Chapter 31: Wu Wenhui's Schemes

Previous Chapter

In the middle of the night, there are unicorn guards patrolling the palace, and there will always be no shortage of guards in the palace of each dynasty, and martial arts masters can always avoid their eyes.

Two dark shadows silently came to the secluded courtyard near the racecourse, dodging the night guards.

In a lit hut, Wu Wenhui was drinking a bowl of tea, and when he raised his head to look at the door, the two people who pushed the door and walked in were Luo Heili, the steward of the palace and eunuch, and Yang Da, the steward of the painting house.

The two of them sat down directly to the left and right of Wu Wenhui.

"Is it clear how Xiao Yangzi died? Wu Wenhui put down the teacup with anger in his eyes.

Eunuch Yang replied: "I found it clearly, it was indeed the hand of the little princess, we underestimated the little highness after all, the eighteen little eunuchs she left on the grounds of Keju, it seems that the dead soldiers who followed her were practicing martial arts during this time, the origin of the blind young man is very mysterious, and there are no clues after checking for so long, just like a person who appeared out of thin air." There is no record of him entering the palace, and it seems that he walked through the secret passage in the palace. The little emperor deliberately brought him into the palace, it turned out that he wanted to deal with us, but we have no intention of dealing with him over the years, and the little emperor wants to get rid of us. ”

"It's true! The rest of the people don't say it, I can't imagine that His Royal Highness has a good intention and deceived the miscellaneous family! The little princess would never have such an idea in the past, she has always been pampered, and it is impossible to think so long-term, not to mention that it is not her character to endure for so long. Wu Wenhui sneered.

"This matter is absolutely true, the two sisters I personally sent that day reported truthfully, they are the people of the Taishi, and they have to listen to us, the princess does not trust them, they can't lie and deceive people if they want to stay in the palace. After thinking about the whole thing, it is not difficult to deduce, but what I didn't expect was that the three people who walked with Xiao Yangzi were all first-class masters of the palace people's mansion, and I couldn't imagine that no one escaped alive. If the dead man next to the little princess can have such skills, it will not be simple. Luo Heili frowned.

"Could it be that they were poisoned, and did they bring their bodies back?" Wu Wenhui narrowed his eyes.

Eunuch Yang replied: "The little princess hid the corpse, I heard that there is a secret passage in the Fragrance Zhai, near the rockery, I didn't pay much attention to it in the past, and now I think about it, I have to find out." ”

"Lord Luo's palace is like a cloud, and this matter is handed over to Lord Luo. Wu Wenhui looked sideways.

Luo Heili replied: "This is naturally the master of the palace people's mansion to see, the little princess killed my person, this breath can't be swallowed, let him know that she shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the palace, and the emperor doesn't dare to point fingers at us, she is so blatantly killing our people, she must let her know that in this palace, Bing Baiyu herself is difficult to protect, if she doesn't want to die, she should be safe and don't mess around!"

Wu Wenhui nodded slightly and said: "It's just that the miscellaneous family is more worried about the Taishi, now the northern general is going south, and the Taishi party in Chaoge City has monopolized the power, a few days ago, the Taishi killed the capital of the second battalion of the north and west of the Longying Army, and arranged his henchmen in, it is really a wolf's ambition, our situation is not optimistic, and now the death of the Zhou Da steward has not found a result, and the miscellaneous family thinks that even if it is not the poisonous hand of the Taishi, it will not be able to get rid of him, and you must be careful everywhere in the future." Now Taishi is still thinking about the little princess marrying his son-in-law, and we can't do too much. ”

"He dares to turn his face with us! Not to mention how many people have succumbed under the order of Old Wu Changmen, Brother Yang's painting mansion has the support of many families outside the court, in terms of strength, we may not be as good as Taishi, but I really want to fight a fish and die in the net, I'm afraid that Taishi can't eat us, Brother Wu, we were brothers back then, and today's status is all based on our own spelling, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to us, we will let him never recover!" Luo Heili said angrily.

Wu Wenhui pointed at the desktop with his fingertips, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Luo is right, over the years, under the orders of the miscellaneous family, many people have coveted the glory of the people to attach, if the miscellaneous family falls, they will not feel good, the Taishi wants to be unfavorable to us, we have to weigh more." This time, even if it is a punishment for the little princess, I also remind the princess by the way, don't underestimate us. But things are not so rosy now. ”

Eunuch Yang said strangely: "Why did Elder Wu say this, apart from the Grand Master and the Great General, could there be anyone else who could be unfavorable to us." ”

"It's not those damn aspiring people, just forget it if you don't worship under the door of the miscellaneous family, and now you are staring at the miscellaneous family everywhere, wanting to seize the handle of the miscellaneous family and criticize it. In the past, some of the talented people who worshiped the miscellaneous family wrote good articles, and the miscellaneous family secretly handed over their articles to Brother Luo to sell them to make money, and there were very few people who knew it, even if they knew the truth, they didn't dare to make a noise, and the miscellaneous family could send them away with a little money. But I don't know which damn person told me about it, and now those talented people who worship under the miscellaneous family have superfluous ideas, and it's really hard to control. Wu Wenhui sighed.

Eunuch Yang said on the side: "Elder Wu, don't worry, it's not good to blatantly hack their articles now, but we can think of more ways from the Changmen Order." ”

"I understand this, I'll leave everything to you. Wu Wenhui nodded slightly.

Luo Heili smiled and said: "If Lord Yang thinks of a way, he is not afraid that he will not be able to deceive them, and the miscellaneous family can remember that in the past, Lord Yang could call Yang to come and give birth to lotus flowers, if it is in troubled times, Brother Yang can be a lobbyist." ”

Brother Luo laughed, but I have to say that those people are getting smarter and smarter now, and they are not easy to deceive. Eunuch Yang sighed, "I still always think of the most beautiful times we used to have." ”

Wu Wenhui laughed and said: "As long as the miscellaneous family can influence the selection of officials in the imperial court, I am not afraid of them making trouble." Some people are unwilling to enter the court as officials, and there will be a large number of people rushing to become officials. It's like a miscellaneous family holding a gold ingot in his hand, as long as he kneels and kowtows to the miscellaneous family, and the gold ingot is given to him, there will definitely be many people who look down on the miscellaneous family, but there will still be people who rush to kowtow to the miscellaneous family, as long as these kowtow people don't go, the power of the miscellaneous family will not be lost. Nowadays, what the miscellaneous family is most afraid of is that these people are united, so they must use power and wealth to lure and intimidate them with majesty, as long as they have two hearts, the miscellaneous family will always control the selection of court officials. ”

"This is Wu Lao's scheme. Eunuch Yang said respectfully. Wu Wenhui nodded and said: "Yes, now the time is ripe, the miscellaneous family has been plotting for many years and finally waited for the opportunity, if the civil and military officials are divided into nine ranks, the ninth rank is the highest, and the miscellaneous family now wants to suppress the old officials of the ninth rank, because these people are really not obedient enough, and they don't want to be promoted by who promoted them at the beginning, and now that they have gained power, they will be angry because the miscellaneous family asks them for money." In addition, the miscellaneous family wants to promote the officials of the seventh to eighth rank, although their ability to do things is not good, but it is better to be obedient, the miscellaneous family wants to promote them to the ninth rank of the officials, and slowly squeeze out those old officials, but this step is very far, speaking of the Changmen order is for this step to prepare, in the future, all these people who do not listen to the words of the miscellaneous family, even if they become the officials of the ninth class, the miscellaneous family can also deal with them. Fortunately, many of these people are short-sighted, and they can't guess the thoughts of the miscellaneous family, and they don't know the truth of cold lips and teeth. The rest of the officials of the first to third rank are just lying on the street and don't want to pay much attention to them, and some of these people want to worship under the miscellaneous family and have no chance, but help the miscellaneous family talk everywhere, which is really good. If these officials are slowly controlled, the Taishi will not underestimate us in the future, speaking of which, the Taishi can have his current status, but because he is in charge of the military power, and there are soldiers and horses in the tiger battalion to obey orders, but there are still a large number of civil and military officials in the court who are ours. ”

"Wu Lao is far-sighted. Eunuch Yang said respectfully.

Wu Wenhui said with a smile: "But we are now powerful in the palace, others can ignore it, but the two people in the imperial dining room and the cold palace still have to visit on time, if we really want to tear our faces with the Taishi one day, we will have to rely on the two of them." It's not too early now, the miscellaneous family is going to rest, and you still have to be careful when you meet in the future, and you can't ask the master to grab the handle. ”

"Yes. Luo Heili and Eunuch Yang retreated.
