It was two o'clock in the night, and the sky was filled with goose-feathered snowflakes that made a rustling sound.

There was not a single figure in sight in the wide street, and a lone carriage pulled out from the corner of the street, pressing two deep rut marks on the white ground, and the crunch it made was quickly drowned out by the cold wind.

Bang bang, there was a sharp knock at the back door of the palatial Wei Mansion.

The butler, who had been waiting behind the door, pulled the bolt of the door, then carefully opened the door a crack, and with the help of the lantern in his hand to see the comer, he opened the door completely.

Luo Sigong, who was dressed in civilian clothes, patted the snow on his body, exhaled a breath of white air, thanked him, and then quietly stuffed a meeting ticket into the butler's hand.

The housekeeper took it skillfully, and then walked to the inner courtyard with Luo Sigong with a smile.

In the brightly lit inner courtyard hall, Wei Zhongxian lay lazily on a wooden bed, with a warm charcoal basin next to the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating under the service of two maidservants.

The housekeeper walked in, waved away the maidservant casually, and then bowed his head and said in Wei Zhongxian's ear: "Master Chitose, Luo Sigong is here." ”

Wei Zhongxian slowly opened his eyes, sat up with the help of the housekeeper, and then said lightly: "Please come in, Lord Luo." ”

Obviously, Wei Zhongxian knew that Luo Sigong would come to visit in the evening, because after Luo Sigong returned from the palace, he quickly sent a message to the Wei Mansion.

After Luo Sigong was ushered in, he immediately knelt down to Wei Zhongxian and saluted: "Xiaguan Luo Sigong, I have seen the Chitose Master." ”

Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Luo, don't be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Luo Sigong stood up cautiously, and his attitude was very respectful.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Luo Sigong, who was a little wet on his body, and sighed meaningfully: "Oh, Banzai wants to return Jinyiwei from our family, and it will be given to Lord Luo, it seems that Lord Luo is deeply valued by Banzai, much stronger than those children in our family." ”

Luo Sigong's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the Chitose Lord, long live to reactivate the lower officials, because the lower officials had a small contribution in the Wanli Aid War to Korea, long live hope that the lower officials will use the same method to deal with Jianyu, so they summoned the lower officials into the palace to confer their posts." ”

"The lower official excused himself several times, but long live said that this was what Taizu meant, and the lower official couldn't shirk it, so he reluctantly accepted it."

After that, he reported his conversation with Tianqi in detail to Wei Zhongxian in detail.

Wei Zhongxian listened carefully, glancing at Luo Sigong from time to time.

Luo Sigong responded carefully, weighing his words, for fear of accidentally offending the leader of the eunuch party.

Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied with Luo Sigong's attitude, and learned from Luo Sigong's account that Banzai had no intention of using Jinyiwei against him, and he would not turn over the old accounts.

Jinyiwei was handed over to Luo Sigong again, also to prepare for resisting Jian's invasion.

Coupled with the shadow of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang behind this, Wei Zhongxian still believes it.

Immediately, his mind became heavy.

Because he has a large number of private properties such as granges outside the city of Jingshi, if you count the entire eunuch party, it will be even more, if Jianyu really detours to Mongolia to enter the Kou, even if he can't enter the Jingshi, his losses will be very heavy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down, got off the wooden bed, and thought about it as he paced.

Luo Sigong stood still, waiting for Gonggong Wei's instructions.

Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian turned around, looked at Luo Sigong, and said seriously: "Lord Luo, Taizu started from the end of Wei, and used his soldiers like a god, successively defeated various opponents and expelled Beiyuan. His old man's vision is incomparable to us. ”

"Since Taizu said that Jianyu will make a detour to Mongolia to enter the Kou, it must be true, you must do your best, and you must not take it lightly. If you encounter trouble, we will do our best to help you. ”

Hearing this, Luo Sigong was shocked and immediately overjoyed.

The purpose of his initiative to come to visit tonight was to show his position and attitude, and he would not become an enemy with Gonggong Wei, so as to dispel Gonggong Wei's doubts, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy.

He didn't think that Gonggong Wei was deceiving himself, there was no need.

If there is the help of Grandpa Wei, it will be much more convenient to act on his own.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian naturally did not have any good intentions, but had his own calculations.

He knows very well that his godsons, suppressing dissidents, and fabricating accusations, are okay, if they really let them spy on the enemy, and even attack behind enemy lines, they are definitely not Luo Sigong's opponents.

At this time, there is no need to compete with Luo Sigong for the power of Jinyiwei, and it is the top priority to protect Daming's face and protect his private property.

As long as he repels Jianyu, Luo Sigong has no value, and it is not too late to find a way to get rid of him.

"Lord Luo, it's cold, come and roast."

After the two sides talked, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Immediately, Luo Sigong took the initiative to ask Wei Zhongxian for advice, and he should plan to Banzai who would take over the vacant position of Jinyiwei.

Wei Zhongxian was even more satisfied with his attitude and was not polite.

……

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, although Tianqi was lying on the bed, he did not rest.

Because every night before going to bed, he would discuss some of his thoughts and things to do during the day with Zhang Yan.

In addition to Zhang Yan's intelligence, but also because of the huge palace, there are only a handful of people he can fully believe.

At the same time, he also wanted to find someone to talk to, his pressure was really great, he had to disguise himself well in front of outsiders, and only in front of Zhang Yan could he relax.

Zhang Yan was very moved, His Majesty kept his heart to the most trusted Kebaba and Wei Zhongxian, but confided it all to himself, which was a great trust.

She could feel His Majesty's helplessness and suffering, because His Majesty had truly realized the crux of Da Ming's crux and the great threat of Jian Qiang.

Therefore, at this time, in addition to listening carefully, she will also help analyze from her own point of view.

Zhang Yan stretched out her hand to hold the palm of the apocalypse, and said softly: "Your Majesty, is it possible for Lord Luo to communicate with the eunuchs?" After all, he has been scared off by the eunuchs once before, and he has been very low-key in the past few years. ”

"His Majesty has given orders several times, but he has refused to resign, probably not because he has no intention of commanding the Jinyi Guard, but because he is still full of fear of the eunuchs."

"Although he was finally ordered, there is no guarantee that he will move closer to the eunuch party, after all, there are not a few people who have switched to the eunuch party under the obscenity of the eunuch party over the years."

Zhang Yan really deserves to be a talented woman who has read history books a lot, and instantly saw the idea of the problem.

Apocalypse liked this gentle and intelligent queen wife more and more, and stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms and said: "I have thought about it, so I didn't say a word against Wei Zhongxian, and even made it clear that I wouldn't let Jinyiwei go through old accounts, let alone let them deal with Wei Zhongxian." ”

Zhang Yan's head was close to Tianqi's chest, and she seemed to be able to hear Tianqi's heartbeat, and she said happily: "In this way, as long as Wei Zhongxian believes that Jianyu will make a detour to Mongolia to enter the army, he should not attack Luo Sigong, who is capable and so obedient, at this time." ”

"Maybe we'll lend a hand. After all, in this land of Gyeonggi, there are a lot of private property of Father-in-law Wei, can he watch it being ruined by Jianyu? ”

Tianqi stroked Zhang Yan's jet-black hair, and said with emotion: "With such a good wife, I actually liked a pile of wood before, what a great sin." ”

"I'm going to make amends."

After that, he suddenly turned over and pressed the lovely man in front of him directly under him.
