In order to reflect his own justice and highlight the "ugliness" of his opponent, Qian Shisheng buckled a big hat as soon as he came up, and moved out the allusion of "pointing to a deer as a horse".

In Qian Shisheng's view, the Son of Heaven is young, and it is when his blood is strong, and it is easy to be instigated, and stimulating him with allusions to Qin II and Zhao Gao will definitely stimulate his desire to resist. As long as the Son of Heaven is willing to cut off Xia Nan's wings, except Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong and others, and the second assistant Wu Zongda is old, then he is the oldest in the cabinet, and it is not impossible to take over as the first assistant. As long as he grasps the power and assists the Son of Heaven to deal with Xia Nan slowly, once he succeeds, he will be the hero of "eradicating the traitors", and his career and fame can reach the top.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Cihong did not answer, and there was silence in the hall.

Qian Shisheng looked up in surprise, only to see a trace of resentment flashing in Zhu Cihong's eyes, and then changed to a faint smile, seemingly unmoved. He was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Aiqing is talking about Pingnanhou and others? You may have some misunderstanding of Pingnanhou, he led the army to the king, he could choose to wait and see for self-preservation, waiting for Li Zicheng to become the emperor and surrender, in exchange for glory and wealth, it is much safer than entering Beijing to rescue me, but he didn't do this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to return to the palace safely and inherit the throne......"

Qian Shisheng was dumbfounded, what's wrong today, everyone wants to see a cat and a mouse, and they are obedient, the second assistant is like this, and even the emperor is like this.

Zhu Cihong didn't seem to see Qian Shisheng's expression, and continued: "Although Aiqing is biased in looking at people and things, it is also out of loyalty, so I don't hear it, let alone tell Pingnanhou, Aiqing can rest assured." ”

"Your Majesty, you can't be fooled by the rhetoric of these people!" Qian Shisheng's hopes came to naught, and he was very unwilling to try to turn the situation around.

Zhu Cihong waved his sleeves: "If there is nothing else, just retreat!" ”

The Son of Heaven issued an order to expel customers, and Qian Shisheng had no choice but to retire no matter how unwilling he was.

Walking out of the gate of Ciqing Palace, Qian Shisheng was depressed and had nowhere to vent, when the little eunuch guarding the door stepped forward and asked, "Pavilion Lao came out so fast?" ”

Qian Shisheng "snorted" heavily, didn't look at the little eunuch, stomped his feet, and left angrily.

The little eunuch waited for him to go away, then turned and went into the temple.

"Really? Did he go in a rage? Zhu Cihong asked.

"The slave and maid see it really, it's not fake at all, this appearance can't be pretended." The little eunuch replied respectfully.

Zhu Cihong smiled, turned to the screen and said, "What does Aiqing think, is this person available?" ”

A person turned out from behind the screen, and it was actually Yang Sichang, who was tossed to death at the court meeting. At this time, his submissive expression was completely gone, replaced by a look of indignation, and the burning hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.

He arched his hand and said to Zhu Cihong: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Qian Zhi is definitely not a henchman in the south of the summer, and it can be of great use." ”

Zhu Cihong said: "I have said a long time ago, Qian Ge is always my teacher, I can believe that you want to test, but it is just a superfluous move." ”

Yang Sichang shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is an extraordinary time, and no one can easily believe it. As long as one person goes wrong, with Xia Nan's power and viciousness, it will be a catastrophe for His Majesty. It's better to be careful. ”

Zhu Cihong sighed: "When Nan appeared in Wen Tiren's Mansion in the summer, I felt that something was wrong, from Fang Zhenghua taking me out of the palace to Nan going straight to Wen Mansion in the summer, the whole thing was too coincidental, as if it was premeditated." But above the court, I never expected that Xia Nan would be so unscrupulous, he wanted to make me a puppet at his mercy! ”

Yang Sichang said: "Xia Nan's ambition and arrogance, the minister had foreseen it, so there was the act of bombarding the military camp that year. It's a pity that Princess Kunxing made trouble from it, ruined the minister's plan, and let him escape, so that today's scourge is here. ”

"Sister Huang is really confused!" Zhu Cihong complained, and then asked, "How sure is Aiqing's plan?" ”

"If all goes well, there's a five-point certainty."

Zhu Cihong was greatly disappointed: "There are so many links in the design, but there are only five points of certainty?" ”

Yang Sichang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Xia Nan is not very human. The Qiong Navy under his command is the world's first-class strong army, and he can pull out 800 people at will, even if he pieces together the remnants of the Beijing camp in the whole city, he may not be his opponent, in addition, Wen Tiren and Fang Zhenghua are obviously his henchmen, the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, plus Dongchang, civil and military, are all in his control, and His Majesty has first ascended the throne, what to fight with him? ”

Zhu Cihong was a little anxious, pacing back and forth for a long time, when the little eunuch at the door came in and reported: "Master, the cabinet has just sent a fold over." ”

Zhu Cihong had no intention of reading the fold at this time, and waved his sleeves: "Read it to me." ”

This excerpt is a recital for Xia Nan to draw up the name of the general, but when he heard the words that suggested that Xia Nan should be given the title of "General of the Protector of the Country and the Capture of Civil and Military Affairs" and the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, Zhu Cihong felt particularly harsh.

After pacing a few steps, he stopped abruptly and said, "There is nothing in the world that is perfect, and to deal with Xia Nan's affairs, everything is left to Aiqing." ”

Yang Sichang arched his hand and said: "The minister swears to die to eradicate the traitors for His Majesty!" ”

Wen House.

As soon as Xia Nan, who returned from the deliberations of the military department, entered the gate, he asked the housekeeper of the Wen Mansion: "Is the princess awake?" He didn't have a place to live for the time being, so he borrowed to live in Wen Tiren's mansion, and other places were not at ease, and the tragic lesson of Yang Sichang's bombardment of the Jingying garrison made him extra cautious.

The housekeeper replied respectfully: "If you go back to Pingnanhou, the princess will have woken up a long time ago." The imperial doctor gave the princess medicine in the morning, saying that the princess was just overworked, and there was no major problem, and she could rest for a few days after taking the medicine. ”

"That relationship is good, if she has three longs and two shorts, I can't care about it. Let's go see her. Xia Nan said and walked to the princess's room.

The butler stopped talking behind him, thought about it, but still didn't open his mouth. It is said that men and women are not kissed, a girl's family is lying on the bed, how can a big man go in like this, not to mention that she is a princess of golden branches and jade leaves? But who is Pingnanhou, and how can he be stopped by a little housekeeper, so he has to go with him.

Xia Nan didn't expect so many feudal etiquette, he had three wives and four concubines, and it was not the first time he ran to a woman's boudoir, not to mention that he was born and died with the princess, and he had a lot of friendship, everyone was so familiar with each other, so naturally they didn't pay so much attention to it.

When he arrived at the door of the room, he asked his entourage to guard the doorman, and pushed the door in by himself.
