Liu Chengfeng's words are thought-provoking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang An's behavior is indeed a bit strange, and it stands to reason that since he took the opportunity to make a lot of money, he should naturally keep a low profile. However, he is not low-key, knowing that the current emperor has always been strict and has great respect for the cabinet, but he is still happy to deliver some recitals that he thinks are urgent reports to the emperor.

This kind of behavior is very disgusting, although the emperor praised Wang An for that good news, but his attitude towards Wang An has long been much colder since then.

This is not good for Wang An, once someone in the cabinet proposes it, or if he casually says it in front of the emperor, he Wang An will be unlucky.

Wang An is by no means a fool, how could he not know this? But what was his purpose in doing this?

Liu Chengfeng almost exposed this inside story in a mocking tone: "Originally, I couldn't figure out this joint, but after thinking about it carefully, I actually understood that Wang An sold the news to the wrong person, and if it was sold to other firms, it would be okay for everyone to make a lot of money." But he didn't know that he sold to Hengyuan Commercial Bank, Hengyuan Commercial Bank was ostensibly established by ordinary businessmen, in fact, the biggest proprietor was Liu Ji, a university scholar, Liu Ji knew about this transaction, and immediately understood that Wang An could be used, and Wang An was particularly greedy for money, so he gave Wang An money many times, and wanted Wang An to inquire about the movements in the palace at any time. It's just that Wang An is just a eunuch of the General Administration, how many things can he know? He knew in his heart that if he always went to the palace every once in a while, the emperor would be furious sooner or later, so even if there was a silver lure, Wang An would never dare to take any more risks. But don't forget, Wang An's handle fell into the hands of Liu Ji, Wang An secretly peddled the news in the palace, as long as Liu Ji let people publicize it, he Wang An will definitely die without a place to be buried. It is precisely because of this that Liu Ji used this to blackmail Wang An, so that Wang An had to go to the palace for Liu Ji to listen to the information. ”

"Although few people know the news that the emperor is seriously ill, but anyone who has a heart can always see a clue, that Wang An is well-behaved and smart, he has met the emperor many times, and deliberately approached the emperor's attendant eunuchs, he is a person with a heart, so he naturally saw something. So he hurriedly reported the news to Liu Ji. ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Liu Ji coldly, and then said: "And when Lord Liu Ji heard the news at first glance, he immediately knew that something was wrong. ”

"Who is Liu Ji? Of course, he knew that His Majesty ordered him to enter the cabinet, not because of his virtue, but because of his talent, kings have always been alternate, especially when the prince was young, people like Liu Ji would definitely be suppressed, and the emperor could still suppress this Liu Ji when he was there, who could guarantee that the prince could control him? So he knew in his heart that he was going to be finished, and he had to find a way to save himself, and the way to save himself was very simple, get rid of me......"

In fact, Liu Chengfeng did not say some reasons, that is, the emperor's deeper thoughts. Liu Ji has no value for the emperor, with Liu Ji's eyesight, how can he not see that the emperor has already arranged the future? In fact, these lists can be guessed, Liu Jian and others are still in charge of the cabinet and presiding over the affairs of the imperial court. Liu Chengfeng and Xiao Jing are responsible for checking and balancing the cabinet to ensure the stability of the crown prince's throne. After all, although the cabinet needs to be responsible to the emperor, it also has its own interests, although the interests they represent are most of the same as those in the palace, but sometimes in order to protect their own interests, they are contrary to the interests of the palace.

And Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Jing, and Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, are obviously much more deeply connected with the palace, and what they represent is the interests of the royal family. When the interests of the royal family and the interests of the scholars reached a certain balance, the position of the crown prince was naturally stable.

But what if Liu Chengfeng falls? Liu Ji sees this point, if Liu Chengfeng falls, then his lost dog obviously has the value of use, because as soon as Liu Chengfeng falls, Xiao Jing and Cheng Guogong alone will not be able to shake the cabinet, that is to say, the royal interest group is very likely to be crushed under the feet of the scholar's interest group, which the emperor does not want to see.

In order to maintain this balance, the emperor will definitely choose a weighty figure to participate in and increase his weight. Liu Ji naturally went from being a person who was eliminated to a useful figure. Since Xiao Jing and Cheng Guogong can't suppress the cabinet, they still keep Liu Ji in the cabinet, and the surname Suo causes a split in the cabinet.

In other words, there are only six candidates for the emperor's auxiliary ministers, if Liu Chengfeng is here, Liu Ji will be out of the game, and the result of being out of the game is to strip off all rights and wait to be liquidated at any time. But if Liu Chengfeng falls, Liu Jian will leap into the center of the future imperial court and become one of the most powerful people in the world.

Liu Ji had no choice, after learning the news that His Majesty was seriously ill, his only thought was to completely destroy Liu Chengfeng before the emperor made up his mind, no matter what means were used, no matter how risky it would be.

Liu Ji's thoughts, Liu Chengfeng understands, how can Zhu Youzhu not understand? Don't say that it is the emperor, Xiao Jing and Xie Qian are afraid that they have already seen the clues, but many things cannot be explained thoroughly, so everyone understands in their hearts.

Liu Chengfeng continued: "In this way, the matter will be sorted out, Wang An was coerced by Liu Ji to find out the news in the palace for Liu Ji, and His Majesty was seriously ill, just for this Wang An to see the clue, when Liu Ji learned that His Majesty was seriously ill, he was immediately anxious, so he had to plan for himself, and finally decided to take risks, so he began to plan to kill Zhou Cheng's family, in advance, he first looked for Zhou Chenglai, and instigated Zhou Cheng not to take the road, but to take the road to Jingxian, where the road is secluded and uninhabited, It's just the right time to kill people. That Zhou Cheng listened to Liu Ji's words, and at the same time, Liu Ji was determined to find a helper, although he was a scholar, but he didn't have any private samurai, so he thought about it, and finally found Wantong ......"

"Vantone?" Zhu Youzhu finally spoke, Wantong is an extremely sensitive person, Zhu Youzhu heard that Wantong was also involved, so he naturally wanted to ask.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Yes, Weichen found that Wantong has been very close to Liu Ji recently, and Wantong also has some connections with the envoys of the Monan Ministries. Wantong really wanted to collude with King Ning, but for some reason, maybe King Ning felt that Wantong was too hated by the palace and had a bad reputation, so he didn't deal with him. ”

Liu Chengfeng's words are very vague, in fact, there is another reason but he didn't say it, King Ning is now preparing for a rebellion, and he doesn't want to attract attention at this time, and Wantong is too eye-catching, so he naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with this guy, so that Wantong is suddenly convicted, so that the court can start Nanchang early, and King Ning is now fighting for time to prepare, so he naturally doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

"Wantong and King Ning can't get in touch, and he lost the command of Jinyiwei, and he is worried in his heart, but Liu Ji found him and asked him to participate in this major event, Liu Ji is looking for him, most of the reason why he thinks Wantong has collusion with outsiders, on the other hand, Wantong is also in danger, and he also holds a grudge against Weichen."

After Wantong was instructed by Liu Ji, for some reason, he found people from the Monan tribes, so he quickly hit it off with Saikan Khan. In this murder, everyone's target is actually Wechen. Liu Ji had no choice but to keep his power. Wantong is not guaranteed day and night, and is eager to take revenge. As for the ...... of the Race Journal"

Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "What she wants is not necessarily to see me unlucky." The reason why she was so enthusiastic was that she just wanted someone to kill Zhou Cheng, and then forced me to go to the desert in desperation to join her for her drive. So these three people joined forces and echoed each other from afar, if it weren't for His Majesty's Mingjian, he would still let Wechen thoroughly investigate the case, but I was afraid that Wechen would ......"

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't have imagined that an assassination would lead to so many people, from Wang An of the General Administration Department to Liu Ji, a cabinet scholar, from Liu Ji to Wantong, and from Wantong to Saikan Khan.

These four originally unrelated people came together by accident, and they ended up making such a trick.

Each of them has its own purpose, each of them hides a ghost, but the common interests bring them together.

The matter has come to light, then Liu Ji is already as pale as earth, at this time he can't deny it, Liu Chengfeng's inference is almost completely correct, even if he wants to deny it, as long as he catches Wang An, takes Wantong, or goes to take those assassins in Honglu Temple, everything can be understood. The more he denies it, the greater the responsibility, and it is not that he generously admits it. He kowtowed fiercely, and said to Zhu Youzhu in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is dead, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

He himself admitted his guilt, that is to say, what Liu Chengfeng said just now was accurate. At this moment, even Xie Qian and Xiao Jing couldn't help but change color, they couldn't have imagined that a person like Liu Ji, with such a high position of power, would actually do such a thing. The dignified cabinet scholar actually personally instructed people to kill people and kill people.

Zhu Youzhu was motionless at this moment, obviously in deep thought. What he has to decide now is how to deal with the aftermath.
