Qian Qianyi received a report from Sun Tai, saying that after discussing with Ma Shiying, he found important information and needed to report it directly, the time was the first day of the ninth month, and for the sake of confidentiality and security, the location of the report was set up in the Yin Hotel in Yingtianfu, and Cao Huachun also received the same report, and the time and place were exactly the same.

Qian Qianyi was a little confused and nervous, it is said that Sun Tai has something to report, he can report to the official post, why arrange to go to the Yin Hotel belonging to Ying Tianfu, this is obviously inappropriate, anyway, Qian Qianyi, as a cabinet scholar and a secretary of the military department, is in charge of the defense of Nanzhili, Sun Tai has something to report, and he should also come to see him, which is related to the major matters of Nanzhili's defense, not to mention.

In fact, Qian Qianyi thought of another thing, that is, he and Cao Huachun had discussed and decided, regarding the power of the command of the army in Nanjing City, Qian Qianyi was personally responsible, deciding all the dispatches, and Cao Huachun, the superintendent of the army, assisted, without the orders of the two, no one was allowed to mobilize a soldier or a soldier, nor was he allowed to issue any orders, which was tantamount to completely depriving Sun Tai of his power.

Could it be that this matter was exposed, Sun Tai had any ideas, or after consulting with Ma Shiying, he decided what measures to take.

Qian Qianyi did not delay, and quickly sent someone to the palace to invite Cao Huachun.

After Cao Huachun entered the room, Qian Qianyi spoke directly.

"My father-in-law is said to have also received a letter from Lord Sun, agreeing to report relevant matters at the Yin Hotel on the first day of September."

"Our family received it, it seems that the adults are also confused, our family has been thinking about this matter, it's so strange."

"This official has been thinking about it for a long time, it is indeed strange, it seems that this Yin Hotel in Yingtianfu cannot go. If Sun Tai heard about something and suddenly decided to take some measures, I am afraid that he would miss a big thing. ”

"Let's see that things won't come to that point, isn't it possible that Sun Tai also wants to rebel."

Qian Qianyi's face has changed, he has always been faintly worried about this matter, it should be said about Zhu Youxiang. The impact is very bad, and many officials are a little unconvinced, and they are also considering a way out in the future.

Qian Qianyi took out a few letters.

Lord Sun directly issued an order, and the more than 50,000 sergeants stationed in the Beijing camp were to rest and adjust on the first and second days of the first month of September. It's nothing on weekdays, after all, after such a long time, many sergeants inside and outside Nanjing City are under too much pressure, relax appropriately, as long as you keep an eye on Su Tiancheng's whereabouts, there will be no big problem, this officer saw such an order. I didn't think there was anything wrong, but after Sun Tai and Ma Shiying met and discussed. said that there was an important matter to report, since the father-in-law and the official were going to listen to this report, it means that the matter is very urgent, and in this case, the sergeant is also asked to rest for two days, how can it be explained that the past is over. ”

A sneer appeared on Cao Huachun's face.

"Our family has been staring at Master Sun for a long time. Lord Sun's whereabouts in recent days are a little strange, he has stayed in the Four Seas Restaurant for a short time, but because of the guards, the people arranged by our family have not been able to enter the private room, and then Lord Sun and Master Ma met at the Juxian Inn. After the people sent by our family came back, they said that there must be more than just Lord Sun and Lord Ma, there are so many people staying in the Juxian Inn, who knows if there are people in this who Lord Sun and Lord Ma need to see, maybe they will discuss something bad, then it is also possible, our family has sent someone to investigate all the guests of the Juxian Inn. ”

Qian Qianyi gasped.

"Why didn't my father-in-law say these things earlier?"

"Our family doesn't have any evidence yet, it's not a good thing to speak rashly, after all, Lord Sun and Master Ma are not ordinary, if our family is mistaken, how to take back the water that has been spilled." As the adults said just now, Lord Sun ordered the sergeants stationed in the Beijing camp to rest and retreat, and then there were important things to report, so our family felt that something was wrong, so I said these things today, hoping to help the adults. ”

"The father-in-law is polite, this person who guards Nanzhili is the joint responsibility of the official and the father-in-law."

Cao Huachun smiled and stopped talking.

Qian Qianyi stood up and walked a few steps around the room, and Cao Huachun, who was sitting on one side, was as steady as Mount Tai, and he didn't react much at all, as if he had never faced anything.

A cold expression slowly appeared on Qian Qianyi's face, which had never happened before.

"Father-in-law, you and I have taken on a heavy responsibility, we must protect Nan Zhili, at such a critical moment, there can be no accidents, this official sees a very important moment, there is not so much attention, you and I summoned Sun Tai to the official post and take action."

Cao Huachun's eyes blinked, he had seen too many battles in the officialdom, in order to protect his own interests, what kind of things could not be done, maybe Qian Qianyi felt the danger, or maybe he thought of the worst outcome and decided to take action against Sun Tai, but Sun Tai's identity is different, the second-class member of the imperial court is still a civil official, if he does it without conclusive evidence, it can also be regarded as a major event of the imperial court.

Seeing that Cao Huachun didn't speak, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but snort.

"If the father-in-law is unwilling to do it, the official will take responsibility."

At this time, Cao Huachun had to speak.

"Our family didn't say not to do it, but our family just thought about it, when to do it, since Lord Sun asked to report the matter on the first day of the first day of September, then our family suggested, ask Lord Sun to report to the official post on the first day of the first month of September, if Lord Sun hesitated, it was completely okay to do it, if Lord Sun came, the Lord said all the decisions, and immediately issued an order, which is equivalent to completely controlling the situation, so act, the reason is also sufficient."

Qian Qianyi's old face turned a little red, Cao Huachun's methods were very old-fashioned, and he found a reason to do it, even if the court asked about it, he could make a reasonable explanation. If Sun Tai really has nothing to do, there is indeed an important situation that needs to be reported, and when the time comes, Sun Tai will be relieved of all powers, and there will be no need to worry about anything big.

Without waiting for Qian Qianyi to speak, Cao Huachun spoke again.

"Today is August 29, there is still a lot of time, let's see if we send someone to Fengyang Mansion day and night, and invite Master Ma to come to Nanjing, and ask that we must rush to Nanjing before the first hour of September, so that it is also convenient to discuss major matters."

After leaving the official post and returning to the palace, Cao Huachun immediately began to prepare.

In fact, after coming to Nanjing, he did a lot of things, including mastering many aspects of the situation, especially when Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande were in Nanjing, what things they experienced, the cunning rabbit three caves, Cao Huachun also had to prepare for himself, and master what Qin Sande and Zhu Youxiang did in Nanjing, it was not a very difficult thing, and soon the general context of the matter, Cao Huachun had a clear grasp of it, from which he also came to an accurate judgment that the responsibility for the defeat of Nanzhili's early battle was all on Qin Sande's body. In order to be able to shirk responsibility, it is estimated that Qin Sande later said that he was ill, but in fact, he was planning how to shirk responsibility and how to find a scapegoat.

After understanding this, Cao Huachun felt a little sorry for Zhu Youxiang, but the struggle in the officialdom is like this, either you die or I live, this little thing is nothing, so Cao Huachun also thought of his own situation, in fact, he came to Nanjing, how could he not be Qin Sande's scapegoat.

has been in the palace for so many years, when he first held power, Qin Sande was just an unknown little eunuch, thinking that it was not so easy to see him Cao Huachun, and he didn't expect that things had changed, and he actually became Qin Sande's scapegoat.

Of course, Cao Huachun will not give up, he works harder to collect information, and holds this information in his hands, if there is a problem in Nanjing at that time, these information are his talismans, if Wang Chengen and Qin Sande want to cut him off, then he will take out these evidence, and it is a big deal to fight to the death.

It is precisely because he focused his main energy on the grievances between Qin Sande and Zhu Youxiang, so Cao Huachun did not care too much about the many situations in Nanjing, and as for some abnormal actions of Sun Tai and Ma Shiying, he did not ask, only after hearing the reports of the people below, he made some necessary arrangements.

Now the situation is different, Cao Huachun is sensitive to the danger, where this danger comes from, he can't be completely sure, but the danger must exist, carefully recall what he did when he came to Nanjing City, he didn't think too much about the defense matters, and he didn't even take into account the control of the army, this is the biggest mistake, in case Sun Tai and Ma Shiying both have different intentions, and they both want to take refuge in Su Tiancheng, wouldn't there be a big trouble, at that time, he just took the collected materials, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life.

The Jinyi guards around him were sent out, and a huge net was quickly formed, and the investigation intensity of the Nanjing Jingying sergeants and other sergeants suddenly became much larger, Cao Huachun's requirements were very clear, no matter what kind of changes occurred in the army, they must be reported, as for the safety and security of the palace, it has been strengthened a lot, reaching the point of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

There is another thing, Qian Qianyi can't know Lu Dao, Cao Huachun will not go to the official post on the morning of the first day of the ninth month, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao, if there is an abnormality, both of them are trapped in the official post, at that time, the problem is really big, as for the reason for not going, it is very easy to find, just say that you are unwell.

Cao Huachun didn't think about improving the relationship with Qian Qianyi at all, if it weren't for the requirements of the holy decree, in normal times, Qian Qianyi's attitude, he would have turned his face with Qian Qianyi a long time ago. (To be continued......)
