In the camp of the Zhenbei Army, Xiao Qing said, "Cao Zhengchun really wants to control the military power, but he is only to enhance his own power, not to rebel, if he is a eunuch who dares to rebel, then the East Factory and the West Factory under him will definitely abandon him, after all, following a eunuch to rebel, a fool will do this kind of thing."

And if he wants to control the military power, the first thing he has to deal with is Lord Yang, after all, only the half of the talisman in Lord Yang's hand is the easiest to get, but Lord Yang did not promise him.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun intercepted the supply of cotton clothes given to us by Lord Yang Yuxuan, and then forced Lord Yang to hand over the military talisman, otherwise we may not have any more cotton clothes this year.

And I heard Lord Yang Yuxuan play a trick for this, but I don't know if the emperor can see it? I'm afraid that Cao Zhengchun will stop the excerpt, and then Lord Yang Yuxuan will be in danger. ”

Hearing what Xiao Qing said, everyone was silent, their faces were much uglier, but they were helpless, after all, now the court is a eunuch in charge, Cao Zhengchun covers it with one hand, and they are far away at the border, even if they have ideas, what can they do?

Just when everyone wanted something, a herald ran over and reported, "General Qiyu, news has just come from Kyoto, Cao Zhengchun sent three thousand black-clothed arrow teams from Dongchang to Shangshu Mansion to besiege and kill Lord Yang's family, but Lord Yang escaped with his family and is currently being chased by the black-clothed arrow team. ”

"What are you? Cao Zhengchun: Is he crazy? dared to kill important ministers of the court privately under the eyes of the emperor. A general yelled excitedly.

The adjutant general next to him asked Xiao Qing, "General, now that Lord Yang is fierce and unlucky, what should we do?" ”

Xiao Qing thought for a while, and said helplessly, "Wait, didn't the emperor order the town king to investigate Lord Yang?" They will definitely come to the border to take a tang, and when the time comes, we will report everything Cao Zhengchun has done to the prince, I think the prince will not let Cao Zhengchun do anything wrong. ”

The lieutenant general asked suspiciously, "But I heard that the king of the town is only a precedent, how can he deal with Cao Zhengchun, who controls the east and west factories?" ”

"The prince can't, but he can tell the emperor about this matter, and then the emperor will ask Cao Zhengchun for the crime, and the king of Zhen is the uncle of the current emperor, I don't think Cao Zhengchun is so bold as to dare to do anything to him, okay, you all go down, pay more attention to the news in Kyoto, and then send Ran to guard around, as long as you find the prince and his party, take them here immediately." Xiao Qing explained.

"Got it, the general rest assured."

…………

After a while, the news of Yang Yuxuan's death was still unknown to the Zhenbei army, and Xiao Qing, the general of Zhenbei, was still waiting for the arrival of the king of Zhen, expecting him to administer justice to Yang Yuxuan.

After all, in his opinion, Cao Zhengchun dealt with Yang Yuxuan for half of the talisman in his hand, as long as the people in Dongchang did not get the talisman, Cao Zhengchun should not kill Yang Yuxuan.

At noon, a team of spies from the Zhenbei Army took Zhu to the camp of the Zhenbei Army, Xiao Qing also saw this town king who was known to the Ming Dynasty to do nothing, if he didn't have the title of town king given by the emperor, I'm afraid no one knew him.

However, he is also a prince, and Xiao Qing did not slack off in the number of courtesies he should have, and bowed to Zhu Wuzhi and said, "Chen Zhenbei, General Xiao Qing, see the prince, please take a seat." ”

"Well, General Xiao doesn't have to be polite, get up." Zhu ignored the main seat and sat down, and behind him stood Yuan Zhongyu and Chen Huaxin, as well as the undefeated three people in the East who had returned.

"General Xiao, this king is here, and I have something to tell you, Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the military department, was killed by the black-clothed arrow team of Dongchang yesterday, including Yang Yuxuan's family and those guards."

After hearing the news, Xiao Qing and the generals behind him suddenly said angrily, "Lord Wang, how is this possible? Could it be that Cao Zhengchun found the talisman in Lord Yang's hand? ”

Zhu ignored and shook his head and said, "No, after Yang Yuxuan was killed, the people of Dongchang searched it, but they did not find the talisman of the 500,000 army on him. ”

A staff officer next to him asked suspiciously, "In that case, why did Cao Zhengchun kill Lord Yang?" He doesn't want the talisman anymore? ”

"Hmph, that's because the emperor ordered this king and the Six Doors Shenhou Mansion to investigate Yang Yuxuan, Cao Zhengchun couldn't sit still, so he had to make this decision, General Xiao, do you know why your cotton clothes haven't arrived?"

Xiao Qing nodded, "I know!" was intercepted by Cao Zhengchun, and it was because of this incident that Yang Daren went to Cao Zhengchun in the East Factory, but he didn't want Yang to give his life for this. ”

"Xiao Qing, what do you have to do with Cao Zhengchun?" Yuan Zhongyu suddenly spoke.

"I and Lord Cao are ...... Who are you? Why do you ask? Xiao Qing suddenly reacted before he finished speaking, and quickly shut up.

At this time, Zhu ignored and said, "What's wrong?" Or this king will come for you, you are Cao Zhengchun's person who was placed in the Zhenbei army, this is more than 20 years ago, and then with Cao Zhengchun's help, you have repeatedly made military exploits, five years ago Yang Yuxuan recommended to the emperor that you be the general of Zhenbei, this time Cao Zhengchun can grasp Yang Yuxuan's twists and turns so clearly, you should have made a lot of efforts, right? ”

Looking at Xiao Qing, who had nothing to say, the faces of the generals behind him changed and changed, and finally one of the generals couldn't help but step forward and grab Xiao Qing's armor and asked, "Xiao Qing, is the prince's is true?" If it weren't for Lord Yang's hand, you wouldn't have been able to sit on the position of General Zhenbei at all, and in the end you would have been Cao Zhengchun's person from Dongchang. ”

Xiao Qingyang, who knew that he couldn't hide it, laughed loudly, and said disapprovingly, "I'm a person who knows the times as a junjie, and Yang Yuxuan provoked Lord Cao, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and killing himself." Yang Yuxuan's entire family has been besieged and killed by the black-clothed arrow team, and none of them have been spared.

Now that Yang Yuxuan's general trend is gone, if you want to live well, you still have to be loyal to Lord Cao! Otherwise, he will only follow in the footsteps of Yang Yuxuan, and there will be no life or death! ”

"Xiao Qing, do you dare to be so arrogant in front of the prince, aren't you afraid of being known by the emperor?" Listening to Xiao Qing's wild words, the people behind him were furious, and their faces turned blue with anger.

"Hello, the prince is just a precursor, what threat can there be to me, as long as I hand him over to Lord Cao at that time, Lord Cao will solve all the troubles." Xiao Qing sneered.

"Also, Lord Cao has an order, in the future, if Yang Yuxuan dies, this 500,000 army will be under my full control. As long as the brothers follow me well, they will all eat and drink spicy food in the future, and the future is immeasurable, otherwise, my 50,000 subordinates outside will not let you go easily, I think the emperor will not care about the death of a few generals in this northwest border, right? ”
