Liu E knew that she couldn't fight Kou Zhun and the three of them joined forces, but she couldn't help the anger in her heart, and only slapped the phoenix chair she was sitting on.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun and the three of them didn't want to force Liu E too much, so they arched their hands, dropped a word, and withdrew from the dormitory.

"Tomorrow, the ministers will send officials from the Ministry of Rites to Qingfang Palace to ......"

After Kou Zhun and the three left, Liu E patted the phoenix chair and roared angrily, "You little conscienceless, for the sake of a woman, you actually invited Kou Zhun and the three to bully the mourning family!" ”

Liu E's roar echoed in the empty dormitory for a long time.

Kou Zhun and the three of them went out of the dormitory gate, heard Liu E's roar, and glanced at each other, without pity in their eyes.

If Liu E hadn't wanted to do things against the rules, there would have been this situation.

Wait until Kou Zhun and the three of them are far away.

Yan Shu and the three walked out from behind Liu Efeng's chair.

Yan Shu said indignantly: "Kou Zhun three old thieves, insulting Niangniang like this, it really deserves to die." ”

Xia Zhu said coldly: "If Niangniang can return to the court, those three old thieves will die." ”

On the contrary, it was the old figure who bowed to Liu E and said solemnly: "Niangniang is angry, take care of the phoenix body." ”

Under the admonition of the old figure, Liu E restrained the anger in her chest and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family wants to know when the mourning family will be able to reappear in the vertical arch hall." ”

Xia Zhu said in a deep voice: "Kou Zhun is not dead, it is difficult for Niangniang to appear in the court." ”

The old figure shook his head, "That may not be ......"

Liu E's eyes fell on the old figure and asked, "What do you say?" ”

The old figure said: "The official family's wedding is an opportunity for the mother. Niangniang can reappear in front of people through the official wedding. As for the expulsion of Kou Zhun and the three of them and the regain of power, you can slowly figure it out. ”

Liu E frowned and said, "How to slowly figure it out?" ”

The old figure muttered: "Since Kou Zhun and the three of them took charge and abolished the power of casting ordnance from the prisoner, the small movements of the martial artists behind their backs have not stopped.

Now Kou Zhun and the three of them have revealed their intention to dismantle the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Naturally, the martial artists will not sit still.

There are already seven or eight generals of the Xiang Army, who have taken refuge in the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan behind their backs.

By the time Kou Zhun and the three of them begin to dismantle the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, I am afraid that more generals of the Xiang army, and even Wu Xun, will take refuge in him.

According to the temperament of the eighth king, Zhao Yuanyan, with so much power in hand, he must not be able to sit still.

Once the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan got into trouble, Kou Zhun and the three of them would inevitably come forward to deal with it.

Kou Zhun and the three of them work together, and the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan is definitely not an opponent.

Wait until the rebellion is put down.

As the chief regent, Kou Zhun must be responsible for the rebellion of the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan.

During his general regency, he did not find out about the rebellion of the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan, and he could not escape the blame.

Beggars are inevitable.

Once Kou Zhun begs the bones, it is the time for you to reappear in the Vertical Arch Palace. ”

The old figure mentioned the matter of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, and Liu E, Yan Shu, and Xia Zhu did not have the slightest look of surprise on their faces.

Obviously, they had long known about the plan behind the scenes of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan.

The reason why they know everything about the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan is related to that old figure.

Because that old figure is the henchman of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, and he is also the number one adviser by the side of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan.

Wang Qinruo!

The reason why Wang Qinruo betrayed the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan was because he felt that it was difficult for the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan to succeed.

Wang Qinruo has gone through three dynasties, and he has long been mixed into a human spirit.

For the eight kings, Zhao Yuanyan has a few catties and taels, and he can see it clearly.

The eighth king, Zhao Yuan, has great ambitions, but he is ambitious and talented.

If he really had the ability, when Taizong passed on the throne, it would not have been the turn of the first emperor Zhao Heng.

If he really had the ability, when the first emperor Zhao Heng died, he would not pass on the throne to Zhao Zhen.

If he really had the ability, he would not have been crushed to death during the reign of the first emperor, during the reign of Liu E, and during the reign of Kou Zhun.

During the reign of the first emperor Zhao Heng for more than 20 years, the ambitious Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan only dared to make a show among the people, spread some rumors, and make a good name for himself.

He didn't dare to do the rest.

If it weren't for Kou Ji's appearance, which stirred his restless heartstrings, I am afraid that he would not dare to recruit Wen Nawu and do something to usurp the throne in his life.

Kou Ji was not as weak as the crown, so he dared to stir up the wind and rain in the court, which gave him a lot of courage.

With the courage given by Kou Ji and the situation that Kou Ji helped him open, he dared to recruit Wen Nawu and make a plan to usurp the throne.

But to this day, he has not recruited many useful talents.

Li Jian can barely be used, and the others are not worth mentioning at all.

Not to mention dealing with Kou Zhun and the three of them, just one Kou Ji has tossed them several times.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Qinruo decided that the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan could not succeed, and decisively voted for Liu E.

In Wang Qinruo's eyes, Liu E is smarter than the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan, and even more powerful than the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan.

The eighth king, Zhao Yuanyan, tried his best to exhaust the manpower that the money could not recruit, and Liu E was just a letter, which made people devote themselves to his command.

The comparison between the two, who to mix with, is obvious.

After listening to Wang Qinruo's words, Liu E frowned and said: "When Zhao Yuanyan is in trouble, what does it have to do with the mourning family coming forward through the official wedding." ”

Wang Qinruo bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Niangniang needs to appear in front of hundreds of officials in order to attract more officials to join Niangniang." After Kou Zhun begs the bones, Niangniang will have enough manpower to regain control of the court, so that Kou Zhun will no longer have the strength to repeat. ”

Liu E thought of Kou Zhun's threat to her just now, and her anger surged back into her heart, "Let the mourning family wait for Zhao Yuanyan to make trouble, it is better to let the mourning family wait for Kou Zhun to die." ”

Apparently.

In Liu E's eyes, Zhao Yuanyan is not enough to succeed.

Wang Qinruo opened his mouth and was about to speak.

I heard Liu E continue to say indignantly: "The mourning family can't wait!" There's no other way?! ”

Xia Zhuyin said testimoniously: "The prince's method is the most appropriate, and it is the most stable method at present, but I don't want to see the ancestors of the Kou family die properly." Since Niangniang can't wait, and the minister doesn't want to see the ancestors and grandchildren of the Kou family die, then we will find a way to help a group of eight kings, Zhao Yuanyan. ”

Liu E, Wang Qinruo, and Yan Shu's eyes fell on Xia Zhu in unison.

Liu E said in a deep voice: "How can you help?" ”

Wang Qinruo sighed and reminded: "The mud is not good to hold on to the wall. ”

Xia Zhu sneered: "With our help, even if the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan is really a puddle of mud, we can hold him up to the wall." ”

Wang Qinruo frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xia Zhu shook his head and said, "It's what you plan to do." ”

Wang Qinruo and Liu E looked puzzled.

Xia Zhu continued: "The most ferocious thing in the court now is the matter of deposing the prisoner. The loudest opposition among them is your people. I don't think you should object to this anymore.

Instead, he wants to help the martial artists, and the successful deposition will be a prison. ”

Wang Qinruo's eyes widened in astonishment.

Yan Shu glanced at Xia Zhu and said in a deep voice, "Do you want the martial artists to see the sincerity of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan?" ”

Xia Zhu nodded and sneered: "Not only that, but I also want Kou Zhun and the three of them, so as to offend a large group of civil officials." Kou Zhun old thief, Kou Ji thief, in order to help the Ministry of Labor seize power, it can be said that they have tried their best.

Then we will fulfill their minds, and the Ministry of Assistance will get the power of the superintendent, the young superintendent, and the three divisions. ”

Wang Qinruo stroked his beard, pouted, and said with emotion: "In this way, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Kou family are afraid to offend the Wenchen of the Half Dynasty and the royal family." In this way, it is convenient for Niangniang to recruit Wenchen. ”

Yan Shu said in shock: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, I don't need to be recruited by Niangniang, and those Wenchen will take the initiative to join Niangniang's command and let Niangniang dispatch them." ”

After a pause, Yan Shu said again: "There will also be some Wenchen who will be under the command of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan." The wings of the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan will definitely plump up quickly. ”

Wang Qinruo muttered: "The method is a good method, but how should the old man let those civil servants in his hands take the initiative to give up the interests in his hands?" ”

Xia Zhu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "When Niangniang comes to the Vertical Arch Hall again, what do you want?" Don't they like high officials and lords, and don't like the greater good? ”

Wang Qinruo subconsciously looked at Liu E.

Liu E naturally knew what Wang Qinruo was worried about, and she said very decisively: "The mourning family is also afraid that Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandsons will be too powerful and will act against him. The mourning family is to help the official family guard the country, and they help the mourning family, they are naturally meritorious ministers, and the mourning family will not be stingy with rewards. ”

Wang Qinruo nodded with a deep sigh, "In this way, the old minister can convince the gang of people under him." ”

Xia Zhu had already guessed that Wang Qinruo would not refuse the temptation of a bigger official, so after Wang Qinruo's voice landed, he continued: "The next step is ......"

When Liu E, Wang Qinruo, and Yan Shu heard this, they pricked up their ears to listen.

saw Xia Zhu's eyes fall on Guo Huai.

Guo Huaizheng listened energetically, and saw that Liu E and Xia Zhu's eyes fell on him, and he was a little stunned.

"Slave maid...... The slave is the mother's confidant......"

Somehow, Guo Huai was a little uncomfortable by Xia Zhu's gaze, and subconsciously said this.

Seeing this, Liu E said to Xia Zhu: "Xia Aiqing doesn't have to guard against Guo Huai, Guo Huai is loyal to the mourning family, and he will never dare to leak half a word." ”

Xia Zhu didn't listen to Liu E's words, but shook his head stubbornly, and arched his hand: "Please also ask Gonggong Guo to wait outside the palace." ”

Guo Huai's face changed.

Immediately, he put on a sad look on his face and looked at Liu E.

Liu E looked at Guo Huai with some embarrassment, then looked at Xia Zhu, and finally gritted her teeth and ordered: "Guo Huai, you step down first......"

Guo Huai's heart jumped, he lowered his head, and answered with a slightly trembling voice.

"Slave maid...... Compliance ......"

Guo Huai hung his head like this and walked out of Liu E's bedroom.

The reason why he keeps hanging his head is not because he is humble.

Rather, it was because he was afraid to raise his head and let people see the hideousness on his face.

At the moment when Xia Zhu asked him to leave the dormitory.

He somehow came up with a ridiculous idea.

Xia Zhu wants to compete with him for favor.

Xia Zhu wants to take his place next to Liu E.

Before he changed, Xia Zhu naturally couldn't replace him.

But now, Xia Zhu is like him, and he has been in the palace for so long.

He is more learned, more thoughtful, and more knowledgeable than him.

Liu E followed Xia Zhu's advice and let him leave the dormitory.

Then Xia Zhu already has the opportunity to replace him.

It is precisely because of this that his face is full of hideousness.

Guo Huai didn't look up.

But how could he hide his mind from Xia Zhu.

From the time he lowered his head and never raised his head again, Xia Zhu guessed his thoughts.

However, Xia Zhu dared to speak out to offend him, and he had obviously made preparations.

Just after Guo Huai's figure disappeared into the dormitory.

Xia Zhu arched his hand to Liu E and said something earth-shattering.

"The next step is to let Cao Yu die!"

"Poof!"

Liu E stood up abruptly and looked at Xia Zhu in disbelief.

Yan Shu and Wang Qinruo stared at Xia Zhu with frightened expressions.

Let a privy envoy die, and the official family will not dare to say so.

How dare you, Xia Zhu?

Liu E said calmly in her heart: "Xia Zhu, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Xia Zhu said indifferently: "The minister naturally knows...... There is a reason why the minister said this. ”

Liu E held back the consternation in her heart, stared at Xia Zhu and said, "Talk ......"

Xia Zhu said frankly: "If Niangniang doesn't let Cao Niang die, Cao Niang will let Niangniang die." ”

Liu E said in a deep voice: "Cao Yu is also a confidant of the mourning family, since he voted for the mourning family, he has always obeyed the orders of the mourning family. The mourning family is back in power, and he will only celebrate the mourning family, how can he threaten the mourning family? ”

Xia Zhu said faintly: "I have to ask your henchman eunuch Guo Huai......"

"Guo Huai?!"

Liu E was puzzled.

Xia Zhu didn't sell Guan Zi, and said bluntly: "If it weren't for what the ministers heard and what Qin'er saw, who would have thought that the dignified privy envoy of the Song Dynasty would be forced by a eunuch to the point of eating chaff?" ”

Liu E's eyes widened in astonishment, even more shocked than just now.

Wang Qinruo and Yan Shu can stuff a rattan ball in their mouths.

"You say...... Guo Huai...... Forced Cao to use the family to eat bran vegetables?! ”

Liu E muttered a question.

Xia Zhu nodded and said, "Since Niangniang didn't like Cao Utilization, she sent Guo Huai as the person who communicated between you and Cao Xuan. Guo Huai used your name to extort money from Cao.

Now the money up and down the Cao Mansion has long been extorted.

Cao Mansion went up and down, and could only eat bran vegetables.

If that's all there is to it, that's it.

But after Guo Huai finished extorting Cao's money, he also bullied Cao several times.

Cao Yu didn't make a move against Guo Huai for a long time, probably counting all the hatred on Niangniang's head.

If he had seized the opportunity, did you think he would have let you go? ”

Liu E slumped in her chair, unable to believe Xia Zhu's words.

The same is true of Yan Shu and Wang Qinruo.

Rao is Wang Qinruo is well-informed, and he was also shocked at this moment: "Guo Huai is a eunuch...... How dare he? ”

Xia Zhu smiled coldly: "If the eunuch does something out of the ordinary, he is bolder than you and me." In the past, Taizong ascended the throne, and the credit of the great eunuch Wang Jien was indispensable. Zhou Huaizheng was furious, and he could lead tens of thousands of troops into the imperial city. Guo Huai just used the name of the Queen Mother to force Cao to use it, what is it? ”
