~~~~~~

Yang Miaocai had obviously thought about it for a long time. He poured some wine from the glass on the table, dipped his fingers in the wine, and carefully wrote a few words.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Brother Miaocai is indeed a genius. Wonderful, wonderful! With the support of Brother Miaocai's plan, Yuanqing has a lot of confidence."

Yang Miaocai didn't expect that Li Yuanqing would give him such a high evaluation, and he was a little excited for a moment.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Although he stepped onto Li Yuanqing's 'thief ship' unintentionally, Li Yuanqing was comparable to a 'national scholar' in terms of his heart and skill, as well as the support he gave Yang Miaocai.

How could Yang Miaocai, who had lacked care since childhood, not be moved by this?

Especially~~, the deeper the contact with Li Yuanqing, the more Yang Miaocai became attracted to Li Yuanqing's 'magic'.

As the old saying goes, 'If we have different paths, we will not seek each other's will.'

At this time, Yang Miaocai was not only on the same path as Li Yuanqing, but Li Yuanqing also took care of him and supported him in every possible way. How could he, Yang Miaocai, not help Li Yuanqing?

However, both Li Yuanqing and Yang Miaocai are reserved people. This sense of trust does not have to be expressed in words. Many times, a look is enough.

After a moment, Yang Miaocai explained carefully: "Commander, at this time, the public opinion in the DPRK is close to reaching a consensus on Yuan Manzi's killing of Marshal Mao. However, the emperor seems to be a bit stubborn. This is not the case.

That’s a good sign.”

As he spoke, Yang Miaocai looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated to speak.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother Miaocai, you and I are brothers. There is no need to avoid too many taboos. Just speak frankly."

Yang Miaocai nodded heavily and said: "Commander, what happened to Marshal Mao... Although Yuan Manzi did something wrong, but ~~, Marshal Mao's reputation in the court has never been very good... Marshal, it's a humble position."

Although I made a favorable prediction in the previous secret report I wrote to you, I only figured out some details today."

As Yang Miaocai spoke, he took a heavy puff of his cigar and said, "Commander, the biggest cause of Marshal Mao's death is probably... his temper. Although Yuan Manzi is extremely eccentric, he also seems to be a little unreasonable.

But Beizhi had some contact with him. This man had an extremely sharp mind and great courage, but he was not unreasonable. Now that Beizhi thought about it, the reason why Yuan Manzi dared to attack Mao Shuai directly. On the one hand, Yuan Manzi took advantage of the opportunity he had at this time.

The emperor's favor wants to get rid of Mao Shuai, and in general, it will overwhelm you. On the other hand, I'm afraid~~ Mao Shuai has made too many enemies, and Yuan Manzi also wants to take advantage of this shareholder's style. Therefore, Da

Shuai, when you enter the capital this time, low-key and forbearance, even if it is not the main theme, must be maintained within this framework. The most important thing is that the emperor must understand your attitude."

Yang Miaocai's words were already somewhat heart-wrenching. He had already sensed most of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament.

Governor Yuan's killing of Mao Wenlong indeed caused an uproar in the court. Many people complained about Mao Wenlong.

But in essence, the personalities of Mao Wenlong and Governor Yuan are actually... evenly matched.

At this time, it is true that many people are complaining about Mao Wenlong, but at least 90% of them do so, and their purpose is obviously not that simple.

Li Yuanqing nodded with deep understanding, "Brother Miaocai, don't worry about this matter. Yuan Qing must be cautious and walk on thin ice."

Seeing the sincerity in Li Yuanqing's eyes, Yang Miaocai breathed a sigh of relief.

This is also the biggest difference between Li Yuanqing and other heroes.

Li Yuanqing can listen to what others say and respect other people's opinions.

Therefore, Yang Miaocai dared to say this to Li Yuanqing.

After a while, Yang Miaocai said again: "Commander, as for Mao Shuai's widow Zhang, if, if our inference above is correct, I'm afraid she is inseparable from ten. Even if Shen is favored by Mao Shuai, Mao Shuai will not be inseparable."

After all, she has not divorced her wife, and Mrs. Zhang has been raising Mao Shuai's beloved son. It is difficult to find fault with her both emotionally and rationally. If the emperor... the emperor really recruits Ms. Shen to the palace and uses words to coax her, avoid it first.

At this point, this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, "Brother Miaocai, this matter is also something I am extremely worried about. After all, Shen is a female generation. Even if the emperor does not coax her, but directly puts her under forced house arrest, this is for us,

It’s a big~ trouble. It’s still very difficult for us to handle this key issue in detail.”

Yang Miaocai nodded and said: "Commander, there is actually nothing we can do about this matter. Even if the emperor can control the Shen family, his mouth is still on the human body. If the matter really gets beyond control, then we can only

It may be a dead end. However, at this time, things have not gone so bad yet. It is impossible for the emperor to play with fire with such an important matter. But we must prepare for the worst first."

"Brother Miaocai is right."

Li Yuanqing exhaled a long breath and said: "Be prepared for a rainy day. Only by being prepared can you be safe. It is not a bad thing to think more about this matter."

Yang Miaocai relaxed a little at this time and said with a smile: "Commander, the key to this matter at this time still lies with the emperor himself. Marshal must make good use of the prince's card."

…………

Yang Miaocai chatted with Li Yuanqing for an hour and a half before leaving.

Li Yuanqing would not go to Wuyu Pavilion to rest, but would rent a few small courtyards directly at the inn next door to this big restaurant.

When Li Yuanqing, escorted by Yang Lei and two soldiers, returned to the small courtyard of the inn, Chen Chuang and Kyoko Kubo had been waiting here for a long time.

After a few brief greetings, the three of them arrived at the house.

Chen Chuang hurriedly reported to Li Yuanqing the latest situation in the city tonight.

Kyoko Kubo also reported to Li Yuanqing in detail the developments she had grasped.

Although Kubo Kyoko was still affiliated with Warehouse No. 3 at this time, her work here was mainly focused on people, and mainly focused on the party leaders and backbones of various factions in Beijing at this time.

Although the intelligence on her side is not as comprehensive as Chen Chuang's, the amount of information in it is quite high.

After listening to the two people's reports, Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Xiao Chuang, Kyoko, you two have worked hard these years."

Chen Chuang and Kubo Kyoko hurriedly knelt down respectfully, "Serving the commander-in-chief is a blessing from a humble position."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Although the situation is a crisis at this time, it is not as difficult as you think. You don't have to be too nervous. Xiao Chuang, these days, you have been keeping an eye on Wang Gonggong's side carefully. Well, the main thing is to see if he has

What needs."

"Yes." Chen Chuang hurriedly said yes respectfully.

Li Yuanqing smiled and looked at Kubo Kyoko: "Kyoko, please step aside first. I will find you later."

"Yes." Kubo Kyoko quickly exited the door respectfully and carefully.

Li Yuanqing looked at Chen Chuang with a smile, threw him a cigar, and knocked out one himself. Chen Chuang hurriedly took out the cigar, carefully lit it with Li Yuanqing, and then lit his own.

The two of them puffed away for a moment before Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Xiao Chuang, tell me what you think."

Chen Chuang took a deep breath from his cigar and said respectfully: "Commander, although the emperor has not made a clear statement at this time, he has already revealed this trend. I have been thinking about what he wants to do these days? Could it be that he

Do you really want to fight with the ministers? Commander, although the situation is good for us at this time, the ministers are dissatisfied with Yuan Manzi and put pressure on the emperor, but I feel that something is wrong with the direction of the wind."

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Xiao Chuang, it's great that you can see this. Do you remember what I have always emphasized to you before? When things go to extremes, they must turn against each other! When everyone is in good hands, this matter may not be imagined.

The benefits are good. I have talked with Yang Miaocai before, and he now also has a bearish attitude on this matter."

Chen Chuang was stunned for a moment, but he came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Commander, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, his face turned cold, "Xiao Chuang, no matter whether this matter is good or bad, we first need to be prepared for the worst. Are the manpower in all aspects of Beijing still sufficient?"

Chen Chuang hurriedly said respectfully: "Commander, as long as there is no change in the palace, I can mobilize two thousand elites in half an hour at most. Even if there is a change in the palace, I am sure that we can open the door in the palace within an hour."

A gap."

Li Yuanqing nodded, and after a moment, he smiled and kicked Chen Chuang: "That's right. Xiao Chuang, I've suffered a lot for you these years. When things here are over, you can go back to Changsheng Island, take a good rest for a few months, and spend more time with me."

Spend time with my wife and kids.”

Chen Chuang chuckled and nodded, "Thank you so much, Commander. I've been looking forward to this day even though I'm in my humble position."

Chen Chuang left not long after, and a moment later, Kyoko Kubo appeared carefully in front of Li Yuanqing, "Master."

Although her body was a little restrained, her big bright eyes were full of expectation.

Li Yuanqing smiled and rubbed Kubo Kyoko's long hair affectionately, "How is Ichiro doing now?"

An alluring blush suddenly appeared on Kubo Kyoko's pretty face, and she whispered happily: "Master, Ichiro has now been promoted to a samurai of Tottori Castle. As expected, by the second half of next year, he will be able to serve as a samurai."

Identity, returned to Satsuma."

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes. Ichiro did not disappoint me. However, he is too weak-tempered, so don't use your strength rashly. He must be allowed to hone for a few more years. An eagle that has not experienced the wind and rain will not fly.

Really high altitude.”

But as he spoke, Li Yuanqing's big hands began to wreak havoc on Kubo Kyoko's plump chest.

Kubo Kyoko was ashamed and happy, and knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing like a kitten, allowing Li Yuanqing to have more comfortable close contact with her, and whispered: "Master, this slave will definitely supervise Ichiro."

…………

The night was already dark, and the cold wind was howling and beating on the window eaves, making a snapping sound.

Beside her, the exhausted Kyoko Kubo was already like a kitten, leaning on Li Yuanqing's arms and falling asleep sweetly.

Her figure was already petite, less than 1.5 meters tall. At this moment, from Li Yuanqing's perspective, she looked like an exquisite porcelain doll.

However, although he was very tired physically and mentally at this time, Li Yuanqing did not feel much sleepy.

Only in such a lonely and empty night, his mind would become clearer.

At this time, although the situation is a bit tense and not optimistic, it is not impossible to deal with. The key point of everything lies with Emperor Chongzhen.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was deeply afraid of him, Li Yuanqing, and always wanted to cause trouble for Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing also knew Emperor Chongzhen deeply.

He was like a willful child who got the throne by accident. He was always anxious to prove something or change something. But he didn't know that haste makes waste. The more impatient and irritable he became, not only did he not

It will change things too much, but will further worsen the situation.

If one were to confront Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, even if he could win in the end, it would inevitably cost both parties a lot of energy, making Ming, who was already seriously ill at this time, even more exhausted and delayed, making it difficult to take steps forward.

It's a wise move.

The best way is to 'block rather than loosen', just like 'coaxing a child', following his temper, and slowly guiding him to the angle that Li Yuanqing needs more.

For example, party strife within the imperial court...
