PS: Sorry for the late update. I was busy until late, and I haven't eaten yet! Thank you for your understanding.

The golden crow slowly descended, and the jade rabbit gradually rose. The sky was getting dark, and the lamps were lit early in Liu Hong's bedroom.

Liu Hong sat on the main seat, looking at the two pieces of paper in his hand, his face gloomy and uncertain.

On one of these two pieces of paper is the report of Jin Yiwei on the joint performance of the Eight Prefectures Assassin History, and the other is the dialogue between the Dong family and Dong Pet in the Yongle Palace.

After a long while, Liu Hong sighed and slowly put down the two pieces of paper.

At this time, Liu Hong was already sure that he was not poisoned by the Dong family, but he was also sure that the Dong family was being used.

Although he came to the conclusion that Dong did not want to harm himself, Liu Hong was still dissatisfied with Dong, if it were not for Dong's desire for power, how could it be used by others?

In the final analysis, it is still that the Dong family does not trust Liu Hong enough, but once the rift occurs, it is difficult to be intact.

As for Zhu Ao, he would rather die than report the matter, there are no other factors, it's just that Zhu Ao doesn't want Liu Hong to be a mother and son, it can be said that Zhu Ao's starting point is good, but he underestimated the complexity of this matter.

It stands to reason that every move in the palace should be under Liu Hong's gaze, but Liu Hong feels that there should be survival rules in the palace in the palace, so he doesn't plan to intervene too much, which is why Liu Hong sent Li Ping to protect Song Ling'er, instead of ordering the secret force to protect it.

However, this incident sounded the alarm for Liu Hong, it turned out that ** and the court are inseparable, and it is very likely that he will know the movements of the DPRK and China by controlling **'s every move, although before the crossing, Liu Hong had also seen such things on TV.

But if it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid Liu Hong would still not have an intuitive feeling, and he can only say that Liu Hong still has a way to go from being a qualified emperor.

Fortunately, this incident did not bring too much loss to Liu Hong, otherwise Liu Hong would have regretted it, and it can be said that it is not too late to make amends.

"Li Hao." Liu Hong rubbed his head and said lightly, "I occasionally feel the wind and cold, and it is not early to say that it is not early, and the affairs of the DPRK and China will be transferred by the cabinet." ”

"No"

Li Hao saluted respectfully, and went down to convey Liu Hong's will.

"I don't know, if my move of retreating can lead to the mastermind behind the scenes!" Liu Hong looked at the empty hall and muttered.

At the same time, Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, was sitting alone in the study of the palace.

Outside the study, Li Xian's wife was anxious, "The master has locked himself in the study since the early dynasty, and he hasn't entered a drop of water, how can this be good?" ”

A person dressed as a housekeeper said anxiously, "Madam, you don't know the seriousness of the situation here, the Eight Prefecture Assassins have written to impeach, Liu Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the six subordinate officials of the Trinity have also written to impeach. ”

"It can be said that the master has been shouted and beaten by everyone. If it weren't for His Majesty's unstated position, or if His Majesty hadn't been secretly protecting, I'm afraid the lord would have been removed from the position of head of the cabinet. ”

Li Xian's wife was shocked when she heard this, if no one knew what the specific official position of this cabinet chief assistant was, then now the people of the Han Dynasty know that this cabinet chief assistant is equivalent to the prime minister of the DPRK and China.

Now that his master is about to be removed from the post of prime minister, how can Li Xian's wife not be surprised?

Immediately, Mrs. Li paced more anxiously outside the study, and the people waiting lowered their heads one after another, for fear of annoying their own wife at this time.

Waiting so anxiously is half an hour.

Suddenly, a voice came from the study, "Prepare the wine and food, the old man wants to have a drink." ”

Mrs. Li was overjoyed when she heard this, she has followed her master for decades, and she knows Li Xian's surname habits very well.

Listening to the words just now, I seemed to be in a good mood, although for some reason I was in such a good mood when I was impeached, but this did not prevent Mrs. Li from being happy.

has followed Li Xian for so many years, and has enjoyed blessings and hardships. Therefore, Mrs. Li didn't care about Li Xian's position as the first assistant to the cabinet, and her previous anxiety was just that she was worried that her master would not be able to realize her ambitions.

After the next person prepared the wine and food, Li Xian drank and burned himself, and Mrs. Li quietly added wine and vegetables on the side.

At this time, Li Xian suddenly said: "I have suffered you all these years." ”

Mrs. Li's eyes turned red when she heard this, and then she said softly, "To be able to marry a well-educated person like the master, a concubine is enough for a lifetime!" ”

"Huh!" Li Xian chuckled, drank the wine in the cup and said, "Now the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all looking at the jokes of a certain person, even if they have always had an old Yuan Rite with a certain person, Zhou Fu is also standing by because he has been restored to the position of the leader of the party. ”

"But they have all forgotten one thing, that is, Your Majesty's thoughts, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, Your Majesty can make the Resurrection Party the first faction in the court today, and you can also let the Resurrection Party dissipate overnight."

"Your Majesty has not paid attention to Yuan Li, and the fight between Zhou Fu and Zhou Fu is just because a certain Li Xian is still there, and one or two can be balanced, if a certain person is dismissed from the post of head assistant of the cabinet, either the revival of the party will no longer exist, or these two will return to their hometowns."

Speaking of this, Li Xian smiled disdainfully, "It's ridiculous that these two people are in the game and don't know it, what a stupid person!" ”

Mrs. Li looked at Li Xian in surprise, you must know that Li Xian never talked about the affairs of the court and the middle of the court in front of her, just because she thought that women and Taoists only need to teach their husbands and children.

Li Xian glanced at Mrs. Li, saw the surprise in her eyes, and chuckled, "Madame, don't be surprised, being a husband is just thinking hard, thinking about the key points here, and I am overjoyed, and I want to share it with others." ”

Mrs. Li nodded silently when she heard this, and then filled Li Xian's wine glass with wine.

In an alley not far from Li's Mansion, two men in black robes were talking about something.

"I have already completed the preparation of You, I don't know when you will give up your position in Jingzhou?"

The other chuckled and said, "Are you in a hurry?" But this is not the time, Liu Hongxiaoer must be ready at this time, as long as I wait to jump out, I dare to assert that it will definitely catch me and so on. You must know that although the official position is good, you must also have a life to do! ”

The person who spoke first was silent for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?" ”

"Just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." The man said lightly.

Although under the cover of the black robe, I don't know what this person's face is, but from the conversation just now, it is not difficult to know that he is a person of deep planning. And he must be friends and foes with Liu Hong.

On January 20 of the second year of Xiping, with Liu Hong's transfer of Jinyi Wei into the palace, the Tiger Ben army entered Luoyang, which made the undercurrent in the calm Luoyang city surge, and people with strange thoughts all thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
