Since that all-martial arts trip, the contradiction between Sun Chunming and Cao Bin has finally begun to become public, unless it is an occasion that has to meet, such as a court meeting, the two are absolutely not kings.

And the two women of Fu and Cao, although they still barely maintain a sisterhood, but they meet less and can not be less, and there is a superficial relationship, but Fu opened a gold and stone antique shop in the third ring of Luoyang because she has nothing to do, because she has a high vision, a lot of inventory and good, and the price is extremely fair, and it has suddenly become the best antique shop in Luoyang City, Fu doesn't seem to care about the quality of business, but occasionally goes to the antique shop to check the accounts, it looks like the official eunuch's wife to relieve boredom and play, And the Cao family has always liked these things, so every ten days and a half months, he will always go once to buy some gadgets or something.

After all, there is no Zhongtong Juntong No. 76 in these years, and this kind of joint method is difficult for anyone with a heart to notice, and even if it is detected, it seems to be useless.

In fact, to be honest, the two of them have done this a little bit, after all, these years pay attention to the harmony and difference of gentlemen, and the separation of political disagreement and personal relationship is clearer, but it is easy to spread a good name, and even if Zhao Dezhao has that needle-like heart, he may not have the strength to kill and kill, but after all, Sun Chunming and Cao Bin are relatively cautious and conservative politicians, and it is not a big mistake to insist on being careful, so the two of them have become more and more sympathetic to each other, and they feel more and more that the other party can be trusted.

About half a month later, the two of them tested each other almost, and they both felt that they could further deepen their cooperation, so on a sunny morning, Cao sold a Tang Dynasty fake painting imitating Gu Kaizhi.

This thing is not genuine, but it is also an ancient painting of the Tang Dynasty, it is not a fake, and it is still worth a little money. Fu took a knife and divided the painting into two from the middle, and sure enough, he found a letter from it, because the paper made of Jin Dynasty paintings is yellow and thick, so this letter is not afraid of being found in the middle.

Fu naturally knew that the stakes were high, and hurriedly saw that the letter was not Cao's handwriting, and secretly thought that it might be Cao Bin's handwriting, so he hurriedly transferred the letter to Sun Chunming.

Sun Chunming never doubted the reliability of the Fu family, so he naturally dismantled it in front of her, and also motioned for her to watch it together, and after reading it in a hurry, Sun Chunming sighed with a sigh of relief: "Cao Bin is such a stable person, he finally can't sit still, and he will admit defeat first." ”

Fu Shi was confused, because in her opinion, this letter was just a simple explanation that his military reform was about to enter substantive action, and attached all the detailed plans, which in her opinion were completely unnecessary to say so.

Besides, aren't they called political enemies, but confidants? Where does the word "defeat" come from?

Fu asked his doubts, Sun Chunming did not hide and play mysterious, and explained: "The relationship between me and Cao Bin, what you said is actually not right, we are not some superficial political enemies, but real political enemies, the contradiction between the political hall and the Privy Council is real, even if the two prime ministers are changed, there will be no difference, it should be said that we are both political enemies and confidants." ”

"Of course, the competition between us, of course, is not only for the contradictions between the political hall and the Privy Council, but also for the official affairs that can be said on the surface, whether these things are done well or not, in the final analysis, it is actually the ultimate manifestation of the power struggle.

"And what do you mean by surrender?"

"It's a little game of patience that I have with him. Madam, the so-called high place is unbearable, being an official to the point where I and Cao Bin have reached the top, especially today's official prestige is insufficient, young and shallow, coupled with this unprecedented seventy-year chaos, the two of us have actually had to become powerful ministers, it seems to be a real scenery, but there are officials above who seem to be modest, but in fact, they are eyeing each other, and there are hundreds of officials below If they are respectful, they are actually ambitious, like walking on thin ice! ”

Fu nodded in understanding, but she still didn't understand what it had to do with today's letter.

"The pressure of walking on thin ice, the most important thing is from the fear of the new official family, the new official family is not a faint king, now King Yan is more and more unambitious, Cao Bin's deterrence is getting lower and lower, and I, too, has changed from co-optation to fear, in other words, the two of us are the two mountains that he must move down if he is in charge of the world, I am more patient with Cao Bin, to put it bluntly, I can't stand this kind of day of walking on thin ice one step ahead of anyone, or I am comparing our own confidence and courage."

"It is said that the official family's fear of me is far greater than Cao Bin's, because after all, I have the best son in the world, but because of this, even if he wants to move me, he doesn't have the courage for a while, and I don't take charge of the army, so it can't be called an urgent need for him."

"Cao Bin is different, in the final analysis, he is not a pure martial artist, he is not a knife and a gun, like Yue'er before, there is no real lineage army, and his qualifications are slightly worse than Cui Yanjin, although the credit is great, but in the end there is still some emptiness, and the control of the soldiers and horses in Beijing is far from being firm, and the kindness he has been in the military commission for two years is actually nothing compared to Yue'er, so Cao Bin's foundation is actually not stable."

"Originally, in order to contain me, he was much safer than me, but these days I have shown forbearance and restraint everywhere, so that now, from the official family to the hundreds of officials and ordinary people, they all feel that he is fighting against me and has a slight advantage, so you say, who is the official family more afraid of now? At this time, Cao Bin, under his feet, is actually an abyss, which seems to be beautiful, but if he is not careful, he will never recover. ”

"But Cao Bin himself is not confused, he knows his emptiness, knows that his big and small lives are pinched in my hands, is he just a politician, and he is a prime minister, and he still wants to spend a bit of courage with me for a while, I have my son to help me support my waist, I will be afraid of him?"

"No, now Cao Bin can't sit still, he wants to grasp the military power in his hands and lay a solid foundation through military reform, but he knows that Yue'er in the Luoyang Forbidden Army has great prestige, and the Luoyang factory is impossible without me, so he is now handing over the plan to me, which is to stretch out his neck and admit that I am under the knife, this is waiting for me to change, and when the two of us give things to the end, the rest of the things on the bright side are all acting, and maybe there will be another full martial arts."

Hearing this, Fu sighed: "Cao Bin, a well-known humble gentleman, who never wastes his official duties because of selfishness, is actually ...... Is this what happened? ”

Sun Chunming thought about it, and seemed to be quite touched and said: "Who didn't come with a red stripe, and who wasn't loyal to the liver and courage when he became an official?" We are all forced, we all want to serve the country well, but the conditions do not allow it, who will let Taizu collapse early? ”
