Walking through the passage inside the wooden cabinet, there is also an identical large wooden cabinet on the other side, obviously this hidden passage has not been opened recently.

Wu Xiang immediately thought clearly, the house adjacent to the leather goods store, and then adjacent to it should be the Funing Marquis Mansion.

"I didn't expect this Funing Hou to make a cunning rabbit three holes." Wu Xiang lowered his head and followed the shopkeeper Zhao in front of him, while guessing.

Wu Xiang walked all the way and found that there were basically no servants in this house, and he thought that it should be vacant on weekdays.

Shopkeeper Zhao led him to the West Cross Courtyard, where Zhu Youfu, a trusted housekeeper beside Funing Hou, was standing in the weeping flower door waiting.

After looking at this old servant, Wu Xiang no longer dared to hold on to the shopkeeper of Zhao, he said respectfully: "I haven't seen you for many days, the old housekeeper is in good spirits, and the two rings are polite." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me. A certain is just an old slave, and he doesn't dare to ask General Wu to say hello. Shopkeeper Zhao, go back first, and I'll leave it here. Seeing Wu Xiang's respectful appearance, Zhu Youfu was in a good mood.

After the shopkeeper Zhao left, seeing that there was no one around, Wu Xiang sent a small bag with his sleeve in his hand, and said flatteringly: "New Year's Day is approaching, little gadgets, give them to the old housekeeper for the children to play." ”

Zhu Youfu pinched it, and the things in the bag, the smile on his face became even more kind, "General Wu will go in quickly, Hou Ye and Lingbi Hou are waiting for you..."

In the flower hall, Lingbi Hou Tang Guozuo and Funing Hou Zhu Guobi were about to sit opposite each other, silent.

After Wu Xiang entered the flower hall, he immediately bent his knees to greet the two marquis. After Zhu Guobi instructed his housekeeper to go out to guard the courtyard gate, he asked anxiously to Wu Xiang, who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Why are you alone, why didn't Yuan Chenghuan come?"

"Lord Yuan said that this matter is not trivial, and it is better to have fewer people to discuss, in case there is a leak."

Lingbi Hou Tang Guozuo suddenly stood up angrily and reprimanded: "For such a big matter, he will send you a small general to discuss." Could it be that you really want to use us as guns? Go back and tell that Yuan Heizi that if he doesn't come out to make a guarantee, this marquis will withdraw. ”

"Lingbi Hou doesn't have to be angry, if you have something to say, do you still have something to say?" Zhu Guobi persuaded Lingbi Hou with a pleasant face, and after calming his emotions, he turned his head and said coldly to Wu Xiang.

"Wasn't it Yuan Chonghuan who asked us to exchange the salt of Changlu for the fur, Dongzhu, and ginseng in the hands of the Liao people? Although Yuan Heizi himself did not come forward to participate in the transaction, but his younger brother Yuan Chongyu poured the salt of Changlu, and the military food of the Guan Ning army was Yu Jiannu, did he really regard others as blind?

Now that His Majesty has sold the Changlu Salt Farm, the old accounts in this salt farm may be poked out, and everyone will be finished at that time. We came up with this last resort for the good of everyone.

Could it be that if Yuan Chonghuan closed his eyes and ears, he would be able to clean up his responsibilities? Everyone is in the same boat now, if the boat capsizes, can he Yuan Chonghuan be alone? ”

Zhu Guobi's series of questions, Wu Xiang was always indifferent, and it was not until Zhu Guobi stopped that he changed his humble expression when he just entered the door and said calmly.

"I, the Liaoxi Army, don't think that we should continue to let Your Majesty mess around. Although Lord Yuan was reluctant to come forward to preside over the overall situation, he had already promised that he would help appease the ministers of the DPRK and China afterwards and avoid causing a big turmoil.

It's just that I want to ask the two Hou masters, can the matter of the Beijing camp volunteers clamoring for tomorrow can be done? How many other Hou Ye want to go? Although our Liaoxi army supports your lords, but we are the army of the Ming Dynasty, and we will never dare to get involved in this plot to kill Your Majesty. ”

After Lingbi Hou Tang Guozuo and Funing Hou Zhu Guobi glanced at each other, Tang Guozuo pretended to be relaxed and said: "After I am also a hero of the Ming Dynasty, how can I murder the son of the Great Tomorrow, Wu Shen will think too much." ”

"Yes, I just want to help the government, eliminate the traitors around His Majesty, clean up the source, and restore my bright and bright future. As long as Your Majesty repeals the new policy, punishes Tian Ergeng, and dismisses the factory guards, then our wish will be fulfilled. Funing Hou Zhu Guobi continued.

Wu Xiang's eyes flickered and asked: "Since your marquis is so well aware of the righteousness, my Liaoxi army naturally can't stand by and watch, I don't know how you marquis want us to serve?" ”

Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, suddenly said: "We just hope that you don't do anything, after this Beijing camp makes trouble, the Jizhou army will soon make trouble." At that time, as long as Guan Ningjun does not move, His Majesty is just a young man of high age, and he will definitely agree to what we want, then I will naturally have little to do. ”

Wu Xiang thought about it, and felt that this business was worth doing, there was no need to do anything, as long as he waited and watched, he could share the benefits, what could not be done.

He raised his head and asked the two marquis tentatively: "Then after the matter is completed, the minister of the superintendent Wang and the general soldier of Liaodong Mangui are two?" ”

Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, said happily: "Afterwards, the two of them will inevitably be transferred to leave Liaodong, and the affairs outside the Guanning should be decided by the Guanning armies..."

After sending Wu Xiang away, Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo said to Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing: "After the matter is completed, do you really want to transfer Wang Zhichen and Man Gui out of Liaodong?" Guan Ningjun is now so yang-deed, if he really wants them to be the masters outside the gate, wouldn't he be even more arrogant? ”

Zhu Guobi said mockingly: "This major event in the DPRK and China, when it is the turn of our lords to call the shots, those scholars will naturally have plans, why should we bother." As long as I can scare Your Majesty this time and keep him from doing much, I will be satisfied. ”

Lingbi Hou Tang Guozuo was a little unwilling in his heart, and he whispered tentatively: "Is it possible, can't we take this opportunity to replace those scholars in the court with a batch?" ”

Funing Hou Zhu Guobi was suddenly startled, he looked at Tang Guozuo in horror and said, "You're not crazy, are you?" Without the consent of these scholars, do you think we can incite the Jingying and Jizhou armies to make trouble? If we dare to do this, those scholars will definitely gather the army of the Qin Wang of the World to go to Beijing.

I have two capitals in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, each with six departments, what do you think it is for? If we dare to support the army and abolish the establishment, the Sixth Department of Nanjing will inevitably call on the Qing monarch in the world. Not to mention the others, as long as Nanjing's luck is cut off, no matter how many soldiers in Beijing there are, they will have to scatter..."

Tang Guozuo suddenly smiled and said, "I just said that, Funing Hou has heard it." But this British duke, still reluctant to meet guests? ”

Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, was silent for a while before he said: "After all, this British duke is also old, and he is probably reluctant to interfere in some things. But now that the matter has been decided, it doesn't matter whether there is permission from the British public or not.

Tomorrow, Nancheng will sacrifice the dead soldiers in Liaodong, and most of the generals and officers in the battalion will go, these people are not in the camp, who can still hold back in the Beijing camp, and the soldiers will enter the city to make trouble..."

That night, in the study of Yuan Chonghuan's apartment, Wu Xiang briefly introduced to Yuan Chonghuan the situation of his meeting with the two Hou masters in the afternoon.

"Lord Yuan, what should we do now?" Wu Xiang stood in front of the desk with his hands respectful, unusually respectful, looking like a slave of the Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Chonghuan was accustomed to the scene in front of him, and he seemed to have become accustomed to the respect that these Guanning Army officers treated him.

"What did Fuyu say to you when you came?" Yuan Chonghuan asked at Wu Xiang.

"General Zu has taken 4,000 cavalry to station 60 miles outside Shanhaiguan, if the Beijing division has an edict, it will be able to reach the capital within six days. General Zu ordered the humble post to tell the boss that the movement of the Guan Ning army could be decided by the boss in one word. Wu Xiang carefully recalled the instructions of his in-laws, and repeated them to Yuan Chonghuan word for word.

After Yuan Chonghuan listened, he remained silent until the candlelight on the desk became dim, he woke up and picked up scissors to cut off the candles.

After looking at the candle flame that had become bright again, Yuan Chonghuan made up his mind and said: "You will stay in the room tomorrow and don't go out, if there is any disharmony, I should persuade the princes of the dynasty to summon Guan Ningjun into Weishenjing."

The various families in Beijing have different thoughts, and I think they can incite this chaos, but they may not be able to calm it down. If the Guanning army can be persuaded to join the guard, the overall situation of the DPRK and China will definitely change, as long as several cabinet elders can be resigned, His Majesty's new policy will be implemented by no one and will be defeated.

However, what is the purpose of His Majesty's summoning of Man Gui to lead troops into Beijing? Didn't you hear anything? ”

Wu Xiang thought for a while before replying: "Your Majesty's public will is to let the marshal enter Beijing to take up his post, and to review the representatives sent by the Liaodong soldiers. The idea of private, the humble position is not clear. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Chonghuan finally gave up and said: "1500 cavalry is in the suburbs, so naturally it can break through the sergeants of the Beijing camp several times as much, but is it in the capital?" It can't exert one-tenth of its strength, and there are a few adults in the DPRK and China here, and even a single Mangui can't turn over any storms. It's all up to tomorrow, so step aside. ”

Wu Xiang didn't move his steps, but said cautiously and humbly: "Master Yuan, I have a little question about my humble position and want to ask my lord." If His Majesty refuses to remove the new policy tomorrow, and is unwilling to summon the Guanning army into the guard, what should we do? ”

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Wu Xiang and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is just a young man of Chong Age, tomorrow there will be rampant soldiers in the capital, and it is too late for Your Majesty to hide in the palace, where you will think of these problems."

As long as Your Majesty hands over the matter of quelling the chaos to Lord Sun, we will have the righteous reputation of summoning the Guanning army into the guard. It doesn't matter whether Your Majesty is willing to remove the new policy or not, as long as you kill the vicious dog in Your Majesty's hands, Your Majesty will have no force in your hands to blackmail the courtiers.

Several cabinet elders in today's cabinet have always been known for their tactfulness, and since His Majesty has lost the power to control the government, they will naturally take the initiative to ask for it.

In the future, above the Ming Dynasty, after all, we still have to wait for the final say, Your Majesty should first learn the way to govern the country, and by the way, it is the right way to consolidate the country's foundation by reproducing children and grandchildren for the Ming Society.

As for General Wu, don't think about it, people with half-hearted intentions, no one will like it. ”

"The boss is too worried, how dare he have other ideas..."Wu Xiang's face changed, and he immediately said respectfully.
