Chapter 681: Mantis Catching Cicadas
When it comes to the diligence of the Dayue chief minister, for hundreds of years, it is probably only the prime minister at the time of the founding of the country that could be compared with Xu Enmao. As for Cao Yi, the prime minister at the Dayue chief minister who was born in the noble prince could not be ranked. (No, pop-up window... But diligence does not mean that it is efficient. Xu Enmao is far from being compared with the prime minister at the founding of the country. Even Cao Yi has a huge gap, but this does not mean that Xu Enmao is not capable.
During the country, Dayue was like now, with internal rebellions everywhere and chaos. The Mongolians knocked on the outside. However, because Dayue had just been established and internally united, this is incomparable to the present. Every decree of the Dayue Prime Minister at that time was fully implemented. Now, Xu Enmao was in internal and external troubles. The most important thing is that in Shangjing, there was a former Dayue Prime Minister Cao Yi who had far surpassed his. With such a person in the interfering place, Xu Enmao struggled.
Today is like the past, I haven't been asleep all night, working all night, until a trace of whiteness in the east appeared, Xu Enmao walked out of the side hall where he worked, stretched his waist long, and with the help of the cold wind outside, his tired nerves were slightly excited.
"Sir!" The guard at the door of the side hall bent down humbly to salute.
"Yeah!" Xu Enmao hummed from his nose and responded. He stood at the door, stretched his fist and kicked his legs and turned around and was about to go back. He took a step and suddenly stopped again. He looked at the guard at the door with a look of surprise on his face.
"Who are you? It seems that you were not on duty yesterday?" He asked. The guards were fixed in the place where he worked. Although he didn't know their names, he saw them every day and was familiar with those faces.
"Sir, we adjusted the defense last night." The guard bent down and saluted with a humble attitude, unable to find any rudeness.
"Defense adjustment last night?" Xu Enmao's heart was thrilled. The palace guards adjusted their defense. Why didn't he know at all, and he felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Which one are you from?"
"The Chief Auxiliary, the subordinate of General Zeng Xuan, the Fengtai Camp, was ordered to be transferred last night."
"What did you say? Zeng Xuan, the Fengtai Camp, turned out to be General Huang Chengxi who was stationed in the palace?" Xu Enmao asked in surprise.
"Sir, I don't know the position." The guard smiled.
Xu Enmao's heart thumped up, and he never looked at the two of them again. He walked back to the hall until he held on to the big case. Only then did he feel dizzy and something happened! Something must have happened! Huang Chengxi, who was responsible for the defense of the palace, was the old man when His Majesty the Emperor was in the residence. It was because of this that he was entrusted with important tasks to defend the palace, but now quietly, he was actually transferred to guard the defense and had no news. Zeng Xuan, he had never heard of this person, who gave the order to adjust the defense?
He patted his face with both hands, forcing himself to calm down, and Xu Enmao walked out of the hall.
"Sir!" The two guards were polite. "Where are you going, please protect me!"
"I'm going to go to the inner palace. You can't get in there, so stay here to guard. There are many important documents in the palace. When I'm not here, no one is allowed to enter." Xu Enmao tried his best to make himself as if nothing had happened. At this time, he wanted to enter the palace first and find the Empress Dowager. If something really happened, at this time, the only one who could turn the tide was the Empress Dowager.
"Yes!" The two guards seemed to know nothing and took the order with their chests straightened. Xu Enmao breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that he had been under house arrest and could not act freely, so it would be miserable.
Turning around, holding his head up and strode towards the harem. But before he even stepped out of the corner gate, Xu Enmao stopped because there were a group of people in front of him, the first one, which was the one he had just visited the chief assistant of Echizen, Cao Yi.
"Mr. Xu!" Cao Yi smiled and clasped his fists to salute.
Seeing Cao Yi, Xu Enmao finally realized that at this time in the capital, the only person who has the ability to instigate Huang Chengxi was probably the only person in front of him, Ruo Guanyu, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be the chief assistant of Dae Echizen, who was always in control of Zhizhu.
"What does Cao Gong mean?" Xu Enmao stopped his steps, looked down at Cao Yi who was coming from the steps from the steps, and shouted sternly. There is no need to say anything more. Cao Yi is just a civilian now, but the fact that he can step into the palace as if no one else was there was already a problem. What's more, behind him, a team of fully armed soldiers followed. Looking at the veteran in the costume of the fourth-rank General Xuanwei beside Cao Yi, it should be Zeng Xuan in the mouth of the guard.
Cao Yi smiled at the sky and walked closer. Although he looked up at Xu Enmao, his eyes were full of pity. "Mr. Xu, Dayue needs to end this civil strife as soon as possible. Dayue people need to recuperate. Dayue's economy needs time to recover, Dayue's economy needs enough time to heal. Therefore, the knowledgeable people of Dayue must make an important choice, is it the old man or the fourth master? Unfortunately for you, most people chose the fourth master."
"This is a plot to rebel!" Xu Enmao's hair and hair were wide open, "This is a rebellion, Cao Yi, do you want to be humiliated by history for thousands of years?"
Cao Yi sneered: "You and I know how the uncle got the throne. Mr. Xu, don't you think it's funny to say this? I think it's not me, Mr. Cao, who was nailed to the pillar of shame in history, but Mr. Xu!"
Xu Enmao blushed and looked at Cao Yi, "Don't think that if you control the palace, you will have Shangjing, and you will not succeed!"
Cao Yi smiled and said, "Since Cao takes action, he will naturally be foolproof."
After saying this, there were already rapid footsteps behind him. Gou Ping bent over and trotted all the way. Behind him were a group of eunuchs, but these people were carrying a food box. These eunuchs ran all the way, lined up the food box on the ground, placed it in front of Xu Enmao, and then bowed and retreated.

Gou Ping walked up to Cao Yi and whispered, "Duke Cao, according to your instructions, all those who should disappear have disappeared."
Cao Yi smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!" He turned his face and looked at Xu Enmao, "Mr. Xu, don't you open it and see?"
Xu Enmao stared at Cao Yi for a while, bent down and opened the lid of a food box. In an instant, his face turned pale, his hands became soft, and the food box fell to the ground. In the food box, a person's head was all open, looking angry and shocked. It was Huang Pu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Xu Enmao's eyes flew over more than a dozen food boxes one by one, and he saw Huang Pu's head. He could guess what else it was without looking at.
With his legs weak, Xu Enmao sat on the ground.
Cao Yi smiled and said to Gou Ping, "Gou Ping, Mr. Xu is tired. Please help Mr. Xu into the palace to recuperate. Don't be too slow to treat him, let alone treat him harshly!"
"Yes!" Gou Ping bent his waist deeper.
"Mr. Xu, I know you are not troubled. Cao will see you on your behalf!" Kun left Zeng Xuan behind in despair.
Seeing Cao Yi and his group gradually moving away, Gou Ping's hunched waist gradually stretched out and waved his hand. The two eunuchs stood up, helped Zeng Xuan up, and entered the side hall.
"Mr. Xu, you never dreamed that today would be there, right?" Looking at Xu Enmao who was lying on the chair, Gou Ping sighed: "You probably don't know yet that the Fourth Master has long been loyal to Weizhou. His Majesty the Emperor went out of Shangjing and entered Weizhou to take a step closer to the Hall of Hell. Cao Gong has already controlled Shangwang and will not send another grain to the front line, and there will not be a knife and arrow to go out of Shangjing again. Your Majesty is already a strong army in front, and the world's No. 1 hero in the world, and will not be able to advance or retreat, and you will be defeated!"
Xu Enmao looked at Gou Ping angrily, gasping for breath, but couldn't speak.
"For the past few years, if Your Majesty had not neglected the darkroom, if it weren't for you, Lord Xu, who had been deliberately suppressing our darkroom, causing the network of the darkroom to be completely lost, killed and bribed, how could we not have heard of the collusion between the Fourth Master and Cheng Qun? General Xue would not be defeated, and there would be no such thing as today! Lord Xue was defeated by Tongzhou, and everything was destined and he would never be able to turn the world back. Weizhou, Luzhou and other places secretly surrendered to the Fourth Master one after another, and the uncle had already lost!"
"You won't have a good ending!" Xu Enmao looked at Gou Ping with anger in his eyes, "Gou Ping, do you eunuchs think you will have a good ending if you surrender to Cao Yi? Hehe, don't forget that he will force you to die for the rest of your life, and wait until your darkroom is completely destroyed."
Gou Ping walked a few turns, "So, our dark room won't sit and wait for death!" He turned to look at the row of eunuchs behind him, "You go! According to the previous arrangement, they all disappeared until they received my order."
"As for orders, general manager!" The row of eunuchs following Gou Ping quickly turned around and disappeared in "Someone is a fool!
"Gou Ping looked at Xu Enmao.
Xu Enmao stared at Gou Ping for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Cao Yi thought everything was in his hands, but she didn't want to have such a variable as you. Gou Ping, I underestimated you, why don't you leave, what else do you want to do?"
"It's not that Gou Ping, I have any ability, but that Gou Jing's arrangements before his death!" Gou Ping smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, I will naturally have to get something."
Xu Enmao changed color slightly, "What do you want?"
"Mr. Cao thought that, but I knew that "that thing is given to you. If I stayed, I naturally wanted to take it away. Whether my darkroom can be reborn in the future is all counting on this thing to be sold for a good price!"
Xu Enzeng looked at Gou Ping, "Who do you want to sell to?"
"It's not the Fourth Master!" Gou Ping smiled. "As Lord Xu, you said, the Fourth Master must be willing to destroy us, so I will naturally not fall into the trap."
"I understand, I understand, as today's great, there seems to be only one place to accommodate you. Good, great, I'll give you something, but I beg you for one thing."
"Please say it, Lord Xu!"
"I took the thing, and when you leave, give me a knife, and you need to be the kind that is so refreshing!"
