Zige looked back and saw that it was Hongshang and Song Qingshu, so he got up and took Hongsheng's hand and sat down beside him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Song Qingshu has always been casual, sitting alone in front of the window, and the remaining three people looked at each other and smiled, no longer reluctant.

"I just went to take a look at the house, the windows are bright and clean, the clear stream surrounds the room, and the scenery is excellent." Hongshang said softly, "It's been a little delayed, you two must have been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's okay, Ge'er and I are just chatting." Mu Lixuan glanced at Zige, and couldn't hide a smile in his eyes, "It's been some time since you entered Beijing, are you clear about the situation in Jiangdu now?" ”

The song is headed. "Although I have a wire newspaper in my hand, there are many sources, and it is difficult to understand it from the point, so I can only say that I know a little bit about it."

"Ge'er is too modest. When we chatted at night, she always analyzed the things in front of her and hit the nail on the head. It's just that whenever she encounters something related to King Huainan, she will be concerned and confused. Hongshang interjected, "In the downtown before, we saw the King of Chengjiang ridiculing the King of Huainan on the street, and the King of Huainan did not have the heroic appearance and dejected expression of the past, presumably now he has no power in the government and the opposition." ”

"When the Marquis of Zhonglie was destroyed and Empress Yang was abolished, Gao Zhen toured the south on behalf of the monarch to avoid being connected. But when he returned to Beijing again, it was already upside down, and it was only because the old ministers in the court tried their best to preserve it that he did not lose the position of prince. However, without the protection of his mother and the Yang family, the power of supporting the prince is declining. Mu Lixuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Later, after the Gui concubine was sealed, the second prince became young and old, and he emerged in the court, and his proud work was to find out that Su Xun, the prime minister of the dynasty, embezzled the disaster relief money, and the Fang family took the opportunity to cut off the remnants of the Yang family, and more than 100 people sat down. Gao Zhen lost his pillar and was isolated in the court, so he could only abdicate to protect himself. ”

Hongshang lowered her head, stroked the ornament on her skirt, and did not speak. Zige no longer had a smile on his face.

"I don't know how he survived in the past ten years, he slipped from the position of the prince, although he no longer has power, 'former prince' is still a feared title. His Majesty became more and more suspicious, and he had not yet established a prince over the years, worried that the Fang family's merits would be overshadowed and he would re-follow the old path of the Yang family. Whether Gao Zhan is made the crown prince or not, Gao Zhen's life will be worse day by day. Mu Lixuan continued, "Now the ministers in the court are all headed by the king of Chengjiang, and the king of Huainan is a waste in the eyes of everyone, with no power and no power, and no relatives in the court. ”

"I understand my brother's situation, and I also see his sufferings one by one." Zige sat up straight and said, "Can you show Ge'er a clear path and help my brother regain the throne?" ”

Mu Lixuan was silent, but he took the cup full of tea on the table and raised it between Zige's eyebrows. His five fingers are slender, his gestures are calm, and the surface of the water is calm, like a deep pool.

"The situation in this palace is like this cup of tea. It is not an overnight achievement to snarn the military generals of Wenchen, open up the joints one by one, and establish their own parties in the government and the opposition. The king of Chengjiang has been in politics for many years, and he is in power, and the water will overflow. If you want the King of Huainan to fight against him on this frontal battlefield, you must have not established a firm foothold, and you will be severely suppressed. ”

"What then, in your opinion?" Zige asked.

Mu Lixuan curled his lips and smiled, turned his palm lightly, poured it upside down, and the tea flowed all over the table in an instant. Looking at the empty teacup in his hand, Zige already had an answer in his heart.

"What do you mean...... Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and overturn all the situation? ”

"Exactly. His Majesty's confidence in foreign courtiers has been declining day by day after the prime minister Su Xun's case of bending the law for personal gain. The affairs of the court and the central government have become a check and balance between His Majesty and the courtiers led by the King of Chengjiang. Mu Lixuan tapped the table with his knuckles and said slowly, "Zhao Heng, the prime minister who just arrived at the beginning of the year, is the father of Zhao Bairui, the princess of Chengjiang, and has always been partial to Gao Zhan, which is disliked by His Majesty. His Majesty has the intention of strengthening the centralization of power, supporting the internal court, erecting hundreds of officials, and firmly holding power in his hands. ”

Zige pondered for a moment and continued: "If we can really resist the power of the inner dynasty against the outer dynasty, we will be happy to see it." What's more, if Your Majesty wants to find another henchman, we will have the opportunity to re-encircle the newcomers and gradually infiltrate the inner court. ”

There was a faint look of worry on Hongsheng's face, and he added softly: "Ge'er, this is a dangerous move, the game between the imperial power and the relative power, if you rashly participate, it is very likely to lead to fire." ”

"But this is the only way to bring down the Fang clan head-on, unless ......" Zi Ge saw Mu Lixuan's smile undiminished, and said affirmatively, "You have already thought of another way, you can do both." ”

The second is ...... The purple jade talisman of the Seven Great Meritorious Marquis of Great Qi. Mu Lixuan said word by word, and when the two of them heard this, they both gasped.

After the Gao clan pacified the world, he rewarded the heroes, and awarded seven of them with outstanding military achievements and loyal ministers as the founding heroes of the Great Qi Dynasty, received gold seals and purple ribbons, broke the ground and was knighted, and on top of all kinds of honors, seven people were given purple jade talismans to unify the soldiers and horses of Zhongzhou. Although Yang Yuxuan, the Marquis of Zhonglie, has been dead for many years, the remaining six have all held important positions in Beijing.

"Not to mention how difficult it is to steal the talismans, even if you have them all in your hands, what's the use?" Zige smiled bitterly, "Isn't it to incite my brother to rebel with me?" ”

"I think what Lixuan means is that with the military power in hand, we have the initiative." Red Dress explained.

"As you said, how to steal jade is a difficult thing to do. But if you can really hold the seven pieces of purple jade in your hand, you will naturally know how to use them. Mu Lixuan stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the door of Zige's head, and said, "It's okay to use two prongs, but the key is one point: although King Huainan is in a bad situation at this time, he has also survived unharmed for many years. If he is obscure, he may be able to die in peace. But if the Fang clan knew about his idea of reversing the case, it would be difficult for him to get out of the way. ”

"You can rest assured, one day with me, the Fang Clan will never be able to touch a finger from him again." She raised her hand and gently helped the golden step between her hair, making a loud sound, "The seizure of the heir and the reversal of the case are all my delusion, I will not say much to my brother, so I am so shocked, killing three birds with one stone, but the people in the bureau are unaware." ”

"It's good to kill three birds with one stone, but don't forget your original intention just for the sake of the fourth bird......

Mu Lixuan looked at her, and a look of incomprehension flashed in his seductive eyes.

When the two returned to the room, the second watch bell and drum had already sounded, echoing far and near in the quiet night. The autumn rain is like weaving, the sky and the clouds, the building and the water, are all shrouded in a fog.

One night the autumn wind Lan Hui folded, and the dream of the Remnant Star Lonely Pavilion was unsuccessful.

Zige held on to the carved wooden door, looked back at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the rain, and slowly closed the door for a long time.
