The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 300 He wants to reach the highest position step by step...

In the [-]th year of Chenghua, the palace of the capital.

At dusk, the owner of the palace, Wang Hua, returned home from the imperial city after a day's work.

"These eunuchs have really gone too far!"

Thirteen-year-old Xu Xin was drinking tea and chatting with Mr. Wang in the hall. Suddenly he heard a series of sounds, but Wang Hua came over with an angry look on his face, picked up the teacup on the table and poured it into his mouth. middle.

"My son, something happened in the court!"

Mr. Wang knew that Wang Hua had always been steady. If he lost his composure like this today, something big must have happened.

"Master Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War, was executed, but... how many days was he arrested by those eunuchs?"

"My son! Be careful what you say!"

When Mr. Wang heard Wang Hua mention the word eunuch again, he quickly reminded him not to talk nonsense.

In recent years, the emperor's health has become worse and worse, but he has also become more and more favored by the eunuchs. Many officials who talked nonsense have been killed. This also made everyone in the court panic.

"Father, I know!"

Wang Hua nodded. Although he sympathized with Yang Yuxuan's experience, he knew more clearly that nowadays eunuchs were so powerful that it was okay for him to complain at home, but to talk nonsense outside would bring disaster to the family. Therefore, he keeps a very strict tone outside and never makes random comments.

"It's good that you know, just be more careful during these days!"

Mr. Wang taught Wang Hua some principles of doing things. After the family had dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Xin had a small independent courtyard in the palace. After saying goodbye to his family in this life, he quickly changed his clothes and first went to a place in the east of the city to inquire about some news, and then went to a place in the west of the city that looked quite interesting. It is a simple mansion.

In this mansion late at night, Zhang Min, the most trusted eunuch of the Crown Prince Zhu Youtang, had just come back to rest after a day's work. Just as he was about to rest, he suddenly found that beside his bed, there was a silent sound. There is an extra figure.

"Eunuch Zhang, I hope you'll forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!"

A man in black appeared in front of Zhang Min. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at it. Through the faint moonlight that diffused into the room through the window, he could vaguely see a tall and burly silhouette, which shocked him even more.

Zhang Min's martial arts is not weak, but he did not find any trace of the person in front of him before, which proves that the man in black in front of him has very high light skills.

However, this man's body shape is very "burly". Generally, people of this size are unlikely to be good at speed, so this man's martial arts is most likely far superior to Zhang Min's, and he can easily kill him.

"Who is your master? Why did you come to see a disabled man like this old slave?"

Zhang Min suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke quietly to test.

"Eunuch Zhang, do you know that Mr. Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was executed during the day!"

"I heard that when he was beheaded, there was no blood spattered. It seemed that he had been dead long ago."

The man in black made a sound without any emotion, which made Zhang Min unable to judge the origin and purpose of the person in front of him.

Zhang Min said calmly: "Your Majesty, my old servant, although I am also from Dongchang, I am on duty in the Department of Ceremonies. Mr. Yang Yuxuan's affairs are handled by Cao Shaoqin. You should go to him." "

"I will naturally look for Cao Shaoqin. I came to see Eunuch Zhang today for another matter. I heard that Cao Shaoqin is about to die."

The words of the man in black made Zhang Min's eyes flash. What this man said seemed to have a mismatch between the preface and the follower. It was a sentence with an incorrect order of words. But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be hinting at something. "He will go find Cao Shaoqin. Cao Shaoqin is about to die? Could it be that... the man in front of me is planning to kill Cao Shaoqin?"

Zhang Min thought this in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he replied: "Your words are a bit too much! Mr. Cao is in his prime years..."

"Cao Shaoqin is ready to eradicate the root cause, let Yang Yuxuan's heirs escape, and lure out Yang Yuxuan's old subordinates and friends. He will follow behind and kill everyone. He is also ready to do it himself and will leave tonight. Capital City!”

The man in black continued: "Once Cao Shaoqin leaves the city, he will never come back. Eunuch Zhang should understand what I mean!"

"What do you mean when you tell me this news? What do you want?"

Zhang Min thought, if Cao Shaoqin really never comes back, that would be a good thing for him.

There are many hills and resources in the East Factory. If I know the news of Cao Shaoqin's death in advance, I can make plans in advance and launch my attack immediately when the news comes to bite off a big piece of fat. If the person in front of me tells him this news, he must have something to appeal to.

"Eunuch Zhang is really happy, so I won't hide it from your father-in-law. I want to use this news to exchange Eunuch Zhang for a promise to let you introduce my people to contact His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You want to be with His Highness the Crown Prince...who are you?"

Zhang Min suddenly became nervous when he heard the man in black mention the prince.

The prince Zhu Youtang regarded him as an elder, and he was naturally loyal to the prince. Over the years, no one has tried to contact the prince through him, but they have all been rejected by him. He does not want to embarrass the prince because of his "favor".

"My father-in-law will naturally know who I am in the future. When the news of Cao Shaoqin's death comes, I will come to my father-in-law again to fulfill today's promise!"

After the man in black said these words, he seemed to turn into a shadow of chaos and disappeared in front of Zhang Min in an instant, which scared the old eunuch into a cold sweat.

"What a scary guy. When did such a master come to the capital?"

Zhang Min recalled every detail of his previous contact with the man in black, and finally shook his head helplessly. There was no clue for him to trace.

"Since this person has brought such news, then Cao Shaoqin will probably... be able to plan something about this matter!"

After Zhang Min thought hard to no avail, he gave up the idea of ​​exploring the identity of the man in black. At the same time, he also thought about it and prepared to start planning tomorrow to try to wipe out all the forces and resources under Cao Shaoqin's command.

Outside the "Zhang Mansion" here, a figure of a man in black suddenly appeared. Xu Xin took off his scarf, changed into another set of clothes, and then walked in the other direction of the capital.

People like him grew up in the capital. In addition to collecting all kinds of information about the court and the world, they also ran industries and built intelligence networks.

This time he was able to accurately learn the news that Cao Shaoqin was leaving Beijing tonight, which was due to the intelligence network.

During the years he was dormant in the capital, he boldly and clearly made a few pieces of news that he was particularly concerned about.

The occurrence of Cao Shaoqin's killing of Yang Yuxuan also represents the beginning of the plot of the "Dragon Gate" series.

Xu Xin had deduced the circumstances of this plot a long time ago and had a strict plan. Coming to see Zhang Min today to ask for a promise was just part of the plan. He wants to complete his plan step by step and reach the highest position.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinxin's eyes gradually became calm and he looked into the distance. If Cao Shaoqin leaves Beijing this time, he will never come back again.
