Xu Youzhen entertained Cao Jixiang at such an important place because she regarded Cao Jixiang very seriously. Zhan Yang came to have a drink with him, but he did not even enter the main hall where His Majesty the Emperor had stayed.
The two of them drank and chatted happily.
When she put down her wine glass again, Xu Youzhen suddenly said, "Is Eunuch Park in Tianjin now?"
Pu Ning'er is Pu Ningmei's brother and a member of the palace. After hanging out with Cao Jixiang, she can become familiar with His Majesty the Emperor. She will still have a future in the future. Xu Youzhen values more about both public and private matters. Park Ning'er's.
However, after Cao Jixiang heard Xu Youzhen's words, the movements of his hands paused slightly and his expression became a little bad.
Xu Youzhen, who had been observing, felt something was wrong in her heart.
Something happened to my brother-in-law and his father-in-law.
"Why, died at sea."
Cao Jixiang knew the relationship between Pu Ning'er and Xu Youzhen, and nodded immediately and said: "Today at the Qianqing Palace, I told the old Duke Zhu Yi of the Chengguo Mansion that the ship had lost contact, and Pu Ning'er and the old Duke We have a very good relationship with him. Ever since he went to sea, he has been on that ship, but now there is no one alive or dead."
After Xu Youzhen heard this, he sighed. He could think of Pu Ningmei's pitiful expression when she found out about this.
Park Ningmei, who is in her early twenties, does her best to take care of herself, an old man in her fifties. It would be impossible if she didn't have the slightest pity for him.
"Everyone has his destiny, and Eunuch Park is not so blessed." As she said that, Xu Youzhen picked up the wine bottle and poured another cup for Cao Jixiang, and then poured a cup for herself.
After the two drank together, Cao Jixiang started talking about Shi Henglai.
When he left the capital, Shi Heng was the closest to His Majesty among all the military generals, and the most majestic. He had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he was unmatched in Liaodong. Even the Zuo Governor of the Central Army Governor's Mansion, Cheng Guogong Zhu Shou was at a disadvantage when facing him, so Cao Jixiang endured all the things Shi Heng did in the Qianqing Palace.
But just because I endured it doesn't mean I'm not angry inside.
The warship was in the name of auspiciousness, but he snorted coldly. This made Cao Jixiang very dissatisfied. Why did he look down on the eunuch?
After Cao Jixiang finished speaking ill of Shi Heng, he made his final conclusion.
"Shi Heng is a man who must be guarded against."
After Xu Youzhen finished listening, he looked at the four characters "loyalty to the king, body and country" enshrined on the main table, and sighed silently: "Now that he is useful to your majesty, we will tolerate him. If one day he is no longer useful to your majesty, we will Fight him properly again."
Here Xu Youzhen talked to Cao Jixiang about Shi Heng.
Over there, Shi Heng was speaking ill of Xu Youzhen to Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong.
It turns out that love is mutual and disgust is also mutual.
Xu Chengzong went to Qianqing Palace to say goodbye to Zhu Jianshen today, and decided to return to Yingtian Mansion the day after. When he left the palace, he met Wuyang Marquis Shi Heng, who had been anxiously waiting for the emperor's summons.
When Shi Heng saw Wei Guogong, he invited him to have a drink in the mansion, hoping to communicate with Wei Guogong in advance about his experience as the Ming Dynasty Duke.
But this was the capital, and Xu Chengzong did not dare to rashly agree to Shi Heng's invitation. At that moment, he politely declined and said that if Wu Yanghou had the opportunity to go to Yingtian Mansion, he would treat him well.
But he was fooled by Shi Heng.
Today I not only invited Wei Guogong, but also the British Duke and Ding Guogong. I will give a memorial to Your Majesty later to inform the matter. Wei Guogong does not need to worry too much.
After Xu Chengzong heard this, he suddenly thought that his son Xu Er was still hanging around behind Xu Youzhen, just to be able to shine on the lintel of the Xu family and restore the former glory of the Duke of Wei.
He has worked so hard, how could he not work hard as a father.
Shi Heng is the most popular general in the Ming Dynasty and the most benevolent general. If you become good friends with him, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also ask him to help support your son.
When Shi Heng saw that Wei Guogong agreed and set a time, he went to the British Duke's Palace and Dingguo Duke's Palace in person to invite the two of them.
These two people did not want to have too much involvement with Shi Heng. When they were about to refuse, Shi Heng moved Wei Guogong out.
Duke Yingying and Duke Ding could not give face to Shi Heng, but they had to give face to Duke Wei, especially Xu Yongning, who had no reason to refuse.
In this way, Shi Heng invited three princes to the dinner party. Even Chen Ying, Guo Deng, and Yang Hong, three nobles with great power in the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, were not included in his invitation.
In his opinion, this was an advance discussion and exchange meeting for the Duke of Ming Dynasty. Although Chen Ying and the other two people now have great power, they are still not qualified.
But this dinner was very embarrassing.
When Shi Heng came up, he criticized Xu Youzhen, making Xu Yongning and Zhang Mao look extremely ugly.
The reason why they looked ugly was not because they were friends with Xu Youzhen, but because Shi Heng complained that Xu Youzhen's personal ethics had already been affected by the new tax system.
Instead of just having a nice dinner, it has become a harvesting ground for the Duke's throne.
Xu Yongning was the first to leave, and Zhang Mao followed closely behind.
Two of the three princes left in less than two glasses of wine, but Shi Heng still didn't feel anything was wrong.
Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong listened to Shi Heng's scolding happily, thinking about the injustice he suffered when he faced Xu Youzhen in Yingtian Mansion, and he felt comfortable listening.
After Xu Yongning and Zhang Mao left the scene, they actually said a few bad words about Xu Youzhen.
Not to mention, after finishing speaking, Xu Chengzong felt very comfortable in his heart.
However, feeling comfortable in his heart was not called comfortable. When he was almost done drinking, Shi Heng arranged a more comfortable activity for Wei Guogong.
These were the Goryeo women he secretly brought back. There were only two of them, with the best skills and the best looks. Shi Heng was really reluctant to let them go, so he asked them to disguise themselves as men and stay in Shanhaiguan. On the one hand, he wanted to give the court time to arrange for them to deal with it. The second aspect of his grand welcome ceremony was waiting for them. Of course, Shi Heng kept it very secret, even concealing it from the Jin Yiwei's secret whistle.
In order to establish emotional contact with Xu Chengzong as soon as possible, he called out all these two women.
Xu Chengzong had never seen a woman like that. Although the two of them were gorgeous in appearance, they were not so moved by Xu Chengzong. However, the two Korean women used their advanced ventriloquism and complex postures to move Xu Chengzong greatly.
After it was done, I couldn't help but be amazed.
I am really old, have the outside world evolved like this?
Shi Heng, who was lying in the corner and listening to the movement in the room, didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor was in the Qianqing Palace, looking at the news sent by the Jin Yiwei.
One day, Shi Heng invited the princes of the Three Kingdoms to come over for a drink and publicized the event in such a big way that it became known to all the civil and military officials in the capital. The impact was extremely bad and the consequences were extremely serious.
Shi Heng's words criticizing Xu Youzhen at the banquet were also clearly written in the spy report. However, due to limited time, Zhu Jianshen was not clear about Shi Heng's after-dinner arrangements for Xu Chengzong.
Shi Heng promised Xu Chengzong to inform Zhu Jianshen about the dinner, but he didn't do it at all.
After putting down the text, Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I don't understand what Shi Heng did.
You are a military general, and if your ambitions are difficult to reach, you can go and fawn over the Duke of the Kingdom, but that’s fine, but you are clearly favored by the Lord, yet you still go to the Duke of the Kingdom.
It's understandable that you want to have a meal and a drink. Can't you come here secretly? You even went to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to find those Wu Xun and tell them about your arrangements today. I'm afraid you brothers don't know about it. You invited three princes to dinner tonight. things.
"It seems that Shi Heng can't stay..."
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Zhang Bao, who was standing aside, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will go down and make arrangements right now."
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Zhang Bao: "What are the arrangements?"
"Produce evidence of crime and arrest people late at night." After what happened at the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Bao's good impression of Shi Heng was completely exhausted. He also felt that if Shi Heng continued to indulge, he would cause big problems sooner or later.
In other words, if you brag to the Duke now, you will dare to brag to the Emperor tomorrow, and you can still keep it.
