Han Ruzi got dressed and waited for departure, feeling a little bored, and asked Yang Feng: "Some things obviously have a lot of benefits, why is no one willing to do them?" ”

Yang Feng stood in front of the bookshelf, turned around, and held a glass of wine in his hand, "Because the disadvantages always appear with the good, let's talk about what is going on first." ”

"There are many people in the world, I suggest that the general absorb the displaced people and feed the people with official food, which can not only calm the civil strife, but also strengthen the strength, but the king of the East China Sea said to me that the general is afraid of trouble, but he only agrees with it on the surface, and will never really do it."

"The King of the East China Sea is right, the general will not take in the displaced people, but he is not afraid of trouble, but he is afraid of suspicion."

"Suspicion?"

"The people's heart is the world's most important weapon, like a treasure knife, the owner of the knife can play with it at will, children can also touch it, at most they will be reprimanded, others touch, they will inevitably be suspicious, if it is an ordinary person, everyone may laugh at him for not measuring his own strength, if it is a master who has practiced martial arts - even if it is just a second look, it will inevitably be considered by everyone as having ulterior motives."

"The people's heart is a heavy weapon, the general is an important minister of the clan, the higher the status, the more dare not do things, and the more dare not 'touch' the people's heart?"

Yang Feng nodded.

"Hey, Da Chu is in turmoil, the Han family is in danger, he dares to call the children of the clan to rebel against the champion Hou, but he doesn't dare to absorb the exiles?"

"The rebellion against the champion Hou is carried out in secret, but the co-optation of the displaced people must be made public. Also using the sword metaphor, the general made a treasure knife, but he hoped that others would use this knife to kill, not himself. ”

"He found the King of the East Sea, and the King of the East Sea found me." Han Ruzi sneered, he had already understood this truth, "When I wield a knife to 'kill', they will take the knife back." ”

"Anyway, let's get the knife in our hands first." Yang Feng said flatly that the general's support was necessary, even if he had ulterior motives, the tired marquis had to accept it, at least temporarily.

Fu Cheng came in and said in a trembling voice: "Tired Hou, there is a ...... from the palace."

"Got it, I'll get out right away."

Fu Cheng retired, silently praying that he would not be implicated.

Han Ruzi stood up, picked up a bamboo bookmark from the desk, put it in his sleeve, and walked out of the study with Yang Feng one after the other, Du Chuanyun greeted him, "Don't you really need an escort?" ”

"You can't bring an escort when you enter the palace." Han Ruzi said.

"It's a good chance to catch all of you." Du Chuanyun spoke straight, and the so-called "these people" referred to several descendants of the Han family who were interested in competing for the throne.

Han Ruzi smiled and did not stop.

There are two sedan chairs parked outside, and Han Ruzi prefers to ride horses, but the sedan chairs are also good, and you can sit inside and think alone.

Several eunuchs and more than a dozen palace guards escorted the sedan chair, all the way to the palace, the homeless people have not affected the capital, there are many pedestrians on the street, and there are still New Year's decorations everywhere, but the enthusiasm is no longer there, showing the fatigue after the hangover.

The meeting place was not in the inner city of the palace, but in one of the rows of duty rooms near the Qinzheng Palace, where the ministers of parliament sometimes stayed when they could not leave the palace after dark.

The room is not big, empty, not only there is no bed, there are no tables, chairs and benches, and those who come can only stand, which solves a small trouble, there is no dignity and humility, and everyone does not need to rank.

The King of the East China Sea has arrived, and although he claims that he does not trust the Qi Seeker, the "military advisor" he brought is still Lin Kunshan. The king of the East China Sea nodded at the ruzi and didn't say anything, but Lin Kunshan stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and whispered: "Lin said goodbye in the Broken Iron City, hoping to forgive his sins." ”

"What is the sin of following the trend?" Han Ruzi smiled, and Lin Kunshan smiled and retreated to the side of the East China Sea King.

Champion Hou arrived quickly, and he only brought one person, and as soon as he entered the house, he greeted Han Ruzi and the King of the East China Sea, greeting him with a smile on his face, without the slightest hostility - this is the generosity of those who have the chance to win.

Han Ruzi returned the salute normally, but the King of the East China Sea pretended not to see it, he really couldn't forget that the champion Hou and Cui Taifu had teamed up to get rid of him.

Champion Hou's military advisor is also a qi seeker, Yang introduced to Han Ruzi before the service, this person's name is Lu Congxin, like other qi seekers, he can't tell the specific age from his face, any age above thirty is possible, the only difference is that his expression is more serious, not as easy-going as Lin Kunshan and others.

"The guests have arrived, but where is the host?" The King of the East Sea shouted.

The door opened, and two more people entered, a child of seven or eight years old, and an old man with white hair.

The child had a chubby face, didn't greet anyone, ran around as soon as he entered the floor, and finally stood in the corner, looking up at the room full of adults.

The old man bowed his hand to everyone and said with a smile: "One step late, you Haihan." ”

"Who are you?" The East Sea King asked in surprise.

"Under Yuan Zifan, Mr. Lin and Mr. Lu are all disciples of Chun Yu's master."

Another lookout, Han Ruzi, the East Sea King, and the champion Hou all looked at the strange child in the corner.

Yuan Zifan, a qi aspirant, walked up to the child and introduced: "This is the youngest son of Emperor Wu, who was named the king of England and kept secret. ”

The three of them were all stunned, King Han Qiang, this kid was actually their uncle.

Han Qi stood against the wall and didn't speak, but his expression was not too scared.

"He's going to fight for the throne too?" Champion Hou couldn't help but speak.

"The son of Emperor Wu, he should be qualified." Yuan Zifan said with a smile.

"There are a lot of sons of Emperor Wu, can they all compete for the throne?" The King of the East China Sea was furious, Emperor Huan's orthodox status had been broken, but he didn't expect to be stepped on again.

"It should be all right, but as far as I know, among the sons of Emperor Wu, only King Ying is interested in competing for the throne."

"This ...... This ......" The King of the East China Sea glared at Lin Kunshan fiercely, blaming him for keeping it secret in advance, Lin Kunshan looked helpless, saying that he didn't know, and the King of the East China Sea finally came up with a reason to object, "When today's son is the grandson of Emperor Wu, the successor can only be an equal or a junior, how can there be a reason to choose an elder?" How to arrange the position in the temple in the future? ”

Elder Han Qi made up his mind not to speak, pouting his lips and spitting bubbles. Yuan Zifan guarded his side and said with a smile: "The elders succeeded to the throne, there was a precedent in the previous dynasty, as for the placement of the tablet in the Taimiao, it was a long time later, and there was always a way to solve it." ”

The King of the East China Sea and Lin Kunshan, the champion Hou and Lu Congxin respectively bowed their heads and whispered to discuss, Han Ruzi and Yang Feng glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

After a while, the champion Hou said: "The competition for the position is an extraordinary move, and if the King wants to participate, it is necessary." What about Chun Yushi? Why haven't you shown up yet? ”

"And what about the ministers of the DPRK and China? Isn't there one? The King of the East Sea asked.

The door opened again, and it was the fisherman who entered.

"The minister wants to avoid suspicion, so he will not attend this gathering." The angler laughed.

"Mr. Huangfu." Champion Hou obviously recognized this person and was very polite.

"Won't Chun Yu Xiao come?" The East China Sea King Road.

"Chun Yu Xiao is a name that has been used in the next, and his real name is Huang Fuyi."

The King of the East China Sea looked at the other party a few times, "Don't be blind, I've seen Chun Yuxiao, who looks different from you, at least he doesn't have a beard." ”

Before the palace change, the Cui family once received a Chun Yu Xiao and his disciple Bu Yuru, and the king of the East China Sea will not forget that Chun Yu Xiao claimed to be castrated, and once declared to the Confucian scholar Luo Huanzhang that he wanted to be an emperor without descendants to drag him down.

Huang Fuyi smiled: "Chun Yu Xiao is just a name, anyone can use it." ”

"But there is only one Chun Yuxiao who can be a 'teacher'." The king of the East Sea said.

Lin Kunshan, Lu Congxin, and Yuan Zifan stood in different positions, and at this time bowed to Huangfuyi at the same time, "Disciple to meet the teacher." ”

Han Ruzi looked at Yang Feng beside him, Yang Feng was expressionless, and he still didn't seem to approve of this "Chun Yu Xiao".

"What about the Chun Yu Xiao before? Where did you go? "The King of the East China Sea is not dead yet.

"He is also one of my disciples, the more commonly used name is Lin Qianfeng, it is a pity that he was arrested by the government the year before last, tortured, and died in prison, the name used at that time was Zhang Kehong."

King Qi's rebellion failed, the government went around arresting the hopeful, after the palace change, it was even more cast, many people just made a living from fortune-telling, they were arrested as hopeful, and few people were released from prison alive.

A year later, the hopeful became a distinguished guest in the palace, making the Queen Mother obey them.

The King of the East China Sea rolled his eyes and sighed: "It's a pity, I have a good impression of that Chun Yuxiao, don't get me wrong, Mr. Lin, even if he is still alive, I will choose you as a military advisor." ”

Lin Kunshan just smiled.

The King of the East China Sea probably thought that the atmosphere was tense, and smiled at Yang Feng: "Yang Feng, you have caught a lot of hopeful people at the beginning, right?" ”

"I rarely catch them alive, and most of them are summarily executed." Yang Feng said coldly, "It's a pity that the time is too short, and I can't clean it up." ”

After Yang Feng left the palace, he lost the power and manpower to hunt down the Qi Seekers, and after that, the Qi Seekers gradually reappeared.

The four celebrities in the room were not angry, or smiled, or remained silent, and Huang Fuyi said: "All things in heaven and earth are all taking advantage of the situation, the momentum has gone, everything has fallen, and the momentum borrowed by Yang Gong has gone, don't regret it." ”

Yang Feng didn't squeak anymore, his eyes looked away, and he planned to just listen and not speak.

The king of the East China Sea muttered in a low voice: "Say 'castration' in front of the eunuch, hehe......"

Huang Fuyi opened his mouth and said: "People have arrived at the ......."

"Wait." Han Ruzi interrupted the Qi Seeker and looked left and right, "People haven't gathered yet, what about today?" What about the Queen Mother? Without them, it's useless for us to stand here and say anything. ”

"That's right." The King of the East Sea chimed in, "Can't you decide who will succeed you, right?" ”

Huang Fuyi smiled: "It's my fault." With that, he raised his hand and slapped it twice.

The door opened again, and a group of palace maids entered, standing side by side in the middle, a total of six people, all holding trays, each with two seals on it.

"Your Majesty is sick, and the Queen Mother is taking care of her, so she can't come, so she has sent twelve emperor's seals to show her intentions, do you think it's okay?"

The four contenders came over to inspect it, and the king of England was short, so he asked Yuan Zifan to hold himself and reach out to touch the seal, but was stopped by Yuan Zifan.

There are a total of twelve emperor's seals, each with different uses, Han Ruzi only recognizes one, the most important one, the one that can be used to issue holy decrees.

He saw that the treasure seal was on the tray of a palace maid.

He looked at Yang Feng again, and felt that the real Chun Yu Xiao must be one of the four prestige people. (To be continued.) )
