Chapter 399: Waiting for the Rabbit
"Really?" Ye Zhiqiu pretended not to know: "It turns out that these two adults are also enthusiastic and quite loyal people." β
"Actually, when they said this, I was still a little hesitant, after all, I didn't point out that His Highness wanted to kill Gonggong Li. Later, I asked, what if it was a eunuch who was a close attendant of the Holy Lord? β
"Well, what do you two say?"
"They actually said that this matter is indeed dangerous, it is better to hand over this errand to the two of them to do, if it is done, it will be said that it is to give me, if it is done, it is I who told them!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that the friendship between these two deputy commanders and Lord Cao is so deep, and they really dare to act and defend Lord Cao, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Lao Cao shook his head like a rattle: "Lord Ye, you are too loyal, you don't know the flowery intestines in the hearts of those bad guys!" Before, I thought that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so I didn't tell Lord Ye about those things in my camp. Those two deputy commanders, tsk...... It's not a good thing. β
Ye Zhiqiu said blankly: "Really? I am a civil official, and it is inevitable that I am a little biased in hearsay about your military attachΓ©s, so naturally I don't know the root cause as Lord Cao, didn't I look away? β
"No, no, no, I'm not saying that Lord Ye can't see people accurately, I'm just saying that Lord Ye is too good-hearted and doesn't like to think badly of people. Actually, these two commanders looked down on me when they were in the same position as me, and they probably thought that I was a hillbilly with no family background, which was different from their generational generals. In fact, my Cao family is also a martial artist for several generations, I miss my old Cao family......"
As soon as Ye Zhiqiu heard that he had started to talk about his ancestors crossing the river on his back, he was impatient to listen at all, and hurriedly interrupted him: "No...... But on that day in the Hanyuan Palace, weren't these two deputy commanders still willing to recommend Lord Cao as the acting commander? β
"Hmph, they are aware of current affairs, and then the saint didn't say it, from the saint to the Han commander who died of illness, the replacement candidate in my heart is all my Cao someone, they praise it or not, I am not still the commander."
Ye Zhiqiu scolded secretly, shamelessly, and still smiled: "This is true, how can it be wrong to be hand-picked by the Holy Lord?" So why did these two give birth to flowery intestines again? β
"I know them too well! They just thought that this was a good opportunity to cling to the prince, and thought that it was better to pull me aside, so they didn't mention me if they said anything wrong. Lord Ye, you may not believe it, according to the urine nature of these two people, if you do it, you will secretly invite the prince to take credit, and if you mess up, you will definitely push me on the head! If I fell for them! I'm an idiot who got kicked in the head by a donkey! β
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't hold back a smile and didn't speak, and Lao Cao continued unsatisfied: "But what they don't know is that even if I, Lao Cao, am not smart, but there is Lord Ye secretly helping, how can it be messed up?" Isn't it? β
As he spoke, he changed his smiling face and accompanied Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Lord Ye treats me with all my heart, how can I not know?" What's more, Lord Ye also mentioned the matter of the children to me last night, with such a deep friendship between us, can the two turtle grandsons know a ghost? I've thought about it, and as soon as this errand is done, let's invite His Highness over for a drink! Belch...... This time I won't go to my house, go to Lord Ye's house! Lord Ye is the east, and he can speak better than me, so we have to make the prince feel that in the future, we will be a reliable and loyal minister...... Uh, no......
Not four candidates. Lao Cao thought that in addition to Ye Zhiqiu and himself, he would add his son to the names of the loyal ministers in the future, so he changed his words to no four, but as a result, he said it quickly and became not three or four.
Ye Zhiqiu still smiled, nodded and praised: "Of course it's nothing for me to be a host, but most of my actions this time are the credit of Lord Cao." You see, it is Lord Cao's soldiers who are used, and it is Lord Cao's idea that is set, and the prince will reward him in the future, how dare I be proud of my achievements? It's just that it's too early to tell. There are some things that I have just thought about, and Lord Cao still needs to have some ideas. β
Cao Feihu was worried about going to Haidingzhuang and didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly asked, "Lord Ye gave me advice." β
"Since it is surrounding Zhuangzi, there must be some reason, can Lord Cao think about it?"
Cao Feihu spread his hands with a bitter face, indicating no.
Is this pig brain a good candidate? Ye Zhiqiu secretly cursed in his stomach.
"Hehehe, Master Cao doesn't have to be anxious, I have a solution. In the past, there was a minister named Shanbao in the former dynasty, who was the first favorite minister in the court, and because he was protected by the emperor, he often did not take the prince in his eyes. Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and wanted to calm the grievances he suffered in the old days, so he found a reason and took his life, but he was of a very high rank, and his high-sounding words still had to be announced to the world. One of the crimes of the new emperor is one of the crimes I remember: 'Extravagance and overstepping, I don't know what kind of lung and intestine'......"
Lao Cao couldn't understand these words, and asked, "Is this ...... What does that mean? β
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said: "To put it simply, the new emperor said that there are a lot of pearls and gems in the house of this good treasure, which are bigger and better than those in the inner treasury, this is the intention of arrogance, and it should be beheaded!" β
Lao Cao suddenly realized, thought for a while and asked: "I understand what Lord Ye meant, but what if I wait for Haidingzhuang to be surrounded, and the pearls and gems found are smaller than those in the palace?" β
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help frowning, if he said the same thing to Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, I am afraid that he would have already understood what to do, and the elm pimple in front of him couldn't even knock it out.
Well, you have to be patient, didn't you decide to use him because he was stupid in the first place?
"Master Cao, let's surround Zhuangzi later, and we don't need to search for it, first lock people up and don't leave the news. You go and find a well-spoken soldier, I will teach him a few words, and let him go to the palace to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, and say that someone secretly reported that this Gonggong Li had secretly hidden the trespassing, and Haidingzhuang had been surrounded, so please make a decision. β
Lao Cao looked dazed: "And then?" β
"If His Royal Highness didn't mean to kill Gonggong Li, of course it wouldn't be anything, on the contrary, he might rush over and give you ......"
ββ¦β¦ Scolding? β
"That's right! And then that's it. β
"Then what if there is a intention to kill Gonggong Li?"
"When His Royal Highness hears the words "Trespassing", he will naturally understand the meaning, and he will definitely take a few things out of the palace quietly and hand them over to the soldier to bring back, and then Lord Cao will search the house again......"
"Oh...... So that's it! Lao Cao woke up like a dream, "It's really a good plan!" But...... This is how it ...... Well, I mean, if the Holy Gods knew about this method in the future, would they cut me out? β
"Don't worry, there are royal things to do as physical evidence, and then find a so-called whistleblower as a witness, and this is all right
It's all there. Even if the saint understood what was going on, he knew that this royal thing would definitely not be able to be obtained without the prince's fake hand, so he would not delve into it. β
said that he was relieved, but Lao Cao was still not at ease, and asked again: "Then how big of pearls should I ask His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
Ye Zhiqiu was almost irritated when asked, what did he care about?
"Bring the biggest one in the palace! Doesn't that have to be trespassing? β
"Oh, oh, listening to Lord Ye's words, it's really better than reading a book for ten years." Lao Cao finally put his mind at ease.
Ye Zhiqiu was so said that his forehead was sweating, and he scolded in his stomach: You are better than ten years of study, but I am afraid that I will lose ten years of life!
In the imperial capital at dawn, there were no people on the streets, and the cold of the wind and snow drove away the vendors who went out to sell breakfast.
Cao Feihu rushed to Haidingzhuang on the west side of the imperial capital with 500 people from the Dragon Scale Army. Five hundred people is not much, but it is more than enough to surround a house.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has used the troops in the battalion since he took office, and it is actually used in this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, Lao Cao really has some reluctance in his heart.
I brought 500 people with the dragon scale army, just to kill a half-dead old eunuch?
But if you don't do this kind of thing yourself, the two deputy commanders can rush to do it.
You must know that there is never a shortage of people to do things in this world, only people who can do things.
Lao Cao originally wanted to ask a few more words what to do when he arrived at Haidingzhuang, but Ye Zhiqiu was already leaning on the side and closing his eyes to recuperate. Lao Cao thought that after all, he was embarrassed to wake people up so early in the morning, so he could only not disturb him with interest, but he didn't know that Ye Zhiqiu was irritated and lazy by his stupidity, and blindly pretended to be asleep.
After more than half an hour, I finally arrived in front of Haidingzhuang.
There are many gate compounds in this area, and all of them are houses purchased by the eunuchs in the palace. Because most of them work in the palace, although there are many houses, there are almost no people living in them, and they are just idle.
Soon, the Dragonscale Army surrounded one of the magnificent mansions.
This is the mansion of Emperor Wen's former Gonggong Li.
Ye Zhiqiu sat in the car and quietly lifted the curtains to take a look,
I saw that there were already more than a dozen guards lined up around the mansion, and they were all guards in the palace, and they should have been temporarily transferred, needless to say, they could guess that this must be the idea of the crown prince Li Chongyan, and he was a little determined at the moment.
"Lord Cao, please see, isn't it strange that those guards were supposed to guard the palace, but they came out of the palace to guard a eunuch?"
Lao Cao saw that it was indeed the case, and nodded: "So it seems...... Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really mean this? β
"If you have this intention, you will find out when you get out of the car and ask."
"How do you ask?"
Ye Zhiqiu beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over with his ear.
After a while, Lao Cao got out of the car, got back on the tall horse, and ran to the gate of the mansion with the soldiers.
Although the rank of the Praetorian Guards was higher than that of the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw that there were many people and a person who led the uniform, and asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" β
"Cao Feihu, the commander of the Dragon Scale Army, is here! Ordered to round up the key criminals, you can quickly retreat! β
When the guards heard that it was the Dragon Scale Army, they immediately felt their scalps tingle.
