Wu Zheng looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Last night, I drank with the general Shangguan An, the eldest princess's son Ding Wenxin and her good friend Ding Wairen, as well as the grandson of the imperial historian Sang Hongyang, and I heard that they were all complaining about the tyrannical and domineering of the great Sima general Huo Guang, and actually put the left general Shangguan Ji, the imperial historian Sang Hongyang and the eldest princess in the air, and now these big men have a lot of opinions about Huo Guang, I think if they can be pulled to the side of King Yan, then the opportunity for King Yan will come." ”

Seeing Wu Zheng's eyebrows dancing, Chen Wan was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "General Zuo Shangguan Ji and Imperial Historian Sang Hongyang are both ministers of the former emperor's entrustment, how can they have a holiday with General Sima, if this is true, then King Yan does have another chance." ”

Chen Wan is more and more happy, in fact, he came to Chang'an to think that King Yan is out of play, for his own future plans, think about it or go back to Chang'an to see if he can find another official position, now listening to Wu Zheng like this, I didn't expect King Yan to be able to reborn a salted fish, and there is a chance, it seems that he wants to actively plan for King Yan.

"I've come to see you today for this matter, and I want to discuss with you how to take the next step."

"I'm still a little worried, the father and son of Shangguan Jian are one of the generals of Zuo and the other are the general of the chariots, Shangguan An is still Huo Guang's son-in-law, will their close relationship lead to a turn of face because of these frictions."

Chen Wan's worries are still very reasonable, after all, the two families are sons and daughters, that is, we often have a political marriage, and they are both orphans and important ministers, and they can only make progress together by helping each other, and the current queen is the crystallization of their two families, how can it be broken so easily?

Wu Zheng saw Chen Wan's worries, and hurriedly said: "First of all, Huo Guang is too domineering, suppressing Shangguan's father and son everywhere, Empress Shangguan can become the queen, it is the credit of the eldest princess, at that time, Huo Guang also wanted that Empress Shangguan was also his granddaughter, so he did not intervene later; But in addition to this matter, he has to interfere in other things, and he doesn't give face to Lord Shangguan, the eldest princess has done such a big favor, and it is all operated by Ding Wairen, and the people Ding Wairen also want to be with the eldest princess in a dignified manner, so Lord Shangguan proposed to give Ding Wairen a marquis, but Huo Guang suppressed it and didn't give it, which didn't offend the eldest princess together. ”

Chen Wan thought for a while and said: "Actually, if you want to be a marquis, you can't seal it casually, Huo Guang is probably worried about this, after all, he is at the helm of the entire dynasty now, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him." ”

"This is in the past, but then the eldest princess helped Shangguan Darao again, Shangguan Darao's father-in-law had a relative who broke the law and wanted to be beheaded, and the eldest princess paid out of her pocket and handed over twenty good horses in exchange for this life, Shangguan Daren retreated to the second best place in order to be grateful to the eldest princess, and wanted Ding Wairen to be the Guanglu doctor, but Huo Guang did not allow it, and now they have a big opinion."

When Chen Wan heard this, he also felt that the work of Shangguan's father and son could be done, so he said: "Such an eldest princess must hate Huo Guang, but Shangguan's father and son still have to do work, especially Shangguan An, I think he is a gentleman, his mind is still relatively simple, after listening to his daughter become the queen, he always comes out to show off, he often eats with the emperor, and my son-in-law invites me to dinner today, hypocrisy is extreme, this kind of person has no vision, easy to buy, as long as the temptation will be, but the imperial historian Sang Hongyang is indeed a very shrewd person, it is really difficult to win over. ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you don't know, a figure like Dr. Yu Shi has a very important reputation, and if his political opinions and strategies are rejected, it will be tantamount to his life, so using Huo Guang's idea of rejecting the policy he advocates can win him over; And according to my observation, his grandson Sang Chen is also a playboy, he doesn't learn and has no skills, Sang Hongyang has always wanted to help his grandson find a good official position, but he has been suppressed by Huo Guang, so these two things together, it is not difficult to win over the imperial doctor. ”

Chen Wan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Be cautious! Be cautious, King Yan has failed twice, as the saying goes, there are only three things, this time you have to plan slowly, don't worry, don't hurry! ”

Hearing that Chen Wan had been muttering to himself, Wu Zheng hurriedly said: "This is the reason why I came to you in a hurry, I just used my money to buy them first, and how to form an alliance can only be made by King Yan himself, we are just helping to do things." ”

"The key is still General Zuo Shangguan Ji and Imperial Doctor Sang Hongyang, if these two adults agree, it will be easy to do."

Chen Wan's vision is still very unique and he can see the problem, but Wu Zheng is even more confident, and he is busy saying: "Brother Chen Wan's concerns do exist, but if you look slowly, it won't be long before Doctor Yu Shi will break with Huo Guang." ”

Why is that? Do you have the art of prophets? ”

"Haha, how can Wu be so powerful, I heard that Huo Guang will incite those Confucian scholars to prepare to attack the policy of the Imperial Doctor, which is to ask the imperial court to abolish the monopoly of alcohol, salt and iron, if so, then how can it not offend Lord Sang."

After hearing this, Chen Wan immediately became happy, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's good, it seems that King Yan's opportunity has really come, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and when the time is ripe, we will call King Yan to make a move." ”

Looking at the scheming Chen Wan's slow and leisurely appearance, Wu Zheng was still a little anxious, so he said: "Brother Chen Wan, in fact, you can act first now, I mean to go and inform King Yan first to see what he means." ”

After Chen Wan pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "It's okay, no matter how we plan, it still depends on the meaning of King Yan, if he doesn't take the meaning, we will be busy." ”

"After King Yan failed last time, what is happening now, I haven't seen him for a few years."

"It's a little depressed, but we can persuade him, I think about going to Yan Kingdom a few times, and report to King Yan about the movements in Chang'an City, can Brother Wu Zheng go with me."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's still inconvenient for me to go, my identity has always been very secretive, I don't want to be exposed so early, and this information can't be conveyed by someone casually, so it's better for you to go alone." ”

Chen Wan nodded and said: "It's okay, you can hold Shangguan An's gang first, if the funds are not enough, I can send some to King Yan and let him send some over, you can rest assured." ”

Wu Zheng was ostensibly a jeweler, but in fact, his jewelry and money were provided by Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and Chen Wan had always been a messenger of communication between Yan and Chang'an.

After a few days, Chen Wan set off to return to Yan and report to Liu Dan, the king of Yan, what happened in Chang'an during this time.
