Chapter 348

"What?" Zhengde looked at Liu Jin in surprise: "The factory in the west factory is not open again?" ”

Liu Jin said respectfully and sincerely: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has been thinking about it for a few days and nights, and this move is really redundant. At the beginning, the slave maid thought that there was a gap between the factory and the guard, and the coordination between the two sides was not effective, so they proposed to set up a general consul factory office; However, during the period when the slaves and maids were preparing to open the inner factory of the West Factory, they found that the cost was very huge, and the preparation of the two factories for the opening of the government may require hundreds of thousands of taels, and in the future, they will have to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to raise, which is really a big burden. It is completely borne by the internal transportation warehouse, which is really powerless, and if the household department wants to allocate funds, the household department is very tight on the silver. This year, the two lakes are not harvested, the south of the Yangtze River is flooded, the nine sides are strengthening the defense of the walled fort, and the imperial court's finances are tight, so it is better to save these silvers. ”

Zhengde frowned and looked at Liu Jin, then at Song Nan, seemed to understand something, and asked, "How to deal with the poor coordination between the factory and the guard?" ”

Liu Jin scratched his head, as if he didn't expect Zhengde to ask this, Song Nan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Liu is worried about the country and the people, and proposed to stop the preparation for the construction of the West Factory and the Inner Factory, which is also for the sake of the overall situation; Chen Jianyì, my Jinyi Wei Experience Department and the East Investigation Factory each sent people to form a coordination department, and set up a public house in my Jinyi Wei General Office to be in charge of intelligence exchange and coordination, which can solve this matter perfectly. ”

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Yes, what Lord Song said is that this move does not cost money and can solve the problem, which is really the best of both worlds." ”

A smile appeared on Zhengde's face and said, "I am also very pleased that you can think so; In fact, I feel that the opening of the West Factory and the Inner Factory also have overlapping powers and responsibilities, and some people have already written to criticize this matter, and there is no need for too many factory guards in Gyeonggi; I promised you. ”

Song Nan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, although Liu Jin also shouted at the emperor's sage, but in his heart it was like he had been cut a piece of meat, and the great opportunity to weaken Song Nan slipped away in vain, and I don't know if there is such a good opportunity in the future; However, Liu Jin thinks that it is worth it, as long as Song Nan slaughters Qian Ning for himself, as soon as this anti-bone thief and the guy who grabbed his handle die, the inner court will inevitably be shaken, and he will be ruthlessly rectified one by one in the past few days, and stabilize the overall situation of the inner court, which is worth it more than anything.

Before, he was busy reaching out, completely forgetting the hidden worries of his backyard, but after this incident, he gave himself a wake-up call, which is called Saion's loss of horses and knowing whether it is a blessing.

……

The horse's hooves clattered on the street that had not yet been cleared of snow, and the comfort in Song Nan's heart was indescribable, although it seemed that he had not gained any actual benefits, just returned to his previous state, but Song Nan knew that the significance of this confrontation was extraordinary, almost relying on his own strength to turn the situation around, forcing Liu Jin to retreat and give in.

This is an absolute psychological victory, no less than any benefit, and Song Nan is convinced of this.

Song Nan naturally wants to fulfill his promise and settle Qian Ning for Liu Jin, he doesn't want to drive Liu Jin crazy, Liu Jin's strength is still strong, if he really provokes him crazy, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses; Moreover, for Qian Ning, Song Nan also wanted to get rid of it.

In Xinping Fort, this person's behavior has already made Song Nan target him, this guy has a difficult plan, pretending to be dead and robbing the horse to save Liu Jin, and he doesn't care about the life and death of the princess, it can be seen that he is also a person who doesn't care about a person for the sake of the superior. Song Nan knew very well why Liu Jin promoted Qian Ning so much, it was not because Qian Ning saved him, first, Liu Jin needed Qian Ning to keep secrets, and second, Liu Jin wanted to use Qian Ning to replace his position next to the emperor.

I have to say that Liu Jin is very thoughtful and very successful, after Qian Ning was by Zhengde's side, he did almost replace Song Nan's position in Zhengde's mind; Song Nan was busy with affairs outside, and he rarely had time to accompany Zhengde all day long, so Qian Ning took advantage of the situation, plus Qian Ning's martial arts were strong, and he was clever in his mind to join Zhengde, so Zhengde favored Qian Ningcai.

Qian Ning was too anxious, if he could endure it a little more, he would not have been dizzy and listened to Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui's instigation to become an official, and he would not want to get rid of Liu Jin's control so quickly, to put it bluntly, it was actually Qian Ning's own sake, thinking that he had a stable position in Zhengde's mind, so he wanted to fight. As everyone knows, under the shadow of Song Nan and Liu Jin, if Qian Ning does not rely on anyone to think of it, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky, and finally fall into Song Nan's trap.

The way to kill Qian Ning is very simple, the Han general stationed in the leopard room has already strictly monitored Qian Ning under the instruction of Song Nan, especially in those days, Song Nan strictly ordered to monitor without interruption at twelve o'clock, and even watched Qian Ning's every move before the hunt.

Qian Ning secretly ran to the railing to cut off the railing by two feet, giving the gray wolf a chance to escape, and then stepped forward to save Zhengde, this qiē was already in Song Nan's control, even if Liu Jin did not make a deal with Song Nan this time, Song Nan would use this to control Qian Ning and let him stir up trouble in the inner court, and would never let Liu Jin feel better. Of course, it is impossible to get Channing to testify to what Xinpingbao did that day, because in that case, Channing himself would not have a way to live, and it would be absolutely impossible to achieve it.

Song Nan galloped home, several servants at the door were shoveling snow and clearing snow, and when they saw Song Nan returning with a smile on his face, they all stopped to say hello; The Lord of the Song Mansion has a gloomy face these days, and even the newlywed young lady is left at home, the atmosphere in the Song Mansion is very dull, it is rare to see the Lord Song go home with a smile, and the mood of the servants is much better.

Song Nan got off the horse and went straight to the backyard, in the yard Lu Qingli and the little county lord were building a snowman, Ye Fanggu and Dai Su'er were standing on the side with a big coat and holding their hands to watch the excitement, seeing Song Nan entering the door with a smile, the little county lord crossed his waist and shouted: "Do you still know how to go home?" Looking for that good friend again? Leave me at home and leave it alone, huh. ”

Dai Su'er and Ye Fanggu laughed gloatingly, Song Nan approached with a smile, stretched out his hand and hugged the little county lord and turned around, stretched out his mouth and took a mouthful, and the girls and several maidservants quickly turned their heads.

The little county lord beat Song Nan and said, "What are you doing?" In broad daylight, he is not afraid of gossip. ”

Song Nan smiled: "What's wrong in broad daylight? What's wrong with me kissing my wife? Su'er, Fanggu, and Qingli came and went, and each gave her husband a kiss. ”

Ye Fanggu snorted a few times, Dai Su'er was so ashamed that she walked into the house, Lu Qingli stood up, hugged Song Nan's neck and sent her red fluttering lips, Song Nanzi'er kissed loudly: "It's still Qingli's good faith, keep it up, don't learn from your cousin and Su'er." ”

Ye Fanggu chirped: "You person, why are you so happy today?" Was it really said by the little county lord, and who did you deceive? ”

Song Nan put down Lu Qingli and went to catch Ye Fanggu with his crossed hands, Ye Fanggu's face was grim, and she reached out to touch her waist, Song Nan had to stop, knowing that if she went further, she would have a cold mang against her throat.

Dai Su'er leaned against the door frame and said with a smile: "It must be the matter outside that has been solved, otherwise how can there be such a smiling face?" ”

Song Nan nodded his finger and said, "Those who know me, Su'er also." ”

The women immediately got up sternly and rushed up to ask what was going on, Song Nan was bullied during this time and had no power to fight back, and all the women knew about it, but they couldn't help; The little county lord said that he wanted to go back to the house to beg the grandfather, but Song Nan just stopped drinking, and now that he heard that the matter was resolved, everyone naturally wanted to know the reason.

Song Nan dragged a wife and three concubines to the hall, drinking hot tea, and told everyone that the women were speechless with their mouths half-open, how did this qiē do it, it was really incredible; If it weren't for the success of the strategy, the girls would have categorically disbelieved that Song Nan could blossom from the inside, and Liu Jin couldn't take care of himself.

Everyone smacked their tongues, and at the same time, they put down a big stone in their hearts, once this matter is over, Song Nan's position will be more stable; The little county lord said: "It's okay now, it's the first day in a few days, and you can spend the New Year in peace, but you can't stay home anymore." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've been staying at home for my husband these days and serving you well." ”

All the women knew what 'serving' meant, and for a while, Song Nan drank hot tea one by one, and was overjoyed in her heart.

……

Late at night on the 25th day of the lunar month, the sound of swords intersecting came from the leopard room in Xiyuan, and it was night Zhengde who did not stay in the leopard room, but stayed in the Qianqing Palace; The shouting and killing sound at the West Garden alarmed the Inner Palace, and the Han generals and officers with knives on duty at night hurriedly guarded the Qianqing Palace impenetrable, Zhengde panicked, and ordered people to go to the West Garden to find out what happened.

The fight in Xiyuan took place between the Leopard Fang Guards Camp and the Han General Camp led by Wan Zhi, and the reason was that Wan Zhi received an order from the Jinyi Guard Yamen to arrest the traitor Qian Ning, who was plotting against him, and said that Qian Ning used his hands and feet to cut off the railing two feet during the hunting on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the gray wolf in the fence of Qionghua Island almost injured the emperor.

Later, it was reported by others, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen ordered Wan Zhi to arrest him, but in order to prevent the wind from leaking, it was not announced in advance; Unexpectedly, Qian Ning resisted arrest, and led more than ten of his subordinates to resist arrest, slashing and killing six Han generals and injuring three people, and the culprit Qian Ning and more than ten people from the Yu Dang were all killed.

Zhengde was stunned, and then, Song Nan and Liu Jin entered the palace to see the driver, stating everything that had happened, and Liu Zhong and Zhang Rui, the deputy head of the leopard room, testified, and the case became ironclad evidence.

Zhengde was furious, Liu Jin personally asked Ying, led the Dongchang Tiqi to arrest more than 20 members of Qian Ning's family, and killed them all at the entrance of the vegetable market for the crime of rebellion and conspiracy.
