When Jiao Fang returned to the cabinet again after taking three days off, although Li Dongyang and him had been colleagues for decades, he was still frightened in his heart when he was in a state of dismay that he had never seen on his face before. He was also considered the person involved. However, when Xu Xun recognized that his head was burnt yellow and smiled and said that he wanted to drive the person away for him to avoid the problem of being misleading, he never expected that such a result would develop.

Xu Xun was so sharp and unreasonable, and he scolded Jiaohuangzhong so much that he couldn't afford to take it. At least he would definitely delay the test next year! He almost forgot that when he and Liu Jian and Xie Qian planned to force the palace, the young Pingbei Hou suddenly came out and messed up their seamless plan, so that Liu Jian and Xie Qian had to ask for it sadly, and the one who stayed could only endure humiliation and bet on the heavy side!

However, compared to Jiao Fang's absence, what he had to face was the resignation submitted by Wang Yang for the second time. When the Wenhua Palace talked about this day, when everyone else retreated, he could not help but report the matter. Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor, frowned in displeasure, then waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Since I have tried to keep it three times, he still wants to leave, so let him go. But now there are only two left in the cabinet, Mr. Li and Jiao Fang. Let me recommend a few more candidates. I will see who is suitable."

Li Dongyang looked up at Liu Jin who was standing beside the emperor, took a deep breath and bowed to respond, "I obey the order."

However, when Li Dongyang left Wenhua Hall and returned straight back to Wenyuan Pavilion, he was stopped. The little eunuch said with a smile: "Please wait for a moment, and Eunuch Liu will come in a while."

Li Dongyang stopped in shock. Seeing a stool behind him carrying Liu Jin over quickly, he immediately thought about Liu Jin's purpose. Before he could confirm, the stool arrived in front of him, but Liu Jin didn't get down, so he sat up high and nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Li. You must know the purpose of our family's visit. We know that there must be three or five candidates for this court to behave like this. It's not our business that you want to add, but our family doesn't want to see Yang Tinghe's name. If there is his name, then don't blame our family for being rude!"

This naked threat made Li Dongyang's expression change suddenly. If it were Liu Jian and Xie Qian, he would be afraid that he would not have clashed with Liu Jin on the spot. However, he had always been a very tolerant person. His hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, then let go, and then clenched. Finally, he whispered: "Don't worry, Eunuch Liu."

"That's good." Liu Jin nodded proudly, and then he said lightly as if he knew it. "Our family also knows that Wenyuan Pavilion is busy, and you and Jiao Fang are too busy, so they plan to choose two capable people to help you. Well, our family knows that Mr. Li has always been a busy person, so we won't disturb you!"

Although Xu Xun also told him that the position of chief minister of the cabinet belonged to Yang Yiqing rather than Yang Tinghe, the opportunity was right in front of him. Li Dongyang originally wanted to try it out. He transferred Yang Tinghe back to the capital first, but who knew that Liu Jin's reaction was so arbitrary. When he entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he saw that Wang Yang's straight room was empty, and he thought that this person was also one of the people who accompanied Fuque back then. Later, the court pushed into the cabinet and tried to fight against Liu Jin. He fought repeatedly. Now he finally couldn't stand it. He left him alone to fight alone, and sighed immediately. Then, he heard Jiao Fang's voice coming from behind.

"Yuan Fu is regretting Shouxi? He is the kind of person. If he is in harmony, he will stay or not, he will leave. Since he is unwilling to stay, what can you sigh about?"

Li Dongyang suddenly turned around and thought that although Jiao Fang had a bad reputation in the past, the two of them were still dating, and even exchanged news and planned together when others knew nothing. Now they were strangers. Jiao Fang even secretly planned to be the position of his assistant. His eyes gradually became cold. Until he saw Jiao Fang's expression was extremely unnatural, he said lightly: "Brother Shoujing, a good scholar, learned that Wang Shouxi had indeed resigned, and the emperor was also allowed, and ordered him to come to the Japanese court to promote it. But just like you, the emperor, you should have the right person to push it into the cabinet. I believe you will have more powerful arms in the future."

After saying this, he couldn't see what subsequent reaction would appear from Jiao Fang, who was full of dull face. He smiled coldly and then left.

Jiao Fang, the era when you are regarded as your confidant by Liu Jin is over!

Although Jiao Fang knew that when he was expelled from Liu Jin's mansion that day, he had to come out in a mess, Liu Jin had already known that Liu Jin's trust in him was much worse than before, but he was qualified and talented after all, and now he is the second assistant in the cabinet. He has defeated Wang Xing. As long as he could squeeze out Li Dongyang and occupy the position of chief assistant, Liu Jin would definitely see that he became chief assistant and had the ability to make drastic moves. But the news revealed by Li Dongyang at this time was like a blow to him. He didn't even know how he went straight to the straight room, how he faced all kinds of memorials, and how he endured the time for the straight.

The next day was his rest. In the past, because he was over 70 years old, this rare day rest was a chance to take a breath, but now it is different. He knew deeply that if he could not use this day rest to turn the situation around, even if he could still win the reputation of a second-level cabinet, he would definitely not be able to kill Zhang Cai, who had shown his strength these days! If this person entered the cabinet, could he still have a way out? So after leaving the palace, he didn't have time to see his son at home. The first thing he did was to visit Cao Yuan, the Minister of War.

He had no friendship with Cao Yuan, but he knew very well that he must be afraid of Zhang Cai, who had firmly sat firmly beside Liu Jin at first, and Cao Yuan, who was also strong in his youth. Therefore, after the test of the beginning of the night, he had to start to complain, and every word was directed towards Zhang Cai's intention. However, to his surprise, Cao Yuan finally gave him a helpless answer that made him lose all his mind.

"Brother Shoujing, you are useless to tell me about this. You know Eunuch Liu's character better than us. I'll tell you that Zhang Xilu is not good, it would be strange if you don't get spit on your face. To be honest, Zhang Xilu is capable. How long ago was he still a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, but now those officials who were on par with him are now reporting things in front of him, but he can be as safe as if no one else. During the time when Old Lin Han was ill, he had done all the things that the Secretary of the Shangshu should do. Now he can't even get into the legitimate Secretary of the Shangshu. This is his ability! Alas. I don't want to provoke him!"

Cao Yuan said this, but he knew very well what Jiao Fang had done when he was frustrated in front of Liu Jin that night. Not to mention that he would not want to be disgraceful like Jiao Fang, but he said that Zhang Cai could give up the position of Minister of Personnel, so Liu Yu was able to redeem the Heavenly Office, and he received the Seal of the Ministry of War. No matter how he said that he had to thank Zhang Cai for his noble character. As for Jiao Fang's encounter with the wall and Liu Yu's puppet, what's going on with him?

Since Cao Yuan said that, even if Jiao Fang was angry, he would not be able to continue to lie. He immediately said goodbye to the Cao family and headed straight to the Liu Mansion in the next journey. He thought Cao Yuan was the hardest bone to crack, but Liu Yu was completely undermined by Zhang Cai in the Ministry of Personnel. In addition, the head of the Ministry of War, Wuxuan, those officers were richer than civil officials. Now that he has lost both people and wealth, he must have been full of anger. As long as he teased a little, he could stand on the same front as him. However, when he had been talking for a while and carefully led the topic to Zhang Cai, he saw Liu Yu suddenly stretching out his hand to stop him.

"Hey, Brother Shoujing, I know you have prejudices against Zhang Xilu. I misunderstood him in the past, but now I finally understand that he is still very kind!" Liu Yu was shocked when he saw Jiao Fang. He completely forgot that he had tried to slander Zhang Cai in front of Liu Jin, and wanted to scold Zhang Cai in front of others. But at this moment, he got the confidence from the Silijian that he was full of spring. "Zhang Xilu is a man who is arrogant because of his talent, but he does have real talent and knowledge. No wonder Eunuch Liu loves and respects so much. Besides, he is in his prime. Brother Shoujing, it is really boring to offend him. You should rather bear the white-headed man and not bully the young man's poor. This statement has been fully confirmed in Xu Xun. Now Zhang Xilu is the same. You should make up with him."

When he walked out of the Liu family, Jiao Fang felt that he was a little tucked. Liu Yu and Cao Yuan were not intimate with him, and he knew that this was not very good. However, facing Zhang Cai, a person who might have taken away their status, the two of them acted so indifferently and short-sighted, which made him extremely disappointed. Although Liu Yu or Cao Yuan were not amazing characters, they were not completely mediocre after all. How could they act like this this time?

"Master." Although the young master at home was still sick in bed, he saw Jiao Fang's mood was wrong these days, and Ang Lee came to pick him up in person when he was in a hurry. At this moment, seeing the master's tired and disappointed look, he glanced at the sky and reminded softly, "It's all a missed dinner time. Have you been in the sedan chair and returned home?"

"Go back to the house?" Jiao Fang raised his eyebrows. When he thought of his son who could not even speak clearly on the bed, his daughter-in-law who could not even speak, and his deserted and empty house, he suddenly didn't want to go back at all. At that moment, he regretted that after entering the pavilion, he ordered people to rebuild their ancestral home in his hometown of Biyang, Henan, and let his grandchildren move over. But now he regrets that no one at home is talking, but it's too late. After taking a deep breath, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Please carry the sedan chair back and let someone prepare a carriage and horse in the mutton alley. Follow me to go first, I want to find a clean place to have a drink there!"

Despite his willingness to object, seeing Jiao Fang's unquestionable look, Ang Lee thought about it over and over again, and finally agreed. However, his hand reached his waist and took out a waist card that was universal to the Xicheng Bingma Si.

Although the night ban had passed, Jiao Fang took Ang Lee to the mutton alley outside the alleys, and encountered two inspections along the way, because of Ang Lee's waist-baring signs, both groups of people naturally released them respectfully. When he arrived at the mutton alley, several stores were close to closing, some were putting on door panels, and some were packing signs. When Ang Lee followed Jiao Fang's wishes and went in, the last stay-behind friend had already spoken out, but seeing a ingot of silver worth two or three taels of silver placed on the counter, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Customer, what do you want?"

"Half a pound of white cut mutton, a pot of wine!"

"How can half a pound of mutton be enough for a pot of wine? Two pounds of mutton be brought and a jar of unopened wine!"

With this sudden sound, Jiao Fang was stunned at first. When he looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted - because at this moment, he suddenly saw a person he didn't want to see the least. However, things went against his wishes, and the other party went straight forward with a smile and sat down opposite him.

"Why, Mr. Jiao Ge, aren't we welcome me, an uninvited guest?"

The guy originally wanted to come up to greet him, but when he heard this title, his face turned green for a moment, and he didn't know whether he should go in or backward. At this moment, a big man with a follower outside entered the shop, pulled the guy and whispered a few words, and showed a deep awe when he saw someone. The big man walked to Ang Lee again, and said lightly: "Brother, my marquis has something to say to Mr. Jiao Ge, you should avoid it first!"

"But……"

Ang Lee has followed Jiao Fang for many years, and I don’t know how many secret matters have been done, among which Xu Xun is designed. At this moment, he instinctively feared that Xu Xun would be unfavorable to his master, but facing the cold gaze of the man, he glanced at Xu Xun, who was calm and calm. He looked at Jiao Fang with a cramp in his calves, but saw that his master was just staring at Xu Xun, without any reaction to his gaze. Therefore, he hesitated and he finally walked out with his fate.

Soon, the man gave a large pot of white mutton and a knife to cut the meat, and then brought a jar of wine. After he respectfully bowed, he tiptoed and carefully slipped back to the kitchen, giving the huge place to the two nobles with great backgrounds in front.

However, there was a silence in the store. It was not until the unspeakable stiff atmosphere lasted for a long time that Jiao Fang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Pingbei is indeed well-known in his ears and eyes, and he can actually follow him to such a place!"

"It's rare to see the arrogant and intelligent old man Jiao Ge, who is so embarrassed, and such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could I miss it?" Xu Xun raised his eyebrows with a smile, and said slowly, "Looking at you who are full of expectations to go to the Liu Mansion to be a wake-up call for Eunuch Liu, watching you run around Liu Yu and Cao Yuan's house, hoping to arouse the thought of sharing the same hatred for the enemy, and watching you come here to drink in a daze, it would be fine if I don't know, but since I have seen it, I told me that I didn't come? Mr. Jiao Ge, if I remember correctly, the person who encouraged Eunuch Liu to dig out my corner was you? You are all asking for your own sake today!"
