Hearing Jian Huaizhen's question, Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "Since the eldest princess wants Li Xian to inquire about this matter, how can Li Xian not say it, speaking of which, today's matter is all dependent on the news from the eldest princess's side to the lower officials. If it weren't for the eldest princess giving Li Xian such a message, Li Xian would never have been able to do this. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he asked with great interest, "Master Li, can you tell me more about it?" ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly said: "Since the eldest princess commanded, the lower officials dare not obey their orders. Here's the thing, after the eldest princess informed Li Xian that Cao Jixiang wanted to sue Xu Youzhen in front of the emperor, Li Xian took the opportunity to visit Xu Youzhen's house, and sure enough, he was worried about this matter, so he received the lower officials. The lower official took this opportunity to meet Xu Youzhen, and quickly explained Xu Youzhen. ”

"After talking about Xu Youzhen, things will be easier to do, I took the initiative to offer advice, and took the initiative to invite Ying to the door of Cao Jixiang's mansion to be a lobbyist, but after arriving at Cao Jixiang's door, I immediately found that Cao Jixiang really intended to go to the emperor to sue Xu Youzhen." Li Xian said.

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen asked, "In this case, what will happen next?" ”

"The next thing is simple, the lower officials will take advantage of Cao Jixiangxiao, Cao Jixiang really listened to my opinion, and felt that it was not a good idea to fall out with Xu Youzhen at the moment, so he dispelled the idea of suing Xu Youzhen in front of the emperor." Li Xian opened his mouth to speak.

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen smiled dumbly and said: "It sounds like Cao Jixiang is easy to deal with, but according to the princess's usual perception, Cao Jixiang is by no means so easy to deal with." ”

Jian Huaizhen said this, and Li Xian said: "What the eldest princess has seen is that Cao Jixiang is by no means simple, although this old gelding dog promised not to sue Xu Youzhen in front of the emperor at the moment, it is actually very simple, from the current situation, it is not enough because Cao Jixiang feels that the power in his hands may not be able to bring Xu Youzhen down with a blow, so he will do this." ”

Jian Huaizhen said: "According to what you said, Cao Jixiang has a back hand. ”

Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "That's right, the eldest princess is like a god, and Cao Jixiang really left a back hand." ”

"What a hindrance." Jian Huaizhen asked.

Li Xian opened his mouth and said: "From the moment, it seems that Cao Jixiang's back hand is to wait for Xu Youzhen's handle to make a move before making a move, so as to succeed in one blow." ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen frowned, and then opened his mouth to ask: "It seems that Cao Jixiang is indeed not easy to deal with, and he is a master who plans and then acts." ”

"What the eldest princess said is true, Cao Jixiang is indeed not an ordinary person. Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen are two tigers fighting, and there will be an injury. Li Xian spoke.

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen asked, "Has Xu Youzhen already accepted you, the staff member who threw himself at the door, and how is he going to deal with Cao Jixiang?" ”

These two sentences naturally asked the point, and Li Xian said: "The eldest princess asked Yes, judging from the current situation, I helped Xu Youzhen solve a big problem today, but Xu Youzhen has a lot of trust in the lower officials. As for how to deal with Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has secretly tried to get some imperial historians to play a role for the emperor and impeach some eunuchs for misconduct. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, his heart moved, and he asked, "Which eunuchs does Xu Youzhen want to instruct someone to impeach?" ”

Li Xian said: "As far as the lower officials know, Xu Youzhen wants to cut off the wings around Cao Jixiang first, and it seems that he will move towards Cao Jixiang's subordinates first. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said: "In this way, Xu Youzhen wants to take this opportunity to attack the people around Cao Jixiang first, and then lead the fire to Cao Jixiang. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian was also extremely impressed in his heart, he didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to be so powerful, and he was very surprised that he could get a glimpse of so many things from his short words.

"The eldest princess, if Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang fight together, who might win. The two of them are opposite, will they turn the Ming Dynasty upside down, after all, Cao Jixiang is the head of the biggest force in the palace, and Xu Youzhen is the head of the cabinet, and the power of these two people cannot be underestimated. Li Xian spoke.

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "Judging from the current situation, the two fighting will have an impact on the court situation, but it will not shake the country, these two are celebrities around the emperor, if you want to say which of the two will win when they fight, the current situation is not clear, and the princess can't say well." But one thing the princess can be sure of is that the one who can win must be the one supported by the emperor. ”

"What the eldest princess said is extremely true, but in the eyes of the eldest princess, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang fight, who has a greater chance of winning?" Li Xian still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked Jian Huaizhen.

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is not complicated, if you want to win the emperor's support, it is naturally as close to the emperor as possible, Lord Li thinks in this direction, you can know who is the most victorious in this battle between Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's point, Li Xian is also a smart person, and he can understand it at one point, and immediately said: "The eldest princess has seen it thoroughly, it seems that although Xu Youzhen is the first assistant of the cabinet, she has already lost a few points to Cao Jixiang in such matters, and if you want to influence the emperor's mind, it is naturally the easiest person in front of you." ”

"Yes, Lord Li can see it thoroughly, and this princess also means the same." Jian Huaizhen smiled and said.

Li Xian pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "According to the current situation, Xu Youzhen's victory is not big, although the rank of the first assistant to the cabinet is high, although the emperor values him, he is not an inseparable person. And Cao Jixiang serves the emperor every day, and it is naturally easier to see the emperor than Xu Youzhen, so it is more convenient to influence the emperor's meaning than Xu Youzhen. ”

Li Xian pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "According to the current situation, Xu Youzhen's victory is not big, although the rank of the first assistant to the cabinet is high, although the emperor values him, he is not an inseparable person. And Cao Jixiang serves the emperor every day, and it is naturally easier to see the emperor than Xu Youzhen, so it is more convenient to influence the emperor's meaning than Xu Youzhen. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said: "What Master Li said is not bad at all, Xu Youzhen wants to instruct the henchmen of the court to attack Cao Jixiang, but I am afraid that he may not be able to succeed." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian opened his mouth and said, "Since this is the case, how should we deal with it." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said: "If these two people want to fight, just wait and see what happens, as for when to intervene, it depends on the situation." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's glance, Li Xian said: "What the princess said is true, judging from the current situation, it is still appropriate to let these two dog-eat-dog come at the moment, if you interfere at this moment, it may not be a good thing." It may be better to wait for the two to fall out and then intervene. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "Master Li has seen it very well, it is better for me to wait for the time being, and wait for Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen to fall out."

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian nodded yes.

Suddenly thinking of something in his heart, Li Xian hurriedly asked Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, if Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang fight in front of each other, who should the lower officials help?" ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "Master Li, don't worry, this matter is absolutely impossible. ”

Li Xian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked Jian Huaizhen, "Why is the eldest princess so sure of this." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said to Li Xian: "Master Li knows that this matter is almost impossible from the identity of Cao Jixiang. ”

Cao Jixiang was slightly stunned, then thought about it, and immediately understood the key to it, this matter is extremely simple, Cao Jixiang is a eunuch in the palace, and it is almost impossible to argue with Xu Youzhen above the court, so the situation of the two fighting face to face will never exist, not to mention that the emperor may not allow such a face-to-face court dispute, which is degrading to the country.

Thinking of this, Li Xian nodded at Jian Huaizhen and said: "What the eldest princess said is very true, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang are fighting, it is impossible to get to that point." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the current situation, this is the case, even if these two want to fight, they will never put it on the face." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian couldn't help but admire it, so he spoke to Jian Huaizhen and said: "What the eldest princess said is very true, Xiaguan and Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang have dealt with each other, and it is exactly the case that these two people like to engage in some conspiracies and tricks in secret, even if they hate them behind their backs, they still pretend to be extremely enthusiastic when they meet, and the ability of these two people to be pretentious and calm is not bad." ”

"What Master Li said is not bad at all, and from the current situation, it seems that this is the case. Even if Cao Xu and Xu compete, they will not be put on the surface. Jian Huaizhen spoke.

When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "What the eldest princess said is that it seems that it is not easy to take a good look at these two people fighting to the death. ”

Jian Huaizhen bowed slightly, and said, "What Master Li said is extremely true, and it is better to wait and see what happens for now. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian said, "Okay, the lower officials will obey the orders of the eldest princess and wait and see what happens." Let's see what kind of tricks Xu Youzhen in the court and Cao Jixiang in the palace will play. ”

"The first eunuch in the palace has the most tricks, in the early years, when the princess was in the palace, she also saw a lot of eunuch tricks, Xu Youzhen is insidious and vicious, the city is quite deep, and it is not easy, if the two fight, I am afraid that there will be no good thing." Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and spoke.

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian nodded and said: "It seems that what the eldest princess said is not bad at all, and now the two of them are pretending to be safe, so we will wait and see what happens." ”

"It is precisely this principle, two tigers fight, there must be an injury, but these people are all traitors who framed Lord Qian, from the current situation, these two fight, the victory or defeat is not determined, and it is not visible for a moment and a half, we still wait and see what happens." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

"What the eldest princess said is extremely true, and the only way to do so is to wait for the opportunity to find out the evidence of Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen, and in the future, it will be good for Yu Qian to clear your grievances." Li Xian opened his mouth to speak.

Hearing Cao Jixiang's words, Jian Huaizhen said: "Master Li sincerely wishes, and he will be able to achieve this matter in the future." ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "Thanks to the noble words of the eldest princess, Li is looking forward to that day day and night as soon as possible. ”

Jian Huaizhen sighed and said, "You and I all have this thought in our hearts, but judging from the current situation, I really don't know if we can get my wish." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he opened his mouth to Jian Huaizhen and asked, "Didn't the eldest princess say that the emperor wanted to rehabilitate Yu Qian, could it be that the emperor changed his mind or dispelled his original thoughts?" ”

Hearing Li Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "There is no need to mention this matter in the future, whether the emperor's mind has changed or not, even the princess does not know now, no matter what the situation is, just have such a thought in your heart, but you don't have to worry too much about this matter." The emperor's intentions should not be speculated. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to say this.

Judging from the current situation, if Jian Huaizhen has such a statement, it means that the emperor's mind has indeed changed.

Could it be that the emperor changed his mind again and was unwilling to rehabilitate Yu Qian.

Li Xian had this thought in his heart, and his heart was naturally a little heavy.

Jian Huaizhen naturally noticed Li Xian's strangeness, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Xian: "Lord Li, what the emperor means, I and others as subordinates naturally can't speculate, there is not enough thing that Lord Li has to understand in his heart. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian hurriedly said, "The eldest princess has something to say, please make it clear." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the family and the country have to be shouldered, so the emperor's mind is unpredictable and it is a helpless thing, the death of Lord Yu Qian is the emperor's thoughts, and it is even more unknown now, if we want to clear the grievances of Lord Yu Qian, what we can do now is to find out the private affairs that once framed Lord Yu Qian's traitorous ministers, and find out the evidence of the crime of the year, so as to return Lord Yu Qian's innocence." ”

"What the eldest princess said is extremely true, judging from the current situation, this is the case." Li Xian nodded and said.

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said: "Judging from the current situation, it seems that there will be a big turmoil in the court, and it will be a matter of time before and after. However, Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen are cunning changes, and they are now adhering to the idea of planning and then acting, according to Princess Ben, the confrontation between the two will take time, and I am afraid that it is not the time yet. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian asked Jian Huaizhen a little anxiously: "According to what the eldest princess said, how should we deal with this matter now." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "Why be anxious, Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen are in the palace, and the other is a member of the imperial court, and they are by no means fleeing halfway, not to mention that these two people are greedy for power, and they will never give up their positions of power easily, and if they want to deal with them, they will have a chance in the future." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Xian spoke: "What the eldest princess said is true, and the lower officials are a little anxious about Yu Qian's affairs. ”

"I'm anxious to do it, but I'm afraid it won't be able to succeed." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

"The eldest princess is taught, and Li is taught." Li Xian opened his mouth to speak.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "Master Li doesn't have to be like this. ”

"The eldest princess, since the matter has been decided, then Li will go back first, and wait for the opportunity to move after the big waves between Cao Xu and the two." Li Xian opened his mouth to speak.

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "What Master Li said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, this matter is just like this." Master Li doesn't have to be anxious after he goes out, Skynet is restored and not leaked, as long as we find out the evidence of the crime solidly, Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen will be brought to justice in the future. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, if you write such words as the eldest princess, this is really the case. ”

After Li Xian and Jian Huaizhen said goodbye, they still left quietly.

In the following days, Jingshi seemed to be calm on the surface, but the undercurrent of death underground was turbulent.

However, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang each had ghosts, and for some reason they never fought.

Seeing this situation, Li Xian couldn't help but admire Jian Huaizhen for seeing things and pointing out.

After another month, there was a locust plague in Henan, and the locusts that covered the sky and the sun fell into the fields and chewed the crops cleanly, not to mention the grain, even the trees were gnawed off their leaves, and even the hard bark was gnawed in a large circle.

Without food, the victims had to leave their homes, wandering the roads and moving to other places to eat.

Jingshi was rich and prosperous, and naturally many disaster victims crowded into the capital, and Zhu Qizhen had no choice, so the officials of the imperial court had to set up some porridge factories on the ground in Jingshi.

It's a pity that there are more monks and less porridge, and with the continuous influx of disaster victims into the capital, soon the porridge factory was crowded.

There was too much influx of victims, and the Kyoshi couldn't take care of it.

One day, Jian Huaizhen traveled in casual clothes, and after walking a few steps, he saw a group of victims on the street, all of whom were yellow and thin, and they all waved their hands at the pedestrians on the road, begging for food.

There was a rather ghostly child in the team of the victims, although he was as hungry as the adults, his face was yellow and thin, his face was not as fleshy as a pair of flesh, and he was not bright enough for a pair of big eyes.

Soon the child found Jian Huaizhen and ran to the front to ask Jian Huaizhen for food and money.

Jian Huaizhen felt that this child was extremely cute, so he took out a silver ingot from his body and gave it to him.

The child who asked for something was naturally extremely happy, and hurriedly saluted Jian Huaizhen again and again.

The adult at the back was so generous that he also walked up to Jian Huaizhen, knelt down and kowtowed to Jian Huaizhen according to the child's head, and said, "Thank you, girl, for your kindness." ”

Jian Huaizhen hurriedly stepped forward to help the child and the middle-aged man.

"Hurry up, who are you?" Jian Huaizhen asked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said, "This kid is my second son. ”

The child also spoke, "This man is my father." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he smiled and opened his mouth to say, "It seems that there is still an eldest son in the family." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man and the child fell silent.

Jian Huaizhen felt a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that something happened to that child?" ”
