In fact, what these people argue about is nothing. What is really important is Huang Huai's attitude after all.

Huang Huai obviously understood this truth, so he just listened casually and still looked half-dead.

But now, it’s impossible to rely on others without relying on others.

Finally, Huang Huai cleared his throat and said, "All the great words of the people are all about planning the country. I have a word, so I hope you can listen quietly." After pondering for a moment, Huang Huai continued, "The court raises troops for a thousand days and uses troops for a while. This new army is the pillar of the court. Once a chaos occurs, it will be a shocking change. Now the court has many difficulties, and I also agree with this, but because of this, the food and salary must be given. Even if we grit our teeth, we must overcome this difficulty. In my opinion, the Ministry of Revenue will think of a solution. If you do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time, I will decide what to do.

After he finished speaking, a eunuch disappeared on the side of the hall.

Someone ran to Wanshou Palace and panted and reported Huang Huai's words.

Empress Dowager Xu was still on the sickbed. She listened casually and finally smiled: "Huang Huai is an old fox. He is helping the new army. Isn't this clearly a show of goodwill to the Ai family? It seems that this person is still very cautious. He knows how to seek profit and avoid harm. Is there any movement there?"

The eunuch said, "I didn't see anyone coming from the Zhou palace nearby."

Empress Dowager Xu frowned. The so-called person from the Zhou royal palace was the confidant brought to the palace by the emperor. At this time, Empress Dowager Xu's face was terrifyingly gloomy. She squinted her eyes and said slowly: "Huang Huai... It seems that she has a good relationship with Your Majesty, so I ask someone to check it immediately. What else has there before? I ask someone to closely monitor it."

After saying that, Empress Dowager Xu seemed very tired. Huang Huai, a man, had never expressed any attitude before. His attitude. To a certain extent, it was the attitude of all officials. These officials were extremely cautious and would never make their position easily. But now they are different. Now they are at this critical moment. They can't continue to be delicate. This time, the New Army Governor Xu Jingming urged for the salary was a test. If Huang Huai side had the issue of ensuring food and salary for the new army, it can be seen that this person is very likely to be inclined to the Queen Mother and the Xu family, and on the contrary, it may be unreliable.

Originally, Huang Huai's statement made Empress Dowager Xu think that this person's attitude had already been shown, but after careful consideration, the emperor did not send anyone to inquire about such a big thing, which was obviously abnormal. The only possibility is that the emperor had already known Huang Huai's attitude before, so why did he know it early? The emperor must have had a secret conversation with Huang Huai, and Huang Huai had turned to the emperor. Although this conclusion was a bit arbitrary, it might be that Huang Huai, the old man, privately, was talking to the emperor. On the surface, he spoke for the Xu family, and there was a snake and a rat. But this person was no longer trustworthy.

Empress Dowager Xu was already worried at this time, because she had been tempting in advance, and even if Hao Fenglou was summoned to Beijing, she still had the intention of tempting. As soon as the emperor talked about this, Zhu Youdun immediately recruited the kings to Beijing without authorization. The implication was that she was extremely suspicious of the Xu family, and Empress Dowager Xu was worried about this suspicion. Now that is the case, once the Xu family handed over the power, what?

Empress Dowager Xu's plan was very simple, which was to use the Hao family to govern the royal family, and then use the royal family to put pressure on the Hao family. The Xu family swayed left and right to maintain this delicate balance. Therefore, as long as Hao Fenglou entered the capital, on the one hand, he kept Hao Fenglou in the capital, so that Hao Zheng did not dare to move troops easily, while the Xu family became closer to the Hao family, causing the royal family to doubt.

And now the attitude of all officials made her feel a little unsure. This balance seems to be a little far from Empress Dowager Xu's original intention.

She sighed, unable to help but sigh.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After one month.

Hao Fenglou led nearly 30,000 elite troops to Changxing Island. Here, Hao Fenglou did not move westward, but instead lived in a noble manner. Then he submitted a memorial and told the court that he would enter the capital on a date. In order to show his sincerity, he would not bring any soldiers or soldiers.

The memorial was delivered to the capital, and everyone was relieved. Obviously, everyone was waiting for Hao Fenglou to fall into the trap, so they were all energetic and widened their eyes to wait for the King of Dingnan to set off.

But who knew that Hao Fenglou fell ill.

That’s right, Hao Fenglou was exhausted from traveling, and worked hard to ride a boat for thousands of miles, and experienced countless storms. In order to meet his mother as soon as possible, he finally couldn’t stand it and fell ill directly.

He is very 'sick'.

In the words of Changxing Island, it means that the mouth cannot speak or the body cannot move.

As a result, the news spread to Jinling and there was another uproar.

Is Hao Fenglou really sick? When will he not get sick? It is really unreasonable to get sick at this time.

But Hao Fenglou said that he was sick. If you doubt it, what else can you do?

So what was placed before the Jinling Dukes was a new problem. The empress dowager was seriously ill. Hao Fenglou came to visit him thousands of miles away, but fell ill. Greater China is a country of etiquette. Can this country of etiquette still have no humanitarianism to the patients? Etiquette is mutual. Just like the empress dowager is sick, Hao Fenglou is going to Jinling. Now Hao Fenglou is ill on the island, there is no reason, and the court has no expression.

This is the key to the problem.

Now all three parties have put in full force at this time and are trapped in a very embarrassing problem.

Everyone had doubts about the other two parties, which was of course obvious, so everyone was testing the reactions of the other two parties, and even sharpening their knives. But the worst problem now is that the situation is at a deadlock.

Without saying a word, Zhu Youzhuo immediately sent Liu Yi, the Minister of War, to visit the disease.

During the court discussion, Liu Yi opposed the allocation of money and food by the new army. As the Minister of War, he did not gain benefits for his own ministry, and he was very considerate of the difficulties of the Ministry of Revenue. Such a minister who transcends the interests of various ministries is really rare. Of course, it is not a time to seek in vain. There is only one reason why he is like this, that is, he is a hard-core emperor party.

Zhu Youdun sent him to Changxing Island. On the one hand, this person has enough qualifications. After all, you cannot send a cat or a dog to him. This is a destruction of the identity of King Dingnan. At the same time, you must send your own people, because if you call Empress Dowager Xu's people, who knows what secret orders will be made to make this person conspire with Hao Fenglou?

Zhu Youdun was very relieved of the Minister of War, and the Minister of War was also relaxed and happy.

As a result, for Empress Dowager Xu, she fell into an embarrassing situation again, and the emperor sent her confidant to Changxing. She was very uneasy. Although Hao Fenglou was her adopted son and her son-in-law, many things were hard to explain. Who knew what the emperor promised? Such things must not be done with others. They must have someone they trust to stare at.

Empress Dowager Xu asked someone to call Xu Jingming.

When Xu Jingming saw Empress Dowager Xu, he first bowed humbly: "My minister Xu Jingming, I have met the Empress, the Empress, a thousand years old."

Compared to the past, Xu Jingming was much more steady, but his eyebrows still looked uneasy.

Empress Dowager Xu looked at him deeply and said slowly: "How has the new army been practicing recently?"

Xu Jingming said: "I am lucky to have fulfilled my orders. I already have a lot of appearances. However, a vassal king led his troops into the capital, but he wanted the new army to free up the military camp..."

Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't worry about these things for now. The Ai family is here to find you because they are here to trouble you."

Empress Dowager Xu is obviously very familiar with Xu Jingming. For a person like him, you can just be harsh. Even if you are your own nephew, you must not give him three points of color, otherwise he will be able to open a dyeing workshop immediately.

Xu Jingming looked nervous and said, "I haven't made any mistakes recently."

"Hmph, Hao Fenglou is the adopted son of the Ai family and his son-in-law. You and Hao Fenglou are brothers of righteousness. How close is this kind of relationship? But now, he is sick on a deserted island. You, a brother, are still living in the capital. What is the reason? As a person, you must understand the worldly ways. The Ai family is sick. As a son-in-law, Hao Fenglou comes to visit him from afar. And you and Hao Fenglou are brothers of righteousness. Now Hao Fenglou is sick. Can you still make trouble in this capital? You, you are not a good person. Even if you don't have the will of Your Majesty and have no emperor's destiny, you should be more loyal and leave for Changxing anyway..."

In fact, Xu Jingming has always been pretending to be confused. There is only one reason for pretending to be confused, that is, he doesn’t want to go to Changxing.

I was scared by the trouble of Hao Fenglou. Xu Jingming really didn't want to deal with Hao Fenglou anymore, but now, I finally didn't open any pot and brought up any pot. Xu Jingming looked at Empress Dowager Xu pitifully and said, "I can go when I see Xu Jingshen."

Empress Dowager Xu immediately retorted: "If it doesn't work, you must go. This matter is too important. Others, Ai's family is worried, and they are too confused. This is the difficulty of Ai's family. Oh, you can set off immediately."
