Ninety-one, break into Longtan
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian said: "Lord Xu's plan is very clever, Cao Jixiang's straw bag plan never thought that Lord Xu would make this move." β
"Yes, Cao Jixiang is just a eunuch in the palace, although he is now a celebrity in front of the emperor and has made some contributions, but Cao Jixiang's style of selling officials and lords these days is really unaccustomed to the old man. It is not bad for a person to ascend to heaven, but there must be a spectrum of things, and I heard that the fox friends of the son of the wet nurse of the Cao family all relied on the relationship to mix up an official and a half-job, and played the autumn wind everywhere in the Beijing Division. There are also several of Cao Jixiang's own families who rely on power, sell official beards, and make a good court a chicken and dog, which has simply become a vegetable market. Xu Youzhen shook her head and sighed as she spoke.
Hearing this, Li Xianfang realized that Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang were not people on the same road.
Listening to Xu Youzhen's tone, it seemed that he still wanted to stretch his ambitions in the imperial court, but he never thought that Cao Jixiang, who had conspired with him to launch a change to seize the door, was not like this at all in his heart, Cao Jixiang was only thinking about making a little more money and getting more benefits for himself and his clansmen, as for things like the imperial court discipline, Cao Jixiang and the others didn't have it in their hearts at all.
After all, everything in the imperial court and even everything in the Ming Dynasty is decided by Zhu Qizhen, as long as Zhu Qizhen is done, things will be much easier. Cao Jixiang has already served Zhu Qizhen very thoughtfully, although Zhu Qizhen knew about it, he didn't explain it enough, which meant tacitly.
Now that Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang have a feud, it is a great opportunity.
Li Xian is determined to stir up trouble in the middle and let Xu Youzhen fight with Cao Jixiang well.
With this thought in his heart, Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu, there are many people who cling to Cao Jixiang, who is Lord Xu going to start with?" β
Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Don't be careful about this matter, brother, although there are many lackeys of Cao Jixiang, there are only a few worth beating." After waiting for a while, the old man secretly asked the imperial historians to give the emperor a few stamps and handle this matter well. β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian knew in his heart that Xu Youzhen just wanted to use someone else's hand to hit Cao Jixiang, and he retreated behind him, which was really an extremely clever method.
Li Xian knew that Xu Youzhen was scheming and quite a city government before, and now he heard Xu Youzhen's trick to frame and attack Cao Jixiang, and he became more and more vigilant about him in his heart.
Xu Youzhen is vicious and calm, and it is not easy to deal with such a character.
After having this thought in his heart, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Lord Xu's plan is very clever, according to the meaning of the foolish brother, this plan is really clever, and the palace eunuch who thought of Cao Jixiang would definitely not be able to think of such a clever plan, and he could not guard against this matter. β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen laughed and said: "What my brother said is not bad, judging from the current situation, Cao Jixiang's old puppet must not be able to guess that someone Xu wants him to look good." β
When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth and echoed: "What Lord Xu said is that where do the eunuchs in the palace know this, and when the time comes, I am afraid that these eunuchs will be blind." β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen laughed and said: "What my brother said is not bad at all, Cao Jixiang is just a servant of people, if it wasn't for Lord Ben who gave him that idea, where would he have such a scenery today." Cao Jixiang didn't know how to be grateful, and he also stayed in the palace obediently with the boundary of the well water and not violating the river water, but he had to develop his strength, and wanted to compete with Lord Ben in the court. β
Hearing this, Li Xian opened his mouth and echoed: "Needless to say, naturally Lord Xu is clever, in addition to serving the emperor, the eunuchs in the palace know what family and state affairs, Cao Jixiang has crossed the line, but he doesn't know how to restrain him, he should take this opportunity to teach him a good lesson." β
"My brother also thinks like this, well, Xu has a bottom on this matter, so let's fight with the eunuchs in the palace for a while, and see who is talking and counting in this Ming Dynasty." Xu Youzhen said viciously.
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly spoke: "In addition to the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, the first one next is naturally Lord Xu." Lord Xu is highly respected, and all the monarchs and ministers in the court are admired. β
Li Xian complimented him, Xu Youzhen was happy, and said to Li Xian: "If that's the case, why didn't the old man hear these words." β
Li Xian said: "Lord Xu naturally won't hear these words, the Lord is solemn, how dare others talk about the Lord like this." β
Xu Youzhen was praised again, and Xu Youzhen was naturally very happy.
Xu Youzhen has always been a great joy, and after being poured a few meals of rice soup by Li Xian one after another, his heart was itching and unbearable, and he felt that Li Xian in front of him was a lovely person.
With this thought in his heart, his good impression of Li Xian became stronger and stronger.
Then he said to Li Xian: "Li Xian, I have done Lord Ben a great favor this time, and I want Lord Ben to give you any reward, just ask." As long as I can do it, brother, I will definitely help fight for it. As long as the Holy One agrees, even if it is promoted to the third level, there is no problem. β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's promise, Li Xian hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Lord Xu for your support, Li Xian doesn't ask for anything at the moment, if he asks for something in the future, he will definitely come to the adult, and he will never let down the adult's deep friendship." β
When Xu Youzhen heard this, she smiled and said: "It seems that my brother's ambition is really not small, and he doesn't even care about upgrading to the third level at the moment." β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian also smiled and said: "Where, Lord Xu is really good at making fun of people, how can Li Xian dare to accept such kindness from such adults." β
When Xu Youzhen heard this, he asked: "Brother Li Xian doesn't even care about being promoted to the third level, so it seems that he has great ambitions, and I don't know what Brother Li Xian wants." Could it be that such a famous man still doesn't call the heart of a brother? β
Hearing what Xu Youzhen said, Li Xian groaned slightly, and then said: "The adult said that he was laughing, but in fact, this matter is by no means as the adult said. β
When Xu Youzhen heard this, he asked tightly: "If it weren't for that, what would happen?" β
Li Xian smiled slightly and said, "Right now, even if Li Xian can be promoted to three levels in a row, it is useless to be with the people of his family and country. It's better not to rise, and if you don't rise, you can avoid a lot of trouble. β
Xu Youzhen heard Li Xian's words, so she asked with some curiosity: "Brother Li is really too modest, and this kind of Liangfei is willing to give up in vain, which really makes the old man a little puzzled." β
Li Xian said with a smile: "It's really a great blessing to have a relationship with adults today, where do you dare to expect it." It's not a pretense by any means, it's just that the villain wants to come, and that's really what happened. β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen smiled and said, "I didn't expect my brother to really have such a mind, which is admirable." If the elder brother has any requirements in the future, he might as well come to my house and inform him, as long as Xu can help, he will definitely help. β
Xu Youzhen had this promise in his heart, and Li Xian was naturally extremely happy in his heart.
He was not happy to be able to become an official and knight, but he was happy to finally enter Xu Youzhen's circle and gain Xu Youzhen's trust.
After remembering Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu rewards the juniors like this, it is really a blessing for the court, and it is also a blessing for the family and the country, and I will ask Lord Xu to give more advice in the future." β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen was happy in her heart, so she opened her mouth and replied: "With Lord Ben here, my brother can rest assured, as long as my brother wants to move a nest in the future, you can come to my brother, and my brother will recommend you to the emperor, and let the court commission you to get a piece of money and ask for a reputation." β
Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "These things are not what I want, if I can help Lord Xu well now, it will be a great blessing for Li Xian." β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen laughed and said: "Brother Li and Master Ben are really in love, if there is something in the future, you must tell my brother, and I will definitely help you." β
Xu Youzhen said very affectionately, Li Xian understood Xu Youzhen's character, but he was unmoved in his heart, but he pretended to be extremely enthusiastic and said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu treats his little brother so kindly, Li Xian doesn't know how to reciprocate." β
Hearing this, Xu Youzhen smiled and said, "Brother Li, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this. Today, Brother Li went deep into the tiger's den in Longtan for his brother to confront Cao Jixiang, which made Cao Jixiang, the old horseman, let go of the idea of suing his brother in front of the emperor, which is a great thing for the elder brother, and the elder brother is understandable even if he does something for the elder brother. Don't be polite, brother. β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly said, "Li Xian thanks Master Xu here." β
Li Xian knew in his heart that if he blindly excused himself, it would not be a good thing to not appreciate it, and if Xu Youzhen doubted his true intentions, a good thing would also be messed up.
With such thoughts in his heart, Li Xian didn't want to waste this opportunity to break into Xu Youzhen's circle in vain, so he spoke to Xu Youzhen: "Judging from the current situation, that old guy Cao Jixiang is by no means the opponent of Lord Xu Youzhen. β
Hearing this, Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "My brother has such a statement, which shows that Cao Jixiang's old horseman is really nothing remarkable. Thinking that Cao Jixiang is just a eunuch in the palace, interfering in the government is already an unforgivable crime, and now he dares to jump out and go against Lord Ben, judging from the current situation, this old guy is really dizzy. β
Li Xian echoed and said: "What Lord Xu said is that if Cao Jixiang hadn't listened to the adult's strategy back then, where would he be today, but he didn't expect that he would want to give the adult a knife now, and this kind of thing of revenge is not something ordinary people can do." β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Cao Jixiang nodded and said, "That's not bad, Cao Jixiang is a dog who doesn't eat." If it hadn't been for listening to Lord Ben's words and launching a change to seize the door, where would there be Cao Jixiang today, but this old man came to sell him when he got cheap, and his hand was too far, and he didn't count if he crossed the line, but he also had to reach out to the court, and he had to compete with Lord Ben first, speaking of which, I don't know what to say. The old man has been up and down for so many years, and he has not been afraid of people at all. If Cao Jixiang wants to fight with the old man, then fight well, and the old man will find a few protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials to write a few chapters to impeach Cao Jixiang, and he will be able to make this old man disgraced. β
Li Xian clapped his hands and said: "Lord Xu is really far-sighted and wise, Cao Jixiang is by no means Lord Xu's opponent. β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xu Youzhen nodded slightly and said: "Come to think of it, Cao Jixiang is a eunuch, not even a person, although he is the first to catch it in the palace, but when he gets to the court, he still wants to catch it, then he really doesn't take the old man in his eyes, is it tolerable or unbearable, how can the old man sit idly by." β
"What the adults said is true, that's the way it is, Cao Jixiang, the old horseman, is really too presumptuous, so reckless, but with the help of the emperor's authority, the fox is just a fake tiger. In the palace, he may still be able to be powerful, but when it comes to the court, it is a matter of the people's misery and social affairs, where will there be room for these eunuchs in the palace to interfere. β
When Xu Youzhen heard this, he nodded at Li Xian and said, this matter is not bad at all, from the current situation, this is the case, those eunuchs in the palace do not understand the rules at all, Cao Jixiang is the leader of the eunuchs in the palace, even more so, these eunuchs have been by the emperor's side for a long time, and they have gained the trust of the emperor, so they are more and more arrogant and arrogant, and they have no king's law, which is really despicable. β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian echoed: "It's not bad at all, that's how it is." The more the court officials tolerate, the more lawless and unscrupulous these eunuchs will become. β
Hearing this, Xu Youzhen glanced at Li Xian and nodded deeply and said: "What Brother Li Xianxian said is not bad at all, people in my generation must not sit idly by, since the eunuchs in the palace are unwilling to keep to themselves, and they have to come out to meddle in the affairs of the court and temple, the old man cannot sit idly by, and must punish these restless eunuchs, so as not to let the power of these eunuchs grow and control the whole situation." β
When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Well, judging from the current situation, this is the case, these eunuchs must not be allowed to succeed, no matter how Lord Xu wants to deal with these eunuchs, the foolish brother will all support it, and only the horse will look forward."
Xu Youzhen smiled slightly and said: "Brother said this, brother, I am extremely happy, if this time I can bring down Cao Jixiang's old horseman, the court will be the world we are waiting for in the future, and my brother just wants to make a Shangshu dangdang." β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "Thank you Lord Xu for making it happen, if you can really do it in the future, it would be great." β
Li Xian's words naturally didn't want to arouse Xu Youzhen's suspicions, after all, for Xu Youzhen, as long as he stood with him now, he could gain his trust, so that even if he could break into Xu Youzhen's circle, Xu Youzhen would naturally not doubt it, and he would have a little more confidence in obtaining criminal evidence.
Xu Youzhen naturally didn't know what Li Xian thought in his heart, and he was naturally extremely satisfied with Li Xian's attitude.
"Brother Li Xian, there are more than 1,000 officials in the DPRK and China, but there are not many people who can be like this, brother, you are the first, speaking of which, it is really a big regret for Xu to not be able to make friends with his brother earlier." Xu Youzhen opened his mouth to Li Xian and said.
Hearing this, Li Xian hurriedly said: "Lord Xu is serious, where is the little brother so valuable, worthy of Lord Xu's attention." β
Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Brother doesn't have to be so humble, how can someone who looks at the old man be wrong." β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian said: "I have been so loved by Lord Xu, and my little brother empathizes, but I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it in the future." β
Li Xian said this, and Xu Youzhen said: "Brother doesn't have to be modest, you and I will talk about it here today, after the brother goes back, you can wait and see how the old man deals with Cao Jixiang's old horseman." β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian nodded and said: "That's okay, judging from the current situation, Cao Jixiang is afraid that he will not give up, so he will put it aside, and ask Lord Xu to guard against Cao Jixiang when dealing with Cao Jixiang, so as not to be bitten by the old gelding." β
Li Xian's words seemed to remind Xu Youzhen, and he groaned slightly and said: "My brother is really meticulous in looking at things, this is not bad at all, the old man wants to calculate the old man Cao Jixiang, maybe the old man Cao Jixiang will also calculate the old man, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be better to slow down, before the launch, the old man will naturally have news." β
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Since the lord knows this matter well, this matter is a matter of the lower officials, if Lord Xu has already planned, it seems that Cao Jixiang will not succeed even if he wants to frame the adult." β
"Yes, no matter how cunning Cao Jixiang's old fox is, he can't fight Lord Ben, so don't worry, brother." Xu Youzhen said to Li Xian.
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and asked: "It seems that this is the case now, since the adults have already had a strategy, then the lower officials will be relieved." β
"Okay, then the old brother will go back first, if there is something, Lord Ben will send someone to the house to invite." Xu Youzhen said with a smile.
Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Xian nodded, and then said goodbye to Xu Youzhen and turned to leave.
After returning to the mansion, Li Xian changed his clothes and came out of the back door to see Jian Huaizhen.
Because of the previous code, Li Xian also entered through the back door, and soon saw Jian Huaizhen.
"It seems that Master Li has already done something big this time." As soon as they met, Jian Huaizhen said this.
When Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to say what was on his mind with a light and clever sentence, and then opened his mouth to speak: "Not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this matter is indeed the case. β
Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "That's really to celebrate Lord Li's achievements." β
Li Xian hurriedly shook his hand and said: "The eldest princess, this can't be helped, how can Li Xian be virtuous, he can achieve a small feat today, and he will also be given by the princess, how dare he be greedy for the merit of the sky, and he should not be cheeky and say that the credit is his own." β
Jian Huaizhen heard Li Xian's words, and hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Lord Li doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what the situation is?" Can you come and listen to it? β
