Zeng Jian's low profile is mainly because he doesn't have that mind and energy.

It was not for nothing that he was in full control of the Ministry of Works, but it did not help him in the slightest about what he wanted to plan, but instead set up a lot of enemies for him. It was very difficult for the Ministry of Industry to enter the cabinet, and no one regarded him as a political opponent at that time, but the oil and water of the Ministry of Industry were related to many people, so when Zeng Jian completely mastered the Ministry of Industry, it was actually difficult.

If it's not good, why bother doing it? What's more, after Xie Hong was born, Zeng Jian put all his thoughts on how to assist Xie Hong, and he was planning and thinking all the time, and even used his family funds.

Out of Liu's mansion, he went in the direction of Nanzhen Fusi, which was not far from his house, but no one doubted it, if someone really dared to follow behind, naturally someone would solve it, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

But when he entered the yamen, Zeng Jian's expression was a little solemn, and there was a layer of melancholy between his eyebrows.

"Uncle, this is ...... you"

As soon as he received the report, Xie Hong came out. Although Dong Ping and his party first arrived, he had a lot of affairs on his hands, but out of respect for the old man, he still put down other things and went out to greet Dong Ping. At this time, seeing the old man's frowns, he was slightly startled and hurriedly asked.

"Alas!" Zeng Jian sighed heavily, and said in a very low mood: "Virtuous nephew, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to help you in the future." ”

"Huh? Why did my uncle say this? Xie Hong was stunned.

"Actually......" Zeng Jian just doesn't grab power, not that he doesn't understand power and strategy, Li Dongyang's official position is higher than him, and he is also known for his good strategy, but it is mostly the creation of his background and circumstances, and he is not necessarily much higher than Zeng Jian when it comes to strategy. Li Dongyang became suspicious, and began to guard himself, how could the old man not know ignorantly?

As soon as Li Dongyang's words came out, Zeng Jian noticed it, he explained to Xie Hong, and sighed again: "Li Xiya is extraordinary, the old man Taoguang is obscure, but he still sees it carefully, the old man is okay here, but in the future, the virtuous nephew is afraid that it will be ......."

Xie Hong has always been able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and it has a lot to do with Zeng Jian's internal response, he can quickly gain a foothold in the capital where enemies are on all sides, which is also one of the reasons. Now that Li Dongyang has taken precautions, it will naturally not be so convenient in the future, and Zeng Jian's worries at this moment are also due to this.

"How can this be?" Dong Ping was also very anxious, after he entered the city, he walked on Xuanwu Street, knowing that Xie Hong had moved a big battle to welcome him, and at this time, seeing the solemnity of Zeng Jian's words, he was naturally worried.

"Uncle, are you really okay? Not to comfort the little nephew? Xie Hong was also anxious, but the content of the urgency was different from Zeng and Dong. He has watched a lot of spy movies in his later life, and he knows too well what will happen when the undercover agent is discovered, but Zeng Jian said that he was fine, of course he didn't believe it.

"That's true......" Seeing Xie Hong's sincerity, Zeng Jian was also moved.

Xie Hong didn't understand the doorway of officialdom, the old man originally knew, but Xie Hong's series of amazing performances often made him forget this. Just now, he didn't talk about himself, only Xie Hong, although it was because he was more concerned about the other party, but it was also because he regarded Xie Hong as a veteran of officialdom.

In addition to being moved, Zeng Jian popularized some of the knowledge of officialdom to Xie Hong, well, what officialdom needs to know in the Ming Dynasty.

It is similar in any era, there will be no harmony in the officialdom, and there will be all kinds of contradictions and struggles among officials. However, there are also unspoken rules in the court dispute, and it is very important to punish the doctor. Although Wenchen has not given the emperor an unspoken rule like the predecessors of the Song Dynasty, they abide by this rule with each other.

Moreover, after the Chenghua year, the work of the ministers was also fruitful, and the emperor was slowly submerged, uh, to agree with this unspoken rule, and this rule became more and more authoritative.

Of course, no one will know that this rule was also broken later, and it was later Wei Zhongxian, the last emperor Chongzhen, and Jiajing...... Well, the first to open the record is, of course, Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.

Wen Chen only knew that the first person to break the rules now was Xie Hong, even though he was holding the holy decree in his hand at the time...... But the devil will believe that he is ordered to beat people! No matter how boring the emperor is, he won't shout something so that his mother can't recognize such nonsense, right?

"Virtuous nephew, you really have a bit of Meng Lang ...... when you beat that Sun Song" This topic was mentioned by Zeng Jian, and he persuaded again. Shi Wenyi is a military attaché, and if he fights, he will fight, but Sun Song was born on the right path of the imperial examination, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future.

"The little nephew is also impulsive, and he has to do it." Xie Hong said with a smile. Before going out, Zeng Jian had instructed him not to mess around, but Xie Hong wanted to be powerful, where could he manage so much?

Ruthless and crazy enough to establish authority, it is necessary to beat civil officials to scare people, Xie Hong thought hatefully: If it weren't for Liu Daxia's official being too big, he would have to find out and beat him, but it doesn't matter, you can remember it first, and talk about it later.

Zeng Jian saw that his mouth was wrong, and he also shook his head with a wry smile, he felt that this was Xie Hong's youth and vigor, and he no longer persuaded him, and comforted himself in his heart: No matter what, Xie Xian's nephew finally didn't take Liu Dongshan out and beat him, and the matter was not out of control, but there were more hands on the end.

Of course, Wenchen, who was born as a scholar, would not be as unruly as Xie Hong, but the battles between them completely followed this principle. As long as it is hatred in the officialdom, it can only be pointed, and dismissal from office is the bottom line, unless it is a personal vendetta, it is another matter.

Therefore, Li Dongyang can't deal with Zeng Jian, because Zeng Jian is only half a step away from Zhishi, if he is forced to do so, he will seem to have no bearing. Zeng Jian also knew this, and at this time he also told Xie Hong as it was.

"I see." Xie Hong suddenly realized, the unspoken rules are really everywhere! I said, before Sun Song was beaten, why did he shout so loudly? Alas, it's a pity that my brother doesn't understand this, and he won't follow it if he knows, my brother is a craftsman, not a scholar, why do you abide by the rules of a scholar?

"Then it's okay." Xie Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, your guidance is the greatest help, not to mention the many manpower provided?" As for the movement of the DPRK, as long as they are not desperate, it doesn't matter what else they do, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. ”

Xie Hong was most worried about Wenchen's efforts to figure out the actions of the monarch, no matter how brave the border army was, there were only 1,000 people after all, and they couldn't enter the palace, even if they could, they couldn't defend the two places. If Wen Chen really mobilized the Jingying and even the Imperial Horse Guard, then he couldn't resist it no matter what, this is hardware strength, and it is not something that he can solve with a few ideas.

If Zeng Jian hadn't analyzed the pros and cons for him, Xie Hongzhen wouldn't dare to let go. What's more, through Zeng Jian, he also understood the rules of the courtiers, and analyzed the important people among them, which was the greatest help. Undercover or something, it was originally Xie Hong talking nonsense and jokingly.

"From the old man's point of view, Liu Dongshan should indeed have made a discovery, and Li Xiya should also turn back, under the discussion of a few people, there will be no charter, you must be on guard." Zeng Jian saw that he didn't care, and warned again.

Several ministers are not easy to get along with, and the old man is afraid that Xie Hong will underestimate the enemy and bury the situation that has just improved.

"Uncle, don't worry." Xie Hong smiled and explained solemnly: "There are only so many methods that courtiers will use, but since they have seen the madness of their little nephew, they will naturally be much more cautious before making another move. Naturally, people with high status will not make a move casually, and even if they do, they must just be planning behind the scenes. ”

He stretched out three fingers and said, "Since I don't know the other, then the little nephew will start with himself." On the nephew's side, there are only three targets for others to start: one is the yamen of the nephew, one is the palace, and the other is Qianmen Street. ”

"Is this yamen...... Xie Hong flexed a finger and said proudly: "Needless to say, uncle also knows that no one should dare to approach, people are afraid of death." ”

Zeng Jian nodded, but Dong Ping was a little surprised, when he came, he looked around, saw the scene of the extinction of the pedestrians, and thought that this was a remote area, but when he heard Xie Hong say this, it turned out to be artificially made, and he just admired in his heart: Brother Xie is really amazing!

"It's easy to talk in the palace......" Xie Hong flexed his second finger again and said with a smile: "Second ...... The emperor just needs to hold on to it. Because of this month, the little nephew had too many things to do and couldn't enter the palace, so he thought of a way to let the emperor hide in the Qianqing Palace. But now, the construction project has come to an end, and Brother Dong has arrived, and ......"

He smiled and said, "Presumably, the emperor is almost tired of playing with the old ones, and he is going to change to the new ones, and the little nephew is about to go to the palace, and it's time for him to make a move." ”

Zeng and Dong looked at each other, and Xie Hong couldn't let the emperor hide from the situation that he was making suggestions next to him, so as not to be caught by someone and have any accidents. But this new, the old...... It can't be like that, right? A Tang poem passed through the hearts of the two at the same time: But when I saw the newcomer laughing, I heard the old man crying...... But Xie Hong is not such a kind person.

"But the front door does have the potential to be targeted." Xie Hong was groaning and calculating, and the remaining finger did not fall for a long time, let alone ignore the expressions of others.

Qianmen Street is where the store he wants to open is located. It was originally a shop in Huangzhuang, selling some clothes and hats, although it was located in a prosperous area, it didn't make much money, so as soon as Xie Hong proposed to find a storefront, Gu Dayong immediately mentioned this place.

The fat man is in charge of money, so he naturally has a lot of dissatisfaction with this store, obviously in the front door of the place where every inch of land is expensive, but he can't make money, what do you want it to do? What's more, it was Xie Hong who came up with the idea, and the person who asked him was Zhengde, and the fat man didn't stumble at all, so he chose here.

"It's just a minor hassle." Xie Hong clenched his fists violently and said, "Let's solve it together!" Uncle, Brother Dong, I will enter the palace to face the saint, and when I come back, the matter will be resolved. After speaking, without waiting for Dong and Zeng to answer, he walked out.

When "Brother Xie ......" went out, someone happened to come in, and the two almost bumped into each other, Xie Hong raised his eyes to see, but it was Ma Wentao with an anxious and panting face.

"Brother Ma, what's wrong?"

Ma Wentao gasped twice, and then spoke:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"
