Chapter Thirty-six A careless move
Min Cang's words were deeply touching. The officials in the court nodded when they heard this. Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Hu hurriedly interrupted Min Cang's words, "Mr. Min, you have to pay attention to the truth. Without evidence, it is not enough to rely solely on the 'reputation of the official in Daxing'. Our family can also guarantee the loyalty of serving the emperor for several years and the personality of worrying about the country and the people. Yun Buzhi must be a problem!"
Loyalty? Personality? If you even have these two things, Eunuch Hu, then there will be no villain in the world. The officials wanted to laugh when they heard this, but they looked at the hatred expression on Eunuch Hu's pale face and endured it back. Therefore, the atmosphere in the court is the same as the expression on the face of the officials, which is extremely strange.
"Eunuch Hu said that there is real evidence, but he doesn't know what the so-called "real evidence" is?" Min Cang still spoke, still not impatient, as if he had completely ignored the deadly poison that Eunuch Hu had just sprayed out.
Well, this old guy is exhausted. Seeing that our family doesn't beat the dog in the water, you and Yun Buji must be done today! Eunuch Hu thought to himself and squeezed out a smile that was ugly than crying, and said, "Isn't what our family has always said to be true? Why is the purpose of the good Yun Buji suddenly deployed defense? Isn't it that he is going to rise up and break the ground?"
"Eunuch Hu asked well, what did the Cangzhou Governor want to strengthen the city defense at this time?"
"If Mr. Min suffers from ear disease, he might as well go home. How about he spending his life with his old age? Yun Buji's intention is well known. Why did his husband pretend to be confused?"
"In this way, I dare to ask my father-in-law how to judge the purpose of the army's defense? As far as I know, Eunuch Hu was an eunuch since he entered the palace, and then he was honored by the holy grace and became the eunuch. He usually took charge of documents and conveyed edicts. He didn't know when his father-in-law had a unique view on military and political affairs. Moreover, the country of loyalty could be replaced by the Grand Sima. It would be a blessing for all people to have a "loyal minister" like the father-in-law in Daxing!"
When Eunuch Hu heard Min Cangming's praise and criticism, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he was too proud and violated the taboo of "eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics". However, seeing that the emperor seemed to have no reaction, Eunuch Hu felt relieved and quickly changed the topic, "Thank you, Lord Min, for the praise of these people, our family is also for the emperor, for the sake of great prosperity, so we must never watch Yun Buzhi and others form cliques and make illegal plans!"
"Dare you ask Eunuch Hu, Tianmen Pass is one of the five great passes of Daxing?"
"Yes." Min Cang must be so confused. Can you ask such questions? Eunuch Hu did not doubt it, and replied truthfully.
"Apart from Shalin Pass, the other five great passes have the responsibilities of the Northern Anti-Japanese Jiuhong. Does your father-in-law know?"
"Of course we know!"
"Is it not normal to have the responsibility to defend the enemy, consolidate defense and strengthen military preparations? Why is it so unbearable for my father-in-law?"
"It's not this time that confrontation with Jiuhong, why did you strengthen your armed forces when there were no signs of war? What's the point of rebellion?"
"How did my father-in-law know that there is no sign of war? Jiuhong has always fought undeclaredly, and the autumn harvest season is about to enter. Although Jiuhong has been invading the border for five years, who can guarantee that he will not come this year? Dare to guarantee his life?"
Of course, Eunuch Hu didn't dare to make this promise. He was planning to incite a war, but this statement would definitely not be told to outsiders. And he had to find a way to turn the situation around, that's right. If Min Cang had such a killer move, why didn't he use it early and had to wait until he forced him to death before using it? Is Min Cang too confident or too disregarded himself?
In fact, Min Cang was also a dangerous move. He always used the word "chaotic" method, making the scene more chaotic, the better, and the wider the attack surface of Eunuch Hu, the better. Although Eunuch Hu had been in the palace for decades and was acting conspiracies, he became much more tender in politics. At least he was far from the same level as Min Cang, an old fox who had been in the officialdom for decades. Min Cang was waiting, waiting for Eunuch Hu to fall into chaos and wait for Eunuch Hu to make a fatal mistake. Although the emperor's protection cannot move him, his purpose is to protect Yun Buju. As long as Eunuch Hu makes a mistake, he can achieve his goal!
Eunuch Hu was also thinking at this time, how can I prove that Jiuhong would not commit it? As long as I can prove this, Yun Buji will die, and even Min Cang will take a chance. How to prove it? Yes, did you find an envoy to come to Daxing to sign a peace agreement? This is the ironclad proof! Hahahaha, it depends on how you old guy died!
"Mr. Min is really forgetful. Didn't Jiuhong submit a letter to the country a few days ago, indicating that he wanted to send envoys to discuss peace? Lord. Min should also remember that Jiuhong's prince and the second prince were on the way at this time? Could it be that Jiuhong would start a war at this moment, completely ignoring the life and death of the prince and the second prince?"
That's what Min Cang waited for, Eunuch Hu's words. It seems that the bet was right this time! Min Cang looked lighter and smiled: "Didn't my father-in-law say the fake things that Jiuhong's letter said these days, and he also said that this is a "Jiuhong's plan to attack the west" and wants to take advantage of my great progress to prevent the border. As for the prince and the second prince who came to the envoy, they must have a way to escape without being able to escape. Moreover, my father-in-law is trying his best to convince Your Majesty to give you the right to guard the border. Could it be that my father-in-law has forgotten? What the incorrect actions of the Governor of Cangzhou coincides with my father-in-law's idea? Is my father-in-law also 'prepared to rise up and break the ground and ban the border'?"
Eunuch Hu was suffocated when he heard this. It was terrible. How could he forget this? It was obvious that he had heard Wen Qianzheng's words and had some fake things to mess up. Not only did he get rid of Liang Wenshu, he strongly implemented the "disaster prevention silver" for increasing taxes and increasing income, but he also made Min Cang dirty. He has always been a strong leader. How could it be, how could it be, the fat meat that has gone to the mouth?
Eunuch Hu was so angry that he couldn't understand why he got himself in because of the trouble of Yun Buji and Min Cang. No! I don't agree! I don't agree! I don't agree! I don't agree!
In fact, it’s nothing wrong for Eunuch Hu to admit that he is defeated now. Relying on the favor of the emperor, he said that the affairs of the Clan of the State and the affairs of Tianmen Pass were his own inferences. They were all for the sake of the country. They beat him up and acted like a scoundrel. No one could do anything about him. If he was shameless enough, he would be avenged for Min Cang. With Min Cang’s qualifications, it would be difficult to pursue it again. When this matter is calm and he stabs the knife in the back, who can control Eunuch Hu?
But Eunuch Hu is used to being a winner and being used to being timid to all officials. If someone doesn't follow his wishes, he will take action to get rid of it. The Liang family massacre is a typical example. But Min Cang has been unable to move. Without Liang Wenshu's help, he is about to crush the last person who dares to fight against him. Why did he make such a fatal mistake?
Eunuch Hu refused to let go, but he really couldn't figure it out. He was so angry that he could only darken his eyes and fainted. Eunuch Hu was carried down today and could stand up tomorrow. But today's defeat caused a subtle change in the psychology of all officials and exposed his biggest weakness. It can be said that he failed to crush Min Cang today, so Eunuch Hu planted the seeds of disaster for the future with his own hands. What is ridiculous is that in fact, today's affairs were not a big deal. No wonder predecessors often said that a thousand-mile dike collapsed in an ant hole!
Although Mr. Min reversed the situation and today he was considered to have protected Yun Buji, it was not easy, because he knew clearly that the most terrifying thing about Mr. Hu was not political means, but secretly using a secret move. The so-called open guns are easy to avoid, but secret arrows are difficult to prevent. Since ancient times, only a thousand days have been a thief, so how can one be a thief for thousands of days? It seems that he must be careful everywhere and beware of it at all times in the future. The most important thing is to strengthen the guardianship of his own house, and fire prevention measures must be foolproof.
Eunuch Hu deliberately planned Min Cang, and Min Cang had to rack his brains to counterattack, which was exactly:
If you get happy occasionally, you will be worried, and if you get secrets, you will suffer.
