At the same time, the crown prince Liu Yan was anxiously waiting for Concubine Hua's arrival in the secret room.

Located in a secluded garden in the Prince's Mansion, this secret room is ostensibly a small two-story pavilion that no one cares about. There are no flaws in the surroundings or from the inside, and only the most attentive person will find that the four rooms on the ground floor are smaller than the actual size of the building, because between them there is a hidden staircase leading to a secret room on the second floor.

Another important reason why Liu Yan chose this secret room is that it is very close to Yichun Palace, which is more convenient for Concubine Hua to enter and exit. Since Liu Yan stayed in Yichun Palace that night, Liu Yan has to meet with Concubine Hua here every three days to exchange news, and if there is an emergency, Ji Chonghai can be responsible for contacting and meeting temporarily.

At this moment, Liu Yan's anxious waiting was not so much because of any changes in the power struggle with Li Guifei, but because of his personal desires. Concubine Hua's beauty is obvious to all, Liu Yan has always coveted his concubine, if it weren't for Concubine Hua's cold arrogance that deterred him, I'm afraid he would have become his favorite. Since spending the Spring Festival with Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua's attitude has also changed, so almost every time she meets, Liu Yan can't help but linger with Concubine Hua. At this moment, Liu Yan's heart was as difficult as frying in oil, and he only hoped that Concubine Hua could come sooner.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door opening, followed by the sound of opening the secret room, followed by the sound of soft footsteps stepping upstairs.

As soon as Concubine Hua stepped into the secret room, the overjoyed Liu Yan hugged her and smiled: "Concubine Ai, you miss me to death." ”

Concubine Hua hurriedly pushed him away with her hand, and said angrily: "Your Highness is so shameless. Every time we meet, we look like we are in a hurry. If there is no serious discussion, it is better for the concubine to go back. ”

Liu Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't be angry, concubine. Hongu really thinks about it day and night, can't my own wife hug me yet? ”

Concubine Hua smacked him. He sat down sideways. In fact, Concubine Hua doesn't miss her husband, it's just that every time she meets, Liu Yan always wants to be happy with men and women, but if she is pregnant with a child at this time, then this drama of husband and wife discord for Li Guifei will be a goof. That's why she is always reluctant to tear up with Liu Yan.

After Concubine Hua sat down, she asked, "Has Your Highness made any progress in the past few days?" ”

Only then did Liu Yan put away his playful expression, and said with a straight face: "Now that the right servant shoots Yan Ming, he has completely fallen to our side, and Li Zaixing's forces have basically supported us. ”

Concubine Hua nodded: "This is a good thing, but it's a pity that as soon as Li Zaixing died, his faction's power was greatly damaged. If you want to fight Han Kemin, it will take time. ”

"That's right, yesterday the report Langzhou Taishou died in office, Han Kemin insisted on making up for the lack of his grandson Shan Ke, and when I saw the report, the province had already completed the review and handed over to the Ministry of Officials, and I didn't even have a chance to refute. Han Kemin's methods are becoming more and more blatant now. ”

Concubine Hua smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to be too angry, Nalang Prefecture is located in the south of Jingzhou, and it is not particularly rich, so it may not be a beauty difference to make up for this shortage." It is normal for Han Kemin to hope to take advantage of this opportunity to expand his power. The concubine wanted to remind His Royal Highness that An Jingbian was a person who could be reused. This person is actually the backbone of Li Zaixing's faction, if there is Yan Ming outside as a cover to withstand the suppression of Han Kemin's faction, we can just cultivate this person secretly, so that Yan Ming and An Jingbian can become two arms. It's much better than Yan Ming alone. ”

"What Concubine Ai said is very true, but I'm worried that even if we try our best to stop it, Han Kemin's power will still rise too quickly. I can't help it. ”

"This highness doesn't need to worry, the bigger his power spreads, the easier it will be to deal with."

"Oh?" Liu Yan's eyes lit up. asked, "Where did you start with Concubine Ai?" ”

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "Your Highness, please think about it, once the emperor is gone." The Queen Mother must be Concubine Li, and even if we want to stop Han Kemin, I'm afraid we will be sad to pass the Queen Mother's hurdle. Instead of this, it is better to relax the obstruction of them a little, and Han Kemin's party will definitely become more and more arrogant, so that the original neutral faction in the DPRK and China will get closer to us, and our strength can be greatly strengthened without too much effort. But this person is scheming, he has always refused to share power with others, and when he does things under his hands, as long as the power is too heavy, he will be slowly suppressed, so that his subordinates are equal to each other's power, and no one can cover him, so he can be firmly imprisoned in his current position. But there is an Achilles' heel in doing so. ”

Concubine Hua paused deliberately when she said this, Liu Yan knew that her old problem of selling guanzi had come again, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of weakness is that, please teach Concubine Ai." ”

Concubine Hua sneered and said: "Han Kemin is sixty years old this year, seventy years of life is rare, his body is far from being as strong as it seems on the surface, can he really support it for another ten years?" As long as we are prepared to prevent the emergence of a leading figure in his party, then once he is not in good health, this party will suddenly lose its backbone, and the strength of each mountain is equal, no one can think of overpowering anyone, and the bigger the plate, the easier it will be for us to break through. His party is broken, and no matter how powerful Li Guifei is, she can't make big waves. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard these words, and asked Concubine Hua again and again: "Thank you for your advice, which made me pause." I'm worried that I won't be able to curb Han Kemin's expansion, it turns out that there is still such a hand that can invisibly dissolve Han Kemin's power. Having said that, the day Han Kemin died early, the day he came a day earlier, so it didn't have to wait for the day when he died. ”

Concubine Hua said: "I advise Your Highness to stay in obscurity and wait for the opportunity, don't ruin your reputation because of temporary benefits." The way of governing the country is to put faith and righteousness first, I hope Your Highness remembers! ”

"Yes, yes, Concubine Ai is right, this palace is still too anxious."

"The most important step we have to take now is to prevent Han Kemin from getting involved with those generals who hold military power. If you can get the support of your uncle Liu Qian, then Your Highness will be equivalent to mastering the command of 300,000 troops, and two-fifths of the country's troops will be invincible if they are loyal to you, and then further control the generals of Guanzhong and Shandong, and then Shuzhong and Jingzhou, and the world's forces will be almost completely controlled. Internally, as long as we hold the military power of the two battalions in the north and south of the capital and the forbidden army, then Han Kemin will have no chance to launch a mutiny. In this way, we can stabilize the situation both inside and outside, just waiting for Han Kemin and his party to destroy themselves. As for the neutral faction, although my father has clearly not made any moves, he has secretly contacted several great families, and they are all very satisfied with the conditions proposed by His Highness, and when the autumn siege comes, my father can take advantage of the hunting time to step up his activities, and then he will be able to win the support of more neutral factions, please don't worry about this. ”

Liu Yan quietly listened to Concubine Hua talk endlessly about the strategic ambition in her heart, and every time at this time, Concubine Hua would show an excitement that could not be concealed, and her slightly flushed cheeks added a little coquettishness.

If she were a man, she would be my servant. Liu Yan thought so.

After Concubine Hua finished speaking, she saw Liu Yan's expression was different, her face turned red, and she bowed and said, "If there is no other thing to discuss today, the concubine will retire for the time being." ”

Liu Yan hurriedly took her in his arms and said, "Who said there is nothing else?" I have more important things to do. ”

After that, Liu Yan kissed Concubine Hua's cheeks and neck, and his hands probed into Concubine Hua's clothes, Concubine Hua's body trembled, and her hands made a gesture to push Liu Yan away, but Liu Yan's movements became more and more crazy. Concubine Hua was about to say the sentence "Your Highness can't" but couldn't say anything, and before she knew it, her belt had been untied by Liu Yan, and her clothes were scattered all over the place.
