After Zhuge Hanqing came out of Xishengmen, he took a carriage and returned to the inn. When he came back, he saw Puyang Gu Sheng playing against Murong Xiaoyue. He casually pointed at Murong Xiaoyue, and asked her to kill Puyang Gu Sheng without leaving a piece of armor.

"Brother Zhuge , you're helping her cheat, do you know?" Puyang Gu Sheng glanced at Zhuge Hanqing.

"She's not calling this cheating, it's calling it applying what she has learned." Zhuge Hanqing deliberately played tricks.

"Yes, yes, I call it learning to apply, Brother Puyang, are you not convinced?" Murong Xiaoyue covered her mouth and giggled.

"Okay, okay, you guys partnered to bully your big brother Puyang, am I still convinced?" Puyang Gu Sheng made a gesture of surrender.

"By the way, Brother Zhuge , where have you been, why are you still wet?" Murong Xiaoyue looked back at Zhuge Hanqing behind her.

"I went to Chongwenmen and Xishengmen." Zhuge Hanqing said casually while wiping the rain on his body.

"How? Did you catch a fish today? Puyang Gu Sheng interjected.

"Not only have they been caught, but they are also two big fish." Zhuge Hanqing drank a cup of hot tea and said with interest.

"Tell me about it, Brother Zhuge ." Murong Xiaoyue was very curious.

"A fish is, the infantry leads the Yamen villains to various prefectures in Kyoto; The other fish is that Ruijian and Dongshan No. 2 Battalion secretly purchased arrows. And also temporary change. ”

"This sounds counterintuitive, after all, the border war could affect our country at any time. If there is no good general to defend every Xiongguan pass, the enemy army can directly kill the foot of Yancheng in three days. Such an illogical arrangement is simply playing with fire! Puyang Gu Sheng was suddenly startled and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, don't these almost foolish orders be known to the Holy Beings today?" Murong Xiaoyue said.

"If the Holy One knew about these things today, he would be furious. The reason why the order has not been withdrawn is because someone is secretly manipulating all this, and he can still hide it from the Holy Lord seamlessly. Zhuge Hanqing continued to elaborate.

"You mean the prime minister of the day? After all, he is the only one who can mediate between the Holy Beings and the Minister today. Puyang Gu Sheng tried to guess.

"These two arrangements are weak on the outside, but on the inside they are hidden needles in the cotton, to put it bluntly, this is a sign of intended rebellion. Although the prime minister is extremely popular, he does not have any real power in the military department, not to mention that when he replaced your grandfather and became the right prime minister, there are too many people in the military department who secretly disobey him, because his means of ascending to the throne are too black. Once he wants to rely on the military department and do something wrong, someone from the military department will definitely sue him early. Therefore, even if the prime minister wants to rebel, he must be powerless. Zhuge Hanqing looked at the rain outside the window and said leisurely.

"If it's not the prime minister, who else can it be?" Murong Xiaoyue was also confused.

"The person who can deceive the saint today is naturally the person he is most favored." Zhuge Hanqing put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room.

"You mean the second prince?" Puyang Gu Sheng suddenly woke up and said.

"That's right, the military department Shangshu and the prime minister are sons and daughters, and the prime minister's youngest daughter is the princess of the second prince, this is like a naked political marriage, and the three are a relationship of both glory and loss. As a result, if the second prince wants to transfer troops and punish generals, the secretary of the military department can cover for him. In addition, if the replacement of the chief general of the defense of Gyeonggi cannot be handled by the Holy Lord, the tripartite seal of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War is required to take effect. Although there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials is a loyal fan of the second prince. The people who can collect the three great seals are only the second prince at the moment. Zhuge Hanqing stretched out his hand to pick up the rain outside the window, and the rain splashed in his palm, and finally gathered into a nest of water, like a transparent butterfly that could not escape.

"But the second prince is the most favored prince in the Holy Heaven today, and the throne will be hiss sooner or later, so why should he have the intention of rebellion?" Puyang Gu Sheng came up with a very crucial puzzle.

"This is also what I can't figure out the most, unless I ....." Zhuge Hanqing frowned slightly and groaned.

"Unless he wants to ascend the throne early?" Murong Xiaoyue tried to answer.

"All rebellions are aimed at seizing power, if not to ascend the throne, but also to eradicate the people who pose the greatest threat to themselves." Zhuge Hanqing said.

"Brother Zhuge , since we have all deduced who is behind the scenes, how do you plan to plan the next thing?" Puyang Gu Sheng asked.

"Let's go meet somebody first."

"Who?"

"It's the same one I mentioned to you last time, the one who stepped down to the former ministry."

"What are you looking for him to do? Isn't he a man to die for? ”

"A man is about to die, but his words are good."

......

"Knock knock..."

Zhuge Hanqing pushed open a small dilapidated house, the room was dimly lit, the air was damp and moldy, and there was a smell of Chinese medicine.

"Uncle Tantai, we've come to visit you." Zhuge Hanqing walked to a bed and bowed with his palms.

"It's you, I remember you've been here. I didn't expect that I, a person who was about to enter the earth, would have people come to see me, cough cough cough... I didn't live in vain. An old man with gray temples coughed while covering his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Uncle Tantai, do you know who he is?" Zhuge Hanqing pointed to Puyang Gu Sheng beside him and said.

"Forgive the old man for being clumsy." Yutai Gulun looked at Puyang Gu Sheng suspiciously, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Do you remember the King of Zhenxi back then?" Zhuge Hanqing asked.

"Is he?" Yutai Gulun asked in surprise.

"That's right, he is Puyang Gu Sheng, the widow of Puyang Yi." Zhuge Hanqing said as he took the jade pendant in the brocade bag to the old man for a closer look.

"It turns out that you are really the widowed grandson of the King of Zhenxi...", tears welled up in the corners of Gu Lun's eyes.

"Back then, I received the kindness of the king of Zhenxi, and when the Kyoto earthquake occurred, the king of Puyang happened to be in the ministry of officials, and he disregarded his own safety and carried me out of a main hall of the ministry of officials, and even his legs were affected

The beam of the house was smashed, and that scene is still fresh in my memory. Later, the king of Puyang was martyred, and I asked for his grievances because of the performance, but I was beaten with a hundred court staffs, but fortunately, the person holding the staff was an old acquaintance with me, otherwise the old man would not be able to see the grandson of the king of Puyang now. "Yutai Gulun cried and laughed.

"Now that I'm also in the last years of the wind and candle, I don't know what happened to the grandson of Puyang looking for the old man? No matter what, if you have a trace of strength, you will die without regrets! ”

"We want to stir up the storm in Yancheng, but we have been far away from the palace for many years, we can't see through the three princes, we don't know who is more loyal to them, and we hope that the old man will guide us..."Puyang Gu Sheng said slowly.

"Although the old man is a slight official in the ministry, there is no high-quality talent, but he almost never looks at people, I look at the three princes, and the three princes are the most loyal and loving to the people, benevolent, righteous and kind, upright and frank, and upright. If the world gives it to him, the old decay is the most assured. ”

At this point, the old man began to cough up blood.

"Old man, this is twenty taels of silver, let's not bother much." Puyang Gu Sheng said, and put two pieces of silver next to the old man's pillow.
