Zhang Shiyun, whose name is Conglong, is the youngest son of Zhang Sen, the secretary of the former military department, and the younger brother of his eldest aunt Zhang Panlong.

At the time of the accident in Zhangcha, he had heard Brother Defu talk about this person.

It is said that this person is Wu Xingbang's Xixi and is quite trusted by Wu Xingbang.

Xu Song has a relationship with him as a brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and it stands to reason that there should be more movement in Beijing.

But so far, the two have only met once, which can only show that both of them have a tacit understanding to avoid suspicion.

Thinking of this, Xu He said, "Can someone ask my uncle." ”

Xu Song's face hesitated, and after a while, he nodded: "Ask Xu Peng to send someone to take this thing!" ”

After speaking, he took off a jade pendant from his waist, then took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter with a few strokes, and asked Xu Peng to arrange it.

I couldn't sleep anymore, and the two of them waited until the fourth watch to come back.

Xu Song took the reply, opened it and frowned, "I don't know from the dragon!" ”

"It's me who wants to be bad, how does my uncle know about tonight!" Xu He shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Who knew that Xu Song shook his head and said: "No, every time Wu Xingbang goes to the duty house, he will wait in the carriage outside for consultation." When my letter passed, he probably had just returned home! ”

When Xu He heard this, his face suddenly turned strange.

Wu Xingbang did not discuss this matter with Zhang Shiyun.

Is this something he doesn't need to ask, or does he deliberately avoid it?

If it was the former, it was unlikely, after all, it involved Qin Yan, such an important matter, how could Wu Xingbang not discuss it with his advisers?

If it's the latter, then it's troublesome.

This matter can basically be concluded that Xu He's feeling is right, Wu Xingbang definitely not only targets Qin Yan, but even Xu Song, he also wants to target.

No, what is there to target Xu Song?

Although Xu Song was in charge of the military department in the imperial court, he had no protégés and former officials, so he could not pose any threat to Wu Xingbang at all.

If Wu Xingbang was not stupid, he would not have included Xu Song as a target at this time.

The more I think about it, the more confused I become.

Now that the two of them are asleep, they simply set up chess to pass the time.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky was slightly lit up outside.

In the alley outside the courtyard, there was also a voice gradually.

Xu Song was about to change into an official uniform and enter the palace.

Who knows, at this time, Xu Peng suddenly came in and said: "Uncle, someone dropped a letter and left!" ”

"Who?"

"It looks like it's from the palace!"

Xu Song took the letter and opened it, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he saw that there were only four words on the letter:

Night, Hidden Void!

Xu Song handed the note to Xu He, Xu He took it and frowned, "Is it Lu Xixing?" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Song nodded.

Xu He asked, "Uncle, what does this person mean?" ”

Xu Song said: "Your Majesty summoned Lu Xixing late at night, there is only one possibility-he wants to divinate or help the puppet!" ”

Xu He suddenly said: "In other words, Lu Xixing must know about this!" ”

"That's not right!"

"Lu Xixing is Wu Xingbang's person!"

Xu Song was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly realized after a while: "You mean to say that Wu Xingbang pressed Zhang Jingxian's script, in fact, to inform Lu Xixing. ”

"Yes, he guessed that His Majesty was going to inform Lu Xixing to enter the palace to ask for divination, and then colluded to list the standard answers to the questions the emperor wanted to ask, and finally ......"

Xu Song nodded.

The problem now is that although they know Wu Xingbang's calculations, they don't know what question Emperor Zhizheng asked.

However, in Xu He's opinion, there is no need to guess this kind of thing.

"Uncle, this matter is basically confirmed now, and we are also in his calculations!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"If it's for something else, go to Lu Xixing for something like this, you can do it through your uncle! There is no need to go through the trouble of looking for someone else, but the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better! ”

"Putting aside the Xixi who has been credited at home for many years and finding someone else, isn't this just being a thief?"

Xu Song suddenly realized: "Then he is targeting me?" What is going on? ”

"I don't know!"

Xu Song: "......"

"But it's certainly not good! Now if we want to break him, we also have a rut! ”

"How?" Xu Song asked curiously.

Xu He smiled: "Let's just leak this matter to Lord Shoufu?" We don't have many paths, but Shousuke-sama's path must be wild! ”

Xu Song couldn't help but smile and nodded Xu He and said, "You, there are really a lot of ghost ideas." ”

"Then tell me, who is the person in the palace who sent us the message?"

"There's no need to guess, it must be that Chen Hong. There weren't many people who could have approached the emperor, and we didn't have much to do with others......

Suddenly, Xu He stopped talking and looked at Xu Song fixedly.

Xu Song was curious: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu He did not reply.

Just when Xu Song thought that Xu He had fallen into evil and was ready to call Xu Peng to call the doctor, suddenly Xu He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, let's not move on to this matter!" ”

Xu Song was surprised: "Why did you change your mind?" ”

Xu He frowned and said, "Uncle, do you remember the last time we guessed that Chen Hong was His Majesty's person?" ”

"Hmm!"

"What if, this matter is also operated by His Majesty?"

"Hiss......" Xu Song gasped, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu He slowly analyzed: "Uncle, what do you think, when you receive Zhang Bingxian's transcript, you don't report it, but you go to Lu Xixing to make good words first, in case Your Majesty asks!" ”

"At this time, Chen Hong came to inform us about this."

"Then could Chen Hong be instructed by His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty has known this since he first entered the duty house!"

"And all this, the second assistant thought that he had acted in a good play, and it was His Majesty who really controlled this play!"

"If this assumption is true, then Your Majesty asked Chen Hong to inform us, that is, we will notify Shoufu if it is calculated."

Xu Song nodded: "In Lu Xixing's divination, there are words that are unfavorable to our Xu family, and it is very likely that it is loyal to Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty asked Chen Hong to deliver the letter, and verify Lu Xixing's words by observing whether we notify Qin Yan or not."

Xu He nodded and said: "We inform Qin Yan, in the eyes of Your Majesty, we have at least three major crimes, one is to figure out the holy will, the second is to collude with internal officials, and the third is to peep into the palace!" ”

"Your Majesty can't announce these three points to the public, but he must have made a note of it in his heart!"

Xu Song said: "Let's now, more things are better than less things, calm down, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" ”

Xu He nodded.

When the uncle and nephew discussed this, they suddenly found a chill on their backs.

Especially Xu He, before he felt like Emperor Zhizheng was still a middle-aged and gentle uncle, polite and very fond of enjoyment!

Now it seems that he still underestimates the political animal of the emperor.

Such a person, no matter how gentle he is, but when he deals with the ministers every day, his conscience has been greatly damaged!
