Chapter 1357: Intentional
Guo Xiancheng walked angrily on the path leading to the back garden of the Chief Minister's Mansion. The butler of the Tian Mansion who accompanied him had to trot and follow him, trying hard to accompany him with a smile. It seemed that Guo Xiancheng was very rude to him before. The seventh-rank official of the Prime Minister's Party and the role of the Grand Butler of the Tian Mansion, even in a place like Chang'an where high-ranking officials are as numerous as a cow, can be named, and there are not many people who can show his face.
But Guo Xiancheng is one of them.
"Master, Dashuai, my master is resting at noon at this time. My master has this habit, so Dashuai must know it." The panting butler said, Guo Xiancheng was about to break in, but he couldn't stop him. Of course, it was impossible to call the servants in the mansion to stop him.
"So what if you have this habit? You have to change it today!" Guo Xiancheng said in a bad shape, "I can't kill anyone without lunch or hurt my body."
The housekeeper was speechless.
Guo Xiancheng suddenly stopped. Under the thick shade of the trees in front, an old man in a short jacket was lying on a cool bed. Several maids in the same coolness were shaking there gently with fans. When he saw Guo Xiancheng appear suddenly, he stood up in unison, like frightened birds flying into the woods behind.
Guo Xiancheng paused for a while a little embarrassed. He had not considered this section before, but actually hit Tian Fen's inner relatives.
But after just a moment of pause, he took another big strode.
Tian Fen stretched his waist and sat up from the cold bed, looking at Guo Xiancheng helplessly, "The villain came to the door."
Tian Fen stayed in the prison for a long time. As the weather became hotter and hotter, the placement in the prison was not very comfortable, and he was not very suitable to stay at his age. In addition, the Bozhou Rebellion lasted for a long time, the current public opinion in Qi State gradually changed from condemning the court forcing Zhou Shuguang to now. Attacking Zhou Shuguang was ruthless, Tian Fen also took the opportunity to return home from the prison.
At this point, the whole country of Qi had already understood the emperor's determination. Although the Bozhou Rebellion was limited to Bozhou, the chaos affected several counties, and the emperor had no intention of attracting peace. This was the intention of not giving up until it was wiped out. Moreover, Tian Fen was forced to be dismissed at that time, but the emperor would rather leave the prime minister than worship him again. Everyone knew what he wanted to do.
Tian Fen has been above the chief minister for many years and is extremely skilled in the domestic affairs of Qi. After he left this position, there have been many problems in the operation of Qi's domestic affairs. The momentum of calling on him to come out again has gradually become stronger, and he is about to take power again and openly.
Guo Xiancheng walked to Tian Fen with a tiger's face and sat opposite Tian Fen, "Sincere assistant, your son-in-law did a good thing!"
"What did he do to make the general so angry?" Tian Fen asked with a smile.
"Prime Minister, don't say you don't know." Guo Xiancheng said angrily. "I know, even today, several groups of people have come to your door."
"So you came too?" Tian Fen laughed, "Master, you don't think about it."
"There is nothing to be thoughtful about." Guo Xiancheng said dissatisfiedly: "It is related to the safety of His Highness the Prince. If Guo doesn't come, who will be? We want to develop a navy and build more warships, but a mere Ning Zhiwen can play a role in changing the world? How can he compare with His Highness the Prince?"
Tian Fen looked at Guo Xiancheng deeply and said helplessly: "Yes, how can Ning Zhiwen's identity and function be compared with His Highness the Prince? Then why did Qin Feng do this? He even made a sound of wind and wanted to hold the Prince's Palace down to exchange for Ning Zhiwen? This news spread from Yuejing City to our Chang'an, which was too fast, right?"
Guo Xiancheng couldn't help but be stunned. He was worried about Cao Yun's safety, but he really didn't have the clues to think about it.
"In private, the news spread, but nothing happened to the official side. If Qin Feng really wanted to do this, why was he so low-key? Ning Zhiwen was a member of the Chu State in public. How dare Qin Feng ask what reason did Qin Feng stand out for Ning Zhiwen? Just because he is Ning Zeyuan's father?" Tian Fen continued.
"I really didn't want to think about this issue." Guo Xiancheng finally calmed down.
Tian Fen sneered: "Qin Feng is really a man who will not suffer any losses. Taking this opportunity, he began to alienate His Highness the Prince and His Majesty the Emperor again."
"Disaster?"
"Didn't you jump up?" Tian Fen knocked on the bamboo bed and looked at Guo Xiancheng. "There are so many people jumping up in Chang'an City in the past two days. There are many people from wealthy families, but there are also many people like you. Do you know that the more people jump up like this, the more uneasy the Emperor will feel!"
Guo Xiancheng was slightly shocked and suddenly realized that his behavior was inappropriate. According to Tian Fen, if he did this, wouldn’t he push His Highness the Prince into the mud again?
Seeing that Guo Xiancheng had some clarity, Tian Fen sighed: "Even you jumped up, I knew the problem was a bit serious. Do you know what I worry about the most now? It's the army. If a general who holds heavy troops like Xian Bisong jumped up because of this matter, then the situation would be really serious."
"I'm afraid something will happen." Guo Xiancheng said uneasy: "As a rule, Xian Bisong should have a good time with me first after saying such a thing, but now, his place is too quiet, and I'm worried that he will just submit a note."
"I tried my best to make Your Majesty feel a little relieved when I happened last time, but it was obvious that Your Majesty did not press down on her thoughts. This time, Cao Hui's actions were not only for the navy, but also for the sake of fishing!"
"You mean Cao Hui's actions, you don't know?" Guo Xiancheng was a little disbelief.
"Master, it's true that Cao Hui is my son-in-law, but don't forget that he is also the commander of the ghost, and is directly under the command of His Majesty." Tian Fen rolled his eyes, "Do you think Cao Hui will come to report to me whatever he does? On many issues, the opinions of our father-in-law and son-in-law are sharply opposed. Don't you not know this?"
"I thought you were just acting!" Guo Xiancheng said uncontrollably.
Tian Fen snorted: "Who said that the general is so stupid? You have a slight elbow of mind. You can think of such things. As soon as this happened, I knew that Your Majesty was worried about His Highness the Prince. He wanted to take advantage of His Highness the Prince to take the opportunity to clean up! At this time, whoever jumps happily and who jumps high, then wait for His Majesty to deal with it! As for the matter of using Ning Zhiwen to exchange for the navy, it is just to grab a rabbit and beat the rabbit. By the way, it doesn't matter if you can do it."
Guo Xiancheng stood up suddenly, turned around and wanted to walk out.
"Stop, come back." Tian Fen shouted: "What do you want to do?"
"Xian Bisong must have made a note, I have to stop him!" Guo Xiancheng said.
"Xian Bisong is in charge of the general, holding the power of several counties and has tens of thousands of troops under his command. His memorials go directly to the Tongzhengsi. If you really intercept them, what will Your Majesty think of you? Do you also want to jump into this muddy water?" Tian Fen snorted coldly.
"I have jumped in." Guo Xiancheng said helplessly.
"Who said? You came to my mansion to discuss the rehabilitation of Bozhou. What does it have to do with this matter?" Tian Fen stood up and waved to the housekeeper: "I am ready for the court ward. I want to change my clothes into the palace. The Grand Marshal will go with me."
"Can Your Majesty believe this?" Guo Xiancheng couldn't help laughing and crying.
"What is important is not to believe it or not, but your attitude." Tian Fen glanced at him: "This matter would not be so easy to understand. Look, Qin Feng is so powerful. He can see through what His Majesty wants at first glance and immediately deliver it to His Majesty. He will definitely make trouble with this matter next."
"Since that's the case, the Prime Minister and I entered the palace this time, we must analyze it clearly with Your Majesty. We must not let Your Majesty and Your Prince make you dirty. This is a sign of chaos!" Guo Xiancheng sighed.
Tian Fen raised his head to the sky, and was stunned for a while before saying, "Your Majesty's temperament cannot be changed, and he is always a little suspicious. I am now worried that His Highness will really be cold after learning about His Majesty's next measures?"
"No, Your Highness the Prince has always been loyal to His Majesty, I dare to guarantee this."
"You'd better not to make a promise. You are a great coach. The most important thing now is to put yourself in the right position. The hearts of this person are all made of flesh, not a heart of iron. How can you stand this kind of rubbing? If you have too many times, even the loyal people will inevitably have many more ideas." Tian Fen said sadly.
Guo Xiancheng also fell silent. What Tian Fen said was Cao Yun. He first quit his military power according to His Majesty's wishes and retreated from court affairs. He was a woman who was drunk every day. If His Majesty then began to cleanse His Highness the Prince's subordinates, I am afraid that His Highness the Prince would be really dissatisfied.
"Why did those people from wealthy families dance so happily this time and shout loudly in the court? Didn't they just see this? Over the past few months, the Ming people have been working hard to create conflicts between His Highness the Prince and the Emperor, and it seems that they have really succeeded." Tian Fen said.
"Your Majesty will not not understand this, why do you still do this?" Guo Xiancheng said a little discouraged.
"Because the imperial power must not be threatened at all! Even if it is potential, it will not work." Tian Fen said.
"If we can't get the things from the Ming army's navy this time, wouldn't we lose a lot of money!"
"Maybe it can be found." Tian Fen suddenly laughed, "Who can tell me!"
A moment later, the two of them left the gate of the Chief Auxiliary Mansion. When they were about to go to the palace, they rode several fast horses but rushed over. The leader was a eunuch. Seeing Tian Fen and Guo Xiancheng together, they were stunned, then jumped off the horse and saluted them: "Master Tian, Your Majesty is eager to call you into the palace." They stood up and looked at Guo Xiancheng: "Originally, the villain was going to go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, but they didn't want the Grand Marshal to be here, but they let the villain run less."
Tian Fen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not very happy?"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, looked at the two of them, and whispered: "It's not just unhappy, it's Thunder who is furious."
