After a long silence, Zhang Yong slowly raised his head and looked at Song Nan's face jumping under the candlelight, Song Nan looked away, holding the teacup in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Lord Song, our family knows what Lord Song is thinking, but our family always feels that this matter is not very reliable, with Liu Jin's identity, Zhu Ningxiao may not be so easy to win him over, Liu Jin is no matter how lowly he is, he will not be able to follow this powerful and prestigious Anhua King Xin in collusion, this is completely unreasonable."

Song Nan turned his head and smiled: "Gonggong Zhang is right, I also think so, Liu Jin should not be in the same boat as King Anhua, if King Anhua has Liu Jin's help, how can we quell this rebellion so easily?" Liu Jin's disciples are all over the Ming Dynasty, and if he participates in it, I am afraid that he will be everywhere now. ”

Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My lord Mingjian, I still want to use this as an opportunity to impeach Liu Jin, it is an extremely unwise thing, and it will be a mess." ”

Song Nan laughed and said, "Gonggong Zhang, do you want to become the master of the inner court?" Do you want to do the position of the eunuch in charge of the celebrant seal? ”

Zhang Yong blushed and said, "What did Lord Song say about this?" It's not a question of whether our family wants to or not, it's useless for our family to think about it. ”

Song Nan put away his smile and said: "People who achieve great things must be good at seizing opportunities, and when the opportunity comes, they must seize it immediately." I heard a joke in the Ulju Army: one of my brothers fell in love with a girl next door, and every day he thought about how he would do with her, and one evening, the parents of the girl next door went out to run errands and did not return, and the girl was also interested in my brother, so she invited my brother to her house under the pretext of chasing mice. My brother had really chased the rats in the house all night, and the girl slept upstairs, and the door was not closed, and my brother did not dare to touch her. The next morning, the girl's parents came home, and when the girl saw my brother away, she said: The opportunity is given to you, but you don't know how to seize it, it seems that you and I have no chance. A few months later, the girl was married, and my brother beat his chest for a few years, regretting that he had not taken the opportunity. ”

Zhang Yong said softly: "What do you mean, do you want to do it to Liu Jin this time?" ”

Song Nan slowly got up and walked two steps and said: "Liu Jin instructed Li Zeng to assassinate me on the night of Shangyuan, many of my brothers died that night, I said that I am a person who has revenge, Liu Jin already wants my life, do you think I can spare him?" ”

Zhang Yongdao: "But if the adult uses this matter to impeach Liu Jin, the evidence is obviously insufficient, wouldn't he be bitten back?" ”

Song Nan said: "It's too simple to ask for evidence, the key is that it is difficult for me to bring him down alone, it is an open secret that I have a gap with Liu Jin, if this matter is brought forward by me, the emperor will be discounted in his heart, which is why Liu Jin has been unable to deal with me." The emperor once said in front of us that if Liu Jin and I attacked each other, we would be punished by him, so I would like to ask Lord Yang and Gonggong Zhang to come forward. ”

Zhang Yong's face was like earth, and he said with a bitter face: "Our family...... What face does our family have in front of the emperor? I'm afraid it won't be possible for our family to come forward. ”

Song Nan's face turned cold and said: "Gonggong Zhang, if you want to become the master of the inner court, you need to seize the opportunity, I don't necessarily need you to participate in this matter, Lord Yang alone can help me complete it, if you don't want to, I won't force it, but you won't regret it in the future." ”

Zhang Yong snorted: "It's not that our family is unwilling, but this matter...... The matter ...... It's really difficult. ”

Yang Yiqing said loudly: "Lord Song, Yang is willing to come forward in this matter, not because of the grievances between you and him, just because he brought disaster to the country and the people, and formed a party for personal gain, the old man can't stand it anymore; If Lord Song is behind him, the official is willing to come forward to impeach. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I knew that Lord Yang would agree, or not, since Gonggong Zhang is afraid, I won't force it, after returning to Beijing, I will ask Ma Yongcheng and Gonggong Ma to help me; Grandpa Zhang, tonight's matter is top secret, it doesn't matter if you don't help me, but don't spoil my business, you know my temper is not very good. You're good to go. ”

Zhang Yong stood up and didn't know whether to leave or stay, knowing that as long as he walked out of this door, Song Nan would never pretend to be half of his words from now on. I finally hugged Song Nan's thigh today, but once I was abandoned and lost Song Nan's protection, I would be nothing. And according to Song Nan's temper, he knows a lot of his secrets, and it is inexplicable that he will not die one day.

One fear overcame another, Zhang Yong suddenly figured it out, since he had Song Nan's support, why worry too much, he was not afraid, what was he afraid of? Thinking of this, Zhang Yong suddenly turned around and knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "I should be damned, our family was confused for a while, and we were greedy for life and afraid of dying, it was really stupid. ”

Song Nan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up and smiled: "What is this for?" You are the father-in-law of the inner court, let's talk about each other as equals, you kneel down for me, isn't this a discount for my life? ”

Zhang Yong confessed repeatedly, and Song Nan smiled: "It's understandable that you are afraid, it is Liu Jin who is dealing with it, but it is no one else, not only you are afraid, but I am also afraid." But if you let go of this opportunity because you are afraid of him, it will be difficult to defeat him in the future. Don't worry, I have my own plans, and I won't be stupid enough to look for death by myself, right? I can't afford to frame the eunuchs in the inner court. ”

Zhang Yong wiped his sweat and nodded again and again, Yang Yiqing said: "Lord Song, this matter is indeed a bit reluctant, I want to hear how you arrange this matter, this is not child's play, bringing down Liu Jin is a matter that shakes the government and the opposition, he has a huge power in the court, if there is no full evidence, I am afraid that he will be burned in an instant." ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "I naturally understand, I said that this is an opportunity because of the particularity of King Anhua's rebellion." This matter is different from anything, the behavior of the royal family to seize the throne should be the emperor's bottom line, in this matter, not only will the present be extremely vigilant, but the emperors of all dynasties will take this as a warning. As you just said, anyone who has a little connection with this matter will not be able to get rid of it, and the emperor will find them to settle the account, which is the premise that I dare to use this incident to bring down Liu Jin. ”

Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "The words are good, but the problem is that the emperor has great trust in Liu Jin in his heart, if there is no heavy evidence, just what he has at hand will not work at all." ”

Song Nan said: "Tied him to Zhu Ningxiao, since there has been contact between them, Liu Jin accepted Zhu Ningyao's silver to lobby the emperor to increase the number of troops in the Qingwang Mansion for him, and the matter of Zhang Cai being loyal to Zhu Ningyao, and Zhang Cai is the person recommended by Liu Jin, this is the second thing that makes it difficult for Liu Jin to defend himself." Of course, these two things alone are not enough to bring him down, I will give you a final evidence, and I will come forward to show the evidence when it is critical, so that the emperor can believe this qiē. ”

Yang Yiqing said: "What if King Anhua exonerates Liu Jin after being escorted into Beijing?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "What King Anhua said, the court will definitely not adopt it, how can the rebellious king bite indiscriminately?" The court will choose not to believe in all of them. Besides, why did King Anhua exonerate Liu Jin? He himself is going to die, he can only bite people indiscriminately, and it is impossible to excuse anyone, this does not have to be considered, even if he insists that Liu Jin is an accomplice in rebellion, it is just a blessing. ”

Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "Yes, but there is one more thing I must make clear, there is a reference to Liu Jin in the Jing Nan article sent by Zhu Ningxiao when he started the incident, isn't this the best excuse for Liu Jin?" ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "Who the treacherous evil in the text refers to, no one knows, maybe it refers to people like you and me; Besides, even if it refers to Liu Jin, isn't this easy to explain? King Anhua is deliberately covering for Liu Jin, is it possible that Liu Jin is still praised in the text? You're overthinking. ”

Yang Yiqing thought for a while and said, "Okay, I don't have any doubts. ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask Lord Song, how should I start after I return to Beijing?" ”

Song Nan said: "Come here with your ears." ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly leaned over, Song Nan whispered in his ear, Zhang Yong kept licking his lips and nodding. Song Nan explained some details that needed attention to Zhang Yong in every detail, Zhang Yong was actually not stupid, but he had lost his ability to think because of timidity. Song Nan still trusts Zhang Yong's ability, although this person is a little slippery, but it is not a big deal; Song Nan doesn't need him to be too shrewd, it's a good thing to be a little dull, if this big thing can be successful, in the future, the inner court will fall into the hands of Zhang Yong, and he will be able to control him very well, so as not to become the second Liu Jin in the future.

The three of them studied the details under the lamp, and only dispersed until the fourth watch drum was beaten.
