Although Liu Xingzhi has an arrogant personality, he is very concerned about whether he can inherit the unification, and he is like a demon, so he is more anxious about the current three-legged pattern than before, so that he is not one step further away from the throne!

Seeing his son Liu Xingzhi asking, Liu Xun shook his head and muttered, "According to reliable sources, now some officials led by Xun Yu and Xun Mou's father and son have begun to fall to the side of the prince. ”

Liu Xingzhi's face changed, "How can this be?" How many years has this old fox been, why is it so easy to show the fox's tail now? ”

"Yes, the current situation is not good, the situation that was originally evenly matched is now immediately tilted to the side of the prince. Looks like we're having to make some changes! Liu Xun said, thoughtful, but a little melancholy.

Liu Xingyuan didn't like this kind of party struggle very much, but in the palace, you are the prince and grandson, so you will inevitably be forced to do it, "Father, do you think that Lu Zuo will come to help us now?" ”

"Lu Zuo?" Ning Wang Liu Xun seemed to have forgotten about this person, reacted for a moment, and then smiled contemptuously, "A cloth dress, and no background, I'm afraid it won't be able to become any climate!" ”

"But I heard that the prince is like a guest!" Liu Xingyuan has a good impression of Lu Zuo, "According to the child, this Lu Zuo is somewhat capable." ”

"You think the prince cares about a little Lu Zuo, he is just like us, just acting on the spot." Liu Xun explained.

Liu Xingzhi glanced at his brother, and said angrily: "Brother, you don't understand how old you are, these are all for the world to see!" How else can we embody our corporal courtesy! ”

Liu Xun laughed when he heard this, pointed at Liu Xingzhi and said, "Okay, over time, you have to be promoted slowly as a father!" ”

"Father laughed." Liu Xingzhi stretched his brows and couldn't help but smile, "This is a major event for the prosperity of our family, and the child is naturally more concerned than the other things." ”

When Liu Xingzhi said, he glanced at Liu Xingyuan very unnaturally, because recently, this brother who is not doing his job has begun to walk very diligently with the Criminal Department, and it is said that he has begun to like investigating cases again.

Liu Xun knew what Liu Xingzhi meant, and also felt that Liu Xingyuan was a little unmotivated, so he asked Liu Xingyuan with a straight face, "Xingyuan, I heard that you have been running to the criminal department every day recently, is there such a thing?" ”

Liu Xun's tone was like a son's tone of doing something wrong, and a father instructing his son.

"Forehead ......" Liu Xingyuan's face twitched, and he didn't dare to answer timidly.

"Although Cui Hao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a henchman of his father, but if you run over there every day, it is inevitable to give people a handle, so you had better go to the Criminal Department less." Liu Xun saw that his son bowed his head and was silent, and emphasized one side in a loud voice, "Do you understand?" ”

"The child got it!" Liu Xingyuan replied embarrassedly.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and an old voice came from outside the door, saying, "Master, is it convenient?" ”

Liu Xun replied loudly: "Old housekeeper, come in!" ”

Suddenly, an old silver-haired butler pushed the door in, and although he was old, he was still walking vigorously.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xun asked gently.

"Master, Yang Youxian, the young secretary of Dali Temple, Lord Yang has been waiting in the secret room for a long time." The old butler whispered in a hoarse voice.

Liu Xun replied and asked, "It's from the secret passage, right?" ”

"Exactly, the master has commanded, Lord Yang is very careful."

Liu Xun nodded, "You go and prepare some wine and food to send, and this king will come." ”

The old butler nodded yes, and then turned and left.

The secret passage of King Ning's Mansion was specially built to facilitate communication with his henchmen, and his subordinates who had ordinary relationships on weekdays did not know about it, and only those who thought that King Ning had a prominent status and were his confidants knew about this secret passage. The front door of King Ning's Mansion is the most prosperous section of Xining Street, and at this intersection is a restaurant, which is actually bought by King Ning secretly, in fact, in order to hide people's eyes, so a secret passage was built in the firewood room of the restaurant, leading directly to the firewood room of Ningwang's Mansion.

Liu Xingzhi saw that his father was mysterious and secretive, and he always let Yang Youxian go through the secret path recently, and he was also strange in his heart, so he asked: "Father, has something happened to Yang Youxian recently?" Always run to our house! ”

Liu Xun stood up from the struggling chair behind the bookcase, and said, "Let's go, let's go and ask you together." ”

After that, Liu Xun walked in front, Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingyuan followed, and Liu Xingzhi saw that his brother was also following, so he said in a weird manner: "Brother, my father said to let me go and have a look, I think you should go to Aunt Zhou's to ask for peace." ”

Liu Xingyuan was told by his younger brother, stopped, watched the two of them walk out of the door with an expressionless face, and then looked at his younger brother's flattering action of supporting his father, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, suddenly felt a sour nose, sighed, and went directly to his mother's room to ask for peace.

Liu Xingzhi helped his father and walked into the yard a few times, came to the firewood room in the backyard, and saw that there was no one outside the door, Liu Xingzhi went back to the house, opened the firewood pile in the corner, and there was a fist-sized stone under the corner, Liu Xingzhi leaned over and twisted the stone gently, and the mechanism was triggered instantly. Then a secret door appeared on the wall in front of him, which was slowly opened, and by the light of the fire inside, he could see the dark room clearly, almost four zhang square, and there was a passage in front of him, which was the firewood room of the Xining Street Restaurant, and there was only a table and a few circle chairs in the middle.

In the dark room, a middle-aged man in his usual clothes was sitting and waiting, and when he saw King Ning appear, he hurriedly stood up and bowed rudely.

"Lord Yang doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and sit down, let's have a few drinks together." Liu Xun and Yang Youxian humbly sat down with each other.

On the table, the old butler had already set up the food and drinks. As soon as he sat down, Liu Xun couldn't wait to ask: "How is the situation now?"

Liu Xingzhi knew that there must be something big, so he also sat next to him and listened.

Yang Youxian reported complacently: "Now according to the observation of the lower officials in the past two days, Li Shizhi has indeed begun to fidget, and he has lost his temper with his subordinates. It seems that King Wei really wants to use a knife on him. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xun pondered for a moment, "This is not a bad thing for us. ”

Liu Xingzhi didn't know what to do, and asked curiously: "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Youxian explained: "The prince doesn't know, this Dali Temple Qing Li Shizhi is the eldest brother of Queen Li, and it can be said that he is the prince's person. However, two days ago, in the early morning of the dynasty, Du Zongting, the imperial historian, brought out the case of 'Wu Qingfeng' that was presided over by Li Shizhi and accused Li of the crime of negligence in that year. ”

"Oh?" Liu Xingzhi became more and more curious, "I know this, but why did Du Zongting still dig out such old accounts?" ”

"Childe, you may not know, this Du Zongting is careful, no one can guess who he is! However, this old guy, since he can go from the sixth rank of the Taiyuan Imperial History to the third rank within two years, and become the Imperial Doctor, I think the backer behind him must be extraordinary. This time the old account was reopened, probably in order to bring down Empress Li's eldest brother Li Shizhi. Yang Youxian said incredulously.
