Xu Xuan continued helplessly: "If it is really as you said, even if Feng Yansi doesn't know, who Zhang Yi and Zhang Shilang are, as we all know, he and Feng Yansi are real cousins.

If it is really a private total, it is not possible for others to have any association, and once the word "Ministry of Industry" appears on the silk book, Feng Yansi will no longer be able to get out of it.

Zhang Yi and He Jingzhu are both old slippery heads who have been in the court for many years, if they really want to do things, how can they be so rough? Feng Yansi is their biggest reliance, how could he lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot? ”

Shen Zhao nodded as if he didn't understand, and then frowned: "This matter is indeed too rough, but it is such a rough thing, Your Majesty will take it seriously." I can't help but think of Xu Xiang's earlier teachings, the more seamless things are, the more suspicious they are, and the more flawed things are, but they are credible. ”

Xu Xuan nodded and said, "What you said is very right, that's why I admire Li Yuan's methods." Your Majesty, that is the Son of Heaven who is ordered by heaven, so in his heart, the officials and the people are just mortals, and since they are mortals, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in doing things.

At present, Li Yuan deliberately caught His Majesty's psychology, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was obviously a clumsy trick to set up a situation, but in the eyes of His Majesty, it was not at all, for him, what Feng Yansi, Zhang Yi, He Jingzhu, are all mortals who can make mistakes. Of course, this is also the reason why we were able to successfully denounce Li Yuan's rebellion this morning, and the more perfect it is, the easier it is to suffer from jealousy. ”

"That's what Xu Xiang said." Shen Zhao arched his hand.

"The crux of the matter at the moment lies in that silk book." Xu Xuan took a heavy breath, and then figured out the token of the "Xingrouyi Palace" in his hand and said: "But I can't figure it out a little bit, although Young Eunuch Liu handed over this token to you, it must have been instructed by the queen." Zhang Yi is Zhang Guifei's cousin, the queen and the concubine have always had contradictions, Liu Shaojian and we must have wanted our officials to do something to compare the handwriting of silk books, and want to confirm the crime of Feng Yansi, Zhang Yi and others assassinating Li Yuan.

But Li Yuan dared to present the silk book, and asked Liu Jiangsheng to tell His Majesty about the case of Chuzhou's illicit salt, how could he not have imagined that His Majesty would order the handwriting to be checked? And because this matter involved Feng Yansi, the task of checking the handwriting naturally fell to the side of the prime minister.

We are mortal enemies with him now, even if the queen mother gets involved, no matter whether the silk book is true or not, as long as we don't cooperate, wouldn't Li Yuan be in vain, and there will be one more charge of falsely accusing the king? ......”

Shen Zhao's mind was spinning rapidly, but he didn't seem to be able to keep up with Xu Xuan's thinking at all, so he could only keep his eyes open in confusion.

"Obviously...... There is only one circumstance that Li Yuan dares to act like this, and that is to be sure that we will cooperate with him......" Xu Xuan said in a deep voice as he hammered the edge of the bed.

"Where did Li Yuan get his confidence? If it weren't for Young Supervisor Liu to reveal first, he would have already entered the palace in the next place, and with our unending relationship with him, even if the silk book is true, how can we follow his wishes? Shen Zhao asked confusedly.

"No, this is Li Yuan's cleverness! When Liu Jiangsheng entered the palace, it was estimated that he had passed the anger with Liu Shaojian, and the competition for favor in the harem was often more tragic than the battle in the court, and the queen heard the name of Zhang Shilang, and probably would not let go of the good opportunity to step on Zhang Guifei. But that's not the point, because there's a lot of variable.

The focus is still on us, if the prime minister makes a fuss about this silk book now and accuses Li Yuan of staging a good scene of assassination, we will inevitably break with Li Yuan openly, and Li Yuan's intention to rebel has not yet been confirmed, and if His Majesty is angry, I am afraid that the imperial court will also officially start a war with Li Yuan. Don't forget that His Royal Highness King Zheng is still in his hands, and it will be a lose-lose situation.

The winner, who is the ultimate beneficiary, is naturally Feng Yansi, and only Feng Yansi. ”

Shen Zhao finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and sweat broke out on his head.

"What does Xu Xiang mean is that it should be tacitly understood that there must not be a lose-lose situation? Then we can only cooperate with Li Yuan? ”

"Exactly, when each other sees through each other's schemes, it is actually holding each other's handles. As long as we cooperate with the handwriting, Li Yuan will definitely let His Royal Highness King Zheng return safely, so that they will contain each other and cancel each other, and they will be safe.

Didn't you say it, Young Eunuch Liu mentioned that Liu Jiangsheng said to His Majesty about the two things he came to Beijing, one of which was to discuss with the imperial court to escort His Royal Highness back to Beijing, so we must not rely on this silk book to make trouble, otherwise it is very likely to backfire on our own bodies. ”

Shen Zhao swallowed his saliva and exclaimed: "This Li Yuan is really terrifying, and in the year of the crown, he is so scheming, it is really creepy." ”

Xu Xuan said: "Of course, maybe Benxiang thought too much and overestimated him." Maybe he didn't think about it at all, but his poor planning revealed flaws. But in any case, the prime minister doesn't want to take this risk, His Royal Highness King Zheng can't have an accident, and the great business he has worked so hard to manage can't be ruined in the hands of this person. In the future, I can only act with the camera, and I will definitely find another opportunity to get rid of him, in the end, no one is perfect, and I really don't believe that he can be proud for a lifetime. ”

Shen Zhao sighed and nodded silently.

Xu Xuan looked at Shen Zhao with a blank face and said, "You don't have to be too depressed. Although we were forced to follow Li Yuan's wishes out of desperation, it is not a good thing for us to be able to take this opportunity to strike at Feng Yansi's arrogance. In the end, it has only been a few months since the prime minister has been in power, and Feng Yansi has been following His Majesty since the time of the hidden dragon, and his power is not comparable to the original phase.

Don't look at him trying to win us over now, in fact, everything has to be pressed against us. What's more, with this matter, we can also deepen the relationship with the Middle Palace, and if His Royal Highness King Zheng wants to succeed to the throne, the support of the queen is also indispensable. ”

Shen Zhao hurriedly said: "But if we help Li Yuan this time, won't we offend Feng Yansi on the surface?" ”

"Not really. We have always attached great importance to His Royal Highness King Zheng, and he Feng Yansi is not ignorant. Don't worry, Feng Yansi doesn't dare to tear his face with us at the moment, the more powerful he is, the more afraid he is of losing everything he has.

Over the years, the Feng family brothers have set up a lot of strong enemies, and now his brother Feng Yanlu has been captured in the Zhou State again, which is equivalent to losing an arm, if he loses our ally again, I am afraid it is not worth it. ”

"I don't know what Your Majesty will do with Feng Yansi, after all, after all, his name does not appear on the silk book, it is estimated that His Majesty will still open his net to ......him," Shen Zhao shook his head helplessly.

Xu Xuan sighed, slowly put the token in his palm, put it in the wooden box at the head of the bed, turned his head and said, "This matter is over, you can go to the palace!" After checking the handwriting, let's wait and see what happens. The prime minister concluded that it would not be long before His Royal Highness King Zheng would return safely. ”

"Obey the order!" Shen Zhao nodded slowly, and then asked, "Xu Xiang, but what was discussed by the court this morning, did you say that Your Majesty would withdraw his will to send troops into Chu?" ”

Xu Xuan said lightly: "This incident happened tonight, and it doesn't make a difference whether you take it back or not...... Look, Feng Yansi and them, especially Wei Cen, will be furious when they learn about this, and they will wait to see what happens. Starting tomorrow in the morning, the prime minister will officially say that he will not participate, you can obey Feng Yansi in everything, follow his wishes, let him carry it, no one should speak out, no one should object. ”

Shen Zhao arched his hand and said, "I understand." What else does Xu Xiang command, just follow and say, do it down. ”

Xu Xuan said: "I need you to run errands in two days, this matter is not in a hurry, the prime minister has his own opinions." ”

Shen Zhao nodded yes, Xu Xuan said for so long, obviously a little in good spirits, just when the old housekeeper entered the room to remind Xu Xuan that he needed to rest, Shen Zhao hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "Xu Xiangduo take care, you must have a good rest, if there is a sending, you will be notified below." I went to the palace under it! ”

Xu Xuan squinted his eyes and opened his mouth, waved his hand and said, "The housekeeper sent Shen Shilang." ”

Shen Zhao bowed and withdrew, accompanied by the housekeeper, and sent out of the house, Xu Xuan returned to a state of seeming to be asleep.

The rain has not stopped, the candles are shaking, and the night is dark.

The lights in Jinling City are dim, I don't know how many people stay up all night, I don't know how many people are thinking about the big things related to their lives, and I don't know how many big things are about to happen......
