Chapter 89 Nine Camps
When he arrived at the house of Zheng Mengzhu, the snow had stopped, Jiang Shiyou and Jing Wenzhong were there, when they saw Chang Sihao coming, they were happy and slightly surprised, Zheng Mengzhu stood up and greeted Xiaoqing with tea, while holding his hand and smiling: "The virtuous nephew is deeply blessed, and he can turn evil into good fortune in case of trouble, which is gratifying,"
Jing Wenchong said with a smile: "I arrived late in Yishulou that day, and you were so tired that you lost Yanxiang Pavilion, after the alliance leader knew, but scolded me and Shao Fang, the alliance leader personally came forward to negotiate with Dongchang, but the other party refused to admit that you were in their hands, and only after listening did they know that you entered the palace, and the matter became more and more complicated, making our heads bigger," Zheng Mengzhu waved his hand and smiled: "It's good that Xiao Chang can be safe, and there is no need to say much about the past," took off the snow battle knife from the wall and handed it over [Xianmo: Throw it in Yishulou before] , Chang Sihao thanked him again and again, took the knife with him, and looked at Jing Wenzhong and Zheng Mengzhu and others got along well, and there seemed to be nothing unpleasant, thinking that maybe it was a misunderstanding that he had stolen the "Records of Xiujian Hall", and it had been explained, and it was inconvenient to ask more [Xianmo: First, it is inconvenient to involve secrets contained in the transcript, and second, it is inconvenient to have his own identity, Xiao Chang is really confused,],
The four of them sat cross-legged around the tea case, and Zheng Meng said: "I heard Chief Jiang talk about Wohu Mountain, I thought that your brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to talk more, why did the virtuous nephew return to Beijing so quickly, could it be that Jue Xiang also entered the city?"
Chang Sihao knew that the master of the Zheng League was not at ease with Qin Juexiang, and thought that Jiang Shiyou would come back and talk about the Qin family's expansion to the north, which would make him wary of forming a misunderstanding, so he hurried back to the capital [Xianmo: It's not that he has nothing to say to Jue Xiang, it's just for the sake of Jue Xiang, but Jue Xiang doesn't think so, Chen Shengyi is also guilty of this disease,] , Now seeing that he is as enthusiastic as ever, he is secretly relieved, but now it is inconvenient to mention this matter as soon as he comes up, so he tells the story of Xiaotangshan Guo Shu Ronghua's visit, and the three of them look at each other after listening, and even Jiang Shiyou's round and smiling face can't help but wrinkle slightly,
Jing Wen put his arms and knees on his knees, stared and said: "Guo Shu Ronghua has obviously lowered his stature in doing this, it seems that he is facing this storm to maintain a steady posture, and wants to try to pull some more resources to his side to make ballast stones,"
"Storm,"
Chang Sihao felt a little strange and didn't understand what he was referring to.
Lord Zheng explained: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, there is news in the palace today, Xu Ge Lao suddenly entered the palace to face the monarch, and proposed to return to his hometown,"
"What,"
Chang Sihao was really surprised, and interrupted: "He is a good old man, how can he want to resign and not do it,"
Jing asked: "Of course he didn't really want to resign, but the first few times he suggested to the emperor on the issue of the inner court, he was delayed and ignored, and he was dissatisfied, so he came out of this," [Xianmo: It's not to return to his hometown, it's just a false shot,]
When Chang Sihao heard the question of the inner court, he had already guessed in his heart, and said, "Is he trying to squeeze Feng Bao away?"
Jing Wenzhong nodded: "Exactly, his resignation is fake, and it is true to force the emperor to express his position,"
Chang Sihao showed an expression of disbelief, he really couldn't understand how bold Xu Ge was, and he dared to force the emperor [Xianmo: There are too many such people in history, Xiao Chang is rare and weird], and snorted coldly: "The emperor is dissatisfied with him because of the delay in the military plane, and he jumped out and stretched out his hand to the inner court, isn't it asking for his own suffering," Zheng Mengzhu said curiously: "Where do you start with this?"
Chang Sihao briefly recounted Cheng Yunfeng's related past, and after listening to it, Zheng Mengzhu exchanged glances with Jing Jiang, and said: "It turns out that this is the case, it seems that the matter of the eldest grandson Xiaochi should be greater than Xu Ge Lao's expectations, he chose this time to force his head, which can be regarded as showing the bottom of the card, but he can turn the passive into the active, and it is also the best strategy in the next policy,"
Chang Sihao leaned over eagerly: "Elder Xu Ge already has a bad image in the emperor's heart, and now that the eldest grandson is gone, he is also missing an arm, in my opinion, Zhu Qingjiang and the evening are anxious about Jiangnan affairs, and it is inevitable that they will be distracted, now is a good opportunity to deal with Elder Xu Ge, I don't know what Uncle Zheng thinks,"
Lord Zheng Meng leaned back, shook his head and said: "The virtuous nephew thinks too simply, Xu Jie's power is big and deep-rooted, it is definitely not easy to with, now above the court, Li Chunfang is idle, Chen Yiqin is arrogant, Zhang Juzheng is plain [Xianmo: The same words are said in a hundred ways, the same judgment is passed down in the end,] , There is no one who can support the situation of the cabinet alone like Xu Jie, if he really lets go, all the officials will be in chaos, and half of the Ming Dynasty will collapse, the emperor wants to use him, he will naturally tolerate him, even if there is more dissatisfaction, he can't move lightly for the time being, today Gonggong Feng sent someone to discuss with me, and said that Xu Ge was forced to fight each other and the situation in the palace, and he also had the heart to break up and make trouble, I strongly oppose it,"
Chang Sihao was speechless when he heard this, and frowned: "Then the emperor will probably listen to him and remove Feng Bao,"
Zheng Mengzhu shook his head: "I strongly persuade Gonggong Feng to endure for a while, and take the initiative to ask the emperor to remove the post of Admiral Dongchang and only be a eunuch with a pen, so that he can be regarded as giving Xu Ge old face and not persecuting him too much, and secondly, he also abandons the car to protect the handsome, retains his strength, and has a chance to backhand in the future,"
Chang Sihao asked, "Is Gonggong Feng willing?"
Zheng Meng said: "The situation is like this, and there is no other way,"
Chang Sihao's mind flashed the picture of Guo Shu Ronghua leaving in a hurry in the afternoon when he was in the Duhug Building, knowing that it must be Feng Bao who summoned him into the palace to explain the matter, but he didn't expect that in half a day, there was such a big change, Guo Shu Ronghua has been living comfortably, and now Xu Ge Lao intervened to attack Feng Bao and destroyed his foundation in the inner court, so isn't the position of the governor of Dongchang also stormy, facing such a situation, his tendency and choice can be said to be a big problem that seriously affects the trend of the current situation.
At this time, the tea has been boiled, Xiaoqing tray came in broken steps, folded his knees near the case, and served the cups in turn.
The tea is fragrant, the expressions of the four people are calm, no one touches the cup, Xiaoqing does not dare to disturb each other, hugging the plate as her chest, and her jaw is retreating to the side [Xianmo: If you should be lively, you should be lively, and you should know that you are serious when you are serious, this is a tutor,],
Jiang Shiyou sighed: "At the beginning, Gao Gong acted strongly, but he was defeated by Xu Ge Lao, and now Gonggong Feng is also going to shrink the front, even if he is being taken down by others, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to our alliance, if Guo Shu Ronghua turns around and forms an alliance with Xu Jie, the balance will be toppled to the bottom,"
Jing asked: "What Chief Jiang said is right, Xu Jie's governing style for many years has been decided, and if he wants to accept the righteousness of the sword family, it will be like ascending to the sky, and if he waits, not only will the state be declining, but our alliance will have no place to stand in Beijing, the leader of the alliance, we can't sit still,"
Zheng Mengzhu looked sideways at the four words "human affection and righteousness" hanging on the wall for a long time, and said slowly: "I can't wait any longer, but I can't be in a hurry," Jing Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, breathed in and breathed long, staring at nothing, Chang Sihao understood in his heart that Xu Jie was like an old tree growing on the foundation, if he wanted to uproot it without hurting the house, how could it be done overnight, [Xianmo: Don't say that, Yan Xiang also said that it will fall, the key is who can catch the plate,]
Xiao Qing saw that the atmosphere was dull, and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Chang, the emperor and you are brothers, very close," Chang Sihao heard the meaning of her words, and said: "He thinks I'm just a fresh, joking, not close, he has a lot of respect for the eldest grandson, but it's a pity that this person is too reckless and casual, and he threw it away, so he left, if he was there, say a few words, the emperor might be willing to listen,"
Zheng Mengzhu said slowly: "That day, I wrote a book to meet with the eldest grandson Xiaochi on a date [Xianmo: The text has the main guest, and there is also the guest among the guests, it should be the main text, but it is used as a side text, and it is narrated afterwards, it can be seen that although this appointment is the main text, it is the master of the guests, so written, it is to avoid the master of the main of the main of Xiaochang entering the palace,] , the next day to the appointment but met on the way, all of them got up to travel, abandoned from the people out of Beijing, along the way to watch the mountains and snow, tell each other about their intentions, although some aspects of everyone is different, on the whole it is still speculative, I see this person with a splendid mind, prudent words, not a casual person, compared to his bizarre background, what surprised me more is the emperor, he has been hiding in the deep palace for a year, doing nothing, and even Feng Gonggong is not very accurate, and from the point of view of your relaying of his actions, this person is cunning, good at the way of checks and balances, and his scheming is far beyond what I want to see, ”
Chang Sihao's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he knew that the emperor put down his body to gather the eldest grandson Xiaochi, not necessarily because he wanted to use him as a knife to stab Xu Ge Lao, because that way to pierce the palace selfishness, everyone was dead and broken, and it was not good-looking, and let Xu Ge Lao always be stunned, and honestly do things in the cabinet, I am afraid that this is his real intention [Xianmo: Fei Longqing is extremely smart, but the environment is like this, and people can't help but be smart,], in this regard, he and himself should not be isolated accidents,
Jiang Shiyou said: "The emperor and Xu Ge are not fuel-efficient lamps, the eldest grandson Xiaochi claims to be invincible, but in fact, he is not benevolent, he must have seen the difficulty between these two people, so he made up his mind to escape from everything,"
Jing asked: "But this time, Xu Jie has no fear, today's action against Feng Gonggong proves this, now he controls the overall situation, has the upper hand, even if the hole cards are exposed, it is not a loss to win,"
Chang Sihao was silent, knowing that in this big card game, although the Hundred Sword League and Feng Bao were in the back, they were still opponents who could play with them, but they couldn't even touch the table at all, Zheng Mengzhu asked: "Xiao Chang, when will Jue Xiang enter Beijing?"
Chang Sihao shook his head: "I don't know,"
Zheng Mengzhu felt strange when he heard it, thinking that his brother had a harmonious relationship, Qin Juexiang's actions should not be hidden, if it wasn't for Chang Sihao deliberately not saying it, then there must have been some subtle changes between the two.
Jing Wenchong has worked with Zheng Mengzhu for many years, and as soon as he heard him mention Qin Juexiang, he knew what he meant, and said: " Jue Xiang this kid hates Dongchang, although he is temporarily false and wronged, he has to provoke trouble when he has the opportunity, with his ability, he is far from Guo Shu Ronghua's opponent, blindly attacking will inevitably cost his life, our two families are good friends and the world knows, if he falls out with Dongchang, it will be Guo Shu Ronghua to Xu Ge Lao One step closer, then Xu Jie's authority will be firmer, and the government and the opposition will inevitably fall into deeper darkness, not only can the reform not be implemented, and there is no way to talk about a rich country and a strong army, everything will become empty words, so whether it is for the Qin family's own considerations, or for the sake of more people, you had better not act rashly, Jiang Shiyou also cast an expectant gaze at the same time,
Chang Sihao naturally heard the other meaning in these words, and put it a few days ago, he would definitely take care of it and make a promise to live up to expectations, but now Jue Xiang is not what it used to be, and he may not be able to listen to his own persuasion, so he couldn't play this guarantee, he hesitated and moved his body, and replied: "Jing Dajian doesn't know, Jue Xiang has been strictly managed by the elders since he was a child, and he is not comparable to ordinary peers, the former successfully quelled the rudder rebellion in Shanxi, and has gained a lot of experience and insight, and now he has more ideas for speaking and doing things, and he is much more stable, I believe he will not fight an uncertain battle,"
"Hmm......" Jing Wen's nasal voice was elongated, and there was a little astonishment in his eyes: I don't know the changes in Qin Juexiang, but this Chang Sihao hasn't seen him for a few days, and he has really changed a lot, he paused for a moment, turned his face and said: "Alliance leader, although it is not true to move closer to Guo Shu Ronghua, but everyone can give each other a face, and things are not difficult to do, we are good with the Qin family, and the friendship with Dongchang is still there, it is better to ask the three families to join forces and work together to bring down Xu Jie, in this way, everyone will have benefits. Xianmo: The three families joined forces, or it was intended to maintain stability, which was the most beneficial to the Hundred Swords Alliance, but in the Qin family, you had to endure it first]"
Lord Zheng nodded and asked, "What does the virtuous nephew think?"
Chang Sihao said: "It should be so,"
Jing Wen smiled: "Without further ado, then we have to ask the virtuous nephew to inform the final sound, let's meet first, and then find a time to date Guo Dugong and discuss major matters,"
