Jia Gongwang opened his mouth and said:

"Xiangye, let's talk about the first thing, that is, the dismissal of Lord Yu of the Ministry of War, and Guo Wei's succession, can be said to be a serious weakening of the strength of our camp, and this is by no means a good sign, for this reason, we should react, and it is strong."

"Strong?"

Without waiting for the master to speak, Cao Qichang put down the tea bowl in his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it also like Yu Fu, making an assassination farce?" ”

"You already know this? It's ridiculous. Jia Gongwang said in surprise.

This kind of assassination event, no matter when and where, Cao Qichang will definitely know about it as soon as possible.

He has more than one intelligence channel.

"Hmph, not only is it ridiculous, it's also stupid." Cao Qichang clenched his fists, his face was gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied.

In such a major event, he even made an argument without first communicating with him.

Even though he is his brother-in-law, he will never allow it.

Yu Fu has a lot of opinions on Cao Fu's recent reaction, thinking that it is too weak and powerless, which makes the prince unscrupulous.

Yu Kefan's assassination organized this time hurriedly chose to be in Funing Palace, if it was an assassination, it was better to say that it was a warning.

is not only a warning to the crown prince, but also a warning to Cao Qichang not to only take care of his own interests, but not to his allies, especially his brother-in-law.

Originally, the assassins wanted to make a move on the corridor after the prince left the Shulan Palace, so they lurked in the back garden.

People are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect the queen and the prince to go to the back garden for a walk to admire the moon, and the guards needed to clear the scene in advance, but they found the assassin hidden in the garden.

The assassination soon turned into a farce, and it ended in a huff.

"This assassination line has been put aside in advance, you say, what should we do on our side in response to Guo Wei's appointment?" Cao Qichang is very calm, and he is good at grasping the main contradictions.

"We can't let him take office easily, start to rectify the internal, eliminate dissidents, let's immediately make some moves in northern Xinjiang, and let him be busy coping."

"Northern Xinjiang? Be specific. ”

"We intend to let the Western Turks launch an attack on the Eastern Turks, and the Eastern Turkic tribes will flee to our borders, and the Eastern Turkic Khanate will definitely send envoys to ask for help from our court." Jia Gong looked at it in his chest, and he immediately offered a plan.

"Well, this is a wonderful move, enough for Yuan Zhi and Guo Wei to drink a pot, especially when natural disasters are at their disposal, this is internal and external troubles."

Cao Qichang nodded yes, in a good mood, "The prince suddenly pardoned Yanqiu and them, what does Mr. Jia think is the intention?" How do we respond? ”

Jia Gongwang rubbed his hands and feet, and said with a smile:

"This is first of all due to the queen's heart, although the prince has gained a foothold in the capital, but he knows his strength, and he is hard with the prime minister, not to mention that he can't get the benefits, infighting often weakens the national strength, making the vassal king and foreign forces ready to move."

"What the prince is worried about is also what we are afraid of, since he has shown kindness, then we have to show something, and come and not be rude. In the opinion of the following officials, it is time for you to come forward in person. ”

"Hmm!"

Cao Qichang nodded thoughtfully and said yes, at this time, he came forward, just right.

He was thinking about the number of courtesies, the conversations, and the opinions to be expressed, and what he would ultimately achieve.

"There is one more thing, the prince not only wants to participate in the court gathering, but also to restore the daily morning court, isn't this weakening the power of the prime minister, Mr. Jia, what do you think." Cao Qichang still has a trace of doubt.

Jia Gongwang glanced at his master and smiled bitterly, "This prince is sharp, high and high, he seems to be determined to win the throne, Xiangye, in the opinion of the lower officials, we must adjust our strategies and tactics in time." ”

"What do you mean by that, to be specific?"

Cao Qichang was very interested, and he couldn't wait.

Jia Gongwang habitually began to pace again, and said:

"A few months ago, we were going to get rid of the prince by poisoning, but people are not as good as heaven, not only did the prince not die, but he lived out his spirit, so there was a collective impeachment of the palace, but this just offended the reverse scale of Emperor Jiye."

"So, Emperor Jiye did the opposite, ready to let Yuan Zhi Jianguo try, dead horse as a live horse doctor, really can't work, and then depose Yuan Zhi, let the King of Jin be the prince is not too late, at the same time, he promoted Niangniang to the queen, one is to ease the contradictions, to give Yuan Zhi Jianguo a respite, and the other is to be the prince of the Jin Dynasty, secretly paving the road, the saint is killing two birds with one stone, and it is harmless to the country, it is really a clever move."

"For Yuan Zhi Jianguo's rule, we were mentally paralyzed, made a mistake of underestimating the enemy, seriously underestimated his courage to break through the cauldron and his wisdom and courage, and did not nip it in the bud in time."

"In the past month, the prince, who originally had nothing, unknowingly opened up a world and gained a firm foothold in the capital.

"If we say that a month ago, we were fully capable of strangling Yuan Zhi in the cradle, and now, it has been deduced into a confrontation between the two sides, and they want to destroy him, unless they make a big move, such infighting in the court may be that we and Yuan Zhi will both lose, and foreign forces and the vassal king will benefit, which is a result that neither the royal family nor we want to see."

"Therefore, the current strategy of struggle between us and the crown prince should be adjusted to a tug-of-war with a quick victory, ostensibly to pretend to support the crown prince and the state, and if necessary, to support his decision-making, so as to regain the trust of Emperor Jiye."

"During this period, only Yuan Zhi made major decision-making mistakes, coupled with our encouragement, so that the emperor himself felt that the crown prince was incompetent, not the courtiers coerced, and at the same time, as the Jin king got older, let him often fulfill his filial piety in front of His Majesty's bed, and enhance his feelings."

"For the crown prince Yuanzhi, in addition to the impediment of the government and politics, you can also use the forces of the rivers and lakes to encircle and suppress outside the capital, and take a multi-pronged approach, so that you will not have a chance to get rid of him in a few years, but one thing is clear, that is, the Cao Mansion will be controlled behind the scenes in the future, and it will never be a charge in front of the stage."

In a tirade, Jia Gongwang first summed up the lessons and lessons of the previous stage, and then threw out the future struggle strategy of the Cao Mansion, which was very thorough.

With Cao Qichang's knowledge and experience, it is easy to understand Master Jia's good intentions and forward-looking strategy.

"Well, Mr. Jia said it in a timely manner, and the Prime Minister agreed to adjust our strategy according to this policy, and the political entanglement between the cabinet and the East Palace has changed from open resistance to covert companionship, pay attention to the tactics of struggle, and on these things, the Minister's staff office will draw up a written plan, and in the form of secret letters, it will be communicated to the officials above the third rank in Beijing, as well as the yamen of the state capitals."

"Xiangye Mingjian, the lower official will start to arrange it."

After speaking, Jia Gongwang exited the Dongyuan study and walked towards the staff mansion.

Cao Qichang watched Master Jia leave, thought for a moment, and called Dugucheng in.

"Prepare the chariot, the old man is going to the East Palace."

Dugu Cheng immediately went to make arrangements.

A stick of incense, when the prime minister's chariot procession, very standardized, low-key to the east palace in the palace city.
