An Guogong coughed for a while, took out a black brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the corners of his mouth, Hu Bufan helped An Guogong, and still seemed puzzled: "Old Guogong, the saint is doing this, why is that?" ”

"Master Hu, you are in charge of the household department, you are a shrewd person, why can't you figure it out?" An Guogong sighed lightly: "Without today's assessment, if the Holy Lord easily transfers Chu Huan to the household department, who will be convinced by the military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?" Today, Chu Huan passed the martial arts assessment in the Iron Blood Garden, at least in everyone's eyes, Chu Huan can be regarded as a martial arts all-rounder, and then transfer Chu Huan to the household department at this time, even if some people will be dissatisfied in their hearts, but compared to directly rewarding them in the Guangming Palace, it can eliminate most people's doubts, and Chu Huan can also seal the mouths of many people because of today's skills. ”

Hu Bufan said: "Isn't it a bit risky to be like this? Fortunately, Chu Huan has passed today, if he can't pass it today, wouldn't the previous plan of the saint be wasted? ”

"Of course not." An Guogong shook his head and said: "If you can pass, the saint will naturally be satisfied, if you can't pass, then the saint will not care about Chu Huan, let alone reuse Chu Huan." Today's assessment, whether it is strong or not, whether it is weak or not, is under the control of the saint, if Chu Huan can't even pass today's assessment, then he is not worthy of doing errands for the saint. ”

"I see!" Hu Bufan understood, and sighed: "The old prince is extraordinarily wise, and the lower officials finally understand it now!" ”

"What do you understand?"

"Xia Guan understands that the Holy Lord intends to reuse Chu Huan, and he has long made up his mind to let Chu Huan enter the household department."

An Guogong smiled indifferently and asked, "Then why did the Holy Lord arrange for Chu Huan to enter the household department, have you ever understood?" Chu Huan is just a guard general in Yunshan Mansion, and I have a lot of talents in Great Qin, but why did the Holy Lord choose Chu Huan alone, have you ever figured this out? ”

Hu Bufan frowned, groaned slightly, and then sighed lightly: "Old Guogong, I can't hide it, even now, the lower officials can't figure out what the Holy Lord means." ”

An Guogong sighed: "The saint is the most shrewd person in the world, his words and deeds are far-reaching, this time he spent his heart and made a big move, of course, it will not be just to promote a small Yunshan Mansion guard!" ”

Hu Bufan nodded and said, "Xiaguan thinks the same." The head of the household branch is an important position, and it is indeed unusual for the saint to transfer Chu Huan to this position. ”

An Guogong's expression became grim, and he muttered to himself: "Is the Holy Lord preparing to kill three birds with one stone......!" ”

"Three birds with one stone?" Hu Bufanqi said: "Why does the old man say this? What are the three eagles of this arrow? ”

An Guogong glanced at Hu Bufan and said lightly: "Although the saint has been obsessed with cultivation and immortality in the past few years, it seems that he rarely deals with state affairs, but the state affairs of Great Qin are all in the heart of the saint, up and down the court, and in every corner, they are also in the eyes of the saint. Let's get close to His Royal Highness the King of Han, do you think the Holy Lord will not know? ”

Hu Bufan said: "Old Guogong, what do you mean, do you mean that the saint's action this time is to be unfavorable to the King of Han?" Wei Yi groaned, shook his head and said, "This ...... Probably impossible, right? ”

"Why can't it?" An Guogong is calm and relaxed.

Hu Bufan looked around again, the two of them were walking on a small road at this time, and no one came close to them, so he couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "The old prince knows that the saint has already moved the idea of abolishing the prince, how can the prince rule the world?" In the past few years, the saint has delegated power to the king of Han, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is intended to cultivate His Royal Highness the King of Han, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is a matter of time before the saint abolishes the prince, the prince is abolished, the country must not have a prince, and the prince must be set up, this prince's position, of course, is none other than the king of Han! ”

"Do you think it's going to be the King of Han?"

"Nature." Hu Bufan is full of confidence in this, "The king of Han is martial, and the corporal is virtuous, his talent is outstanding, and the saint is above the court, but he has praised the talent of the king of Han several times, but he is gradually becoming cold to the prince, and the heart of the saint is no longer known." ”

"The Sacred Heart is like the sea, it will never be what you think." An Guogong staggered, shook his head and sighed: "Whoever thinks that he can see through the heart of the saint is very wrong. Even the old man has always thought that the saint intends to pass on the throne of Han, until today, the old man has judged like this, but today's iron-blooded assessment of Chu Huan, the old man felt that everything before was wrong. ”

"Wrong?" Hu Bufan was slightly shocked: "Old Guogong, what's wrong?" ”

"It's all wrong." An Guogong looked very haggard: "What we think in our hearts is the heart of ordinary people after all, and the saint is very human, who can really see through his thoughts." ”

Hu Bufan narrowed his eyes and groaned slightly, as if he understood something, and his eyes showed a trace of horror: "Old Guogong, could it be that the saint has no intention of passing on the throne to the king of Han?" ”

An Guogong shook his head and said, "The old man is already confused." After a pause, he said softly: "Judging from the clues in the past few years, it seems that the saint really wants to pass the throne to the king of Han, if it weren't for the princelings' efforts to maintain it, the old man would have thought that the saint would have been abolished long ago." Although the princelings still have some strength, the old man also thinks that within a year or two years at the latest, the saint will be abolished. But today's scene of Chu Huan made the old man's previous judgment all wrong. ”

"What does Chu Huan have to do with it?"

"You must know that Chu Huan is the person of King Qi." An Guogong said lightly: "The old man has already found out that Chu Huan is just a guard general in Yunshan Mansion, but this little guard general has done a lot of great things. The King of Qi was assassinated in Yunshan Mansion and almost died, it was Chu Huan who saved the life of the King of Qi ......! ”

Hu Bufan frowned and said: "Old Guogong, the officials have heard a little about this matter. As far as the lower officials knew, the commander of Yunshan Mansion made Luo Shiheng also involved in his ......! There was anger on his face: "Luo Shiheng is blinded by lard, how can he do such a thing?" Xiang An Guogong whispered: "Old Guogong, Luo Shiheng District Commander, how dare he be so crazy, is it ......!" ”

An Guogong shook his head and did not speak.

Hu Bufan said: "I'm afraid that this matter will drag down His Royal Highness the King of Han......!" ”

"At this time, I have my own plans, so I shouldn't say more." An Guogong shook his head and said, "King Qi can survive, this Chu Huan is indeed indispensable. As far as the old man knew, Chu Huan was able to enter Beijing and was summoned by the saint because King Qi recommended him several times in front of the saint. ”

Hu Bufan said softly: "Chu Huan is the person of the King of Qi, and the saint reuses Chu Huan's ......!" His face sank, and he lost his voice and said: "Old Guogong, could it be that Chu Huan was reused because of the King of Qi?" ”

"You don't have to ask." An Guogong bowed slightly: "Promoting Chu Huan is actually promoting King Qi, which must be known." ”

Hu Bufan sneered: "King Qi is just an ignorant naughty boy, even if Chu Huan is his person, can he still make a name for himself." ”

An Guogong glanced at Hu Bufan and said: "Don't you forget, King Qi has already been crowned king, and it stands to reason that he should go out of the palace to open a mansion, when the King of Han was sixteen years old, he left the palace to open a mansion, but until today, the king of Qi still lives in the palace, don't you think there is anything wrong with this?" ”

Hu Bufan was stunned.

An Guogong narrowed his eyes and said: "For so many years, the King of Qi has no power and no power, no one will think that he has the ability to take on the Great Qin River...... But after that happened, Xuan Xiang gradually fell out of favor, but His Royal Highness the King of Han gradually showed his edge, over the years, the prince and the King of Han stood on two feet, but today, the old man suddenly remembered that the saint now does not have only two sons. ”

Hu Bufan exclaimed: "Old Guogong, could it be that the Holy Lord will ......!" Feeling that his voice was too loud, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Could it be that the Holy Lord will pass on the throne to King Qi?" This...... How is this possible? ”

An Guogong pondered for a moment before he said softly: "The saint has promoted the king of Han in the past few years, who dares to say that it is not to let the king of Han compete with the crown prince and maintain the balance of the dynasty?" The art of the emperor is in balance, the courtiers must be balanced, and the prince must also be balanced. The crown prince competed with the king of Han, and the king of Qi stayed in the palace, which may not have the intention of protecting the king of Qi. ”

Hu Bufan couldn't help but clench his fists and sneered: "The King of Han is eloquent, how can he be compared to a naughty boy like King Qi?" Great Qin, except for His Royal Highness the King of Han, who can afford it? ”

An Guogong shook his head and said: "Who is brave in this country, it is not you and me who have the final say, in the whole world, only the saint has the final say." ”

"Even if this is the case, there is no one available around King Qi at all, what is the use of just one Chu Huan?" Hu Bufan sneered: "Chu Huan entered my household department, under the nose of the lower official, I want to see what tricks he can toss?" As long as there is a slight mistake, the lower officials will definitely let him never recover. ”

An Guogong sighed: "There are hundreds of official positions in the court, and the Holy General Chu Huan arranged to enter the household department, do you think it is just a temporary idea?" ”

When Hu Bufan heard An Guogong's words, he felt a little chill in the soles of his feet under the warm sunshine.

"The old man said that this step is very likely to kill three birds with one stone." An Guogong said solemnly: "First, it may be to cultivate henchmen for King Qi, and secondly, it is very likely to use Chu Huan's hand to make trouble in the household department, you must understand that the household department has always been the power of His Royal Highness the King of Han, what is the purpose of arranging the people of the King of Qi to the sphere of influence of the King of Han?" This is the third...... Hehe, there are a lot of things in the household department that the old man is taking care of, and the saint is not thinking about preparing to deal with the old man, right? ”

Hu Bufan hurriedly said: "Old Guogong, this is too much to worry about. The saint has great trust in the old country, Xuanyuan Pingzhang has fought with the old country for many years, and the saint is not biased towards the old country in the end, and now Xuanyuan Pingzhang has no name and power, and the old country is not the same, which also shows the saint's trust in the old country. ”

An Guogong sighed: "The sacred heart is like the sea, and we will never be able to guess his old man's thoughts." He said softly: "Chu Huan has entered the household department, you have to be cautious, there is no chance of nirvana, don't act rashly." ”

Hu Bufan nodded and said, "Xia Guan understands, the old man can rest assured." Suddenly, he said: "Hey, isn't that Feng Yuanpo?" ”

An Guogong looked over and saw a eunuch leading a person over, that person was tall and big, dressed in official uniform, although there was only a eunuch around him, but that person seemed to be very respectful to the eunuch, bent his body, cautious, and came head-on.
