Chapter 160 Counterattack(1/2)
Looking at Zhao Wenyu's surprised look, a little obscure disdain appeared on He Yuansheng's face, but he did not continue to speak.
After a while, Zhao Wenyu recovered and said with a little nervousness: "Admiral He, what do you mean!"
With He Yuansheng's status, he suddenly made an appointment with him and said this, not just to play with him.
So Zhao Wenyu felt a little excited, because the cabinet chief is currently vacant, with the support of He Yuansheng, who holds military power, he really could achieve his goal.
“Literally?”
Zhao Wenyu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "If Admiral He is willing to help Zhao, after becoming the chief minister, Zhao will obey the order!"
Civil officials are good at engaging in conspiracies, so Zhao Wenyu understands what He Yuansheng wants and immediately shows his greatest sincerity.
But He Yuansheng didn't believe this at all. After all, he was just a vernacular saying and could regret it at any time.
"Sir Shangshu is so serious!"
Then he changed the subject and said, "If you want to become the chief minister, one thing you need to do is to report to the prince, ask him to succeed to the throne and respect the emperor as the emperor!"
"this!"
Zhao Wenyu's expression changed a little, because this move completely sold Emperor Yongchang.
Although the prince controls Shenjing, there will be no danger in this matter, but infamy is indispensable.
But Zhao Wenyu was still moved because for him, as long as he could become the chief minister and gain power, his own parents could sell them, let alone just be infamous.
"Is this what the prince means?"
"What do you think?"
In fact, all of this was He Yuansheng's own idea, but it was not considered a fool of Zhao Wenyu.
Because after the decree and establishment, Emperor Yongchang was definitely a heart-wrenching problem for the prince, so if Zhao Wenyu submits the memorial at this time, he is likely to become the vacant chief minister.
After all, there are not many people who can hold this position, and the situation of Shenjing is not allowed to be vacant at the prime minister. At this time, Zhao Wenyu submitted a memorial such as this, which would definitely be valued by the prince.
At that time, He Yuansheng was helping to speak, and the position of the chief assistant was almost in hand.
"When the grand court meeting the next day, I will be the editor in the palace!"
Zhao Wenyu made a decision immediately, and his expression was also full of determination.
He Yuansheng nodded, and then the two began to discuss the details, but Zhao Wenyu's expression was always very serious.
In the afternoon, He Yuansheng met Xiao Dezi and said with a little emotion: "Eunuch De is so proud of his youth!"
"Where are there!"
Xiao Dezi, who had just taken charge of the power of the palace, was indeed proud. Even when he was facing He Yuansheng, his tone was a bit arrogant.
Looking at Xiao Dezi's proud look, He Yuansheng suppressed his anger and said calmly: "You are proud, but the evil dog you put in the Jinyiwei has been asking for trouble for He!"
This statement made Xiao Dezi a little embarrassed. He smiled and then said, "Chen Tongzhi is just doing things on the order of the prince. Admiral He should not be misunderstood!"
"After the order of the prince, he framed He and Zhang to betray the law!"
He Yuansheng's tone was a little cold, and this sentence also made Xiao Dezi look disgusted: "This is the case!"
"Can He lie?"
He paused and said with a sarcastic sarcastic word: "Your dog caught my idiot second uncle, but he has asked a lot of questions!"
"Damn it!"
Xiao Dezi cursed hatefully, he was really unaware of it, so he felt a little annoyed. At the same time, he also felt that Chen Jiong, the dog, was not so obedient.
"Don't blame Admiral He, this is not what we mean!"
"It doesn't matter who means it, but Chen Jiong's actions made He look dull and he can't tolerate him!"
These words made Xiao Dezi change his face again and said coldly: "Admiral He, this is a bit too much!"
There are not many people who can use it around Xiao Dezi. Finally, Chen Jiong was found. If He Yuansheng was defeated, his power would be greatly damaged.
"Excessively, he framed He, and He can still tolerate him!"
"Chen Tongzhi is a third-rank official. The prince personally ordered the position of acting commander. Admiral He wanted to touch him, but it depends on whether the prince agreed or not!"
Since more than a dozen ministers were dismissed from office, the position of the crown prince has been completely stable. Xiao Dezi, the number one in the inner palace, naturally has the confidence to dare to take it against He Yuansheng.
"What happened to Chen Jiong? You and I know what happened to you. He will never tolerate his behavior now!"
He Yuansheng expressed his attitude and then changed the subject and said, "I know that your purpose is to master the Jinyiwei. He can give up his position as commander, but this disaster must not be kept!"
"This is true?"
Xiao Dezi was a little excited. He Yuansheng served as the commander of the Jinyiwei. He was very uneasy. If Chen Jiong could be exchanged for this position, he would naturally not hesitate.
"really!"
He Yuansheng gave a positive answer, paused, and said, "But one Chen Jiong is not enough. Eunuch De should help me with his help at a critical moment and get rid of Hou Ying!"
Xiao Dezi was confused and said meaningfully: "Admiral He is really a flaw that will be reported!"
Then he changed his mind and said, "We can help beat the edge drum. Whether we can succeed depends on Admiral He's ability!"
He Yuansheng did not speak, but nodded, expressing his agreement with this condition.
Having a tacit understanding with Xiao Dezi, He Yuansheng went to see the prince that night and reported seriously: "Your Highness, Chen Jiong has a bad intention."
"What!"
The prince was shocked and his face changed a little.
"When yesterday's incident, the Jinyiwei received the news in advance, but was suppressed by Chen Jiong!" He Yuansheng explained lightly, his expression very solemnly.
"How could He Qing know about this?"
"After yesterday's incident, I felt that more than a dozen court officials conspired, but the Jinyiwei did not receive the news. It was so strange that I sent someone to investigate and then I learned the details!"
Hearing He Yuansheng's explanation, the prince's face changed and he believed this.
Because this situation had never happened when He Yuansheng was in charge of the Jinyiwei. Now that Chen Jiong took over, there was such a big mistake, how could he not believe it?
But Xiao Dezi, who was beside the prince, looked at He Yuansheng cautiously, and felt a little more afraid.
Although I don’t know whether this matter is true or not, Xiao Dezi knew that Chen Jiong was over, and even if he helped him speak, he might not be able to save it.
"Damn the thief!"
Xiao Dezi did not help Chen Jiong speak. The inexperienced prince ordered on the spot: "He Qing, immediately put Chen Jiong in prison and interrogate him strictly!"
"promise!"
He Yuansheng nodded immediately and left the East Palace.
Half an hour later, He Yuansheng led a large group of troops to arrest Chen Jiong and confiscate his home.
"He Yuansheng, you will not be able to rebel!"
After being arrested, Chen Jiong's tone was still very arrogant, and he had no idea that his death was approaching.
After all, his foundation is shallow, and no one in the court will speak for him. Xiao Dezi, the only backer, gave up on him, so naturally there was no way out.
"Rebel, I think you are going to rebel!"
Then he whispered: "Catching you is the order given by the prince, Xiao Dezi has given you!"
"What!"
Chen Jiong suddenly became frightened. He knew what He Yuansheng's words meant.
"Take it away, be interrogated severely!"
He Yuansheng waved his hand and signaled to take the person away, then whispered a few words to Lao Zhou before returning to the Beizhen Fushi.
An hour later, He Yuansheng looked at He Zheng's confession with a little coldness in his eyes.
At this time, Lao Zhou walked in and said respectfully: "Sir, this is what you want!"
After saying that, he handed He Yuansheng a letter.
He Yuansheng took it and saw it, and couldn't help laughing and said sarcastically: "Hou Ying, Hou Ying, you probably didn't expect that the behavior of betting on both ends would become your death talisman!"
This letter was written by Lu Hezhang, the chief minister who has been dismissed from office. It contains contents he discussed with Hou Ying, which naturally adds fuel to the fire and places the main responsibility on Hou Ying.
"Sir, will the prince believe it?"
"This is a fact. With Chen Jiong's confession, the prince will naturally believe it!" He Yuansheng responded confidently.
Soon the confession He Yuansheng asked for was placed in front of him, but Qian Yong, who came to report, looked a little worried on his face.
"What's wrong?"
While looking at the confession, he asked.
"Sir, Chen Jiong is about to die!" Qian Yong responded carefully.
He Yuansheng frowned and immediately spoke, "Don't let him die, you have to work hard for another day!"
Although Xiao Dezi gave up Chen Jiong, no one cared about his life or death, He Yuansheng still had to use this person as an excuse to involve Hou Ying, so naturally he could not let him die.
"promise!"
