Fengxiang Hutong, Prince Gong's Mansion, "small house".

As mentioned above, the so-called "small house" is a "suite" in King Gong's study, which can only be entered from the study, and the other side pushes the window to face the water, without any "corner" to hear, which is the most secret. This place will only be used if King Gong consults with people on the most confidential matters.

In the "small house" at this time, two people sat opposite each other, one was King Gong, and the other was Guan Zhuofan.

At noon today, a group of military aircraft ministers were eating in the small kitchen of the military aircraft directly house, and when they arrived on duty, it was already past Haizheng.

Guan Zhuofan looked at the emptiness, and said to King Gong with a smile: "Sixth brother, I haven't visited the sixth sister-in-law in the house for a few days, and it is very disrespectful - if I am free today, I will go over to ask the sixth sister-in-law to say goodbye, okay?" ”

On King Gong's face, the look of surprise was fleeting, he smiled, and said: "Naturally, it is good, and it also saves your sixth sister-in-law from nagging in my ear when she sees the sky, saying something 'If you don't come and go often, your own brother will also be divided'." ”

Guan Zhuofan's "greeting for the sixth sister-in-law" is not empty and white-toothed, but prepared. He had prepared a very delicate Western head in advance, which was inlaid with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, which were so colorful that people's eyes were dazzled.

Gong Wang Fujin, what treasures have you not seen? But he also smiled and said: "The sixth sister-in-law is an old woman, where is it good to wear such a beautiful and delicate head?" That's not going to be done—okay, I'll take it, and when Dun Niu'er leaves the cabinet, I'll leave it to her as a dowry! ”

King Gong laughed, but Guan Zhuofan's face was slightly red.

After maneuvering around Fujin, King Gong ordered: open a "small house".

He knew it. Guan Zhuofan came over today to "visit the sixth sister-in-law". The purpose is complex and subtle though. But in the final analysis, it is still a pretense, and the first thing to put must be something extremely important to talk about with yourself.

This is the second time Guan Zhuofan has entered the "small house". Last time, when he was the governor of Jiangsu, he went to Beijing to meet His Majesty and persuade King Gong to support his plan to bring Xuan troops to the United States to quell the rebellion, which involved secrets. King Gong asked someone to open a "small house".

At that time, in the eyes of others, Guan Zhuofan was only a second-tier role in the "Gong Department", and King Gong was respected as the "King of Politics", and he was alone in national politics and high up. And now? Guan Zhuofan has become the king of Xuanjun and the foreman of the military aircraft, and his power status has far surpassed that of the powerful prince opposite, who "held the national government alone", has become him Guan Yixuan.

It really feels like a world away.

On the round table between the two people, there were eight fruit bowls with four dry and four wet. In addition to this, there is also a western red wine.

King Gong and Kwan Zhuofan. Sitting in the "sofa chair", one person is holding a high-legged crystal glass, and the wine in the cup is red.

Guan Zhuofan took a sip lightly and tasted it slowly, with a pleasant look on his face.

"The French hate it," he said with a smile, "but when it comes to the richness of red wines, France must be the number one - the cellars of the Sixth Brother's House, especially the fine wines." ”

"I have about two cases of this wine here, if you like it, I'll take one with me when I leave today."

"Then I'll thank Brother Sixth first."

"Speaking of this red wine," said King Gong, smiling to himself, "I think of something. Zhou Mall drank this kind of wine for the first time in my place, tasted it for a long time, frowned, and said something like this: 'Alas, it's all this kind of foreign thing, tired of the prince!' ’”

Guan Zhuofan's heart jumped: When did this happen? said "tired", then, was it the beginning of foreign affairs, King Gong was scolded as the "devil six", or was Cai Shouqi impeached and the empress dowager of the two palaces deposed him?

If it is the latter time, it can have something to do with him Guan Zhuofan, and King Gong said so, is there any extraneous meaning?

Zhou Mall, named Zupei, a former university scholar, a native of Henan Mall, King Gong therefore respectfully called him "Zhou Mall" - this person has shown his face before, that is, he and Bao Jun tried Shengbao, and was viciously abused by Shengbao "The women of the whole family, regardless of old and young, were all raped, and none of them were spared", so that they suffered a stroke and were paralyzed.

Soon after Shengbao was given death, Zhou Zupei also passed away.

was groaning, King Gong said again: "Now, I have taken off my shoulders, if you say 'this kind of foreign thing' is tiring, it should be your turn to be tiring." ”

That's a lot of fun!

Guan Zhuofan said with a smile: "The mall Xiangguo's witty words should be white!" If that's the case, I'm tracking the sixth brother Buwu, and I have to be with the former sages, and I am truly honored! ”

King Gong laughed, cocked his thumb, and said, "Yixuan, this is polite, but it is also courageous!" Hehe, I also have a light on my face! ”

Withdrawing his smile, he said, "Do you know about the Hongde Palace?" ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "Yes, I have heard about it - Xu Yinxuan is a big big comment!" I came today, in addition to asking the sixth sister-in-law for peace, I just want to ask the sixth brother for advice and listen to the progress. ”

Xu Yinxuan is Xu Tong, and Yinxuan is his word.

King Gong said, "Where do I have any 'advice'? Yixuan, you're saying the opposite—now it's me with a fly and a tail! But, hehe, this time, we brothers are really difficult brothers! ”

Xu Tong took advantage of the fact that Wu Ren and Weng Tongyi were not present, and "made a statement" to the little emperor, and attacked the minister's audience and various foreign affairs at length, thinking that it would not be leaked to the outside, but in fact, this is simply impossible - there are eunuchs on duty in Hongde Palace, and the little emperor himself also has a group of eunuchs, and this group of people has the most spiritual ears.

Guan Zhuofan and King Gong have their own "informants" in the palace, so even if Princess Rong'an does not tell the truth, Guan Zhuofan will know what happened in the Hongde Palace, and the same is true for King Gong.

Of course, Princess Rong'an's whistleblowing still has its special value - after the little emperor got out of school, her words and deeds in Yonghe Palace, if she didn't say it, Guan Zhuofan would not be able to know, let alone King Gong.

"The envoy is here, how to salute," Guan Zhuofan said, "This matter, starting from the sixth brother, one hand and one foot, back and forth, how much effort did it take us?" Now that the case has finally been decided, public opinion also thinks that the right is not lost. Xu Yinxuan disagreed, if the emperor was ...... because of this Blinded, rampant, shaken the friendship, this-"

At this point, he shook his head helplessly.

Of course, Guan Zhuofan and King Gong both know that Xu Tong is by no means a "sole dissent", and there is a large group of people behind him.

"It's not just the etiquette of the minister's visit," King Gong sneered slightly, "Hongde Palace, but whenever it is foreign affairs, Xu Yinxuan will take a sip - after all, the emperor has not yet completed his holy studies, and he has heard a lot of such words, and the days have passed, just like you just said, it is inevitable that he will not be deceived - how can he get it?" ”

"Where is the need for 'long days'?" Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "Sixth brother, do you only know about the affairs of the Hongde Palace, but don't you know what the emperor said after school?" ”

"Oh? This one...... What did you say? ”

"Some people say that the envoy who 'came to meet with foreign envoys' did a 'very good job'; the emperor said, 'The original 'Treaty of Tientsin' was signed to a damn extent!'" Now it's just an extra leg, what's the best? ’”

King Gong's eyes were full of light, and the muscles on his face twitched violently.
