Chapter 342: Adding fuel to the fire
Chapter 342
Although the letter was not detailed, Kang Ning, who was a spy at the beginning, obviously didn't figure out what the point was, and wrote two large sheets of miscellaneous words, but Song Nan only had three or five sentences when he saw useful words: "...... Yesterday morning, the emperor hunted in the royal hunting forest on Qionghua Island, and was attacked by wolves several times, and was rescued by Qian Ning, the head of the leopard house; Soon Liu Jin went to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, had a quarrel with Qian Ning, and came out indignantly......"
Maybe the people sent to inquire or the people who called for questioning were all small-footed, and Liu Jin and Qian Ning didn't know anything about the dispute, but this was enough for Song Nan to conclude that something happened between Liu Jin and Qian Ning.
Qian Ning saved the emperor, but Liu Jin ran to blame Qian Ning, could it be that he blamed Qian Ning for not being able to save him? Naturally not! Most of the tactics worked, and the bait was put on, and Qian Ning took advantage of the merit to fight for it, ruining Liu Jin's plan. And Qian Ning dared to have a quarrel with Liu Jin head-on, which made Song Nan look at Qian Ning differently.
This Qian Ning became Liu Jin's henchman after saving Liu Jin in Xinpingbao, and became the position of the chief manager of the leopard house without revealing the mountain, you need to know that this position is a close minister around the emperor, and it is a position that many favored people in the inner court cannot obtain, Liu Jin can let Qian Ning take the position, which shows his trust in Qian Ning. And Qian Ning actually turned his face with Liu Jin, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.
Song Nan didn't want to bother to figure out whether Qian Ning had eaten bear bile or leopard bile, he only knew one thing, the bait had already worked, and the sharks began to prey on food. In Liu Jin's position, he must be trying to find a way to remedy it in order to calm down the disobedient henchmen, and at this time, Song Nan can only do one thing: add chaos! The constant chaos caused many sharks to join the ranks of the competition, making Yiqiē become chaotic.
Song Nan acted immediately, quietly rushed to the imperial prison to exchange information with Zhang Yong, and after discussion, focused on Ma Yongcheng as the next target; Ma Yongcheng has a silent personality, the oldest among the Eight Tigers, and looks a little honest and honest; However, several details provided by Zhang Yong made Song Nan feel that this person was not simple; When Wang Yue Fan Hengnetting was defeated at the beginning, Ma Yongcheng took the initiative to take Xu Zhi's place and sit in the eunuch, the head of the inner transport warehouse, which formed a great contrast with Gu Da's noisy power with Gao Fengqiu Ju and others.
Liu Jin naturally hopes that his henchmen can listen to his words, give him whatever he eats, and not make any noise, Ma Yongcheng took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, which is exactly what Liu Jin wants; And Ma Yongcheng not only undisputedly obtained the position of the eunuch of the head of the inner transportation depot with the most oil and water, but also avoided the unhappiness and mustard caused by grabbing the position with others.
This move seems negative, but Song Nan doesn't think so. Among the Eight Tigers, Ma Yongcheng's position is ranked last, if it is according to the normal distribution of rights, Ma Yongcheng will not even be able to touch the internal transport warehouse, so he is taking advantage of the psychology of everyone who wants to have one less competitor, first withdraw from the power struggle ranks of the key departments, and then include the big fat difference of the internal carrier warehouse into the bag, this hand is really exquisite.
And right now, under the chaotic situation, Song Nan really wants to talk to this Ma Yongcheng, if he is 'generous' like Ma Yongcheng comes out to fight, it will undoubtedly give others a shot in the arm; no one will see Ma Yongcheng, a wreck, dare to come out and fight for the position of the superintendent of the East and West Factory, but he will do nothing.
Although Zhang Yong agrees with Song Nan's opinion, he thinks that Ma Yongcheng is loyal and treacherous, and his loyal appearance first hides the heart of the exquisite seven tricks, which is not easy to say to move him; But Song Nan insisted on giving it a try, Song Nan believed that if the news that Liu Jin couldn't control Qian Ning came out, it would obviously make others doubt whether Liu Jin could settle Qian Ning. Why can't you get a piece of the pie?
Zhang Yong volunteered to act as a pawn to improve the news, and inquired that the emperor had not come to the leopard room in Xiyuan, and it was unlikely that he would meet Liu Jin.
Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui were nesting in the public house to bake the fire, while Qian Ning did not know where to go, which was also in line with Zhang Yong's intentions; Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui, who were in a state of desperation, were not defenseless against Zhang Yong, and they were caught up in the conflict between Qian Ning and Liu Jin yesterday in just a few words. Zhang Yong was happy, but he also secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, Qian Ning is not simple, judging from Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui's tone, Qian Ning's rescue is a bitter trick designed, and then he dared to confront Liu Jin head-on, obviously with Zhengde's approval, and maybe he has some Liu Jin's handle in his hand.
Zhang Yong didn't dare to stay longer, comforted Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui, and after pretending to come up with some ideas to keep them silent, he hurriedly passed the news to Song Nan, who was waiting.
Song Nan was also very surprised, if Qian Ning really used trickery to win Zhengde's trust, so as to let Zhengde support him, then this person's scheming would be extremely difficult and insidious; Everyone, including Liu Jin, has never dared to use the emperor's safety as a bargaining chip to act, if Qian Ning really dares to do this, then he deserves death.
Song Nan secretly made up his mind that after the matter subsided, he would thoroughly investigate the matter, and he would never let go of a person like Qian Ning who only cared about climbing up and ignoring a qiē; But at present, I need him to disrupt the situation, and I am not busy settling accounts with him.
It is confirmed that the conflict between Qian Ning and Liu Jin is for the unwarranted position of the factory official, and it also proves the effectiveness of his strategy, this kind of trick that blooms within the wall gives people the pleasure of slashing and killing the opponent with a knife, which is a kind of intelligence superiority and crushing, Song Nan has almost predicted the end of this matter.
What is intriguing is that a lot of things have happened, there seems to be no gossip circulating in the inner court, Song Nansi touched Liu Jin may be deliberately concealing this matter, before he comes up with a way to solve this matter, Liu Jin will definitely hide it from his henchmen, and Ma Yongcheng will not know.
Song Nan decided to help, and the face-to-face notification may make Ma Yongcheng think that Song Nan is spreading rumors, and the most convenient and effective way is nothing more than using gossip to spread it. People are sometimes cheap, telling you the truth in person, but you will think it is a deception, gossip is not credible, but you just talk about it, knowing that it is not credible but you want to find something credible.
It only took one morning, from the morning to the two or three hours after lunch, rumors were already raging in the inner court, and various versions of the quarrel between Liu Jin and Qian Ning had spread wildly among the various inner prison yamen; All versions maintain the core one thing that has not changed, that is, Qian Ning is about to be appointed as the governor of a certain yafactory, and it was appointed by the emperor himself, and Liu Jin can't stop it.
When the news reached the ears of Gu Dayong and Gao Feng, it was tantamount to a shocking thunder, Liu Jin had already privately given the two of them a thorough understanding of the two, and the two of them had already dreamed of their Russian crown black demeanor in the past two days, and suddenly it seemed like they had been knocked on the head.
What is surprising is that the first reaction of the two is: Liu Jin was making a show, deliberately letting his henchman Qian Ning take the position of one of the factory supervisors of the East and West Factories in this way, and pulling the emperor's appointment, in fact, he was blocking his own mouth, leaving aside the fact that this matter was secretly designed by him; Liu Jin has been cultivating henchmen to replace these old people for a long time, and this time it seems that he is really going to move seriously.
New hatred and old hatred came up together, Gao Feng and Gu Dayong were willing to take a break, and they rushed to find Liu Jin to theorize one after the other.
At this time, Song Nan was in Shouning Palace, and took the opportunity of the princess Ma Yongcheng to come to Shouning Palace from the carrier warehouse to meet this taciturn honest man.
The sky, which had been gloomy since yesterday, finally began to fall with snowflakes; Like a person who has been holding and urine for a long time, once the gate is opened, it will be out of control, snowflakes will fall, the sky and the earth will suddenly be white, and the roof of the tree will turn white almost instantly.
Ma Yongcheng commanded several little eunuchs in the inner transport warehouse to hurry to Shouning Palace with a pair of bamboo luans, and he didn't know what Princess Kangning did on a cold day to get this thing, this thing was ventilated on all sides, it was convenient to enjoy the scenery in spring and summer, and the princess sat in a warm sedan chair even if she traveled in winter; But Ma Yongcheng just had doubts in his heart, and he wouldn't ask more.
Hongyu, the female official of Shouning Palace, stood under the corridor and said, "There is Father-in-law Laoma, the princess said, please come into the house to roast the fire, eat some snacks and some hot tea before leaving." ”
Ma Yongcheng was flattered and hurriedly said: "The slave and maid thank the princess for her grace, but the slave and maid dare not appreciate it, it is all within the slave and maid's business." ”
Hongyu pinched her waist and said, "Does Grandpa Ma want the princess to come and invite you in person?" ”
Ma Yongcheng was stunned for a moment, immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, slave and princess." ”
As he spoke, he walked from the snow to the porch, patted the snowflakes on his body carefully, and after tossing for a while, Hongyu lifted the curtain and said, "Please come in." ”
Ma Yongcheng hurriedly thanked him and bent down into the warm pavilion; The light in the room is in great contrast with the snowy ground outside, for a while Ma Yongcheng only saw two figures in front of him, one figure sat at the table, and the other was standing aside, Ma Yongcheng thought that this was the princess, and was busy kneeling down to the sitting figure and saluting: "Slave Ma Yongcheng please princess." ”
The man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and said, "Grandpa Ma, what's wrong with your eyes?" I'm not a princess, but I've done me such a great courtesy. ”
Ma Yongcheng was startled, this was a man's voice, he looked up suspiciously, his eyes had adapted to the dimness of the room, and he saw a young man sitting at the table with a jade robe and a black gauze hat. ”
