After Cheng Wujie left home, he drove to Tang Pidian's mansion by carriage. The more he thought about these things, the more terrifying he felt.

On the street, two carriages passed by, and Cheng Wujie happened to see it when he looked out the window.

The drivers of the two carriages and the people in front and behind the carriages made Cheng Wujie feel slightly moved.

Because of someone like him, you can see at a glance that the people outside the two carriages are masters.

But he didn't have much trouble, because he probably could see that these masters came from the army.

He is too familiar with the temperament and behavior of those people.

Of course he didn't know that the person in one of the carriages was Guan Mo, and the person in the other carriages was the Qian Office of the Tingwei Mansion.

The former Minister of Personnel, the outside world thought that he had died long ago, but after being secretly detained by the Tingwei Mansion for a while, he would be sent out of Chang'an to hide.

Cheng Wujie had something in mind and just wanted to go to see Tang Pidian quickly. However, he thought that the person in the carriage was the most critical of what he was worried about.

When he arrived at Tang Pidian's mansion, he learned that Tang Pidian was not at home, but went to Ningjun camp outside Chang'an City.

Tang Piddi thought that it was okay anyway, so he simply went to the camp to find the general, so he asked the coachman to leave the city.

At the same time, there is a town more than ten miles outside the city, which is quite large.

There is a teahouse at the entrance of the town, so of course there is no good tea here. People in the past were thirsty and could buy a big bowl of money for a penny.

This teahouse is actually just a few sheds built, one of which is the private room here.

At this moment, there were a few people sitting in this elegant room, chatting and looking out from time to time.

The leader looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a straw hat. Only when looking out can people look carefully at his appearance.

"Is it today?"

The person sitting opposite him asked softly.

The person who asked the question looked like he was in his early thirties, wearing ordinary people's clothes and wearing straw hats.

"It's today. This is the news that we adults have exhausted our efforts to find out, and we will not be wrong."

These people are all subordinates of Mei Xinqu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

On the surface, Mei Xinqu has no direct connection with Xu Ji's past officials in various places.

When the two were officials, they were more than thousands of miles apart when they were closest.

But since a few years ago, Mei Xinqu has been secretly contacting Xu Ji. The time they communicated with letters can even be attributed to Xu Ji's official position in Yuzhou.

Mei Xinqu was an official in Jizhou at that time. This person was also from Siye Academy and was quite talented.

He has no direct relationship with Xu Ji, but he has a close relationship with Yao Huansheng, the most trusted man under Xu Ji.

After the founding of the country, those who once had a good job in the local government were transferred to Chang'an City for work.

When Xu Ji was transferred to Yuezhou as the governor of the Jiedushi, Mei Xinqu was transferred to Yuzhou as the deputy governor of the Yuezhou, and the third rank official position.

Over the past few years, the main topic he talked about with Xu Ji has been talking about is...how civil officials are in power.

When the new dynasty was first established, among the civil and military officials, the generals who made great achievements for His Majesty naturally had the highest status.

And for a long time, these generals will have a high status.

During the letter exchanges between Mei Xinqu and Xu Ji, they mentioned several times that if one or two meritorious generals were not defeated at the beginning of the Daning period, it would be difficult for the civil servant to be promoted as soon as possible.

But Mei Xinqu didn't expect that no military general he wanted to defeat now could move, but Lu Chonglou, who was also a civil servant, became their target.

This was Xu Ji's death order. Yao Huansheng secretly met him after returning from Shuzhou and brought Xu Ji's words to him in full.

Mei Xinqu didn't want to attack Lu Chonglou. After all, he admired Lu Chonglou's knowledge and character, but there was no choice at this time.

When choosing between Xu Ji and Lu Chonglou, what can he choose?

The people in the town outside the city are his masters, but these masters are not his confidants.

Xu Ji discovered many secrets of Shanhe Seal in Jizhou, and most of these secrets were not reported.

Especially some of the masters were kept by Xu Ji, but Xu Ji did not dare to take them by his side, for fear of being exposed, so he dispersed all of them.

Several of the masters with absolutely outstanding strength were arranged by Xu Ji to Mei Xinqu.

Xu Ji asked Yao Huansheng to come back to find someone. Yao Huansheng thought about it and wanted to find a safe and detailed background. Mei Xinqu could only be Mei Xinqu.

The masters in the town were waiting for the carriage from Tingwei Mansion to pass by, and at this moment, Yao Huansheng was at Mei Xinqu's home.

"I know what the Prime Minister thinks, but I don't agree with his approach."

Mei Xinqu looked at Yao Huansheng: "After getting rid of Lu Chonglou, the weight of us civil servants has become lighter. How can we fight against those generals?"

Yao Huansheng put down the teacup in his hand, walked to Mei Xinqu and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Mei, your thoughts are a bit dangerous."

Mei Xinqu asked, "Why do you say this?"

Yao Huansheng said: "What does Lu Chonglou mean that when Lu Chonglou dies, the weight of civil servants will become lighter? The weight of civil servants is not on others, including you and me, and Lu Chonglou. The weight of civil servants is on the prime minister alone. Do you understand?"

"If the Prime Minister's status is unstable because of Lu Chonglou, then how much do you think the civil servants have left? And are the remaining weights of yours? "

Mei Xinqu was stunned. This sentence touched his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"Internal fighting among officials in the court has always been a taboo. When we are the ministers, we should not be like this..."

As soon as Mei Xinqu finished speaking, Yao Huansheng smiled, his long face full of sneer.

Yao Huansheng said: "Mr. Mei, you and I are classmates. I shouldn't say much about it, but if the prime minister knows you like this, I'm afraid the prime minister will be disappointed."

He looked at Mei Xinqu's eyes and said in a chilling tone: "In order to improve the status of civil servants, how much risk and pressure should the prime minister take to eradicate the wings of those military generals in the local area, but are you talking sarcastic about it here?"

Mei Xinqu was shocked, but he had a big hat on his words.

"I'm not talking sarcastic."

Mei Xinqu said: "I just do the Prime Minister's order. I just think... it's not appropriate. I'm also worried. Your Majesty is a hero who has never been seen in a thousand years. If we do this, your Majesty will see through it..."

Yao Huansheng snorted: "Don't look back and forth. After taking the first step, there is no need to retreat. Since you have taken the step, then go all the way to the end."

He walked to the other side of the seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Mr. Mei, you should know that the Prime Minister did this. In fact, it is fundamentally for His Majesty. Is the Prime Minister not afraid of those Dukes? But the Prime Minister is still doing things in a drastic manner in the local area. You haven't figured out what the meaning of this yet?"

Mei Xinqu said: "Brother Huansheng, you and I are classmates and friends, why bother to keep me?"

Yao Huansheng walked back, lowered his voice in Mei Xinqu's ear and said, "You haven't thought that this is what Your Majesty wants?"

After hearing this, Mei Xinqu's face changed immediately.

After a moment, Mei Xinqu suddenly realized: "So that's it! So that's it!"

He looked at Yao Huansheng and said excitedly: "Your Majesty also knows that these meritorious ministers hold heavy troops and look safe, but in fact they are hidden dangers. That's why Your Majesty asked the Prime Minister to leave Chang'an and start to tentatively do things from below. The little people below will be dealt with, and then they will deal with those big people."

Yao Huansheng smiled and said, "If there is no handle, even Your Majesty is embarrassed to take away the military power of the generals, so you only need to know that all the people you want to get rid of are not only the stumbling blocks of the Prime Minister, but also the stumbling blocks of the Prime Minister. Will Your Majesty clearly explain this kind of thing?"

Mei Xinqu suddenly became at ease and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I really understand this time."

Yao Huansheng said: "So we must unite. Lu Chonglou is an alien among us. Without him, the Chinese officials in the court will unite, take the prime minister as the leader, do their best for His Majesty, and get rid of Daning's hidden dangers one by one..."

He looked at Mei Xinqu and said, "That is why the prime minister trusts you so much, because you think you are your own person. Except for the Ministry of War, we can gather all the officials of other departments. You should also take care of these things."

"I understand."

Mei Xinqu's face became clearer and her eyes became much more relaxed.

He said to Yao Huansheng: "Those people are masters, and it is not difficult to get rid of Guan Mo. After they kill Guan Mo, I will arrange for them to find a way to get rid of Lu Chonglou."

Yao Huansheng nodded: "The Prime Minister has handed it over to you. You have to do it well. I have to hurry back to Shuzhou to repay you. Don't let the adults down."

Mei Xinqu didn't expect that Yao Huansheng wanted to escape, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, tell the Prime Minister after you go back that I will do this."

Yao Huansheng chatted casually for a few more words and then said goodbye and left, leaving the back door.

After leaving Mei Xinqu’s mansion, Yao Huansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Ji asked him to come back and find a way to kill Lu Chonglou. How dangerous is this? If you are not careful, it means that he will never be able to recover.

He would not take risks by himself, so he left this matter to Mei Xinqu to handle. He would not rush to leave Chang'an, he just wanted to watch in secret.

When the matter was done, he went back to report to Xu Ji. If the matter was not done well, he would find a way to run away.

After getting on the carriage, Yao Huansheng ordered: "Go out of the city and see how the situation is?"

The coachman responded and urged the horse to move forward.

At this moment, Cheng Wujie had arrived outside the city. He was anxious and just wanted to discuss it with Tang Pidian as soon as possible.

He was really afraid that the people under him were arrogant and would be the ones who would ruin them at that time.

They were all people who came out of the sea of ​​swords and blood, and did not fall in front of the enemy. If they fell in front of the national laws of Daning, how sad would this be?

I was rushing forward and suddenly I heard the coachman shouting outside.

"Duke, something happened before!"

Cheng Wujie opened the car window, stuck his head out and looked out, then his face turned angry.

"In broad daylight, in the Chang'an imperial capital, how dare you commit crimes on the official road?"

He kicked open the car door, and he kicked the door away.

After jumping out of the carriage, Cheng Wujie used to looking for his sledgehammer, but found that he didn't bring it at all.
Chapter completed!
