want to reprimand your father-in-law on behalf of the emperor We don't have much communication with him on weekdays, his last sentence is good for himself, it is definitely not what he said, it is clear that the emperor let him say, don't let you hate him, what does this mean, it means that you will not only not be punished by the emperor, but will rise step by step, this is just the emperor's voice, the father-in-law's last slightly apologetic face and polite tone are also very illustrative, The eunuch is the most powerful, who would be polite to a person who provokes the wrath of the saint. Li Xian said,

Xu Youzhen already knew it in his heart, he looked at everyone except Li Xian, and saw the puzzled expressions on those people's faces, he wanted to say everything through Li Xian's mouth to dispel his own scruples, so he nodded with a smile in his eyes and said: "The emperor is really smart, there is something in his words, Brother Li Xian, tell them these people who don't understand." ”

Li Xian hugged his fists and replied yes and then said: "What the emperor really wants to say is that he blames us for not doing things well, and he didn't chase Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng after the victory, and we will stop when we see Cao Jixiang sick at home, which is not right, so the emperor does not have the slightest intention of blaming us, but encourages us very much. ”

Xu Youzhen nodded as if he already knew and said: "What you said is not wrong at all, I just deliberately said something about being scolded in the palace, and I asked you to answer such a question that is easy to confuse stupid people, just to see which of you is smart and who is loyal to me." The few people who were suspicious and frightened just now lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Brother Li Xian is really quick-witted, with the assistance of Brother Li Xian, we can eliminate Cao Shi's two parties in just a snap of a finger, hahahaha." Xu Youzhen laughed, Li Xian also echoed and laughed, but there was an imperceptible disdain in his eyes, Xu Youzhen was really stupid, originally the emperor was only for Xu Youzhen's unbridled anger, but because of such a distorted explanation, he changed his opinion, and believed it, it was really stupid and ridiculous,

So, Xu Youzhen seemed to get the holy will, continued to entangle the imperial history of the official, and made a joint letter to Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, listing eighteen culpabilities, and displaying a lot of so-called evidence, Zhu Qizhen did not praise in the court, nor did he angrily reprimand Xu Youzhen, but his face twitched, and he smiled unnaturally, Xu Youzhen was secretly proud, and felt that Zhu Qizhen was different from the emperor who was mixed back then, and now Zhu Qizhen did not express his position to accumulate and embarras, so the criticism of Cao Shi's two parties became even stronger,
