Chapter 1358: Rage

Walking into the emperor's huge imperial study, Guo Xiancheng couldn't help but feel a little scared. The ground was full of memorials. Among the piles of broken porcelain pieces in the corner of the wall, a tiger paperweight shone with a faint light. At a glance, you could tell that his Majesty was furious and threw out the tiger paperweight and smashed the porcelain.

Compared to Guo Xiancheng's secret fear, Tian Fen sighed silently. The emperors in the past were not like this. They had always been indifferent to their emotions and felt that the mountains, rivers and ravines were all in one hand, but Cao Yun's problem obviously made His Majesty lose his normal state.

He squatted down calmly and picked up the memorials scattered on the ground one by one. Seeing Tian Fen's actions, Guo Xiancheng quickly squatted down to help Tian Fen clean up. He took this opportunity to take a few glances, and his heart suddenly became cold. All of these memorials asked the emperor to rescue His Highness the Prince immediately.

Guo Xiancheng had the same idea before, but Tian Fen's statement made him suddenly recall the fact that the more people submit such a note, the more he was, the more angry the emperor would be. He and the marshal of the Grand Qi, and he was the former confidant general of His Royal Highness. Once he submitted such a note, he was afraid that His Royal Highness would be in trouble before he came back.

As soon as I thought about this, I couldn't help but sweat.

He handed the packed note to Tian Fen. At this time, only Tian Fen, who was closest to the emperor, could speak well. As for himself, it would be better not to get in there first.

Putting a thick stack of memorials gently on the big case, Tian Fen smiled and said, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

Cao Tiancheng glanced at Tian Fen, and the next moment, his eyes fell on Guo Xiancheng, "Why haven't I seen Guo Shuai's memorial?"

Guo Xiancheng's head suddenly dropped. He had a note, so he put it in his arms. However, he became more conscientious and went to see Tian Fen first. Now, he naturally won't take out this note.

"Your Majesty has properly settled the affairs of His Highness, and I dare not speak nonsense." He whispered.

Cao Tiancheng looked at him for a while and laughed. Guo Xiancheng could hear from the gritting laughter that the emperor still felt a little relaxed. But for a moment, the emperor picked up a memorial that was still spread out in front of him and threw it to Guo Xiancheng angrily.

"Okay, you're aware of it. Then look at the Xian Bisong, who you highly recommend, is loyal to me with your life. What's going on?"

Guo Xiancheng's heart sank. It turns out that it was Fresh Bisong. I'm afraid that in the emperor's heart, Fresh Bisong is more important than himself now. Although he is called the Grand Marshal, he is actually just a nominal person. He is in Chang'an, and he has no soldiers or generals. However, Fresh Bisong is in charge of several counties and has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. This year, in order to prepare for the war against the Ming Dynasty, Changning County and other places have gathered countless weapons and food.

He opened the memorial, looked at the sound of the fresh pine, looked at it, swallowed with a gurgle, but didn't know how to deal with it.

Tian Fen took the note from Guo Xiancheng, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is the noble of the Emperor of the Great Qi. It is said that he has been held by the Ming people. Generals like Xian Bisong who have been confronting the Ming people for a long time are angry. This is a natural reason. This is slapping my face in the face! These generals are so worried about the country, Your Majesty should be happy."

"Is that right?" Cao Xiancheng laughed dryly, but his anger was not diminished at all. Since he deprived Cao Yun of his military command and kept him idle aside and raised him high, he has been working hard to reduce his influence in the court in recent years. But this time, he suddenly realized that there were so many people who were hidden and uncovered. When he remembered Cao Hui's plans to inquire about the wealthy families, he felt a little colder.

It is indeed difficult for a wealthy family to become a great climate. I am unwilling to kill suddenly, but I am only afraid of hurting the vitality of Daqi, especially in the current situation of Ming Dynasty eyeing him. But if they have the blessing of powerful figures like Cao Yun in the court, the situation will be very different.

Although this worry was already a little weak after being relieved by Tian Fen, it did not mean that he was relieved. Cao Hui offered this strategy of killing two birds with one stone. One was to get the secret of the Ming Dynasty's naval commander, and the other was to test the reaction of the court. However, after testing, he was shocked.

Tian Fen quickly finished reading Xian Bisong’s memorial. After reading it, he also breathed a sigh of relief: “Your Majesty, Xian Bisong is still loyal to you.”

"Loyal to me? How dare you submit such a memorial?"

"Your Majesty, the Prince's trip to Ming Kingdom is the face of Qi Kingdom. If such a thing happens, if Xian Bisong doesn't say a word, it will make people object. Did Your Majesty not notice the seal of Xian Bisong's memorial?"

"Hmm?" Cao Tiancheng really didn't pay attention to this. After receiving the note from Xian Bisong, he got angry.

"Xianbisong is stamped with a private seal, not an official seal!" Tian Fen smiled and said, "Your Majesty naturally knows the distinction here. And from this note, it can be seen that Xianbisong's way of dealing with some things is quite safe. The Ming people have ulterior motives and wish our army would be in chaos, but Xianbisong makes the army above the border as stable as Mount Tai. Your Majesty, you should reward such a general."

"Don't think about commending him! If he really doesn't have any selfish thoughts, then this memorial shouldn't have appeared in front of me." After carefully looking at the signature and seal of Xian Bisong, Cao Tiancheng's face relaxed a little.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all emperor's kindness. Your Majesty's order will let him train troops with peace of mind and prepare for the war with all his might." Tian Fen said with a smile.

Cao Tiancheng pondered for a moment and looked at Guo Xiancheng and said, "Although this matter is not clear, there are turbulent waves in the dark. Guo Qing, you go out of the capital and inspect the troops of each county. First, you come to inspect the military equipment, and second, you must also calm the hearts of each army. What should be withdrawn, what should be replaced, and what should be promoted."

Guo Xiancheng knew that this was going to carry out another round of cleaning in the army. Fortunately, he handed over this power to his own hands, which was considered a buffer room.

"I obey the order." Guo Xiancheng bowed to accept the order, "The army of the Great Qi will always be loyal to His Majesty."

"Yes!" Cao Tiancheng was still very satisfied with Guo Xiancheng's statement. "You will go and prepare. There will be decrees and corresponding ceremonial guards delivered to your mansion in the future."

The so-called will is naturally the emperor who wants to liquidate this time and those who are about to appoint. The emperor wants to take this opportunity to hold the army more tightly in his hands. Xian Bisong is smart this time and has escaped a disaster, but many of his confidants and subordinates are afraid that many of his confidants will be transferred away this time. Guo Xiancheng has already realized this.

"Yes, I will go back and prepare."

When Guo Xiancheng left, Cao Tiancheng's expression finally calmed down a lot. He pointed to a chair on the side of the big case, "Sit down and talk."

When Tian Fen sat down, Cao Tiancheng said quietly: "Sincere assistant, do you really think there is no problem with Xian Bisong?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee it." Tian Fen did not hesitate at all on this issue. The generals who can fight in Da Qi now counted over and over again. Another person was either from Cao Yun's command or Zhou Jiyun, who is now regarded as a major trouble by the court, was also trained by Cao Yun. If the other person is not a change of soup or a medicine, more importantly, if the emperor is suspicious and replaces some generals who are ignorant of the formation to command the troops, it would be a real disaster for Da Qi. Judging from Xian Bisong's response this time, it is still appropriate. This person is more sleeker than Guo Xiancheng. "Although Guo Xiancheng and Xian Bisong are all from the tent of His Highness the Prince, their loyalty to His Majesty can stand the test."

Cao Tiancheng nodded slightly, "This time Cao Hui's plan is a touchstone. Many people finally couldn't help but jump out. A few of them really surprised me. But now when I think about it, I'm still a little too hasty."

Tian Fen was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, Cao Hui thinks he can really exchange Ning Zhiwen for the navy from the Ming Kingdom?"

"I have talked with Cao Hui in detail. This time, he is determined to win." Cao Tiancheng nodded: "But there is one thing that the chief minister may not know. What he wants is not the core art of the navy of the Ming Kingdom. With our current foundation in Daqi, even if the Ming people huddled the shipbuilding technique with both hands, we can build a warship in a short time?"

"Then what exactly does he want?"

"Human!" Cao Tiancheng was a little proud. This time, even Tian Fen was stumped. "What he wanted was a human."

"How could the Ming Kingdom give us technical talents?" Tian Fen shook his head repeatedly.

"Hahaha!" Cao Tiancheng laughed: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, but the chief minister allows me to keep it a secret. You will always be surprised for a day. The only thing I am worried about now is, if such a stalemate continues, will Cao Yun really feel resentful to me and think that I want to kill someone with a knife and kill him?"

Tian Fen thought to himself, maybe this is one of the results His Majesty wants. If you don’t want what you want, it will be a great reward for the Ming Dynasty to kill Cao Yun. In this way, Cao Yun’s subordinates will only pour more anger on the Ming people, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"If Your Highness the Prince really becomes suspicious of Your Majesty, then we might as well set a plan here." After thinking for a long time, Tian Fen said: "When the Prince returns, I will meet him. Even if Your Highness has no complaints to you, I will make him feel disgusted with Your Majesty."

"What are these words?" Cao Xiancheng was very surprised.
