The long night...
It was so late, and Li Zengzhi was still awake. He paced back and forth in the study and summoned his advisers.
People like them, in addition to having some followers, will also have a few counselors.
It is easy to find hangers-on who eat and drink, but it is not easy to find a good counselor. Generally, those with some ability have become officials in the court. Those who took the initiative to join Li Zengzhi and his ilk either had ulterior motives and looked down upon the small officials in the imperial court; There is a conspiracy.
It is said that Li Zengzhi's counselor also has a great background. Although he is young, he knows astronomy and geography, and knows the future and the past and present.
What he often said to Li Zengzhi was, why did King Yan Zhu Di succeed back then? It's not that he is too capable, nor is it that your brother, the governor, is too incompetent, but there is an extra person beside Zhu Di - Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao in black!
With your ability as the Commander-in-Chief, why do you need to live in such a depressed state for so long? He is always angry with the impeachment officials.
Li Zengzhi humbly asked for advice: Mr. Dare to teach me.
Counselor: Wait.
Li Zengzhi: Wait?
Counselor: The time, place, and people are favorable, but if the three are not met, there will be disaster even if there is victory. Now among the three, we can only be considered as occupying the advantage, the time has not come yet, and the people's hearts are not enough.
How could Li Zengzhi, a veteran of the battlefield, not know this truth?
The counselor continued: In the future, the Ming Dynasty will be ruled by internal officials. The most outstanding among the internal officials is undoubtedly the Chief of Ceremonies. Therefore, Commander-in-Chief, you don’t have to worry about Jin Yiwei. I dare to say that in less than ten years, an inner prisoner who can compete with Jin Yiwei will appear.
Li Zengzhi understood.
Therefore, when working in partnership with the eunuch in charge of Xiaoyao Tower, he also listened to the advice of his adviser.
…
"I wonder if the governor called me here late at night to discuss something important?" The counselor finally arrived belatedly, relying on his talent and arrogance, which is a common problem among literati.
Literary men also looked down on each other, so the counselor chose to join the military general Li Zengzhi instead of a certain civil servant.
"One day, my husband advised me not to spend my time on Jinyiwei. I regret that I didn't take it for a long time." Li Zengzhi said, "Sir, please sit down...Now Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang seems to have pointed the finger at me, and he is afraid that he will also follow me in Jinyiwei." It’s related to the placement of an insider.”
"Why is this so difficult?" The counselor smiled calmly, "The governor only needs to kick out his eyeliner and provide a guard to protect the car."
Li Zengzhi thought for a while and shook his head: "I'm just afraid of getting an unfair reputation."
"You are not a gentleman if you are petty, and you are not a husband if you are not poisonous." The counselor said, "At this time, the governor no longer wants the kindness of a woman."
Li Zengzhi said: "Even if I give up my eyeliner, I'm afraid Ji Gang will still not be satisfied."
"Ji Gang is just a sword in the emperor's hand. If the emperor doesn't reveal the scabbard, his sword will not chop randomly." The counselor said, "Chen Ying is a person who specializes in making excuses for the emperor. When he impeached the Duke ( Li Jinglong), but the emperor remains unmoved, do you know why?"
"Thanks to my husband for giving me good advice, there are eunuchs from the inner court who can give my brothers a good word to explain to the emperor." Li Zengzhi said.
"This is one of them. The more important thing is that the Governor and the Duke are blessed by God and the Emperor values them highly." The counselor said, "So, why should the Governor be worried?"
"After hearing what you said, I feel much more at ease." Li Zengzhi said, "I'm afraid that God's intentions are unpredictable..."
Li Zengzhi had done too many things secretly, and he couldn't help but feel panicked. However, he basically listened to the advice of the counselor in front of him in these matters, so he couldn't sleep well now. Of course, he had to call the counselor out of bed!
The counselor said: "In this case, it is difficult to protect the chariot without leaving soldiers, so we might as well try to divert the disaster to the east."
"What does it mean to divert trouble from the east?"
"The Governor already knows that the only people who can speak well around the Emperor now are the eunuchs and eunuchs among the seven people in the cabinet, besides Jigang and Chen Ying."
Of course, the one who can speak the most is the Prime Minister in black! It's just that this person rarely got involved in government affairs. He only occasionally went to court in the morning and recommended one or two people to the emperor, while he hid his fame in the temple. Besides, who dares to have a random relationship with him?
The seven people in the cabinet are all scholars. Li Zengzhi is a martial artist and has never been able to deal with them. Could it be that he wanted to bring trouble to them?
The counselor bought enough information, and then continued: "Since Jin Yiwei is chasing Jin Chang, and Jin Chang is a member of the eunuch Hou Xiaoyao, why not sell him to Jin Yiwei and let Ji Gang fight with eunuch Hou."
Li Zengzhi thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible. Jin Chang had taught Huang Ze martial arts, and he was inevitably known as a traitor to the Party. For such a gift as rebelling against the Party, Ji Gang could always be satisfied, right?
The eunuch Xiaoyaolou had a close relationship with the eunuch Hou Xian who was on an envoy mission, and he had the strength to fight Ji Gang.
As long as they fight, no matter who wins or loses, at least I, Li Zengzhi, will have some time to take a breath.
"Who is worthy of this important task?" Li Zengzhi asked the counselor.
The counselor smoothed his short and sparse beard under his chin and said confidently: "Of course he is one of the governor's men in Jin Yiwei."
…
"That's unreasonable! These Yabos should all be cut into pieces and executed in Lingchi!" After hearing what Yue Rong said, Lin Linyou patted the table, but because it was late at night and was afraid of disturbing other people, he didn't dare to pat it too hard. Don't dare shout too loudly.
It turns out that Yue Rong has a younger brother named Yue Qi. Six years ago, he was only four years old, but he was abducted by his grandmother. Yue Rong’s parents were so anxious that they couldn’t afford to fall ill. They finally took care of them and recovered, but Yue Rong refused. After getting married from many parties, he embarked on a journey to find his relatives alone. Along the way, he also learned martial arts from his masters. He mainly learned swordsmanship and the Yue Nv Sword. He traveled far and wide to protect himself, and one day, he could kill his enemies with his own hands!
For six years, Yue Rong lived in the open air. After many hardships and hardships, he finally found Ya Po in Suzhou Prefecture. Yue Rong used some tricks to pry Ya Po's mouth open and learned that his younger brother Yue Qi was sold into the house in the first place. Into Ji Gang's mansion.
But Yapo also said that all the boys in Ji Gang's house would be castrated. Yueqi was too young at that time, so I'm afraid...
Feeling sad and angry, Yue Rong raised his sword and beheaded Yapo!
No wonder she didn't behave like an ordinary woman when she saw me killing Huang Xijue that night. I had already noticed that she was unusual, but I didn't expect that she looked delicate and frail, but she had actually killed someone before!
However, Yapo really deserves to be killed! Killing him a thousand times and cutting him into pieces with ten thousand knives is not enough to thank the world!
Yue Rong couldn't believe that something bad had happened to her brother, even if it happened... then she would avenge him!
"This Ji Gang is really hateful! He won't even spare a child!" Lin Linyou scolded, "So, you boarded that Ji Mansion official ship really to assassinate Ji Gang?"
Yue Rong asked back: "General Lin Qi doesn't really think Ji Gang is hateful, does he? That day, you kidnapped so many boys from Suzhou with your own hands."
"Rong'er, this is different..."
It is indeed different. After all, your brother is my future brother-in-law.
What's more, we are so weak, how can we save so many people? How to fight Ji Gang? What's the difference between hitting an egg against a stone?
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term and cannot be impulsive." Lin Lin lobbied.
"I can't wait any longer..." Yuerong said, "When I think of my brother, I don't know how humiliating and wronged he has been, I just..."
Looking at her red eyes, Lin Linyou couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and comfort her.
But, he didn't dare.
"I mean, we need to discuss it carefully." Lin Lin lobbied, "You allow me these few days, and I will find an opportunity to go to Ji Gang's house to inquire about it. I am a royal guard, it is better than you sneaking there in night clothes... However, after so many years, your brother has grown into a handsome young man, right? If we meet him, would you still recognize him? "
Yue Rong nodded: "There is a big birthmark on his left buttock."
This... then I have to take off my pants and watch every boy in Ji Gang's house...
