Nalan Jinxiu was a little relieved when she heard the answer, and then asked, "Hasn't the third master come back yet?"

"Nope. ”

Ji Hongye was picked up by Peng Jing early in the morning, and it seems that they all know about last night's incident, and now they should discuss a solution.

Nalan Jinxiu is not wrong, in today's Jinling City, if it is not a party of King Hui, the only one who has not been surrounded is Peng Mansion.

may be because there are many soldiers in the Peng Mansion, and they are all generals, and it is not easy to surround them. Besides, it is difficult to support the lonely tree, and if he is put outside, he will not be able to make any waves.

Peng Jing originally wanted to meet the other adults, but unfortunately, only Ji Fu repelled the people who surrounded him yesterday, and as for the other adults, they didn't even dare to go out of the door until now.

He let his masters steal Sun Wenjie out, Sun Wenjie was already depressed, and when he saw them, he was even more indignant: "King Hui deceives people too much, this is Jinling City, the imperial capital, he acts so arrogantly, isn't he afraid of heaven?"

"What's the use of complaining about this now, the top priority is how to solve this situation. Peng Jing was calmer than him.

"How to solve it?" Sun Wenjie's emotions have not calmed down: "You are the only one of the three of us who has soldiers, and no one can solve this game except you." ”

"I'm just a second-class soldier, how can I have so many soldiers?"

Sun Wenjie also had a headache, he rubbed the corners of his forehead hard, and said in a low voice: "Then why do you say that King Hui has so many soldiers at once?"

"I don't know. ”

Sun Wenjie rolled his eyes at Peng Jing and said, "You just don't know anything." ”

"If you know, why bother asking me?"

Sun Wenjie was speechless, so he could only look at Ji Hongye and said, "You are the most thoughtful, but now you are talking." ”

"I'm wondering where these soldiers come from. Ji Hongye didn't have the heart to quarrel with him.

"I thought that if he was sent out of Beijing, he would definitely not be able to hinder us in the future, so he didn't let people stare at him. Who knew that it was such a carelessness that caused a big mess. ”

Sun Wenjie was still embarrassed, and he really couldn't understand, how could King Hui get so many people? And he had carefully observed, those people were all excellent elite soldiers, not pretty.

"It's true that we underestimated him. This is also a rare mistake by Ji Hongye. He and King Hui have known each other for many years, and they both know each other's temperament and temperament.

He felt that King Hui's biological mother, Qing Xuan, although she was from a low background, she also won the Sacred Heart because of her intelligence. King Hui is no different from the princes born to other concubines, they are all golden and noble.

People like them, who come from royal families, are born with a sense of superiority. If they take a huge blow, they are likely to collapse.

Degrading King Hui out of Jinling, so that he has no chance to be on the throne from now on, this blow should be fatal. What I didn't expect was that King Hui was able to keep his head in the dark and accumulate strength secretly.

"In the past few years in his fiefdom, he has done a lot of things to benefit the people, and he has won the hearts of the people. Even the people of the surrounding cities called him virtuous, and from this point of view alone, the other princes were inferior to him. ”

Peng Jing listened to Ji Hongye's words, and couldn't hide his surprise in his tone: "Huai Jin, aren't you going to push him to be the king!"

"Actually, it's not impossible. Ji Hongye said lightly: "We don't have a better choice now." ”

Sun Wenjie became angry when he heard the words. He had just sat down in the chair, and he stood up again, and his tone sounded very urgent: "We are all forced by him now, and if we choose to push him up at this time, it will be tantamount to submission." ”

"So what?"

"We are all ministers of Daning's humerus, if this word is passed on to future generations, won't it become a big joke?"

"Do you think your reputation and mine are important, or Daning's future is important. ”

Sun Wenjie was speechless by Ji Hongye's question, and only sighed after a long time and said: "Of course, national fortune is more important than face. ”

"Emperor Jiayu has passed away, if you don't push King Hui now, then there will only be King Xun. ”

"King Xun can't. Peng Jing got up: "He is completely obedient to Xiangguo now, and it is easy to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes when the time comes, and that is to cause chaos in the world." ”

"So, although King Hui is not what we are satisfied with, it is better than nothing. ”

Sun Wenjie weighed the pros and cons and finally sat down. He is very the bones, and he does not give in easily, but at this time there is really no other choice.

"So, is that really all there is to it?"

"There is no choice. ”

"But King Hui does not have an edict of succession, so we can't help him cheat. This is Sun Wenjie's bottom line, and it is also something that he will never be able to regress as a Daning official.

"Did he use violence against you yesterday for this?" Peng Jing thought of the situation he saw today, and combined with what Sun Wenjie had just said, he thought of something important.

Ji Hongye nodded.

Sun Wenjie was already Bingxue smart, after listening to such a conversation, what else did he not understand? He sighed: "I now think that this King Hui is not very smart, if he is really scheming enough, how can he not know that your mansion is much more difficult to attack than Peng Hou." ”

"He's tempting. Ji Hongye said.

"Anyway, whether he needs to be tempted or not, don't we all have to give in? Sun Wenjie was really uncomfortable, sitting crookedly on the chair, almost like Xi Shi.

Coming to such a conclusion, Peng Jing was not happy in his heart. They are all people with dreams and ambitions, and they all hope that Daning can become more and more prosperous.

Now that there is no successor to the throne, and he has to choose a reluctant one from a bunch of people, he can't help but have some doubts about Daning's future.

"Since you have this kind of thought, why didn't you just agree to him yesterday? You had a fight, and then you agreed, which made the civil and military officials think of you. I'm afraid that you, the head of the cabinet, will have no prestige at all in the future. ”

Ji Hongye's eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes were like two small fans, and there was an indescribable quietness. He didn't speak, just sighed slightly.

Sun Wenjie couldn't see him like this, he walked up to Ji Hongye's side and said, "You don't have to force yourself, it's a big deal, we will set up a little emperor and teach him political affairs little by little." With you as a scholar, what else is impossible. ”

Ji Hongye didn't explain much at this time. The reason why he didn't promise King Hui yesterday was not just because he was a scholar, hard-boned, and didn't want to bow his head in front of his fists.

There is a more important reason, that is, he cannot leave such a handle in the hands of others. Otherwise, how will he establish his prestige in the future, and how will he be an emperor?

Although it is not very emotionally acceptable now, it is only a stopgap measure after all. He has the handwritten edict left by Emperor Jiayu in his hand, and many ministers know his handwriting, as long as it is made public, naturally no one doubts its authenticity.

But the little house he wanted to get. However, the little prince he chose was still young, and it was really difficult to take on a big responsibility.

Of course, he didn't mind supporting it single-handedly, but if he rashly pushed a little emperor up, it would inevitably arouse everyone's opposition.

Besides, Huiwang is not a vegetarian either. He took so many people in Jinling, if he couldn't achieve his wish, he was afraid that he would definitely turn Jinling City upside down.

Such a decision is both a stopgap measure and a necessity.

"Then what are we going to do now? Could it be that after I go back, I will say to the people who are gathered in front of my door, "Call your master, and I agreed?"

"That's pretty much it. ”

"What's going on!" Sun Wenjie was helpless: "King Hui is not the kind of person who is stupid, he knows that we will all choose him in this situation, so why use such a method?"

How do you say that we will go to court in the future, and how will we face other colleagues? I think they will definitely laugh at me. It's not that you don't know how many enemies I have in this court. ”

Sun Wenjie is usually an unforgiving person, if he is asked to be a debater, it will definitely be first-class. It is also because of this that he has offended many people in the court.

"It's okay, they don't even bother to laugh at you. Because they are also threatened, they have to choose to give in in the end. As officials of the imperial court, if something like this happens, they must be uncomfortable in their hearts, and they probably don't want to be mentioned. ”

Peng Jing's analysis this time was very thorough, which impressed Sun Wenjie. He approached Peng Jing and smiled: "I really can't see it, when did you become so smart?"

"Reluctantly!"

Sun Wenjie looked at his smug look, snorted coldly, and then said to Ji Hongye: "Since we have already decided so, let's follow this direction." It's just that there's still a big problem......"

"What kind of problem?" Peng Jing is usually resolute, and he hates them talking like this.

Sun Wenjie rolled his eyes at him, thinking about how he thought he was smart just now. This guy is obviously the same as he used to be, stupid, and can't figure out anything.

"I'm asking you. ”

"That is, we want to enthrone King Hui, but Sangkook is not a vegetarian. We are now in the court, and it is not that we can make whoever we want to be the emperor. ”

Ji Hongye raised his head at this time: "It is precisely because of this that we have to let them contain each other. We all know how much King Hui desires power.

As long as he sees that he is only one step away from the throne, then he will definitely give everything he has. The first thing King Hui did when he ascended the throne must have been to suppress Xiangguo, we know, and of course Xiangguo knows. ”

Sun Wenjie's eyes became a little brighter, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement: "If the plan goes well, will we be able to decide the court in the future?"

Ji Hongye was silent when he saw him so excited. However, Peng Jing didn't want to listen to him say this, so he said a squeeze: "You are an official in the court, is it possible that you want to be a powerful minister?"

"Don't tell me you don't want to. ”

Sun Wenjie looked proud: "It is precisely because of revenge in my heart that I want power." If you can't take charge of your own affairs, then no matter how many ideas you have, it's all a fantasy. ”
