Lu Zhixing knew that Xiao Huairen had something to say, so he asked: "Since Brother Xiao has found me, it must not be without purpose, it seems that it is a useful place to get me." ”

Xiao Huairen squinted his eyes and smiled: "Where is it, Brother Lu is indifferent to fame and fortune, I admire it tightly in my heart, but I really need your help at the moment, please take me into the bamboo court once." ”

Lu Zhixing looked at him a little strangely, the bamboo courtyard is an elegant courtyard full of bamboo in the second prince's mansion, but unlike ordinary courtyards, this is also a place where the second prince and the backbone of the Song Party discuss important matters, and it can also be said to be the center of the entire Second Prince Party. As a courtier in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Huairen himself is not from the Song Party, so of course he is not qualified to enter.

But Lu Zhixing is different, he is one of the backbones of the Song Party, at the beginning of the Song Party several people compiled a set of plans, but also the policy of the children of the Song School, this plan is known as the "New Book of the Yuan Calendar", don't look at Lu Zhixing is young, but he is one of the editors-in-chief of the book, his opinions are very important to the entire Song Party.

And the biggest difference between him and the people of the Song Party is that he is very indifferent, other Song Party disciples are either for the country, or not for personal gain, they are very concerned about the activities of the Song Party, and it can even be said that they are actively engaged in the political arena of the capital, but Lu Zhixing is different, he seems to be content with his small official position, although he has the qualifications to enter and exit the Bamboo Court, but he rarely goes to the meeting.

If Xiao Huairen wants to enter the Bamboo Garden, then Lu Zhixing is indeed a good guide, Lu Zhixing said with a smile: "Brother Xiao thinks highly of me, but I don't know what Brother Xiao wants to do in the Bamboo Garden?"

Xiao Huairen leaned over to Lu Zhixing's side and whispered a few words, Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Brother Xiao's idea is very interesting." ”

Xiao Huairen said with a smile: "Please also ask Brother Lu to fulfill it." ”

Lu Zhixing looked at him, and seemed to see a shadow in him, a familiar shadow, that is, his master Guang Yisheng, who single-handedly affected the imperial court, the Holy Maiden Sect, Butterfly Valley and other forces. What she didn't know was that Guang Yisheng's incarnation Zhuge Baixiao had seduced Xiao Huairen and said that he would take him as an apprentice. If this really happens, then there will be a pair of brothers and sisters sitting here.

……

Bamboo Garden

The second prince and his staff were discussing how to deal with the current matter, when someone suddenly came to report that Lu Zhixing came with a person.

Everyone felt strange, Lu Zhixing also had a certain weight among them, if he wanted to come in, he didn't need to report at all, and secondly, there were not many qualifications to enter the Bamboo Court, and even not everyone in the Song Party had a chance, not to mention that he also brought an outsider, what was he going to do?

Especially when everyone saw the acquaintance Xiao Huairen he brought, they frowned, the second prince also had an impression of Xiao Huairen, in addition to writing well, that is, he was just a villain who patted the horses, and he even had a history of surrendering to the Holy Maiden, and the second prince's party couldn't look down on him inside and out.

The second prince said to Lu Zhixing: "Zhixing is willing to come to the meeting, this is rare." ”

Lu Zhixing said: "Your Highness, it's not me who is coming here today, it's Brother Xiao who has something to ask to see Your Highness." ”

"Oh?" he glanced at Xiao Huairen, a little unhappy in his heart, but for the sake of Lu Zhixing's face, he still said, "Huairen has something to say?"

But he saw Xiao Huairen kneeling down with a plop: "For the sake of His Highness's life, please ask Your Highness to ascend the throne immediately." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the entire bamboo court, except for Lu Zhixing.

A son of the Song Party shouted: "Bold, you are a little courtier, you are talking nonsense here, you are here to murder Your Highness!"

This afternoon, the king has just fallen, and it is difficult to say what the final result will be, they have discussed that it is best for the second prince not to do much now, and take advantage of the time when he is in charge of the king and can not interfere, and strike at the eunuchs, by the way, grasp the power in hand, it is best to catch some military power. If the second prince takes the opportunity to ascend to the throne, what if the king is fine? Even if he succeeds in the upper position, it is definitely where the world criticizes, and it will hit his reputation a lot.

Xiao Huairen said: "Your Highness is loyal to Your Highness, and the current form is as dangerous as an egg for Your Highness, if you don't make a decision early, Your Highness will be in danger!"

"Enough! You nonsense, you want to trap me in injustice, come on, give me ......"

Xiao Huairen preemptively said: "Your Highness and the adults have planned, and Xiaguan can guess one or two, but the attack of the Shu army is imminent, and it is no longer allowed for His Highness to simmer slowly." ”

The second prince sneered: "That's all you want to say? He, the Marquis of Shu, has great courage, does he dare to usurp and rebel?"

Xiao Huairen immediately said: "Naturally we don't dare to usurp, but it may not hurt Your Highness, think about it, I am just a petty official, and I am soft-spoken, whether it is the reign of the king today, or His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty has become orthodox, or what happens to the Shu army, what does this have to do with me? ”

Xiao Huairen's words to belittle himself and even the royal family are indeed contrary, but it also makes sense, as far as he doesn't like to see dogs, it doesn't seem to matter to him who is on it.

A student sneered: "That's why you came to your Highness and said that you want to climb up, right?"

Xiao Huairen said frankly: "If it weren't for this, the adults who were innocent would not believe it, if my words are really useful to His Highness, His Highness will naturally not treat me badly, right?" Xiao Huairen, who seemed to be a courtier, generously admitted that he just wanted to climb up, and there was nothing wrong with this.

At this time, Lu Zhixing said: "Your Highness, since he already has a draft, you might as well listen to his nonsense, and there will be no loss." ”

The second prince thought about it, although he didn't have any expectations, but after all, he let Xiao Huairen finish his words: "If you have anything you want to say, just talk about it, but if you say something that shouldn't be said, then ......"

In the face of the threat, Xiao Huairen didn't pay attention to it: "Since this is the last time I will speak in my life, and all the adults present are also credible people, I will not be restrained." Your Royal Highness, the Shu army is like a bamboo, and it will reach the capital in a few days, I think you have also discussed it with all of you, I believe that it is impossible for the Marquis of Shu to really rebel, and their name is to get rid of the adulterous concubine, kill Matt, and clear the king's side. It may even be a help for His Highness to clean up the eunuchs. ”

As soon as they said this, the people present were shocked, because what they had just discussed was almost the same thing, but it was broken by Xiao Huairen, and it seemed that he also had two brushes.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huairen's words changed: "If it is placed in normal times, it will not lose a way to do this, but now the king ...... If the Shu army enters the city, what will they do?" For the body of the king, this is a taboo, so I can't say much, but for Xiao Huairen's rhetorical question, everyone is a little puzzled, because both the second prince and the disciples of the Song Party have self-confidence in their own side, unlike the third prince and the fourth prince who fought against each other because of the different forces of the family and the military.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Huairen said: "The Marquis of Shu is now the largest prince in the world, and his army is strong, who dares to guarantee that he will really not have any bad thoughts when he enters the capital? Take a step back and say, even if he doesn't dare to make a taboo, but he has already greatly offended the majesty by killing all the way, in order to leave a way back for himself, will he support the new king to ascend the throne? After all, the king is now ...... When he started the army, he listed the seven deadly sins. ”

A student said: "Even so, His Highness is the best candidate for the throne." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Huairen to speak, another student spoke: "That's not necessarily, His Royal Highness is the most suitable person, but not the most suitable person for the Marquis of Shu." ”

Xiao Huairen said with a smile: "In this adult's words, Your Highness is Tao Wuluo, your lords are also the pillars of the country, and the Marquis of Shu really supports the new king to naturally set up a new king that is beneficial to himself, and His Royal Highness has several young royal brothers, no matter how bad it is, isn't there still His Royal Highness?"

The second prince instantly woke up, yes, and the eldest brother, he is now lying on the bed crookedly, if it is just a competition for the throne in the capital, now he is naturally not afraid of anyone, but the powerful princes from outside want to push a puppet, then the eldest brother is a good candidate, as long as the elder and young are orderly, even if there is no eldest brother, it is not impossible to have a few young brothers.

This is someone who said: "Hmph, you are alarmist and support the crown prince without authorization, I don't believe that the Marquis of Shu will be stupid enough to risk the world's condemnation." ”

Xiao Huairen said with a smile: "Isn't it a matter of risking the world's condemnation to raise an army to attack the imperial court? I have already achieved seven points, so what if I do ten points? This lord, are you going to let His Highness gamble?"

After hearing this, everyone was silent, Xiao Huairen's speculation is only one of the future, but the probability of realization is very high, is the second prince gambling?

Lu Zhixing said again: "Since Brother Xiao raised the question, there must be a solution." ”

Xiao Huairen said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for trespassing." It seems that there is content in the next words, and the second prince waved his hand to show that it was okay.

Xiao Huairen said: "The next thing to do is to assume that His Highness will take the throne immediately, as long as His Highness is on the throne, he can immediately eliminate the demon concubine Su Lian, the eunuch Matt and a group of eunuchs." The Marquis of Shu raised troops in the name of eliminating the traitorous concubine, killing Matt, and Qingjun's side, these do not exist anymore, and His Royal Highness is also on the throne, and they naturally lose their righteousness. ”

This is a person sneered: "Shu sent more than 100,000 troops, it is impossible to return home so easily, right?"

"Of course not, this plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle is only the first step, and the second step is to let the Marquis of Shu come over. Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and let hundreds of thousands of troops come over generously?

Xiao Huairen said again: "Anyway, the imperial court can't stop him without soldiers and generals, so he simply withdraws the only remaining soldiers and horses, so that the capital can almost have 100,000 troops, and then sends an edict to the Duke of Jin, asking him to bring troops to the capital to discuss state affairs." ”

The second prince frowned and said, "Why do you want to find the Duke of Jin Guo?"

"Your Highness, the Jinshu War has been fought for a year, and neither side has taken advantage of each other, don't look at them shaking hands and making peace, but it is difficult to guarantee that there is no resentment in private. Shu is difficult to walk, this makes the Jin army suffer, if it is the capital side, it is difficult to say who can win the battle, I believe that the Duke of Jin also wants to be ashamed. After all, he is the chief of the northern princes, and it makes sense for you to invite him to come, when there are 100,000 people in the capital, and the Duke of Jin will also lead 100,000 troops, so that the hundreds of thousands of people in the Shu army will form a three-legged situation, I believe that they will come from afar, and they will definitely not dare to do anything like burning jade. In this case, whether it is the capital, His Highness will be safe. ”

Everyone thought about Xiao Huairen's words, which was really reasonable, but some people said: "After all, the imperial court is above all the princes, these two princes get together, what if they fail to contain each other, but join forces to deal with the imperial court?"

Xiao Huairen said again: "Then the third step is needed, the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and at that time, please ask His Royal Highness to canonize Sima Hui of Shu as Wu Weibo, and give him the entire Wu Wei." ”

Everyone was puzzled, but there were also a few smart people who understood the meaning, and he asked each other, and the key was in this martial arts. Wuwei is not a developed place, located in the north of Shu outside the Wuguan, although the administrative division belongs to the Shu land, but in fact there is no danger to defend, basically the Shu Marquis army is left in Wuguan, so this place has been occupied by the Jin State for a long time. This operation was to give the place actually ruled by the Jin Dynasty to the courtiers of the Marquis of Shu. No matter what the chief of the princes is or the first prince, nominally they are the courtiers of the Great Zhou, and it is not natural for the courtiers to be titled and fiefdom as the king.

But with such an obvious sowing of discord, will the two princes be fooled? Don't say it, it really will, not because they are stupid, but because Wuwei has a reason why neither of the two families can stop - Wuwei Racecourse. It was a place to war, before because of the administrative division and actual rule, the two families had disputes, if the king admitted it in law, it was undoubtedly an increase in bargaining chips, the Jin army suffered the loss of Shu land, the Shu army was not cleaned up by the cavalry troops of the Jin Guogong, just for the ownership of the horse farm, they had to turn their faces.
