"Sister Run'er, wouldn't it be much easier for you to do your work this way?" Zhou Xingyun laughed.
"Okay! This matter is of great importance. The slave family must go to the palace immediately to discuss with the eldest princess."
"Sister Run'er, the eldest princess has a prejudice against me. Don't drag me into it, otherwise things will be difficult to handle. Also, the sixteenth prince has seen you and the eldest princess walking together many times, and he is already attracted to you.
If you are suspicious, please be careful in your actions." Zhou Xingyun cared about the beauty harmlessly.
"Mr. Zhou, are you afraid that the slave family will reveal its flaws and ask you to come out?" Jin Run'er heard the hidden meaning of Zhou Xingyun's words.
Zhou Xingyun was simply worried that when she reported the truth to the eldest princess, she accidentally exposed his details and let Han Qiumiao know that he was a traitor.
Jin Run'er silently thought that if Zhou Xingyun wanted to become the prince-in-law and the country's son-in-law, it would be too early to tell if it was exposed now. Once he has established his merits, obtained a marriage from the Queen Mother, and completely harmed Han Qiumiao, then would be the best time to expose his wolfish ambitions.
opportunity.
"Haha..." Zhou Xingyun smiled shyly: "Be careful in everything."
Zhou Xingyun's purpose of coming to Jin Run'er has been achieved. Next, he will wait for the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of War to fight each other. I believe that the Queen Mother will support the Minister of Hubu and do everything possible to bring down the Xuanyuan family and confiscate the military power from him.
When the officials who were eating and drinking in the restaurant saw her and Zhou Xingyun together, Jin Runer left the Juxian Building first, and Zhou Xingyun left leisurely after an hour.
Next, he was going to the Sixteenth Emperor's Mansion to present the memorial to the head of the Xuanyuan family.
However, what Zhou Xingyun said when he met the Emperor's Sixteenth Prince had completely different meanings from what Jin Run'er said when they met.
"The humble minister comes to see the emperor!"
"Zhou Aiqing has recovered. I see you are overjoyed. Is there any good news?"
Ever since Zhou Xingyun said that day that he wanted to persuade the Xuanyuan family and ask the Minister of War to submit a memorial, the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor had been waiting for his good news these days.
Today, Zhou Xingyun came to see him with his head held high, and things must have been almost done...
The Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor does not expect Zhou Xingyun to submit the memorial to the Minister of War today, but he hopes to hear relevant good news, such as progress is going well, and what will happen to the Minister of War in just a few days...
However, the sixteenth son of the emperor never expected that Zhou Xingyun was extremely efficient in doing things. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Xingyun hand over a fold of memorial with both hands.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty, the Minister of War, has decided to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, and recognize your master as the wise king!"
"!!!" The Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He took the memorial from Zhou Xingyun's hand and read it. Finally, his eyes stopped on the official seal. After confirming it again and again, he burst into laughter.
"God helps me! God helps me!" At this moment, the Sixteenth Emperor's son could only use these four words to describe his uncontrollable mood. Now he is only one step away from rising up to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor!
"Your Majesty, please do not take it lightly. Although the current situation is favorable to us, victory is not guaranteed. Through this incident, the Emperor should also have some understanding of the secret forces under the Empress Dowager's command. What's more... this matter is not simple."
Zhou Xingyun said silently: "The Empress Dowager sent the disciples of Baize Tiangong to arrest the Xuanyuan family siblings, which shows that she does not trust the Xuanyuan family. Now that the Baize Tiangong mission has failed, the Empress Dowager will definitely find ways to abolish the authority of the Minister of War."
"What Zhou Aiqing means is that we have to strike first?"
"No... we have no chance of winning if we take action now." Zhou Xingyun calmly analyzed that it is the end of the year, and almost all military attachés guarding the border have returned to Beijing for annual reports. There are too many unstable factors. Taking action at this time is not reckless, but stupid.
"I would like to hear Zhou Aiqing's opinion." The Sixteenth Emperor saw that Zhou Xingyun was confident. He seemed to understand the situation at hand and had a good plan to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. So far, except for you, me, and him, no one knows that the head of the Xuanyuan family has switched to our camp. On the surface, everything is as usual between the Emperor and the Minister of War, and they are confronting each other in the court.
Don't let outsiders see that you are joining forces. Privately, the head of the Xuanyuan family will ask the young master of the Xuanyuan family to keep in touch with us and help the emperor at critical moments."
The memorial that Zhou Xingyun handed to the Emperor's Sixteenth Son was forged by Xuanyuan Chongwu. Of course, he could not instruct the head of the Xuanyuan family to accompany the Emperor's Sixteenth Son to do important things side by side, so... everything can be done as usual.
Anyway, what Zhou Xingyun said is very reasonable. His blatant alliance with the Minister of War will definitely cause high tension among the prince faction. At that time, the Empress Dowager was determined to abolish the post of Minister of War, but they had no choice.
After all, Zhou Xingyun was right. It was the end of the year, and the generals guarding the borders gathered in Kyoto. For him to raise troops to rebel at this time was no different than seeking death.
"Well, those who want to achieve great things must be patient." The Sixteenth Prince nodded. He really couldn't let the people from the Prince's faction notice that he was colluding with the Xuanyuan family.
As long as he and the Xuanyuan family maintain their opposition in the court without arousing suspicion, when the military attachés guarding the border leave Beijing later in the year, they will be able to unite and take over the imperial city in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, I said before that the Empress Dowager must have become suspicious of the Xuanyuan family. If nothing else, she will try to deal with the Xuanyuan family. I just don't know which confidant the Empress Dowager will send to impeach the Minister of War..." Zhou Xingyun asked suspiciously,
Hinting at the sixteenth son of the emperor, the empress dowager was suspicious of the Minister of War. Unfortunately, she had no evidence of guilt and could not bring down the Xuanyuan family in a fair and just way.
"No matter who it is, I will not let him succeed." The Sixteenth Emperor finally managed to win over the head of the Xuanyuan family, and of course he would not just watch others remove him from power.
"Your Majesty, you must be cautious in everything. You must not act rashly. If someone is really unfavorable to the head of the Xuanyuan family, let the ministers handle it." Zhou Xingyun wanted to laugh. He just encouraged Jin Run'er to provoke a dispute between the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of the Ministry of War.
, and now he is stirring up trouble in front of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor.
Once Jin Runer's father impeaches the head of the Xuanyuan family in the court, the sixteenth son of the emperor will definitely be alert, because he subconsciously hinted... 'I don't know which of the confidants the empress dowager will send to impeach the minister of war'.
Tomorrow, Zhou Xingyun plans to go to Juxian Tower again to fool Jin Run'er so that he doesn't have to worry about the Sixteenth Emperor and can deal with the head of the Xuanyuan family with all his strength.
The Minister of Household Affairs angrily criticized the Minister of War, which was regarded as a matter of course in the eyes of most important officials in the court who did not know the truth.
Because everyone generally believes that the Minister of Hubu belongs to the camp of the sixteenth prince, and the Minister of Military Affairs belongs to the faction of the prince. It is normal for the two sides to fight in the court...
In this way, what is about to happen in the court is...
1. The Empress Dowager united with the Minister of Household Affairs to deal with the confused-looking Minister of the Ministry of War. Mrs. Xu and others did not help, or were unable to help.
2. The Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor further confirmed that the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue had turned to the Prince's faction. However, since he could not openly protect the Xuanyuan family, so as not to irritate Taifu Xu and others and make the situation in the court more chaotic, he could only follow Zhou Xingyun's arrangement and sit on the sidelines.
Watch the tiger fight.
This is a big chess game. As for the final outcome? It depends on Zhou Xingyun’s next arrangements...
Anyway, now he has deceived the left and the right, making Jin Run'er and the Sixteenth Emperor's son confused, and then enjoys the benefits of being a fisherman.
"Gather!" Zhou Xingyun beat gongs and drums in the courtyard again, calling his friends together.
Xu Zhiqian, Wei Suyao, Qi Li'an, Mo Nianxi, Mu Hanxing, Zheng Chengxue, Tang Yuanying, Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan, Guo Heng, Wu Jiewen, etc., all the boys and girls who had nothing to do came to the courtyard, and they didn't know why.
Looking at Zhou Xingyun.
"Hey, what on earth do you want to do by beating gongs and disturbing people's dreams so early in the morning?" Yu Wushuang complained very dissatisfied. Zhou Xingyun refused to sleep in in the middle of winter and called them into the yard. What on earth do you want to do?
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. After the last lesson, I understand that those who are weak will be bullied by others, so everyone must constantly strive to improve themselves and quickly improve their strength." Zhou Xingyun said refreshingly. Last night, he quietly ran to the moon room again.
I lit the lamp and played happily with the beautiful woman all night. Now I am so energetic that I can't sleep, so I just order my friends to practice.
"Are you worried about meeting the top warriors of Baize Tiangong?" Wei Suyao understood Zhou Xingyun's eagerness to improve his martial arts. During the last hunting expedition, they were ambushed by the masters of Baize Tiangong, and they were basically powerless to fight back.
Fortunately, the Saintess of Fengtian City arrived and was on par with the enemy's peak warriors, otherwise they would all be doomed.
"That's right! People in Jianghu are extremely dangerous. Hard fists are the truth! I originally thought that everyone was quite powerful, but now I find that our strength is far from enough." Zhou Xingyun originally thought that his small team was quite powerful, Jianghu
The top ten make up the majority, and they are second to none among the younger generation.
However, they are only better than today's young guys. Looking at the entire world, Qili'an is just a rookie in the martial arts world. His strength is at the middle level, on par with the deacons or elders of various sects.
The person who can be considered a first-line expert in the mansion is probably only Sister Rao Yue, who can barely compete with the headmasters of medium-sized sects.
"If you don't burn incense on a regular basis and just do your best temporarily, how can your martial arts be improved in a day or two?" Xiao Yun sat on the big tree in the courtyard and made sarcastic remarks.
Not long ago, when Zhou Xingyun and others were on a hunting expedition, they were attacked by the top masters of Baize Tiangong. Xiao Yun, a gossip, naturally asked about the situation.
Xiao Yun now regrets that if she had known this, she would have ignored the sect affairs and accompanied Zhou Xingyun and others to go hunting. Xiao Yun is really angry that she missed such a fun thing!
"Ahem, so we will have intensive training every day starting from today. No one is allowed to be lazy." Zhou Xingyun ignored Xiao Yun and continued to say to everyone: "Zhiqian, Luo Se, Shen Xin, Wan'er, you are not allowed to be lazy."
I will learn martial arts and sit in rows over there to practice my mental skills."
"I practice Qigong every day, now I can blow out the candles with a snap of my fingers." Xu Zhiqian flicked her fingers, and a wisp of breeze blew through Zhou Xingyun's hair.
"Do you think you are great? If I hadn't taught you luck step by step, you would have made rapid progress!" Zhou Xingyun casually grabbed the girl's long ponytail. If he hadn't been proficient in the meridians of the human body and could guide the luck of martial arts idiots, she thought she could have made rapid progress.
It only took a few months to master the basic internal skills and mental methods of Jianshu Villa.
