After speaking, he glanced at Li Xian meaningfully.

Li Xian nodded and said, "Gonggong Cao is really smart, and I will ask Gonggong Cao to support my younger brother more in the future." ”

"That's for sure. Brother Xian is really a think tank, and he will also help Cao someone to come up with more ideas in the future. Cao Jixiang spoke.

"That's natural, as long as Gonggong Cao orders, Li dares to disobey his orders. Farewell, Father-in-law Cao, please rest in peace. Li Xian spoke.

"Okay, Brother Xian, go slowly." Cao Jixiang opened his mouth and said.

After leaving Cao's mansion, Li Xian rushed back to Xu Youzhen's mansion to report the good news, Xu Youzhen heard the report, knowing that the matter had been settled, he was overjoyed, and praised Li Xian endlessly.

"Thank you so much for your help this time, otherwise Cao Jixiang would really be difficult to deal with." Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said.

When Li Xian heard this, he smiled and said, "Lord Xu is polite, even if Li Xian doesn't make a move, Lord Xu can settle the matter." ”

After the two talked for a while, Xu Youzhen suddenly remembered something, so he asked Li Xian: "By the way, Xu heard that the elder brother wrote to Yu Mian three times, wanting the emperor to pardon him, and was almost beheaded by the emperor because of this. Fortunately, the emperor had better change his mind and keep people under the knife, so that the virtuous brother could survive, why did the virtuous brother do this? ”

Seeing Xu Youzhen's question, Li Xian chuckled in his heart, and then covered up: "Actually, it's nothing, at that time, some people in the rivers and lakes made trouble to save Yu Guan, and Li Mou wrote a book to leave a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty, in order to shock the world directly, but he accidentally went too far, annoyed the emperor, and almost cut it off, Lord Xu don't mention it, treat it as a joke." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen is also a person who sells his reputation and reputation, so he naturally deduced it, so he believed what Li Xian said, and eliminated his vigilance against Li Xian in his heart.

"Well, what Master Li said is not bad, people in my generation, if they can leave a name for eternity, it is a great blessing in life, and it is also a way for my brother to want such a thing to shock the world directly. If only the old man would have done the same thing ten years ago. Xu Youzhen said with a smile.

Li Xian pretended to be surprised and asked Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu will also do this, Li is really flattered when he hears it." ”

In this way, the two of them laughed.

Xu Youzhen was originally an opportunist, as can be seen from the incident that instigated Zhu Qizhen to launch a change to seize the door.

Therefore, I felt that Li Xian had this answer, and I felt that this person was quite suitable for the eyes, so I opened my mouth and said: "Brother Li is very strategic, I didn't expect that as soon as the elder brother came out, he would be able to eliminate Cao Jixiang's desire to ask the emperor to come to the emperor to make a royal warrant, so it saved a lot of hands and feet for this lord." I really want to thank Master Li Xian this time. ”

Li Xian heard Xu Youzhen's praise and hurriedly spoke: "Lord Xu doesn't have to be like this, this time His Majesty can build this achievement, and it is not a blessing to drag Lord Xu." If it weren't for Lord Xu's shadow, Li Xian might have to go back to his hometown to sell sweet potatoes a long time ago. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen laughed and said: "Brother Li is a wonderful person, and he has to make this great contribution to others, well, he is very fond of the old man's temperament, in the future, if Lord Li wants to see the old man, as long as he shows his name on the door, the house slaves of the Xu Mansion will never stop him." ”

Xu Youzhen said this, and Li Xian pretended to be flattered and saluted Xu Youzhen again and again: "How does this make Lord Xu's court, how dare Li Xian be presumptuous." ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen said pretentiously: "How can I not do it, although Brother Li and Xu are not good friends, but this time Brother Li stepped forward at a time of crisis, turned the tide, and prevented such a catastrophe for Lord Ben, which is very gracious, which shows the sincerity of Brother Li's love for me." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth to Xu Youzhen and said, "Lord Xu said this, Li has no choice at all. Lord Xu really loves his little brother too much. ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "Brother Li, Brother Li, if you say that, wouldn't you look down on the old man." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's slightly complaining tone, Li Xian hurriedly said: "Lord Xu must not say this, Li is extremely sincere to Lord Xu in his heart, which can be seen by the sun and the moon." ”

Li Xian said this, and Xu Youzhen's face piled up a smile and said: "The old man just said casually, Brother Li must not take it to heart." In the future, if Li Xian's brother has anything difficult, he can come to the old man, and if the old man can do a little bit, he will help. ”

Li Xian heard Xu Youzhen say such a statement, and the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, and only then did he salute Xu Youzhen and said, "In the future, I will be affectionate and Lord Xu will help you to fulfill it." ”

Xu Youzhen opened her mouth and said to Li Xian: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, if there is anything that the old man can do in the future, as long as Brother Li says hello, this master will definitely do it for Brother Li." ”

"Then Li Xian will thank Lord Xu first." Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen.

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen grinned, and then said to Li Xian: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, since Brother Li respects the old man so much, the old man will naturally not treat the old brother badly, as long as Brother Li stands in the same place with Master Ben in the future, things will be extremely easy to do." In the future, as long as the old man can still speak in the court, he will definitely not forget Brother Li's achievements today, and he will definitely find a place for his brother to live in peace. ”

These words have been said extremely explicitly, and it is clear that some officials have made a wish.

However, for Li Xian, hearing Xu Youzhen's words in his ears, he was extremely happy in his heart.

Xu Youzhen said this to herself, which means that Xu Youzhen no longer sees herself as an outsider.

This also shows that for Xu Youzhen's sake today, he personally went to Cao's mansion to find Cao Jixiang and persuaded Cao Jixiang to do the right thing.

helped Xu Youzhen eliminate a catastrophe, and won Xu Youzhen to treat herself as her own person.

Li Xian knew very well in his heart that as long as Xu Youzhen treated herself as her own, her precautions would be much lax.

also shows that Xu Youzhen welcomes herself into his circle.

After having such an idea in his heart, Li Xian felt that he had to go one step further and let Xu Youzhen put his heart into himself, so he said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, according to the current situation, although Cao Jixiang promised not to sue the emperor in front of him, but judging from Cao Jixiang's tone, it seems that he still wants to compete with Lord Xu in the court. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words about this, Xu Youzhen's heart sank slightly, and she knew in her heart that Li Xian was able to say these words to herself, obviously she was sincerely taking refuge in herself.

Xu Youzhen stared at Li Xian with considerable attention, and then asked rhetorically: "Brother Li Xian, is what you said reliable just now, does that old puppet Cao Jixiang really mean this?" ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's question, Li Xian knew that Xu Youzhen had fallen into the trap set by himself, so he muttered unhurriedly and said: "Although Cao Jixiang is clear to me, but according to this situation, it seems that things are almost the same, the Cao family is quite powerful, not to mention that Cao Jixiang is still a big celebrity in front of the emperor, although the situation is pressed, but Li Xian feels that Cao Jixiang will never give up, and please pay more attention to this matter." ”

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, Xu Youzhen chuckled in her heart.

Xu Youzhen didn't expect that the allies who had been close together in the past and launched a shocking change to seize the door would actually turn the spearhead at him.

Xu Youzhen is not enough to be regarded as a veteran in the court, and he also understands in his heart that the affairs of the court have always been turbulent, and the opponents of the past may become friends, and yesterday's allies will become the most terrible enemies as soon as they turn around.

"Cao Jixiangguo really has this intention?" Xu Youzhen asked at Li Xian.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's question, Li Xian nodded quickly and said: "Li doesn't know about this matter, but according to Li's inference, Cao Jixiang will definitely not give up, so please pay attention to this movement." ”

"Brother Li, rest assured, Cao Jixiang is a celebrity in front of the emperor, but Lord Ben is also the head of the cabinet, speaking of which, the emperor has a lot of things to rely on Lord Ben to handle, Cao Jixiang wants to fight with the old man, hehe. By the way, if Cao Jixiang and the old man are really entangled and fighting, which of the two of us does Brother Li think will be out? ”

Hearing this, Li Xian hurriedly said: "Lord Xu is highly respected, and the civil and military officials in the court will naturally support him. ”

"Yes, that's right, that's exactly what I said." Xu Youzhen said with great admiration.

After speaking, Xu Youzhen stood up from the Taishi chair, walked around the room a few times, and then opened his mouth and said: "Judging from the current situation, this is the case, if Cao Jixiang really wants to fight with the old man, the old man is really like fighting with this person." It's just that I don't know how the eunuchs in this palace fight with this lord, if Cao Jixiang comes out of the palace to find help from the officials in the court, it will be very simple, so he gave the old man a chance to sue the old man in front of the emperor, so that Cao Jixiang, the old fox, can't eat and walk around. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian said: "What Lord Xu said is very true, Cao Jixiang is just a eunuch in the palace, although he is quite powerful in the palace, but when he goes to the temple, where is Lord Xu's opponent, this time Cao Jixiang wants to fight with the adult, it is really ridiculous." ”

Xu Youzhen nodded and said: "What Brother Li said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this is the case, Cao Jixiang wants to stir up trouble in the court, but I am afraid that he has come to the wrong place." As Brother Li Xianxian said, Cao Jixiang is just a eunuch, and no matter how powerful a eunuch is, he is just a servant around the emperor, and there is no way to compare with me and other civil officials born in Kejia. It's not a good thing to compare yourself to these blinding minions. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian said: "What Lord Xu said is not bad at all, this is the case, judging from the current situation, Cao Jixiang is really too blind, and he actually dares to come forward to fight with Lord Xu." Judging from the current situation, Cao Jixiang must not be an opponent of adults. ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and smiled: "Inherit the good words of my brother, things are so good, Cao Jixiang, the old fox, I have also dealt with a few times, this person is stubborn and self-serving, his eyes are above the top, but he is lucky to be the master of ceremonies, and he dares to compete with this pavilion, I don't know how many catties and taels I have." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian said: "Lord Xu is not bad at all, in fact, these eunuchs are all vain, and in their hearts, except for the emperor, probably other officials can't look down on it, Cao Jixiang wants to compete with Lord Xu this time, and he simply doesn't know what to say." ”

"Okay, good, well said, these eunuchs are really as Brother Li said, they don't know what the so-called fools, this pavilion wants to see what kind of tricks Cao Jixiang will come up with." Xu Youzhen said with a smile.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Things are not bad at all, but Lord Xu doesn't seem to be able to compete with these arrogant eunuchs in the palace for a while. ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "Yes, that's right, from the current situation, it seems that things are exactly like this." These eunuchs in the palace relied on the power of the emperor, and they were arrogant and domineering, thinking that everyone in the world except for the emperor was a person who could be bullied at will. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's indignant expression, Li Xian opened his mouth and echoed: "What Lord Xu said is really not bad at all, these eunuchs in the palace are too unruly, I think Cao Jixiang is just a eunuch in the palace, since he was favored in front of the emperor, he is flying Huang Tengda, and one person has achieved the Taoist chicken and dog soaring, look at Cao Jixiang's family, those who give crooked melons and cracked dates should be rampant and domineering in Beijing for this relationship." ”

Seeing that the more Li Xian spoke, the more angry he became, Xu Youzhen thought in his heart that Li Xian must be following him, so he nodded and said to Li Xian: "What Brother Li said is very true, although we may not be able to benefit one party as an official, but we must not allow traitors to run rampant. What's more, there are such villains around the king of all vehicles, and we, as courtiers, should draw a three-foot sword and take the side of the king as our own responsibility. ”

Li Xian heard Xu Youzhen's performance, and secretly said in his heart, you Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang are just dog-eat-dog, but they brought out such a high-sounding "Qingjun side" big hat.

However, although Li Xian had such a slander in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off in his mouth, so he spoke to Xu Youzhen: "What Lord Xu said is not bad, these eunuchs are too unreasonable, and it is really the season of the Qing monarch." ”

Hearing Li Xian's expression of support, Xu Youzhen was very happy.

As soon as she was happy in her heart, Xu Youzhen revealed a secret to Li Xian and said: "Brother Li, wait and see, I made a lot of friends with court officials in the early years, and there are many of them who can hand over a chapter to the emperor and write a book. ”

When Li Xian heard this, his heart moved, and he opened his mouth to Xu Youzhen and asked, "I heard that the adults mean to prepare to impeach Cao Jixiang." ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen shook his head and said, "It's still too early to deal with Cao Jixiang now." ”

As soon as Xu Youzhen's words came out, Li Xian heard this and asked: "If Lord Xu is unwilling to impeach Cao Jixiang, what is the use of instigating civil officials who listen to rumors?" ”

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Cao Jixiang has a set of things to serve the emperor, but those are all things in the palace, and the Ming Dynasty is not the eunuch in the palace, and I wait for the court officials to be the mainstay of the court, Cao Jixiang wants to clamp down on the entire court civil officials, but I am afraid that it will be miserable to die." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian felt a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Cao Jixiang to have such intentions, and he didn't expect Xu Youzhen to tie up all the civil officials of the imperial court to himself.

In addition to this matter, Li Xian wants to know what Xu Youzhen wants to do, which is not a difficult thing for Xu Youzhen, but for Li Xian, it is a big thing.

Li Xian remembered that Jian Huaizhen once said to him: "The more heroes are, the more able they can endure, as long as forbearance will be beneficial, then you might as well endure and keep silent." ”

From this moment on, Li Xianfang really understood the intention of Jian Huaizhen to say this to him.

At present, Li Xian has only one purpose, which is to break into the circle of Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others, and grasp the evidence of these traitors who killed Lord Yu Qian, so as to leave these evidence to the world in the future, and clear the blood and grievances of Lord Yu Qian.

Li Xian only had this thought in his heart, although other things were complicated, but in Li Xian's mind, there was no more meaningful or worthy of Li Xian's efforts to rehabilitate Yu Qian and adults.

"Lord Xu, how do you say this, Lord Fei has come up with a way to deal with it." Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen.

"Well, there is naturally no way to deal with it, it is not enough to deal with Cao Jixiang first, first remove his wings, and then dispose of Cao Jixiang and the palace for too long." Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said.

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xianfang understood the truth of Xu Youzhen's mouth, this set of methods is just a kind of melon vine copying, but from the current situation, it is the most direct method.

"What Lord Xu said is not bad at all, it is best to act like this." Li Xian opened his mouth to speak.

Xu Youzhen nodded and said, "My brother also thinks the same way, so it means that this plan is feasible." ”

Li Xian didn't expect Xu Youzhen to say such words in one mouth, and he knew in his heart that Xu Youzhen could say such things to himself, and he already regarded himself as his own person.

Since Xu Youzhen has such an opinion, it is a good thing for Li Xian.

After all, it was a big step closer to Jian Huaizhen asking him to break into Xu Youzhen's small circle.

"How is Lord Xu going to do it?" Li Xian asked.

Hearing Li Xian's question, Xu Youzhen spoke: "If you want to hit Cao Jixiang, it's not a matter of directly starting from Cao Jixiang right now, if you want to move him, you have to wait for the junior to start first." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xian had a thought in his heart, feeling that the Xu Youzhen in front of him was really cunning, and it was not a fluke that he was able to initiate a change to seize the door and ascend to the sky in one step.

Judging from the current situation, although Xu Youzhen did not tear his face and fight with Cao Jixiang, he used such a trick behind his back.

Everyone else captures the thief and captures the king first, but Xu Youzhen tepidly found someone to attack Cao Jixiang's wings first, which is really a good plan.

With such a thought in his heart, Li Xian felt that Xu Youzhen was indeed a character, and he was by no means an easy person to deal with, and he had to be more careful when dealing with Xu Youzhen in the future, in case Xu Youzhen was calculating.

"Lord Xu means to start with the people around Cao Jixiang first, and ignore Cao Jixiang first." Li Xian asked Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "That's right, judging from the current situation, this is the only way to avoid Cao Jixiang being suspicious." ”
