Eighty-nine, sue the royal court

When Li Xian heard this, he said without hesitation: "Yes, Li Xian obeys the order." ”

Hearing his answer so categorically, Jian Huaizhen was very relieved, and then said: "If you want to deal with these people, you must personally go deep into the Longtan Tiger's Den, separate friends, and then grasp the evidence. ”

Hearing this, Li Xian smiled and said: "This matter is by no means difficult, Li Xian asks himself about everything, and he can make friends with people of the three sects and nine streams, although these gods and treacherous beetles are treacherous, but if they want to deal with them well, it is not difficult for Li Xian's face." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "It is precisely this words, if Lord Li Xian can do this, it will be a great thing for us and others. ”

Li Xian folded his hand and saluted: "That contemptible person will try to make friends with these people tomorrow." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "There is no need to rush this matter for a while, Lord Li Xian can burn the cold stove first, there is no need to be so anxious about these people to get in touch, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's command, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "What the eldest princess said is extremely true, these despicable villains are the most vicious and suspicious. After Li went back, he first obeyed the order of the eldest princess, and he didn't want to welcome him first, and now he was only slightly cold. ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "This is exactly what this princess meant, judging from the current situation, there is already a rift between these friends and new lovers, even if we don't have to make a move, these fox friends and dog friends will not last long, wait and watch first, and see what happens after Xu Youzhen comes back." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, follow the princess's orders." ”

Jian Huaizhen said: "Li Xian, if you want to deal with these three people, you must not leak a word, otherwise there will be murder, you know." ”

Li Xian responded: "Thank you for the teachings of the eldest princess, Li Xian understands." ”

"Okay, just understand." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

"Princess, what does the emperor think of these people?" Li Xian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen didn't know how to change his words, so he opened his mouth and said: "This matter is a long story, Lord Li also knows that the emperor has always cared about the old feelings, although these people are arrogant and arrogant, and have made a lot of ridiculous things, but the emperor remembered the merits of helping the emperor restore the throne when they launched the change to seize the door, and he can only pretend to be colored." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian's heart is insightful, although Jian Huaizhen's words are quite vague, not meaningful but very clear, that is, Zhu Qizhen, who is the son of heaven, still has some old feelings in the hearts of these people who launched the change of seizing the door back then, and the so-called can't erase the face, so although these traitorous ministers have bad deeds, the emperor has to turn a blind eye and listen to it. However, there is quite a situation, and I am afraid that I will not have any other opinions on these people. ”

After learning about Zhu Qizhen's attitude from Jian Huaizhen, Li Xian felt that things were really as promising as Jian Huaizhen said.

As long as the emperor is no longer on the side of these traitors, he will not feel constrained in doing things in the future, and there is a lot more room for manoeuvre.

Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "Princess, what should we do now?" ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he instructed: "Don't be impatient for now, wait and see what happens, Xu Youzhen's return to the dynasty will inevitably make big waves, and these traitors are only afraid that they will fight in the nest." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian nodded and said, "Li Xian understands. ”

Jian Huaizhen said to Li Xian: "Since you know about this, then please go back first, make preparations, and wait and see what happens." ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and smiled: "Thank you for the princess's teaching." ”

"Okay, Li Xian, you can go back first." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

"Yes, Li will retire first." Li Xian opened his mouth to speak.

Li Xian immediately said goodbye to Jian Huaizhen and returned alone.

After Li Xian left, Jian Huaizhen thought carefully about the current situation, and felt that the current situation was still a little obscure, and it was not easy to deal with Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen controlled the civilian official group, Shi Heng, who was born as a martial artist, controlled the power of using troops, and Cao Jixiang was in charge of the three major battalions of the governor in addition to the ceremonial supervisor, all of them were not so easy to deal with, and it was appropriate to start with that person.

Jian Huaizhen thought about it for a long time, but still had no idea, and didn't know who to break through this matter from.

"Yu Gong, you have a spirit in the sky, and I hope that this time you can appear and help." Jian Huaizhen secretly prayed.

In the dark, Jian Huaizhen felt that Yu Qian really didn't need to be anxious about what he said, it was not that he didn't report it, and the time had not yet come.

A few days later, Xu Youzhen returned to the dynasty to recuperate, and the cabinet was already under his control, so even though it was a period of recuperation, the cabinet affairs were also controlled by him alone. Therefore, everything in the court can't be hidden from Xu Youzhen, and Xu Youzhen knows everything about it.

The protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, Xu Youzhen is arrogant, and he feels that he is the biggest except for Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

After returning to Beijing, Xu Youzhen reverted to her old state, in addition to the previous dynasty, after the lower dynasty, she searched for flowers and willows all day long, and spoiled many girls.

Of course, the imperial historians dare not speak out, after all, Xu Youzhen is their top boss, and the emperor turns a blind eye to his deeds.

One day after the court, Xu Youzhen said goodbye to the house, looking out from the sedan chair with great interest, only to see two women walking together, the person who walked forward was extremely beautiful, and the person who followed by seemed to be a maid.

Xu Youzhen was extremely moved, so she ordered someone to stop the sedan chair, and then asked people to forcibly tie the beautiful woman and the maid back.

After returning home, Xu Youzhen went back to see that the woman was so ashamed and anxious that she actually fainted.

Xu Youzhen naturally didn't want to let go, so she forcibly defiled the body of this beautiful woman.

On the second day, Xu Youzhen still went to the court, and after coming back, the official family reported that the maid she caught yesterday didn't know how to get the woman away together.

Xu Youzhen couldn't help but be a little interested, but it was inconvenient to blame the housekeeper, so he opened his mouth and said: "That's it, just run away, and be careful in the future." ”

The butler answered.

said that this beautiful woman was the wife of Cao Jixiang's nephew Cao Tie.

On that day, I took a maid to go to the incense to make a vow, but I never thought that I would never return.

Cao Tie sent people to look around, but there was still no news.

I didn't expect the maid to come back suddenly with the lady with the shawl.

It's just that Mrs. Tie's face is pale, and the tears on her face are still there, Cao Tie is very surprised, and after welcoming into the inner room, Mrs. cried loudly.

Cao Tie was suspicious and asked from the side, and Mrs. swore not to say anything.

Cao Tie had no choice but to come out and ask the maid.

The maid naturally didn't dare to hide it, so she told the matter.

Hearing that it was the people of the Xu Mansion who sat down, Cao Tie was unconsciously angry, angry and hateful, but he knew in his heart that there was no way to confront Xu Youzhen according to his own forces.

But being cuckolded, such a thing is not something Cao Tie can bear, don't say that Cao Tie is a normal man, even those eunuchs who bought wives and concubines are unwilling to act like this.

felt that he couldn't fight Xu Youzhen's Cao Tie, so he was ruthless, so he went to see Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang wanted to take care of his family's children, and he still had a problem with protecting his shortcomings.

Therefore, when he saw Cao Tielai crying in front of him, he was furious at the moment.

"Xu Youzhen, if I hadn't been in it back then, where would he have his status today. This old guy was not grateful for the picture at all, but instead stirred things up on our heads, and broke ground on Tai Sui's head, could it be that Xu Youzhen thought that I, Cao someone, was really afraid of him. Cao Jixiang spoke.

Cao Tie howled and cried: "Uncle, you always have to be the master of the child." ”

Hearing Cao Tie's words, Cao Tie said helplessly: "Although Xu Youzhen is hateful, but the emperor can't do without him at the moment, if you want to avenge this arrow, I'm afraid that no one may be willing to help you." That's it, that's it, the old man will go to the emperor with a thick face to sue you for the royal complaint. ”

Cao Jixiang said this, and Cao Tie said with gratitude: "Thank you, uncle, this time the honor and disgrace of the family all depend on you." ”

Hearing Cao Tie's words, Cao Jixiang opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, rest assured, although Xu Youzhen is the first assistant of the cabinet, your uncle and I are also in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and I am in charge of the three major battalions. ”

Cao Tie saw that Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth like this, and Cao Tie understood that Cao Jixiang had already been on a par with Xu Youzhen, so he wiped a handful of tears and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

This anecdote soon reached Jian Huaizhen's ears, and Jian Huaizhen felt that the time had come.

Thinking like this, Jian Huaizhen quickly summoned Li Xian and informed him of the matter.

After listening to Jian Huaizhen's narration, Li Xian patted his thigh and said: "Dog eats dog, it seems that what the eldest princess said is very true, these treacherous beetles are all people who are not in place, and from the current situation, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang are pinched." But this is also Xu Youzhen's deserving, who called him an old disrespectful and misdemeanor, and someone deserved to sue him in front of the emperor. ”

When Li Xian said this, Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said: "The analysis of this matter is not bad at all, looking at the current situation, this is the situation." There is a feud between Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen, which is a good opportunity for you to stir up trouble. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian asked in surprise, "Where did the eldest princess say this?" ”

Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "This time the two tigers fight, there will be an injury." Li Xian, you can act in the middle, secretly sell well with both parties, break into the inside, and gain the trust of these two people, so that you can grasp the evidence of Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen's crimes. ”

As soon as Jian Huaizhen's words came out, Li Xian suddenly realized: "What the princess said is extremely true, judging from the current situation, these two people are fighting each other, which is an opportunity for us to wait." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "That's right, as long as these two people fight, it will be an extremely important opportunity for us, as long as we grasp this opportunity, we can grasp the guilt and criminal evidence of Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen in the future." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and replied: "What the eldest princess said is very reasonable. ”

Jian Huaizhen then instructed: "Since Lord Li Xian has no other opinions, please ask Lord Li Xian to act accordingly in this matter." ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "Li Xian understands, please rest assured that the eldest princess." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "Okay, Lord Li Xian is a person who Lord Yu Qian admired very much when he was alive, and he will definitely not make mistakes again, and this time there will be Lord Lao Li." ”

Li Xian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The eldest princess is really serious, counting it, it is the gift of the eldest princess that the contemptible person can be born beyond the pen and not become a soul under the sword." Moreover, everything he did this time was for Yu Qian and Lord, even if he died, Li Xian would not even frown his eyebrows.

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth very happily and said: "If Lord Yu Qian is alive, he will be extremely happy to see Lord Li Xian's righteous deed. ”

Li Xian then said: "Li Xian is determined to endure it and clear his grievances for Lord Yu Qian, who died unjustly. The eldest princess, Li Xian said goodbye. ”

Jian Huaizhen bowed his head and said: "Master Li should be careful in this trip, and cherish it. ”

"Li Province, the eldest princess, please rest assured." Li Xian spoke, and then said goodbye to Jian Huaizhen.

After learning from Jian Huaizhen that Cao Jixiang wanted to sue the emperor, he touched Xu Youzhen's door in the dark and asked to see him, saying that he wanted to see Xu Youzhen for Cao Jixiang's complaint.

Cao Jixiang wanted to complain, Xu Youzhen naturally learned about it from other channels, and he was a little bored in his heart.

After all, Cao Jixiang is not an ordinary person, if it is not good and annoys Cao Jixiang, I am afraid that it is not a good thing.

The celebrant is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and although he is the first assistant of the cabinet, the power in the palace is beyond the reach of the whip.

Hearing that someone at the door reported that Cao Jixiang had complained about it and asked to see him, Xu Youzhen ordered his subordinates to bring the doorman.

As soon as they met, they realized that it was Li Xian, an acquaintance of the court.

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and asked: "Why did Brother Li Xianxian come today, he didn't even throw in the door sticker, he called himself Buyi, aren't you afraid that the old man will let the old brother enter." ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "Lord Xu is serious, Lord Xu is the first assistant of the cabinet, just like the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he is courteous to hundreds of officials, Li Xian is just a sesame official, and he is not similar to a meritorious cloth in front of Lord Xu." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "What Brother Xian said is not bad, from the current situation, Brother Xian's actions must have a way, I don't know what Brother Xian wants to do." ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "What Lord Xu said is very true, this time the foolish brother came to find the adult, and there is an important matter that he wants to discuss with the adult. ”

Xu Youzhen pretended to speak profoundly: "If there is anything important, please ask Brother Li Xian to make it clear." ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "In the past few days, I heard that Gonggong Cao wants to be unfavorable to Lord Xu, and wants to sue Lord Xu in front of the emperor. I wonder if it's really true? ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said, "Where did Brother Li Xian find out about this news. ”

Li Xian smiled slightly and opened his mouth to say: "This matter has spread all over the city, but I am afraid that those people in the teahouse and wine shop in Jingshi have been discussing this matter for the past few days. ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "What Brother Li Xianxian said is not bad at all, it is true. ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "Li Xian has a strategy, which can make Cao Jixiang dispel the idea of suing the adult in front of the emperor, and today he took the liberty to ask for a meeting, and took the initiative to ask Ying as an adult's staff to offer a beautiful celery, I don't know if the adult is interested in listening." ”

Xu Youzhen was overjoyed, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Since the virtuous brother has a plan, he might as well tell him bluntly." ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Things are simple, as long as Li goes to Cao Jixiang's mansion as a lobbyist to analyze the pros and cons for him, it is enough for him to dispel the idea of suing Lord Xu in front of the emperor." ”

Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, I will bother Brother Li Xianxian to go to Caofu, and after the matter is completed, Lord Ben will have his own reward." ”

Li Xian took the opportunity to say: "That foolish brother thanked Lord Xu first. Leave. ”

When Xu Youzhen heard him say this, he personally opened the middle door to send him off.

After leaving the Xu Mansion, Li Xian rushed to Cao Jixiang's mansion.

Cao Jixiang happened to be at home, and when he heard Li Xian's visit, he was a little surprised, but the matter of the complaint had already been spread in the Jingshi, and Cao Jixiang, who was in turmoil at this time, was very concerned.

Thinking about it like this, Cao Jixiang asked people to bring Li Xian over to get close.

As soon as they met, the two took precautions for a while, and Li Xian went straight to the point to express his intentions: "Gonggong Cao, listen to the words of the Jingshi, the father-in-law wants to sue Lord Xu Youzhen in front of the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Cao Jixiang said in a hypocritical manner: "There is no such thing, I think it is a rumor told by the people of Jingshi." ”

"There is no wind and no waves, if there is no self, it is better not enough. If so, for the sake of the public, this case may not be sued. Li Xian said deliberately.

Hearing this, Cao Jixiang was aroused by his curiosity, and then he spoke: "Why can't this public announcement be." ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Father-in-law can know, the emperor will never care about such a trivial matter, now Xu Youzhengui is the first assistant, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, if they are enemies now, it is very unwise." ”

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, Cao Jixiang reminded him, he knew in his heart that he had been the hero of the change in the past few days, and his absurd behavior was not good, the emperor had already heard about it, but he laughed at it, if he really told Xu Youzhen for the matter of his nephew and daughter-in-law this time, I am afraid that it will be useless. If this move can't bring down Xu Youzhen, he will take on the deep hatred, and it will be too much to make. "Yes, yes, yes, the virtuous brother woke up the person in the dream with a word, it seems that this situation is really untouchable." Cao Jixiang couldn't help but sweat, deeply agreed, and greatly appreciated Li Xian.

"Grandpa Cao is really a master, just a little bit of it." Li Xian opened his mouth and said approvingly.

"Alas, it's the virtuous brother who reminded me in time." Cao Jixiang responded with great joy.

"Then Grandpa Cao won't sue." Li Xian asked with certainty.

Cao Jixiang smiled and said: "It's not that I don't tell you, the time has not come." ”
