Hearing that Li Xian and Wang Gaoqi were so ordinary, Shi Heng was a little surprised in his heart, but the etiquette was still required.

Therefore, Shi Heng stepped forward to help up the two people kneeling in front of him, and then said: "Lord Wang, Lord Li, you are here when you come, why bother to give such a set of gifts to this official, how can this official bear it, please get up quickly." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Li Xian spoke: "Lord Shi doesn't blame Li Xian for wanton harassment, it is Li Xian's great blessing, what is it to kowtow to Lord Shi." ”

Wang Gao, the head of the household, also echoed and said: "What Lord Li said is very true, and it is natural for the lower officials to pay homage to Lord Shi with official uniforms this time. Lord Shi doesn't have to be polite, if he doesn't accept it, the lower officials don't know what to do. ”

Hearing the words of the two people in front of him, Shi Heng, who was quite overjoyed, was overjoyed, so he spoke to Li Xian and Wang Gao, the head of the household: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, since the two adults are all talking, then Shi Heng is also disrespectful and deserved, standing and receiving a salute from the two, the two of them can get up." ”

Wang Gao and Li Xian, the head of the household, exchanged words to each other, and got up from the ground.

"Lord Wang has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I don't know what to do in public service." Shi Heng was a little suspicious of the intention of Wang Gao, the head of the household, so he asked tentatively.

Li Xian saw that Shi Heng had such a remark, so he opened his mouth and said: "Lord Shi, here's the thing, Li Xian heard from the lord in the house yesterday that he wanted Li Xian to take over the post of the head of the household department, but Li Xiancai Gu Pingping how can he be able to take this position, so he went to the head of the household department to talk to Lord Wang about this matter, only to find out that Lord Wang is well aware of the situation of the provinces in the world, and the post of head of the household department is none other than Lord Wang. And Lord Wang also admires Lord Shi's military exploits and political achievements, so he agreed to come to the mansion together today to discuss his views on the current situation with Lord Shi Heng. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he felt a little inexplicable in his heart, and he didn't know what Li Xian meant, so he said with a haha: "Shi Heng is a military attaché and is quite familiar with the affairs of the war, as for the view of the current situation, Shi believes that he is not talented, whether the two of them are looking for the wrong person."

With Li Xian's foreshadowing in front of him, Wang Gao, the head of the household department, heard Shi Heng's words, so he opened his mouth and explained his intention to Shi Heng: "Lord Shi, this is the way things are. Lord Shi was supposed to think about the time at home, Xu Youzhen wantonly arranged old friends in the court, the party was the same and different, and it was about to force people like Xia Guan to have no place to stand, Xia Guan came here to want the adult to come back, raise his arms and expelle Xu Youzhen, in order to revitalize the dynasty. ”

Shi Heng heard that Wang Gao, the head of the household, expressed his heart, and knew in his heart that this person was willing to belong to him, so he was naturally extremely happy, so he opened his mouth to him and said: "What Lord Wang said is not bad at all, Xu Youzhen has been too lawless these days, and it is not enough for the emperor to obey him now, and we have to avoid the edge for the time being." ”

Li Xian heard Shi Heng's words, so he said: "The lower official has discussed with Lord Wang, if you want to deal with Xu Youzhen, the only way at the moment is to bring out a person equivalent to Xu Youzhen's official lordship, and look around the court, only Lord Shi alone has the prestige to empower everyone, and Lord Shi is expected to take on such a heavy responsibility." ”

When Shi Heng heard him say this, he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Li, how dare Shi dare to say such beautiful words." ”

Lord Hubu Shangshu Wang was naturally extremely shrewd, so he spoke to Shi Heng: "No, no, no, Lord Shi, the views of the lower officials are the same as that of Lord Li, and the only person in the court who can compete with Xu Youzhen's old horseman is none other than Lord Shi." ”

Shi Heng heard these two words like this, and his heart was naturally extremely happy, but his face was still a little silent and said: "The two adults are so affectionate, Shi Heng empathizes, but the two adults also know that Xu Youzhen slandered the emperor the last time, and the old man had to think about it at home, even if the old man wants to fight against Xu Youzhen, now is not the time." ”

Li Xian said: "What Lord Shi said is very true, from the current situation, this matter is like this, but now I want to compete with Xu Youzhen, but I can't convince the public if Lord Shi comes forward to raise his arms, and I also ask Lord Shi to do whatever it takes for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and the emperor." ”

Li Xian's words were sincere, and he secretly patted Shi Heng's ass without a trace, Shi Heng was naturally very happy in his heart, after all, from Li Xian's mouth, it can be seen that some officials in the court are also dissatisfied with Xu Youzhen and want to attach themselves to themselves.

"Since Lord Li and Lord Wang are saying this, Shi is reluctant to make it difficult, but the two of you must keep your mouth shut, and you must not leak this matter." Shi Heng was quite hesitant and admonished Li Xian and the others.

When Hubu Shangshu and Li Xian heard Shi Heng's words, they understood in their hearts that Shi Heng had already been moved and agreed to the matter.

That is the case, which means that Shi Heng already treats the two as confidants.

Seeing this situation, Li Xian stepped forward and made a request to Shi Heng very secretly: "Lord Shi, Lord Wang is diligent and diligent in the position of the head of the household department, and has been cultivating for many years, this time Xu Youzhen wants to move the position of Lord Wang, and also asks Lord Shi to kick Lord Wang in front of the emperor to say a word, so as to keep this position for Lord Wang, and deal with Shi Heng in the future, Lord Wang will naturally not be unwilling." ”

When Shi Heng saw Li Xian open his mouth to say such words, his eyes were suddenly exposed, and he only shot in front of Li Xian, as if he wanted to penetrate the internal reason for Li Xian's statement.

Seeing Shi Heng's move, Li Xian was unmoved, and still maintained an extremely reserved smile.

After Shi Heng stared at Li Xian for a while, he suddenly changed his face and said with a smile on Li Xian: "What Lord Li said is quite good, Xu Youzhen is now forming a party in the DPRK and the Central Committee for personal gain, and the party is the same and fighting against each other, and he actually wants to bring down Lord Shangshu Wang of the Household Department, this matter is quite annoying and hateful." Lord Li, Lord Wang, you two rest assured, as long as Shi Heng is still in the court, he will never make a fool of Xu Youzhen in the court. ”

When Hubu Shangshu heard Li Xian's words, his hanging heart was relieved, and he knew in his heart that through Li Xian's exhortation, Shi Heng had already let go of the idea of giving his position to others, and Shi Heng made a promise to himself at the same time, he also had to make a guarantee to support Shi Heng.

Knowing this matter in his heart, Hubu Shangshu stretched his sleeves, and then bowed down to Shi Heng and said: "Lord Shi, if this matter is not supported by Lord Shi, Xiao Ke is only afraid that this humble official position will not be able to be kept. Please accept the bow of Lord Shi. ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed respectfully to Shi Heng.

Seeing that he had taken such a move, Shi Heng hurriedly spoke to him: "Lord Wang, there is no need to be like this, you and I are officials in the same court, and the rank is also comparable, if this matter is known to others, what will Shi Heng face in the future to face his colleagues in the court, Lord Wang, please get up and speak quickly." ”

Although Shi Heng said this in his mouth, but his body did not move at all, and he had no intention of stepping forward to help him, Lord Wang naturally understood what Shi Heng meant, and kowtowed to Shi Heng before he stood up from the ground.

After standing up, he spoke to Shi Heng: "Lord Shi, judging from the current situation, it is already an eventful time in the DPRK, and at the moment Xu Youzhen's power is extremely large, and I and other officials will be subjected to Xu Youzhen's opposition, and I also ask Lord Shi Heng to come forward earlier, lest the officials in the court and the central government can't stand Xu Youzhen's pressure and all belong to Xu Youzhen's faction, and at that time, it will be a little difficult to change the situation." Xiaguan's contrary advice, please also ask Lord Shi to be able to Jia. ”

Shi Heng heard this person's words, and his heart moved slightly, so he stepped forward and helped Lord Wang and said: "What the Lord said is really not bad, Shi Heng only has Xu Youzhen's wolf ambition in his heart, and his plan is not small, not enough Xu Youzhen is a civil official after all, no matter how he makes trouble in the court, as long as the Holy Lord also hands over the military power to Shi someone, he can suppress him." ”

Li Xian heard Shi Heng's words, so he walked up to Shi Heng and said to Shi Heng: "What Lord Shi said is not bad at all, the ancients are cloudy, Xiucai rebelled, and it will not be successful in ten years. At present, although the emperor said that the edict reprimanded Lord Shi, it was not enough, but he did not deprive the Lord of his military power at all, and it can be inferred from this situation that the emperor still relies on the Lord deeply, no matter how Xu Youzhen stirs up the wind and rain in the court, I am afraid that it is not enough to threaten Lord Shi. It was not enough, Li Xian still felt uneasy for a while, and he didn't know whether to talk to Lord Shi or not. ”

Thanks to Li Xian's help these days, Shi Heng was able to rescue his son from Xu Youzhen, and Shi Heng was naturally impressed by Li Xian.

Now that he heard Li Xian's words, Shi Heng was a little curious in his heart, so he stretched out his hand to Li Xian and said, "Lord Li has always been strategic, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's question, Li Xian was reserved for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Shi, although Xu Youzhen did not tell the emperor to deprive the lord of his military power, it is not enough From the perspective of the situation, Xu Youzhen may not have this idea in his heart, if there is really such a day, Lord Shi's military power will be slandered by Xu Youzhen on the emperor's advance, and it will be cut off for some reason, and at that time, it will be difficult for Lord Shi to counter Xu Youzhen." The lessons of the previous Huaiyin Marquis are flying, and adults have to guard against it. ”

Shi Heng couldn't help but feel very sad when he heard Li Xian say this, he didn't think of this matter before, not enough from the situation, although the emperor has cut off his military power, not enough from the current situation, this matter is by no means so simple.

In the time when he worked with Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng had already understood Xu Youzhen's personality very well, and he knew in his heart that Xu Youzhen was by no means easy to match.

Now that he heard Li Xian's advice, Shi Heng remembered the matter of Huaiyin Hou in his heart, and felt in his heart that he must not repeat the mistakes of the past and sit back and wait for death.

With this thought in his heart, Shi Heng waved his hand and said: "Xu Youzhen he dares, if Xu Youzhen makes such a suggestion in front of the emperor, Shi Heng will definitely die for him." ”

Li Xian saw that Shi Heng said this, so he shook his head at Shi Heng and said: "Lord Shi, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, coupled with Xu Youzhen's calmness, it is difficult to guarantee that Xu Youzhen will not come up with such a method to plot against Lord Shi." ”

Shi Heng heard Li Xian's expression, and his heart couldn't help but move, and then he slapped his thigh, and said to Li Xian: "Well, well, Lord Li mentioned something good today, Xu Youzhen, an old horseman, is the most vicious, but in order to frame Lord Qian Yu back then, it was all Xu Youzhen's tricks, and finally said that the emperor was moved, and he succeeded." At present, it seems that Xu Youzhen may also use these methods on Shi someone, and this matter must be guarded against. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he fanned the flames and hinted to Shi Heng: "What Lord Shi said is not bad at all, from the current situation, although I don't know that Xu Youzhen will have such a bad plan, but if you wait for Xu Youzhen to come up with these bad methods before dealing with Xu Youzhen, I'm afraid that it will be too late." It is necessary to take precautions. ”

Shi Heng heard Li Xian's words, so he shook his steel teeth and said: "What Lord Li said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this matter is not bad at all, Shi must not sit still, he must strike first, strike first, and then suffer." ”

When Li Xian saw Shi Heng's words, he understood in his heart that Shi Heng had already been moved by his words, and according to the current situation, the heat was enough, and there was no need to give advice, lest Shi Heng doubt his intentions.

Thinking like this, Li Xian arched his hand at Shi Heng and said, "Lord Shi Shengzhe Tianzong, if you think about it, you must have a good plan in your heart to deal with this matter, and there is no need for Li Xian to talk too much. ”

Shi Heng heard Li Xian's words, and took Li Xian's hand and said: "The ancients listened to Jun's words better than reading ten years of books, this is not true at all, if there is no Lord Li's words today, the old man has no way." Master Li's achievements are written down first, and there will be a heavy reward in the future. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he said to Shi Heng: "My lord, Li Xian deserves to say this. Li Xian just reminded the adults, and Yu Wai had no credit at all. ”

When Hubu Shangshu heard about this, he also understood in his heart that Shi Heng wanted to attack Xu Youzhen.

However, judging from the current situation, Shi Heng did not reveal what kind of means he wanted to take to deal with Xu Youzhen, and he knew in his heart that Shi Heng was also determined to not easily confide in this matter in front of outsiders.

However, there is one thing he knows very clearly in his heart, his position as the head of the household has been kept, because Shi Heng already thinks that he is working with him to deal with Xu Youzhen.

With this thought in his heart, Hubu Shangshu arched his hand to Shi Heng and said: "Lord Shi, if there is no other command, the lower official will return to the yamen first, and if Lord Shi has any dispatch in the future, just give the order, and the lower official will definitely support it." ”

Shi Heng heard this person's words, so he opened his mouth and said to him perfunctorily: "In this way, Shi Heng has thanked Lord Wang first, Lord Wang can rest assured, with Shi Heng in the middle of the court, he will never let Lord Wang be suppressed by Xu Youzhen." ”

When the head of the household department heard that Shi Heng had this promise, he was extremely pleased, so he spoke to Shi Heng and said: "This time, I want to thank Lord Shi for helping to support justice, Lord Shi, then the official will leave first." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he also echoed: "What Lord Wang said is true, if Lord Shi presides over the court this time, he will definitely not let Xu Youzhen and his party be too arrogant, so that they will mess up the court." As long as Lord Shi is there one day, Xu Youzhen will never dare to act recklessly. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he hugged his fist at the northwest corner, and then said: "My generation of officials should respect the heavens and ancestors, no matter what the situation is, they must always pay attention to Jiangshang Sheji and respect the emperor. We must not be like Xu Youzhen, who has no national law, and is in power with the country, but only blindly forms a party for personal gain, and the party fights against differences, so that the country will not be a country. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "What Lord Shi said is not bad at all, no matter what the situation is, it is necessary to maintain the prestige of the imperial court. ”

Li Xian's words were naturally very good for Shi Heng's temperament, and Shi Heng smiled at Li Xian and said: "Lord Li is so praised, Shi Heng is afraid that he can't stand it, but no matter what, this is the case, Shi must not sit back and watch Xu Youzhen's old man make a move that will bring disaster to the country and the people." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he saluted Shi Heng and said, "My lord has such words, judging from the current situation, this matter is quite simple. Xu Youzhen naturally wants to try to contain it, but in addition, he must also beware of Xu Youzhen's other henchmen. ”

Shi Heng heard Li Xian's suggestion, so he nodded and said: "Shi also knows that some of the civil officials in the imperial court are quite close to Xu Youzhen, and it is not enough to deal with Xu Youzhen. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he said to Shi Heng: "What Lord Shi said is not bad at all, the civil officials in the court are headed by Xu Youzhen, as long as Xu Youzhen is dealt with, and the thief is captured first, the king will naturally be scattered." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Shi Heng laughed loudly: "What Master Li said is exactly what I meant, judging from the current situation, this matter is like this, as long as Xu Youzhen is dealt with, the rest of these soldiers and pawns can naturally be swept away." ”

Seeing Shi Heng's pride, Li Xian was relieved, it seemed that Shi Heng only regarded Xu Youzhen as his fierce rival in the imperial court, and he was disdainful of others.

In this way, it will naturally be much more convenient to design Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng to fight in the future, Li Xian felt a little emotionally in his heart, Jian Huaizhen is indeed far-sighted.

Taoguang has been in obscurity for a long time, and it seems that he is defending the dead Yu Qian and clearing up his grievances.

Li Xian was naturally extremely happy in his heart.

After bidding farewell to Shi Heng with the head of the household and leaving Shi Heng's mansion, Li Xian had something to do with Lord Wang himself, so he didn't send Lord Wang back to his house.

Lord Wang thanked Li Xian for his kindness, and then let the house slave open the way and go to the mansion first.
