"The right phase is here." He Muhan's voice was flat, "Why is it late?" ”

He Muhan knew very well that the right minister from the Mu family had been diligent and diligent, and there were few delays in major court affairs, so he was not angry, but just calmly asked the reason.

But He Muhan called him with the official title of "Right Minister", instead of "Mu Xiangye" who was called by the junior on weekdays, which seemed polite and angry.

Mu Baichuan bowed again and said slowly: "It's the old minister's family matter...... Granddaughter Yanxi became ill yesterday...... I didn't sleep all night. ”

"Oh." He Muhan heard the extremely concerned tone in his tone, and hurriedly said, "Call the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look." ”

Mu Baichuan's voice choked, "Queen Lu has arranged for the imperial doctor to know about it, and the doctor has mixed a taste of Chinese medicine and drank it, Yanxi sweated all over his body after taking it, and after this burst of heat, he fell asleep, and the minister came with confidence." ”

He Muhan commented, "Well done. ”

Ning Xianghou on the side changed color slightly.

He Muhan then waved his hand, "Mu Xiang's grandfather and grandson have a deep affection, and it is the first offense, and the punishment for half a month will not be pursued, so take a seat." ”

Mu Baichuan bowed down to thank him, and then sat back in the first seat on his right.

"Regarding the alliance with the Canglang Ministry, what do you think of Mu Xiangye?" He Muhan asked, he didn't take out the edict of the first emperor at this time, but asked directly.

Mu Baichuan sorted out all kinds of emotions in his heart, and recovered from an ordinary old man who cared for his granddaughter to a powerful minister in the imperial phase, and said calmly: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate. ”

Although Mu Baichuan is also old, he is different from Wei Zhengxun who shows signs of aging, but he has a childish face, a strong spirit, and a loud voice.

Hearing this, the surrounding ministers looked at each other, and said in their hearts that your treasure can be pressed accurately, which is just in line with the will of the first emperor.

"The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to form an alliance, but he can use the strength of the Canglang Ministry. Now that the situation in Xirong is complicated, it should be a matter of time before the Helian Department betrays the imperial court, and as soon as the Helian Department moves, the Fengxiang Department, the Fufeng Department, and even the Yuntu Department may make a move. For Xirong, I am afraid that they will unite, Emperor Gao once said that 'Rong' is a knife, and we in Jinyang can't let it be sharpened quickly. ”

He Muhan nodded in approval, while the great eunuch Rong Qing beside him muttered a little in his heart, because Mu Baichuan's prediction of the situation and the information he had obtained with great difficulty using the Flying Eagle Guard were basically the same.

Mu Baichuan continued, "The minister thinks that he can stabilize Canglang, treat his proton well on the surface, secretly support him, and borrow his courage to compete with Helian and other departments, but on the surface, it is a bowl of water, so that Helian thinks that he has the backing of the imperial court and does not lose his heart of watching Canglang, so that the situation of the entire Xirong is still a dispute among the various ministries, and the imperial court has the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Mu Baichuan paused and said slowly, "More importantly, if you don't align, no matter what kind of situation arises, the imperial court will have room for maneuver. ”

He Muhan laughed and asked what he thought.

Ningxiang Hou said loudly, "Mu Xiangye's words for the country, this Hou bows to him." ”

Yu Qiancheng, who had not spoken, nodded and said, "Mu Xiangye is thoughtful, and he wakes up his subordinates with a word. ”

Seeing this situation, the other ministers got up and seconded the proposal, only the old uncle Wei Zhengxun still sat on the chair with his eyes closed, as if he was a wanderer, but he did not speak out against it.

He Muhan nodded and said, "Then let's do it, Zhongshu Ling!" ”

The minister, a capable middle-aged man with a clear face, stood up to answer.

"According to what Mu Xiangye just meant, you draft a national letter to be submitted to the Canglang Ministry, the language should be more stable, and the specific secret edict will be written by me personally!"

"No." The book ordered the order.

"Stand down, all of you." He Muhan waved his hand, and the ministers rushed out, and the two elderly left ministers Wei Zhengxun and right minister Mu Baichuan finally left under the guidance of the eunuchs.

Only Ning Xianghou was still standing in the hall and did not move.

"What's wrong with the imperial brother?" He Muhan was about to leave, and when he saw that Ning Xianghou was still in place, he asked casually.

Ning Xianghou looked at the palace gate and made a look.

He Muhan understood, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the door, and the eunuchs in the palace all withdrew, and closed the palace door.

"Okay, now it's just the two of us, Jing Xuan, you can say anything directly"

Ningxianghou suddenly knelt down, which made He Muhan startled, the two were named Junchen, but they were actually brothers, Ningxianghou even had the status of entering the palace without kneeling, and was about to be close to help, but what Ningxianghou suddenly said made He Muhan taken aback.

"The minister asked He Muhan to set up the prince as soon as possible to determine the unification."

He Muhan was taken aback and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Ning Xianghou was still kneeling and replied, "At present, the emperor is in full bloom, and it seems that it is too early to establish the prince, but the vacancy of the crown prince is an opportunity for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of. ”

"Why did Jing Xuan say that?"

Ning Xianghou did not answer directly, but said calmly, "What does the emperor think of General Yu Qiancheng?" ”

He Muhan commented, "The fierce general of the country." ”

Ning Xianghou nodded, "Although the minister had a dispute with General Yu just now, but he is not right about things, General Yu is indeed a rare general, but didn't the saint see the strangeness?" ”

"What's the matter?"

Ning Xianghou didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly: "General Yu was originally a martial artist, but just now, this stop, shout, and kneel are just right, and the words seem to be dull, but they are actually carefully designed, as if someone thought about it in advance according to his temperament." There is a master behind General Yu...

"Superior?"

"Have you ever thought about it, if you form an alliance with the Canglang Ministry, who will benefit the most?"

"Concubine Luan?" He Muhan was the first to jump out of this name in his mind, Luan Guifei was his favorite concubine, and her maiden family was in Canglang.

Ningxiang Hou shook his head and said, "Concubine Luan's power is only on the surface, and now several princes are still young, not so much to choose the crown prince, but to choose the queen mother for the future, Concubine Luan is powerful, then the fourth prince He Huaixin is most likely to inherit the crown prince." ”

He Muhan thought in his heart, even he didn't seriously consider the candidate for the crown prince, but many things are clear at a glance as long as he thinks about it, and now in the court, the three princes are most likely to inherit He Muhan's throne.

The eldest son, He Haochu, his mother is Queen Lu, and his eldest son is the most likely to serve as the crown prince, but his ability is mediocre and too feminine, so He Muhan is a little hesitant.

Luan Guifei is the most favored, and gave birth to twin dragon sons, the fourth prince Huaixin, the fifth prince Huaijin, the status of the boat rises, He Huaixin Lixian corporal, Wencai Junxiu, is a popular candidate for the prince.

And the eighth prince He Qingping, his mother Concubine Zhang is not favored, but he is very good at being a man and has military merits, and more importantly, He Muhan can see that the imperial brother Ning Xianghou in front of him supports the eighth prince He Qingping.

Ning Xianghou saw that He Muhan was deep in thought, so he didn't interrupt, his expression was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was nervous in his heart, because if he was currently a prince, the eight princes he supported were the most promising, and the matter of long nights and dreams, and the matter of power inheritance was too unpredictable.

He Muhan pondered for a while and said, "In that case, General Yu and even Wei Xiangye don't support Huaixin, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out the edict of the first emperor at this juncture." Speaking of which, He Muhan already had a plan in his heart, and Yu and Wei would never support Concubine Zhang, who had been neglected for a long time, so to speak, they were all on the queen's side. But this, He Muhan didn't say it.

All kinds of thoughts came flooding, He Muhan pressed his forehead and said, "I know, you let me think about it...... Jing Xuan, go down first. ”

Ningxiang Hou wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to retreat.

He Muhan's voice came, "The prince and princess of the Canglang Department still have to be entertained well, let them study with the children of the family in the Qianran School Palace." He Muhan thought for a while and added, "My prince, the two brothers He Haochu, Huaixin, and Huaijin, and... He Qingping, let them study there. ”

Then He Muhan said something that Ning Xianghou didn't understand, "Where there are many people, you can understand." ”

Ning Xianghou took the order and left, remembered something, and said with a wry smile,

"That prince of the Canglang tribe is okay to entertain, but the princess ...... I heard that I mingle with the boys all day long. ”
