After glancing for a moment, Cao Qichang's eyes dimmed, and he sighed:

"Our prince of the prison country, he underestimated him too much before, killed Chen Huaiyuan in the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, publicly arrested Wang Baoquan in the Political Affairs Hall, and went to the East Palace to behead Gu Xuanhui, and killed decisively. It's a pity that they are all the backbones of the Prime Minister's camp, and they die worthlessly, they are all disrespectful and despise the imperial power. ”

Chief Staff Jia Gongwang hesitated for a moment, and then stated:

"Gu Xuanhui and Chen Huaiyuan have the same fate, not only did they die, but also affected the pond fish, Qianniuwei is raiding his home, all property is confiscated to the treasury, and all family members and people of the three clans are expelled from Beijing, and no one is allowed to return to the capital."

"Such a thunderous method makes many people on our side a little panicked, Xiangye, do we want to play His Majesty the Emperor, let the prince restrain a little, or take some means?"

"Convergence... Means? ”

Cao Qichang frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

"The prince is in high spirits at this time, anyone wants to stop him, or disrespect him, he will be desperate to eradicate it, and it is impossible to restrain it."

Jia Gongwang said smoothly:

"The lower officials can't understand it, the crown prince Yuanzhi just started to supervise the country, he didn't ascend the throne, and he monopolized the power, but he dared to confront the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces? Even Emperor Jiye sometimes had to compromise with the court of the Five-Prime Minister's Cabinet. ”

"There's something I can't understand about this." Cao Qichang picked up the ginseng soup porcelain bowl again, blew it and lowered his head to take a few sips, and then said:

"His Majesty the Emperor compromised with us, that is, he understood in his heart that the overall situation outside the capital is the overall situation, for the sake of the overall situation, make necessary concessions and trade-offs in the court, this is a political game, and the prince is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he is in power, he needs to be powerful, who can he listen to?"

"Another important point is that their father and son played a set of combination punches, the prince rushed in front, the emperor broke off, and when the time came, it was really uncontrollable, and the emperor came forward to clean up the mess, negotiate with Cao Fu, and launch King Jin as the prince."

Dugucheng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and complimented:

"In the final analysis, letting the prince supervise the country is actually a farce between their father and son, and in the end, I have to ask your father-in-law to come forward and clean up the mess."

"You can't say that, I'm afraid that Yuan Zhi will rush left and right, and he will really be killed out of the encirclement and find a way out, then it will be troublesome, you haven't heard, yesterday at noon, the prince Weifu paid a private visit to Guo's mansion, saying that it was a marriage proposal."

Jia Gongwang hit the nail on the head and pointed out the crux of the problem.

"What, the prince arrived at the Guo Mansion?"

Cao Qichang was shocked when he heard this, and he was so angry that he almost squirted out the ginseng soup he was swallowing.

Jia Gongwang hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, "Don't worry, there is always a countermeasure for everything." ”

Cao Qichang coughed a few times, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, gasped a few times, stared at Jia Gongwang, and said with a little doubt:

"This must be the will of Emperor Jiye, Guo Wei has been suppressed in recent years, far away from the court, and he doesn't even participate in the court twice a month, could it be that he wants to return to the court and wade into a pool of troubled waters?"

"According to the report, Guo Wei warmly received the prince and promised this family business, but I heard that Miss Guo San's Xiuniang seems to be reluctant to do this family business, and the details need to be further investigated." Jia Gong said.

Cao Qichang listened, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"We must not let the prince's family business succeed, at least delay it for some time, the longer the better, if Guo Wei firmly stands on the prince's side, it will be quite unfavorable to our situation outside the capital."

"Guo Wei has a high prestige in the military, especially Guo Xiang's title of the imperial military god, plus there are many generals in the two generations of Guo's father and son, and he is still in office, his blessing, the power of the prince's side is like a tiger."

"So what to do?" Jia Gongwang asked.

"Immediately send someone into the palace and tell the queen mother, try to prevent the prince from marrying the concubine, the emperor's dragon body is not safe, and the Zongren Mansion listens to the queen's mother, and the dowry list needs to be stamped with the queen's jade seal."

"Second, try to send someone close to Miss Guo Jiasan, try to say as much as possible about the prince's various wrongs, in short, to make this political marriage estranged and prevent the Guo family from siding with the prince."

Cao Qichang was a little anxious, and he felt that the situation had changed subtly.

"Oh yes, father-in-law, there was an incident in Wangchun Pavilion in the afternoon, the prince of Weifu's private visit actually went to the Autumn Poetry Society, and as a result, there was a fight..."

"Brawl, is it the prince?" Dugucheng was just halfway through speaking, which aroused Cao Qichang's interest.

"Yes, but..."

"What can be... The prince of the prison country instigated his subordinates to beat people in public, and in front of the majority of literati and scholars, insulting the royal face, the prince's Sven, Mr. Jia, this matter should make a big fuss, and let the world's scholars know that the prince of the dynasty is a philistine with bad conduct and lack of cultivation. ”

"Understood." Jia Gongwang hurriedly agreed.

"But father-in-law, one of the brawls is the third prince and the bodyguards of the Cao Mansion." Dugucheng finally finished speaking.

"What, what do you say? It was Yanqiu who led people to conflict with the prince's side, what was the result? Cao Qichang was shocked, raised his buttocks, and wanted to stand up.

All of this came together tonight, startling him with nervousness, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"The result is..."

Dugucheng truthfully reported what he learned about the incident to Cao Qichang.

"You said it was Yanqiu, they besieged the prince's side first... And then Jin Wuwei Liu Tianlai rushed to the scene to deal with it? ”

"Yes, the third prince and their group, I just sent someone to Jingzhaoyin Prison and took them all out." Dugucheng said.

"What... What, you took Yanqiu and them out of Jing Zhaoyin's prison? You... You bastard! ”

When Cao Qichang heard this, he jumped up from the couch chair in anger, pointed at Dugucheng's nose, scolded loudly, and almost slapped his ears and threw him over.

"It's... What's wrong... Father-in-law? ”

Dugucheng instinctively took a step back and looked at Cao Qichang in astonishment.

He rarely saw his father-in-law scolding in public.

Although Cao Qichang was also a military general in the early days, he had a good temperament, and he has been in phase all these years, and he attaches great importance to his image cultivation.

But tonight is very special, and the bad news is that one after another, his cultivation has been corrupted to the extreme.

"Xiangye, please calm your anger, your body is important, the young master doesn't understand the deep meaning of this matter, he acts according to the usual practice."

Jia Gongwang hurriedly stepped forward to 'extinguish the fire', he comforted Cao Qichang on the one hand, and replied to Dugu Mountain on behalf of the master.

"Young master, you may not understand the profundity of this matter, this is the 'pit' dug by the prince Yuanzhi, specifically leading the Cao Mansion into the pit, think about it, the three princes and they besieged the prince of the state of the dynasty with weapons, which is a major crime of rebellion, but you let people go privately, as long as the prince is on the side of Emperor Ming, not only will the prince have something to do, but also the prince Liu and Lord Jingzhao Yin, as well as a large number of officials related to the people."

"Ahh Is it that serious? ”

Dugucheng was shocked, he glanced at Jia Gongwang, and then turned his gaze to Cao Qichang.
