Mrs. Yuhua didn't ask what Chiba was talking about, but she frowned slightly and said: "Marquis Xie's sister was my father's former favorite concubine, and after my mother's death, she became the new queen, but she was not in good health and lived shortly. The king of ...... That is, my younger brother As, Xinna's concubine is also from Mrs. Xie Hou's mother's house. Xie Houye was originally born as a literary champion, but after joining the army, he abandoned literature and martial arts, and he also honed his skills in the army for some time and accumulated some contacts. Yanxi's Huo Xiyun is a rising star in the younger generation, so Xie Houye's military injuries accumulated and transferred back to the DPRK, and the matter of taking charge of the army went to Huo Xiyun. ”

"I heard that this King Huo Jun has been relieved of his military power is only a recent matter, does Madame know the details?"

Mrs. Yu Hua sighed, "I shouldn't judge Xiyun in this matter, but I always feel that he has been very confused recently. ”

Seeing that Chiba raised her eyebrows and was silent, as if waiting for the following, Mrs. Yuhua had to say: "Xiyun has a fiancée, her family has outstanding achievements, and the hereditary title is replaced, and in her generation, only such a girl is left, after her parents are gone, my father took her to the palace to take care of her, and she grew up with Assi, not a brother and sister, but a brother and sister, I sometimes feel that Asi likes her more than I like my own sister." By the way, she was named the county lord of Qinghe, and her name was Jiuyu. ”

Chiba interface, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "It's just a county lord, but I've been raised like a princess since I was a child, and my temper is too arrogant to think about, if I were the king of Huo County, I would have to quarrel with her." ”

Mrs. Yuhua was stunned for a moment, and then a little funny, "How do you know that Xiyun is quarreling with Jiuyu?" ”

"It's obvious." Chiba said as a matter of course: "I asked Mrs. Huo Jun why King Huo was relieved of military power, but Mrs. mentioned this Qinghe County Lord, which shows that this county lord is related to Huo County King's removal of military power." ”

Mrs. Yuhua sighed, "Yes, she was spoiled by Ah Si, her temper was a little irritable, and as long as it was about Xiyun, she was always jealous and suspicious, so they had been married for many years, but I didn't see Xiyun anxious to marry her." ”

Chiba nodded, "In my opinion, I'm afraid that the King of Huo County has another thought, although this county lord is jealous, it is definitely not groundless." ”

Mrs. Yuhua sighed, "You think so too?" In fact, Jiuyu came to me once, just before Xiyun unloaded his military power, she asked me how to keep a man's heart? ”

After saying this, Mrs. Yuhua laughed at herself, "I have been famous for this popular male pet all my life, but in fact, I really don't know how to answer Jiuyu's question." I only thought that the two of them had some quarrels, after all, they had fought some times over the years, so I comforted her casually, man, as long as you treat him well, he will treat you well. But who would have thought, soon Ah Si made a decree and deprived Xiyun of his military power, acting resolutely, and without even consulting with the courtiers, the final word was made. ”

Chiba interjected: "What often happens suddenly, in fact, has already been decided, just waiting for the best time." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Yuhua looked at him when she heard this, Chiba continued: "After Huo Xiyun was removed from the army, didn't someone replace him soon? It can be seen that the king of Beizhao has long had such a plan in his heart, and the county lord of Qinghe has made such a scene, how does Madam know that it was not the king of Beizhao who signaled the county lord of Qinghe to make trouble? Madam, your younger brother Assi is very far-sighted, and perhaps even the county lord has taken advantage of it. ”

Mrs. Yuhua was shocked when she heard this, she was stunned for a long time, and did not speak. It's not that she didn't think about what Chiba said, but she never thought that someone would hide these words in her heart and say them directly.

"Everyone in the world says that Beizhao Xinjun is stupid and lustful, but in my opinion, it's not." When Chiba said this, he glanced at Mrs. Yuhua, "Otherwise, to deal with a faint king, why is Madam so worried and troubled, and she can't sleep peacefully day and night?" ”

Mrs. Yu Hua did not speak, she was silent for a long time, and finally showed a sad and joyful expression.

"Madame finish what needs to be said first, and after that, I will tell Madame what I think."

Mrs. Yu Hua nodded, "The fifth prince I met in the gambling house around the city last night is Mrs. Xie Hou's maiden brother, ranked fifth, and is called the fifth son." ”

Chiba nodded, "Thinking about it, this Marquis Xie has been in the limelight for a while recently, just with a brother-in-law who has no official or position, he can bully men and women like this, and cover the sky with one hand, which shows that this brother-in-law's methods are not ordinary." ”

Mrs. Yu Hua sighed, "Master Xie has no children and no daughters, so Mrs. Xie Hou is extraordinarily indulgent to her mother's younger brother. ”

No children and no daughters? Chiba secretly sneered in her heart. He thought of what Gu Yingyu said, it seems that Xie Hou and his wife really have no heirs, is this a bad thing and a curse?

"I roughly understand the matter of Xie Hou, and Madam can continue to talk about others."

Mrs. Yu Hua continued: "On the day of Fang's birthday, in addition to my younger brother Ah Si and Xie Hou Ye, there are also my seventh brother Chenji, and Huo Xiyun who I just told you...... Mrs. Yu Hua paused, "There is another person, he is not from our Beizhao, but this person cannot be underestimated. ”

Chiba had already roughly guessed who this person was when he heard this. He hooked his lips slightly, but he didn't speak, but he heard Mrs. Yu Hua say: "This person's name is Xue Jian, his official position is not high, he is the Imperial History Department of the Supervision Yuan, but ......" Mrs. Yu Hua paused, as if she was considering the wording, "But this person is very powerful, it seems that he will soon be able to attack the object he wants to attack, such as Xie Hou, as well as the academicians of the Supervision Yuan, and other people who are useful to him, I guess the power behind him must be not small, of course he is a South Vietnamese, everything is not easy to conclude prematurely, but this person has stirred up a bloody storm in the previous dynasty, Until the fall of Cao Jinlun. ”

Chiba said: "Speaking of Cao Jinlun, if this person is not dead, among the people that Madam wants to say, he must be the first one." ”

Mrs. Yuhua snorted, "Mrs. Ben doesn't welcome him, and she will never invite this person into the mansion!" ”

"Cao Jinlun's contribution to the throne of the new king of Beizhao should be indispensable to him, but now he is not abandoned, and he quickly supported people who are beneficial to him. Maybe everyone in the world is wrong, Madame's younger brother, this King of Beizhao, is the best person who should sit on this throne. ”

Mrs. Yu Hua didn't speak immediately, she pondered for a moment before sighing, "Ah Si's reputation is not very good, I think Ye Gongzi has also heard of it?" ”

Chiba raised her eyebrows, "The absurd rumors of the Seven Maidens of the Night Palace, aren't they good?" ”

"He wasn't like that, and if my guess is right, it's probably not for nothing that he did."

Chiba intercepted: "How about the monarch of the Northern Zhao Kingdom, I think that Mrs. has more right to speak than me." Turning it back, judging from the current situation, it is An Jinghou Xie Daohuan who will definitely support the king of Beizhao, and there is no doubt that he will defend the rights he gets in front of him, even if he is shameless, even if he is notorious. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Yuhua frowned when she heard this, Chiba continued: "The rest of the people, I don't need to say it, Madame also understands that they all have their own reasons and will not completely surrender to the King of Beizhao, such as Huo Xiyun, who has just been relieved of military power; His Royal Highness, who is superior to the new monarch in terms of reputation and military exploits, but has to bow down to him because of his origin; Of course, there is also the Xue Jian who has an unknown position, an unknown background, and an unknown origin. ”

"Those who will definitely be opposed, Madame should give up immediately, time is tight and cannot be wasted." Chiba paused and said, "As for those with ambiguous attitudes, you can wait and see for the time being." And those who can be wooed, Fang's birthday is an opportunity, and Mrs. must seize it. ”

"You mean you want me to win over Lao Qi and Huo Xiyun?"

Chiba nodded, "The enemy of the enemy can be friends." Madame's strength alone, in this chaotic and chaotic court situation in Beizhao, is like a lonely leaf boat, when the wind stops and the water slows down, it is safe and sound, once the wind and clouds surge, Madame's lonely boat will be in danger of capsizing at any time. He stopped here, and then said word by word: "The illness of the lady in front of me is this unkind wind." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Yuhua was a little hesitant, Chiba continued: "Madam, people will always feel sorry for the person who sends charcoal in the snow, and those icing on the cake are like adding to the picture, who will remember it?" Although Huo Xiyun has now lost his military power, he is from a family, and when it comes to far-reaching people, that Marquis Xie is not an opponent at all, not to mention that he has the support of His Royal Highness the Seventh. Madame has thought about it, if Madam wants to keep His Royal Highness Ming Yuan, who should be the person who should be abandoned the most? ”

Mrs. Yuhua's expression changed, but she listened to Chiba continue: "Madame's new brother Asi, as well as His Royal Highness Ming Yuan, are like fish and bear paws in front of Madame, you can't have both, Madame can only choose one or the other. ”

Mrs. Yu Hua was silent for a long time before she finally spoke slowly: "You're right, Ah Si can't tolerate Ming Yuan, if I go, he will do his best to catch Ming Yuan, use it as a puppet and bargaining chip, and then threaten South Vietnam to achieve his goal." She sighed, "That's right, that's what Ace is. ”

She asked Chiba instead, "Then in your opinion, what are we going to do on Fang's birthday?" ”

"It's obviously not wise to move the King of Beizhao first." Chiba said lightly: "It's better to cut off his right arm first." ”

Mrs. Yu Hua understood, this was obviously An Jinghou Xie Daohuan, but she was a little puzzled, "Ye Gongzi, what do you want to do?" ”

Chiba hooked his lips and smiled, "Everyone has a past that they want to hide, especially an ambitious person like Xie Houye, there are even more secrets that they want to hide in the past." ”

Mrs. Yu Hua was surprised, "Could it be that Ye Gongzi has An Jinghou in his hands?" ”

Chiba nodded, "The righteous sister Yu'er I mentioned to Mrs. is the secret of Marquis Xie in the past, and now this secret has come to the door, if on the day of Madame's birthday, everyone gathers in front of the guests, and pokes this matter out, I guarantee that Marquis Xie will take care of himself, and he can't interfere in the rest of the matter." ”
