Chapter 817: Two Old Men Think

"Humph!" Li Dongyang snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Liu Daxia, and explained to Li Zhaoxian.

"According to the situation of yesterday, since those dead men fought for their lives, and after the assassination failed, they committed suicide immediately even if they were caught. This clue is broken! However, since there is such a force in the Ming Dynasty, then Dongchang and Jinyiwei will never be dull and unwavering, when this force does not exist. ”

Li Zhaoxian naturally understood this, and nodded slightly.

"Then it is naturally unreasonable to be so calm today! This also shows that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are secretly plotting something! Li Dongyang paused slightly, letting Li Zhao think about it first, and think about it carefully.

"On the other hand, those forces in the shadows will inevitably be suspicious and will naturally look for ways to deal with them, but they have no goal, so they will naturally use some basic means to prevent it."

"If Dongchang and Jinyiwei never move, then the forces in the shadows, whether it is the Maitreya Society or the forces in the shadows, will inevitably be more nervous. If there is no action on the side of the court, the nerves of the people in the dark will be more sensitive and tighter, and if this continues, a vicious circle will naturally be formed, and the more inaction there is, the more nervous it will be. ”

"If it goes on like this, as long as Dongchang and Jinyiwei can calm down, the tighter the nerves of the forces in the shadows, the easier it is to make mistakes, just because, they are not sure why the current situation has formed, so they will naturally be more careful, but you must know that the more careful you are, the more closely things will be done, and there will be no flaws, but in the world, is there really any flawed thing? You know, there is such a thing as a hundred secrets in everything! ”

Li Zhaoxian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Under such circumstances, those secret forces will sooner or later show their flaws!" ”

"Yes, although the East Factory is not moving on the surface, it has actually launched an operation in secret, of course, we don't know what specific actions are used, but it must be extremely secretive. Therefore, Dongchang and Jinyiwei's pretentiousness is actually in the layout, wanting to lure the snake out! ”

At this point, Li Zhaoxian finally understood what the two bosses were thinking.

"Alright, let's not talk about that!" Liu Daxia said on the side, "Let's discuss it, what about CITIC?" ”

"Well, that's a serious point!" At this time, Li Dongyang had no vindictiveness and nodded slightly.

"Do you know who I met yesterday?" Liu Daxia made a mysterious grimace at Li Dongyang.

"Aren't you going to get down to business?" Li Dongyang frowned.

"Guess what, it's important!" Liu Daxia looked at Li Dongyang with a mysterious smile on his face.

When Li Dongyang heard this, he looked at Liu Daxia carefully, and saw that although he was full of smiles, his eyes were extremely clear, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Fortunately, Liu Daxia did not continue to sell Guanzi, and automatically revealed the mystery, "It's Mr. Lu!" ”

Mr. Lu? Li Dongyang was puzzled for a while and looked at Liu Daxia.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Daxia, "Is that Mr. Lu?" ”

"That's Mr. Lu!" Liu Daxia nodded proudly.

"Good, good!" Li Dongyang's face instantly became extremely bright, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"By the way, where did you see you?" After a long time, Li Dongyang, who had reacted, looked at Liu Daxia and asked.

"Guess?" Liu Daxia pretended to smile mysteriously.

"Don't come to this set, say it quickly!" Li Dongyang didn't give face, and glared.

"Hmph, that's old-fashioned!" Liu Daxia rolled his eyes, "Isn't it the Ming Mansion!" ”

Ming House? Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, then thought of his previous guess, and couldn't help but nod for a while.

"If that one arrives and is still in the Ming Mansion, then CITIC will definitely be at ease!"

"Yes! I didn't expect that CITIC would be able to invite this great god! I really can't imagine it! Liu Daxia sighed.

Li Dongyang was embarrassed, suddenly thought of something, his face was solemn, he restrained his smile, and asked, "Old Liutou, did Mr. Lu say anything?" What is the purpose of his return? ”

"You finally thought of it?" Liu Daxia's face was playful.

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!" Li Dongyang gave him a blank look.

"Humph!" Although Liu Daxia looked reluctant, he didn't hide it anymore, "Last night, I met Mr. Lu in the Ming Mansion, of course, alone!" ”

As soon as Li Dongyang heard the topic, he immediately listened with his ears pricked up.

"What Mr. Lu means is to inquire about the movements of the imperial court in order to determine the development policy and focus of the Ming family in Beijing in the future, and at the same time, integrate the various affairs of the Ming family. Of course, in the future, the development direction of CITIC will be adjusted! ”

After listening to this, Li Dongyang was thoughtful.

"Old boy, you have to do your best!" Seeing that Li Dongyang didn't move, Liu Daxia couldn't help but look displeased, and explained his words thoroughly.

"Of course!" Li Dongyang suddenly looked at Liu Daxia and nodded.

"Come on, tell me about the affairs of the court!" Liu Daxia sat up slightly and looked at Li Dongyang with a look of asking for advice.

"Yesterday, Your Majesty wanted to reward CITIC, but Xie Qian made some excuses, and then Ni Yue's help, so that CITIC could only receive some gold and jade things, and finally His Majesty also wanted CITIC to enter the East Palace to read with the prince!"

"What?" Liu Daxia's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You're shocked, aren't you?" Li Dongyang did not target him, but his eyes were full of regret.

"Your Majesty personally mentioned it?" Liu Daxia looked at Li Dongyang and couldn't hide his shock.

You know, Ming Zhongxin is just a talent, and he didn't even enter the door of his career? His Majesty actually wanted him to enter the East Palace to accompany him? It's shocking!

"Old Li Tou, in your opinion, is Your Majesty sincere? It can't be an impulse, right? Liu Daxia looked at Li Dongyang, calmed down his mind a little, and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't look like it's a whim!" Li Dongyang frowned, shook his head and replied, "Moreover, judging by His Majesty's reaction at that time, he should have wanted CITIC to enter the East Palace!" ”

"Come, tell me more about the situation!" Liu Daxia's face was solemn and said in a deep voice.

Li Dongyang looked at him, and slowly told him the scene in the imperial study yesterday, of course, it was only some things about Ming Zhongxin, as for other things, he would not reveal it, after all, Liu Daxia is still at home now! He won't be able to keep these top secrets of the imperial court!

After listening to Li Dongyang's account, Liu Daxia was silent for a while.

"There's one thing I don't know, do you know?" Liu Daxia was silent for a long time and spoke.

"What's the matter?" Li Dongyang was strange for a while, looked at Liu Daxia and asked.

"Hmm!" Liu Daxia was silent for a long time and looked at him, "Actually, the prince is already quite familiar with Ming Zhongxin!" ”

What the? At this moment, Li Dongyang's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Daxia in disbelief, "Really? ”

"It's true!" Liu Daxia nodded affirmatively.

"How did they get acquainted?" Li Dongyang was shocked and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"You don't believe it!" Liu Daxia smiled bitterly.

"Tell me!" Li Dongyang looked interested.

"Actually, I also learned about it from the Ming family!" Liu Daxia looked at Li Dongyang, his face was full of weirdness, "Do you remember the Ming Family Restaurant, Mingxuan Pavilion?!" ”

"Oh, they met at Mingxuan Pavilion!" Li Dongyang's face suddenly realized.

Liu Daxia smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, no!" ”

Li Dongyang looked at him puzzled, he didn't know him in Mingxuan Pavilion, so why did you nominate Xuan Pavilion?

"It's not terribly incorrect, it's only half and half! In fact, it was the prince who ate the overlord meal, and after eating a big meal, he originally wanted to repay the account and offered to pay on credit, but he didn't expect to meet the strange Ming Zhongxin, so he didn't say a word, so he gave him on credit. ”

"The prince is also wonderful, he actually came to the door one after another on credit, and he didn't mention paying back! Ming Zhongxin is even more strange, he actually let him eat in Mingxuan Pavilion for a while, and then he met strangely like this! Moreover, the prince really seems to be extremely dependent on Ming Zhongxin! I don't know if it's fate or what, they are so harmonious together, they get along so plainly, and they don't ask each other's names! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Daxia was still surprised, you must know that the image and temperament of the prince in their eyes are very different from the young man in front of Ming Zhongxin! But why he was so obedient and so dependent in front of Ming Zhongxin, to this day, he still can't understand!

"Does CITIC know the identity of the prince?" Li Dongyang asked anxiously.

"Alas! Originally, I thought that with CITIC's cleverness, I must have known it a long time ago, but CITIC never asked, and it didn't stop the prince, and it was just when the prince came to the door, it was good to entertain, if he didn't come to the door, he didn't worry about it, the prince remembered it, so he went to the Ming family or Mingxuan Pavilion to look for CITIC, and after finding it, that is, eating and drinking, and not talking, the two were like friends for many years, and there was no barrier, and they got along so naturally. Liu Daxia's face was incomprehensible.

"After talking for a long time, does CITIC know or not?" Li Dongyang frowned and asked.

"CITIC has the impression that the prince's name is Zhu Shou, a young man, this is what the prince told him, but he didn't ask! As for whether CITIC knows that Zhu Shou is the prince, no one knows! Liu Daxia shook his head.

"Perhaps, this is fate!" Li Dongyang said thoughtfully.

"Alas! Very person-friendly and extraordinary! Anyway, I'm not surprised what happened to CITIC! Liu Daxia said with emotion.

"Yes, your old boy stays in front of CITIC every day, isn't this also a kind of fate?" Li Dongyang quipped with rare interest.

Liu Daxia rolled his eyes, "Okay, you know about this, how do you feel?" ”

"Thoughts?" Li Dongyang paused, thought for a while, and said, "Just let it be, let them be in one place first!" ”

"Don't change the subject! Don't play dumb! Do you know what I'm asking? Liu Daxia pouted.

"Don't you just want to ask, does His Majesty's intention of asking CITIC to enter the East Palace to accompany him in reading has anything to do with the crown prince?" Li Dongyang chuckled.

"Yes, it's not honest!" Liu Daxia glanced at him angrily.

"Alas! Although His Majesty has a mellow heart, according to his doting on the prince, although he rarely cares about the prince, he must have planted a secret agent around the prince, and the relationship with Ming Zhongxin must have been investigated, and he also knows that CITIC is not for the identity of the prince to get along like this! In addition, CITIC has made such a great contribution to the south this time, and then has the merit of sacrificing sharp weapons, so he wants to reward him again, but he was gagged by Xie Qian and Ni Yue, which made his wish frustrated. In a fit of anger, considering that the prince did not have a good friend by his side, it was not surprising that the idea of making Ming Zhongxin a companion was born! ”

"I want to ask you, did Your Majesty think it for a while, or did this thought come out of nowhere?" Liu Daxia looked at him and rolled his eyes.

"This? I'm not sure! Li Dongyang smiled bitterly, "After all, Your Majesty's mind is hard to guess!" What's more, when it comes to the prince, it is even more difficult to guess His Majesty's thoughts! ”

Liu Daxia looked at Li Dongyang and nodded, he has also been a courtier, how can he not know the difficulty of being a courtier, speculating on the emperor's heart is a must-use homework, but he doesn't dare to speculate excessively, otherwise, vainly speculating about the emperor's heart is a big crime! It's really hard to grasp this degree!

"Alright, I won't embarrass you! However, during this period of time, you have to communicate with me at any time! After all, this is the task that Mr. Lu gave me! Liu Daxia gave him a look you know.

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly, this is difficult, one is that as a cabinet elder, the matter involves the secrets of the court, how can he leak it at will; Second, Mr. Lu is kind to himself, no, to be exact, many people above the court are gracious, and it is difficult to refuse!

"Okay, don't look ugly, Mr. Lu said, he won't embarrass you for some confidential things, you just need to talk about the general trend of the court, and we will be satisfied!" Liu Daxia said with a disdainful expression.

Li Dongyang smiled even more bitterly, according to Mr. Lu's wisdom, if he said the general trend, how could he not guess nine points? What's the difference between this and leaking your own secrets?

However, after all, the matter had come to this, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod.

"Hmph, look at the way you look! Mr. Lu also said that as long as it is related to Ming Zhongxin, it can be ventilated, as for the rest, Mr. Lu doesn't care! Liu Daxia finally revealed the truth.

Li Dongyang rolled his eyes angrily, this guy is really getting worse and worse the older he gets, you said this earlier, how could I be so embarrassed? Isn't this a joke for yourself?

However, he really can't do anything about Liu Daxia, after all, this hob meat has been with him for half his life, and his temper just can't see that he is happy, he is good!

What a mistake! sighed in his heart, but Li Dongyang didn't dare to slack off, nodded again and again, and responded to Mr. Lu's words!

"Father, is Your Majesty's intention good or bad for CITIC?" Li Zhaoxian asked weakly beside him.

The two looked at each other and sighed softly.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing!" Liu Daxia sighed lightly.
