Qin Shuhuai suppressed the desire in his heart, and tried his best to say in a flat tone, "Don't dare to give advice, Ben Hou thinks that there are only two ways at present." ”

"Please make it clear to the Hou Ye, our family will listen to you. ”

"First, Cao Dugong continued to sit in the East Factory. At that time, Ben Hou will make every effort to search for ways to alleviate the injuries of the Duke of Cao on the rivers and lakes, not to mention the big factions like Shaolin and Wudang, that is, the magic doctors of the Demon Sect, as long as they have a way to solve the injuries of the Duke of Cao, Ben Hou will definitely invite them. If you don't come, Ben Hou will be a bad guy again, so he will grab it. ”

Cao Huachun smiled bitterly, "Thank you Hou Ye for your kindness, it's just that our family has this body, and our family knows it by ourselves, I'm afraid that Hua Tuo will not be cured in his second life, so I won't bother Hou Ye." Master Hou should talk about the second method. ”

Qin Shuhuai's favor has been done, and since Cao Huachun refused, he was not reluctant.

After adjusting his mind, he said unhurriedly, "This second method is a shocking method, I don't know if Cao Dugong dares to listen to it?"

Cao Huachun said, "Master Hou said, although our family is weak, we will not be frightened by a sentence or two. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Okay, the second way Ben Hou wants to say is", he paused, looked at Cao Huachun's chasing but sharp eyes, and said, "Give me the East Factory!"

The fingertips of one of Cao Huachun's fingers moved slightly, and the long nails scratched the armrest of the pear blossom wood, creating a shallow mark.

He was surprised, and strange at the same time.

He was surprised that Qin Shuhuai would come up with such a bizarre idea, and what was even more strange was that Qin Shuhuai would actually take a fancy to his Dongchang.

According to reason, it is impossible for Qin Shuhuai not to know that the post of Governor of Dongchang has been occupied by eunuchs since the beginning of this dynasty, he is an upright man, and he is also an important minister of the cabinet, how can he serve as the Governor of Dongchang?

And what's even more strange is that he Qin Shuhuai is already powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he turned his hand over for the clouds and his hands for the rain, if he wants more power, at this time take the opportunity to ask the emperor for the position of governor of Liaodong, or the governor of the three sides, etc., the emperor also has to give, why do you look down on your own East Factory?

A governor of Dongchang, is so attractive to him?

Not only Cao Huachun couldn't figure it out, but even Qin Shuhuai himself couldn't figure it out.

To tell the truth, with his current power, if he is not the governor of Dongchang, it really has little impact on whether he can keep the Ming Dynasty and reopen the prosperous world. But the problem is that the system stipulates that he must become the governor of Dongchang, what can he do?

Of course, if he becomes the governor of Shangdongchang, it will be much easier to purge the Donglin Party in the future, so this is also an important argument for him to lobby Cao Huachun now.

Cao Huachun thought he was scheming, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of Qin Shuhuai's move.

Is he trying to control Dongchang so that he can easily rebel? This is unlikely. Because with his power, if he wants to rebel, there is no shortage of help from the 10,000 people in Dongchang. And everyone in Dongchang is loyal to the emperor, even if he wants to pull Dongchang to rebel together, it is impossible, how can he not know this with his scheming?

What's more, if he wants to rebel, he should hide his ambitions at this time, so why expose his ambitions for the sake of Dongchang's unnecessary bargaining chip?

Qin Shuhuai would never be so stupid, he would never be!

After thinking for a long time, Cao Huachun coughed lightly and said, "What Marquis Qin means, our family doesn't seem to understand. ”

Qin Shuhuai said again, "Duke Cao, let me tell you a heart-to-heart word, about Dongchang, in addition to believing in you, Ben Hou can only believe in himself." Wang Chengen's success is not enough and there is more than defeat, and Wang Dehua is not qualified for the post of governor of Dongchang when he sees the wind, and he may even spoil the great plan of clearing up Donglin! Otherwise, the governors of various localities will inevitably support the army and stand on their own, and when the time comes, China will fall apart, and the war will be endless, and we will all be sinners of history!"

said that Cao Huachun could not find any reason to refute it. Indeed, if there is a mistake in any link of the clean-up of Donglin, such as the plan to leak secrets in advance, then can the governors of various places not immediately rebel?

"Therefore, if Cao Dugong is not in charge of Dongchang, then Ben Hou can only be in charge! In other words, Ben Hou does not believe anyone else! The elimination of Donglin is related to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, and to the lives of 20,000 Li people.

Qin Shuhuai's words were categorical, leaving no room for negotiation.

Cao Huachun was irrefutable with Qin Shuhuai's words, but he couldn't convince himself to give up the position of governor of Dongchang to Qin Shuhuai.

After a deep sigh, he said, "Hou Ye said that it is indeed reasonable, but since the beginning of this dynasty, the position of the governor of Dongchang has always been held by the eunuch in the palace. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled inexplicably, and then said word by word, "The ancestral system? When Taizong raised an army to depose Emperor Jianwen, which opened a precedent for the vassal king of this dynasty to seize the throne, is it considered a violation of the ancestral system? Taizu once abolished Jinyiwei, but Taizong restored Jinyiwei and opened Dongchang, is it considered a violation of the ancestral system? However, who dares to say that Taizong is not a holy lord Mingjun? Who dares to say that Yongle was not a prosperous era to live and work in peace and contentment?"

After a pause, he said in his heart, "Cao Dugong, as the saying goes, if you don't abolish it, you can't stand up! Times have changed, look at what the Ming Dynasty has become now? If we always follow the ancestral system and cling to the defects, we and other people with lofty ideals will have no ability to return to the sky! To tell the truth, if Qin wants to be rich and noble for a lifetime, he can get it at his fingertips! Who will be in charge of the East Factory in the future, and who will be in charge of the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty in the future, has nothing to do with Qin! However, if Qin wants to realize his grand wish and fulfill his promise to the emperor that day, Qin will have to take charge of the East Factory!

Qin Shuhuai's words were subtle and explicit. He said that he wanted to be rich and noble in his life, which was an implicit statement, but Cao Huachun could hear that what Qin Shuhuai wanted to say was that if he wanted to rebel, it would be easy for him to be stopped, and it didn't matter if he was in charge of Dongchang or not. But if he wants to help Chongzhen get rid of the Donglin Party and stabilize the world, he must use Dongchang.

Cao Huachun still couldn't find a reason to refute Qin Shuhuai, because as long as anyone who had a clear understanding of the situation knew that this was the truth.

He thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, it's easy for one person to understand this truth, but it's difficult for everyone to understand it." ”

Qin Shuhuai said, "No, I don't need everyone to understand! As long as you understand, the emperor understands!"

"What does Master Hou mean?"

"If Duke Cao is here, Ben Hou should cooperate sincerely with Duke Cao. If Duke Cao retreats, please be sure to hand over the Grand Seal of Duke Cao to Ben Hou!"

Cao Huachun sighed in his heart: What this Marquis of Qin means is to let our family and the emperor recommend him as the next governor of Dongchang! That's right, only if our family recommends him, the guys of Dongchang will obey him.

Rationally speaking, Cao Huachun fully believed that Qin Shuhuai was not in charge of Dongchang for the purpose of rebellion. He Qin Shuhuai wants to rebel, there are 10,000 ways, why bother so much to take charge of Dongchang? and why do so many things to offend the Donglin Party, wouldn't it be better for the Donglin Party to continue to plague the imperial court?

But emotionally speaking, Cao Huachun found it difficult to convince himself to let a person who was not a eunuch take charge of the East Factory. This incident really broke through the limits of his imagination.

He has always been decisive in doing things, but in this matter, he can't make a judgment for a while.

Then, you can only think slowly.

So he said, "Master Hou, our family is a little tired, this body is bones, I really can't sit for a long time, and I can still Hou Ye Haihan." ”

Qin Shuhuai understood what Cao Huachun meant, so he got up and said, "Then Ben Hou won't bother." Cao Dugong should rest early, take care of your health. ”
