Looking at Hong Chengchou's face, Cao Wenzhao knew that he had offended his top boss, but he didn't regret it at all, in fact, because of this incident, Cao Wenzhao's daring to act left a deep impression in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, and those thousands of generals were even more infinitely worshipped.

Unconsciously, Cao Wenzhao established prestige in the army.

The army confrontation, Cao Wenzhao's beating of Xu Xianchun spread throughout the Beijing division within two hours, hearing the news, many officials were shocked, they were very angry, they killed twelve generals in the morning, and in the afternoon, it led to a confrontation with the army, beating the ministers, I don't know what Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao want to do? The two of them have taken the law and discipline of the court to heart.

After Xu Xianchun returned to Beijing, he went to meet Wei Zhongxian and wanted Wei Zhongxian to take this breath for himself.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Xu Xianchun, who was bruised and swollen on the left side of his face, and was also very angry.

"This Cao Wenzhao is really bold, he dares to beat the important ministers of the court, Xu Dudu, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you in front of the emperor."

Xu Xianchun said gratefully: "Then thank you to Father-in-law Wei, but I really can't swallow this breath and don't hide it from my father-in-law." I have already sent someone to the Nine Gates of Beijing, and just waiting for Cao Wenzhao to enter Beijing, I will arrest him and let him suffer humiliation. ”

"Reckless, Cao Wenzhao is a reckless man, is it possible that you are too? At this time, the emperor had just promoted him to the chief officer of the three major battalions, and it was the time of grace, if you wanted to arrest Cao Wenzhao, what reason would you have? ”

"Just because he dares to beat the court officials, my Beizhen Fusi will arrest him for some reason."

"You tell me the truth, is the 180,000 taels of silver really your reach?" Wei Zhongxian suddenly thought of this matter and said solemnly.

"Father-in-law Wei has said more than once that he can't touch this salary, of course the lower officials don't dare, this salary was withheld by the household department, and it was a document signed by Guo Shangshu."

"Guo Yunhou, doesn't he know that this silver tael was hand-picked by the emperor? How dare he do it? ”

"Father-in-law Wei doesn't know, Guo Shangshu has some prestige in the court, and he is relatively honest as an official, he goes through the proper procedures, records the household department, signs documents, and the lower officials can't stop it, according to Guo Shangshu's meaning, it is to make up for the 120,000 taels of silver to the three major battalions at the end of the year, who knows that this Cao Wen Zhaoduan is not a son of man, and he dares to make such a big fuss."

"If the household department is also involved, we are sure to put Cao Wenzhao to death, but, Xu Xianchun, you sent people to block the nine gates and want to arrest Cao Wenzhao, but I'm afraid it won't succeed?"

"Why? His mansion is in Beijing. Xu Xianchun said without answering.

"Cao Wenzhao is not as good as Hong Chengchou, he was born in the military, and he is a little unaccustomed to living in the mansion, if my guess is right, he must live in the camp tonight, and only the emperor's holy decree will work if he wants to enter the city, but if you go to arrest him, it will inevitably make the emperor unhappy, and wait until the big court meeting two days later, we will make it difficult for Cao Wenzhao to eat and go around." Wei Zhongxian can sit in this position, of course, he has real talent and real learning, he understands that if he doesn't make a move at this time, then the people who follow him will have some ideas, which is extremely unfavorable to himself, he understands the emperor's intentions, but this time for his own interests, he can't help but compete with the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen of the Palace of Cultivating the Heart learned from Wang Chengen's mouth what was happening outside the city, Long Yan was furious, threw all the pieces to the ground, and said loudly: "I personally interrogated the silver taels, they also dare to move, do you really think that I can do nothing and can only be slaughtered by others, do you think that I dare not kill people with people, Xu Xianchun, let him roll into the palace, I want to see who gave him this guts?" Zhu Youzhen did not blame Cao Wenzhao for half of the meaning, but put all the blame on Xu Xianchun, in fact, this is Zhu Youzhen's preconceived idea, however, even if it is Cao Wenzhao's fault, Zhu Youzhen will be saved to the end, he also understands in his heart the weight of Xu Xianchun in the eunuch party, and also knows that it may be because of this incident that he confronted the eunuch forces represented by Wei Zhongxian for the first time after ascending the throne, but since he has taken this step, there is absolutely no possibility of retreating, and contradictions and confrontations will appear sooner or later.

Everyone in the Heart Cultivation Palace, including Wang Chengen, lowered their heads.

"Are you all deaf, you can't hear what I'm talking about, I asked you to tell Xu Xianchun and let him get into the palace." Zhu Youzhen's voice became louder and louder, so frightened that the eunuchs, slaves and maids all knelt down and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Your Majesty, Xu Xianchun has already entered the palace, but he went to Gonggong Wei." Wang Chengen said in a low voice.

"Hmph, I'm going to complain to my master." Zhu Youzhen sat down, his thoughts slowly calmed down, the performance of the imperial history and Huang Liji were enough to suppress it, but two days later, the great court meeting could not be avoided, and it was inevitable that there would be a dragon and tiger fight, this was the first time he confronted Wei Zhongxian, and he should be completely prepared, otherwise if he lost, his face would be small, and it would be a great problem to rectify the obstacles encountered by the three major battalions.

The palace calmed down, and after Xu Xianchun came out of the palace, he went to Cui Chengxiu's mansion to visit, and after discussing with him, he returned to his mansion and quietly waited for the big court meeting two days later.

After nightfall, Hong Chengchou, who returned to the city, went to Huang Liji's mansion to visit and ask for help.

"Chengchou, you and Cao Wenzhao are not at fault, and the reason for killing the generals is because they have a reason to beat Xu Xianchun, and it is also because Xu Xianchun said wildly, you can rest assured, this official will definitely help you speak at the court meeting in two days." Since he decided to get close to Zhu Youzhen, Huang Liji will always persevere, he knows better than anyone else that Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youzhen are both tigers, but one mountain does not allow two tigers, the two of them will be divided sooner or later, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, but he is the widow of the first emperor, his position will not be kept for long, in order to be able to let himself have some influence after retreating to the second line, he must try his best to support a successor, Hong Chengchou is the best candidate at this time.

"Thank you, teacher, but General Cao is really a little reckless, he dared to beat Xu Xianchun, it happened in a hurry, and the students didn't stop it, making the teacher embarrassed, it was really the student's sin." Hong Chengchou said sincerely, but he put the blame on Cao Wenzhao.

These details were automatically ignored by Huang Liji, and he waved his hand and said: "The emperor let the two of you enter Beijing to rectify the three major battalions, that is, he has already made up his mind to reuse the two of you, with the support of the emperor and this official, the odds of victory are seven or eight out of ten, and you don't need to worry." ”

After listening to Huang Liji's words, Hong Chengchou felt a little calmer.

On the second day, early in the morning, Zhu Youzhen summoned Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Shi Fenglai, the assistant minister of the cabinet, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, the left servant of the household department, Gao Juyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Tian Ergeng, the secretary of the military department, Cui Chengxiu, the commander of the three battalions, Hong Chengchou, the commander of the three battalions, and Xu Xianchun, the governor of the Fusi of Beizhen, entered the Qianqing Palace to face the saint, Wei Zhongxian was not among the people summoned, this is a small trick of Zhu Youzhen, to strip the backbone of the main heart, and let Xu Xianchun say some unashamed words for tomorrow's big court meeting.

After the eight people saluted and got up, Zhu Youzhen looked at everyone without saying a word.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Youzhen looked at Cui Chengxiu and said softly: "Cui Shangshu, have you ever heard that the three major battalions confronted the forbidden army yesterday and almost fought with weapons. “

"Your Majesty, the minister knows about this,"

"According to my law, what should I do if I commit this great sin?" Zhu Youzhen said word by word.

"Kill." Cui Chengxiu said.

"Dang Chop, Xu Xianchun, did you hear that?" Zhu Youzhen kicked the ball to Xu Xianchun's body, and the implication was to put the blame on Xu Xianchun's body.
