Chen Jinchang, who was standing beside Wu Tianan, smiled, and said in a very low voice: "Xing'an is different, Xing'an is in charge of the celebrant and supervisor, he is loyal, and the relationship with the ministers is quite good, the important thing is that a few days ago, Xing'an privately complained to the left and right, and felt that today's long-lived lord does not think about the government, and the person who does it is all selfish desires......"

Hearing this, Wu Tianan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his eyes fell on Chen Jinchang's face, although he didn't know where Chen Jinchang got the news, but he knew very well that if Chen Jinchang dared to say it at this moment, it must have really happened.

Empress Dowager Sun sighed lightly: "The old man who was left in the inner palace by the emperor, that Jin Ying has now been dismissed because of his crime. The only people who can win the trust of today's Long Live Lord are Wang Cheng and Xing'an, and that Wang Cheng is desperate to follow the current Long Live to go to the black. Only Hung Yen is dedicated to national affairs......"

Wu Tianan nodded and replied respectfully: "Since it was ordered by the mother, the old slave will definitely bring the words." But mother, you may have forgotten, in fact, we still have someone available. ”

"Oh, who is it?" Empress Dowager Sun thought about it first, and seemed to feel that there was no suitable candidate, so she turned her face a little puzzled and asked curiously.

Wu Tianan bowed down and whispered the name of a eunuch in the ear of the Empress Dowager Sun, and the Empress Dowager Sun's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. "Cao Jixiang?"

Chen Jinchang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he raised his hand to pat his thigh. "That's right, why didn't the old slave think of this person, Niangniang, if this person can help the emperor, then there will be no hindrance in Beijing."

Wu Tianan nodded, and said affirmatively: "Yes, Cao Jixiang used to be the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the past, and now he has ascended the throne, because among them, Wang Zhenyu is the party and the position of the Imperial Horse Eunuch and the Eunuch, and after he ascended the throne today, he promised Zhang Yong, a henchman around Long Live. However, because he is quite talented in governing the army, and he is also in the internal prison, there are few great eunuchs who can go to the battle array. Later, Shi Heng went to Datong Town Army, there was no one in the Beijing camp, and after Xing'an's recommendation, he was re-employed and took charge of the Beijing camp ......"

Cao Jixiang and the old slave quite want to vote, when his official position was dismissed, once to the old slave to spit bitter water, later, although recommended by Xing'an, in charge of the Beijing camp, but, how can there be a royal horse supervisor to eat, moreover, his surname is greedy, in the past in the imperial horse prison, no one can control. Seeing that his fat difference was taken away by that Zhang Yong, it was strange that he didn't hold a grudge. ”

"This is natural, after all, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is second only to the celebrant in the critical place, and now he is just a person in charge of Qiu Ba in the Beijing camp, how can there be more fat water in the Beijing camp." Chen Jinchang nodded frequently, agreeing quite approvingly. Although they are just eunuchs around the Empress Dowager, it doesn't mean that they don't know about the cats in the twelve prisons of the Inner Palace.

"He's a suitable candidate, but ......" Empress Dowager Sun bowed slightly, but between her eyebrows, there was still a little doubt.

Seeing Empress Dowager Sun's expression, Wu Tianan naturally understood what Empress Dowager Sun was worried about, glanced at the left and right of the hall, cleared his throat and said again: "Cao Jixiang, before entering the palace, there was already a family, and there was a son Cao Qin, who was already eighteen years old, and now their mother and son live in Beijing. Many of Cao Jixiang's properties in Beijing are all under Cao Qin's name......"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun finally showed a little smile. "Wu Tianan, you bring the words to my brother and let him pay attention to one or two. Since you have an old relationship with that Cao Jixiang, then this matter will be handed over to you, if he can do something, the mourning family and the emperor will definitely not lose him. ”

"Rest assured, with your words, the old slave will definitely do this." Wu Tianan hurriedly bowed to the ground and said.

-------------------- "Wu Tianan, Wu Tianan, don't you want to force our family to a dead end?" Thanks to our family's lifelong friendship with you for more than ten years, you are so unrighteous. Cao Jixiang stared at Wu Tianan, who was sitting opposite him, slowly sipping fragrant tea, the look on his face, under the dim candlelight, was obscure, but those eyes looked like a wounded lone wolf, revealing a hideous and desperate.

Because he was purified after he became an adult, plus he has been in the army all the year round, his body is burly and tall, his complexion is dark, and even his voice looks very strong, not like a eunuch at all, but really like a general with a lot of military power.

"Ji Xianggong, do you think our family is harming you?" Wu Tianan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Cao Jixiang's words, raised his head, and calmly faced Cao Jixiang's vicious gaze. "You don't want to think about it, how Banzai treats you today, our family, but I picked a sunny road for you, don't you want to go?"

Cao Jixiang snorted coldly and said: "Sunshine Road, our family really wants to go as you say, who knows that one day, a knife will reach over and ask for our family's head." ”

"Ji Xianggong, do you think our family is harming you?" Wu Tianan unhappily put the tea cup on the table. "You are a person who knows the affairs of the army, now that you look at the general trend, do you think that on the grassland, Nawarat can still afford to turn over the big waves?"

When Cao Jixiang heard this, he couldn't help but perk up, and said with emotion: "Warat is already a turtle in the urn, where can it turn over any waves, speaking of which, our family is really impressed by the emperor's scheming and methods. ”

Wu Tianan couldn't help laughing and said, "Except for this, don't you see anything else?" ”

Cao Jixiang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Wu Tianan and said: "What's the use of seeing it, don't you think that the general soldiers in the border towns are all sent because they are subordinate to the emperor?" Hmph, those Qiu Ba, what they value most is nothing else, it is military merit, it is the battle record, if there is no these, do you think the Emperor Taishang can make them move? ”

Wu Tianan smiled coldly: "So what, now, the general soldiers of those towns are listening to the dispatch of the Emperor Taishang after all, not the will of Banzai today to let them be cautious and not to provoke without permission." In this way, do you think that according to the temper of the current Long Live Lord, in the future, they will still be able to reuse? ”

Cao Jixiang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute it, indeed, the temper of the Lord of Long Live is really not very good, and he is suspicious and suspicious, those Qiu Ba, don't look at one or two pretending to be stunned, but in fact, which one is not a belly twists and turns.

"After they are dismissed from military power, maybe even their military exploits will be taken captive. You don't think they really can see it? But why should they listen to the emperor? Wu Tianan's two questions once again made Cao Jixiang speechless.

After a long time, Cao Jixiang said a little depressedly: "So what, they must be the chief soldiers of other towns, our family is different, in the Beijing camp, not only our family has the final say, do you think that with our family alone, can it be of great use?" ”

-------------------- Wu Tianan smiled, approached Cao Jixiang a few more points, stared at Cao Jixiang's face, and there was a hint of treachery in his voice: "Jixianggong, when you say this, you are deceiving our family, who doesn't know that Jixianggong, you are anxious and righteous." Although you have been away from the Imperial Horse Supervisor for nearly two years, you must also know what the Imperial Horse Supervisor has become, such as Zhang Yong and a few other mediocre talents. ”

Hearing this, Cao Jixiang's face couldn't help but show a trace of arrogance, and he said unyieldingly: "This is natural, our family can't do anything else, but when it comes to governing the army, although it is not as good as Yang Dadu Governor and General Nashi, it is definitely not worse than those border town commanders, and now those Zhang Yong and others, I am afraid that they can't even distinguish the weapons and armor battles in our imperial horse prison." Cheng Yueli was thinking about how to make money from the imperial horse prison. Don't you know, a few days ago, there were several generals who came to our family to complain in private, hoping that we could speak for them. It's a pity that our family can't protect itself now, how can we still maintain them. Speaking of this, Cao Jixiang's expression couldn't help but feel a little more emotional and resentful.

"That's right, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, only in the hands of the auspicious prince, can it be regarded as the second only to the celebrant in the twelve eunuchs of the Inner Palace, so, those bastards who don't know about military affairs clearly regard the imperial horse supervisor as a cornucopia of silver, I am afraid that there will be another year and a half, and the imperial horse supervisor is afraid that it will never regain its former prestige." Wu Tianan also sighed.

Cao Jixiang's face was obviously darkened, his breathing became heavy, his big hand slowly clenched into a fist, and then slowly released, so repeatedly, you can imagine the torment in his heart.

"Actually, with your prestige in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, win over those generals who still don't forget the old master to you, then the Imperial Horse Supervisor, you are equivalent to half of the palm, as long as the time comes, you can stand up, this credit, you can get nine out of ten."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, he really wants to ......" Cao Jixiang raised his head with some hesitation, looked at Wu Tianan, and asked with some uncertainty.

"It doesn't matter if the Emperor really wants it, the important thing is that at the right time, if you can send charcoal in the snow, not only will the Emperor know that you are loyal to him, but the Queen Mother will naturally be very helpful to you. After that, not only your son, but even Cao Qin, he will definitely be able to get grace because of this, although he dare not say that he is a marquis, but a hereditary earl, if he wants to come to the emperor and the empress dowager, he will not be stingy. At that point, what else can you not be satisfied with? Wu Tianan added a big weight.

Cao Jixiang lowered his head, his face fell into darkness again and groaned for a long time, then he suddenly clenched his calloused fist and raised his head......
