Song Nan stood for a long time, thinking about it, and vaguely understood the intention of Kang Ning's personal visit to congratulate him. Originally, this trip to the public and private princess seemed abrupt. If she had to find an appropriate reason, it could only be said that it was the friendship between the princess of the inner palace and the princess of the country.

Song Nan knew that the little princess and Princess Corning were just acquaintances. They didn't have a deep friendship, and they didn't have to personally come to congratulate the little princess on their marriage. The arrival of Corning today is thought-provoking. Corning obviously knows something that has happened recently, including some of the emperor's dissatisfaction with himself and some of Liu Jin's words in front of the emperor.

Corning is a smart woman. She knew that Song Nan was under great pressure at this time, and this time she came to congratulate her marriage in person. First, she comforted and questioned him, and second, she was afraid that she would publicly show that Song Nan had not fallen out of favor in the royal mind. Song Nan could even conclude that Corning's arrival was approved by Zhengde. Otherwise, as a royal princess, it is impossible to attend the wedding of foreign ministers.

In a word, this wedding at least found some clues. After he stopped pursuing Maang's case and changed his attitude towards the inner court from confrontation to cooperation, Zhengde obviously changed his attitude towards himself. Today, Zhengde fulfilled his promise to send plaques to congratulate him and allowed the princess to come. A subtle hint.

Song Nan understands Zhengde. In the past few days, Song Nan has carefully considered the causes and consequences and basically came to some conclusions. Zhengde is essentially a good man and a good man who is affectionate. The reason why he has some strange behaviors is that on the one hand, he is unwilling to resist in his character, and on the other hand, he is the instigated and seduced by Liu Jin. Zhengde is still close to himself.

If it hadn't been for the recent high-profile behavior and almost breaking Zhengde's bottom line, which put him in danger of being exposed to the criticism of foreign ministers, Zhengde would not have agreed with Liu Jin's suggestion, and he would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

My low-key behavior and deliberate swallowing anger, all of this not only confuses Liu Jin for the implementation of the plan, but also to win Zhengde's sympathy. Today's wedding is a touchstone. If Zhengde does not come to congratulate him, it means that he still has not changed his own way, and since the gifts and plaques he sent, It shows that the plan has worked, which is exactly what Song Nan expected to see.

Now what Song Nan can do is hide behind the scenes. In the opening, her role has been completed. The key to the next plan is to watch another person's performance. This person is Zhang Yong, the eunuch, the leader of the imperial court, is the key figure of this plan.

......

In the southeast of the Taiye Pool outside Xihuamen, the public house of the imperial prison is here. The environment is quiet and rare. Except for the local eunuch maids on duty, there are few outsiders here. The clean environment is certainly good, but it also shows the status of the royal supervisor in the inner court. Some of the 24 prisons are very popular, some are short of oil, water and fertilizer, and some have no power, but it is better to be able to serve the emperor and be familiar with each other. The royal supervisor can hardly touch these items, and there are still some oil and water, but it can't be regarded as lack of fat. It can only be said that compared with some internal supervisors with clear soup and water. Obviously, if it is useless, Liu Jin will allocate Zhang Yongfa here, and I'm afraid he can't get through it.

For Zhang Yong, since he came to serve as a royal supervisor, he has been in a situation like a concubine who was put into the cold palace. In those years, he served the prince with Liu Jin and others, hoping that after the prince ascended the throne, he would have the opportunity to win the power of the inner court, but unfortunately, compared with Liu Jin, he is really Too tender. They pulled several other people early and put people in the outer court, which can be said to be well planned.

Zhang Yong is not Liu Jin's opponent in terms of means and personality, but he has a bit of a donkey temper. Relying on an equal footing with Liu Jin, he does not like Liu Jin. After knocking down Wang Yue Fan Heng, he was kicked by Liu Jin to supervise the cold palace when he rewarded cakes for his achievements.

Zhang Yong was naturally unwilling and said something in front of Zhengde, but among the eight tigers, except for Zhang Yong, they had been closely united around Liu Jin. In front of Zhengde, Qiu Jugaofeng and others unanimously gave Zhang Yong some bad evaluations, which made Zhengde's impression of Zhang Yong plummet. Finally, Zhang Yong chose not to stay without noise or noisy. Royal prison, because if it continues to make trouble, I'm afraid I can't even keep this position.

In any case, Zhang Yong held a fire in his heart. How could he be willing to be trampled by Liu Jin, not to mention being bullied by Liu Jin and several other guys, which was not tolerable. In the imperial prison, Zhang Yong did not stop speculing and judging the situation for a moment. Seeing that Liu Jin's power was getting stronger and bigger, it also attracted the opposition of all forces. Then even Song Nan, who had always cooperated with Liu Jin, was offended. The conflict between the two was no longer concealed. Zhang Yong felt that the opportunity had come. In terms of choosing the object of cooperation, Zhang Yong believes that Song Nan is the best candidate. The outer court and Xunqi will obviously not treat him, and since Song Nan and Liu Jin have a bad relationship, he obviously needs people like him to cooperate with him in the inner court.

More importantly, Zhang Yong understands Song Nan's ability. Along the way, others may not be able to see Song Nan's ability. Zhang Yong has been silently looking at everything. Liu Jin can have today, and Song Nan's help has played a great role. This person is the best opportunity to turn over.

For this reason, Zhang Yong chose the opportunity for Liu Jin to reopen the West Factory, gave this news to Song Nan as a gift, and then proposed a cooperative relationship with Song Nan. He knew that he needed Song Nan, and at this time, Song Nan also absolutely needed him.

Sure enough, at the end of the conversation, Song Nan clearly expressed his willingness to cooperate. Zhang Yong did not doubt the sincerity of the alliance between himself and Song Nan. In the current situation, both of them are on the verge of drowning, and the alliance is the most stable in this situation.

I have to say that Zhang Yong was a little disappointed that Song Nan failed to prevent the reopening of the West Factory and the emergence of an internal factory, but that night, Wan Zhi took him to meet Song Nan again. Song Nan said a plan that made him stunned, all of which was intended by Song Nan.

Zhang Yong first had a skeptical attitude towards Song Nan's plan, but after Song Nan's detailed analysis of the whole plan, Zhang Yong had to admit that Song Nan was more than several times smarter than himself. Although he was not from the inner court, Song Nan's analysis of the situation of the inner court was more accurate than himself, especially in the grasp of people's hearts. Song Nan is like a roundworm drilled into a human stomach, which is scary to think about.

Zhang Yongqing is glad that he can finally partner with Song Nan, but the difficult part of the whole plan lies in how he stirs up the storm in the inner court and incites the subtle weaknesses in people's hearts. In summary, the essence of Song Nan's plan is nothing more than to make the inner court self-distured. Song Nan said very vividly: two pieces of fat meat are thrown into the group of vicious dogs, which is inevitable to cause looting and biting. This kind of bite is often a battle of life. When the flesh and blood of their bite is blurred, the dog's owner will inevitably come out to drink and punish. At that time, even if the dogs stop fighting, they will not be as good as before.

Zhang Yong fully understands this point. Just like in the division of the internal court after defeating Fan Heng and Wang Yue, although he did not get any benefits, even Gao Fengqiu and Wei Bin around Liu Jin secretly had their own remarks, and there was never absolute equality in the division of stolen goods. Even if they belonged to the same group, dear There are still subtle differences between sparse, which creates differences in distribution and becomes a hidden flashpoint.

In the past seven or eight days, Zhang Yong has racked his brains to draw up a list of internal eunuchs. After layers of screening, there are only five people left in the list of dozens of people. One is Ma Yongcheng of the internal carrier warehouse, and the other is Gao Feng, the secretary. These two are both former brothers, but they have not been with themselves. It's just on one road; the other three, one is Zhang Zhong, the eunuch of the imperial horse, one is Zhang Rui, the eunuch of Si Li, and the other is Qian Ning, the second stall of Dongchang.

These three are all rising stars in the inner court. They are all the core subordinates of Liu Jin's new cultivation, and they all have a common job. That is, they work in the Xiyuan Leopard House, and their relationship with the emperor is also extremely familiar.

In order to be cautious, Zhang Yong came out of the palace and studied this list with Song Nan for several hours, and finally decided on a breakthrough. The two agreed that they wanted to stir up the inner court, starting with the three chiefs and deputy chiefs of the leopard room.

Taiye poolside, in the sunny royal prison courtyard, Zhang Yong sat in the sun and drank hot tea slowly. There was the sound of horseshoes outside the courtyard door, which was also mixed with the jingle of copper bells on the horse's neck. Zhang Yong knew that it was a carriage sent by the leopard house to take things. Every other day, Zhang Zhong, deputy director of the leopard house, would bring people to take the things needed in the leopard room. These royal things need to be pulled out from the library without exception.

At the gate of the courtyard, the black, thin and lean Zhang Zhong came slowly. Two little eunuchs followed him, and several leopard maids and a carriage also appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
