"I want to know that Cao uses all the wind and grass in the house!"

"I'm going to do it......"

It was about Zhao Zhen, and Liu Heng didn't dare to be ambiguous.

Liu Heng arched his hand at Kou Ji and left Kou Mansion.

Go and send people to keep an eye on Cao Yu's house.

Kou Ji continued to speculate in the mansion about the possible deep meaning of Guo Huai's forcing Cao to exploit.

Kou Ji guessed for a few days, but still didn't guess any useful news.

He didn't stay in the house and continued to speculate.

But on a cold evening, a person quietly arrived at Zhu's mansion.

The protégé and steward of the Zhu Mansion met Kou Ji and were very cordial.

Warmly welcomed Kou Ji into the house.

Without waiting for the master's instructions, he immediately asked the kitchen to prepare a large table of first-class mountain and sea delicacies for Kou Ji.

Therefore, when Kou Ji saw Zhu Neng, it was at the dinner table.

Kou Ji was staring at a plate of honey-made bear paws and moving chopsticks, and Zhu Neng's signature laughter sounded outside the hall.

"Hahaha...... How can you have leisure today to come to my house......

After seeing Zhu Neng's burly body appear at the door of the hall, Kou Ji put down his chopsticks with some reluctance and got up to give a salute.

Zhu Neng didn't wait for Kou Ji to give a salute, he moved in front of Kou Ji, put his thick hand on Kou Ji's shoulder, and pressed Kou Ji back to his seat.

"When you get to my house, you don't have to follow those stinky rules, sit down and eat......"

Kou Ji smiled.

Zhu Neng sat opposite Kou Ji, casually pushed a plate of game in front of Kou Ji, like a kind elder, and said with a smile: "Eat more ......"

Kou Ji was not polite, nodded and began to eat.

There are always many delicacies from the mountains and seas that Kou Ji has never eaten in Zhu Neng's mansion.

After Kou Ji arrived at the Zhu Mansion, he could always satisfy his appetite.

It's not that Kou Ji is particularly greedy.

Cuncui is a delicacies of the mountains and seas that can be eaten in Zhufu, and cannot be eaten in other places.

What's more, it is not allowed to be eaten in the Hereafter, or it is extinct.

It is precisely because of these two points.

Kou Ji ran into it, so he naturally wanted to eat it well.

Look at the sweetness of Kou Ji's food.

Zhu Neng's smile was even brighter, his sons had long been tired of eating this thing, and it was difficult to show a greedy look in the face of these things.

Now, only in Kou Ji can you see the greedy look.

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji eating, and asked with a smile: "You came to my house at night, did you have something important to look for me?" ”

Kou Ji raised his head and gave Zhu Neng a smile, but did not speak.

Zhu Neng was stunned and didn't speak again.

Apparently.

Kou Ji has something very important to talk to Zhu Neng secretly, and the dining room is not a place to talk.

There are many maids and servants waiting around, and it is not easy to speak.

Immediately.

Zhu Rang took a pair of chopsticks and accompanied Kou Ji to eat and drink.

After you have eaten and drunk.

Zhu Neng took Kou Ji to the martial arts arena in the backyard.

After the screen retreated left and right.

The two sat on the stone lock.

Zhu Neng asked, "Is there anything important to tell me?" ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Things are very troublesome. ”

Zhu Neng saw that Kou Ji's expression was wrong, and said solemnly: "What's the trouble?" ”

Kou Ji stared at Zhu Neng and said word by word: "Someone might want to kill us?" ”

Zhu Nengtong's big eyes instantly widened, "Who?!" ”

Kou Ji didn't answer Zhu Neng directly, and said to himself: "The eighth king Zhao Yuanyan wants to usurp the throne, and he has gathered a group of Zi Wenchen in his hands, and he has recently recruited military ministers. I am afraid that we will use the most drastic means to usurp the throne. ”

The most drastic means of usurping the throne is, of course, mutiny.

The site of the mutiny, of course, was the imperial city.

Zhu Neng is the general of the guards of the imperial city, and he is the first person Zhao Yuanyan has to deal with.

Zhu Neng's face changed again and again, and he said in a low voice: "Is the news reliable?" ”

Kou Ji nodded decisively.

Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "According to your grandfather's temperament, he will definitely not take refuge in Zhao Yuanyan." Then we and Zhao Yuanyan, naturally there is no room for peace. If he leads his troops to usurp the throne, he will definitely kill us. ”

Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "You came to me to borrow someone from me and kill Zhao Yuanyan first?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head, "Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation of the throne is not terrible. ”

Zhu Neng's brows instantly twisted into a ball, "Is there anything more terrifying than usurpation?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and said: "Because in addition to discovering that Zhao Yuanyan was going to usurp the throne, I also found that the Queen Mother Liu E seemed to be behind the scenes." ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, his brows tightened, "It stands to reason that Liu E should be the person who attaches the most importance to the throne of the official family, if she finds out that Zhao Yuanyan usurped the throne, she will definitely try her best to get rid of Zhao Yuanyan, how can she help Zhao Yuanyan usurp the throne?" ”

Kou Ji said solemnly: "This is the crux of the matter. The Empress Dowager Liu E used a trick to help Zhao Yuanyan recruit a lot of ministers, but she also sent assassins to hide beside Zhao Yuanyan.

According to my speculation, Liu E should be trying to use Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne and plan something.

Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation plan should have been fully grasped by her.

So Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation of the throne is not the most terrible.

The most terrifying thing is Liu E's plan. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Zhu Neng pondered for a long time, and said, "Liu E should want to use Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne, reappear in the court, and retake charge of the government." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I think so too...... If Liu E really plans to reappear in the court, then if she wants to reappear in the court and regain power, she must get rid of two people. ”

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji, breathing a little heavily, and said, "Your grandfather, and your ......"

Kou Ji nodded heavily and said, "In addition, I also found out that Liu E's henchman eunuch Guo Huai was secretly persecuting Cao to take advantage of it. Cao used the money in the house, but it has been hollowed out by Guo Huai, and the Cao Mansion is up and down, and now they are eating chaff vegetables. ”

"Bang!"

Zhu Neng punched the weapon rack next to the stone lock, and shouted angrily: "Dog slave! ”

Zhu Neng and Cao Yong were both military ministers.

Cao's status is much higher than that of Zhu Neng.

Cao took advantage of the fact that people up and down the house were forced to eat chaff, and Zhu Neng had a feeling of empathy, how not to be angry.

Kou Ji didn't appease Zhu Neng either, and when he knew that Guo Huai had forced a privy envoy to eat chaff, he was also angry in his heart.

"It's weird...... I feel that this matter is also the plan of the Queen Mother Liu E...... But I can't guess the joints......"

Zhu Neng's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "With Zhao Yuanyan usurping the throne alone, Liu E is enough to pull your grandfather off the horse." She also used tricks on Cao Yong behind her back, and she must have wanted to kill your grandfather. ”

"Poof!"

Zhu Neng got up suddenly, and said fiercely: "This matter must not be tolerated, I will go to the palace to find your grandfather and make it clear." If you can find a way to counteract, it's fine, if you can't counteract, Liu E insists on going her own way......

Hum! ”

There were some words that Zhu Neng didn't say, but Kou Ji understood what he meant.

Zhu Neng regards Kou Zhun as his father.

If Liu E really wants to kill Kou Zhun.

Zhu Neng dared to lead the troops to Liu E's bedroom.

Zhu Neng dared to do anything for Kou Zhun.

Seeing that Zhu Neng was about to enter the palace, Kou Ji hurriedly grabbed Zhu Neng's sleeve and said, "Uncle Zhu, this matter has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, so there is no need to take that step." ”

Zhu Neng glared, stared at Kou Ji, and shouted, "Then what do you say?" Do you just watch those villains calculate your grandfather? You're a smart man, so why don't you understand?

If they hurt your grandfather's life, will they leave you alone on earth?

If they want our lives, then we want their lives first. ”

Seeing that Zhu Neng was annoyed, Kou Ji had the idea of leading the troops to kill, and hurriedly spoke.

"Uncle Zhu! My grandfather regarded himself as a virtuous minister all his life, and he cherished fame the most. If it is because of your impulsiveness and ruins the name of his life, even if he lives, he will be depressed for the rest of his life.

There is still room for manoeuvre in this matter, and we must not take the last road. ”

Hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhu Neng clenched his fists, restrained the anger in his heart, and asked, "Then you say, what should I do now?" ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I came to you tonight just to let you prepare early and avoid the worst situation." ”

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Kou Ji said: "Those gentlemen in the imperial city, replace them as soon as possible." Replace those loyal sons of good families in your hands. From this day onwards, you will be on the Imperial City.

If something unexpected happens, you will lock down the palace as soon as possible.

As long as the palace is in our hands, we can do whatever we want. ”

Zhu Neng pondered Kou Ji's words for a moment and nodded heavily, "You're right, as long as the palace is in our hands, we can do whatever we want." If Liu E's slut really dares to hurt your grandfather's life, I will cut off her head as soon as possible to avenge your grandfather. ”

Kou Ji comforted Zhu Neng and sat down again.

Seeing that the anger in Zhu Neng's chest was half appeased by himself, he continued: "I came here this time, in addition to letting you control the imperial city, I also hope that you will help me refer to Guo Huai's intention to force Cao to use it.

Liu E's other plans, I have already speculated, but this is the only one, I still can't figure it out. ”

Zhu Neng said coldly: "Did I say just now that Liu E wants to kill your grandfather?" ”

Koji nodded.

Zhu Neng continued: "Do you know why I said that? ”

Kou Ji muttered: "Isn't it because of Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation of the throne, my grandfather will be deposed for the crime of negligence, and after my grandfather loses power, will Liu E assassinate my grandfather?" ”

Zhu Neng shook his head coldly.

"Liu E wants to kill your grandfather, and the key problem lies with Cao Yong."

Kou Ji frowned and said, "I have thought about this point you have thought about too. If Liu E framed the problem of Cao's use on my grandfather, it would definitely arouse the hostility of the Manchu martial artists towards my grandfather.

But this matter was done by Guo Huai.

Once something goes wrong with Cao Yong, it is easy to trace it back to Guo Huai.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't turn a blind eye, right? ”

Zhu Neng sneered and asked, "What if the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces have all become blind in this matter?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Impossible! ”

Zhu Neng sneered: "Why is it impossible? During your grandfather's administration, he successively abolished the Criminal Division, the General Prison, and half of the Shaofu Prison, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Xiang Army.

As a result, many officials have lost the opportunity to accumulate wealth.

Your grandfather is now in a high position, and those officials naturally dare not speak out.

But if an opportunity to bring down your grandfather presented itself to them, do you think they would mind being blind for once?

The officials who followed your grandfather may not be faithful.

As long as Liu E is willing to promise heavy profits, most of them are willing to be blind.

When a large part of them is blind, do you think the arguments of the remaining few are useful? ”

Kou Ji was shocked.

I heard Zhu Neng continue: "Your grandfather has been implementing the decree of abolishing the box army, and now the box army on the four sides has been abolished. The rest is the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Your grandfather is currently preparing for this.

It's just that due to the official marriage, the order has not been issued for a long time.

Once the official family is married, your grandfather will definitely order the dismantling of the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

At that time, the martial arts in the court will definitely make trouble.

If it was at this time, Cao used to have an accident.

What do you think the martial artists will do? ”

Kou Ji gasped and said: "They must not mind being blind once, pushing Cao's death on my grandfather's head, bluntly saying that it was my grandfather who dismantled the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains and forced Cao to die."

If it is immediately after, Zhao Yuanyan will hold high the anti-flag on the side of the Qing monarch and usurp the throne.

Then my grandfather's life, I'm afraid I can't save it......

My grandfather took on the name of a traitor, and he himself would be angry with himself......

Even if she didn't make herself angry, Liu E would use a series of distributions to let my grandfather die on the road......"

Moment.

Kou Ji figured out Liu E's overall plan, and all the clues that could not be connected were all strung together, forming an impenetrable net that shrouded their ancestors and grandchildren.

"What a poisonous plan!"

Kou Ji clenched his fists, grimaced a gloomy face, and whispered.

Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji with a stunned expression, "You just said that Cao Yong would die?" ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Cao Yu has been forced to have no way to go to heaven and earth, and he can't ask others for help, do you think he will survive according to his temperament?" ”

Cao uses the temperament, Zhu Neng understands.

Hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhu Neng nodded approvingly, "Cao is taking advantage of his paranoid temperament, and if he is really forced to the point where he has no way out, he will commit suicide." ”

Kou Ji squinted his eyes and said, "Being able to calculate people's hearts to this extent, Xia Zhu is really powerful." ”

"Xia Zhu?!"

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji in amazement.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Xia Zhu has entered the palace, and now he is next to Liu E, helping Liu E to make suggestions." ”

Zhu Neng gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Zhu is a wolf." ”

Kou Ji sneered: "If I don't know their plan, then Xia Zhu is really a wolf." But I know their plan, and Xia Zhu is a dog. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng and said, "I didn't see through it, but I didn't expect Uncle Zhu to see through it at a glance." If I had known, I should have come to you earlier, and I wouldn't have to think about it for so long and waste so much time. ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "You just rarely get involved in the army, and you don't understand the temperament of our people." It's not like Xia Zhu, who has been in the army for more than ten years and understands the temperament of our people. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded, and shook his head again.

"There are reasons for this...... More importantly, I never thought that someone could use a stratagem to make most of the officials in the court blind. It's because I have experienced too little and my vision is too shallow. ”

"I can calculate the officials of the world, and others can also calculate the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. I'm not the only smart person in the world......"
