Liang Shicheng walked back to the study and sat down, opened the envelope with a knife, and took out the letter written by Li Yanqing, the letter was not long, but basically explained the cause and effect, and finally said that the seed master had come to Bianjing to apologize to the Son of Heaven, and implored him to intercede for the seed master at his convenience.

Liang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, did the master come to Bianjing? Why didn't I know about such a big thing?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and immediately got up and shouted: "Prepare the carriage, I will enter the palace immediately!" ”

After a short time, Liang Shicheng boarded a carriage and drove towards Ouchi under the escort of dozens of samurai.

In the carriage, Liang Shicheng squinted his eyes, thinking about the ins and outs of this matter, Taiwei Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao have always had a bad relationship, which Liang Shicheng knows very well, but Tong Guan's forces are mainly in Shaanxi and Hexi, and the forces of Seed Master Dao are in Hedong, the two of them are considered well water and do not violate river water, but Liang Shicheng didn't expect that Gao Yu also wanted to seek military power in the northwest, kill Seed Master Dao, and support his own people to take the position.

Many people think that Liu Yanqing is Tong Guan's person, but Liang Shicheng knows that Liu Yanqing has actually been pulled over by Gao Yu, and on the eve of the outbreak of the Western Xia Campaign, Gao Yu wanted to bring down the seed master and install Liu Yanqing as the main general, but also wanted to win the great merit of the Western Xia Campaign.

But Gao Yu alone can't bring down the Seed Master, he must have someone in the palace to do it, this is what Liang Shicheng is worried about, Gao Yu is very likely to find Li Yan, and the only one who can speak in front of the Son of Heaven is his own Li Yan.

Could it be that Gao Yu and Li Yan have secretly colluded?

In other words, Li Yan has begun to actively act in order to replace himself.

Li Yan is a rookie promoted by Liang Shi to bring down his old opponent Yang Jian, but Liang Shicheng didn't expect that after Li Yan took control of the power in the palace, he would no longer take himself in his eyes, which made Liang Shicheng hate it in his heart, but he was helpless.

Fortunately, Liang Shicheng mainly controls the power outside the palace, that is, the power to make edicts and approve the chapters, and Li Yan's power in the palace is basically the well water and does not interfere with the river water.

But Liang Shicheng knew in his heart that Li Yan's ambition was very big, and his hand would reach for him sooner or later, so Liang Shicheng was extremely vigilant about this.

Liang Shicheng's official room is in the Wende Palace, close to the imperial study of the Son of Heaven, but because Zhao Ji rarely comes to the imperial study, the recitals transferred by the imperial court or the recitals directly delivered by foreign officials are all gathered to him, and he is responsible for sorting out, and the small things will be approved by him, and the major things will be reported to the Son of Heaven, and Liang Shicheng's power comes from this, it can be said that this is his bottom line, and no one can infringe on it.

Liang Shicheng walked into the official room quickly, flipped through the pile of recitals on the table and in the box, but did not find the resignation letter of the master of the plant, "Hasn't it been sent yet?" He thought to himself.

At this time, the scribe Chu Hong walked in and saluted: "Does Taifu need help from his humble position?" ”

"Let me ask you, I'm not here this afternoon, has anyone ever come in?"

"Who dares to come in Taifu's official room?"

"Don't talk this nonsense, I'll just ask you, did anyone come in this afternoon?"

Chu Hong hesitated and said: "The child at home is sick, I will take care of the child in the afternoon, and Yang Qiu will be on duty." ”

"Where are the others? Get him for me. ”

Chu Hong walked out quickly, and after a while, a eunuch in his twenties walked in quickly, this person is called Yang Qiu, and he is also a calligrapher eunuch trained by Liang Shicheng since childhood, he is very good at imitating the handwriting of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and when Liang Shicheng passed on the fake handwriting of the Son of Heaven, Yang Qiu was responsible for writing.

"What do you have to tell the master to find a little slave?" Yang Qiu saluted respectfully.

"Let me ask you, I am not in the court this afternoon, who has come into my official room?"

Yang Qiu thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law Li came here once. ”

"Is it Li Yan?"

"Exactly, he said to send a little precious ambergris to Taifu, I was busy at the time, he put the ambergris on the table, and personally lit some in the incense burner, and then left, less than a cup of tea."

"Did he take anything?"

"Probably not! The lowly did not notice his hand at the time. ”

Liang Shicheng called Chu Hong up again and asked the two of them: "In the recital sent today, is there any recital of the Northwest Military Division?" ”

"It seems to be!"

Chu Hong remembered, "What I saw at noon should be on Taifu's table." ”

"But I don't have it on my desk, so where did it go?"

Chu Hong and Yang Qiu looked at each other, it seemed that they were really stolen by Li Yan, and now they were in big trouble.

Liang Shicheng gritted his teeth with hatred, damn bastard, he dared to steal his own power by indiscriminate means?

"Taifu, what now?"

Liang Shicheng pondered for a long time, then sat down and wrote a note, handed it to Chu Hong, "You go to Taiwei Tong's mansion and hand over this note to Taiwei Tong with your own hands." ”

"Obey!" Chu Hong took the note and walked quickly.

Liang Shicheng snorted coldly, "Fight with me, then we might as well give it a try!" ”

There was only one sentence in Liang Shicheng's note to Tong Guan, 'Gao Yu wants to replace Seed Master Dao with Liu Yanqing. ’

Liang Shicheng knew that this sentence was enough, and Tong Guan knew what to do?

..........

In the past two days, Cai Jing was a little sick, and he lay at home for two days, not so much because he was sick, but because his eldest son Cai You was sick.

Last summer, the Son of Heaven gave Cai You a house, and Cai You officially moved out to build an independent mansion, and from that time on, Cai Jing found that his eldest son was gradually disobedient.

Since the beginning of this year, Cai You has been against himself everywhere, but an incident that happened the day before yesterday made Cai Jing heartbroken, and fell ill in a fit of anger, his eldest son actually slandered himself in front of the Son of Heaven, saying that he was mediocre and old, and he was not capable of handling government affairs at all, if Li Yan hadn't secretly sent someone to tell him, he would still be kept in the dark.

Cai Jing was furious and sent someone to confront his son, but Cai You didn't come, and Cai Jing finally fell ill with anger.

Although he fell ill, it was not a major illness, and after two days of recuperation, he has gradually recovered.

What's more important is that Cai Jing has thought clearly of a truth, his son betrayed him, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven will not be able to escape the involvement, isn't it? In the past, it was his own brother Cai Bian who fought against him everywhere, Cai Bian died, but his son took over, is this just a coincidence?

Cai Jing has always thought on the bright side, since the Son of Heaven wants to use the eldest son to deal with himself, it means that his phase is relatively stable for a while and a half, and it is precisely after thinking about this that Cai Jing is in good spirits and is ready to go to court tomorrow.

Cai Jing had been transferred from the ward to the study, and in the study, Cai Jing was listening to his youngest son Cai Huang tell him an important matter.

"Just now, Gonggong Li found the child, and he asked me to tell my father and ask my father to assist Mrs. Gao appropriately."

Cai Wei is currently serving as the secretary of the provincial school book, that is, to accompany the prince to study, twenty-five years old this year, born to Cai Jing's favorite concubine, smart and practiced, is one of Cai Jing's most important sons, especially now that the eldest son has betrayed him, Cai Jing also attaches more importance to this younger son.

The son's words had no head or tail, which really puzzled Cai Jing, and he asked again: "Did Li Yan say anything for me to assist Gao Taiwei?" ”

"He didn't say anything specifically, I guess Captain Gao will come to his father, and Li Neishou just made a statement first."

Cai Jing nodded, his son was right, and he smiled again: "What clues can you read from this?" ”

The child felt that Li Yan's hand was getting longer and longer.

"There is indeed a point, but you have to understand one thing, without the permission of the official family or even hinting, Li Yan would not dare to touch Liang Shicheng's territory."

Cai Wei said respectfully: "My father used to teach his children that the essence of the emperor's art lies in balance, and I am afraid that Li Yan's hand length is also based on this reason. ”

Cai Jing couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that his son could draw inferences, and said with a smile: "You are right, the official family reuses the eunuchs to divide the power of the courtiers, Liang Shicheng is loyal and treacherous, and his thinking is cautious, he is the most suitable candidate, but he should not assassinate Yang Jian, so that the official family has suspicion, otherwise the official family will not reuse Li Yan's right to divide Liang Shicheng." ”

"But Yang Jian was killed by Liang Shan!"

Cai Jing smiled slightly, "If you really think so, it means that you are still too tender, the person who killed Yang Jian did a good job, and blamed Liangshan seamlessly, but you have to understand a truth, Yang Jian's death, who benefited the most, obviously not Liangshan thieves." ”

"The person who benefited the most was Liang Shicheng."

"That's why the official family is dissatisfied with him, so they will replace Liang Shicheng with Li Yan."

"Superseding?" Cai Wei asked puzzledly: "Didn't my father say just now that the official family used Li Yan just to divide the power of Liang Shicheng, how did it become a replacement now?" ”

Cai Jing smiled faintly, "Whether it's Li Yan or Liang Shicheng, they are all used to deal with civil officials, and the official family doesn't want conflicts within the eunuchs, just because Li Yan's qualifications are too shallow, and his experience and ability are insufficient, so the official family didn't let him replace Liang Shicheng for the time being, but it was only a matter of time before he replaced Liang Shicheng, so we had to have a forward-looking vision and stand in advance, which is why I abandoned Liang Shicheng and began to turn to Li Yan." ”

At this moment, a family member outside the door reported: "Master Qiqi, Gao Taiwei sent someone to send a letter to the master." ”

Cai Jing laughed, "It seems that the matter is still quite urgent, Hachiro, you go and take the letter next, and then hear what Gao Yu has to say." ”

Cai Wei walked out quickly, and walked back with a letter after a while, "Father, it's a letter from Gao Yu's compound, there is no message, and the content is in the letter." ”

Cai Jing took the letter and opened it, read it carefully, and his brows suddenly furrowed, it was actually the Northwest Army of the Cultivation Division.
