Dong Jincai jumped up and wanted to cover the other party's mouth, but unfortunately, fear made his whole body tremble, and he couldn't use any strength, he didn't know these private things of his own, how could the other party know, and he knew it so clearly, there was no speculation at all, just like what he saw with his own eyes......

"Choi-geun!" Dong Jincai roared angrily, "Are you finished?" ”

"Hehehehehehe" Choi Geun chuckled softly. That's right, the person who came was Cui Gen, the Han strategist of Mao Dun, back then, in order to cooperate with Mao Dun to compete for the Great Black Mountain Racecourse, he had quietly infiltrated Jurong and cooperated with Dong Jincai once, but that time, Dong Jincai pretended not to know, and it was all his advisers who helped to do it. It's a pity that Qian Jun is too ghostly, he sensed that something was wrong, quickly transferred his family, and also laid down the net, and wiped out the warriors he bought in Jurong, as well as several Yuanshenmen warriors controlled by Dong Jincai, and Qian Jun was still in the Great Black Mountain, and he was hit hard, so they had to retreat to the Northern Desert Grassland, after more than ten years of hard life, this time, they were lying on their salaries and tried their courage, and finally got ready again, Dong Jincai, a powerful assistant, how could he not use it?

Dong Jincai sat on the chair dejectedly like a leper dog: "Say, what do you want me to do?" I'll tell you, I'll do everything. ”

"Nature is also good for you." Cui Gen put away the appearance of a hippie smile, and his face showed fierceness and gloom, "Our king, we are going to attack Hu Lun'er in the next few days, I want you to cooperate, over there in Jiangnan, no matter what, we must drag Qian Junna, and he will not be allowed to have a chance to go to Northern Xinjiang." ”

"Aren't there two generals in Northern Xinjiang that he has placed?"

"Don't worry, those two people may have been a tiger in the past, but now, good food and drink have fattened them, a fat tiger that can't run, is it still powerful? Yawn! ”

"You are wrong, Guan Linlang and Lin Lihu in Northern Xinjiang have won the trust of Qian Jun, and they will never be so incompetent."

"You don't care about this, anyway, after more than ten years of recuperation, I am already sure that I will annihilate the Hulun'er Department in one fell swoop, you just need to hold Qian Jun back. Let me tell you, if we succeed in the north, there will be less pressure here, and your old emperor will not care about cleaning you up for a while, and maybe he will listen to the demagoguery and give you some benefits and sweetness. ”

Dong Jincai didn't speak, he has been in politics for nearly 30 years, and he has long realized that what he is best at is fishing in troubled waters, and the more the national disaster is at the head, the more beneficial it is for him.

It's easy to hold on to Qian Jun, but he must not just give and not take.

Cui Gen also seems to have seen through Dong Jincai's thoughts, but he can neither add an official title to him, nor give him wealth-over the years, in order to prepare for war, the treasury has been extremely empty, and they are counting on destroying Hulun'er and having a good Naadam Festival on that rich grassland.

"Lord Dong, I can only promise you, destroy Hu Lun'er, what you want, our king can give you anything, these years, the border trade with Jurong has raised Hu Lun'er richer than fat cows, and in his royal court, gold is used for land, silver is used to build houses, gems are paved, and there are countless rare treasures, which are richer than your Yongchang Emperor."

Dong Jincai threw a sarcastic smile.

Cui Gen was annoyed for a while, but there was no shame on his face, he defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, betrayed the nation, lived in an environment surrounded by foreign races, and had long thrown his dignity and face out of the clouds, where is there any concept of shame and not shame?

"Master Dong, let me tell you, if you don't cooperate, I'll announce your sister's identity-"

"You dare!" Before Cui Gen finished speaking, Dong Jincai jumped up and roared angrily.

"Don't be angry, be careful that someone outside hears it." Cui Gen pressed down with his hands soothingly, "Lord Dong, I mean, if, I think, you will definitely cooperate, this will not let you lose anything, but it has greatly helped us, our king, also has clear grievances, he will not forget your merits, and he will definitely be rewarded." ”

Seeing that Dong Jincai was still sitting there panting heavily, Cui Gen smiled: "I think, Lord Dong will definitely have a satisfactory choice, our king is not afraid of what you do anyway, but you have done so many wrong things, at this time, how to choose, hehe." ”

Dong Jincai was extremely depressed, indeed, he had no other choice, if Cui Gen revealed a hint of rumor, the emperor would immediately think of the truth about the death of Prince Qian Haoyu, then it was not a matter of his death, their Dong family, the nine clans did not want to have a living mouth.

No matter how confused the emperor is, he will not tolerate someone killing his own son, especially the successor who has been cultivated by himself, not to mention that Emperor Yongchang is just confused somewhere, and in some aspects, he is still very shrewd.

Cui Gen said a few words to Dong Jincai, then saluted and said goodbye, swaggering away, leaving him to sit there alone, like a clay sculpture and wood carving.

The people who were staring at the gate of Dong's Mansion found that Cui Gen's face was covering most of the suspicious visits, but when he followed up further, he was thrown off, and the news was reported to Zheng Zaixin, he immediately asked the whole city to search, but no clues were found, he blamed himself, wrote this situation into a report to Qian Jun, and sent it out.

In a blink of an eye, it is the sixteenth day of the first month, the New Year is completely over, the housewives of the wealthy families began to instruct the maids and women to put away the screens, vases, calligraphy and paintings in the room, including some expensive and rare clothes, curtains, etc., no guests came to the door, the kitchen utensils were greatly reduced, and the pots and pans were also put into storage. Wen Jinneng is a little better than other housewives, and he trusts a few capable housekeepers, and if she tells them to go on, they will do a good job in Chunming and Xiayang, and she is a lot easier.

The officials of the imperial court have prepared their official uniforms and black gauze hats, and when the New Year is over, the imperial court will open the seal, and they will work.

On this day, a post man dressed in yellow shouted all the way: "Urgent report——, Northern Xinjiang urgent report-" entered the city gate without letting the horses slow down slightly.

The faces of the people along the way have become ugly, such a scene has not appeared for more than 20 years, it seems that the border pass in northern Xinjiang is very critical.

The messenger rode a horse and came to the noon gate, where two eunuchs were waiting for them, and they took the mailbox with urgent news, and trotted all the way to the emperor's study.

During the festival, the courtiers were also on duty, this day happened to be Dong Jincai, he received a message from the little eunuch, and hurried to the study, the emperor changed into court clothes inside, ready to ascend to the palace, and the eunuch Zhang Hu on duty outside stretched out his hand to stop Dong Jincai, he is the palace attendant who has only risen in the past two years, and has just taken over Lin Changshan's position.

"Lord Dong, please wait in the palace, the little one has already sent a message to the ministers of the court, go there to discuss matters."

Dong Jin couldn't provoke Zhang Hu, he was so angry that his face cramped, the corners of his mouth were crooked to his face, Zhang Hu was shocked: "What's wrong with Master Dong?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look? ”

Dong Jincai pinched his face, pulled a few times, returned to normal, and said in a low voice: "The important affairs of the imperial court are important, and my little problem is nothing." ”

Zhang Hu gave Dong Jincai a thumbs up: "Lord Dong is really a loyal minister!" ”

Dong Jincai felt that Zhang Hu's loyal minister bit very hard, and he was really the opposite, he barely squeezed out a smile, and put on an expression similar to crying.

Zhang Hu saw that his teeth were sour, so he had to pretend to turn his face inadvertently, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, please wait, Lord Shen, Lord Gao, and Lord Wang will be there soon."

Dong Jincai wanted to be ahead of others, to slander first, and twist Emperor Yongchang's thoughts, but he didn't expect to let Zhang Hu block the car, he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, Zhang Hu was recommended to the emperor by the former prince, his son died, and the emperor was sad and angry, who can compare to the strength of a deceased person? Therefore, here in the emperor, Zhang Hu is now the first to be favored, and Shen Mingyun and Qian Jun have to stand behind.

Dong Jincai couldn't provoke Zhang Hu, he was unhappy, and he was helpless.

The messengers crossed the capital, and all the ministers knew that something was going on in the north, and they automatically sat in a carriage or sedan chair and rushed to their yamen, and those who were qualified to go to the court to participate in politics gathered in front of the noon gate, and soon, a eunuch opened the gate and passed everyone into the court hall.

The courtiers arrived, and Emperor Yongchang, who was in the harem, also discussed with a few humerus ministers who rushed over. The emperor's mood is very anxious, and at the same time it is very heavy, the northern Xinjiang is tight, but the Jurong god of war Qian Jun is in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the wind goes smoothly, take the fast boat back, and then hurry up and rush to the northern Xinjiang, it will take more than 20 days, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, how can it be delayed for more than 20 days? But now, who should lead the troops to support?

Hearing that the courtiers were already waiting in the court's palace, the emperor had no choice but to announce the court, and several ministers followed him, silent, all praying for some miracle - for example, who else was good at war, they did not think for a moment.

However, the miracle did not appear, and many courtiers discussed who to send to delay, to buy time for the Prince of Nanhai to rush back, and the discussion lasted for a full hour, and several ministers were dry in their mouths, but still no one could convince anyone.

The new crown prince Qian Haolin sat on the half stage beside the emperor, he suddenly walked down, solemnly saluted, and then said loudly in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, your son is willing to lead troops to support in northern Xinjiang." ”

Emperor Yongchang was shocked: "You haven't led any soldiers." ”

"Your Majesty, when you conquered the Western Xinjiang on behalf of the emperor, didn't you bring troops? At that time, the Prince of Nanhai was younger than me. ”

Emperor Yongchang said in his heart: The Prince of Nanhai is a genius, can you do it? "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, and in the first month, Erchen and King Dairenjun, as well as Qian Zhaohui, the second son of Prince Nanhai, were together, and found that the two of them also read a lot of military books, and Prince Nanhai also told them a lot of examples of military warfare." "That's not going to work, actual combat and military books are completely different things."
