Chapter 161: Advancing while thinking about retreating(2/2)

Since the things have been moved here, she cannot be allowed to move them back. Fortunately, the things Ni Chenyi brought are not fancy, and they are quite heavy in color and shape.

Before everyone in the Ni Mansion left, the catchers who had followed Datou to buy horses came back. They bought all three hundred horses and were driven by several horse sellers to deliver them to their doorsteps.

Datou didn't come back with him, he went to find a place to make famous thorns.

Hu horses are taller and stronger than horses from the Central Plains and can run faster, but they are also more expensive. Normal horses cost five taels per horse, while Hu horses cost eight taels of silver.

So many horses were added at once, and the stables were not enough. Fortunately, there were plenty of buildings, which could be renovated quickly. This made the group of craftsmen busy. There was not enough manpower and they could only be divided into two. A few people were separated to take the censor.

The policemen from Taiwan went to renovate the stables.

At this time, the Yamen servant came to report again, and only the Minister of Hubu came to visit.

As soon as I heard that the Minister of Hubu had arrived, he immediately knew that what he said in the court yesterday had been leaked. Yesterday, when he heard that Hubu was in arrears with the salary of the officials at Yushitai, he had said that he would give people some color.

I heard the news and came over to "surrender".

In fact, it is not surprising that the Ministry of Finance is so nervous. A doctor who dared to beat the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and was fine after the beating. God knows who he will dislike next. It is undoubtedly a wise move to take the initiative to make friends with him.

Too lazy to meet guests, and seeing that it was rare to be clean, he simply took the pile of law books and hid out. The censor's platform was closer to Xuanwu Gate in the north, so he rode out of the city from the north gate this time.

Originally, he wanted to find a secluded place in the mountains and stay for half a day, but it was cold in winter and no one could stay outside. Fortunately, there was an inn nearby, so he ran to the inn.

The postmen at the post station were talking about what happened in the city yesterday. Who

I once wanted to say that Cao Cao had arrived, but the dignified imperial censor came to inspect the post in person. This frightened the post chief and a group of post soldiers to death. Fortunately, the young Xiantai master was not as arrogant as the legend said.

Domineering, I just found a room with a fire pit to read quietly.

We had lunch at the inn. He was worried that the inn would be messy, so he asked for noodle soup. He didn't leave after lunch. He liked the fire pit in the inn, so he finished reading the books he brought and then fell asleep again.

Half an hour.

After waking up, he was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, he lay down with his eyes closed and pondered. What he was thinking about was not the martial arts competition the day after tomorrow, but how to eradicate the eunuchs.

The general direction has been thought out before, keep a low profile and bide your time. Once the time is right, we will immediately wipe out the eunuchs with lightning speed.

What he was thinking about this time was how to grasp the time and control the rhythm.

When thinking about something, no one can think of a complete and mature solution at once. They first come up with a roughly feasible idea based on the actual situation, and then gradually refine it and finally take shape. Although they are talented and extremely talented

Even those who are smart and think about problems cannot escape this process.

He knows that he is very smart, but at the same time he also knows that his opponent is very smart. They say that Jiang is old and spicy, and this is true. He has no confidence at all in the battle of wits and courage with the cunning Eunuch Dang.

The more he learns, the worse the situation becomes for him.

The reason why the eunuchs dared to let him take over as the imperial censor was precisely because they underestimated him and thought that he was young and no matter how smart he was, he would never be as wise as a demon.

His position was appointed by the emperor, and the eunuch is not a fool. It is impossible not to know why the emperor appointed him as the imperial censor. In other words, the eunuch has already guessed what the emperor wants him to do.

Next, he will let the eunuch party take advantage of him. In the view of the eunuch party, even if he wants to eliminate the eunuch party and rectify the administration of officials, he must find out the situation before taking action, and it takes time to find out the situation.

Take action at a time when the eunuch thinks it is impossible for him to take action.

He was originally a Taoist priest and knew nothing about the situation in Chang'an. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a year to figure out the intricate relationships between the court and officials.

But he couldn't last that long. He was surrounded by not only the emperor's informants, but also the eunuch's informants. During this year, no matter how cautious he was and how he restrained his mind, he would inadvertently reveal his flaws and follow the enemy.

The more you learn about yourself, the more fearful and defensive you become.

He knows how much he weighs. If the eunuchs completely find out his details, confront each other head-on, and compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage, he will definitely not be his opponent. He has been wandering all the way, and has grown his mind through hardships, and how many times the other party has.

Ten years in officialdom are not in vain, and so many years of salt are not in vain.

Absolutely not one year, half a year?

It is also dangerous. The opponent is too powerful. The emperor can find out his details. Naturally, the eunuchs can also. If they know everything he has done since he left Wang Jiakuang, not only can he deduce his temper, but also his personality.

At what level is the mind?

Three months, at most three months, and you have to take action in the first month of the next year at the latest. During this period, you can't underestimate the enemy. It's useless to pretend to be stupid. You have to hide your mind a little and work hard to show your edge.

When faced with being courted by eunuchs, you cannot immediately pretend to agree. You must show firmness but a slight looseness.

These three months have not been easy. He beat his subordinates yesterday in order to eradicate the eunuchs one day, and his subordinates can immediately carry out the execution.

The same is true for buying horses. As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. Once you make a move, you must be quick and quick, and do not give the other party any chance to tip off the information.

After thinking about the general outline, he opened his eyes and sat up, secretly encouraging himself. He didn't like this kind of intrigue and racking his brains. To put it bluntly, he didn't like to be involved in officialdom. Fortunately, he lived in this kind of intrigue.

It won't last forever. The day the eunuch falls is the moment he is freed.

Firstly, he wanted to be freed, and secondly, even if he wanted to be the imperial doctor, the emperor would not allow him, because the emperor only asked him to be the imperial doctor because he was the best candidate to deal with the eunuchs, and once the court was in peace,

, his mentality and temperament are not suitable for continuing to serve as a censor, because then the emperor will find that he has the potential to be a leader and will pose a threat to himself.
