Just when Emperor Jingtai was hesitating, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the Si Governor, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, thought they had a plan, and the two gathered in Shi Heng's mansion from time to time, and they did not shy away from the criticism of others at all.

Within a few days, Xu Youzhen came to the door and saw Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang drinking in the side hall, so he was angry and asked: "I don't know what happened to the right governor and Cao Gonggong, they are so happy!" ”

Shi Heng smiled and explained Cao Jixiang's strategy, and then asked, "How?" In this way, His Majesty controlled more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and Yu Qian and Liu Juntao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were all busy in vain, and made wedding dresses for His Majesty in vain! And Your Majesty will definitely take it lightly because of this matter, thinking that he has the upper hand in the court, and it will be much more convenient for us to act in the future! ”

Cao Jixiang also said on the side: "Yes! It's a two-pronged solution! ”

After speaking, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang pulled Xu Youzhen into the table and prepared for the three of them to have a few drinks together.

But he didn't want Xu Youzhen to say angrily: "Right Governor! Grandpa Cao! You're so confused! Can such a strategy be come up with? It must have been someone else's idea, and the person who came up with the idea is just a piece of rubbish! ”

Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang were very angry when they heard this, but because of their feelings, it was difficult for them to say that this plan was come up by themselves.

So, Cao Jixiang asked in a cold voice: "Then Lord Xu has to make it clear, what's wrong with this strategy of killing two birds with one stone!" ”

Xu Youzhen said: "The two adults only think that controlling more than 100,000 Gyeonggi garrisons can paralyze Your Majesty, and can make Yu Qian and Liu Jun Taokong happy, have you ever thought that once Your Majesty really controls more than 100,000 Gyeonggi garrisons that have completed training, will Emperor Taishang still have a chance?" Your Majesty can rely on these hundreds of thousands of troops, as well as the courtiers in the court, to completely control the government and government, and even directly depose the crown prince! ”

Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang were stunned when they heard this, both of them were smart but were mistaken by cleverness, and they actually ignored such an important fact!

"Previously, the Gyeonggi garrison of more than 100,000 belonged to different forces in the DPRK and China, and His Majesty could still restrain his rat trapping, fearing that it would provoke a rebellion; If the hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi garrisons are reorganized by Liu Juntao and then led by Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, it can also ensure that this army is neutral, and His Majesty will have some scruples; But once Your Majesty controls the elite army of more than 100,000 people who are close at hand, what do you do to protect the Emperor? What to take to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Hearing this, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang's faces were already very ugly, and Shi Heng deliberately glared at Cao Jixiang fiercely, eager to rush up and slap him.

Cao Jixiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The situation has not yet reached this point, maybe Your Majesty will think of the stability of the court, and will not abolish the crown prince without authorization, and will not do anything to the emperor." ”

In the end, Cao Jixiang's voice was already very small, and it was estimated that he didn't even have the confidence.

Shi Heng stood up a little annoyed and walked around the side hall, thinking about how to salvage the situation.

And Xu Youzhen was still angry, and continued: "And! The previous assassination of Liu Juntao was not the handiwork of the two adults? ”

Shi Heng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Cao Jixiang, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Cao Jixiang smiled bitterly and said, "It was indeed done by the miscellaneous family and Lord Shi. ”

Xu Youzhen sighed heavily when she heard this, and said in a deep voice: "My two adults! Since you are determined to get rid of Liu Juntao, then show some real skills, put in some blood, and find some reliable hard hands! Now Liu Juntao is still training the Gyeonggi garrison, and he is doing a good job! The two adults will either kill the person directly, or don't do it! Now it's okay, the attention of the entire capital, and even the entire imperial court, is focused on Liu Juntao's body, and now it's impossible for us to stumble in secret, it's just a waste! ”

When Xu Youzhen said that she was excited, she couldn't help but curse, but Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang didn't say anything, after all, she did something not very beautiful, so that the situation was so bad, and it was not good to go back directly.

Cao Jixiang sighed and said, "That Liu Juntao is too strong!" To be honest, the miscellaneous family and Shi Dudu have already overestimated that Liu Juntao, and we are looking for veterans from various towns in the nine sides, these people are either the night guards and sharp whistles of the various departments, or the heavy armor and family members of the various departments! And dozens of people besieged Liu Juntao and more than a dozen other people, but they still had a calculation or no intention, they were suddenly attacked, and they all let that Liu Juntao kill them, I heard that more than a dozen people in these dozens of good hands were killed by Liu Juntao alone, I really can't believe it! ”

Shi Heng also sighed: "Yes! To be honest, Liu Juntao is indeed a tiger general! If it weren't for Liu Juntao's intention to get along with the Governor of Pontus, the Governor of Pontus really didn't want to kill them all! ”

"But that's what happened now!"

Xu Youzhen said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan came here today to discuss with the two adults, what should we do next!" ”

Shi Heng frowned, and said: "For the sake of today's plan, we still have to stabilize Your Majesty, and we must not let Your Majesty take control of the Gyeonggi garrison, this matter will depend on Gonggong Cao!" ”

Xu Youzhen also clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what happens to Gong Cao's intentions?" ”

Cao Jixiang smiled bitterly and said, "Does the miscellaneous family have any other choice?" ”

Then, Shi Heng said: "Now that everyone on the Gyeonggi garrison can't get involved, that is the best ending, and when the time comes, we and the Chinese official forces of the DPRK and Your Majesty will each rely on their own abilities!" However, it must be ensured that these hundreds of thousands of troops control the military department, and the military department is controlled by Shangshu Yu Qian, and Liu Juntao must not be allowed to plant people in the army! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Heng looked at Xu Youzhen and said, "This matter is up to Master Lao Xu!" ”

Xu Youzhen pondered for a while, and then said: "I can give this matter a try, but that Liu Juntao is a soft and hard person, whether this matter is successful or not, the lower officials are not too sure!" ”

Shi Heng said: "Whether it is successful or not, you still have to give it a try!" I think Lord Xu might as well have a showdown with Liu Juntao directly and find a place to talk. Then Liu Juntao doesn't like to beat around the bush, so let's get straight to the point! ”

Xu Youzhen was slightly startled, and asked, "Since we are going to negotiate, what is our bottom line?" I also hope that the governor of Shi will make it clear that the lower officials should go and talk about it. ”

Shi Heng pondered for a long time, and then beckoned, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang both leaned over, Shi Heng whispered in the ears of the two for a while, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang's faces also changed several times.

A few days later, Emperor Jingtai was still a little hesitant to control the more than 100,000 Gyeonggi garrisons, so he called Cao Jixiang for inquiry.

Cao Jixiang took out the rhetoric he had already prepared, and said that he was too radical and wanted to contribute to Emperor Jingtai, so he was a little rash.

Thinking about it at this time, Cao Jixiang still felt that Emperor Jingtai should not act rashly, so as not to make all forces in the DPRK and China mistakenly think that Emperor Jingtai was ready to make a move against the Emperor Taishang and the crown prince.

Cao Jixiang said a lot in a row, and said the situation that Emperor Jingtai faced after controlling the Gyeonggi garrison, and said that it was very critical, so that Emperor Jingtai, who was already very hesitant, suddenly retreated, and stopped mentioning this matter.

That night, Cao Jixiang sent someone to tell Shi Heng that "peace of mind is the best"!

Shi Heng was also relieved when he received the news, although he didn't know how long Cao Jixiang's ability would be able to hold off Emperor Jingtai, but at least for now, he could guarantee that Emperor Jingtai would not worry about the control of the hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi garrisons!

At this time, before Xu Youzhen could contact Liu Juntao, Shi Heng couldn't sit still, and sent people to urge Xu Youzhen one after another.

I don't know why, Shi Heng always felt that Liu Juntao was not something he could control and predict, so it was better to negotiate it earlier.

Even if they can't talk, Shi Heng has to make some preparations in advance, so as not to make some trouble with Liu Juntao at that time, and it will not end well for him!

Two days later, Xu Youzhen also sent a message back to Shi Heng: Tomorrow evening, contact him!

Shi Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
