Late at night, in a hidden basement in Tianzhou, Qiu Guhan, Xiangguo Gong, and Xia Wusheng sat at the table.

It was the first time the three of them had sat together to discuss alliances and the expansion of power.

Qiu Guhan and Xiangguo Gong were very calm, but Xia Wusheng was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly.

The edict of the first emperor even left a testament, and according to the content of the edict, Qiu Liuxue is the only royal heir who is qualified to be the emperor, and the ascension to the throne of Qiu Yexian is not justified

With this edict, Qiu Liuxue can justifiably win over all forces and strengthen himself, so as to force the palace to the autumn night.

"The eldest lady has promised to support me." Qiu Guhan said slowly, "Although General Feng has gone into hiding, he has many subordinates and comrades-in-arms in the army, and these people are now scattered in the barracks, holding military power, and the eldest lady has secretly contacted these generals." I believe that with General Feng's influence, he will be able to win over many forces in the army to stand on the side of the Feng family. ”

"As for the Hunting King," he looked at the two old men in front of him and said, "Concubine Yin's life is in the hands of the third brother, he can only remain neutral, and we can remove him from the list of six." ”

When Feng Jinghua told him about this result, he was not surprised, and accepted it very calmly, not thinking about trying to convince Yin Jiu to kill at all.

First, he knew that the weakness of Yin Nine Kills was firmly controlled by Qiu Yexian, and second, he didn't want to owe Yin Nine Kills such a big favor.

He is also a man, and he also has his dignity and pride.

Only in this kind of thing, he must not lose to Yin Jiu Kill.

"How so?" Xia Wusheng was anxious, "Among these six people, the power of the hunting king is the greatest, if you can get his support, you will win, there is no doubt that you have such a good relationship with him, and Feng Jinghua is helping, how can you let him stand by and watch in vain"

"Uncle, there is no need to mention this matter again." Qiu Guhan interrupted him strongly, "Yin Jiu Kill is already our great luck if he is not on the side of the third brother, don't be too greedy." ”

After Yin Jiu Kill was removed from the list of six people, there were only five people left, so as long as he won the support of three of them, at least it would stand up in public opinion.

Ji Heng and Qiu Mianmian will definitely support Qiu Yexian, so as long as Qiu Yexian is recruited to one more person, he will be able to take the advantage.

This is one of the calculations of the autumn night strings.

"If the Hunting King can't be used by us," Xia Wusheng's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Then it's better to get rid of"

A man like Yin Jiu Kill, who holds a heavy army, if he is used by Qiu Yexian, then they really have no chance of winning at all, as long as they get rid of it in time, they can have no worries.

"Shut up," Qiu Guhan stared at him, and said word by word, "Such thoughts, don't even think about Yin Nine Killing, which is not a character that the Xia family can afford to provoke, if you make a move against Yin Nine Killing, Yin Nine Killing and the Feng family will definitely join forces to destroy the Xia family." If you dare to drag this king into the water, this king will kill you. ”

It was the first time he spoke to Xia Wusheng in such a stern tone.

The attitude is also very tough.

It made Xia Wusheng's heart tremble. While being dissatisfied, he faintly felt relieved that he had to have such a decisive and ruthless courage to be worthy of chasing imperial power.

The expression on his face changed for a while before he endured the embarrassment, squeezed out a smile, and said respectfully: "Uncle Cousin lost his words for a while, and he won't make the same mistake again in the future, so you can forgive Uncle Cousin's mistake." ”

With Xiangguo Gong present, he must give face to Liuxue, otherwise, wouldn't Xiangguo Gong look down on Liuxue

Qiu Guhan no longer mentioned the matter of Yin Jiu Killing, and said: "This king and the eldest lady are mainly responsible for contacting General Feng's friends and subordinates in the army, Grandpa Guo is responsible for contacting and persuading Prince Rong, and my cousin is responsible for contacting and winning over the supporters of the eldest brother and the fourth brother. ”

Ji Heng's children and connections in the court are too huge, and they don't leave too many gaps.

Fortunately, Xia Wusheng secretly co-opted and bribed the neutral faction, the anti-emperor faction, and the princelings survivors in the court as early as three years ago, as well as the mother clan and sympathizers who were in the autumn smoke and the autumn fog was light, and at that time, Qiu Yexian, Ji Heng and others had not yet noticed Xia Wusheng's actions, giving Xia Wusheng an opportunity.

Now, Xia Wusheng has also secretly accumulated a number of forces in the court, although it is not enough to compete with Ji Heng, but it will not be in absolute weakness.

As long as they have an advantage in troops, Autumn Night String is not invincible.

"Don't worry, the prince." Xia Wusheng said sincerely, "After the efforts of my cousin, as well as the appearance of the prince, the Xia family has long recognized the ability of the prince. The current Xia clan will definitely fully support the prince. Don't hide it from the prince, in the past year, the Xia family has continued to secretly expand their contacts, and has cultivated a group of talents for the prince."

He gushed about his exploits.

even took out a list: "Look, Lord Wang, this is the talent cultivated by the Xia family, all of them are very reliable, although no one of them can stand above the court, but with them at the bottom and in all aspects, they will definitely be able to make contributions one day." ”

On the Tower of Power in Tianzhou, the high places have all been occupied, and there is no place for him to intervene, but at the bottom of the tower, there are many of his people.

If the bottom of the tower is unstable, can the people in the high places still stand firmly?

Qiu Guhan took the roster, and after scanning it first, a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Cousin has done a good job, and you have worked hard in the past few years." ”

This list lists in detail the names, origins, births, experiences, positions, etc. of these people, and he can know that most of these people are from humble backgrounds, empty talents but have no ambition because they have no way, and they are extremely eager to climb up, and at the same time, they are extremely jealous and resentful of the powerful people who occupy high positions, and if they are given the opportunity to climb up, they will definitely go all out.

At the same time, these people may not be in high positions, but they are all able to do things or have access to all kinds of information, and they can be more or less useful.

Xia Wusheng is not empty-hearted, he is also very strategic and scheming.

While they were talking, Xiang Guogong had been listening.

It wasn't until the two of them had talked enough that he said: "The prince and Lord Xia are right, and the old man agrees, but there is one thing, and the old man still wants to ask the prince to think about it again." ”

Qiu Guhan said: "Grandpa Guo, please speak." ”

"It's still a matter of Fog Boy." Xiang Guogong's eyes were extremely keen, "Although the prince always says that he is good to you, but sooner or later, this edict will be made public, and when the time comes, he is also qualified to fight, and the old man feels that he will not let go of this opportunity."

"Fight" Xia Wusheng heard that Qiu Guhan seemed to have competitors, his ears immediately pricked up, and he asked, "What do you mean, what does Grandpa Guo mean?"

"Lord Xia still doesn't know" Xiangguo Gong looked a little surprised, "The fog boy next to the prince is likely to be the stand-in of the Four Highnesses or the deity of the Four Highnesses, if he can prove that he is the Four Highnesses, he can naturally compete with the prince."

He told Xia Wusheng about the identity and origin of the fog boy
