In Jinling City, a teahouse under the root of the imperial city.

Zhang He, who was dressed as an ordinary servant, led Jiang Ning, who was dressed as a son-in-law, to the private room on the second floor.

Let Zhang He stay outside the door, Jiang Ning pushed the door in alone, and saw a big man sitting in his position.

Seeing him coming, Dahan hurriedly got up and said:

"Xiaguan Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Xiang Yuan, I have seen Lord Jiang."

"You don't have to be polite to your lordship, sit down."

Jiang Ning sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said:

"I saw Lord Xiang at the dock the day before yesterday, and I know your mind.

immediately sent someone to quietly inquire and respond, and now it can be regarded as a meeting. ”

Xiang Yuan accompanied him cautiously and said: "It's really an extraordinary time, you need to be cautious and cautious." ”

Jiang Ning frowned.

He had already wondered why he had gone through such a big effort, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.

"Please tell me directly."

Xiang Yuan immediately explained:

"My lord doesn't know, the movement you made in Suzhou and Hangzhou a while ago has already reached the capital.

The celebrant supervisor, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are already sitting still.

As a result, they made a plan to bring down the adults, and even Zhang Shengzhang, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, also participated. ”

"Zhang Sheng?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Ning's mouth.

This old thing got the news that Zhang Mingyu was killed by his own hands, how could he not hate him to the bone.

"Go on."

"Yes."

Xiang Yuan answered, and continued to tell the story.

Jiang Ning listened, and then he understood.

Na Mu Bin was jealous and dissatisfied with him, and wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate him for the sake of power.

But Zhang Cai, the envoy of Beizhen, who was under his command, didn't think so, and was also very dissatisfied with Jinyiwei's order to fully cooperate with Dongchang's action.

At this time, Miao Kui, who got the news, immediately contacted him several times, successfully rebelled, and prepared to counteract the East Factory and Jinyiwei together with the inner factory.

It's just that he Jiang Ning is not in the capital, and the inner factory has no leader.

Miao Kui and Zhang Cai couldn't go south in person, so they thought of a way, that is, to contact Xiang Yuan, who was also dissatisfied with the situation, and inform him of the matter when he came to Nanjing.

It's a pity that Mu Bin, Wang Yue, and Fan Heng have little idea of the specific plan.

However, this still made Jiang Ning very vigilant, and began to think about how to take advantage of this great opportunity to win Dongchang and Jinyiwei in one fell swoop.

At this time, Zhang He suddenly walked in.

He leaned into Jiang Ning's ear and whispered, "My lord, Director Zhou is here." ”

Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly froze.

He immediately said goodbye to Xiang Yuan and left the teahouse.

After returning to Xingyuan, Jiang Ning saw Zhou Songzheng's face full of anxiety, looking like he couldn't sit still.

"Your Excellency, you're back."

Zhou Song quickly got up, walked over and said, "The capital is in turmoil. ”

"What's going on? But is it related to Dongchang and Jinyiwei? ”

"Your Excellency knows?"

Jiang Ning nodded:

"When I met Xiang Yuan, the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town, he intended to surrender and informed me of the matter.

It's just the specific inside story, but I don't know anything. I wanted to send someone to investigate, but I didn't want Director Zhou to come just now. ”

"I see."

Zhou Song paused and continued:

"Do you remember that your subordinates sent someone to tell you that Your Majesty is addicted to fun and doesn't think about the government?"

"Naturally, I also called Zhang He to summon and ask you to closely monitor the court."

"After the subordinates were instructed, they probed day and night.

Finally, I heard that it was a few chamberlains, and suddenly took refuge in Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others, and bewitched them to make His Majesty happy with fun, so that they could be as powerful as adults.

And these eight people actually listened and believed, and really did so.

Since then, His Majesty has been out of control and has completely abandoned the government.

As a result, the ministers of the outer court are thinking of killing them all and purging the ministers around His Majesty.

Even ......"

"Even I'm in it, isn't it?"

Jiang Ning smiled.

"Yes, as the news from the palace spread to the people, there was gradually a saying that it was instructed by adults.

In order to make His Majesty tired of the government, in order to do the things of the ministers. ”

"What a big name."

Jiang Ning's smile gradually became sarcastic.

Zhou Song took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said:

Later, the subordinates listened to the instructions of the adults and found an opportunity to make secret contact with Zhou Shangzhou's father-in-law, and finally got their full plan.

The subordinates didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly came to find the adult. ”

"How's the plan?"

"The celebrant eunuch, Dongchang and Jinyiwei conspired, first lured Liu Jin and others to bewitch His Majesty, and then framed the adult.

In this way, the hundred officials can write to His Majesty and ask for the disposal of the adults.

When His Majesty refused, they relented and begged His Majesty to take the Lord into custody for investigation.

In order to block Youyou's mouth, His Majesty had to agree.

At that time, when the factory guards arrested the adult, they could kill the adult on the spot on the charge of resisting arrest.

As soon as the adult dies, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others can also be easily taken. ”

When Jiang Ning heard this, instead of being angry, he stroked his palms and laughed:

"Good, good! It's really a clever plan!

It is also difficult for them to lay out such a big situation for Jiang Mou.

What an honor this official has! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned:

"Zhang He, get some wine and food, I want to have a drink with Director Zhou.

It's so fast, and the taste of no alcohol is missing. ”

Zhang He answered and hurriedly left.

Zhou Song arched his hand and said, "Seeing that the adults are so confident, but they already have the means to fight back?" ”

"It's just some rudiments, and I'm about to discuss it with Director Zhou.

But there's no hurry, let's talk while drinking. ”

Jiang Ning was very calm.

He is the backbone of the inner factory, no matter what time it is, everyone can mess up, but he can't.

When Zhou Song heard this, he had to press the eagerness in his heart.

After a while, the food and drinks were served.

Jiang Ning beckoned Zhang He to sit down, and after taking a sip of wine, he asked:

"What happened to the courtiers of the outer court now? But it's all united? ”

"It's not that dangerous yet.

Not to mention that most of the military generals and nobles are inclined to adults, the Ministry of Rites and Household of Civil Officials, and even some of the officials are still neutral.

The most important thing is that Master Li, one of the three elders, is not in the company of the other two, and is still in a state of hesitation. ”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Li Dongyang is indeed very different from Liu Jian and Xie Qian, he is really for the country and the people, and he is not as utilitarian as them.

When Jiang Ning first met Hongzhi, he had the best attitude.

The other two, there is so much nonsense to death.

Just as they were discussing, He Yuyao, who was dressed as a man, suddenly asked to meet.

Jiang Ning recruited her in and introduced her identity to Zhou Song.

Although Zhou Song was surprised, he also nodded kindly.

After He Yuyao realized the identity of the old man in front of him, he saluted and said to Jiang Ning:

"My lord, my subordinates took out the signboard of the inner factory, and the old man readily agreed."

"That's very good."

Jiang Ning nodded, and said, "But this matter is not urgent now, there is a more important matter at the moment." ”

When He Yuyao heard this, he glanced at Zhou Song, understood what was coming, and hurriedly said:

"The subordinates don't disturb the adults' deliberations, so they will retire."

I didn't want Jiang Ning to stop her directly: "It's okay, since you have already entered the inner factory, just stay and listen." ”

Trust is a good means of wooing.

He Yuyao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she claimed to be.

Her performance towards Jiang Ning was extremely useful.

"Director Zhou, please talk to Director He about it again."

Zhou Song responded and retold it.

After He Yuyao heard this, she frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

Jiang Ning couldn't help asking, "Does Master He have a way?" Feel free to speak your mind. ”

"My subordinates do have some superficial opinions, and my lord will hear it."

He Yuyao pursed her bare mouth and said:

"The responsibility of the inner factory is to supervise Jinyiwei and the East Factory.

For the sake of today's plan, why don't you sneak back to Beijing secretly, meet Your Majesty, and reveal some news, so that the factory guards think that we have to strike first, and force them to jump over the wall in a hurry to prepare to shoot.

Then we took out a series of criminal evidence from Dongchang, and even the crime of rebellion, preemptively launched and wiped it out.

However, this is just a little rough idea of the subordinates, and it needs to be planned in detail. ”

After saying that, Zhou Song and Zhang He both looked at He Yuyao in shock.

Jiang Ning also narrowed his eyes.

I have to say that this strategy coincides with what he thinks in many ways.

It's just that for a girl's family, it's a little too ruthless.

This woman is really unpredictable.

"What do you think, is it bad?"

He Yuyao saw that Jiang Ning was silent, and became inexplicably worried.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "It's not ......"

At this time, Gong Yue walked in and reported:

"My lord, Zhang Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, invites you to gather at the Qinhuai River Guest Building."

When Jiang Ning heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, provoking a subtle ridicule.
