Chapter 657
Chapter 657
The completely closed-loop method of committing the crime and the collective favoritism of Shen Ji Shu forced Cao Zhengchun to swallow his anger for the time being.
Before leaving, Cao Dugong, who had glared at Xu Shan fiercely, gave him a thumbs up in public.
After he turned around and left, the Donglin Party ministers who came to cheer him on also left the palace in disgrace.
"The Donglin Party's fighting power is not good enough now!"
"If it was before, wouldn't you have knelt in front of the imperial study, knocked your head until it bled, and used your age and seniority to make a death-defying remonstration?"
The Qinglong who came down jokingly sneered.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang smiled and turned around, saying, "This is all thanks to our 'Beijing Xu Bantian's' psychological strategy."
"Oh?"
"Jia Tianxiang's entire family was wiped out. The murderer was the old man in his mansion and the spy from the Western Factory."
"Xu Bantian mobilized his 'naval forces' and 'pacification envoy's newspaper' to make this matter a hot topic."
"To the point that everyone in the Donglin Party felt insecure."
"Now those who are capable of fighting are all at home catching the traitor."
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Qinglong's eyes widened and he said, "Disloyalty? That's quite a mean trick."
"Even worse, our Lord Xu bribed the servants of the Minister of Personnel. When Wang Mian was investigating himself, he accidentally exposed himself."
"I admitted that I was a spy sent by the Western Factory Committee. Once this incident came out, people were in a panic."
"Do you think that at this time, if Lord Xu, whose name we cannot even mention, destroys the Western Factory, will they come out to support Cao Zhengchun?"
When Yuan Tiangang said this with a smile, Qinglong and others suddenly widened their eyes.
At this moment, Xu Shan replied with a wry smile: "Master, just call me Xu Shan. It's more intimate to call me bastard."
"How dare I? You have such great influence in the capital."
After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Qinglong beside him also jokingly said, "Yes, that's right!"
"Master Xu, what should I pay attention to when talking to you again? Please clarify it in advance to avoid me making mistakes."
"Come on, both of you give me a smile first."
'Snapped. '
Xu Shan, who was taking himself seriously, was kicked on the butt by Qinglong as soon as he finished speaking.
"Give you face?"
"hey-hey!"
"You bastard, be careful of the 'fire of karma, lightning and thunder'!"
Yuan Tiangang said with a faint smile, hinting at something.
"I'm not afraid of anything. I have so many foster fathers here. If I were to be struck by lightning, it wouldn't be possible for a junior like me to be the first one to be struck by lightning."
"roll!"
Just as Qinglong uttered this word, Hong Gu hurried over.
"Master Xu, His Majesty invites you."
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang sneered and turned away.
Qinglong, who was holding Xu Shan, said to him separately, "Can you please be quiet? Even if you break up with the Tianfeng Clan again, you can't openly look for girls outside."
"Shangguan Yan'er, she is the beloved disciple of the Heavenly Master."
Hearing this, Xu Shan chuckled inwardly, "You probably don't know that I've also captured another beloved disciple of the Heavenly Master, right?"
"Father-in-law, what's out there is just a rumor. Last night, I stayed pure for Bluebird."
"Uh-huh?"
"You, what did you call me? You, you... you bastard, why are you running?"
Sir Xiao Xu, who didn't even dare to look back, quickly caught up with Hong Gu.
"Master Xu, His Majesty hasn't slept all night and is in a bad mood. Please bear with him!"
When they were approaching the imperial study, Hong Gu gave a brief reminder.
"what?"
"Irritable, huh? What I'm best at is putting out fires."
After saying this, Xu Shan, who was standing at the door, said softly, "Don't let anyone in for a while. I have something important to discuss with His Majesty."
"Yes."
'Bang.'
The sound of the imperial study door slamming shut caused Zhu Youwei, who was pretending to read a memorial, to suddenly raise her head.
After their eyes met, Zhu Youwei said coldly, "Hey, isn't this Xu Bantian from the capital?"
"It's widely rumored that he only took the surname Zhu when the palace gates were opened in the capital, and took the surname Xu when the palace gates were closed."
Hearing the other party's words that were obviously full of resentment, Xu Shan leaned forward and replied with a smile: "What you said..."
"It's like closing the door of the imperial study and saying that the surname Xu is no longer here."
"You...Xu Shan, you are becoming more and more presumptuous."
'Woo woo.'
As soon as Zhu Youwei finished speaking, Xu Shan jumped over the desk and pounced on her.
When a partner who has made a mistake reports his work to an angry female leader alone, he should not complain or ramble on.
Is that an explanation she wants?
No, what she wants is your attitude.
During this time…
We must get straight to the point, grasp the central direction, and fully release our energy and motivation.
When necessary, we must take the initiative to open up new tracks, master new methods, and open new interfaces.
Effectively implement one basic principle, two key points, and at least three sets of essentials.
Only in this way can we push this report to a new height and reach a new peak.
Lay a solid foundation for the next promotion!
After reporting alone for more than an hour, Mr. Xu walked out of the imperial study feeling refreshed.
"Master Xu, Her Majesty..."
"The fire has gone out, I feel a little tired, and I fell asleep."
"It's a bit of a mess in there, I'd like to trouble Aunt Hong to clean it up."
"It should."
After watching Xu Shan leave, Hong Gu went in to investigate herself.
The scene was more than just chaos, it was a complete mess.
The memorials on the desk were scattered on the floor. The couch used for naps had a broken leg.
There are traces of fighting in many areas.
"what?"
Especially when Hong Gu saw the scratches left by ten fingers on the red pillar in the side hall, even an old lady like her was shocked.
She carefully measured the height. According to this height, His Majesty should have grasped it with both hands. And Lord Xu was right behind her...
"It's great to be young!"
"However, when the Prince of Beiliang comes to the capital to pay his respects to the Emperor, should we still wake His Majesty?"
Looking at Zhu Youwei, who was sleeping soundly on the dragon couch with a blushing face, Hong Gu muttered to herself.
……
As soon as Xu Shan walked out of the palace gate, Wang Qinian, who was waiting anxiously there, hurried over to him.
"What happened?"
"A spy reported that around midnight, someone was working under the guise of the Ministry of Rites in front of Jiaoling Post, more than ten miles from the capital."
"Jiaoling Posthouse? Didn't they say the Ministry of Rites was going there today to welcome the Prince of Beiliang? What's the big deal?"
"I've already reviewed the itinerary set by the Ministry of Rites, and this item isn't included. More importantly, yesterday, taking advantage of the commotion at Prince Ning's mansion, I secretly ordered a painter to take down portraits of the important people in the mansion."
"I just checked and found that one or two of them had been at the construction site before."
"They are all subordinates of Duan Tianya, the number one Xuanzi officer in the Ning Palace. Also, based on the spies' general description of the construction site, Goudan suspects they are setting up some kind of formation."
"Also, just an hour ago, Prince Ning caused a big commotion at the Northern Pacification Office, alleging that the Jinyiwei had usurped their position. As a result, Xing Tongzhi, who was supposed to go to greet the Northern Liang prince, was forced to stay behind, and had no choice but to send Qingniao."
Hearing this, Xu Shan's eyes became cold.
"I never believe in coincidences!"
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"
