Chapter 474: The Villain's Calculation (II)
Looking at the other party's contemptuous and arrogant attitude, it is unrealistic to say that Cao Jixiang is not annoyed and angry in his heart, after all, in the past six months since he worshiped Cao Rui as his godfather, he has been polite to others in the palace and in the palace, when have you been so angry?
However, he knew better that the other party was qualified to treat him like this. Who made the family the governor of the Jinyi Guard? Even if he doesn't have this identity, just the right-hand man trusted by the prince and even more trusted than Gonggong Cao is enough to make Cao Jixiang only look up.
This realization made him only hold back his anger, and he had to continue to analyze with a flattering smile: "Not to mention the grudge between you and Lu Zhen earlier, just last year, didn't he rely on some of his subordinates to lose the face of Jinyiwei?" This matter is still mentioned from time to time in Jingzhong to this day, don't you want to take revenge for this arrow?
"Also, who is an official in the court now doesn't know that Lu Zhen has ruined the good things of the prince several times, but because he has someone to protect, there is no way to take him. Now, if you take advantage of the prince's absence in the capital to help him remove this thorn in the eye, when the prince returns victoriously, he will naturally feel a surprise, and it will be a logical thing to reward you at that time.
"Compared with the contradiction between the prince and the governor and Lu Jin, this friction between the prince and the governor today is nothing at all, and it must be clear at a glance with the wisdom of the governor. Therefore, today, the governor helped to deal with Lu Jin, not only for Gonggong Cao, but also for Gonggong Wang and Jinyiwei. ”
After listening to this person's analysis, Ma Shun's body unconsciously sat up a little straight, his eyes were no longer as mocking and ridiculing as before, and the contempt for this little eunuch in his heart had been completely eliminated.
In fact, when Cao Jixiang opened his mouth and wanted to ask himself to help deal with Lu Jin, Ma Dudu was already a little moved. However, if he was so easily supported by a lowly little eunuch - even if it was Cao Rui who really made the decision, but in Ma Shun's opinion, the other party had to bow down to himself - then his face would be a little unbearable. That's why he refused with an arrogant attitude, lest someone spread the word that he was afraid of Lu Jin.
But now, after the other party's analysis, he felt that it was really worth doing. After all, this can be done in front of the prince, and there are many things like this.
This made Ma Shun unconsciously begin to re-examine the little eunuch in front of him. If all this was said under Cao Rui's guidance, it would be nothing; But if this is all the response rhetoric he quickly came up with, then the future of this little eunuch who has no status in the palace is limitless.
It's a pity that Ma Shun can't see this point, and the other party bowed his head respectfully after saying this, and he didn't even dare to make contact with him, which made him unable to see his true inner activities, let alone make further judgments.
But soon, Ma Shun turned his attention to a new question: "What you said is the first thing, but this governor asks you, since even the prince has no way to take that Lu Jin, what can our Jinyi Wei do to him?" ”
There's a door! As soon as he asked such a question, Cao Jixiang felt a burst of joy in his heart, knowing that the other party had been moved by his own words. As long as he is given a satisfactory answer on this question, the matter of asking him to have an accident will already be seven or eight points.
His mind turned quickly, and after hesitating for a moment, Cao Jixiang replied: "If you go back to the governor, the person that Lu Zhen relies on is just the maintenance of those important ministers in the court. But that's no longer the case......"
"Really? How can I see that it doesn't make a difference? Hu Hu and Yu Qian, who have been protecting him, are still in Beijing, but the prince is now outside. No matter how we look at it, it is more unfavorable now than it was in the past. Ma Shun frowned and expressed his concerns, which is also the key to his failure to retaliate against Lu Jin.
The corners of Cao Jixiang's mouth suddenly hooked up a smile: "Dudu, you only saw the surface but didn't see the inside." On the surface, it seems that it is Hu Hu and Yu Qian who are protecting Lu Jin, but in fact, this is not the case. The one who can really give them the ability to keep him safe under the threat of the prince and the Jinyi guard is His Majesty today. And now, His Majesty has also left Beijing, which means that the person who can really protect him Lu Zhen is not here!
"As long as the governor finds someone who can communicate with foreign enemies, or deduct grain and grass on Lu Jin's head, and send Jinyi Wei to take him to prison, then everything will be simple. Even if Hu Hu or Yu Qian wanted to save him, it would take half a month for Shangshu to go to His Majesty before the result came. And in the hands of Jin Yiwei, it only takes a day or two to make him admit to all the charges, isn't it? ”
When he said this, Ma Shun's heart also moved suddenly. Thinking about it carefully, it is really as he said, now that there is no Son of Heaven, even if Hu Hu and they want to protect Lu Jin, they are not able to catch it. It's ridiculous that he is still looking ahead and not daring to start.
This is indeed feasible and imperative! However, before that, Ma Shun decided to take another look at the ability of the little eunuch in front of him: "Okay, this governor will agree to your request." Just when the other party was overjoyed when he heard this, he thanked him again, he added: "However, since this matter was proposed by you, there is a matter that also needs to be handled by you...... otherwise my Jinyi guard will have to listen to the command of your celebrant and a pen-writing eunuch, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
But Cao Jixiang still understood his intentions, so he nodded without the slightest embarrassment: "Please also ask Ma Dudu to give orders." ”
"It's very simple, if you want to take down Lu Jin, you have to have some empirical evidence. And it's not good for my Jinyi guard to go to the military department for no reason, that's too suspicious. But your celebrant is different, it's too normal for your people to appear in the yamen of his military department, and it's not a problem to send something to Lu Jin's public house, right? ”
Ma Shun's request made Cao Jixiang slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he nodded and agreed. The other party wants to pull himself and his godfather in, so as to save his side from shirking responsibility if something happens in the future. Now everything has to rely on Jinyi Wei, and he naturally doesn't dare to show the slightest uncooperative attitude.
Seeing his promise, Ma Shuncai smiled and said, "Then you go." When this is done, come and report it again, and our Jinyi guards will go to get people. ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Cao Jixiang slowly withdrew from the hall in a tangled heart. The other party didn't even prepare the evidence to blame Lu Jin, obviously all this had to be done by him, which made him embarrassed again.
But now, Cao Jixiang has no other choice, so he can only go all the way down this avenue that harms Lu Jin. Fortunately, some of his handwriting should be found in the celebrant now, and then it will be enough for Jinyiwei to imitate and write a very problematic letter. And as long as a person is in prison, are you afraid that he will not bear this crime?
Thinking about all this, Cao Jixiang, who was heading towards the palace, had a smug smile on his face, and his steps became much brisker. Because he knew that as long as he helped his godfather get rid of Lu Zhen this time, then he would really be able to gain a foothold in the celebrant eunuch, and when the prince came back, it would be even better......

On the occasion of the Son of Heaven's personal expedition, he will start a big war with the Mongolian people that is related to the future trend of the Ming Dynasty, and some people are just thinking about how to retaliate and how to seek more benefits; And some people are constantly thinking about how to help the front to win this battle.
The officials who stayed in the capital were like this, and even Zhu Qiyu, the servant king who was in the palace, had the same thoughts. Although he was provoked by Lu Zhen to have a hard top with Cao Rui before, after carefully reading the notes that were submitted from various places, he unconsciously put his mind on how to do things more completely and more appropriately.
As a result, he made decisions more slowly, after all, he had never really dealt with government affairs before, and he really lacked experience in this area, and he just relied on his own talents. Moreover, compared to the Son of Heaven, he did not have cabinet officials to help filter out some content that was not too important, let alone they distilled the content of the recitals for him, so the workload was even greater.
The result of these reasons is that since the careful review of the recital, every day, Zhu Qiyu has to be busy from morning to night, his eyes are all over, but the matter has not been completely dealt with. Of course, this is not only because of the external reasons just mentioned, but also because the celebrant deliberately sent some notes that could have been ignored.
After tossing like this for five or six days, Zhu Qiyu's spirit became more and more tired, and sometimes he opened a notebook, but he couldn't understand what was written in it for half a day. This morning, he had the problem of not concentrating again, and he fell into a drowsiness again after a recital in front of him.
"Your Highness, this is a report that the Ministry of War urgently needs to send to the north, and please read it quickly so that you can send it out." A voice woke him up from his misery. After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qizhen took the song from the little eunuch and glanced at it.
But now his spirit is completely sluggish, and he can't grasp the point after reading for a long time, which makes the pen he holds unable to fall for a long time.
When the people below saw it, they urged: "Your Highness, this note has been urged very tightly from outside, and I hope you will make a decision soon." In fact, the Ministry of War has already had an idea, just waiting for your Highness to seal and approve it. ”
"Oh......" Zhu Qiyu, who was dizzy, was urged by the other party, and he still trusted the military department, so he didn't take a closer look, and picked up his seal and stamped it with a bright red mark. But he didn't notice that the little eunuch who saw his move had secretly curled an arc at this moment!
