Zhu Houzhao listened and was silent, he was really a little shaken at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Don't look at him, he is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is usually under the wing of his father and queen mother, and he has not experienced any strong winds and waves, and the ministers suddenly became difficult, the Mongolian side was aggressive, and even the queen mother's mind was unpredictable, at this time, he suddenly felt that he had an indescribable isolation.

This is not a question of trusting Liu Jin or not, the real problem is that under this pressure, Zhu Houzhao will not sacrifice Liu Jin in order to calm things down.

Emotionally, he and Liu Jin accompany each other day and night, and the feelings in it are extremely deep, but they are ...... Zhu Houzhao sighed, he thought that when he became the emperor, he would have a lot of rights, but who knows, all he got was invisible pressure, and these pressures made him a little breathless.

"Go down, I'll think again." Zhu Houzhao shook his head depressedly and drove Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai out.

This Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai came out of the Zhengxin Hall together, but they were full of worries, they had a hunch that in this storm, if they couldn't do something, they were afraid that in the end, they would also become victims.

It seems that this time it seems to be aimed at a guerrilla general, but looking at the various actions of the cabinet, it is clear that it is dealing with Liu Jin, but Liu Jin is not isolated, behind Liu Jin are the Eight Tigers, a group of upstarts after the new emperor ascended the throne.

If it's just like this, the two of them don't feel anything, Liu Jin and these people are really not things, there is no need to mess around with them, at most, they just use them, even if they die, people like Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai won't even frown for them.

But if it is really just to deal with the Eight Tigers, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai know deeply that the cabinet is ostensibly acting against a guerrilla general, a little deeper is against Liu Jin, and if you think deeper, it is against the Eight Tigers, but what about behind this?

The real purpose behind it is not the guerrilla general, nor Liu Jin, nor the Eight Tigers, these people are just skins, just tools, and the real purpose of the cabinet is actually the emperor!

This is what Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai think is terrible, what kind of things have they never seen in their lives? In the eyes of superficial people, it seems that the cabinet is only going to fight the Eight Tigers, but don't forget, the Eight Tigers are the emperor's henchmen, and they are the pawns of the battle for power and imperial power, and what the Eight Tigers do is exactly what the emperor wants to do.

If you sort things out again, things will be very clear, the cabinet is powerful, pointing fingers at everything in the name of Gu Ming, and the little emperor is young, and he has almost no power to fight back in the face of these old and cunning ministers, in this case, the little emperor must have his own helper, and in the deep palace, who else can the emperor's helper besides the eunuch? For the little emperor, the only eunuchs who can gain his trust and become his right-hand man are Liu Jin.

So the West Factory was established, and with the connivance and even the acquiescence of the emperor, the West Factory headed by Liu Jin competed with the cabinet.

If this matter is clear, then all the problems are obviously clear, the purpose of the cabinet is not a guerrilla general, not Liu Jin, not the Eight Tigers, but the new emperor, the emperor they want is an emperor who is obedient to him.

Zhu Houzhao obviously did not meet their requirements, so he was determined to get rid of Liu Jin, cut off the emperor's wings, and let everything return to the original track.

This is the truth, any minister or person in power who has entered the center, no one will compete with others because of morality, once they do it to others, the only possibility is to fight for power.

It is precisely because of their insight into the real purpose of the cabinet that Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang are so worried, their purpose is also the regime, the cabinet wants to fight for power and overwhelm the imperial power, and they have long coveted the cabinet and have already given birth to the idea of replacing it.

However, although they were born in a noble family, they are all from the Ji Jishi, they want to have qualifications and qualifications, and they want to have merit, but they are not allowed by their colleagues under the cabinet system, if they follow their next life trajectory, at most they should be a less important Shangshu should return to their hometowns and honestly go back to their hometowns to retire. But they are obviously not very willing, who are Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian? They are just Ji Jishi, and everyone has the same qualifications, why are they extremely popular ministers, but they are disgraced?

It is precisely because of this unwillingness that the two of them felt that they had seized the opportunity in the emperor's determination to build the palace, so they did not hesitate to fall directly to the emperor, that is, when the imperial power was consolidated, they directly won the cabinet with the help of the emperor's dependence on them.

The premise of whether the two can enter the cabinet is in this imperial power, if the imperial power can be consolidated and can overwhelm the cabinet, they will have a good future, but if the cabinet is more powerful, the outliers among the two ministers are afraid that they will suffer.

So...... Liu Jin can't fall, if he is finished, the two of them are afraid that it will be completely finished.

"Jiao Gong."

Out of the Zhengxin Palace, Zhang Cai glanced at Jiao Fang and said meaningfully: "What will happen to the Queen Mother?" ”

Zhang Cai is an extremely smart person, he didn't ask about the impeachment recital, nor did he ask the Mongolian letter, he only asked the empress dowager, because the real arbiter of the two sides of the contest is only the Empress Dowager Zhang, the so-called impeachment recital, the so-called Mongolian letter, in fact, are the cabinet's means to win over the Empress Dowager Zhang, as long as the Empress Dowager Zhang thinks that the elimination of Liu Jin can calm people's hearts and make the border town stable, then the Empress Dowager Zhang will decree, no one can protect Liu Jin.

But if it is the other way around, if Empress Dowager Zhang feels that the problem is not too serious and refuses to come up with effective means at this time, then Liu Jin's surname will be saved, and then it will be the time for Xichang to retaliate frantically.

Jiao Fang raised his head and looked at the sky, today the sky is excellent, cloudless, clear sky, this weather is the same as people's hearts, you can see the present, but you can't see the future, maybe this moment the sky is blue, the next moment is a storm.

Jiao Fang was silent for a short time, at his age, a person of his qualifications had already developed the ability to hide the edge in the depths of his heart, but his face always made people wonder what he was thinking.

He raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a very flat tone: "Actually, it doesn't matter what the Empress Dowager Zhang thinks, but what the emperor thinks, Lord Zhang, the emperor is God." ”

He said such a sentence, if it is an ordinary person, it may be strange, now the emperor is not pro-government, the queen mother is at the top, and the cabinet is at the bottom, and there are many constraints, what does the emperor think, in fact, it really doesn't matter, not to mention that the little emperor was just disrupted all of a sudden, and he has no means to deal with it at all, relying on him, can he really decide Liu Jin's life and death?

But after all, Zhang Cai is the person in the center, just after a little thought, he suddenly understood, the reason why the little emperor hesitated was because no one gave him enough courage and confidence, no one let him learn from the pain, as long as someone hid behind the emperor's back and quietly planned for him, it is still unknown who will die in this duel, in the final analysis, whether the queen mother can decide, not only lies in the coercion and influence of the cabinet on the queen mother, but also in the emperor, the emperor really has to be iron-hearted, after all, the queen mother is still a mother, mother and son are connected, and the decision is still in the emperor.

Zhang Cai couldn't help but become a little excited, the cabinet moved, in fact, how could it not show flaws because of this, once things could not turn out as they expected, in the end the cabinet could not be closed, and in the end it was very likely that there would be chaos because of this, and at that time...... Myself...... Zhang Cai said movingly: "The old man understands, if this is the case, why not ......"

Jiao Fang smiled, gently patted Zhang Cai's shoulder with his palm, and said kindly: "You mean to find Liu Jin to give a strategy?" The old man sees that this is not necessary, don't worry, then Liu Jin will naturally send it to the door. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a little eunuch running over, saluted the two, and said: "Two adults, Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong have always admired the demeanor of the two adults, and they are eager to see them, I don't know if the two adults are willing to appreciate the light?" Gonggong Liu was waiting in the side hall in front of him......"

When the little eunuch said this, Zhang Cai couldn't help but glance at Jiao Fang in surprise, he faintly felt that this Jiao Fang was even more difficult than he had imagined before, and in this rickety and old body, there seemed to be a force that could not be underestimated.

Jiao Fang just smiled mildly and said, "Since that's the case, then ask your father-in-law to lead the way." ”

This father-in-law is leading the way, Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai are following behind, this is a forbidden place in the palace, under normal circumstances, courtiers are not allowed to stay at will after entering the palace to meet them, but today is an exception, so this eunuch only dares to lead them to the dark path, but this is not a harem, and it will not bump into nobles, so there is not too much hindrance.

Jiao Fang uncovered the mystery for Zhang Cai in the back, and said: "Who is this Liu Jin, he can have today, all he relies on is given by the emperor, and he serves the emperor's affairs, can he not care?" So the old man knew that if you and I played against the emperor just now, I was afraid that as soon as it came out of my mouth, Liu Jin's henchmen had already quietly reported to Liu Jin. Liu Jin is now what Wanfu is referring to, walking on thin ice, after all, he is just a eunuch, he has never seen anything in the world, and it is okay to make some conspiracies, but where has he seen this kind of big battle? I'm afraid that at this time, it is worse than the emperor of the six gods and no master? At this time, he listened to you and me in the emperor said a good word for him, naturally like grasping a life-saving straw, I just want to immediately ask you and me to show him a way out, so the old man just said, you and I don't need to look for that Liu Gonggong, this Liu Gonggong will find you and me, now whether it is the inner or outer court, it has come to the time of life and death, this time, the cabinet wants to kill Liu Jin, we will take the opportunity to collapse the cabinet! ”

When Jiao Fang said this, his cloudy eyes flashed with a luster that was not commensurate with his age, he had been waiting for this for too long, and now, it was finally not his turn to be a marginal character who was excluded by others, and he bloomed with dazzling light.

At this time, Liu Jin was anxiously waiting in the side hall, originally his brother made a mistake, the cabinet did not move at all, he thought that the cabinet did not want to provoke him, so Liu Jin was proud of this, but now the criticism and impeachment and even the national letter into the palace like a sea of mountains, he was dumbfounded, in fact, at the beginning, he still felt that the problem would not be very serious, but when the cabinet scholars directly entered the palace to find the Empress Dowager Zhang, Liu Jin suddenly realized that he may be finished, and people have been planning for a long time. has been planning to put himself to death.

At this time, Liu Jin can be said to be restless, on the one hand, he arranged for someone to find out the emperor's reaction, and on the other hand, he asked people to go to the queen mother's palace to investigate, the emperor made him a little disappointed, and the news that the queen mother got made his heart sink to the bottom.

It is said that the three scholars have been in the palace of the Queen Mother for more than an hour, the Queen Mother only left a female official by her side, and the rest of the palace people have all retreated.

Something is wrong.

He was like an ant in a hot pot, and suddenly he turned around in this empty hall with his hands, and suddenly stopped, grabbed the coffee table on the table to drink, but holding the tea cup in his hand, he suddenly thought of something, and forgot to eat the tea, and then put it back again, sighed heavily, and suddenly gritted his teeth and sneered.

Knock ...... Knock ...... There was a knock on the door outside, the sound was crisp and rhythmic, this was the secret signal of Liu Jin's henchman, Liu Jin suddenly came back to his senses, a trace of expectation flashed in his desperate eyes, and hurriedly said: Enter ...... In. ”

It was not the eunuch who came in, but Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai, these two people looked calm and calm, and glanced at Liu Jin, who had no master, Liu Jin almost pounced, and fell directly to the ground, and said: "The death of the miscellaneous family is on the verge of death, and those who kill a thousand knives want to put the miscellaneous family to death, only the two adults said a few fair words for the miscellaneous family, and today I invite the second prince to come, I want to ask the second prince to guide the miscellaneous family, save me, save me......"

The dignified eunuch of the West Factory, the big celebrity in front of the emperor, at this time, where can he still take care of what kind of frame and cheek, and poured out the most flattering and pleading words in one go.

Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai glanced at each other, with a little calmness in their eyes, and smiled knowingly, but for Liu Jin, although they didn't look down on it, they also knew the importance of Liu Jin, Jiao Fang hurriedly helped Liu Jin up, and said with a pleasant face: "I have long admired the name of Father-in-law Liu, Father-in-law Liu is too polite, get up and speak first." ”
