General's Palace.

"Brother-in-law, it has been determined that Situ Yu did it, and many traces of the alliance academy's unique spells have been found in the process of creating the subsidence. ”

After Yang Lei finished the report, he asked, "Then will we continue to hunt him down after that?"

Hai Shou shook his head and said: "Since Situ Yu has escaped from the border of Shangwu Kingdom, then leave him alone, anyway, all the articles we should do have been done, and he is not missing." ”

Yang Lei nodded, and then smiled: "Brother-in-law is really wise, first spread his own rumors, those guys in the DPRK really followed suit, and now it is impossible to find other reasons to attack." ”

"Let's go, it's time to go to court. ”

Hai Shou smiled: "It's just a group of clowns jumping off the beam, don't worry." ”

On the day of Emperor Shangwu's death, there were rumors that Haishou and Situ Ming joined forces to rebel, one was responsible for assassinating the emperor and the other was responsible for letting go of the perpetrators.

There are many people who are unwilling to be calm have echoed this rumor and tried to attack Hai Shou, after all, now that Emperor Shangwu and Situ Ming are dead, before the six princes ascended the throne, Hai Shou was the most powerful person in the Shangwu Kingdom, and only by attacking him can we ensure that more power is distributed to others.

As a result, the next day, the news that the Situ family had been punished except for Situ Yu was transmitted back to Shangwu City, and Haishou immediately announced that the traitors had been cleared, and he would continue to support the royal family and support the six princes to ascend the throne.

The people of Shangwu City praised Haishou for his loyalty, and those who had other thoughts were suddenly dumbfounded - at this time, Haishou's public opinion had been formed, and if he came forward to attack Haishou at this time, he would only be sprayed to death by the saliva of the people.

So they could only watch Hai Shou take the greatest credit and continue to sit firmly in the position of the general.

......

The entrance of the Han Mansion.

As soon as Han Guangyi, who was in the dust, stepped down from the carriage, he ran into the mansion in three steps and two steps, leaving Steward Feng behind.

"Madame!"

Han Guangyi, who looked anxious, walked into the room and went straight to Mrs. Han, who was sitting on the bed half-leaning on the bed frame.

Mrs. Han, Han Yuyi, who was feeding Mrs. Han, and Haiyao, who was standing aside, all looked at Han Guangyi at the same time.

"Sir. ”

"Daddy. ”

"Uncle Han. ”

Han Guangyi didn't respond to Han Yuyi and Haiyao, he seemed to only see Mrs. Han in his eyes, and walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

Han Yuyi stood up with the soup bowl in her hand - in the next time, she will be a child without a father and a mother for the time being, this kind of thing has been experienced too many times, and she is used to it.

Han Guangyi grabbed Mrs. Han's somewhat cold hand and asked distressedly, "Madam, are you okay?"

"Sir, I'm fine. ”

Mrs. Han looked at Han Guangyi's haggard face, and said with the same distress: "Master, you are tired these days. ”

Han Guangyi shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired." But you, why don't you pay attention to your body, you are sick. ”

Mrs. Han shook her head: "I'm fine, the doctor said that as long as you take the medicine on time and rest well, you will recover soon." ”

Han Guangyi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, take medicine well." ”

Then he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at Han Yui.

"Daddy?"

Han Yui was surprised, this was the first time that Han Guangyi noticed her so quickly.

But in the next second, she knew that she was wrong, Han Guangyi took the soup bowl in her hand, and then said to Mrs. Han: "Madam, I'll feed you medicine first." ”

Mrs. Han nodded shyly.

Haiyao and Han Yuyi glanced at each other, then Han Yuyi shrugged helplessly, then pointed to the table and chair, and said silently: "It's probably going to take a while, let's sit down and wait first." ”

Hai Yao nodded in understanding, and the two of them immediately walked to the side and sat down.

Finally, Mrs. Han finished drinking the medicine, Han Guangyi put down the soup bowl and asked, "Madam, why did you suddenly get sick, if Lao Feng hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known." ”

Mrs. Han sighed and did not speak.

Han Yuyi came over and hugged Mrs. Han and said, "Three days ago, you went out after hearing the news of Uncle Situ and them, and when my mother heard the news, she fell ill after being too grief-stricken. ”

Han Yuyi's tone became sad as she spoke: "Dad, have you found Brother Situ?"

Han Guangyi sighed and said, "I didn't find Xiao Yu, but there is news that Xiao Yu has fled from Shangwu Kingdom, and I also asked my friends to help me keep an eye on Xiao Yu's news." ”

"I hope Brother Situ is doing well. ”

Han Yui couldn't help but shed tears after speaking.

Haiyao on the side was also in tears.

Watching his father and mother die in front of his eyes and become alone overnight, how sad and helpless would Brother Situ be?

The four of them were silent.

......

Shangwu Palace, the main hall of parliament.

"The new emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow, do you have any objections to this?"

Haishou said and looked at the civil and military officials.

At this time, an official spoke: "Your Majesty has only been dead for a few days, so it's not good to let the new emperor ascend the throne so soon? And whether the six princes can be the kings of a country can only be decided after sacrifice." ”

It was Wang Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who spoke the most about the etiquette system, and Wang Ming, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was even more so. Wang Ming has always been very dislike the soldiers who like to do things without moving, but because Hai Shou's official rank is higher than him, he is not good at working against Hai Shoutai.

This time, because of Situ Ming's accident, Emperor Shangwu asked Wang Ming to temporarily act as prime minister, and he was on an equal footing with Haishou all of a sudden.

Although Hai Shou didn't like it in his heart, he still smiled and said to Wang Ming: "It turned out to be Lord Wang, what you said is very reasonable, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is better to complete the new emperor's accession to the throne as soon as possible." ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "No matter how urgent the matter is, you should do it according to the rules left by your ancestors." In my opinion, it is better to delay the new emperor's accession to the throne. ”

The officials present also began to talk about it.

Hai Shou frowned, and then said coldly: "Lord Wang, can it be said that according to what you see, even if the Caesar Kingdom has hit our border now, we will have to wait for a new emperor to be established in accordance with the rules before sending troops?"

"What! Caesar's Kingdom is calling again?"

"Didn't you just finish fighting? Why did you fight again?"

The officials were discussing, Wang Ming frowned, and asked, "General Hai, is Caesar really starting a war again?"

Haishou snorted and said: "This is a military secret, and it is going to be announced tomorrow after the new emperor ascends the throne, but since everyone has opinions on the new emperor's accession to the throne, I have to make it clear to everyone first." ”

"The invasion of Caesar is already a fact, and we need to determine the new emperor now to stabilize the people's hearts, otherwise when the news of Caesar's invasion reaches the people, and our country still does not have a person in charge, it is easy to cause chaos. ”

Wang Ming's face was a little ugly, and then he said, "Even so. Whether it will be succeeded by the six princes or not has to be determined by sacrifice. ”

Hai Shou sneered: "Lord Wang, are you joking? The sacrifice has to choose a good day and an auspicious day, do you think we still have this time now? Besides, now the royal family still has the right to inherit, only the six princes and the tenth prince, now that the war is ahead, do we want to choose a six-year-old child to be the new emperor?"

"Yes, the Ten Princes are still too young. ”

"The six princes have been leading troops to fight all these years, and if the six princes are the new emperors, the people will be more at ease. ”

Wang Mingtie blushed and did not speak again.

Hai Shou asked loudly, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

All the officials were silent.

"In that case, the new emperor's enthronement will be held tomorrow, retire from the dynasty!"

......

Hanfu, study.

Han Guangyi frowned and looked at the golden letter paper in his hand.

Steward Feng asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"An invitation came from the palace to attend the ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement. ”

Han Guangyi said: "The person who came is not good. ”

Steward Feng was surprised: "Master, you have a holiday with the new emperor?"

Han Guangyi shook his head and said, "It's not because of the new emperor, but because of Haishou." ”

Steward Feng was puzzled: "General Hai, sir, aren't you an old acquaintance with General Hai, and you have a holiday with him?"

Han Guangyi said: "There is no festival, but with my understanding of this sea general, he will most likely force me to stand in line at the enthronement ceremony." The new emperor will succeed to the throne, the prime minister will commit treason, and the big and small forces will be reshuffled. ”

"It stands to reason that the new emperor will not invite people from the people to succeed to the throne, but he actually asked the people in the palace to invite me, probably because he took a fancy to my influence and wanted to unite me to fight for more benefits. ”

Steward Feng said: "Master, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, you will also get some benefits." ”

Han Guangyi sighed: "Lao Feng, although you have been by my side for many years, your vision is not far-sighted enough. I am a businessman, and I am making money, and for businessmen, connections are more important than short-term benefits, because there are many opportunities to make money. ”

"But if you join this competition, although you will win a lot of short-term benefits, you will inevitably offend many forces and lose the possibility of cooperating with these forces in the future. ”

Steward Feng suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”

Han Guangyi sighed: "There is another point, Haishou supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, and the new emperor naturally looked towards him. In the past, he still had to look at the emperor's face and was constrained by Brother Situ, but now these obstacles are gone. With his character, he will act more domineering and aggressive. ”

"Cooperation is also to choose the object, even if the person who cooperates is very strong, but if he lacks a sense of win-win, domineering, greedy, he is not suitable to be a partner, once you lose the use value, he will swallow you without hesitation. ”

After Han Guangyi finished speaking, he remembered the tragic situation of the Situ family, and couldn't help but clench his hands again.

You can find the Situ family who broke away from Shangwu City overnight, this action is too fast, as if you have been prepared for it in advance.

......

Shangwu Palace. Enthronement ceremony.

Yang Lei quietly reported to Haishou: "Brother-in-law, Han Guangyi rejected our invitation, saying that he was just a businessman and it was inconvenient to attend this kind of occasion. ”

"This person seems to be still angry with me about the affairs of the Situ family. ”

Hai Shou sneered: "What a short-sighted person, you have to look forward as a person, those old feelings are nothing." ”

"That Han Guangyi, how can you be as far-sighted as your brother-in-law. ”

Yang Lei flattered: "The six princes have agreed, and they will give you brother-in-law the generalissimo of the country, ranking as a superb." ”

Hai Shou smiled: "Okay, Yang Lei, are you willing to take the position of general?"

Yang Lei was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed: "I will never let my brother-in-law down!"

"Okay, you'll help me with something tomorrow. ”

A smile appeared on Haishou's face.

The next day, the news of the new emperor's official accession to the throne reached the Han Mansion, and at the same time, Yang Lei, who had become a general, arrived.

"Is there something about General Yang's coming?"

Han Guangyi looked at Yang Lei solemnly.

Haiyao on the side looked at Yang Lei with hatred, this is the younger brother of the former general's daughter, and he is all the way to Haikang.

"Boss Han is really well-informed,"

Yang Lei smiled: "I was only appointed as a general last night, and the military department has not officially released the information." ”

"Han has nothing else, but he has more friends. ”

Han Guangyi smiled, and inadvertently reminded the other party of his own strength - his intuition told him that Yang Lei came with bad intentions this time.

Yang Lei smiled, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "The traitor Situ Yu once hijacked Hai Yao to escape, and now his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

"Summoning me?"

Hai Yao was stunned.

"Summoning Haiyao!?"

Han Guangyi frowned. He knew very well that Haishou's purpose was not to arrest Situ Yu, nor was he to use this as an excuse to discipline his son. The real purpose behind it is to bow his head and take the initiative to talk to him about cooperation.

"Can't wait yet?"

Han Guangyi regretted it, in fact, he had thought about sending Hai Yao and Han Yuyi out of Shangwu City first yesterday and going directly to the Alliance Academy. However, at that time, he was lucky, thinking that Haishou should not be so excessive, and it seemed that he still underestimated this person's appearance.

"What? Could it be that Hai Yao refuses to cooperate with the investigation?"

Yang Lei said with a hint of arrogance: "In the previous pursuit operation, Hai Yao seemed to have a bit of a meaning of protecting the traitor and blocking our pursuit, could it be said that Hai Yao had colluded with the traitor? ”

After Yang Lei finished speaking, he motioned to the soldiers behind him to take Haiyao away.

"Wait, you can't just take people away like this!"

Han Guangyi hurriedly stopped the soldiers who were about to move forward

"Boss Han, are you trying to shield the suspect?"

Yang Lei said domineeringly: "I must take Haiyao away today, you can't stop it." ”

"I'm going to see how you're going to take the students of our Alliance Academy. ”

A cold voice rang out, and then a circular earthen wall rose from the ground, surrounding all the soldiers.

The soldiers subconsciously attacked the earthen wall with the spears in their hands, and as soon as the spears pierced, a rock spear immediately pierced out of the earthen wall and hit the soldiers' foreheads. Of the fifty soldiers, twenty-three made an attacking motion, exactly twenty-three rock spears against their foreheads, without exception.

Yang Lei swallowed his saliva with difficulty and looked at the two people who fell from the sky. One is the one I've seen before, the Earth Walking Sage Nie Yuanhua, and the other is a woman I've never seen before, with a cold face, but the weird thing is that I obviously saw her face, but I couldn't recall it in my mind.

Yang Lei said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding at this time, please ask the sage to put away the spell, we are just acting on orders." ”

Nie Yuanhua said coldly: "Say, why do you want to take away the students of our Alliance Academy?"

"We are on the orders of the Generalissimo of the Protectorate to ask Haiyao to assist in the investigation. ”

Yang Lei wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Speaking of which, I am still Haiyao's uncle, we have no malicious intentions." ”

Hai Yao shouted, "You're not my uncle!"

Nie Yuanhua said in a mocking tone: "It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate and tell the truth." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the cold woman.

The cold woman nodded, closed her eyes, and then opened and glared at Yang Lei suddenly.

Yang Lei's body trembled, and then his expression became dull.

As if he had expected it, Nie Yuanhua asked, "Answer me again now, why did you take away the students of our Alliance Academy?"

Yang Lei said mechanically: "Brother-in-law, he hopes that Han Guangyi will take the initiative to talk to him about cooperation, so he asked us to take Haiyao away." ”。

"Okay, next question. ”

Nie Yuanhua's eyes flashed: "What's the matter with the Situ family's treason?"

Yang Lei opened his mouth: "Yes......"

"Yang Lei!"

A loud shout sounded, Yang Lei woke up suddenly, and he was suddenly afraid. At that moment, he couldn't control himself at all, and what he said was true. If it weren't for Haishou waking himself up, he would definitely tell the secret.

Haishou strode forward and said to the soldiers, "There's nothing to do with you here, retreat first." ”

Then he looked at Yang Lei, "snorted", and said, "You also step down." ”

Yang Lei hurriedly took the soldiers away, he didn't dare to look at the cold woman again, if he really told the secret, Haishou would definitely take his own life.

"You're the Sea General? Oh, no, according to what the general said, you should be called Marshal the Sea. ”

Nie Yuanhua said: "Marshal Hai should know very well about the matter of the little apprentice Situ Yu, right? I don't know if you can tell me about it, I just rushed back to Shangwu Country from the Alliance Academy, and I heard the news that all the Situ family had been killed, so I specially came to Shangwu City to verify it." ”

In the end, Nie Yuanhua already had a trace of anger in his words, his apprentice's life and death were uncertain now, and he had to give an explanation to Shang Wuguo.

Hai Shou said coldly: "Situ Yu kidnapped the prince and the prince to blackmail the emperor to release him, and later assassinated the emperor and defected, this is something that the entire Shangwu Kingdom knows, sage, you can just find someone to ask." ”

Before Nie Yuanhua could speak, the cold woman took a step forward, and then her hair was windless, and her eyes were even more terrifying.

Haishou was unmoved.

The next moment, blood overflowed from the corner of the cold woman's mouth, and the whole person seemed to have been hit by something, and the whole person took several steps back, and the flying hair also fell.

"Spirit Dance!"

Nie Yuanhua hurriedly stepped forward to help the cold woman. And Lingwu himself stared at Haishou unwillingly, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth.

"It has been confirmed just now that the traitor Situ Yu has escaped from Shangwu Country and his whereabouts are unknown, so there is no need to summon Hai Yao for questioning. ”

Haishou said: "Later, I will send the wanted warrant to the capital of the Alliance, and it will be wanted throughout the Alliance Empire. If you see Situ Yu in the future, please be sure to kill your relatives and arrest him. ”

"You!"

Nie Yuanhua was angry and wanted to make a move. Spirit Dance quickly grabbed him and shook her head at him. Nie Yuanhua clenched his hands into fists and looked at Haishou angrily, but he didn't make a move after all.

"Ben Shuai has just taken office, and the government affairs are still very busy, so I won't bother, goodbye. ”

Haishou turned around and left.

It's just that everyone didn't see it, and Hai Shou, who turned around, showed an inexplicable evil smile on his face.
