Chapter Eighty-Six: Serial Scheme
"In the building? Two thousand taels of silver? Cao Yuanshan frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, tilted his head, and said, "Why doesn't the minister remember this?" What kind of building is this? Red Mansion? Yellow House? Or is it a green house? ”
"You!" Li Guanqi almost didn't come up by Cao Yuan's breath from the top of the mountain, and suddenly stood up, and wanted to have a seizure, but he instantly restrained himself again, and continued to say with a smile: "Since you don't remember, then I think I remembered it wrong." Where is the reason why creditors don't keep their debts? ”
"Since there is no such thing as borrowing money, I don't know what other instructions the emperor has?" Cao Yuanshan said with a smile on his face. He felt that he had enough reason to laugh, since he fought Li Guanqi and Zu Donglai in the secret fight, this young emperor had never really suffered a loss, but today he was completely defeated in his own hands, how could he suppress his excitement?
Li Guanqi was also smiling, his smile was equally bright, and his voice still revealed a calm that he shouldn't have: "I'm still young, where is there anything to teach you old ministers?" Stand down! ”
"Retire!" Cao Yuanshan kowtowed and said. Only then did he react, from beginning to end, Li Guanqi didn't let him calm down at all, realizing this, the smile on his face couldn't help but stagnate. But Li Guanqi's next words really made him unable to laugh at all.
"I also made an appointment with Zu Dong to come, I think it should be here too!" Li Guanqi said casually, but his eyes never left Cao Yuanshan's body, and he saw a trace of imperceptible tremor.
Cao Yuanshan finally understood at this moment that he was still in the hands of Li Guanqi after all, with Zu Donglai's suspicion, if he saw him come out of the Tiren Pavilion alone, I don't know how he would feel? At the very least, Zu Donglai will no longer trust himself as much as before for a period of time......
Sure enough, when Cao Yuanshan left, he saw deep doubt and distrust in the eyes of Zu Donglai, who had just come in......
Since Li Guanqi ascended the throne, Zu Donglai, the prime minister, and Li Guanqi, the emperor, have not dealt with each other much, although no one has taken the initiative to turn their faces until now, but for a few months, this monarch has not met very seriously.
Therefore, Zu Donglai was very surprised that Li Guanqi suddenly summoned him to the Imperial Garden; When he entered the Imperial Garden and saw Cao Yuanshan coming out of the Tiren Pavilion alone, he was even more surprised; But what he didn't expect was that this was not the thing that surprised him the most today.
Li Guanqi's words were calm: "Fan Jian, the commander of the imperial guards, colluded with the eunuch Tang Mao with bad intentions and wanted to commit a rebellious act, but He Ziming was killed on the spot. ”
Zu Donglai's mood was absolutely uncalm: Fan Jian was in charge of the Ouchi guards, and he was one of his two most important armed forces, which could be said to be his left hand; Tang Mao is the closest person to the emperor in his interest group, and with him, Li Guanqi's every move can't be hidden from himself, it can be said that he is his own eyes.
Now overnight, Li Guanqi has abolished his eyes and an arm, how can Zu Donglai not be surprised?
Although he was surprised, Zu Donglai still kept enough calm, he didn't believe that Fan Jian and Tang Mao would be so stupid and reckless, and they would take matters into their own hands without their consent. There was a question, but what Li Guanqi said was very clear, the two had been killed by He Ziming on the spot, and they came directly to death without proof!
Zu Donglai understood very well that the reason why Li Guanqi called himself over and told him these things was to hit himself in person. To tell the truth, he was really hit a little bit, he had been preparing for so long, and before the war started, he lost two generals, and it would not be good to let anyone go.
It was precisely because of the severe blow that Zu Donglai kept reminding himself in his heart that he must be calm at this time.
After calming down, Zu Donglai thought of something even more surprising - how did Li Guanqi know that Tang Mao and Fan Jian were his own people?
People's thoughts have infinite divergence and associative ability, and without any prompting, Zu Dong naturally thought of Cao Yuanshan, who had just left......
Zu Donglai didn't remember what Li Guanqi said later, he just wanted to go back quickly and reorganize his thoughts, Li Guanqi's sudden attack completely disrupted his plan. The originally discussed plan to force the palace in the Qinzheng Palace, because of Fan Jian's loss, has completely lost its feasibility. He must gather his henchmen and renegotiate a new plan, of course, Cao Yuanshan must not be called anymore.
After Zu Donglai left, He Ziming flashed out of the shadows and asked Li Guanqi suspiciously: "The emperor did not let his ministers arrest the rebellion among the Ouchi guards, saying that he was afraid of startling the snake; But now that the emperor has told Zu Donglai about Fan Jian and Tang Mao, wouldn't it be too much to startle the snake? ”
Li Guanqi shook his head with a smile and said: "You are scaring the grass and scaring the snake, and I am knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, which must not be confused." ”
He Ziming smiled awkwardly and said, "The minister is ignorant, I really can't see the difference!" ”
Li Guanqi said slowly: "Although the rebellious identity of the Ouchi guards has been revealed, but Zu Donglai and they don't know yet, if they are moved at this time, it will be a startling snake, which will only make them more careful." ”
Standing up and taking two steps, Li Guanqi continued: "But the matter between Fan Jian and Tang Mao is different, even if I don't say it, Zu Donglai will definitely know that something has happened to the two of them tomorrow at the latest, and then they will also be more careful and make other preparations." However, I took the initiative to talk to him, but it was completely different. ”
"How is it different?" He Ziming still has difficulty understanding.
Li Guanqi snorted lightly in his nose and said, "Yunjing, do you remember that when you were with Yunguan, I said that I would force his ancestor Donglai to make mistakes?" ”
He Ziming smiled embarrassedly and said, "Remembering is naturally remembering, but the minister has never known how the emperor can force Zu Donglai to make mistakes." ”
Li Guanqi smiled mysteriously and said, "I took the initiative to tell him about Fan Jian and Tang Mao, and I was forcing him. Although these two people are not the most important people in his camp, they play a very big role in his camp. Now I'm telling him, 'I'm just hitting you, and I'm picking you where you hurt, what can you do?' ’”
"If it's a minister, the minister will be very angry and will want to get the field back quickly!" He Ziming said suddenly with a sense of realization.
Li Guanqi nodded and said: "Zu Donglai is also a human being, and he is also a very strong person, being humiliated by me in front of him, although he may not be as eager to retaliate as you think, but at least he will be in chaos for a period of time." As long as he messes up, he will make mistakes, and if he makes mistakes, our chance will come! ”
