Cui Mingde was not the first one to look for A Huan, I had eaten for a while, and outside the door I called Mrs. He Lou to see me. I went to see A Huan. The servant only said: "Taiping guess, what is the purpose of He Loushang Palace?"

I tilted my head to think about it, and said: "Aniang let her lead Fengchen's inner guard, it must be because of this?"

Ah Huan laughed and said, "The word 'Fengchen Neiwei' is too big, do you know what it is about this inner guard?"

I took a look at the little servant, and Ah Huan said: "This is Buddha's slave, and he is from the same town as Wu Asheng." He asked him to raise his head and meet me. Either for the money, food and materials, or for the recruitment of personnel, since I came to you, it must be money, food and materials?"

Ah Huan smiled without saying a word, and called He Lou to come in. The two talked politely, about the weather, about flowers and plants, about grease, and about clothes—they just didn’t mention business, which made me dizzy. Feeling sleepy, I tried my best to deal with it for a while, but I still couldn't help yawning. When A Huan saw her, she politely saw off the guests, and smiled when she turned to me: "It's not like you don't usually greet people, why are you so impatient?"

I felt quite aggrieved: "On weekdays, I either go to banquets, have singing and dancing to add to the fun, or discuss with the eight prime ministers. It is rare to be able to talk for a moment or two alone. Who is like you..." Looking at the copper leak, the more Feeling aggrieved: "...we talked for more than half an hour, and there was nothing useful—is it because I'm here that she doesn't talk about business?"

A Huan shook her head and smiled lightly: "This is the daily routine in the palace. She came to see me and talked with me for more than half an hour. It's a serious matter." While speaking, I suddenly heard that Cui Mingde had also come. Hui was busy cheering up again, while urging A Huan to invite her in—but A Huan took her time, drinking tea and stroking her hair, and it took a while before she ordered someone to report.

I thought that Cui Mingde would always say something useful, but when she came, she said the same thing as He Lou's: the weather is very good, the flowers and plants are in full bloom, what kind of good facial fat has been newly developed recently, and how many people are there in Fengtian Bureau? nice dress...

She was smiling, and her smile was very natural, as if she was born with such a smiling face, but I don't know if it's because I know her too well, I always feel that her smile is very perfunctory, and A Huan's smile is obviously stronger than that of her. Just now she wanted to fake it—just now she obviously had a very heated discussion with He Loushi, and she often brought up various topics by herself, but now she just pretended to follow Cui Mingde's words, and the smile on her face was also very unnatural. Suddenly there was nothing to say.

I couldn't stand the attitude of these two people, took advantage of the gap between the two of them talking, coughed lightly, and said to Cui Mingde: "Yesterday I had a chat with Princess Anding."

I clearly saw that Cui Mingde seemed to be relieved, but he turned around solemnly, tilted his head, and looked at me: "What did you talk about?"

A Huan picked up the teacup and looked at me with a smile, while I explained what happened yesterday in detail, and took out a piece of paper to Cui Mingde: "What do you think?"

Before Cui Mingde could make a move, A Huan reached out and brushed the piece of paper away. When he looked up, he grinned, handed the paper to Cui Mingde, and looked at me: "You have to write everything on the paper. It's best to correct your faults, what if someone sees it?"

I said: "Everyone knows that they were recommended to His Majesty through me. What is there to be afraid of? If you don't write down these people, what if there is an omission?"

A Huan pursed her lips, lowered her head to drink tea, smiled at me when she was about to reach the cup, and raised her eyes to look at me before drinking the tea. She smiled so beautifully, and there were no outsiders around, so I stretched out my hand without knowing it. Squeezing her hand lightly, she put the teacup on the table and reached out to hold my other hand. Cui Mingde coughed and handed the paper back to me. What do you want to ask?"

A Huan curled her lips, picked up her teacup again, just looked at me, and I answered Cui Mingde's words wholeheartedly: "It is a good thing that many people in the court sympathize with Mrs. Li, but it will definitely arouse A Niang's suspicion, especially among the prime ministers, Li Zhaode is the only one who decides , there are many parties attached to him, I think that in one or two years, there may be changes in the court, if there are changes, who do you think can be in that position?"

What I showed her was the list of internal officials of the fifth rank and above who were obviously "under the sect of Princess Changle". Seventy to eighty percent of these people were recommended by her and Dugu Shao, and a small part were recommended by these people ——Every person’s name is marked with age, background and expertise, but it has not filled a medium-sized paper, which shows that I am alone and alone——Compared to the scale when my mother suppressed Zhuwu, and then refer to She is wary of Mrs. Li, this change will only be big, not small, and the bigger the change, the better time for me to grab the official position for my own people, so I have to make some preparations in advance, and let me know who's qualifications, what position, who I have thought about all my specialties and other things, and once my mother asks me, I can answer them calmly.

Cui Mingde sat down slowly, probably thinking. At this moment, A Huan took the airs of Luling Princess again, put his hands on his knees very gracefully, leaned forward slightly, and smiled without showing his teeth: "Cui Xiu is from He is a rich man, has a clear and decisive approach to affairs, and is excellent in poetry and prose. He can be regarded as a servant. Luo Fengchun is a barbarian, and his literary talent is not obvious. It’s not bad to get General Yiwei. Zheng Yuanyi..." A Huan stopped talking with a half-smile, and looked at me, I knew she didn’t like the Zheng family, so while Cui Mingde was thinking, he squeezed her hand in a hurry, Cui Mingde came back to his senses at this moment, and I was so scared that I hurriedly withdrew my hand: "The princess's thoughts are indeed right, there is only one thing - what your majesty can't tolerate is one party dominating, not the Wu family or the Li family. Let the other party gain momentum, His Majesty will not do such a thing."

I said: "It's natural, that's why I expected a big change—both sides will suffer, so we have a chance."

Cui Mingde didn't answer, but asked me instead: "Princess, who do you think Your Majesty will attack?"

I hesitated and said: "The one who is in the limelight now is Li Zhaode. He has been in power for many years. He is arbitrary and has offended many people. He is also the thorn in Wu Chengsi's side. I guess it is him... and his henchmen." Seeing Cui Mingde She nodded, wanted to laugh but held back, and put on a graceful look like A Huan, but she rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid Li Zhaode is not the only one that Cui Shanggong means."

I was startled, and turned to look at A Huan. She glanced at me with a smile, and said to Cui Mingde, "All the martial arts are from the blood of His Majesty's clan. Wu Chengsi has not been established as the crown prince for a day, and the wealth, honor and disgrace of the Wu family are still in place for the time being." If it is tied to His Majesty and has already been suppressed, His Majesty will not move them, but only their party. But their party members are mostly followers of power, and if they do not move the key points, it will be useless to move them."

I suddenly understood: "There are also cruel officials!"

Cui Mingde turned his head to look at me, nodded with a smile, "Wu's children will be discredited if they are members of the clan, and if they are courtiers, they will have no merit. Those who are willing to be attached to them are either incompetent and fortunate, or cruel officials. "

A Huan also said with a smile: "The rise of cruel officials has been going on for more than ten years now. They have destroyed thousands of families and killed more than one hundred thousand people. The courtiers of the Manchu court deeply regret it. Although Li Zhaode is arrogant, after all, he came from a wealthy family and has a great reputation. Once he is demoted, there must be people who sympathize with him. If these people can't help him, they will vent their anger on others. If you give him a little help..." She suddenly stopped talking, and instead, Cui Mingde said: "Cruel official Among them, the most important one is Lai Junchen, who regards entanglement as his top priority and regards killing as a meritorious service. He has not performed anything for many years, and he must be ready to make a move. If there is a slight disturbance, he will definitely go to war—— What we have to do is to ensure that His Majesty moves It's him, not someone else who doesn't matter."

I completely understood what they meant, but felt heavy in my heart: "You want to instigate Lai Junchen to falsely accuse Li Zhaode?"

Cui Mingde kept his mouth shut, A Huan looked at me and said, "Li Zhaode's defeat will happen sooner or later, based on what he did, this defeat really didn't wrong him, we just lost it a bit quickly ——If you don’t rely on such means, do you think everything on your other paper can be achieved?”

I closed my eyes: "These are just our conjectures, and they haven't become a fact yet. As for what he did...it should be judged by the law, not by the few of us talking casually."

Ah Huan sneered: "That's right, Ah Qi's actions should have been judged by the law, not by the words of one person or family."

I clenched my fists violently, ignoring the dull pain in my chest, and just fixed my eyes on A Huan. A Huan didn't look at me, but just raised her head high, smiling all over her face, and her gaze fell into the distance, and she didn't know Whether it's the corridor or the door, Cui Mingde lowered his head, and didn't say anything to persuade me. I took a deep breath, loosened my fist after a long time, and said softly, "Who will do it?"

A Huan smiled, and looked straight at Cui Mingde: "Cui Xiu comes from a wealthy family, is decisive in dealing with affairs, and is excellent in poetry and prose. She can be a servant."

Cui Mingde never made a sound from the beginning to the end.
