Xu Liang's face suddenly changed, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "When Cao Huachun entered the palace at this time, he must have found some eyebrows from Chai Lao Liu and Luo Bing, and he was in a hurry to report to the emperor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"My lord, what shall we do?" Yan Qi and the others also changed their faces, "If Chai Lao Liu and Luo Bing confess to you, the emperor will definitely be furious." ”

Xu Liang walked around and shook his head slowly, "Don't panic yet, I think even if the emperor knows that I did this, he won't do anything to me." After all, there are still some constraints between me and the emperor. However, the Zodiac Week is dangerous! The emperor won't do anything to me, but he doesn't have any worries about dealing with the earth's ecliptic Zhou. ”

Xu Liang thought about it, so he said categorically: "We must rescue Huang Daozhou before the emperor makes a decision." ”

The three of them nodded fiercely, and the iron head said, "General Dai's five hundred men and horses are on standby outside, and this time is just in handy!" Hehe, even if the East Factory is a tiger's den in Longtan, his subordinates have to break through! ”

"Right now, Cao Huachun happens to be not in the East Factory!" Yan Qi said excitedly, he was in charge of the Jingshi Qingyi Guard, and his subordinates had constant friction with the Dongji Factory and Jinyiwei before, and he had long wanted to fight with the people of the Dongchang Factory. It's just that this kind of thing is a big matter, and without Xu Liang's consent, he doesn't have the courage to do so. Now that he finally has this opportunity to have a long time with the people in Dongchang, Yan Qizheng is eager to hear Xu Liang's meaning, and he is excited.

Xu Liang rolled his eyes and looked at the three subordinates, and shouted helplessly: "It's daytime!" In broad daylight, you want to storm the yamen of the East Investigation Factory? Your brains are kicked by donkeys? ”

When Tietou and the others heard this, their faces turned sneered, Yan Qi rubbed his hands very embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "My lord, aren't we discussing." When do you think it's the right time to do it? ”

Xu Liang thought for a while, and his tone was calm: "Tonight must be dark and windy, as long as the hour comes, the nine gates of the Beijing Division will be closed, and then it will be the best time to kill people and set fires." ”

Tie Tou, Yan Qi, and Duan Zhigang suddenly looked admired: "My lord is far-sighted, and my subordinates are ashamed of themselves." ”

Xu Liang scolded: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, plan the manpower and route well, since you want to do it, you must do it foolproof." ”

So, Xu Liang closed the door of the study and discussed with the three subordinates.

In the Dongjiang Courtyard, Xu Liang closed the door to discuss, and at the same time, in the palace of the Yang Xin Palace, Emperor Chongzhen also summoned the three elders of the cabinet into the Yang Xin Palace, and they were also discussing.

The content of the discussion was the news that Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, entered the palace to report to Emperor Chongzhen.

On the dragon case, there were the confessions of Luo Bing and Chai Lao Liu, presented by Cao Huachun, the superintendent of Dongchang Factory. Several elders in the Heart Cultivation Hall have circulated it.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Three Aiqing, in your opinion, how should the court case be handled?" ”

Cabinet Minister Wen Tiren's tone was calm, and he couldn't wait for his turn to speak, so he preempted the second assistant of the cabinet, Xu Gelao, and said categorically: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, is bold and secretly manipulates this court push. Judging from the confession submitted by Dongchang Cao's father-in-law, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied! The emperor, Xu Liang's son is so rebellious, there is no royal law, the old minister thinks that Ling Chi should be executed for the crime, and the nine clans will be razed, and the police will serve you! ”

As soon as the elder Wen Ge spoke, everyone in the Heart Cultivation Hall suddenly looked sideways. Cao Huachun was secretly surprised: This Wen Tiren hates Xu Liang so much, and he is punished so heavily when he opens his mouth. Speaking from the heart, Cao Huachun wished that the court would give Xu Liang a severe punishment, and Cao Gonggong was just about to join Wen Ge Lao, but he suddenly found that the emperor and Xu Ge Lao, Sun Ge Lao listened to Wen Ge Lao's proposal, and they were silent.

The emperor's brows furrowed even deeper, and he glanced at Wen Ge Lao with dissatisfaction, and secretly scolded: Wen Tiren, this old guy is really getting less and less eyesight! If I plan to kill Xu Liang, I will directly order to take people, and I will also summon the three of you pavilion elders into the palace to discuss something!

"Elder Xu Ge, tell me what you think." The emperor did not comment on Wen Ge Lao's proposal, and turned to Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet.

After Elder Xu Ge arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, after reading the two confessions, he had been pondering the emperor's intention of calling him into the palace. Now seeing that the emperor was noncommittal to Wen Tiren's proposal, he somewhat understood the emperor's plan. Because of that oath, the emperor couldn't do anything to Xu Liang. However, what Xu Liang did was there, and he let him go so easily, the emperor must have been very unwilling in his heart, and called the three elders of the cabinet into the palace together, just to work together to come up with a way to rectify Xu Liang and not let the emperor feel burdened.

Elder Xu Ge coughed lightly, then arched his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Xu Liang should be punished for doing such a lawless thing, but it is not appropriate to punish too severely. ”

Wen Tiren's proposal was snubbed by the emperor, and he was not happy in his heart, but now when he saw Xu Ge Lao standing up against his proposal again, he couldn't help but be annoyed, his eyes widened, and he asked angrily: "When Xu Ge Lao said such a thing, the old man was really confused!" Such a heinous crime, Xu Ge Lao actually said something that should not be severely punished, which really made the old man feel cold! Xu Ge Lao deliberately shielded Xu Liang so deliberately, what was his intention? ”

When Xu Ge heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scold Wen Tiren for being an idiot! Rolling his eyes, he turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to Wen Tiren.

The emperor waved his hand at Wen Tiren and said, "Wen Aiqing, let Elder Xu Ge finish speaking." Elder Xu Ge, in your opinion, how should you deal with Xu Liang? ”

Wen Tiren couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Emperor Chongzhen in surprise. Wen Tiren once again wondered if something had happened between the emperor and Xu Liang that he didn't know. Because Wen Tiren proposed to deal with Xu Liang several times, the emperor talked about him left and right, and his words flickered.

Elder Xu Ge groaned, thought for a while, and then said with a ashamed face: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old minister was shocked when he heard such news, and he didn't come up with any good way for a while. ”

The Emperor was disappointed.

Wen Tiren sneered again: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that taking this opportunity to get rid of Xu Liang is justified!" ”

Elder Xu Ge rolled his eyes and said: "Now get rid of Xu Liang, nearly 100,000 troops in Shaanxi have mutinied, can Elder Wen Ge deal with it?" ”

"This ...... Old Xu Ge, you are deliberately biased towards Xu Liang! Wen Tiren was extremely angry, and shouted angrily: "Kill Xu Liang, the court will naturally have a way to deal with the rest of the matter." ”

Elder Xu Ge sneered: "Lord Wen is a good skill!" Anyway, I, Xu Guangqi, have no way to face 100,000 Shaanxi soldiers! ”

Wen Tiren choked, his face turned red, and he turned to look at Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and said, "Elder Sun Ge is familiar with military affairs, and Elder Sun Ge must have a way." ”

Sun Chengzong raised his eyelids, shook his head and said, "I can't do anything at the moment." Once the Shaanxi mutiny, the court will be helpless! ”

Wen Tiren was stunned again, this time he finally had no temper. In the cabinet, Xu Ge Lao and Sun Ge Lao had different opinions from their own, and the emperor did not agree with his proposal, Wen Tiren suddenly found that he seemed to be isolated by the emperor and the cabinet, so he stood and sulked.

Emperor Chongzhen watched the three cabinet ministers arguing in front of him, but he couldn't come up with a suitable way, so he couldn't help knocking on the dragon case fiercely, and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, I came to you to discuss things, not quarrel. Sun Aiqing, you have always had a way, tell me, how to do it? ”

The emperor put his last hope on Sun Ge Lao and looked at Sun Chengzong with anticipation.

Sun Ge Lao guessed the emperor's thoughts, and after hearing the words, he pondered for a long time before he spoke, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought about it, and really thought of a good way not to force Xu Liang to rebel, but also to make him hurt his muscles and bones." ”

"Aiqing really lives up to my expectations, come quickly." When the emperor heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, looked at Sun Ge Lao eagerly, and urged.

Xu Ge Lao, Wen Tiren, Cao Huachun and others all stared at Sun Chengzong, waiting for Sun Chengzong's good way.

Elder Sun Ge explained his plan to the emperor and several ministers like this, and the emperor nodded again and again when he heard it, and he was overjoyed. At the end, he laughed and said: "Sun Aiqing's plan is very good! Just act according to Aiqing's plan! Well, leave this matter to Xu Aiqing and Sun Aiqing, the sooner the better! ”

Elder Xu Ge and Elder Sun Ge came out and said respectfully: "The old minister obeys the order. ”

A problem was solved so easily by Sun Ge Lao, and Xu Ge Lao almost admired Sun Ge Lao so much. Looking back at every difficult matter in the past court, as long as Sun Ge Lao came out, there was almost nothing that could not be solved.

And Wen Tiren's gaze at Sun Ge Lao was jealous. Sun Chengzong is so capable, every proposal has won the emperor's heart, if this continues, where will there be his own place in the cabinet in the future? Seeing Xu Ge Lao and Sun Ge Lao walking out while talking in a low voice, Wen Tiren's heart was like a poured five-flavor bottle, no wonder it was not a taste, he deliberately took a few steps behind, walked with Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang Factory, walked out of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and went down the steps, Wen Tiren smiled at Cao Huachun and asked, "Father-in-law Cao, the old man asked you something?" ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "Elder Wen is polite, Elder Pavilion inquired, our family must know everything, and there is no end to what we say." ”

Elder Wen Ge looked left and right, then approached Cao Huachun, and asked in a low voice: "Has the father-in-law noticed that the emperor has no objection to Xu Ge Lao's obvious protection of Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi?" Between the emperor, Xu Ge Lao, and Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, is there something hidden from us? ”

Cao Huachun was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. However, Cao Huachun didn't know what the specific reason was, and couldn't help but gossip close to Wen Ge Lao: "I didn't think it before, but now I listen to Wen Ge Lao's reminder, it seems that there is really such a thing." Hey, Elder Wenge, do you know what's going on? ”

When Wen Tiren saw Cao Huachun's demeanor, he was disappointed in the bottom of his heart. He was sure that Cao Huachun in front of him was an uninformed person, just like himself.

Cao Huachun doesn't even know such important information! How did he, the supervisor of the East Investigation Factory, become! Elder Wen Ge immediately lost the interest in continuing to talk with Cao Huachun.

He shook his head with deep regret: "The old man doesn't know either. But the old man's feeling will not be wrong. Gonggong Cao, if you have the opportunity, you might as well set the words of Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, this kind of thing, others don't know, and Wang Gonggong definitely knows. ”

Cao Huachun blinked his eyes and nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I have to ask the prince about this." After saying that, he looked back and saw that Wang Chengen did not come out with him and the others, so he had to leave with Wen Tiren in disappointment.

It was night, there was no moon, and the sky was covered with darkness, and the night was really dark.

In the Dongjiang Courtyard, the front yard was full of people in black suits. The breeze blows the clothes, the torches reflect the light of the sword, and it is cold and severe.

A Taishi chair was placed on the platform from the front yard to the back yard, and Xu Liang sat with a golden sword, looking at the black night sky. Tie Tou, Yan Qi, and Duan Zhigang stood around with their hands in their hands, waiting quietly.

The torches in the four corners of the courtyard were beeping and burning, and the men in the strong suits under the torches had a cold and resolute face.

Wow! A string of fireworks rose in the night sky in the direction of Zhengyangmen. The red stars scattered in the night sky, fell, and then extinguished.

Xu Liang stood up suddenly, stepped forward, looked at the black-clothed man standing in the courtyard with a calm face, and then bent down and bowed deeply.

"Thank you all for your hard work tonight! Please! ”

Xu Liang got up and said in a deep voice.

The black-clothed men all over the courtyard clenched their fists in unison.

Xu Liang bowed his hand again, then looked at Tietou and Yan Qi, and nodded seriously.

Tietou and Yan Qi were also dressed in black suits. Both of them bowed their hands to Xu Liang, then strode down the steps, and waved their hands to the black-clothed man in the courtyard, "Go!" ”

Countless black-clothed people followed Tietou and Yan Qi out of the Dongjiang Courtyard, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Xu Liang stood and watched the last man in black disappear into the night, for a long time, and sighed lightly.

Duan Zhigang stood beside Xu Liang and said to Xu Liang: "My lord, it's time for us to leave." ”

Xu Liang nodded, looked back at the Dongjiang Courtyard behind him, and his expression was complicated, "I left Jingshi this time, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

Duan Zhigang said: "My lord, the situation may not be so bad. ”

Xu Liang shook his head and said, "Secretly manipulating the court push and impacting the yamen of the East Investigation Factory, is there anything bolder than this in the world?" ”

Duan Zhigang thought about it and said seriously: "There really isn't." ”

"Hey, hey!" Xu Liang chuckled and muttered, "In order to rescue Huang Daozhou, let's go crazy again." ”

Xu Liang got into the black carriage, Duan Zhi just got on the horse, escorted by more than 20 Tsing Yi guards, and quietly walked out of the Dongjiang Courtyard and drove in the direction of Zhengyangmen.

The carriage drove on Mixiang Street in Dongjiang, with a group of more than 20 people, except for the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, there was no other sound.

A person with a lantern walked over and passed by the carriage, this person looked at the carriage carefully, suddenly stopped, and shouted: "In the carriage is Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, Lord Xu?" (To be continued.) )
