Qian Ningcai said in front of Shang Fenfen that he hated being coerced the most, and Roddick came to such a trick again, although he was angry, but the handle was really in the hands of people, plus since King Ning had the courage to rebel, he was no better than Shang Fenfen but a smart woman, he couldn't and didn't dare to act rashly. So, he patiently consulted with Roddick for a while, and when he heard him explain the plan, he was shocked.

The purpose of this old fox entering Beijing is obviously to make a big fuss in the capital, otherwise this time the matter is so sudden, where can he make such a plan!

"Although Qian Ye used to be the avant-garde commander of the government army, but now that group of men and horses are suppressing bandits in southern Jinan, and the fight is in full swing, and now that the first month has passed, it is impossible for you to transfer people back beyond those sons. As for the rest, they were taken away by Xu Xun, Marquis of Pingbei. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of Jingying and Jingwei stationed in the capital, and you can't see enough people in the inner factory and the east factory. Therefore, if you want to succeed in one fell swoop, you can only take risks. Didn't Qian Ye say that he would never see the emperor? You go to face the saint under the pretext that Xu Xun and Liu Jin encountered bandits on Poyang Lake and were besieged and lost contact, and then volunteered to go for reinforcements. I will spread the news to Liu Jin and Xu Xun's henchmen, and take advantage of the chaos when the time comes! ”

Although the first part of this idea made Channing have some bad premonitions, and thought that Roddick was going to let him take advantage of the occasion to assassinate, but when he heard the second half, he finally put his mind at ease, and secretly thought that as long as the soldiers and horses were in hand, he could do things much more calmly. So, after quietly leaving, he knew that it was no further and immediately rushed to the palace. Just when he went to the celebrant first, and then turned back to Donghua Gate, he happened to meet Cao Yuan head-on.

Before the position of the secretary of the military department was hot, Cao Yuan had a fever in his head and followed Liu Yu into the cabinet. But the wish is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Don't say that you are competing with Liu Yu and competing for favor in front of Liu Jin. The two of them together can't be worth Li Dongyang's one! Especially when Liu Jin left, the two of them had a hard time, no matter what was the argument in the cabinet, he and Liu Yu just rolled up their sleeves and stood shoulder to shoulder, and they were not at all the opponents of Li Dongyang, who quoted the old rules and regulations. Even if Cao Yuan is extremely dissatisfied with the title of the third assistant of the cabinet, not to mention that Liu Yu is one step ahead of him, even if he really squeezes out Liu Yu and becomes the second assistant, the mountain of Li Dongyang is out of reach!

Because of this, Cao Yuan now attaches great importance to the benefits of being a cabinet elder. That is, below the noble ministers, almost everyone has to avoid saluting when they see themselves. At this moment, seeing that Qian Ning was about to pass by him as if no one was around, Cao Yuan, who had been holding back the fire in the cabinet today, suddenly couldn't help it, and immediately shouted: "Qian Ning, where are you going?" The emperor is recuperating now, don't you know the rules, and you, a minister, can trespass in this palace city? ”

Qian Ning has always looked down on Cao Yuan, a straw bag who can only be a fox and a fake tiger, so he heard this question at this moment. He was immediately annoyed. When he was about to get angry, thinking of his urgent business now, he said with a smile: "Cao Ge's words are strange, I was ordered to supervise the inner factory to temporarily take care of the east factory, if there is an important matter to report to Gonggong Liu, now that Gonggong Liu is not here, naturally I can only report to the emperor." Of course, I know that you are not allowed to enter and exit casually in the palace ban, and the two people around me were sent by the celebrant Xiao Gonggong. ”

Cao Yuanben was about to let out a vicious breath that was despised. Unexpectedly, Qian Ning was so eloquent that his face was extremely ugly for a while. However, the next moment, Qian Ning actually looked at him again and said with a smile: "Of course, what I played today is extremely important, if Elder Cao Ge happens to be free, then how about going to Qianqing Palace with me to ask for a meeting?" ”

I was just beaten up by Li Dongyang. Now although Qian Ning was not very respectful at first, he gave himself a face at this time, and Cao Yuan gradually calmed down, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”

pulled such a guy, and when Qian Ning went to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a meeting for a hundred thousand urgent reasons, a eunuch came out quickly. Since the death of Jia Shichun, the steward of Kunning Palace, the people around Empress Dowager Zhang have all been much more honest, not to mention the Eight Tigers, and to other people in the outside world. At this moment, after Ding Banshan, the steward of Renshou Palace, came out, he nodded politely to Cao Yuan and Qian Ning.

"What the hell is going on? The Queen Mother is visiting the emperor! Ding Banshan sighed as he spoke, "It's easy to say that the emperor has returned to live in the Qianqing Palace, although the emperor's illness has made the emperor uneasy inside and outside, it is not without benefits...... Now the emperor is talking to the queen mother about the past, and he wants the queen mother to rest directly in Xinuan Pavilion, if it is not a real big event, then don't bother. ”

"It's really a big deal that can't be delayed." Seeing that Ding Banshan was still a little hesitant, followed by several other chamberlains, and Cao Yuan beside him also showed an inquiring gaze, Qian Ning took a deep breath and said in a non-serious voice, "Pingbei Hou and Liu Gonggong and others encountered water bandits on Poyang Lake, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Ding Banshan was immediately stunned, but Cao Yuan only felt that his scalp was numb, and for a moment he exclaimed: "How is it possible!" The emperor brought 500 guards with him, not to mention that he also added guards when he passed through Nanjing, how could something happen? It must have been a false rumor that the news was misplaced......"

When he said this in one breath, he saw that everyone else was looking at him, and at that moment he suddenly understood that he was trying his best to prove that Liu Jin's party would not have an accident, but by mistake spread the news that had not yet been confirmed, and his face was suddenly like ashes. And Ding Banshan glared at the cabinet assistant in annoyance, took a deep breath and left the three of them and turned back into the Qianqing Palace, and after a while, he came out and said, "Lord Qian, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have summoned you in." Elder Cao Ge, please go back. ”

Although he ate the closed door, Cao Yuan didn't care about that much, and hurriedly turned back to Wenyuan Pavilion. When passing by Shoufu's straight room, he saw that Li Dongyang was writing at the desk, he didn't be alarmed, and rushed straight to Liu Yu, and drove out the Zhongshu people who were doing things there in a few words, and then rushed to Liu Yu's side.

"What's so hot and ghostly?"

"Gonggong Liu and Xu Xun have an accident on Poyang Lake!"

"What!" Liu Yu was still holding the shelf just now, but as soon as he heard this, he suddenly behaved more out of shape than Cao Yuan, and the pen in his hand dipped in thick ink suddenly fell on the paper at the bottom of his head, and the splashed ink even stained his snow-white inner sleeve. However, he didn't care about these at all, Huo Ran got up and grabbed Cao Yuan's sleeve, and even his voice trembled.

"Where did the news come from? Is it reliable? ”

"It's the urgent report that Qian Ning's kid just got, he is in charge of the inner factory and the east factory, do you think his news is reliable or not?" Cao Yuan gritted his teeth and burst out such a sentence, seeing Liu Yu sit down with a disillusioned face, he didn't have the time to taunt the other party, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's not that it's not without an idea to say it, I have already thought of one just now." ”

"Go find Zhang Xilu!" Seeing that Liu Yu suddenly raised his head to look at him, Cao Yuan said word by word, "I don't care about him having the upper hand at this time." If Gonggong Liu has something to do with Xu Xun, even if the people in the Xu Party are caught off guard, Li Dongyang and those people will definitely fight back wildly, and when the time comes, he will bear the brunt of this renegade! Let's listen to him at this moment, and we'll talk about it after this difficulty! ”

If this were someone else, Liu Yu would be fine, but he was really a little wary of Zhang Cai. Jiao Fang Zhishi vacated his seat, and he and Cao Yuan were able to enter the cabinet, which was naturally a good thing, but Jiao Fang was obviously squeezed down by Zhang Cai! And when he went to the Ministry of Officials to serve as a secretary before, he was only a seal, and the power of selection was in Zhang Cai's hands. It is conceivable that if he listens to Zhang Cai again this time, when the dust settles, he may not even have a place to live!

So, he almost didn't think about it and refused: "Listen to Zhang Xilu? Except for Gonggong Liu who dares to listen to him, if other people listen to him, they don't know if they are sold by him! Lao Cao, Jiao Fang wanted to try his best to persuade him to recruit him in front of Gonggong Liu, but what was the result? I've seen it, and I don't dare to beg him! And ......"

Liu Yu's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Let's go back and add it up, so that Zhang Xilu can know a moment later, let him know a moment later!" If you come to my house at night, I don't believe we can't negotiate a charter! ”

However, before the night arrived, Qian Ning hurried to the cabinet and said that he was ordered by the Empress Dowager to see Liu Yu and Cao Yuan. As soon as he saw them, he arched his hand and said that there was a secret matter to discuss, and sent a few retinues to guard outside, and ordered that even Li Dongyang was not allowed to let in, and he showed the two of them the will of the empress dowager and the empress dowager in his hand, and then said with a solemn face: "Liu Ge Lao, Cao Ge Lao, Pingbei Hou and Liu Gonggong and his party were in distress at Poyang Lake and lost contact, and now the matter is very important, I will go to the left and right official offices to recruit 10,000 soldiers and horses to settle in the capital according to the will of the Queen Mother." I also asked the two elders and Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials to accompany me. ”

Hearing Qian Ning's words, Liu Yu and Cao Yuan were surprised at first, but they all suddenly realized. Liu Yu even said tentatively: "Lord Qian, the left and right official halls have always been the descendants of the Marquis of Pingbei......"

"That's why I'm going to invite the two elders and Zhang Shangshu to accompany me this time." Qian Ning smiled slightly, and then a grim look appeared on his face, "Elder Liu Ge, Elder Cao Ge, although Gonggong Liu and Pingbeihou may encounter accidents, we can't be fish on the chopping board, right?" But so that we show the corresponding strength, even if others attack it en masse, we also have the strength to fight back, right? Besides, I'm also the person Pingbei Hou once trusted."

Seeing that Liu Yu and Cao Yuan finally nodded deeply after the initial struggle, Qian Ning breathed a sigh of relief. If it were possible, of course he would prefer to pull Lin Jun and Zhang Fuhua, but those two people are well-known clear streams, and they are cautious and difficult to deal with, unlike Liu Yu and Cao Yuan, who are too utilitarian and will be fooled as soon as they are deceived. With these two people, it would be much easier for him to convince Zhang Cai. In the huge capital, the more people who are pulled into the water, the longer this can be delayed, and the greater the possibility of success!

However, before he could leave Wenyuan Pavilion, a message suddenly came from outside. Zhang Cai, the secretary of the ministry, finally fainted in the hall, and the doctor said that it was very likely to be a stroke, and the person had been sent back to the house urgently!
