When I arrived at the house of Lord Zheng Meng. The snow has stopped. Jiang Shiyou and Jing Wen are both there. When I saw Chang Sihao. I was happy and slightly surprised. Master Zheng stood up and beckoned Xiao Qing to serve tea. While holding his hand, he smiled and said, "The virtuous nephew is deeply blessed. In case of trouble, it can turn evil into good fortune. Congratulations. ”

Jing Wenchong smiled: "I arrived late that day in Yishulou. Tired of you, you lost the Yanxiang Pavilion. After the alliance leader knew. But he scolded me and Shao Fang. The leader of the alliance personally came forward to negotiate with the East Factory. but they refuse to admit that you are in their hands. After listening to it, I found out that you had entered the palace. Things are getting more and more complicated. It's made our heads bigger. Master Zheng waved his hand and smiled: "It's good that Xiao Chang can be safe." There is no need to say much about the past. "I took the snow knife from the wall and handed it over. Chang Sihao thanked him again and again. Strap the knife on your body. Look, Jing Wenchong and Zheng Mengzhu get along well. There doesn't seem to be anything unpleasant. I thought that maybe it was a misunderstanding to suspect that he had stolen the "Records of the Sword Cultivation Hall". It has been explained. It's inconvenient to ask more at the moment.

The four of them sat cross-legged around the tea table. Zheng Meng said: "I heard Chief Jiang talk about Crouching Tiger Mountain. I thought you brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to talk more. Why did the virtuous nephew return to Beijing so soon? Didn't you come into the city too? ”

Chang Sihao knew that Master Zheng was not at ease with Qin Juexiang. I thought that Jiang Shiyou would come back and talk about the expansion of the Qin family to the north. It will make him wary of misunderstandings. Only then did he rush back to Beijing. Now I see that he is as enthusiastic as ever. Secretly relieved. However, it is inconvenient to mention this matter as soon as it comes up. Then he told the story of Xiaotangshan Guo Shu Ronghua's visit. The three of them looked at each other after listening. Even Jiang Shiyou's round and smiling face couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

Jing asked the arms and knees. Gaze said: "Guo Shu Ronghua did this. Obviously, he has lowered his stature. It looks like he's facing this storm. It's about maintaining a steady posture. I want to try to pull some more resources around me to make ballast stones. ”

"Storm. ”

Chang Sihao felt a little strange. I don't understand what he's referring to.

Master Zheng explained: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know. News came out of the palace today. Elder Xu Ge suddenly entered the palace to face the king. Proposed to return to his hometown. ”

"What. ”

Chang Sihao was surprised. interrupted: "He deserves to be a good elder." How can you want to resign and not do it. ”

Jing asked: "Of course he doesn't really want to quit. It's just a few times ago that he suggested to the emperor on the issue of the inner court. All were delayed and ignored. Dissatisfied. That's why it's here. ”

Chang Sihao listened to the question of the inner court. I already guessed it in my heart. said: "Is he trying to squeeze Feng Bao away?" ”

Jing Wenchong nodded: "Exactly." His resignation is fake. It is true to force the emperor to express his position. ”

Chang Sihao showed an expression of disbelief. I really can't understand how bold Xu Ge is. dared to persecute the emperor. snorted coldly: "The emperor is dissatisfied with him because of the delay in the military plane. He jumped out again and stretched out his hand to the inner court. Isn't it asking for your own suffering? Zheng Mengzhu said curiously: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Chang Sihao briefly recounted Cheng Yunfeng's related past. After hearing this, Lord Zheng and Jing Jiang exchanged glances. He said, "I see. It seems that the matter of the eldest grandson Xiaochi should be beyond Xu Ge's expectations. He chose this time to force his way out. It's also a show of the bottom of the card. However, it can turn passive into active. It's also the best of the best strategies. ”

Chang Sihao leaned over eagerly: "Elder Xu Ge already has a bad image in the emperor's heart. Now that the eldest grandson is gone, he is late. He's missing an arm. In my opinion, Zhu Qingjiang and the evening are anxious about Jiangnan affairs. It's inevitable to be distracted. Now is a good opportunity to deal with Xu Ge Lao. I don't know what Uncle Zheng thinks. ”

Lord Zheng leaned back. Shaking his head, he said, "The virtuous nephew is thinking too simply. Xu Jie's momentum is big and deep-rooted. It's not easy. Now above the court. Li Chunfang is idle. Chen is arrogant and arrogant. Zhang Juzheng is bland. There is no one who can hold up the cabinet situation alone like Xu Jie. If he really lets go. All officials are in chaos. Half of the Daming country collapsed. The emperor wants to use him. Naturally, he will be tolerated. No matter how much dissatisfaction there is. You can't move it lightly for the time being. Today, Gonggong Feng sent someone over to discuss with me. talked about Xu Ge's old man's coercion and the situation in the palace. There is also a desire to break with this. I am strongly against it. ”

Chang Sihao was speechless when he heard this. frowned and said, "Then the emperor will probably listen to him." Removed Feng Bao. ”

Zheng Mengzhu shook his head: "I strongly advise Gonggong Feng to endure for a while. He took the initiative to ask the emperor for instructions to remove him from the post of Admiral Dongchang. Only be a eunuch with a pen. In this way, it can be regarded as giving Xu Ge old face. that he may not persecute too much. Second, it is also to abandon the car to protect the handsome. Retains strength. There will be backhand opportunities in the future. ”

Chang Sihao asked, "Is Gonggong Feng willing?" ”

Zheng Meng said: "The situation is like this. There is no other way. ”

Chang Sihao's mind flashed the picture of Guo Shu Ronghua leaving in a hurry when he was alone in the building in the afternoon. knew that it must have been Feng Bao who summoned him to the palace to explain the matter. I didn't expect it to be half a day. It's changed so much. Guo Shu Ronghua has always lived comfortably. Now Xu Ge Lao intervened to attack Feng Bao. destroyed his foundations in the inner court. So isn't the position of the governor of Dongchang also stormy. Faced with such a situation. His inclinations and choices. It can be said that this is a major issue that seriously affects the trend of the current situation.

At this point, the tea is ready. Xiaoqing's tray came in pieces. Knee bent in recent cases. Serve the cups in turn.

The tea is delicate. The expressions of the four were calm. No one touched the glasses. Xiaoqing didn't dare to disturb each other. Hug the plate as a chest. The jaw is receded to one side.

Jiang Shiyou sighed: "At the beginning, Gao Gong acted strongly. As a result, he was defeated by Xu Gelao. Now Gonggong Feng is also going to shrink the front. It can be regarded as being another city. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to our alliance. If Guo Shu Ronghua transfers, he will form an alliance with Xu Jie. The scales are toppling to the bottom. ”

Jing asked: "What Chief Jiang said is right. Xu Jie's governing style has been set for many years. To ask him to accept the righteousness of the sword family, it is like ascending to the sky. Wait a little longer. Not only is the state declining. Our league has no place to stand in Beijing. Alliance Leader. We can't afford to sit still. ”

Zheng Mengzhu looked sideways at the four words "human affection and righteousness" hanging on the wall for a long time. Said slowly: "I can't wait any longer. But I couldn't wait. Jing Wenzhong was stunned for a moment. Take a long breath and breathe long. Speechless. Chang Sihao understood in his heart. Xu Jie is like an old tree growing on the foundation. I want to uproot it without hurting the house. It can be done overnight.

Xiao Qing saw that the atmosphere was dull. smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Chang." The emperor calls you brothers. It's very close. Chang Sihao heard the meaning of her words. said: "He thinks I'm just trying to be fresh." It's just a joke. It's not close. He was very respectful of the eldest grandson. It's a pity that this man is too casual and casual. It's a big throw. And so it goes. If he is. Say a few words. The emperor may be willing to listen. ”

Zheng Mengzhu said slowly: "On that day, I wrote a book to meet the eldest grandson Xiaochi. When I went to the appointment the next day, we met on the way. It's all up to you. Abandon the people and horses out of Beijing. Along the way, watch the mountains and snow. Tell each other about their intentions. Although there are some aspects that everyone is different. On the whole, it is quite speculative. I see this person as having a splendid mind. Be cautious in your words. Not a casual person. Compared to his bizarre background. What surprised me even more was the emperor. He hid in the deep palace for a year. Inaction. Even Gonggong Feng can't say accurately. And judging by the way you paraphrase his actions. This man is cunning. Good at checks and balances. The scheming is far beyond what we could have imagined. ”

Chang Sihao's eyes flickered when he heard it. Knowing that the emperor put down his body and retracted the eldest grandson, Xiaochi. It may not be that he wants to use him as a knife to stab Xu Ge Lao. Because that pierces the palace secrets. Everyone is dead. It's not pretty. And let Xu Ge be stunned from time to time. Work honestly in the cabinet. I'm afraid that's what he really intended. For that matter. Nor should he be an isolated accident when he calls himself a brother.

Jiang Shiyou said: "The emperor and Xu Ge are not fuel-efficient lamps. The eldest grandson Xiaochi is known as invincible. In fact, benevolence is not lost. He must have seen the dilemma between the two of them. That's when I made up my mind to flee from everything. ”

Jing asked, "But this one." Xu Jie had no fear. Today's actions against Gonggong Feng prove this. Now he's in control. Gain the upper hand. Even if the hole cards are exposed. It's also a sure win without losing money. ”

Chang Sihao was silent. I know that in this big game. Although the Hundred Sword Alliance and Feng Bao were in the back. It's still an opponent to play with. I can't even touch the table. Master Zheng asked, "Xiao Chang." When will Jue Xiang enter Beijing. ”

Chang Sihao shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Lord Zheng Meng felt slightly strange when he heard it. I want his brother to have a good relationship. Qin Juexiang's actions should not be hidden. If it weren't for Chang Sihao, he deliberately didn't say it. Then there must have been some subtle changes between the two.

Jing Wenchong has worked with Zheng Mengzhu for many years. As soon as he heard him mention Qin Juexiang, he knew what he meant. said: "This kid hates Dongchang. Although for the time being, it is empty and wronged. If you have the chance, you have to provoke trouble. With what he can. is far from Guo Shu Ronghua's opponent. Attacking blindly will inevitably cost you your life. Our two families are well-known to the world. If he falls out with Dongchang. It is to push Guo Shu Ronghua one step closer to Xu Ge Lao. At that time, Xu Jie's authority will be stronger. The government and the opposition will inevitably fall into deeper darkness. Not only could the reforms not be implemented. There is no way to talk about a rich country and a strong army. Everything will be empty words. So whether it's out of the Qin family's own considerations. Or for the sake of more people. You'd better not act rashly. Jiang Shiyou also cast an expectant gaze at the same time.

Chang Sihao naturally heard the other meaning in his words. Leave it a few days ago. I'm sure I'll take it all in. Make a guarantee to live up to expectations. However, this is no longer the case. He may not be able to listen to his own persuasion. I really can't play this guarantee. He hesitated. He replied, "Jing Dajian doesn't know. The sound has been strictly controlled by the elders since childhood. The original is not comparable to the average peer. The former successfully put down the rudder rebellion in Shanxi. I have gained a lot of experience and insight. Now I have more ideas about talking and doing things. People are also much more stable. I believe that he will not fight a battle that he is not sure of. ”

"Hmm......" Jing asked, his nasal voice elongated. There was a slight astonishment in his eyes: he didn't know the changes in Qin Juexiang. But this Chang Sihao has not been seen for a few days. It's changed a lot. There was a pause. Turning his face, he said, "Alliance leader." Jue Xiang moved closer to Guo Shu Ronghua, although it was not sincere. But everyone can give each other a face. It's not that hard to do. We are on good terms with the Qin family. The friendship with Dongchang is also still there. It's better to make an appointment with three to join forces. Heli first knocked down Xu Jie. In this way. It's good for everyone. ”

Lord Zheng nodded. He asked, "What do you think?" ”

Chang Sihao said: "It should be so." ”

Jing Wen smiled: "Without further ado." Then you have to ask the virtuous nephew to inform the final sound. Let's meet first. Find another time to date Guo Dugong. Business on big things. ”
