Chapter 75 Confrontation
As soon as the sun rises.
The light veil covering Liangdu was lifted.
The morning breeze was slightly chilly.
The hustle and bustle of yesterday left, and the Tongming Painted Boat docked at the inland river.
It seems to be resting, and also like quietly dressing up.
At this time, Liang Du's court had been in operation for an hour and a half, and the court meeting had just begun.
Gao Quan, who returned to Nei Zhengsi, received the wax pill.
The little eunuch who worked on a fixed line used his jade ring finger to change his skin, and finally got the title of eunuch.
The little eunuch stood aside respectfully, staring at his toes.
Gao Quan was beaming with smiles, regaining his former eunuch's peace of mind.
If it weren't for being inhumane, I would have no choice but to go out and listen to music to entertain myself.
Everyone in the internal affairs department can feel the change in their boss's attitude, which also shows that the boss's holy family is in good hands.
Those of them who are in front of the saddle but behind the horse can still drink some soup to quench their thirst.
Attitudes change overnight.
Some people who were originally wavering also joined Gao Quan's disciples.
Gao Quan took the wax pill and thought about what good news it was, so much so that he didn't feel the boredom and boredom of the past when he looked at the pile of documents in front of him.
After washing my hands and drinking tea, I sat down at the table and opened the wax pills.
Just looked down.
The smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
Even the posture is unconsciously straight.
His face was neither happy nor sad.
Although the young eunuch did not see Gao Quan's face, the suddenness of his voice and the current silence were enough to show the solemn atmosphere.
Obviously, the content in the wax pill secret message is by no means good news.
At this time, the little eunuch's expression became more respectful, and he even slowed down his breathing and did not dare to make any strange movements.
Gao Quan clenched his hands into fists, and his finger joints turned white from exerting too much force.
He also did not expect that Zheng Zhong would send a sect into the Hou Mansion to assassinate Wen Yue as soon as he got the news.
Zheng Zhong didn't know the information, so he only believed what the old Marquis said was about refining internal organs.
Fortunately, Wen Yue is an innate master, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
In addition to being angry, Gao Quan broke into a cold sweat.
What Zheng Zhong wants is not Wen Yue's life, what Zheng Zhong wants is his life.
Once Wen Yue dies, all his forces will feel that he has no hope, and then turn to Zheng Zhong's sect.
After all, eunuchs are the emperor's domestic slaves, and their respect for the eunuch is not as serious as they show. Who doesn't want to climb to the top and become the chief eunuch who is below one person and above tens of thousands of people.
It's okay if it doesn't lose power, but once it loses power, it will inevitably be a situation where the trees fall and the hozens scatter.
Therefore, in order to maintain itself, internal and external unity is needed.
It's easy to talk outside the court, but the battles in the inner court are even more cruel.
"Zheng Zhong must be killed and then someone else can be promoted to power."
"It's better to be a smart person. His Majesty doesn't like the friendship between the two eunuchs of the Nei Zhengsi."
Not to mention the friendship and harmony among the domestic servants in the inner court, the harmony between generals and prime ministers can only appear in historical materials and storybooks.
If it were to happen in reality, one of them would probably die.
The emperor's mentality is all about balance, and the most taboo is this kind of alliance between civil servants and military generals.
"Come on, Xun Sanlang, Cao Totou, Fu Totou..."
Now that Wen Yue has resurrected and is married to An Nanbo, Wen Yue is responsible for the power of both families.
It is even more important to enter the military camp as an innate master to accumulate military exploits.
In the future, Wen Yue's status will be high rather than low, and he will even become a famous figure in the military.
Then it's not easy for him to be captured here.
In the past, it was because of the absence of the Holy Family that Gao Quan could not help but feel that the situation was over. However, things were different now, and there was actually a reversal trend.
As the Nei Zhengsi becomes more lively, the commotion will inevitably become louder.
The people who were keeping an eye on Gao Quan's forces reported the matter to Zheng Zhong.
dusk.
It's not yet dusk.
The maple leaves on the back of the mountain are turning yellow.
The layers of forest are dyed, and it seems to have a fiery red meaning.
"Superintendent, Eunuch Gao's side seems to be uneasy."
The green-clothed eunuch who hurriedly entered the door said in a low voice.
Zheng Zhong frowned, he had not received news from the outside yet.
A whole day and night have passed.
Mr. Shen's previous news was quickly spread to the palace.
And the most important thing is that no news came back from the spies deployed to guard the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
Now that his old enemy was making strange moves again, he was really worried.
The worst plan is to fail in the assassination and be captured, and then be tortured to reveal him as the mastermind behind the scenes.
At the same time, he was also a little annoyed.
I was really angry yesterday, and I shouldn't have asked Mr. Shen to take action.
Now that Wen Yue has recovered, it is better to fight for it.
Anyone can see that Zheng Zhong has the better chance of winning.
He is only one step away from the three palm seals.
Gao Quan is already a thing of the past.
Anyone who can see the situation clearly can also tell clearly who should be standing next to.
Maybe I climbed too high, so I was careless and lost the courtesy and caution I once had.
I just feel that he is just the prince of the Marquis. Now that he has recovered, let him continue to be paralyzed.
But nothing in this world is completely certain.
What's more, he still ordered assassins to kill people.
The smartest thing is to take the initiative to show kindness, but at the same time maintain your own advantages, and finally use the momentum to overwhelm others.
"It's true that I acted too hastily."
Zheng Zhong murmured softly.
Compared with Gao Quan, he is younger and more energetic, and he came to the position earlier.
The method is not too clever, but the person is still somewhat smart.
Most importantly, he was as loyal to Emperor Liang as Gao Quan.
Compared with loyalty, no one is higher than anyone else.
Because to the eunuchs, Emperor Liang represented everything.
Being infertile means that they can only rely on the emperor in this life.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Zhong suppressed the regret in his heart.
Now that the decision has been made and such a big feud has been made, it is really difficult to be kind.
Even if Wen Yue surrenders, Zheng Zhong will be on guard against him and even look for opportunities to trick Wen Yue to death.
After all, he knew what he had done.
If someone else instigates an assassin to kill him, he will not give the other party any chance to defend himself.
"We have to cut the grass and root it out."
Zheng Zhong looked calm and solemn.
Regardless of whether his guess was correct or not, as long as Wen Yue was not dead, Wen Yue must be trampled to death without giving him any chance to recover.
Judging from this series of reactions, Zheng Zhong felt that Wen Yue was probably still alive.
Moreover, the old enemy Gao Quan is also on guard.
If you want to assassinate Wen Yue in Liangdu, you can only rely on party disputes to criticize him, and then charge him with indefensible charges.
But Wen Yue stayed at home and lived in the Marquis Mansion, so he had no such opportunity.
Let’s check the industries of the Hou Mansion again. Because the old Hou is timid, many gray industries are relatively simple.
The old Marquis is even more timid, he doesn't have much opinion but he doesn't make mistakes either.
Wen Yue himself was charitable and had a good reputation. It was difficult to find someone to accuse him of.
"Since we can't take action in Liangdu, let's wait for the opportunity."
"When marching and fighting, there will always be some mistakes."
Zheng Zhong looked as usual.
He has calmed down his anger and decided to take it seriously.
Don’t dare to underestimate Wen Yue anymore.
The army is about to set out.
There are people in the army to take care of him. As long as he retreats a little at the critical moment, Wen Yue will be killed.
It's easier and more subtle.
Having made a plan, Zheng Zhong decided to relax Wen Yue's vigilance first: "Go down and keep an eye on Wen Yue, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, but don't cause any conflict."
"If anyone doesn't listen to the advice, don't blame our family for being weak!"
The cold voice is intimidating.
The eunuch in green hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Don't worry, chief eunuch, I will definitely tell my subordinates."
"Just go."
