"Let's get down to business." Xie Hong waved his hand weakly and stopped the topic just now, obviously the talent he relied on as Gancheng was also out of tune, and the symptoms of being out of tune were not the same as Zhengde.

"Huh? Brother Xian, what I just said is also a serious matter, Renren Dao, how can it be said that it is not a serious matter? Tang Bohu hadn't finished sighing yet, and was very dissatisfied with Xie Hong's sudden stop.

"Ahem......"

According to Xie Hong's instructions, someone finally went to invite Zeng Jian, so the old man came relatively late, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Tang Bohu's high talk, and the old man couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only cough twice as a reminder.

For Tang Bohu, a junior, he still admires it very much. Xie Hong entrusted Tang Bohu with a heavy responsibility at the beginning, although it was not big, but there were also some doubts in the Ordnance Department, after all, he was a person who did not know the details, but Zeng Jian was unusual, and firmly supported Xie Hong's appointment.

Of course, Tang Bohu's unruly debauchery also made the old man feel a headache, but this is all a small section, anyway, there are many people here who are not in tune, and there are not many of him.

"Uncle Zeng......" Xie Hong hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Lord Zeng!" Tang Bohu and Chunli didn't dare to slack off. Needless to say, although the intelligence system in her hands is becoming more and more important, she still maintains her initial humble mentality.

Moreover, she is also very clear about Zeng Jian's status in the Ordnance Division, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is second only to Xie Hong, even surpassing the emperor. Although Zhengde's status is high, he is not very in charge of things after all, and his identity plays a role.

Although Tang Bohu is a wild man, and his talent is also faintly above Zeng Jian, but after a few setbacks, he will not be as empty as an ordinary madman, he knows how important the old man's experience and strategy are.

If it weren't for Zeng Jian's detailed explanation, Tang Bohu would probably still be kept in the dark. The deception in the officialdom is very complicated, and no matter how smart a person is, he will not be able to make an accurate judgment on the court without the experience he has honed in the court and the corresponding understanding.

Now Xie Hong relies on himself a lot, and Tang Bohu also has the heart to go further, so while being the master of the third father-in-law, he also faintly considers himself a disciple of Zeng Jian, and what he learns is of course the old man's grasp of people's hearts and understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China.

Serving tea and sitting down, Xie Hong groaned slightly, sorted out his words, and was about to speak, but heard Zeng Jian say leisurely: "The virtuous nephew is worried about the emperor's wedding?" ”

"Exactly, what does Uncle Zeng think of the foreign court's move?" was pointed out by Zeng Jian first, Xie Hong was not surprised, in order to quickly promote this matter, the foreign dynasty made a lot of noise, but within half a day, the capital has already heard about it, Zeng Jian is also a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, where would he not know?

"Lichu." Zeng Jian brushed his beard with one hand and directly pointed out the purpose of the ministers.

"Lichu?" This answer was indeed unexpected by Xie Hong, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if it was a plot of this magnitude, then there was really no need to worry.

In history, Zhengde didn't like those three girls, so he didn't leave a blood line in the palace, well, Zhu Houzhao's classmates were the result of free love, and the foreign dynasty did not recognize it, whether it was the same or not.

Now Zhengde's performance is the same, before the first and second concubines enter the palace, he already has the urge to escape from marriage, what will happen to his life after marriage, it is also conceivable, anyway, it will not be too sweet.

Even if he caused the butterfly effect, causing Zhengde to pinch his nose and go off, and then luck was good, and hit the bull's-eye, but it was at least ten months later. By that time, the Guards had already taken shape, and even if he turned his face and made a move, Xie Hong was very confident, how could he be so trembling as he is now.

Tang Bohu and Chunli were also relieved.

Xie Hong now regards Tang Bohu as a confidant, and Chunli is in charge of the midnight system, needless to say, most of the information has been sorted out by her own hands, how can the two not know the situation Xie Hong is facing now? They are not Jiang Bin, they are not so brave and fearless, even if they will not waver in the face of powerful opponents, they are inevitably a little apprehensive in their hearts.

"Two virtuous nephews, do you feel at ease?" Xie Hong and the three of them all had relaxed smiles on their faces, but Zeng Jian still had a solemn face, and after looking around and taking in the reactions of the three of them, the old man asked very abruptly.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tang Bohu was immediately stunned, but Xie Hong was stunned. He has been with Zeng Jian for a long time, and he knows that the old man will not be untargeted, since there is something in the words, there must be something that he has overlooked.

Uncle Mo Fei means...... "big wedding, establishment of the prince, forced the palace, and abolition of the emperor...... After deducing from the beginning, Xie Hong suddenly realized and stood up.

"Yes, as the virtuous nephew thought." Zeng Jian's face was heavy and he bowed slightly.

"Uncle Zeng, Brother Xie Xian, what is the meaning of this move? Bohu is stupid, and I ask you two to solve my doubts. Unlike Xie Hong, who has been planning to fight with the scholars, Tang Bohu has just joined the gang after all, and his understanding of the situation in Beijing is still on the surface, so he is completely puzzled and at a loss for the dialogue between Xie Hong and Zeng Jian.

"This plan is very slow, we can deal with it calmly, but from this plan, we can get a glimpse of the change in the planner's mentality......" Zeng Jian valued Tang Bohu for many reasons, the most important thing is that the other party is not allowed to Shilin, and the mentality is also free and easy, when he is getting older, he also has the heart to teach Tang Bohu and add a powerful arm to Xie Hong.

And himself, after all, is over seventy years old, and he has suffered the pain of losing a child a few years ago, and he has been feeling low on energy from time to time recently. Therefore, Zeng Jian spoke in front of Xie Hong, in order not to miss any opportunity to teach this disciple.

"Before the establishment of the Ivy League, there were always two opinions in the court on how to deal with Xie Xian's nephew and limit the imperial power. The radical faction was headed by Liu Dongshan, and the stable faction was headed by Li Xiya. However, with the gradual development of the layout of the virtuous nephew, now, the situation has changed. ”

Although the effect of the plan of the prince is slow and the threat is very small, the meaning revealed in it is shocking, whether it is to abolish the emperor and establish a young family, or to establish another clan, in fact, it is just a matter of name. Since Li Xiya seconded the proposal at today's court meeting, it means that the radicals have completely gained the upper hand, and now it is only that the internal differences have not been completely resolved, otherwise it will ......"

Zeng Jianwei paused and let Tang Bohu digest the previous content, and then continued: "The differences within them are difficult to resolve, and the consequences of forcing the palace are also very serious. However, Xie Xian's nephew has now aroused their vigilance, making them have such thoughts, if everything is as usual, if there is a slight change, it is ......not impossible to force the palace."

Hearing the word forced palace, Tang Bohu couldn't help but be shocked. This kind of thing is not uncommon in history books, and it has happened more than once since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but he was originally just an ordinary scholar, and suddenly heard that such a thing was right in front of him, how could he not be shocked?

He didn't doubt Zeng Jian's real surname, he didn't know anything else, he could see the influence of the school on Shilin clearly, for the embarrassment of the people in Shilin and the bitter hatred of himself, Tang Bohu only felt very happy at the time, but now in retrospect, such a move was not a contempt and provocation for the entire scholar class.

Just like the leaking case, for the sake of one or two factions, they can make the government and the opposition restless; In order to keep their power and status from being shaken, how much can the scholars do...... Tang Bohu really didn't dare to assert it.

"So what should I do?" Tang Bohu's out-of-tune is free to send and receive, just talking nonsense with Xie Hong because the topic Xie Hong mentioned is very out of tune, of course he also uses nonsense to deal with it, but the current topic is too heavy, so he can't help but be nervous.

It can be seen that Zhengde's heartlessness is indeed the first in the world, and even Tang Bohu, whose reputation is not inferior to him, is beyond his reach in this regard.

"The old man just has to give advice, how to deal with it, Tang Xian's nephew, you are asking the wrong person, you have to ask Xie Xian's nephew." After getting along with Xie Hong for a long time, Zeng Jian also had a sense of humor, and he waved his hand at Tang Bohu's question, but he smiled and did not answer.

Of course, this problem is also beyond his ability, and seeing through it does not mean that it can be solved, otherwise, he saw clearly the chronic illness of the Ming Dynasty when he was young, how could he wait until he was over the age and did not find a solution?

The difficulty of this problem at the moment is not inferior to before, of course the old man has no choice, in his heart, it is very human, and this kind of earth-shattering event can only be dealt with by a person like Xie Hong.

Xie Hong is actually very difficult, the current timing is very delicate, it is the moment when his power has not yet succeeded, and the disparity in strength is the greatest, if he turns his face, he really has no chance of winning; If he doesn't turn his face, the initiative is in the hands of others, and the sharp blade hanging over his head also makes him very uncomfortable.

Time, the key is time.

"Uncle, if this plan of the foreign dynasty goes well, will it be possible to delay it for a while?"

This plan of Lichu is the result of a compromise between the two factions of scholars, and if it can be carried out smoothly, then the voice of the moderate faction will surely increase. Compared with a pure rebellion such as the establishment of a separate clan, it seems that assisting the young lord is a little more tempting, and it is more able to dispel dissent, which should be the most in line with the expected results of the scholars.

"What the virtuous nephew said is very true." Zeng Jian bowed slightly.

The so-called vertical and horizontal cooperation is such a meaning, as long as the other party is not monolithic, you can use interests to try to win over; or divide the enemy, causing the enemy to kill each other; Or use intimidation and other means, in short, it is a process of division and disintegration.

Compared with the messy methods used by Xie Hong in the past, this method is the most familiar to the old man, and it is also the most used by the scholars. Xie Hong has also grown a lot in the past six months, so he quickly thought of this.

"In this case...... Xie Hong's brows twisted up again, I wiped it, isn't this back to square one? Smooth, how is it smooth, of course, the second brother happily engaged in the three flights in the harem, this is the happy ending. But...... Just with those three little girls who have not yet fully developed, they want the second brother to fly around happily? Well, unlikely.

What to do? Xie Hong's head turned white, why is it so difficult to paralyze the enemy? The partner is unreliable, which is obviously a big problem.

"My lord, the brother outside has caught a suspicious person......" Just as he was worried, the monkey suddenly ran in.

"It's business as usual." Xie Hong waved his hand as if he was chasing a fly, and interrupted the monkey's words very impatiently, the most annoying thing about Jianxi and the spy Shenma, especially when his brother was upset.

Xie Hong doesn't remember much about what the practice of Nanzhen Fusi is, but he believes that the spies will definitely be unforgettable, and if they forget, there will be a monkey rooster at any time.

"My lord, the old man said that he came to see the adult, he claimed to be the governor of the Governor's Mansion and the governor of the same ...... Xia Ru" The monkey is a little embarrassed, generally speaking, the spies are young people, and there are few people who are too old, and the eyes are not good when they are old, and their legs and feet are not neat, so it is really not suitable for the secret agent.

"The Governor's Mansion? I'll call him ......" Xie Hong swallowed back halfway through his words, because the name made him very familiar, he turned his head to look at Zeng Jian, and asked, "Uncle Zeng, this is ......?"

"Yes, it's the future ruler." Zeng Jian smiled slightly, very meaningful.
