"I'm afraid it's really hard to avoid......" Zeng Jian nodded solemnly, he was keenly aware of the coming crisis.

The old man had long known what Xie Hong's actions meant, and he also knew that the scholars would not sit idly by and would definitely make a move, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and it was starting with such a reason and situation.

Jiangnan scholars accounted for a huge proportion of the court, and with their strong support, Liu Daxia and others naturally had a much better momentum than before. Besides, Liu Jian already had some intentions, he was the first assistant of the court, Xie Qian's secret actions could hide from Xie Hong, but he couldn't hide from him, since he didn't say it, it meant his acquiescence, and what he was waiting for was just an opportunity.

"Timing? When did my uncle think it would be? Yan Song has investigated a lot and analyzed it very incisively, but his status is there, and it is impossible to know this kind of core secret. And although Xie Hong is decisive, he can also conclude that the other party will make a big move, but he still has no clue about the timing of the launch.

"It's hard to say how it will be in the end, but there will still be some signs," Zeng Jian said in a deep voice: "First, Xie Yuqiao has officially made a comeback......

To be able to be a cabinet minister, the city government is naturally not ordinary, and it is of course difficult to see through the minds of these people, but Liu Jian's style of acting has always been very distinctive, and if you infer from this aspect, it is not difficult to draw conclusions.

Under the secret presiding of Xie Qian and the promotion of Jiangnan scholars, the tide of speech in Beijing rose up, although Zhengde can withstand the pressure and ignore it, but as long as the scale and momentum of the tide of speech reaches a certain level, it can represent the public discussion of the court, and even represent the hearts of the people in the world, even if the emperor does not ask, the cabinet ministers can interfere.

At that time, it was no longer enough for Xie Qian to preside over in secret, he had to stand up and talk to Zhengde on behalf of the court and the central government, asking the emperor to examine himself and depose his close ministers. If Zhengde still refuses to comply, that is when Liu Jian makes a move, no matter whether what he wants to do is reasonable or not, the procedure must be reasonable, this is the style of scholars.

This is also because there are too many people involved, and if there is no convincing leader and a pivotal backbone, there is no way to gather this scattered sand.

Although Li Dongyang's prestige and qualifications are above Xie Qian, and he has tried to integrate the courtiers against Xie Hong many times, before the Jiangnan scholars surfaced, his efforts had no effect at all, because he did not have such a force under him.

Although the Jiangnan scholars have enough strength to promote the situation, the situation of Jiangnan being the dominant family in the court is not what the ministers in the court are willing to see. Therefore, in the end, Liu Jian took the lead and met the needs of all parties, which is a situation that everyone is happy to see and happy.

"I see." Xie Hong suddenly realized.

"In addition," Zeng Jian continued, "the foreign dynasty should not use the most drastic means as soon as it comes up, after all, the impact of that kind of big thing is too great, and the slightest lack of will shake the society of the country." According to the old man's estimation, the main target of the foreign dynasty is still the virtuous nephew, as for the emperor's side, ......"

"Big wedding!" Xie Hong's mind flashed, and he lost his voice: "Yes, it's a big wedding, uncle, we all thought about it before, it turns out that the actual purpose of the foreign dynasty to promote the emperor's wedding is this, they want to take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor to return to the Qianqing Palace, maybe on the night of the wedding!" ”

During this time, Xie Hong has been thinking about what kind of means the courtiers will use, and Xie Hong also recognized Zeng Jian's opinion at that time, and took some actions against the surname.

But he has always been faintly uneasy in his heart, always feeling that the ministers will not be so naïve, pinning their hopes on a matter that takes a long time and is not very certain. Therefore, he also took a positive approach and gathered the strength at hand.

After waiting for Yan Song's whistleblowing, Xie Hong's uneasiness in his heart was even more intense, if he thought about it from another position, under such a gap in strength, Xie Hong himself would definitely choose to solve it by force, the difficulty was just the attitude of Zhengde.

If a joint resolution is formed in the court, although it cannot be the will of righteousness, it also has the name of righteousness, and it is not impossible to directly attack the Ordnance Division. But Zhengde has now moved to Xiyuan, and has actually escaped the control of the courtiers, and can leave the palace at any time, which is the most troublesome for them.

Therefore, a big wedding is the best choice.

First of all, this matter is presided over by the Queen Mother, Zhengde can't resolutely refuse, and even release a smoke screen to confuse himself, Xie Hong sneered in his heart, wasn't he confused? If it weren't for the prudence, maybe he would really focus all his attention on solving Zhengde's personal problems.

Secondly, as a national ceremony, no matter how much Zhengde messes around, it is impossible to mess around on it. The key is that at least that night, he must spend the night in Kunning Palace, that is, the queen's bedroom, after all, the Forbidden City is the emperor's residence recognized by the world, and the West Garden is just a back garden.

And it's not just the first day, although there is no honeymoon in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhengde can't just marry the queen and separate the next day, right? Even if he wanted to, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother would not allow it, these two women with the highest status in the world did not care much about political affairs, but they were very concerned about Zhengde's personal problems.

Therefore, after Zhengde's wedding, at least for a while, he will be isolated from Xie Hong.

Xie Hong can enter the palace to face the saint. But now it is different from the past, the foreign dynasty has set off such a big momentum, and the imperial horse supervisor is completely controlled by Wang Yue, who is pro-foreign dynasty, and his entry into the palace is just a way to die, and the courtiers will be happy to cut it first and then play, and then spread the name to the world.

Of course, he can not enter the palace, but for the foreign court, it is nothing, but it just takes a lot of effort, after all, the Ordnance Division only has a thousand sons, and the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp are 100,000! As long as there are no scruples, how can the elite Beijing Battalion not be able to take a small ordnance division?

When the outside moves, even if Zhengde gets the news, it's useless, first there is the insurance of the queen mother of the two palaces, in addition, the imperial horse supervisor who has no scruples can also block Zhengde in the palace, even if the generals of the imperial horse supervisor don't have the courage, the outer court is bold, and there are many people who are not afraid of the emperor, as long as they send a few imperial historians to guard the palace gate.

As long as the dust settles outside and Xie Hong gives the head, even if Zhengde is angry, in the face of a united foreign dynasty, what can the emperor do without minions? No matter how great the emperor is, someone has to carry out his orders.

As for the emperor's possible grudges, everyone doesn't pay much attention to them, unless the emperor has no heirs, otherwise, Xie Hong and Zeng Jian's initial guess will turn from false to true, hehe, assisting the young master is more worry-free than assisting an emperor who can pro-government, the latter often makes a little awkward, the former is just a disguise.

The new information coupled with Zeng Jian's original analysis flashed in Xie Hong's mind, and these questions that had been bothering him had answers in an instant, and these answers made him quite frightened.

"Is that so?" Zeng Jian was also taken aback, lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head again, his face was already pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "The old man is still old, and he almost missed a big thing, if it weren't for the clever nephew, the emperor's big wedding would be when the Ordnance Division turned into powder......"

"Uncle, don't blame yourself, who could have thought that the foreign court's thinking was so far-reaching in advance? And after a seemingly simple wedding, there are so many calculations hidden, not to mention that Xie Qian and Jiang Nanshiren, hey, this is also the little nephew's negligence, and I thought that the old man was really frightened and frightened, but I didn't expect him to be grinding his minions at home and waiting for the opportunity! ”

Xie Hong said hatefully. He didn't mean to complain about Zeng Jian, the old man's steadiness was originally what he needed most, if there was no variable of Xie Qian, things would have developed as Zeng Jian expected, but who could calculate such a variable in advance?

What's more, he knew that he was also underestimating the enemy this time, underestimating the panic caused by the school among the scholars, and completely ignoring the greed of the Jiangnan people.

If it weren't for Yan Song, even if he already had a lot of arrangements, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape, after all, strength is fundamental, in the face of the overwhelming strength gap, the slightest negligence is not allowed, let alone a big mistake of underestimating the enemy?

"Fortunately, there are some arrangements in advance, and a lot of equipment has come out in a hurry these days, just ...... together" Xie Hong muttered while thinking about the arrangements that had been made.

"Brother Xie!"

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a shout outside, Xie Hong heard Jiang Bin's voice, raised his eyes, but saw Scarface walking in with a solemn face, no need to ask, Xie Hong also knew that something tricky had happened.

Ever since he met Jiang Bin in Xuanfu, he has only seen two expressions on this person's face: one is a fierce and hideous look, when he kills Tartar, when he kills Shen Fei, when he fights and rides, and when he fights; The other is the usual look of giggling and nonchalant care, such a dignified look is extremely rare.

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

"Monkey they reported, martial law began in Beijing, and checkpoints were set up at several major intersections, saying that it was for the emperor's wedding, checking suspicious outsiders, but the location of those checkpoints ...... It just happened to surround us, and from a certain point of view, it should be coming for us! Jiang Bin replied in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he also took out a map, spread it out on the table, pointed and said, "Brother Xie, come and see, here, here...... Especially the guard at the checkpoint near Xuanwu Street is particularly strict, from a certain point of view, if we want to enter the palace, we either have to break the card or ...... Hehe, I'm afraid I'll have to go out of the city through the front door and go around outside. ”

"Sure enough, the person who came was not good, and there was such a big move, could it be ......" Xie Hong looked at the map and smiled colder and colder.

"Besides, Brother Xie, the monkey personally went to investigate the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, guess what?" Scarface sneered, and said: "Although there are still people inside, but the monkeys can see clearly, those are just the old and weak in the Beijing camp, and they are all filled in it, and the elites are all secretly transferred out, damn, eighty percent are planning to ambush us!" ”

"Brother Jiang, are you scared?" Staring at the map for a while, Xie Hong suddenly smiled and asked an inexplicable question.

"Afraid? Haha, I've never been afraid of growing so big, but my head has fallen off but there is a big scar in the bowl, so what's there to be afraid of? Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Hehe, that's four thousand against one hundred thousand! And our follow-up equipment can't be sent to the palace, but fortunately, there are a lot of reserves in the Ordnance Department in advance......" Xie Hong sneered, and suddenly changed his words and said: "Brother Jiang, do you remember all the words I told you before?" ”

"Remember, but ......" Jiang Bin hesitated a little, Xie Hong's contingency plan was too risky, and he was really a little uneasy.

"Just follow that plan, Brother Jiang, let Brother Hou and them prepare and send me into the palace at night!" I'll leave it to you. Xie Hong waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Bin's words, there is such a huge difference in strength, how can you do it without taking risks?

What's more, if everything goes well, there may not be so much risk. No matter how big the gap in numbers is, the result will only be known after all.
