At the end of the day, the General's Mansion was shrouded in an atmosphere of anxiety and silence.

The front house and the back house, blown by the autumn wind for several months, seem to be able to ignite a fire at any time.

The Huo party, led by Prime Minister Ren Gong, sat in the main hall of the general in unison, all with anxious faces.

This morning, after suffering losses in the front hall, they just went home to avoid people's eyes and ears, and they couldn't wait to come to the general's mansion.

I don't know why, in the past, when they came to the General's Mansion, they were always above board, but today there seem to be some thieves who are weak and seem to be afraid of something.

The strange atmosphere in the front hall gave them an indescribable worry.

The servants of the palace put hot tea on the table of these big people, but no one had the heart to drink it.

The tea was changed back and forth many times, and even the latest bowl was completely cold.

Ren Gong and the others waited anxiously, wanting to meet the general urgently.

But the fact that the general had not shown up for so long made them even more restless—as if there was not a soft couch under their buttocks, but a brazier filled with red coals.

"Prime Minister, what does this general mean, why has he refused to come out to see us for so long?"

This is the third time that Le Cheng has asked this sentence, and every time he asks, the anxiety on the face of the head of Jiuqing will increase by one point.

Prime Minister Ren Gong, who was sitting next to him, didn't speak, looking calm, but how could he not be anxious in his heart?

In addition to the general Huo Guang, he is now the backbone of the Huo Party in the court, so he must show a calm appearance.

Today, there are more than a dozen people from the Huo Party in the main hall, all of whom have participated in today's court meeting.

Even if it is the Great General's Mansion, so many important courtiers will inevitably attract discussion at once.

It is estimated that it will not be long before what happened in the front hall today will spread in Chang'an City, and I am afraid that there will be more rumors at that time.

Just like at this moment, the subordinate officials who come and go in the general's mansion, many of them will throw curious glances here when they pass by the main hall.

Ren Gong coughed vigorously a few times, so that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, and then he began to speak to stabilize the army's heart.

"Don't be impatient, the general had a cold before, I'm afraid he is still sick, and it is normal to recuperate for a while after the court meeting."

"It's not just a moment, it's ......"

Ren Gong didn't let Le Cheng continue, but preemptively cut off the topic and said: "There is a great general who is strategizing, what happened in the court today must be handled properly, let's not think nonsense." ”

After that, Ren Gong stood up and said to those Huo Dang who were not willing to give up: "Now it is not appropriate for me to attract attention anymore, all the princes have political affairs in their bodies, and they should not stay in the mansion for a long time." ”

"Jing Zhaoyin and You Fufeng immediately returned to the ya, sent pavilion guards to guard the passes everywhere, and if they encounter gangsters, they will be killed."

"Taichang Le Gong, Dasi Farmland Gong, and Zhijin Wu Su Gong can stay, and the rest of the princes will go back."

The rest of the Huo Dang were naturally reluctant, but in front of Ren Gong, they couldn't say no, and after making a salute, they all left in a hurry.

At that moment, the entire main hall was deserted, and the remaining core figures of the Huo Party could finally speak freely.

"Ren Gong, today in the court, what do Cai Yi and Zhang Anshi want to do?" Le Cheng asked bluntly.

"Now that there is no one here, there is no need to be too evasive, you and I have been boiling in the sea for a long time, and today's events should be able to see through it at a glance." Ren Gong said.

The rest of the people did not speak out immediately, Ren Gong was right, and the matter in the court today was obvious.

"Cai Yi, do they really want to seize the power of the general?" Le Cheng asked.

"Can Le Gong find any explanation?" Ren Gong said with his hands behind his back.

"This is self-defeating, the Shangguan family is a lesson from the past, how prominent the Shangguan family is, but it can't shake the general, let alone Cai Yi, the old Confucian."

Le Cheng said fiercely, as if he was going to chew Cai Yi with his two rows of teeth.

Before Ren Gong could speak, a yin and yang strange voice came from behind him.

"Hmph, Taichang can't help but make this matter too simple, don't you see the courtiers jumping in the palace, not just Cai Yi, but also Zhang Anshi, Bingji, Liu De......"

Ren Gong and a few others followed the sound and saw Tian Yannian, who was black and thin.

The latter was sitting on the couch, drinking the strong tea in the cup.

The face as black as charcoal, there was no anxiety, but some schadenfreude.

"Tian Gong is saying I'm clumsy?" Le Cheng said.

"I don't dare to say if Le Gong is clumsy, but now that he looks like this, he is too panicked, this is not like the demeanor of the head of Jiuqing."

A few people present immediately heard that Tian Yannian was talking about cool things - since Le Cheng surpassed Tian Yannian and became too often, the two of them have become rivals, and they once made a move because of the trivial matter of the carriage collision.

Since then, the two have gradually become incompatible rivals.

On weekdays, there are generals in charge, so they naturally don't dare to quarrel, but Ren Gong can't suppress them.

And Zhijin Wu Su Chang had just risen from the position of the head of the general's mansion to Jiuqing, and he knew that he had no room to speak.

Seeing that the situation was a little delicate, he was embarrassed a few times, so he silently stepped aside and sat back on his couch.

"Tian Yannian, what do you mean by this, my position of Taichang was personally promoted by the general, if you are dissatisfied, go and talk to the general."

"Hmph, although the general's eyes are like torches, it is inevitable that he will be blinded by the villain."

"If you really have the ability, you should share the worries of the general at this moment, instead of crying wolves here like a woman and shaking the hearts of the army!"

"You madman, how dare you ......" Le Cheng was so angry that his face was flushed, he raised his hand, and pointed at Tian Yannian tremblingly, unable to say the second half of the sentence.

After becoming too often, Le Cheng knew that he had received a lot of benefits, so he was also very measured, and he always hung up the exemption card for Tian Yannian's deliberate offense.

Today, Le Cheng was "frightened" in the court.

Now that I haven't seen the general, I'm already uneasy.

was so provoked by Tian Yannian, and his anger suddenly rose.

"The pavilion in the courtyard has a sword on his body, do you dare to go out with me to fight to the death?" Le Cheng finally squeezed out such a sentence.

"Reckless? That's the behavior of a puppeteer, and I'm a dignified farmer, and I don't despise seeing it like a puppet. ”

Tian Yannian didn't squint when he spoke, and after speaking, he picked up the half of the tea that was no longer hot, and pretended to blow it, without putting Le Cheng in his eyes at all.

Ren Gong saw that Le Cheng was furious, for fear that they would fight in this main hall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and blocked between the two.

"Everyone else has already come to the door, do the second dukes still want to kill each other?" Ren Gong said with a grim face, which finally made Le Cheng stop his hand.

"When we are crushed and scattered, and then all of them are scattered to the desolate and dry graves in Beichengguo, the second prince can still have a good time fighting for the rest of his life."

"Le Gong, sit on the couch over there, don't say useless words again, otherwise you will all go back at this moment, and I will wait for the general here!"

After a period of silence, Le Cheng finally sat down on the couch on the other side angrily.

For a while, the four people in the hall sat in the four corners, which made the entire main hall suddenly seem a little empty.

Compared to the scene when the general invited them to eat moon cakes, it was completely different.

Le Cheng's anger did not subside, Su Chang was at a loss, and Tian Yannian gloated......

Ren Gong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Huo Dang's most core people in the army are not there, and if the general does not show up again, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be completely dispersed.

The situation in the front hall today is extremely dangerous, and the hearts of men cannot be dispersed now.

Thinking of this, Ren Gong decided to stabilize the situation for the general first.

Ren Gong coughed a few times, and after breaking the embarrassing atmosphere around him, he said slowly: "Today's matter, whether it is Cai Yi's whim, or whether he has conspired with Zhang Anshi and others for a long time, is a great matter. ”

"Although the general is still resting, he will definitely come out later, if the general asks us for our opinion, how should we reply, this is what we have to think about at this moment."

Ren Gong's words made the anger of several people disappear a little.

That's right, the general can't hide all the time, after all, he has to come out to meet them.

"I think, let the general go to the greenhouse hall to see Your Majesty immediately, and let Your Majesty take back the edict." Le Cheng said.

"Let the Son of Heaven take back the edict first, and then find a reason to impeach Cai Yi, let this old thief go to prison, it is best to let his clan be wiped out, and then clean up Zhang Anshi and others one by one." Tian Yannian is more ruthless than Le Cheng.

"I think the same thing as Ergong." Su Chang hurriedly followed.

Ren Gong tapped the table lightly with his fingers, but did not speak immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ren Gong, you are the head of the hundred officials, what do you think about this matter?" Le Cheng asked.

"The method mentioned by the three of them, if it is placed in ordinary times, is the right way, but have you ever thought that there may be another mastermind behind this matter?" Ren Gong said.

"Another mastermind?" The rest asked.

Ren Gong didn't speak, but raised his hand and arched it towards his upper right.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the main hall of the General's Mansion cooled down.

The other three immediately understood what Ren Gong meant.

A lot of things are just that's weird.

When no one mentions it, they never think of it; Once someone mentions it, it feels extremely reasonable and normal.

"Ren Gong is saying that this matter has to do with the county ......" There was some horror in Su Chang's eyes, and this horror quickly spread to the eyes of several other people.

Su Chang didn't finish his words, and Ren Gong nodded in approval.

If the person behind this is the county official, then it's bad!
