The best little eunuch

Chapter 27 Subduing Qi Heihu

Chapter 27 Subduing Qi Heihu

"Let's just say, you were still losing yesterday, why did you go back and rest for a while, you are so good. I dare say so!" The queen mother looked at Yongning and said.She is still wondering why Yongning is so powerful all of a sudden.I always wondered if Yongning was playing tricks, but after several consecutive rounds, I found that Yongning was well-behaved, and the queen mother gave up.Now that Yongning said this, the Queen Mother finally understands.

When Qiuxiang heard Princess Yongning's words, she looked at Lin Feng pointedly, which made Lin Feng feel guilty. Although he did not do anything, at most he saw some things that should not be seen, but in principle, he did not take the initiative. Look!

The reason why she kept winning was discovered by the Queen Mother. Princess Yongning felt a little uncomfortable, so she stood up quickly and said: "I think Eunuch Lin must have something to do when he came to see the Queen's Wife. Yongning left and will come to visit the Queen's Wife another day." After speaking, he ran away without waiting for the queen mother to reply.Only Lin Feng was left confused in the eyes of the Queen Mother and Qiu Xiang asking.

"Did you enter the palace yesterday?" Qiuxiang asked.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng walked between the queen mother and Qiuxiang, hugged each other, and said, "Yes, I came to the palace to look for you yesterday, but was called by Princess Yongning." Lin Feng told what happened yesterday. After a while, of course, Lin Feng naturally skipped what should not be said.If all the truth was told, wouldn't that overturn the jar of jealousy?
"I don't care, you have to tell me the secret to victory!" Pulling Lin Feng, Qiu Xiang said coquettishly.

"Er..." Lin Feng was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't have any secrets to win, at most it was just some experience talk. "Is there any secret to winning? I'll teach you some skills." Lin Feng said, repeating what he said to Princess Yongning, while the Queen Mother and Qiuxiang listened like curious babies.

After listening to Lin Feng's speech, the Queen Mother asked, "What's the matter with you entering the palace today?" After all, I had asked Lin Feng's editorial office to investigate Li Henian for a while, so I don't know what's going on?Now Li Henian is becoming more and more domineering in the court. If he is allowed to continue like this, the Queen Mother has no doubt that Li Henian will embark on the road of seeking to usurp the throne.

"Yes, about Li Henian." Lin Feng said.

Nodding silently, the Queen Mother stood up and said to Lin Feng: "Go inside and talk." After speaking, she got up first, and Lin Feng quickly followed.Qiu Xiang went to pour tea for Lin Feng and the Queen Mother.

"How's the situation?" The queen mother asked impatiently as soon as she entered.

"I see you are in a hurry." Seeing the anxious look of the Queen Mother, Lin Feng couldn't help but patted the Queen Mother's waist lightly, which made Lin Feng's heart flutter for a while.

After giving Lin Feng a blank look, the queen mother sat on a chair and said, "Can you not be in a hurry? Li Henian is going too far now, and he actually wants to concurrently serve as the captain of the Military Affairs Academy. He wants to be caught by the military and political affairs. If he controls the army, I'm afraid he will have to prepare to usurp the throne in the next step."

"Li Henian actually started plotting against the Military Academy?" Lin Feng asked.The Military Affairs Council of the Yan Dynasty was the highest command department of all the armies in the country, nominally commanding all the armies in the country.However, they do not have the authority to transfer troops, and they need to give orders to the Ministry of War.The Military Affairs Council is more responsible for the arrangement and selection of generals and the issuance of seals.

Now Li Henian's people control the Ministry of War. Although they have the authority to deploy troops, they need the Military Affairs Council to issue orders, and the Military Affairs Council is not under Li Henian's control. Therefore, whether they can control the Military Affairs Council is up to Li Henian. The key to usurping the throne.

Sighing, the queen mother continued: "Yes, if it weren't for this, the Ai family really wouldn't be afraid of what Li Henian would do. Although the Ai family can't do anything to him, the emperor will grow up one day. Clean up Li Henian. But now Li Henian can't wait any longer, and he actually tried to get involved in the army. This time, they asked the court to remove my father's position as a captain and change the It will be concurrently held by Li Henian."

"What's the situation in the Military Academy now?" Lin Feng asked.To be honest, Lin Feng's mind has never been on the Military Affairs Academy. It turns out that the Taiwei of the Military Affairs Academy is the queen mother's father, and now the emperor's pro-grandfather, Zhenguo General Zhao Qing.

"The Military Affairs Council mainly manages the appointment and dismissal of some military officers. The most important thing now is to curb the power of the Ministry of War. My father has never dared to slack off. Although he is far away from the border, he will basically handle some important matters of the Military Affairs Council. But After all, they are not in the capital, so it is still inconvenient to deal with, this is also an excuse for Li Henian and the others to attack and annihilate my father, in order to make my father hand over the power of the Military Affairs Council." The queen mother seemed to remember Li Henian's various practices, and she couldn't help but put on her face. There was a wave of anger.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng asked: "Is there any suitable person in the court to take up the post of Taiwei of the Military Affairs Academy?" Li Henian and the others were indeed looking for a good excuse. You are not in the capital, how do you handle official business, so this position is still reserved. Let it out.

After carefully thinking about the courtiers that could be used in the court, the queen mother said: "At present, the only suitable candidate is the old grand master, but he is too old, and I am afraid that he will also become an excuse for Li Henian and the others to attack and annihilate."

Hearing the queen mother mention the old grand master, Lin Feng also thought of this person. He was also exempted from kneeling during the moon feast.However, when the queen mother asked him what he meant, he didn't speak at all. Obviously, he didn't want to offend Li Henian either.I am afraid that even if he is appointed as the Taiwei of the Military Affairs Academy, he will refuse. If he can't refuse, it is just a name, and he will never go against Li Henian.So, this is definitely not a suitable candidate.

"The old master can't do it." Lin Feng expressed his thoughts.

The queen mother also nodded after hearing this, and said: "You are right, but the current situation is indeed like this. The Ai family really can't find a suitable person. The most important thing is, unless it is a person of high morals, Otherwise, Li Henian will definitely oppose it with all his strength. There is no other way."

"Offense is the best defense. Let's make Li Henian so exhausted that he won't have time to think about it." Lin Feng said, and told the Queen Mother what he and Liu Rufeng discussed.

After listening to Lin Feng's words carefully, the Queen Mother thought about it from the beginning to the end, and asked: "This matter is indeed big or small, but I'm afraid it will not be so easy to bring down Li Henian. At that time, I'm afraid it will be a scapegoat." It's just a matter of coming."

"Even if this is the case, it is enough to give Li Henian a headache for a while. Moreover, I believe in Liu Rufeng, and I believe that the person who hates Li Henian the most in the court must be Liu Rufeng. Liu Rufeng will definitely make use of this matter. With so many court officials Shi, Li Henian's life will definitely not be easy. Take this opportunity to eradicate some of Li Henian's henchmen, and it will not be a big problem." Lin Feng comforted him, dispelling the worries in the queen mother's heart. If the queen mother is so vacillating, Liu Rufeng may feel that Lin Feng In fact, if he was used as a spear, then Liu Rufeng would fall to Li Henian instead.

Nodding her head, the queen mother said: "Although the words are so, if it is really implemented, there are still many difficulties. If it were so easy, Liu Rufeng would probably have done it a long time ago. How could he wait until now?"

"Liu Rufeng will find a way. After so many years of training in the officialdom, Liu Rufeng will not be a fuel-efficient lamp." Lin Feng continued.Since Liu Rufeng was able to agree, there is a way for Liu Rufeng to think about it, otherwise Liu Rufeng would not agree so painfully.

"I hope so," said the Queen Mother, with a sigh.Obviously, she is not very optimistic about Liu Rufeng, after all, like Li Henian, Liu Rufeng must be weak.The only ones he could mobilize were the censors who had no real power, and Li Henian's side were all powerful high-ranking officials with high positions.

Feeling that the Queen Mother's attitude was somewhat negative, Lin Feng said: "Queen Mother, at this time, we must let the courtiers who are dissatisfied with Li Henian see that the court is also dissatisfied with Li Henian, and the court is standing with them. Talented people will stand up bravely, gather together, and work hard to bring down Li Henian."

"Well, you are right. The Ai family is indeed too negative. Don't worry, the Ai family will definitely appear in the morning court tomorrow, and the Ai family must let all the courtiers know that the Ai family is now in the court, so we cannot let them I have lost confidence in the royal family." The queen mother changed her negative attitude just now and said to Lin Feng.

However, just after finishing speaking, the queen mother felt a little self-deceiving, and said: "I don't know how many officials in the court who are not from Li Henian's party. In the past year, Li Henian has used his power to eradicate a large number of dissidents and cultivate party members. , and even many provinces are about to become Li Henian's backyard, and most of the officials in a province come from Li Henian's disciples."

"Li Henian is a giant now. We can only cut off his wings bit by bit. This process cannot be rushed, otherwise it will backfire." Lin Feng said to the queen mother, if Li Henian is pushed into a hurry, Li Henian will come directly to the palace , I'm afraid the emperor is really hard to deal with.Even if Li Henian failed to force the palace, he could escape from the capital, and those princes sealed by the imperial court in various places would take Li Henian in.With Li Henian's help, those princes would be even more powerful.I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos by then.Therefore, Lin Feng couldn't help being cautious about this matter.

Nodding her head, the queen mother said: "The Ai family knows the seriousness of this matter. If it wasn't for fear of completely driving Li Henian into a hurry, the Ai family would have sent someone to arrest Li Henian. Although Li Henian has power in the government, his tentacles in the army are still there. Nothing went in."

"That's good, let's discuss things about tomorrow morning." Lin Feng said, and began to discuss with the Queen Mother, and also carefully talked about his plan with Liu Rufeng, so that the Queen Mother had an idea in advance.

That night, Lin Feng naturally stayed in the palace for the night. Since he had to go to court the next day, Lin Feng, the Queen Mother, and Qiu Xiang did not indulge in excesses.

The next day, Lin Feng got up early, tidied up briefly, and after eating the breakfast prepared in the imperial dining room, Lin Feng accompanied the queen mother and walked towards the Hall of Qinzheng. Inexplicably, Lin Feng felt a little nervous in his heart. The person they have to deal with is Li Henian. Li Henian, who is well versed in the rules of officialdom, can he succeed?Lin Feng drew a big question mark in his heart.

But thinking that he has Liu Rufeng, the same veteran in the officialdom, as his helper, Lin Feng finally calmed down.Even if this attack fails, it will not cause any trouble to the Queen Mother and Lin Feng. Not only the Queen Mother knows this, but Liu Rufeng also knows it.If he fails, Liu Rufeng must be responsible for the final consequences. It is impossible for the queen mother to excuse him, but it may make him worse. As a veteran in the officialdom, Liu Rufeng knows better than anyone else.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Rufeng agreed, and Lin Feng felt that the probability of success in this matter was very high. If not, why would Liu Rufeng agree to it at such a high risk? Could it be that Liu Rufeng is really that kind of loyal minister?Not to mention that Lin Feng didn't believe it, even Liu Rufeng himself didn't believe it. At their level, where did the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism go?
"Do you think you can bring down Li Henian today?" The queen mother asked Lin Feng on the way to Qinzheng Hall.For the first time in her life, the queen mother was so nervous, even on the wedding night, the queen mother had never been so nervous before.

Smiling at the Queen Mother, Lin Feng said: "Don't worry, it will definitely succeed." Since there were other eunuchs and maids in the palace, Lin Feng did not do anything inappropriate.

She also nodded at Lin Feng, and the queen mother said: "It will be successful." After speaking, as if to cheer herself up, the queen mother's slightly frowning brows also relaxed, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and court ladies , walked towards the Hall of Qinzheng.

When the Empress Dowager arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng, most of the ministers had come, Liu Rufeng was standing on the left hand side, but Li Henian hadn't appeared yet, and neither had the emperor.

After a while, Li Henian appeared in the Hall of Qinzheng.As soon as Li Henian appeared, ministers immediately greeted him with flattery.Let Liu Rufeng on one side frown frequently, expressing dissatisfaction.

"The emperor is here!" Just as the ministers were courting Li Henian for fear of flattery, the prince's sharp voice sounded. Following the sound, all the ministers returned to the train and bowed down. The entire Qinzheng Hall Only Li Henian was left standing alone.Because Li Henian could face the king without kneeling, he just bent slightly, which was regarded as a salute.

"Everyone is flat." The emperor's immature voice sounded.However, although the voice was immature, it did not appear weak.Already faintly carrying a trace of majesty, this is a kind of majesty from the superior.

When all the ministers stood up, the prince took a step forward and shouted loudly: "There is an early performance, and you have nothing to do." This is just the prince's daily routine. Although it is very annoying, it has been like this since ancient times Set the rules, there is no way.

As soon as Eunuch Wang's words fell, an official wearing a green robe stood up and said, "Report to the emperor, I have something to play."

"Aiqing, please tell me." The emperor's immature voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." As the official said, he took out a memorial from his bosom, and said, "My Majesty, I found out that during the imperial examination the year before last, someone bribed Lan Yi, the chief examiner who was in charge of the imperial examination. clear."

"What evidence do you have?" As soon as the official finished speaking, Lan Yiqing, the Minister of Rites, stood up and asked the official.Although he did it himself, and there are not a few people who know about it, but those people are his cronies, and most of them have benefited. Who didn't accept some bribes in this imperial examination.Therefore, Lan Yiqing believed that no one would tell this matter, because if they did, none of them would be able to escape.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair heard the official's memorial and glanced at Li Henian's position, not knowing what to do?He knew that Lan Yiqing was Li Henian's favorite student, so he really didn't know how to deal with this matter now?
