This time, Han Yu spoke very directly, without any of the roundabout ways he had before. Perhaps it was because the relationship between the two of them was already established.
After all, after this cooperation, the two of them can be considered as accomplices.
Looking up at Han Yu, Liu Yijing's lips curled up in a mocking tone, and he said coldly, "Will they let me go? Unless we listen to them, there's no hope."
Han Yu didn't refute Liu Yijing's words because it was meaningless. He had been forced onto the pirate ship by Liu Yijing in the first place, and it was impossible for him to get off now.
If I go out and tell Gao Panlong and the others that I was forced to do it, will they believe it?
Before this, Gao Panlong and the others didn’t believe in me, let alone after experiencing this incident?
So this idea was immediately dismissed from Han Yu's mind. No matter what, he would go all the way this time.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Liu Yijing calmed down a little, put the thoughts expressed on his face back into his stomach, and then asked.
In fact, the memorial regarding this matter had already been sent to the palace, and His Majesty had probably already reviewed it. Now the two were trying to figure out how to deal with His Majesty's next reaction.
Although everyone said on the surface that they would not try to guess the emperor's thoughts, in fact everyone wanted to see what the emperor was thinking at a glance.
To this end, they studied the emperor's logical behavior to determine what he would do next. In addition, they bribed the eunuchs in the palace to gather information for them.
These civil servants tried every possible means to spy on the emperor's thoughts, and they used every possible means.
Many times, many of the things they say are just superficial talk. Anyone who really believes it is a fool.
Now Han Yu and Liu Yijing are actually trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts, but they just can't say it out loud.
After hearing Liu Yijing's question, Han Yu's expression remained unchanged. He gently put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Lord, in fact, anything we say here is just groundless worry. We are waiting for His Majesty's opinion."
"I know this too." Liu Yijing said helplessly.
Liu Yijing sighed softly, and after a while he said, "We have no one in the palace!"
In fact, both Liu Yijing and the other knew how important it was for a civil servant to have someone of their own in the imperial palace.
Basically, every cabinet minister has a eunuch in the palace who is on good terms with him to pass on information in a timely manner.
The Donglin Party's capabilities were beyond doubt. They directly approached Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, and clung to the most powerful person in the palace.
Wang An was still able to spread the news that no one else knew at the first time. What was this?
This is fate!
You have to know how important intelligence is. Even if it is the same report, it will be really different if it is released an hour earlier or an hour later.
"We're afraid we can't find the right eunuch in the palace," Han Yu said hesitantly.
Han Yu had naturally thought of what Liu Yijing had come up with long ago. He had a deeper understanding of the Donglin Party than Liu Yijing did, and of course he knew the benefits of doing so.
But this kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight.
If the father-in-law is not on the same page as you, he may betray you in the end; if the father-in-law is incompetent, he may do the wrong thing.
Therefore, one must be cautious when making friends with eunuchs, and there are currently three powerful eunuchs in the court.
One of them was Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department who was on good terms with the Donglin Party.
The other was Wei Zhongxian, the top-ranking eunuch in the Imperial Household Department and the official in charge of the Eastern Depot. He held a high position of power and was deeply favored by His Majesty.
But neither Liu Yijing nor the other thought about him. When Wei Zhongxian dealt with the Donglin Party, he was ruthless and cruel.
Although Liu Yijing and Liu Yijing also stepped on the Donglin Party, the situation was different. Not all the time, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
If the two of them joined forces with Wei Zhongxian, many of their subordinates would surely betray them, which would be a loss.
So naturally, the two of them cannot consider Wei Zhongxian, so there is only one person left.
The eunuch who served His Majesty the longest was Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.
This person seemed to be the most suitable candidate, but he was very favored by His Majesty and rarely asked for favors from outsiders. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Can I have some contact with Eunuch Chen?" Liu Yijing raised his head and asked hesitantly.
Han Yu had already guessed that Liu Yijing would mention Chen Hong.
Han Yu had no objection to Chen Hong as a candidate, but he had no idea how to contact Chen Hong.
Glancing at Liu Yijing, Han Yu asked directly, "Does the Lord have any solution?"
"What good solution is there for this kind of thing?" Liu Yijing said with a wry smile, "It's nothing more than appealing to their emotions and appealing to their interests."
Han Yu nodded gently. That's true, but it's easier said than done.
Seeing Han Yu's hesitation, Liu Yijing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's actually not as difficult as we think. Think about it carefully. Eunuch Chen doesn't have anyone in the palace to support him. Whether it's Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, or Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department and the chief eunuch in charge of the Eastern Depot, both of them hold much higher positions than him."
"At the same time, Wang An has the Donglin Party as external support. Although Wei Zhongxian has no external support, he has also started to recruit people these days, and many people have come to join him."
"Although Eunuch Chen in the palace enjoys His Majesty's trust, he is still somewhat weak. Facing Wang An and Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Chen Hong is probably under great pressure. If we form an alliance with him as external aid, I think he would be willing."
Looking at Liu Yijing's expression and listening to his firm tone, Han Yu didn't say anything.
Han Yu had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as Liu Yijing said. However, Liu Yijing was in high spirits at the moment, and he had no way of convincing him.
The two people reached a consensus on this matter and prepared to contact Chen Hong first.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside and reported that Chen Hong, the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department, had arrived.
Liu Yijing and the others were stunned. Could it be that he was sleepy and someone sent him a pillow?
However, the two men did not dare to delay their business. Chen Hong must have something to do when he came here, otherwise he would not come.
Soon Liu Yijing and his companion met Chen Hong.
Seeing Chen Hong's serious expression, Han Yu and Liu Yijing looked at each other, both knowing that this matter was probably no small matter.
Sure enough, Chen Hong took out an imperial edict.
Seeing this, the two were even more surprised.
You should know that His Majesty usually gives oral instructions and rarely uses imperial decrees.
