"Father, what do you think of the current situation?" Qi Ran asked straight to the point.

He learned from the seven gentlemen that Emperor Chen followed the advice of the seven and intended to let Wu Chunyang take over the post of prime minister. You Ran has been ordered to secretly leave Beijing.

"The situation has always been like this, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind." Lin Xianglan said. He is aging fast now, and he is out of breath as soon as he speaks.

"Your body is getting worse day by day, and I always think something is wrong." Qi Ran said. With his and Lin Yanran's abilities, although they can't cure Lin Xiang's illness, they won't accelerate the deterioration.

"Even you can't see the clue, that's no problem." Lin Xiang still said very lightly, "Does the third division continue to ask you?" ”

"They are not stupid, and they will not let me, a person who has no intention of fighting the court, really participate in the dispute. They don't want to see deep winter in the middle of summer. Qi Ran said. The third division is now only restricting him from leaving the Chen Kingdom, and there is no monitoring of his whereabouts. The case of the three princes is still under supervision, but it is obviously loose inside and tight outside.

"Sansi won't embarrass you, I know this, neither will Li Taishi and Emperor Chen, but Wu Guifei definitely doesn't want to do this." Lin said to Qi Ran, who had a disdainful look.

Qi Ran was trapped in the Chen State, which was a preliminary victory for the military side, as long as the person who really wanted to harm the third prince could not be found, Qi Ran would not be able to get rid of suspicion, and Chen Huang would not do anything. Concubine Lin wants to avoid suspicion, and she will be cautious in her words and deeds. In his current situation, he knows very well that it was Concubine Wu who made the second lady do something.

It is imperative for Concubine Wu to bring down herself. And he doesn't have a long life, he knows this very well. As an old man, he does look down on life and death, but he also has nostalgia. He can't let go of Chen Guo's hard-won stability and his relatives. He must always be on his guard, and he will have a backhand.

"Zhen Yuanhou went to Chen Yu's mansion." Qi Ran saw that Lin Xiang's face was not good, so he changed the topic.

"I know, Chen Yu's mansion is very lively now." Lin Xiang's face was full of anger. Concubine Wu Guifei asked Chen Yu to deal with Chen Huang, and if she wanted the royal family to fight again, she wanted to reap the benefits.

"His Royal Highness Chen Yu is sensible, he knows the measure, and he is not a person who burns when someone lights a fire." Qi Ran shook his head. Chen Yu had experienced court battles, and he believed that the former prince would not be taken advantage of.

"But this is also an opportunity, they have to seize the opportunity, they have to take action, as long as they move, there are many variables. Chen Yu and his faction have wanted to turn over for a long time. Lin Xiang shook his head and smiled, he was used to the danger of power struggles, and he didn't think that Chen Yu would let go of this opportunity.

From the perspective of Chen Yu's faction, this may be an opportunity. But if you ignore the people of the world for your own benefit, you will already throw them a few streets. Qi Ran said it in layman's terms. Lin Xiang listened to such a popular statement, and there was a smile on his face: "You came here to ask me whether Wu Chunyang is qualified to take over as prime minister." ”

"I can't hide anything from you." Qi Ran smiled when he heard this, it was actually very easy to talk to Lin Xiang.

"He is a person who is currently acceptable to all three forces. After all these years, I don't know if he hasn't changed his original intention. But years ago, he was an adversary I respected. After Lin Xiang finished speaking, his expression was gloomy.

"Do you always think that among the princes of Chen Guo, which one can make Chen Guo live for a long time?" Qi Ran asked what he thought.

"The two princes have their own merits, Chen Huang is suitable for troubled times, he will be a generation of heroes; Chen Yu is suitable for the peaceful and prosperous world, he is benevolent and can follow the advice.

The two brothers are of the same heart, and it is no problem to unify Kyushu, if there is infighting, it will also hurt the roots.

Emperor Chen knew, so he suppressed Chen Huang and didn't let him get involved in the army, because he was afraid that he would be arrogant and not leave a way back for Chen Yu, and he would kill him all. When Lin Xiang said this, his face was full of resentment.

"But now it is possible that the aliens are gaining power. The third prince is young, and although Concubine Wu has ambitions and means, she will eventually have to take advantage of the town. The town is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Qi Ran said.

Therefore, Wu Chunyang took over as prime minister, which is in the heart of Concubine Wu. Wu Guifei is not a person who can be controlled by others. That Wen Qingning gave her a good gift. ”

"You've always found this?" Qi Ran was taken aback, they hadn't found it yet.

"Chen Guo's separation of military and political affairs does not mean that his subordinates are not available. Otherwise, the town will act early. It's going to be like this! Lin Xiang said coldly. Qi Ran, is this underestimating his background?

"What gifts?" Qi Ran was reprimanded, and then he came back to his senses and forgot to ask the most important thing.

"It's their plan." Lin Xiang took out something from under the pillow and handed it to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran was shocked when he glanced at it: "They want to do something to Li Taishi?" ”

"You think. Li Taishi guarded Chen Jing, cultivators from all walks of life did not dare to come, once he was killed, Wu Mai led the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce to move, Chen Jing would be the main battlefield of cultivators, do you think you can sit idly by? ”

"I forgot to tell my father, if the cultivator dares to move, I, Qi Ran, will never spare it." Qi Ran clenched his fists, he didn't expect that Liu Jin wanted to ignite the fire of the cultivation realm first. As long as Wu Mai and Wu Guifei's faction join forces, Chen Jing is really a hell on earth, even if he can win, he can't protect the people who are suffering from it.

"You can handle the affairs of the cultivation realm. Human affairs must be managed by people. Tell Chen Yu that if their brothers can't cooperate, they will be ruining the Chen family. Listen to him or not. When Lin Xiang said this, he was obviously angry and coughed non-stop.

"What is my father trying to say?" When Qi Ran heard Lin Xiang say this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, it seemed that he had never hidden what he had done from Lin Xiang.

"The national interest is paramount." Lin Xiang said breathlessly.

"Of course I know that." Qi Ran comforted Lin Xiang.

"Chen Yu should be looking for you, and Chen Guo's safety will be handed over to you first. Seven gentlemen are kind to you, and they will listen to you. Although Li Taishi is a confidant of Emperor Chen, he is also a pillar of the country, and you must protect him thoroughly. After my death, the second lady asked her to go to the tomb and not to enter the capital again. The second lady is married, so let her go with her husband's family. Lin Xiang told Qi Ran.

Qi Ran was at a loss when she heard this, regarding the arrangements for the aftermath of the second lady and the second miss, she told herself and Yanran to protect her and her last time, why is she making this arrangement now. Now I say it so carefully, it's like arranging the aftermath.

"Chen Guoguojun, it is up to the people of Chen Guoguo to choose, don't meddle in this matter." Lin Xiang looked at Qi Ran stunned, and said another sentence.

"I have memorized what my father said, and I will follow your teachings." The more Qi Ran listened, the more like listening to the last words, and hurriedly agreed.

"That's very good." After Lin Xiang finished speaking, he asked the butler who was waiting on the side to send Qi Ran away.

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's going to be bad." The butler said with a crying voice. He is a young scholar of Lin Xiang, who has witnessed Lin Xiang's life and is already Lin Xiang's family.

"Where is the second lady?" Qi Ran didn't see the second lady and asked.

"The second lady lives outside, and she will come back to visit every morning and evening, and now is not the time, but she will come in a while." The butler replied.

"Don't let her know what your father said today." Qi Ran said after hearing this.

"Xiangye told me a long time ago, no one talks much." The housekeeper should respond.

"You accompany your father, and I will let Yanran move in." Qi Ran left in a hurry after speaking.
