In the face of his cousin Battle's accusation, the Heavenly Saint Khan, who was originally full of anger, rarely did not swing his sword to kill the traitor, on the contrary, the slightly murderous expression on his face slowly faded, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

"Sister, do you think so too?"

After a long silence, he first set his eyes on the young mother and son, who were none other than Yexian's own sister Moro and his nephew Tengger.

In addition, this little boy also has a Han Chinese name, called Zhu Jianhan.

That's right, he is Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, the dragon species left on the grassland, a prince who can never be recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

"I just want to find a way for my children to live."

Moro has the tenacity of a steppe woman, and the reason why she is willing to report to the Ming Dynasty spies is simple, that is, to find a way for her son to live. The reason is that Moro knows very well that Zhu Jianhan will only be regarded as a banner against the Ming Kingdom, a tool to disrupt the legal system of the Ming Kingdom, and will become a victim of power for the rest of his life.

"Nonsense!"

Sister Moro's words seemed to poke at the pain point of Ye Xian, and after he reprimanded angrily, he retorted: "You and Tengger are on the grassland, and Ben Khan, as an uncle, is still helping him fight for the dragon chair of the Ming Kingdom, but if one day our Mongolian sons and daughters re-enter the Central Plains, Tengger will become the supreme emperor!" ”

Yexian's quibble made a mocking smile appear on the corners of Moro's mouth, and life and death had been put aside at this point, and she simply exposed: "Even if one day the Khanate's iron cavalry can attack the Central Plains again, Tengger will only become a puppet for convenient rule, and then die unexplained at some point." ”

"Dai Zong Khan, Ah Ra Zhiyuan, and Boyan Tiermu are all living examples!"

From a historical point of view, he was indeed a hero who unified the Mongolian tribes, but in the eyes of his vassal relatives in the same era, he was an out-and-out bloodthirsty butcher.

Killing Khan, killing brothers, slaughtering heroes, and all those who stand in the way of Yexian's power will be eliminated. Moro knew very well that his son's royal blood would not bless him from becoming the co-ruler of the world, but would only cause death.

The person who did it was precisely Zhu Jianhan's uncle, who was in the same vein!

This is why, on the road to the pinnacle of power, unless Shen Yichen is forced to do so, he often chooses to negotiate and compromise with political opponents rather than use physical means to eliminate them.

Getting rid of a few political opponents seems to be the fastest and most efficient means, but in fact, the consequence is that everyone is at risk, and the rest is more to bury dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts, and the entire political system is in an extremely high-pressure state.

As soon as the power of suppression weakens, or if the balance is upset by an external threat, the barrel of dynamite will explode immediately. There are countless powerful ministers in history, and when they are in power, they seem to be invincible, and even the emperor has to avoid three points.

But at a certain moment, the building suddenly collapsed, and everyone shouted and beat it into a rat crossing the street.

In fact, in a certain period of time, Shen Yichen was almost facing the current situation, and the negative impact of killing the king was no less than killing the khan and killing the younger brother and slaughtering the heroes. However, in the subsequent transition of imperial power, and with the Empress Dowager, Chen Xun, Hu Hui, Shi Heng and others, a political compromise satisfactory to all parties was reached, which changed the courtiers' impression of Shen Yichen.

Now, even if it is the civilian-bureaucratic group that is most difficult to deal with with Shen Yichen, when there is a political disagreement, they understand that they can completely rely on dialogue and negotiation to solve the problem, and there is no need to worry that Shen Yichen will use his power to oppress others, let alone anger the other party and "disappear from the world".

Political compromise often seems weak, but in fact, it can keep the entire court in a healthy state, and the consequences of evolving into a one-word hall are terrible.

Wanting to compare the accusations of others against himself, his sister Moro's words pierced Yexian's heart even more, he felt that he had not done anything wrong, and that Dai Zong's sweat was an obstacle on the way forward, how could he rise from his immortal Warat Ross?

Arazhiyuan is greedy for power and love for the throne, and the position of the Taishi is the foundation of the fortune of the Rose family, doesn't he know what it means, which emperor can tolerate such a powerful minister who does not know the height of the sky and the earth since ancient times?

Boyan Tiermu is even more dizzy, the fragmented Mongolian tribes will only be eaten and annexed by the Ming State step by step, and from then on to the fate of the Xiongnu and Turkic tribes in history, and they will start the reform of ten thousand households, and what is wrong with inheriting the world?

Until this moment, I suddenly had some understanding of Shen Yichen's experience in the reform and reform of the Ming Kingdom, and the reshuffle of interests was often accompanied by incomprehension and bloody rain, I don't know if this Prime Minister of the Ming Kingdom is the same as himself Tasting the taste of betrayal and separation.

Heroes cherish heroes, and they also follow Shen Yichen's experience first, as if they are a pair of twins of fate.

After a period of inner pain, Tiansheng Khan also exhaled first, and his eyes returned to indifference again. The emperor is destined to be a ruthless existence, whether the vassals and relatives understand it or not, the trend of Mongolian unification is unstoppable.

As a woman of the Rose clan, Moro was also destined to fall victim to politics, including her son, who had the blood of the Ming Dynasty.

"The King of Magazines!"

He also shouted to the side first.

"Brother is here."

"All those who participated in the collaboration were dragged down and beheaded, and Moro and Tengger were imprisoned in tents and were not allowed to make contact with anyone. In addition, the Ming State spies found were collected in wooden boxes and sent to the Ming Kingdom Jingshi to Shen Yichen to see, this is the fate of the detailed report! ”

Killing decisively is the true character of the hero, fate forced Shen Yichen to do similar things with Ye first, and the difference in the style of the two sides is destined to lead to different endings.

"Yes, Great Khan!"

Not daring to disobey in the slightest, the king of the race magazine escorted a few people out of the sweat tent, and soon there were bursts of exclamations and painful wails outside.

Hearing all this, Tiansheng Khan also became more cold in his heart, and family affection would be completely removed from the scope of consideration.

Thousands of miles away, Shen Yichen didn't know that he would act so quickly and his means would be so decisive. finally developed the inner line of the Boyan Timur line and the Moro line, and it was uprooted in this way, and the secret agents who were installed to deliver the news by the way were all implicated.

But the value of "undercover" often lies in this, they used their lives to save the survival of 50,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army. From the moment Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, chose to retreat to Jiayuguan, it was equivalent to exposing the existence of secret agents, and it was also doomed to their end.

Of course, Tiansheng Khan also transferred the tribe and livestock first, which is also equivalent to telling Shen Yichen that there are spies in the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, and now Shen Yichen wants to do something similar.

In the Yamen of Fusi in Jinyi Weinan Town, Shen Yichen, who had retreated from the dynasty and left, did not return to the mansion, and was sitting here drinking tea with the commander Zhao Hongjie. At the cabinet meeting, he said to Wang Wen that he would directly convey the military order to Yu Qian, and plow the Tartar Khan's tent to sweep the hole, but in fact he threw out a bait.

Before the internal spies are discovered, there is a possibility of leaking secrets in any military deployment, which will put the soldiers in danger. Shen Yichen would not do such a stupid thing, thinking that he could avoid all risks by directly conveying the military order, and throwing the bait was to create an opportunity for Jinyiwei to be arrested.

"To the north, it's almost an hour, will the bait you put on the book be too obvious to catch a big fish?"

Although Zhao Hongjie has been in Beijing for a longer time than Shen Yichen, it is obvious that his self-cultivation and self-cultivation skills cannot reach the level that Shen Yichen has honed with a group of old fritters in officialdom every day.

After sitting for nearly an hour, two pots of tea were brewed, and he felt that there was no point in waiting any longer, and the other party should not be easy to take the bait.

"I don't know about the others, but this big fish will definitely take the bait."

Shen Yichen fiddled with the teacup in his hand, showing a confident look.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because the mastermind behind the scenes is Cao Jixiang, and his personality dictates it."

Regarding Shen Yichen saying the name Cao Jixiang, Zhao Hongjie didn't have much surprise on his face, basically the high-level of the Beijing Division ruled out a circle, and it was easy to lock on the suspected target.

Now the bait thrown out by Shen Yichen is more about finding the specific executor. After all, regardless of the huge group of palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City, the line of issuing military orders to the cabinet, the military department, the household department, the finance department, and the general administration department alone involves countless officials.

The more strategizing Shen Yichen's cabinet meeting became, and the larger the scale of his actions, the more Cao Jixiang was stimulated to obstruct him. Otherwise, if Shen Yichen really succeeded in raiding the Tatar tribes, then his prestige and military exploits would rise to a higher level again, and the internal officials would be even more unable to match the outer courts.

There are too many eunuchs similar to Cao Jixiang in history, they may not succeed, but they are more than enough to fail!

"If you really bring Cao Jixiang out this time, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Hongjie opened his mouth and asked, it is not easy to move Cao Jixiang, the twelve eunuchs of the inner court have an independent closed system, and they must be submitted to the emperor for review and approval, so that the three law divisions can intervene in the verification.

But the question is that Cao Jixiang watched the little emperor grow up, and there was a kind of family affection between the two sides that transcended the relationship between monarchs and ministers, could he really be easily brought down?

In addition, the Cao clan controls the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Five Military Camps, and if these two soldiers and horses are not handled well, it is easy for a civil war to break out in Beijing. Cao Jixiang is fundamentally different from Shi Heng, the latter is a little arrogant at most, and his behavior will unconsciously transgress.

The former has real rebel ambitions, and he will never be caught without going to a dead end, if he is blessed by the royal family, even if Shen Yichen finds evidence of Cao Jixiang's crime, it will be difficult to defeat the other party.

Facing Zhao Hongjie's question, Shen Yichen sighed deeply, and then said in a helpless tone: "Hongjie, in fact, during this time, I have been wandering between the outside must be safe first, or the inside must be safe outside. ”

"If you choose to fight outside, you must first settle inside, then there is a risk of civil war, creating an opportunity for the foreign enemy Tartars to take advantage of, and the nine-border defense line may not be able to withstand the impact of the unified Mongol Khanate."

According to the character of a person like Cao Jixiang, it is difficult to reach a certain political compromise with him. Or maybe his appetite is too big, and satisfying it is equivalent to raising tigers. ”

"Then it is bound to reproduce the situation at this moment, the border soldiers are fighting bloodily, but the thieves in the Beijing division are pulling their hind legs in various ways. If you encounter any weak opponent, you can still kill the other party with the background of the Ming Dynasty, but the chief is also a Mongolian hero who has not been born for a hundred years, and he can't concentrate all the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so he can't defeat him. ”

"Hongjie, what do you think I should do?"

The higher his position, the more carefully Shen Yichen had to consider the consequences of everything he did.

Cao Jixiang is different from ordinary officials, and if the officials outside the deep palace want to deal with him, there is basically no way to behead the thief and capture the king first. To put it mildly, Cao Jixiang is really frustrated, Shen Yichen is much easier to be killed by him in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the royal frame in the middle causes the two sides to be naturally unequal.

However, if the impeachment is verified through normal procedures, history has proved that Cao Jixiang will never be arrested, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Tengxiang Fourth Guard and Fifth Military Battalion, even if only the general is instigated to raise troops, there will be a bloody scene in the entire Beijing Division.

This is also different from dealing with Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng at the beginning, he saw that the "Qingjun side" was hopeless, so he simply admitted defeat, Cao Jixiang has no way out of eunuchs, and if he doesn't succeed, there is only a dead end, and there is a high probability that he will choose to fight to the death.

Just like many emperors in ancient times when they disposed of their ministers, it was not the ministers themselves who were afraid of them, but the destructive forces controlled by him behind them. If you can't solve the problem "without injury", many times you will choose to wait for the best time to make a move, after all, the loss is your own.

Feeling the hesitation and entanglement in Shen Yichen's heart, Zhao Hongjie was silent for a moment, and then replied with a resolute look on his face: "To the north, or Jinyiwei will do it in the palace like this." ”

"After all, Jinyiwei has the title of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and entering and leaving the palace will not arouse Cao Jixiang's vigilance and suspicion, as long as he seizes the opportunity to cut first and then play, even if His Majesty has the heart to protect it, it will not help."

"Even if you take a step back and say that Your Majesty is ready to hold you accountable, Jinyiwei can leave you alone without damaging the foundation of the imperial court."

Zhao Hongjie did come up with a "one-for-one" method, but as soon as his words fell, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Shen Yichen's face and said, "Take you to Cao Jixiang, he is not worthy of it." ”

"Hongjie, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, I will have a solution."

"But ......"

Zhao Hongjie wanted to say something, but there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the house, which attracted the attention of the two people.

It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open, and a team of brocade guards pressed a middle-aged man in an official robe to walk in, looking at the familiar face that appeared in front of him, Shen Yichen stood in place for a while, and his inner feelings were extremely complicated.

In fact, he had a vague premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.
