At this time, Murong Hong, the fifth prince who had no vision, was sitting in the palace and analyzing the current situation with a cadre of staff, handling documents from all over the country and discussing government affairs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When night falls, the stars are shining outside, the moonlight is like water, and the midsummer night is so hot and windless that even the leaves are too lazy to move. Thunder could be heard faintly in the distance, signaling an impending storm.

In the study room of the side hall, it is as bright as day, and the four corners are placed with ice basins, with a trace of white mist, and the room is particularly cool.

Seven people sat around the long table, their faces were slightly serious, and they looked at Murong Hong who was sitting on the main seat.

Murong Hong reclined on the Taishi chair, looked at his staff with a smile, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "This king knows that he is graceful, handsome and charming, and he will not be fascinated by you, right? ”

Staff member Zhang Tingshan touched the beard under his chin, the muscles on his slender face couldn't help twitching, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Lord Wang, forgive your subordinates for not understanding, what is the beauty of this game of chess that the prince walked?" It is reported that the eldest lady of the Mei family is cowardly and incompetent, and she has been bullied by her master and subordinates in the mansion, she is completely a waste, she is still a concubine, and her aunt is not favored, you actually personally asked the Holy Lord to give you a marriage, what does this mean?"

Zhang Tingshan, 41 years old this year, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, is a Jinshi who has been healthy for three years. Because he didn't want to be in the same league with his boss, he was framed for embezzling disaster relief funds and was sent to prison. Later, it was the fifth prince who rescued him and returned his innocence. However, the darkness of officialdom made him afraid of his career, so he took refuge in the benefactor Five Princes and became the lord of the palace, that is, the staff.

For this young prince, he sincerely admired, and he rarely questioned any decision he made. It's just that today, he didn't doubt the prince's decision, he just didn't understand, so he asked the questions in everyone's hearts.

Murong Hong looked at his henchmen and staff present, restrained the smile on his face, and only said two words: "It's worth it!"

Everyone looked at each other, what was the answer? Was there anything in it that they didn't know? However, since the prince had said so, no one dared to mention it again.

Murong Hong straightened his sitting posture and said, "Okay, there is no need to discuss this, let's talk about the important things at the moment." Xu Hua, how did you investigate that matter?"

Fu Xuhua, twenty-five years old, joined the army as a secretary of the palace, the leader of the Flying Eagle Guard, responsible for guarding the palace, training secret guards and intelligence gathering, with thousands of people under his command. He also has another identity, that is, Fu Bingze's concubine. Previously, he had been in charge of investigating the Meifu Iron Armor Army, but the clue was broken when he arrived at Taiping Lake. He also sent people to check along the shore of the lake, but found no clues.

At this moment, he frowned and was very distressed: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have secretly checked all the shores of Taiping Lake, and they have not found anything suspicious, is there a mistake in the information?"

Murong Hong didn't speak, he gently stroked the jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, thought quietly for a while, and said, "Expand the target, check the periphery of the capital well, and be careful not to reveal your identity." “

"Yes!" Fu Xuhua replied with a bow.

"Lord Wang, about the official department of Shangshu ・・・・・・" the other lord Bo Li Maolin asked, "Now that all forces are vying for this position, who do you think is more suitable for us to recommend?"

Murong Hong glanced at everyone and asked, 'What do you think?'

Tong Ruifeng turned a folding fan with a magpie Dengmei pattern in his hand, and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates think that Zhao Songyuan has been down-to-earth in the Ministry for so many years, and his performance and reputation are good, so it's time for him to play a role." The main thing is that his position is second only to Shangshu, and if you mention it, no one will say anything. “

Tong Ruifeng is obviously Murong Hong's cousin, he runs after Murong Hong all day long, and he is not very serious about studying in the Guozi Prison, but he is one of the masters of Prince Su's mansion, with a flexible mind and great potential to tap.

The Zhao Songyuan he said was a poor child, born in Jinshi, and secretly helped by Murong Hong to rise steadily all the way, and he has been the left servant of the ministry, no one knows the relationship between him and the five princes, he only thinks that he is promoted by Fu Bingze, the secretary of the ministry, and is Fu Bingze's protégé.

Now, Fu Bingze is facing Zhishi, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, and the best candidate has been prepared to hand over the excerpt. And Zhao Songyuan, as the left waiter who is second only to Shangshu in the ministry, should be the most suitable.

However, the candidates recommended by the eldest prince and the prince are also very good, and their political achievements, reputation, and qualifications are all top candidates, on the other hand, Zhao Songyuan has no forces involved on his face, and there is no strong force to back him up, no one can guess the emperor's thoughts, who is suitable, this is really hard to say.

The position of the official department is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, promotion, transfer, and award of official officials across the country, and he is the highest official of the official department, and he is the head of the six official books, so it is no wonder that all forces want to push their own people up.

At this time, Pei Xiangzhou, who had not spoken, said: "My subordinates think that it is better to be quiet and not to move now, so we don't have to do anything." What we need to do at present is to be obscure, accumulate strength secretly, and not be busy in the limelight. The saint is wise, and he seems to care about nothing, but whose small actions can hide from the eyes of the saint? He is just pretending to be confused. “

Pei Xiangzhou is over forty years old this year, and he is clearly the chief of the palace, responsible for everything in the palace, and is actually Murong Hong's civil and military master. He is both civil and military, resourceful, and good at layout and planning.

He and Concubine De are brothers and sisters, and they worship the supreme real person as their teacher. Entrusted by his sister, he served as the governor of the palace. But his greatest wish in his heart is to wash away his grandfather's grievances and let the children of the family participate in the imperial examination.

He planned for the five princes wholeheartedly, and he was bound to push him into that position, only in this way could their family's grievances be revealed one day. Therefore, he will consider the problem from the overall situation, and will not care about temporary gains and losses. You know, sometimes a bad decision affects the big picture.

He believes that the emperor is now in the prime of life, there are two forces competing with the prince and the eldest prince, and the court is already like a powder keg every day, and there is no need for his own prince to mix in to attract the attention of many parties, the most important thing is the emperor's disgust, they can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight now.

Li Rongxiang, another school secretary of the royal palace, nodded and said, "I agree with Brother Pei's opinion. “

Li Rongxiang is only eighteen years old this year, and he is the concubine of Li Dongwei, the first assistant of the cabinet, and now he is studying in Guozijian, and he is a classmate with Tong Ruifeng, and Tong Ruifeng pulled him in. Li Rongxiang is low-key, humble and studious, and no one in the Guozijian knows that he is the son of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Murong Hong actually agreed with his master Pei Xiangzhou's opinion, but he wanted to know the true thoughts of these people under him, and he could also see everyone's character and temperament.

These people all entered the core of the palace after the secret investigation of the master, and they are all people who can be trusted. However, because the palace has not been established for a long time, some places still need to be run in together, which is why he let everyone speak freely.

In the end, Murong Hong unified everyone's opinions, put aside the excerpts for the time being, and waited and saw the changes.

Later, the situation in the court and the direction of the palace in the future were discussed, and everyone dispersed. (To be continued.) )
