The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 186 Vulnerability
What Xie Xi said was vague, but the answer was ready to come out.

With his father's question yesterday, Lin Zisu immediately guessed who Xie Xi was talking about, and also understood some of the mysteries in it.

Cao Shouli and his son searched Beidi's spies in the capital in private, but they missed an important person.

By chance, I saw through Hange's disguise first, and let such a person fall into Xie Xi's hands.

Now Cao Lang understands the importance of Han Pavilion, and is looking for a remedy for his omission.

Obviously, Cao Lang didn't intend to reveal the matter, so he asked himself about Xie Xi's tone through his father.

"Cao Lang found me and said a few words to me. All in all, he has a way to get my father to marry me as soon as possible."

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that the reason why the second prince's marriage was delayed was because of the opposition from the cabinet and the officials in the court.

Using the ancestral system as an excuse, the cabinet repeatedly asked the emperor not to act on a whim and ignore the rules.

The Qian family is well-known in the south of Shannan, and the Zhang family is an example of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. More than half of the students in the south of the Yangtze River are from the Nanshan Academy of the Zhang family.They objected, and the emperor had to worry about public opinion.It's not easy to say whether he will risk the dissatisfaction of the world.

Lin Zisu didn't have much expectations for the marriage, but after hearing what Xie Xi said, she became interested and asked, "I heard that the Supervisor of Rituals and the cabinet are in the same boat, what can Cao Lang do to persuade the cabinet?" Those people give up the ancestral system?"

"What? Susu is also looking forward to the marriage? We two have a good understanding this time."

Xie Xi's solemnity disappeared when he came, and a cynical smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "If that's the case, then we can make a deal with Cao Lang."

"trade?"

Lin Zisu immediately understood what Xie Xi meant, and she felt that Xie Xi's idea was unreliable.Cao Lang has a fierce reputation, and making a deal with him is seeking skin from a tiger, and there is no gain in it.

Xie Xi smiled and said, "There's nothing to hesitate about. For me, the things related to you are the big things."

This sentence was spoken casually, but Lin Zisu was very pleased to hear it in her heart.However, the emotion in her heart didn't last for a while, only to hear Xie Xi say again: "I heard that Xu Wentao is about to win and return the court. I have to get ahead of him and settle our matter."

Lin Zisu didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Xu Wentao, but then she reacted, stretched out her hand and patted Xie Xi's arm, and said, "Xu Wentao and I have made it very clear that there is absolutely no possibility for the two of us. Why are you thinking about these places!"

Xie Xi chuckled twice, and said: "Be the first to act, Susu, I have identified you for the rest of my life, so don't try to slip away from me."

Lin Zisu gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "That's up to you. If you're still so unreliable, maybe someday I'll really slip away."

When the two were talking, the watch drum had already sounded, and ordinary people fell asleep early, but for them, things had just begun.

Under the east gate of the Forbidden City is the East Factory.Although it was late, the yard was still brightly lit.

Different from the chills in the past, a few red lanterns hung under the eaves of the main hall of the East Factory today, which seemed a bit festive.

Red is a festive color, and it is also the color of blood. The appearance of red lanterns in Dongchang is not a good omen.

According to Dongchang's rules, once the red lantern is hung, it is to tell the people below that there will be blood in Dongchang's prison.

"Godfather, my son didn't do things well this time, and he missed someone, so there are still some troubles now."

Cao Lang stood respectfully beside Cao Shouli, with a smile on his face, and said, "But Godfather, please rest assured, that person is in the hands of His Highness King Dun, and my son expects His Highness to hand him over to us."

Cao Shouli sat in the middle, took the tea beside him casually, cast a sidelong glance at Cao Lang, and asked, "Trouble? Ah Lang, did you do it on purpose? Tell godfather, what's going on?"

"Godfather is as enlightening as a candle, and my son admires it. Although the son didn't do this on purpose, it's still a remedy after a dead sheep, and it didn't miss our arrangement."

Cao Lang lowered his head and smiled and said, "My son often hears from his godfather that we don't seek to be profitable, and we don't seek to be satisfied. We have done so many things. If we don't leave a loophole, His Majesty will ask about it in the future. I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Your Majesty is suspicious."

Cao Shouli raised eyebrows and asked, "Oh?"

"A few days ago, we sued King Wei through King Dun. We got what we wanted, and through King Wei's case, we placed a lot of our people. Although His Majesty didn't say anything, I'm afraid it's clear in my heart. Chu, it's just that His Majesty wanted to use his son to suppress those people in the cabinet, so he let his son mess around."

"Sooner or later, His Majesty will hear about the fact that your son caught Beidi's spies. If His Majesty asks about it face to face, what should Godfather answer correctly?"

Cao Shouli smiled and said, "Ah Lang, you asked this question well. You took the man down, so godfather wants to hear how you will answer it correctly."

"The only thing to do is to be prepared and be prepared. My son thinks that instead of waiting for your majesty to ask, it is better to leave a loophole and let others make up. Even if your majesty finds out about it in the future, you can't ask us about it." .”

Cao Shouli took a sip of tea and said, "Is this Xie Xi really usable? You left him this loophole this time, and he almost missed it. It is thanks to the little girl next to him that it is considered a I have lived up to your painstaking efforts."

Hearing Cao Shouli tell the details of that day, Cao Lang's eyes flashed a gloomy look, and then he smiled again: "These things must be done by him. Godfather also saw it. The last time about King Wei's matter, only he came forward, so His Majesty would not." would be suspicious."

Cao Shouli was noncommittal to Cao Lang's words, and allowed Cao Lang to continue talking.

"In the eyes of His Majesty, our Dongchang is a knife in his hand. With King Dun as the introduction, he can let us do it with confidence. Now that the Tantai family has been uprooted, the Prince of Wei's mansion will also become a thing of the past. The next step, The ones His Majesty wants to move are the Qian family and the Lu family."

Cao Shouli didn't know what he was thinking of, and sighed: "Yes, the Qian family and the Lu family are gone, so it's our father and son's turn."

"This is what my son wants to say. Now that we are fledgling, we still have to rely on His Majesty's trust to let us deal with the Qian family and the Lu family safely."

Cao Shouli sighed infinitely in his heart. No one dared to eavesdrop on his words, so he said it in front of Cao Lang: "Those literati in front often said that once the emperor and the courtiers always said that the emperor changed, their The status will not be guaranteed. We are the supervisor of ceremonies, why not? How many of the supervisors of ceremonies have passed away well? God's grace to me."
