into the night.

Moon stars are rare.

The backyard of the government office was peaceful.

The little eunuch was wearing a long gown, sitting in a corner, staring at and yawning.

As time goes by.

His consciousness became more and more depressed, and his eyes were blurred. In a trance, he seemed to see a black shadow flashing past him.

"what!"

The little eunuch shuddered violently, and instantly lost all sleepiness. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked towards the door, but found nothing unusual.

"Could it be a mistake?"

This idea popped up in his mind, but he didn't take it to heart and continued to stare.

house.

Xie Qianduan sat on the grand master's chair, his old face showed a solemn expression.

The imperial decree during the day made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

His Majesty's reuse of Wei Dongzheng must be a disaster for him and the officials attached to him!
He could predict that when he returned to Beijing this time, he would face a huge cleansing.

Most of the officials who advocated negotiating with Qianguo will be abandoned by His Majesty and Wei Dongzheng, even as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he will not be spared.

thus.

this moment.

What Bai Qi said on the day of the negotiation came to his mind again.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is enthroned.

The prime minister of Qian State is the regent.

The cabinet is still headed by him, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Punishment can be approved by the cabinet without submitting to the regent.
In addition, the salaries of hundreds of officials will also be increased.

There is no doubt that for them, such conditions are completely acceptable.

His Majesty has been on the throne for only three years, yet he has made the court look like this, rebels are everywhere, and the people complain.
Let Your Majesty sit in front of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, no matter in terms of reason or etiquette, future generations will not be able to find any faults.

Even if the people want to scold him, they can't scold him on his head. After all, Wei Dongzheng, who strongly advocates the implementation of the New Deal, is standing in front of him.

The only question is whether Fang Xiu, the Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom, will be able to fulfill his promise.

"After Qianren captured Jiannan Road, he ordered that the gentry who gave up their fields could be protected by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

At that time, many gentry didn't believe it, and insisted on going their own way, taking out money to honor the nobles who served in the army, and wanted to preserve their fields, but they were self-defeating and their homes were ransacked instead.

And those gentry who honestly handed over their fields were indeed protected by the eldest princess. Except for the fields, the rest of the gold and silver treasures, mansions and courtyards were not affected in the slightest.
From this point of view, dry people are still honest and keep their promises. "

"Besides, the imperial court of Qian Kingdom does not have so many Jinshi who can be sent to our Great Zhou court as officials.

Six ministries and nine ministers, each province and government, so many yamen, so many vacancies, the prime minister of Qianguo can only use some former ministers.

Stabilizing the old man is equivalent to stabilizing the old officials of the former court, and stabilizing the old ministers of the former court will stabilize the court.

Prime Minister Qian is a resourceful person, this should still be conceivable."

Thinking of this.

Xie Qian finally made a decision, agreed to Bai Qi's request, and cooperated with Gan Ren to let His Majesty abdicate the emperor to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!

just
How to do it, he can't think of a way alone.

Dry people should also provide some help.

Xie Qian thought about it, and stood up slowly while holding the armrest of the grand teacher's chair, and walked out, intending to call his personal guards and order something.

He had just taken two steps, but a casual glance made him startled.

"Who are you?"

Even after decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Xie Qian, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, could not help but feel horrified when he saw a figure suddenly appearing in his room.

"I'm Tang Rou."

A cold voice came.

Xie Qian's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he quickly searched for Tang Rou's name in his mind, but found nothing.

He can be sure that he does not know this person.

"Your Excellency's late-night visit, what's your business?"

With vigilance, Xie Qian lowered his voice and asked.

The cold voice came again.

"Just to ask you one thing"

Speaking of which, stop abruptly.

Xie Qian waited for a long time, but didn't hear the second half of the sentence. His old face was slightly red, and he couldn't help asking:

"What's the matter?"

The voice fell, and after waiting for a few breaths, I heard the man's response.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"."

Xie Qian frowned, puzzled.

After a while, he seemed to realize something, and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency is talking about peace talks with Gan Guo?"

"Other than that, what else can there be?"

Tang Rou's cold voice sounded again.

Xie Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked, "May I ask your Excellency?"

"Didn't I tell you just now. I'm Tang Rou!"

There was dissatisfaction in Tang Rou's eyes, and Liu Mei frowned slightly.

"."

When Xie Qian heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a few breaths of silence, he said: "What the old man means is, who entrusted you to visit late at night?"

Hearing this question, Fang Xiu's figure could not help appearing in Tang Rou's mind, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly, "Fang Xiu."

Who is Fang Xiu?

Xie Qian was in a daze for a while, then suddenly realized that the name of the Prime Minister of Qian Kingdom was Fang Xiu!
Originally thought that this strange woman was Bai Qi's subordinate.

Unexpectedly, it was actually sent by Fang Xiu!

He restrained the astonishment in his heart, and asked, "But Prime Minister Qian, Fang Xiu?"

Xie Qian's deep eyes looked at the woman in black robe holding a long sword in front of her, hoping to get an affirmative answer.

Waited for a long time, just waiting for one sentence.

"Noisy."

"."

Xie Qian took a deep breath to calm down.

After a while, he lowered his voice and said:

"Your Excellency, please inform Mr. Fang that the world's major events are vast and mighty. If you go with them, you will prosper, and if you go against them, you will perish. Today, the Holy One is going against the trend, reusing traitors and sycophants, and implementing reforms, which has caused complaints from the people of insight in the world. In three years, the world was overthrown, but thanks to the spirit of the ancestors, they survived."

"The eldest princess has both ability and political integrity, and she was ordered to fight against the treacherous and quell the turmoil. The people all over the world praise the achievements of the eldest princess. I look up at astronomy and look down on the hearts of the people. It should be the eldest princess who inherits the rule."

These two passages first belittled the current Emperor Zhou as useless, and then praised Li Yaoyue, as if the eldest princess Li Yaoyue was born to be an emperor.

When Tang Rou heard this, there was a hint of disgust in her eyes, and she thought:

These bastards, no matter what they do, are based on their own interests. They don't care about the life and death of the people on weekdays, and they keep searching for the people's fat and anointment.

At this time, he was able to say such high-sounding words openly.

As if agreeing to Fang Xiu's request, forcing Emperor Zhou to abdicate, and supporting the puppet Li Yaoyue to ascend the throne, it is for the sake of the common people in the world, which is really disgusting!

"The ancient sages said that the way of a great husband is that the world is a public, and that's why the virtuous and capable are selected."

Xie Qian was still talking.

Tang Rou couldn't listen anymore, she spoke coldly and interrupted him.

"enough!"

Xie Qian had doubts in his eyes, and looked at Tang Rou, not knowing what she was going to do.

at this time.

However, Tang Rou took out a letter, handed it to Xie Qian, and said coldly: "Since we have decided to negotiate a peace, we will follow the instructions above. If something goes wrong, let alone the position of the chief minister of the cabinet, it is yours." You may not be able to keep a head!"

Hearing this, Xie Qian frowned, feeling very dissatisfied.

His majestic chief minister of the Great Zhou cabinet, not to mention being under one person, is not much different from being above ten thousand people.

When will it be the turn of a little quack to tell him what to do.

But thinking of the imperial decree read by the eunuch, he still suppressed his anger, took the letter, and read it by the faint candlelight.

After all, he is old, his eyes are presbyopic, and he cannot read clearly.

A letter, enough time to read two sticks of incense.

After reading.

His expression became more complicated, holding the letter in his hand, unable to speak for a long time.

It turned out that without knowing it, the imperial court had been eroded by Fang Xiu to such an extent.

His majestic chief minister of the cabinet, the actual head of all officials, did not realize this at all, he is really ashamed.

At this thought, Xie Qian couldn't help but sighed in his heart and fell into silence.

I do not know how long it has been.

He looked up at Tang Rou, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Master Fang mentioned in the letter that the old man only needs to stabilize the defenders of Jinnan City, and he will send people into the palace to persuade His Majesty, but I don't know what Master Fang means by sending people into the palace?"

The so-called entering the palace to persuade His Majesty is actually entering the palace to subdue the emperor in the letter.

It's just that he thought about the way of the emperor and his ministers, so he couldn't say it, so he changed it a little.

Tang Rou looked at him with cold eyes, and said coldly, "You just need to do what you should do, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"

When Xie Qian heard this, dissatisfaction appeared on his old face, he frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"Treason is a serious crime that implicates the entire family. If you don't have enough confidence, you can make this old man and his colleagues lose thousands of heads with just one sentence. Taking such a risk is too much for someone to do."

The voice fell.

Tang Rou didn't respond.

Seeing this, Xie Qian became more and more dissatisfied, and said coldly: "There are not only defenders in Jinnan City, but also servants from the Yulin Army and Dongchang.

Even if the city defense army is dispatched, it may not be able to persuade His Majesty in a short time, let alone the few people sent by Lord Fang. Lord Fang wants to be the regent of my Great Zhou. In addition to promising benefits, he should also wait for me to wait for a major event to come true. Confidence. "

Tang Rou frowned when she heard this, she wanted to leave a cold "clap", then cut off his head, and left with a flick of her sleeve.

However, thinking that this matter was explained by Fang Xiu himself, he restrained the impulse in his heart and said coldly:
"I will go to Jinnan with you, and then you will know how to subdue the emperor!"

The voice fell.

Xie Qian looked Tang Rou up and down, and saw that she was covered in black robes, standing where she was, with a mysterious aura of her own.

I thought to myself, could it be that the prime minister of Qianguo has already sent secret agents to infiltrate Jinnan City, and the person in front of him is the leader of those secret agents?

Thinking of this.

Xie Qian didn't ask any more questions, and said: "Since this is the case, the old man still needs to rest, Your Excellency, please."

Tang Rou gave him a cold look, turned and left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even Xie Qian, who has lived in the temple for a long time, couldn't help shrinking his pupils slightly when he saw this scene, and exclaimed: "Good skill! It really comes and goes without a trace!"

In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

Jinnan Mansion, Imperial Palace.

Zhou Huangduan sat on the dragon chair, looked at Xie Qian in front of him, and said earnestly:
"At this age, Xie Ge is still running around for the court. I really can't bear it. These few days, I will allow Xie Ge to stay in the mansion to recuperate. Wei Dongzheng will take care of the cabinet affairs first. After a few days Today, Mr. Xie Ge recovers a bit, and then goes to the cabinet to deal with the government affairs."

When Xie Qian heard this, his heart sank.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the eunuch, who was on the side, say:
"Your Majesty is so sympathetic to Ge Lao! It's so benevolent!"

The old man hasn't agreed yet, let alone thank you, what are you doing jumping out!
Xie Qian glanced at the palm print eunuch, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

The palm print eunuch has said that His Majesty is sympathizing with him and is as benevolent as heaven.

At this time, I still have to refuse, which is a bit ignorant.

Xie Qian was silent for a few breaths, and bowed his hands expressionlessly:
"The old minister thanked His Majesty Long En."

His expression and tone of voice were extremely stiff.

Zhou Huang saw this, but still had a gentle look, and said: "I already know about Lingnan Dao. If Mr. Xie Ge has nothing else to do, he can go back to his residence to rest."

When Xie Qian heard this, he hesitated to speak.

After struggling a lot, I still cupped my hands and said: "The old minister will leave!"

After the voice fell, he turned and left, and disappeared in the hall in a moment.

on the dragon chair.

Zhou Huang looked at his back, with a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "Xie Qian has been sitting in the position of chief assistant for more than ten years, and he will never move out of his position easily. In the past few days, he will definitely Unite with the party, put pressure on me, keep an eye on me, if there is anything unusual, report to me immediately."

The palm print eunuch on the side hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Followed by.

Zhou Huang looked at Wang Zhi again, and asked, "Will you be there when Xie Qian and Bai made peace?"

Wang Zhi didn't dare to hide anything, knelt on the ground and said: "Bai Qi will not let the slaves follow, if you want to negotiate peace, the slaves can only wait outside the city."

"Then how do you know so many details?"

Zhou Huang asked again.

Wang Zhi hurriedly said: "Before the peace negotiation, the servant specially instructed several guards to remember everything Xie Gelao and Bai Qi said, so the servant learned all these details from them."

When Zhou Huang heard this, he was silent for a few breaths, and said coldly:

"No matter what, Xie Qian has been thinking about negotiating with Qian Guo from the beginning to the end. With him around, Wei Dongzheng and I can't let go!"

"At the time of life and death, if you don't let go, how will you know who wins and who loses!"

"Fortunately, he has been sitting in the position of chief minister of the cabinet for more than ten years. I don't understand such a simple truth!"

"It's ridiculous to pin your hopes on the Yan State and negotiations until now!"

The palm print eunuch and Wang Zhi looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said: "Let's talk nonsense, these days I have kept a close eye on Xie Qian and his comrades, especially the Minister of the Ministry of War who is closely related to the city defense army, and several martial arts officers from the capital. Send people to watch at all times! In the autumn of life and death, be careful in everything!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The two eunuchs responded in unison.

at the same time.

Xie Qian's mansion.

In the main hall.

Xie Qian looked at Tang Rou who was covered in black robe, with a gentle smile on her old face, said:
"At this point, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be done. Miss Tang should tell the old man how Master Fang is going to persuade His Majesty, right?"

Before Tang Rou could speak, he said to himself:
"The old man observed that there are many beggars inside and outside the capital. Could it be that they are sent by Mr. Fang?"

When Tang Rou heard this, she gave him a strange look, and said calmly, "I told you about it three days ago."

Mr. Xie Ge was startled slightly, and said blankly, "What did you say?"

Tang Rou paused and said, "I will go to Jinnan with you!"
