Tong Yuan stood outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze, but his thoughts had long since drifted away. Even though he was standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, his mind was still like a mess, and his palms were in a cold sweat, for fear that he would cause some trouble because he said something wrong next. It wasn't until the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion stepped forward to ask him that he came back to his senses and followed the butler into Huo Pei'an's study.

Sitting in front of the bookcase, he glanced up, and saw that it was Tong Yuan, so he said in a calm voice: "Tong Yuan, are you here?" In the morning, I went to the clerical dining room to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be there, where have you been? ”

Tong Yuan lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Xiaguan Xiaguan went to inquire about something." ”

“

"Oh? What did you hear? Huo Pei'an said coldly and slowly put down the scroll in his hand.

Tong Yuan took a deep breath, and secretly considered what to say next, and only said softly after a long time: "Your Excellency already knows that the emperor intends to let King Rui be responsible for cleaning up the household deficit, but your adult must not know the real purpose of the emperor's move, right?" ”

Huo Pei'an's eyes froze, and he got up and walked towards Tong Yuan. "The real purpose? Are you saying that the emperor actually has a deep meaning? ”

"Exactly! Xia Guan had some eyeliner in the palace, and they overheard the conversation between the emperor and Wei Ming. "Tong Yuan, "The emperor let King Rui go out this time, in fact, it was to kill King Rui in a way!"

Tong Yuan's soft and faint words made Huo Pei'an tremble, "How can you say this?" ”

"Think, my lord! Why is everyone so afraid of this? Isn't it just that I am afraid that I will be punished by the emperor if I can't do an errand, but if I finish the errand, will I become the target of public criticism? ”

"So what do you mean...," Huo Pei'an pondered for a moment and hesitated, "The emperor's move is to deliberately put King Rui in a dilemma?"

"Exactly!" Tong Yuan nodded heavily, narrowed his narrow eyes, and said, "And the emperor's trick to kill people with a knife is a high means!" ”

Hu Pei'an frowned, paced a few steps forward gently, and his steady steps touched the ground silently. "But if it's really as you said, why didn't the emperor tell him the reason when I objected to this matter?"

"After all, King Rui is the emperor's younger brother, how can you let him talk to you? It's just to give his brother a hat for not doing well, no matter how you say it, it's not good! Tong Yuan continued to bewitch.

Huo Pei'an waved his hand, obviously not buying it. "The matter between Benxiang and King Rui, the emperor doesn't know, what is there to hide?"

"That's the second thing the lower official has to say." Tong Yuan said mysteriously, with a sly glimmer in his eyes. "My lord, think about it, why did the emperor tell Wei Ming frankly about this matter, and hide it from you, my lordship? Because adults are gradually losing the emperor's trust! Therefore, the top priority is not to think about how to solve King Rui, but how to regain the emperor's dragon heart, and don't let that Wei Ming have a chance! ”

Seeing that Huo Pei'an frowned and was silent, as if he was pondering something, Tong Yuan spoke again: "As long as the emperor is here, King Rui will not be able to make any waves." To put it bluntly, in the matter of King Rui, the emperor and your lordship have the same heart. But if the lord still opposes the emperor everywhere and collides with the emperor with many words, I am afraid that he will push the heart of the saint to Wei Ming. It's not terrible to let go of King Rui, but losing the dragon's heart is the real corner! ”

Huo Pei'an's sword eyebrows were raised, a pair of black and bright eyes moved slightly, and his cold eyes were full of haze about to come. Suddenly, his body moved, and without saying a word, he walked outside. "No! I'm going to get into the palace quickly!"

Tong Yuan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly grabbed Huo Pei'an, and said, "My lord just came out of the palace, and now I'm going back?" Wouldn't it be too rushed. It's good that you can make an excerpt now and hand it over tomorrow morning, things have been dragging on for so many days, and I'm not in a hurry to do so. ”

Huo Pei'an shook off Tong Yuan's hand fiercely, and said anxiously: "No, since this matter has been finalized and handled by King Rui, then the prime minister must prevent Wei Ming from interfering in it." ”

"Why is that?" Tong Yuan was puzzled.

"Benxiang once sent someone to assassinate Wei Ming, but he suddenly killed a Rui King halfway, so Benxiang suspects that Rui Wang and Wei Ming have already been a nest of snakes and rats and colluded." Huo Pei'an still had an unwilling expression on his face when he talked about the raid on Fengshan.

Tong Yuan opened his round eyes and said in surprise: "There is still such a thing? The lord had to hurry into the palace to make King Rui take charge of the emptying, and he couldn't let Wei Ming assist in the case. ”――

In the teahouse in the downtown of Beijing, Zhou Wenxin and Wei Ming sat at the same table, and the two of them took a sip of the teacup together, but the faces on their faces were completely different.

Wei Ming had a cold face and said with a sad face: "Although the will of the household deficit case was issued, no one thought that King Rui would be in charge of this matter, King Rui has not been involved in government politics for many years, and suddenly he was involved in such an important task, the old man is worried...."

Seven days ago, Emperor Liang Yinhao officially issued an order, and Prince Rui Liang Yinhuan was in charge of the deficit case, with the assistance of Ling Huang, the head of the household department. King Rui was the candidate proposed by the emperor, and the unlucky Hubu Shangshu Ling Huang was pushed out by Huo Pei'an. Huo Pei'an changed his original attitude of strongly opposing it, but took the initiative to ask the emperor to appoint King Rui, and proposed that the household department assist in handling the case. In fact, it is not difficult to guess the reason why Huo Pei'an pushed Ling Huang, he neither wanted Wei Ming's people to help King Rui, nor did he want to sacrifice his own people, so he chose such a guy who did not stick to both sides, which made Ling Huang cry and laugh.

Wei Ming glanced at Zhou Wenxin deeply and asked, "At the beginning, you asked me not to meddle in this case, did you already know that the emperor would choose King Rui?" ”

"Xia Guan is not an immortal, how can he count the emperor's thoughts? No one expected that the emperor would choose King Rui this time, which is really incredible. Zhou Wenxin smiled calmly, "Besides, when the officials persuaded the adults not to worry about this matter, they knew that with your temperament, once you meddle in this case, you will definitely offend the government and the opposition, leaving a lot of gossip to Huo Pei'an." ”

Wei Ming said disappreliantly: "Do things for the court, serve the king, or do you care about your reputation?" There are a lot of people offended by the old man, and he has never valued this thing outside his body! ”

Zhou Wenxin's face sank, "Adults don't value it, doesn't mean that Huo Pei'an won't make a fuss about this?" If the lord falls, there will be no strength to compete with him. ”

Wei Ming sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "You asked me to focus on the overall situation, and I did what you wanted." But what are the results now? There was no one in the court who could come out, and the emperor had no choice but to elect a Rui king. Let's see what Ruiwang has done? What good things has he done since he received the decree?! ”xh:.74.240.212
