"Your Majesty kills a eunuch, that's a very common thing! What is Lord Zhang making such a fuss about? Li Chang was a little unimpressed.

"General Li, you don't know Your Majesty too well!" Zhang Bao explained: "Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted, and he has never even killed a chicken, let alone killed someone? ”

"So, has that Lord Zhang ever figured out what happened in the Hongguang Pavilion?" Shi Min asked.

Zhang Bao shook his head and said, "Not yet!" Didn't you think things were strange, so you came to Childe to discuss how to act? ”

Shi Min thought for a while and said, "With all due respect, Your Majesty seems to have changed!" So Lord Zhang just said that His Majesty had never even killed a chicken before, and that was before! Not now! ”

"What does that Childe mean?"

Shi Min smiled slightly and said: "It's not interesting, I just think that the right will change a person, what His Royal Highness King Yan didn't dare to do before, His Majesty may not dare now!" That's all, nothing else! Adults don't have to guess! ”

"Hehe, that's what Childe said!" Zhang Bao seemed to smile, and said: "It's better to enter the palace with Zai Xia tomorrow and see how the situation is." ”

"This ......" Shi Min was a little embarrassed, and said: "Tomorrow, I will take the two uncles to worship my father, why don't you go and see if you have any news, just let me know." After all, the Xihuahou Mansion has no eyeliner, and the news is closed, so it is better for Lord Zhang to have his hands and eyes open to the sky! ”

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "It's okay!" Then don't bother with it! Leave! ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he got up directly, saluted slightly, and left.

"Hey! This person turns his face faster than he turns a book, and he just leaves! Li Chang said.

Shi Min didn't say anything, but said to the two, "Let's continue to eat!" ”

"Xiao Min, I heard that this leopard is about to become prime minister, is it true?" Wang Shicheng asked.

Shi Min stopped the dishes and chopsticks and said, "It should be like this!" When His Majesty was still a prince, Zhang Bao was the first strategist of Yan Wangfu, and later risked death to rescue His Majesty from Dali Temple, this credit is greater than our victory on the battlefield! Can Your Majesty not be kind to him? ”

"Zhang Bao's face is not good! It makes people feel like they can't put it into words! Wang Shicheng frowned slightly, and said to Shi Min: "When you deal with him, you still have to pay more attention!" ”

"The little nephew understands, so just now he asked me to enter the palace together, but I didn't agree!"

"But he seems to have some displeasure in his heart!"

Shi Min smiled slightly and said, "Let him go!" ”

......

Late at night, Shi Jian sat next to the brazier and roasted the fire, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was contemplating something.

Suddenly, a man knocked lightly on the door and shouted, "Your Highness! ”

Shi Jian slowly opened his eyes and ordered, "Come in!" ”

The man gently pushed the door in, closed the door again, and then saluted Shi Jian and said, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister ordered his subordinates to bring a message." ”

"What did you say?" There was a hint of worry in Shi Jian's eyes.

"Your Excellency said that he was all right in prison, so let His Highness not read it! Shi Min and Zhang Bao had also been there as His Highness expected, but they didn't get any useful information! ”

"With the wisdom of adults, those two people should not be able to hide the secrets in the hearts of adults!" Shi Jian said unhurriedly.

"My lord has another word, I want my subordinates to convey it!" The man paused for a moment and said to Shi Jian: "Your Excellency suggests that you stay dormant in the recent period, so as not to be targeted!" ”

Shi Jian nodded slightly and said, "Even if the adults don't tell him, this king has this plan!" The end of the year is approaching, and I don't want to have another incident this year! Let the second child spend the New Year in peace! ”

After speaking, Shi Jian slowly got up and commanded: "Pass the order to go down and stop all activities!" In my opinion, Zhang Bao will not be idle these days! ”

"Your Highness's expectation is not bad! However, those who don't want to be idle are also the Xihuahou Mansion! ”

"Huh? Xihuahou Mansion? Shi Jian was a little puzzled.

"It seems that the Xihua Marquis Mansion has sent spies, just outside the Ning Wang's Mansion, there are still people staring at it now!"

"Shi Min suspected this king so quickly?" Shi Jian was a little surprised.

"Nope! His subordinates guessed that Shi Min was just casting a wide net, and he didn't know about His Highness's existence yet. ”

Shi Jian paced slowly in the house and said, "So far, you have appeared in Yecheng three times, the first time was at the beginning of the year, the second time was in Dali Temple, and the third time was on the street. ”

Shi Jian suddenly stopped and said, "It seems that Shi Min has realized that there is a force that he doesn't know exists!" ”

"Your Highness, with all due respect, Zhang Bao and Shi Min are extremely smart people, and soon they will find out about your head! Ning Wangfu can't sit still......"

Shi Jian nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "You retreat first!" ”

"Yes......"

Shi Jian sat back next to the brazier, and the words of his subordinate just now couldn't help but make him feel a little uneasy.

If you talk about Shi Shi alone, with his mind, I'm afraid that ten of him is not Shi Jian's opponent. But there are still Shi Min and Zhang Bao, which is the most taboo for Shi Jian. According to Shi Jian's original plan, it was to instigate the battle between the Qing Palace, the Yan Palace, and now Shi Zun's bones are gone, and there is only one Shi Shi left. Then what he has to do next is very simple, that is, to seek power and usurp the throne!

However, the usurpation of the throne is as difficult as ascending to the sky, and Shi Jian knows this better than anyone else. The biggest problem in front of him is the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Xihua Hou Mansion, as far as the current point of view, this is the most taboo point of Shi Jian, because it is impossible for the Xihua Hou Mansion to allow anyone to commit rebellion, which is also one of the main purposes of Shi Hu's marriage between the two parties, which is to let the Xihua Hou Mansion consolidate the imperial power.

In this way, the soldiers and horses and combat effectiveness of the patrol battalion at hand alone will not be able to achieve the climate at all, and even, in the face of Wen Cang's forbidden army, the patrol battalion may not have a chance of winning.

The cold night of Layue made it difficult to sleep, but Shi Jian's brain was unusually awake. Loneliness and darkness can be frightening, but it can also give people enough space and time to think. Over the years, Shi Jian has been conceiving his plan step by step in such countless lonely nights, not only living under Shi Hu's nose for so many years unharmed, but also cultivating his own power unknowingly.

After thinking about it, Shi Jian realized that with Shi Shi's current trust in the Xihua Marquis Mansion, the relationship between them was impeccable. But as Gao Shang said, the only way is to create contradictions between the two sides and weaken the trust between each other, so that he can take advantage of it.

After all, no matter how strong a city is, it is often broken through from within, and one of the keys to the problem is how to create contradictions and make them lose trust in each other.

The Qian people are not like the Han people, for most people, as long as there is no problem with the bloodline, it is not so important who becomes the emperor, even if it is to seek power and usurp the throne.
