It's still raining outside.

Outside the gate of Caofu, there were two teams of soldiers facing each other at this time, and the team of soldiers far away from the gate of Caofu looked like there were more of them, and there were probably one or two thousand people by sight.

There are more than 1,000 soldiers standing in front of the gate of Cao's Mansion, this is the soldier brought by Liu Zhen, and many of the soldiers he brought are surrounding Cao's Mansion.

And most of the soldiers in the distance are also besieging Cao Mansion, but they are confronting the soldiers surrounded by Liu Zhen.

This soldier who confronted the soldiers and horses of Liu Zhen, the eunuch of Henan Province, was Huang Lian, the proud protégé of Cao Hui's former cabinet scholar, that is, the political envoy of Yu Province, the political envoy of the Yamen, in addition to the second person below the top governor of Yu Province on the surface.

The rain was not very heavy, and the political envoy of Yu Province held an umbrella to block the rain for him under one of his subordinates, and at this time he walked to the gate of Cao's mansion, and stopped in front of Liu Zhen's group of soldiers, and there was a general in front of those soldiers, who held the handle of his sword, standing upright.

"General Liu, are you really not going to get out of the way?" Huang Bu's face was gloomy and he was about to drip, his mentor was in the mansion, he wanted to protect his mentor, after all, his mentor Cao Hui and Cao Ge had only been old for more than a year, and the powerful political energy was almost intact.

Although Huang Lian is now ranked in the "second seat" of Yu Province, a proper second-in-command, he knows who he relied on to climb to such a high position, and he is the master of this mansion.

He still wants to continue to climb up, and he must rely on this person, so he must spare no effort to lead troops into Caofu to complete the will shown by his mentor.

The "General Liu" is Wuwei General Liu Hao, he also seems a little lacking in confidence in the face of Huang Bu's political envoy, but he still said: "I'm sorry Lord Huang, we are under the order of Liu Gonggong, the eunuch of Yu Province, and we can't leave a step here." ”

"Fuck you, you can't leave a step!" Political envoy Huang Bu is completely angry, his mentor is inside, and he can't get in at the door, how it is!

"This official is the political envoy of Yu Province, General Liu should not forget," he panted, "the country is coming to the civil official to control the military general, General Wuwei, do you want to rebel?" ”

Wuwei General Liu Hao immediately showed fear, but he still said stiffly: "We are under the orders of Gonggong Liu, the master of ceremonies. ”

Anyway, General Wuwei only bites himself but acts on orders, even if a civil and senior official wants to settle accounts with him afterwards, then he can also write a book to defend himself, and he is clearly what he is ordered to do.

"Good, good, good~!" Huang Buzheng laughed angrily, and said three good words in a row, "Since you have moved out of the celebrant supervisor, well, this official will show you something!" ”

As he spoke, he took out an official document from his arms, unfolded it awkwardly, handed it to Liu Hao's eyes, and said in a cruel voice: "You said that you were ordered by the celebrant supervisor, well, see clearly, this is the approval of the first assistant of the cabinet, Cao Ge Lao sacrificed a lot for the country, and the special officer led the troops to temporarily take over the old mansion of Cao Ge, which is inevitably harmed by villains."

See? This is the approval of the Cabinet! Huang Lian said coldly, looking at the sweat oozing from Liu Hao's forehead, he said fiercely:

"You said that the celebrant sent you, but now, as long as it is not the presence of Gonggong Cao, any person who is the celebrant must abide by his old man's decree when he sees this handwritten approval from the head of the court. The official asks you again, but you are willing to retreat?!! ”

Wuwei General Liu Hao is already sweating profusely, how can he not know that he is now roasted on the shelf, this is obviously the two most powerful yamen of the imperial court, the celebrant and the cabinet are wrestling and clashing on this matter.

And he obviously suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, although it is the approval of the cabinet in black and white from the Huang Bu political envoy, and it is also the approval written by Lord Shoufu himself, Shoufu, this is the official title, but the people, or officials privately call it "Prime Minister".

But that Liu Zhen and Liu Gonggong are not simple people, he already knows that although this Liu Gonggong does not have any official documents on paper, he came over by the personal order of the eunuch Lu Kun and Lu Gonggong.

Speaking of which, Gonggong Liu just doesn't have an official document here, but this is exactly the most important thing, who let the cabinet have an official document approved by Lord Shoufu himself?

Just when Liu Hao was already shaken and was thinking about which side to listen to, suddenly there was a sound of horses beating in the distance.

"Drive! Drive! ~”

The distant sound of horses approaching quickly.

Then he stopped his horse on the middle road of the two sides of the confrontation, and only came in the rain, led by a eunuch, he raised his eyes and glanced at the two sides of the confrontation, and then walked over quickly, and said to Liu Hao, the general of Wuwei:

"The letter brought by the celebrant Grandpa Lu came, asking our family to hand it over to Liu Zhen, the eunuch of Henan Province, and Grandpa Liu."

"Oh, father-in-law, please come in!" Liu Hao hurriedly got out of the way and let the soldiers let him go, Huang Lian, who was on the side, looked at the fire and shouted to Liu Hao: "This official has the handwritten approval of the first assistant!" ”

After watching those few people walk into the mansion, Liu Hao's waist was directly strengthened at this time, and he directly said to Huang Bu's political envoy with an expressionless face:

"I'm sorry, didn't you see it, Gonggong Lu of the celebrant also sent someone, we were ordered by the celebrant before, I'm really sorry, Lord Huang, you and your people can't enter!"

Inside the hall of the mansion.

"Father-in-law Liu, you really don't take the old man in your eyes, even if it's past noon now, but Liang Hong, the old man really has to be killed?!"

Huang Hui stared at Liu Zhen who was sitting opposite, and said through gritted teeth.

Liu Zhen didn't reply to his words, in fact, his action was to answer, just don't leave here, and besiege the entire Cao family's mansion.

As for the fact that it has already passed noon, in the afternoon, the county vegetable market mouth supervisor beheaded the platform, and did not kill people after noon, which means that people do not need to kill today, and the imperial court decree stipulates that the knife can only be beheaded at noon.

"Father-in-law Liu, the old man already knows that Huang Bu's political envoy is outside the gate, but he can't get in, and now the old man is going to see his protégé, you won't stop me too, right? You celebrants don't have the power to put the old man under house arrest, do you?!! ”

Saying that, Cao Hui got up suddenly, but he was about to walk towards the door of the hall regardless of it, Liu Zhen was suddenly a little panicked at this time, yes, the godfather didn't say that he wanted to put this former pavilion elder under house arrest, even if the godfather came over in person, he didn't have this power!

So Liu Zhen had no choice but to order, the generals and soldiers around him all followed Cao Hui with him, although it was not house arrest, but today he Liu Zhen fought hard, and that Liang Hong couldn't die!

Just as the two parties were about to leave the hall, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from outside, and then, in the eyes of everyone, a man dressed in eunuch clothes that could only be seen in the palace walked in, followed by several guards.

As soon as they came, the people present did not move, and the eunuch walked up to Liu Zhen, saluted him, and then took out a folded piece of paper from his underwear and handed it to him.

Liu Zhen took it, looked at the folded paper suspiciously, and then unfolded it, and after he saw the words on it clearly, his face suddenly showed a wonderful look, excited, melancholy, and finally relieved.

He looked at the person from the palace again and asked, "Can you bring a message from the palace?" ”

The eunuch immediately walked over and whispered in Liu Zhen's ear: "The emperor said ......."

Liu Zhen listened to the whispers of the eunuch, and his confidence in his heart suddenly doubled, he looked at Cao Ge Lao who was standing next to him, and suddenly handed him the paper in his hand, and said lightly: "The saint gave it to Liang Hong." ”

Cao Hui took the paper suspiciously, and when he looked at the words on it, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said in shock: "No, how is it possible?" How could he ?!!! ”

Cao Hui was already old, and at this time, under the shock, his body seemed to be unable to hold on, and fell backwards, his son Cao Ling saw it and hurried to help, but he was still a little slower, just grabbed his arm, and Cao Ge's old body still knocked over the coffee table and tea cup behind him.

Cao Ling hurriedly went to help him up, and Cao Ge still muttered to himself: "This, this is absolutely impossible!" ”

At this time, Liu Zhen said sympathetically beside him: "Elder Cao Ge, do you doubt the saint's handwriting?" ”

"Old ...... Old decay and faux pas! Cao Hui hurriedly handed the piece of paper back to Liu Zhen carefully, and then looked shaky again, but finally suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the paper in Liu Zhen's hand, and said: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Then everyone present, except for Liu Zhen standing there, all the people looked at the imperial paper in Liu Zhen's hand, and with Cao Ge Lao, he shouted loudly: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Liu Zhen didn't kneel, because this piece of paper was brought to him by the emperor first, obviously he was like a messenger, he didn't have to kneel.

Outside the gate, the political envoy Huang Bu was still arguing with the Wuwei general Liu Hao, and the political envoy Huang Bu had already decided to lead his troops to go in.

At this moment, a eunuch came over from the mansion, under the umbrella, handed a piece of paper to Huang Lian, the political envoy of Yu Province, and said something.

Huang Lian was a little stunned, but he still took the paper, unfolded it to see the contents clearly, and then his body went soft, and he collapsed directly into the mud, repeating incredulously in his mouth:

"Jane...... Jane is in the heart of the emperor! (Note 1)"

……………………………………………………

Note 1: "Jane in the Emperor's Heart" means that this is a person who the emperor thinks is good in his heart, and "Jane in the Emperor's Heart" is generally the ministers who will evaluate which colleague minister is favored by the emperor, so they all evaluate it as "Jane in the emperor's heart", but there has never been a time when the emperor said this to which minister.

- Now, now!
