After making up his mind, Lan Yuan spoke on behalf of the prince and ordered his people to tell Cun Zhao and others: "The East Palace has always had this ambition, but it is difficult to predict its intentions. I don't know whether it will succeed or not. I hope you can think about it first and wait until the time is right. Your Highness will help you to the best of your ability.”
Cun Zhao took the order and felt really unhappy. He turned around and sighed in front of Tai Su and Rong Qing.
When Taisu asked why, he beat the table angrily, his face became cold, and he said nothing.
Rong Qing seemed to have thought of something. He stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked directly at them with his eyes: "If the prince is not willing to take action now, then blood will be shed."
Tai Su hurriedly touched his body: "Whose blood is it bleeding from?"
"Fourth uncle, it doesn't matter whose blood is shed," Rong Qing shook his head. "What matters is that he puts on a tough fight and prevents Liu Zhennian from coming to power! His position as prime minister will naturally be lost."
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "I would like to hear the details!"
"Liu Zhennian has always been vigorous and resolute, but he is cautious in this matter. What is he afraid of? Isn't he afraid of offending the scholar-bureaucrats of the Manchu Dynasty? If the Liu thieves want to relent, we will not relent. If we win over some loyal people and make a speech against the Prime Minister, Bring the situation to a point of incompatibility. One person, the Liu Party may be able to kill, but if there are twenty, they may hesitate, and if there are thirty, they will not dare to do anything."
"I wonder where we got so many loyal ministers?" Tai Su asked, "Besides, everything can't be so easy. If the fight becomes inextricable and continues for years, it will definitely bring disaster to the world!"
Cun Zhao made a plan and said: "My cousin, don't forget that they still have Yan Wen's sword. How many people did Yan Xiang kill last time, why was it still safe? Isn't it just because his family is a famous county magistrate! We There are many people looking for it, and it looks fierce, but in fact it is useless."
"Yes, there is also Guifu in Liu's party. He is a great scholar and his words carry a lot of weight." Taisu also advised him to calm down.
Rong Qing suddenly seemed to fall apart, his whole body collapsed there, motionless.
Cun Zhao saw the map lying in the corner, shining in the light of the candlestick. Suddenly, he had an idea. He pushed the table and chair away and made a few real gestures on the old map. Then, his fingers trembled with excitement. stand up.
"It's a coincidence," Cun Zhao waved his sleeves and held up the candlestick, "the Gui family and the Yan family are from the north, and the people in Guanliu Town's Nian Zhang have won over very few wealthy families in the south, so it is difficult to win over them. power. Why don’t we support a few southern noble families to oppose them, and at the same time divide the southern scholars in Liu’s party?”
Rong Qing shouted three wonderful words, leaned over and explained to Tai Su who didn't understand: "You don't know, this young man Cun Zhao is really talented! No matter how talented the Yan and Gui tribes are, their might only ends in the Yangtze River. Besides, the interests of the north and the south are not quite the same, so we can use this to harness their power, so that one person in the government can be as powerful as thirty loyal ministers!"
Tai Su nodded and said with a smile: "I grew up in the capital since I was a child. I didn't know the scenery of the south. I thought that the world was one family. Who knew that there was such a famous thing! You young people are still reliable!"
"I wonder which people it would be better to ask for help?" The three people immediately gathered together.
"Gao Jizhi from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Xie Zanyi from the Yushitai usually treat Liu Dang lukewarmly and have a false reputation, so they can all be used."
"I wonder who I can tell you?"
"You must be a bold and careful person, and you can't add fuel to the fire."
"I read……"
"My lords, are you in there?"
Just when the conversation was about to end, Shi Xiu Shen's impatient knock on the door interrupted everything.
Tai Su's face turned red with anger, but Cun Zhao smiled alertly and said in a low voice: "I think this person fits everything."
"big……"
Before Shi Xiu Shen shouted the second sentence, the door inside suddenly opened, Cun Zhao stood in front of him, and the other two stood in the shadows.
"His Royal Nephew," Shi Xiu Shen saluted, "Your Majesty said that it is your turn to be responsible for the shift tonight in Dongying. Please tell me to make preparations as soon as possible."
"Master Shi patrolled all night yesterday, and it was hard to think about it. Let's have a good rest today."
"Thank you for your concern, nephew." Shi Xiushen waved his hand, then entered the room and took off his armor.
"But before that, we need Shi Sijin to send us a message." Cun Zhao was still leaning in front of the door and said behind him.
"Ahem," Tai Su and Rong Qing were about to speak, "It's not just Cun Zhao's intention."
Shi Xiushen hugged his helmet and glanced at the three of them. He immediately understood and said with a smile, "If you have any use for me, please feel free to mention it."
"Send a message to the Ministry of Officials and Xie Yushi, saying, 'The prince has been suffering from a heart disease recently. If you two adults have a magical prescription, you should use it as soon as possible.' This is our decision, but after all, it is for the emperor and the future of the country. Your Majesty." Tai Su said earnestly.
"How dare Xiu Shen disobey the old uncle's words!" He gasped for a while, then sat up again, "I'm going now." He didn't have time to take off his military uniform and went straight to face the sun.
"Shilang Chen is here!"
Gao Jizhi leisurely played with the silver ring on his hand. He looked up and saw Chen Tongpao dressed in official uniform, and smiled softly: "Although Mr. Chen is small in stature, he looks quite impressive in this clothes. I have been working recently. Still brisk?"
"Under the emperor's feet, the emperor's majesty shines brightly. He has a heavy responsibility, so how dare he say it lightly! It's just that he has gradually become familiar with the official affairs department, so it is no longer difficult to handle official documents." Chen Tongpao bowed and replied.
"Many officials here praise Chen Shilang as a good person, so his promotion is inevitable."
"The life and death of the lower official is tied to Gao Gong. Where is Gao Gong, so is Chen." Tongpao Chen bowed again.
"Okay, okay, it's rare to have a loyal person." Gao Jizhi took off the ring in his hand, the silvery white color was particularly conspicuous in the sun, "Master Shi came just now and said some words that I didn't understand. I don't like guessing riddles. Let you guess."
"He said that the prince had a heart disease and asked me to look for a strange cure. I am not a doctor, and the prince's illness fell from the sky. It is really ridiculous..." Gao Jizhi knocked on the chair, lowered his head and sighed.
Chen Tongpao had no choice but to explain it: "The Liu party was about to compliment the Liu family and become the prime minister. At this time, the prince suddenly suffered from a heart disease, which refers to this matter. We were looking for a strange prescription, and this strange prescription was nothing more than to restrain Liu. Zhen Nian’s ambition.”
"This is a big matter, and we don't understand the situation. If we intervene rashly, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the DPRK. Now we are doing our jobs properly and we can't afford to fight for this."
"However, I still want to ask your opinion," Gao Jizhi rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Shilang coldly from the corner of his eye, "Let us all tell you, should I accept it or not?"
"No answer." Chen Tongpao had already noticed his intention, and a cold wind blew towards his face. But he didn't seem to intend to back down. On the contrary, he calmly believed that this was his best chance to develop.
