At night, in the west, the prosperity is over, and with the stars full of the sky and the full moon hanging, the capital gradually becomes quiet.

If you only look at it from the perspective of night, Kyoto Prefecture is not much different from other castles in the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.

The only difference is that in Kyoto Prefecture, there are far more houses than other castles that give up candle lighting at night.

Even on some of the more important festivals, every house in Kyoto Prefecture is lit with candles.

This is naturally due to the fact that the residents of Kyoto Prefecture have a large daily income, so they can ensure the basic livelihood of their families and purchase many other daily necessities.

So much so that many outsiders who have experienced the major festivals of Kyoto Prefecture will call Kyoto Prefecture the city that never sleeps.

It's a poetic name that's also full of luxury.

At this time, in the Shenwu Academy, in Xia Fan's bedroom, Qianguangyuan, Yuan Cheng Moqu and Ye Ying were sitting in various positions in the room.

Blood River stood behind Xia Fan without saying a word, and the peanut was still held in Ye Ying's arms, looking no different from before.

It's just that Xia Fan's eyes occasionally look at peanuts, but they are full of inexplicable meaning, which makes Ye still feel a little inexplicable.

"That's probably the case, Guangyuan, I need to know what you think now, do you want to fight with your second brother for this position. If you haven't thought about it, then it's naturally all Hugh. But if you have thought about it, you should have some arrangements of your own, otherwise in the current situation, in the next such a short period of time, in the face of such a huge advantage of your second brother, you will not have any chance at all. ”

Xia Fan looked at Qian Guangyuan and asked.

Before that, he had already told him in detail about the things that Qian Guangyi had come to him during the day, and he also told his opinion, but he didn't mention anything about the Xia family sending people to Dongshan County.

However, this question is really too abrupt and too straightforward, and if you don't pay attention to things related to the struggle for the throne, you will end up in pieces.

If Xia Fan asked such a thing in front of other people on other occasions, he would have been in an uproar, but at this moment, in this bedroom, Yuan Cheng was from the Northern Tang Dynasty, and Mo Qu had no relatives except for a mysterious master, and Ye still didn't need to mention it.

So when he asked this question so unabashedly, no one in the whole bedroom showed any unexpected emotions.

Just waiting for Qian Guangyuan to give a clear answer.

After a long period of silence, Qian Guangyuan finally looked at Xia Fan, although his face was still silent, but his eyes were quite firm.

"When I was younger, I didn't want to fight, but then I realized that I couldn't help it. Whether I want to or not, my father has lifted us to this position, and then we have to do it. Because I don't do it...... It's death. Failure is also death. I didn't want to fight, but I didn't want to die even more, so I came to Shenwu Academy. There are some things, even if you know that there is no hope, you can't sit still, Teacher Xia Fan, you say yes? ”

Hearing that Qian Guangyuan also gave a clear answer, Mo Qu and Yuan Cheng were all obviously relieved.

Xia Fan smiled and nodded, and then said: "Then we have to hurry up, your second brother's advantage is too great, whether it is a minister or a general, and even the people in the palace actually have a very clear judgment." That's a few of you who were set up, originally to sharpen knives for the second brother. No matter how sharp the knife is, it is in vain not to see blood. Through a few of you, cut off the last bit of family affection of your second brother, and naturally you can achieve a wise and martial emperor, and when the time comes, this emperor will take the dynasty iron cavalry and conquer all directions, I think it will be the situation that your father wants to see the most, right? ”

Hearing Xia Fan's words, the corners of Qian Guangyuan's eyes twitched, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.

"I'll just talk about it, as far as I know, your father has not much time to support, so we can't afford to engage in so-called conspiracies anymore, and we can't hesitate and wander anymore, from now on, we must act. Act openly! Since your father wants to erect you, he will not suppress you, but will sit back and watch you grow up on your own ability. With such convenience, we can't shrink back and use the fastest speed and the most direct way to pull all the forces that can be pulled into our hands. Be dignified, go and defeat your second brother. ”

Xia Fan said categorically.

"Teacher Xia Fan, I don't really understand, even if according to what you said, what is the use of pulling all the power that can be pulled up in your hands? I do have some power in my own hands, but compared to my second brother's, it is not worth mentioning at all, and I am afraid that it will not be of much use to do it so in a dignified manner. ”

Qian Guangyuan frowned.

"How do you know if you don't do it? You do yours, I do mine, you have to do it first to know. It's better than sitting still, you say? ”

Xia Fan said with a smile.

"Teacher Xia Fan, I don't know what you plan to do?"

After Qian Guangyuan nodded slowly, he stared at Xia Fan and asked very seriously.

"Chen Zirong Chen University Scholar is currently returning to his hometown and living in Qingyang City, and I was lucky enough to have a relationship with Chen University last year. If the scholar Chen can be invited to re-emerge from the mountain and serve as Zaifu again, then the strength of the Chinese people will be tilted. Of course...... This is a matter for the future, and what we need to do now is to make Scholar Chen willing to get involved in this turmoil. ”

When Xia Fan said this, he paused, looked at everyone's thoughtful expressions, and then said, "Starting tomorrow, I will go to the headquarters of the alchemist forging master and rune master group in the city respectively, and strive to get their support in a short period of time. And you also know what kind of status the Shenwu Academy has in our Daqian Dynasty. At present, there is no detailed statistics on how many people are students from the academy in various key positions of the dynasty, but since they are in the academy, of course, they must let the academy have a choice as much as possible. This is the most important goal we need to accomplish in the early stage. ”

Qian Guangyuan's eyes lit up, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said slowly: "The Imperial Forest Army stationed outside the capital is a force that I can control. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo Qu and Yuan Cheng looked at Qian Guangyuan in amazement at the same time, and even Xia Fan had a surprised expression.

"But no one but my mother and all of you here can know about it. The current commander of the Imperial Guards has a deep relationship with my mother, and if there is a real need, even if it is my father...... I can't command him! ”

Listening to Qian Guangyuan's frank matter, Xia Fan suddenly became much more relaxed.

Because it's a great force!

The Imperial Forest Army stationed outside Kyoto Prefecture has always been considered to be the most elite and powerful army of the Daqian Dynasty, although the number is not large, but the combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, it is said that the army has masters above the level of Wuzong, even if the number of the seven border armies of the dynasty combined, can not be compared!

Xia Fan always thought that Qianguangyuan's secret power should be in the court, but he didn't expect it to be in the army.

That's even better, after all...... Only in the barrel of a gun can power come out.

"Teacher Xia Fan, I have one thing I don't know, and I hope to get an answer."

After Qian Guangyuan confessed his biggest hole card, he suddenly changed the topic and said.

"You say."

"Why...... Are you going to be so active in helping me? No matter how you look at it, since my second brother has come to solicit him, it will be the best choice to follow him, right? Even if it's about you and still, my second brother can easily solve it, so I really can't figure it out. ”

"Well, do you think that someone like your second brother would abandon a family like the Xia family for the sake of one person?"

"Of course it can't be."

"That's right, so if I want to let the Xia family be kneaded by me, then the best way in a short period of time is naturally to be in a completely different position from them. I'm never satisfied that they don't continue to push me and still. ”

“…… I see. ”
