Returning to the palace overnight, Meng Qiu couldn't take a break, and while nibbling on steamed buns, he pulled King Yan to the study and began to plan for the preparation of the heir.

"Unless you plan to mutiny and compete for the throne, the support of the emperor and hundreds of officials is the two most important prerequisites for you to ascend the throne and become the emperor," Meng Qiu said with a serious face, when it came to his own work and the great cause of revenge, he became extremely serious.

"You? Well, if you want to know anything, just ask! This king knows everything and says everything" looked at Meng Qiu who was a little unbelievable and judged the two before, King Yan was stunned for a while and said.

According to the report of the spies in the palace, King Yan was almost 100% sure that Meng Qiu and his party had completely solved the crisis they were facing tonight and proved their strength, although the specific solution was unknown, but they were indeed people who could be trusted.

"Could this kid be sick in the head? Suffering from heart loss? Another day, he has to find a doctor to help him take a good look," King Yan said secretly in his heart.

Meng Qiu didn't know what King Yan was thinking, and now all his energy was focused on one thing: preparing a strategic plan, starting the pace of helping King Yan seize the throne, and speeding up his revenge.

"Duan Hui, right! You are the first thing to be slaughtered by labor and management! Swearing fiercely in his heart, Meng Qiu began to devote himself to the plan to seize the heir.

The first step is to analyze the political situation: At present, the political situation of the Han Dynasty is extremely chaotic, with barbarians knocking on the border and invading outside, and ministers forming parties and fighting for personal gain.

The ministers of the DPRK and China are mainly divided into two factions:

The Duan Party faction headed by Prime Minister Duan Hui is mainly based on Duan Hui's protégés and hometown party members, and controls the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department. They used the power in their hands to form cliques in the DPRK and the Central Committee to run personal gains, sell official positions, and occupy land in the localities, embezzle and accept bribes, oppress the people, and collect huge profits while crowding out non-factional officials.

Many officials of the Duan Party faction held important positions such as governors in the local area, and used their power to force lower-level officials to pledge allegiance to them and join the Duan Party. The entire Han Dynasty has been engaged in a miasma of smoke from the central center to the localities.

The other faction is the Xungui faction headed by the founding father Zhongzhen Gong Zhang Yue's contemporary advocate Dingbian, whose members are mainly nobles and military generals, and a small number of important ministers of the DPRK and China participated. On the one hand, they were dissatisfied with the encroachment of the Duan Party on their own interests, and on the other hand, because the Duan Party always wanted to reach out to the army and felt seriously threatened, so they united to resist the Duan Party.

Due to their own limitations and the imperial power's vigilance against them, the Xungui faction could not blatantly march into the Sixth Ministry, and retreated to the second to support the Duan Party to suppress the ministers, and controlled the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry.

As nobles and generals, they were keenly aware that if the Han Dynasty died, it would be a devastating blow to them, so they did their best to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty. But at the same time, in order to enjoy the glory and wealth, his actions in the local area are not much better than those of the Duan Party.

At present, Emperor Xuanyu of the Han Dynasty is more inclined to the Duan Party faction and supports the Duan Party in many things. However, it is not 100% trusted in the Duan Party, and the direct manifestation is that the most important military department of the country has always been in charge of the emperor's teacher Gu Huai, and it has a certain meaning of checking and balancing the Duan Party by sitting back and watching the Xungui faction control the household department and the Ministry of Industry.

According to King Yan's description, the emperor's government affairs have been abandoned in recent years, he likes to fish and have fun, and he feasts and drinks in the harem all day long, summons the beautiful people in the harem to sleep, and rarely cares about the government affairs. Leave most of the government in the hands of the prime minister and the crown prince, and hand over the external defense of the barbarians and coastal defense to King Yan, and he will only review it when the final result is released.

The Duan Party and the Xungui faction fought to the death all day long, the barbarians and the southeastern Japanese invaded several times, the crown prince and the king of Yan also fought all day long for the throne, the officials were not interested in political affairs, they were busy with corruption and bribery, forming parties for personal gain, and most of the generals were busy managing their own one-acre and three-point land, which constituted the political situation of today's Han Dynasty.

"Fortunately, it's better than Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it's still saved, it's still saved!" Rubbing his eyebrows, Meng Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, If the foundation is good, there is no harm too ruthless, and it will be more convenient and time-consuming to solve it in the future.

The second step is the behavior analysis of the emperor and hundreds of officials, if you want to make King Yan ascend the throne and become emperor, you must get the support of Emperor Xuanyu and most of the officials, so it is important to find out the pain points by analyzing their behavior and take targeted methods to obtain their approval.

According to King Yan's description, Meng Qiu found that the emperor actually had a certain understanding of the political situation in front of him, and was happy to see such a situation, and even suspected of adding fuel to the fire.

"It seems that the old emperor is not as stupid as I think, and eighty percent of the previous events were deliberately done by him. The purpose was to suppress King Yan, who was in the limelight, and consolidate his rule. The old emperor hasn't had enough of the emperor's addiction! There can't be any other hidden power in the shadows, right? After all, he has been tossed by his relatives, and he will not be careless in this regard, could it be that Duan Hui and I are wrong? Meng Qiu secretly said in his heart that the old emperor might be hidden, and he must be more careful.

In terms of hundreds of officials, Meng Qiu found that the Duan Party was not monolithic, and most of the officials were forced to join the Duan Party, because they were not Duan Hui's descendants, they were oppressed in the Duan Party, and they were eager to obtain greater power and benefits.

There are also a group of conscientious scholars, nobles, and generals, who are bent on the stability of the country and the people, and this group of people is not many in number, but they have a lot of energy. Many of them are veterans of the Three Dynasties, and their prestige is extremely high, even Duan Hui does not dare to provoke easily.

In the third step, King Yan positioned, Meng Qiu thought for a long time and decided: a good son.

"Your Highness, you must understand that the emperor wants you to be capable and capable, and he wants you to be stupid enough not to threaten his throne, so we must keep our heads in the dark and not make a big show. Let His Majesty think that you are his good son, this is the key to success! Meng Qiu said slowly.

The rest of the solution strategy and specific implementation are much more convenient, and King Yan needs to change his previous aggressive strategy, and instead Taoguang is obscure, slowly becoming king, accumulating grain, and building high walls.

"First of all, you don't usually take the initiative to make friends with court officials, this is the emperor's taboo. I will arrange a group of people to secretly help you make friends with civil and military officials. Unless Your Majesty decrees, you'd better not do anything, complete the work assigned to you by Your Majesty in a down-to-earth and safe manner, and always stand on Your Majesty's side" Meng Qiu said a little helplessly, the old emperor is not a good thing, but in order to take revenge in the future, he can only endure it.

Moreover, the behavior and habits of the people in King Yan's Mansion must also be restrained to avoid discovering flaws in the "enemy", which requires Meng Qiu's specific arrangements.

King Yan's mansion is not short of money, it has plenty of money, rare treasures and a large number of land, shops, and King Yan also has his own fief. These made Meng Qiu happy for a while, the family background is solid and easy to do, the promotion fee is sufficient, and the traffic and publicity are easy to do! It costs money to make friends with the military and nobles, and it costs a lot of money.

"Your Highness, after Duan Hui helps you resolve the crisis tomorrow, I need you to enter the palace to do one thing, please allow your Majesty to allow you to collect two hundred homeless people." After arranging the specific implementation and other steps, they were all written on paper and handed over to Wu Bo for execution, Meng Qiu spoke.

"Oh? Do you want to form an internal guard? You can choose any of the three hundred guards in the palace, why do you want to get a group of homeless people? Hearing this, King Yan's eyes lit up and asked.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness will let the slave sell it first, and after the emperor's permission, the slave can choose it himself. These people are of great use! Meng Qiu said with a smile, he was in a good mood now after completing the plan to seize the heir and finally taking the first step towards revenge.

"That's it! Ahem, take a break and prepare to follow this king tomorrow! Hearing this, King Yan didn't say anything, coughed and said.

"Huh?! Why should I go into the palace with you? Meng Qiu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a confused face.

"You are a little eunuch who serves the king closely, so naturally you want to enter the palace with the king! Eunuch master! Don't show your stuff tomorrow, or this king will really castrate you in the future to protect you! Holding back a smile, King Yan turned his head and left after speaking, his heart was dark for a while, he seemed to have to be taught by this kid's master to train his apprentice for a long time, and he also trained him.

"Ahhh I almost forgot that I was still 9,000 years old! A nine-thousand-year-old who has a cock and has to pretend that he doesn't have a cock! The baby is bitter, and the baby doesn't say! There was a desolate scream in the palace in the middle of the night, and the guards around the house looked at each other and nodded wordlessly.

"This master invited by His Highness is really crazy!"
