Chapter 141: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
Shui Mi Tao frowned, and stopped talking, Yun Wei turned around and smiled, "Okay, let's go back to the General's Mansion first, I have my own sense of proportion in the affairs of the Cao family." ”
Cao Jiu is a hero, not a stupid person, she wants to subdue the Cao Gang, she can't be in a hurry, she has to come step by step. What's more, the Cao Gang is in chaos right now, and after Cao Jiu straightens it out for her, wouldn't it be more convenient to take down the Cao Gang in one fell swoop?
Right now, naturally, the things in the palace are more important.
At the gate of Cao's house, Cao Huanhuan looked at the direction where the carriage slowly left, his eyes were slightly gloomy, he stomped his feet, and turned back to the house.
"Big brother," she said with a dissatisfied face when she entered the room, "I don't understand, what are you still doing with that Liu Qing'er?" You don't know about hooking up with Liu Changrun's doggy official behind her back......"
"Huanhuan." Cao Jiu's faint eyes swept over, "Lord Liu is the commander of the river transport superintendent, and he is stuck in the life gate of our Cao Gang with one hand. You are so open-mouthed, you know how much trouble these words will cause to your brothers in the gang if they get out! ”
Cao Huanhuan was sullen, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Cao Jiu slowed down his tone at this time. "I know Liu Qing'er's affairs. But you have to know that she is not alone, behind her, there are still a large group of elders of the Cao Gang. What's more, I do owe her father a life! ”
With Liu Qing'er, a budding bird, those who hide behind her back and instigate her will be at ease...... Wait for him to clean up one by one when he heals!
"Big brother!" Cao Huanhuan didn't know what was going on, so he stomped his feet angrily.
"Alright, Huanhuan." Cao Jiu sighed, "You go and decoct the medicine for me." As he spoke, he handed the prescription in his hand that seemed to have a faint girl's breath to Cao Huanhuan, faintly reluctant.
Cao Huanhuan took the prescription and turned to leave, but missed the ripples that flashed under Cao Jiu's eyes.
There are many Cao Gang halls, and they have never been monolithic. It's just that in the past, he was ruthless, and even if there were different voices in the gang, he didn't dare to speak out in front of him.
But since the news of his cold poison spread, some people couldn't help but be ready to move.
Cao Jiu sneered.
Scold! Do those people think that they can fight against him with the support of the river transport governor behind them? They are afraid that they have forgotten how he got into the position of the leader of the gang in the first place.
Cao Jiu thought of Yunwei again.
This Yunda girl is really a wonderful person.
Perhaps, this time, with the help of the imperial court, it is just right to eradicate those dissidents in the gang!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be a very good partner to work with.
Cao Jiu lowered his eyes, and the cold light flashed under his eyes, all of which were cold.
……
When Yun Wei returned to the Great General's Mansion, Nan Shanping was already waiting for her in the study.
"Wei girl, everything is as you expected, the eldest princess of Ningyang really went to Cining Palace to cry, and His Majesty also asked me about those refugees, and after I left, I invited Gao Hai to meet me...... Now, the people of Dongchang are afraid that they have gone to Shilipo outside the city. When Nan Shanping said this, he looked at Yun Wei's eyes, which were very complicated.
This girl, this time, she has calculated both the emperor and the queen mother, and she is really too bold. This kind of calculating people's hearts is beyond even his reach.
Yun Wei just didn't see it, and bowed his head, "There is a righteous father." It's just that Shilipo now looks like Ansheng, but in the end thousands of private soldiers have gathered, in order to prevent people and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and they also bother their father-in-law to take care of them more. ”
"You don't have to worry about this. Since the father dared to drive those so-called refugees to Shilipo, he would naturally leave enough means to deal with it. It's just ......" Nan Shanping said here, frowning and looking at Yun Wei, wanting to speak again.
Yun smiled slightly, "My father-in-law has something to say, so I might as well speak up." ”
Nan Shanping sighed, "Wei girl, although my father has temporarily confined those refugees to Shilipo outside the city according to your wishes. However, you and I both know in our hearts that those so-called refugees are just private troops privately raised by the Liu family for His Royal Highness King Qi, and they have nothing to do with the grassland iron cavalry outside the gate. Now, you are far-fetched in this matter, and you are bluntly attached to the steppe tribes, Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to fool. ”
Today, Emperor Yun Zhou is quite sage, Gao Hai is a capable person, Nanshan Ping is worried, and he is afraid that Yun Wei has overcalculated, and the result will only be smart but will be mistaken by cleverness.
Yun smiled slightly. "The father-in-law can rest assured that since his daughter has made such plans, she will naturally make all arrangements. Come to think of it, now that Gao Gonggong should have gone to the imperial study, right? ”
Yun Wei guessed correctly at all.
At this moment, Gao Shen did arrive at the imperial study.
He sent the information collected by his subordinates to Emperor Yun Zhou without leaking, and although he muttered in his heart that the matter was too smooth, he didn't show anything on his face, and stood at the bottom of Emperor Yun Zhou with an expressionless face.
After Emperor Yun Zhou read the secret report sent by Dongchang, his expression became very subtle.
"Gao Shen, you say...... Someone saw with his own eyes that the chief steward of the eldest princess's mansion went to Shilipo and stayed for an hour? Emperor Yun Zhou asked, but from his voice, he couldn't hear the slightest bit of joy and anger.
As a monarch, he has always been moody and invisible. Gao Shen was already used to it, and when he heard the words, he only nodded and said yes, and he didn't want to say a word more than what he shouldn't say.
The face is expressionless and concise, which is the consistent style of his father-in-law Gao, the governor of the East Factory.
Emperor Yun Zhou did not doubt it, but put his mind on the secret report in his hand.
Why do the people of Ningyang appear in Shilipo?
Could it be that the person who colluded with the grassland tribes outside the gate was really her?
Emperor Yun Zhou's heart sank, and a cold light flashed under his eyes.
Although Gao Shen has always been silent, he has the ability to observe words and colors, and when he saw it, he wanted to speak and stopped: "Your Majesty, the old slave remembers that about three months ago, the steward personally led people to Mobei, saying that he wanted to find some good furs for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess......"
More than three months ago?
Emperor Yun Zhou suddenly sneered.
More than three months ago, it was already spring in April, and it was a good time for spring flowers to bloom in Beijing, so where do you still need good fur?
To fool me with such excuses, am I really a fool!
Gao Shen said expressionlessly: "The old slave also found out that in the past month or so, there have indeed been many caravans from Mobei entering the customs from Yanshan Pass, and the road guides of those caravans, after investigation, are all from the Eldest Princess'......s Mansion."
As a minion, he is only responsible for stating the facts, not for any reasoning.
But as the words have already been said, as long as the emperor is not a fool, he will naturally understand what is going on.
Emperor Yun Zhou's face really changed. "Where is Ningyang now?"
"Cining Palace." Gao Shen lowered his head, and something seemed to flash under his lowered eyes.
When Emperor Yun Zhou arrived at Cining Palace, the eldest princess of Ningyang was lying on the knees of the queen mother, crying aggrievedly.
“…… Queen Mother, you have to make decisions for your sons. After talking about what happened to her in the Donglin Hou Mansion, the eldest princess sobbed at the corners of her eyes while holding a handkerchief, and secretly looked at the queen mother's reaction with her spare eyes.
The queen mother was in a bad mood because she was cursed, but now she was crying by her daughter for a long time, and this mood was even worse, she only played with the tea lid in her hand with a calm face, and let the eldest princess of Ningyang cry for a long time, but she didn't even have half a word of comfort.
At this moment, the Queen Mother was full of thoughts on the curse of "Those who carry the bloodline of the Mu family must not die well", and her daughter's crying did not listen to half a word.
The eldest princess of Ningyang misunderstood the queen mother's expression, and only thought that the queen mother was also angry with Yun Wei's audacity, and added fuel and vinegar: "Queen Mother, that Yun Wei humiliated her daughter so much, it is clear that she doesn't take you and the imperial brother in her eyes." Isn't her move just using chicken feathers as an arrow, humiliating her daughter openly, but secretly losing your face......"
"Shut up!" The Queen Mother came back to her senses and dropped the teacup in her hand heavily, "Ningyang, don't talk nonsense, that is the Danshu iron coupon written by Emperor Taizu himself, even if the mourning family sees it, it must be polite and give three points." ”
The eldest princess of Ningyang knew that she had lost her words, and was about to open her mouth to make amends, but she heard someone snort coldly!
"Imperial sister, when the iron coupon of the Danshu written by the emperor's father's pen comes into your mouth, why did it become an inconsequential chicken feather? Since you are so disrespectful to your ancestors, are my words not even as good as chicken feathers in your eyes? ”
Emperor Yun Zhou raised his feet and approached, and the faint light of his eyes swept gently, and the eldest princess of Ningyang only felt that her breath was tight, and she wanted to explain, but she couldn't speak.
The atmosphere in the inner sanctum instantly became stagnant.
"The Emperor is here." It was the Queen Mother who opened her mouth to break such a stagnation, "Ning Yang has always been straightforward and fast-talking, so the emperor should not worry about her." ”
In the end, it is the daughter who is the rest of her pregnancy in October, no matter how angry she is, she will not really abandon it.
"The Queen Mother." The expression on Emperor Yun Zhou's face did not ease, and he only sneered: "You don't know, the chief steward of Ningyang Mansion went to Mobei Pass more than three months ago. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she thought of Mu Yue's words, and her heart suddenly tightened, and her eyes when she looked at her daughter were also a little cold.
Although the Queen Mother also loves this daughter, she cares more about her own life!
The eldest princess of Ningyang didn't know what the problem was at all, and only subconsciously asked, "What does the imperial brother mean by this?" The courtier's sister sent someone to Mobei, but it was just to go to the customs to buy some fur and mountain goods......"
"Really?" Emperor Yun Zhou interrupted with a sneer, "Ningyang, I also heard that the chief steward of your mansion went to Shilipo outside the city early this morning?" ”
Ten mile slope?
The eldest princess of Ningyang's face changed slightly, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
Others don't know what's going on with the ten-mile slope, but she knows it in her heart.
It's just that although she joined forces with the second king of Qi in private, she didn't send anyone to Shilipo......
"Brother Mingjian, the courtiers don't know ...... at all"
She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Emperor Yun Zhou sneered a few times, "Come on, bring it up!" ”
