Wu Bencao couldn't tell the truth, he just overheard it from Liu Xingyi's mouth.

After he said this, the attitude of the five people in the banquet towards him was completely subverted, and at first they thought that he was a young brother and had no weight. But now, they all realize that Wu Materia Medica is unfathomable and must not be taken lightly.

Xie Chang put away his pride and said tentatively: "Boss Wu, since you know the reason why King Ying was captured, how do you think this matter will end?"

Wu Bencao picked up a few pieces of hairy belly, soaked them in red oil, and replied: "The king of England was captured, and your Taixue and Wu Ansi must have reacted greatly. The officials cultivated by the two families are all over the government and the opposition, and as far as I know, they are waiting to meet His Majesty and fight with reason!"

Of course, I overheard this.

Liu Xingyi was taken aback again, and became more and more convinced of his judgment, Wu Bencao really had someone in the palace!

"That's right, I also heard that the ministers are kneeling outside the palace, waiting for His Majesty to summon them. But this is not the way to go, His Majesty is angered by the successive changes, and he is angry, and he will not give up. ”

After a slight pause, she lowered her voice and said, "Moreover, you must also know that this matter is related to the dispute between the princes, and no one can understand His Majesty's mind. ”

She believed that Wu Bencao was a smart person who could see the root cause of this chaotic situation.

Wu Bencao nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, Your Majesty will not give up." Therefore, I believe that the British side must give up some of its interests and take the initiative to make concessions in order to calm His Majesty's anger and take back his fate. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing his judgment, everyone was interested, and said with concern: "What kind of concession? Boss Wu might as well be thorough." ”

At this point, they have extremely high expectations for Wu Materia Medica.

Wu Bencao finished eating a small half plate of hairy belly, wiped his mouth, and said: "Think about it carefully, last night King Ming sent someone to assassinate him, it would never be a whim, what was the fuse that ignited his anger?"

Xie Chang and the others frowned and fell into thought.

Liu Xingyi was quick to think and quickly came up with an answer, "Could it be Chaotian Palace? I have heard that His Majesty built the third academy to separate the cultivation rights of Taixue and Wu'an Division, weaken the influence of the British king's party on the imperial court, and make it impossible to send new supporters." ”

Over the years, under the cultivation of Li Qianqiu and others, a large number of disciples and disciples have entered the imperial court and been assigned to various institutions and departments. After they became the backbone of the imperial court, of course, they did not forget their teachers and factions, and they all supported the succession of the British king to the throne.

To give a less appropriate example, Taixue is equivalent to Peking University during the Republic of China, while Wu'an Division is more like the later Whampoa Military Academy. They are gathering strength and preparing to attack the old ones.

The party formed around the two is huge in scale and has a large number of talents, which makes the empress feel deeply jealous.

As a result, there was the newborn Chaotian Palace.

Fan Dongliu was inspired and echoed: "That's right, there have been rumors within Taixue recently that the new Chaotian Palace is actually suppressing us and arguing with us." Perhaps, His Majesty did not have the idea of favoring the Li family, which made King Ming despair, so he ......"

Chen Songzhi also figured it out, squinted his eyes and said: "In this way, Your Majesty's construction of the Chaotian Palace seems to be the fuse that angered King Ming. ”

Wu Bencao no longer sold Guan Zi, and said awe-inspiringly: "Therefore, the supporters of the British King gave in, which is to accept the existence of Chaotian Palace and allow this emerging force to share their resources. To put it more bluntly, Chaotian Palace will find Taixue and Wu'an Si to ask for someone!"

The new school palace is not intended to be built, if it can't recruit students, young people don't recognize Chaotian Palace, and still invest in the old Taixue and Wu'an Division, then, this school palace is a decoration, and it can't compete with the first two at all.

If the empress wants to make Chaotian Palace rise rapidly, the most direct way is to poach people from the command of the British king. Whether it is a student or a professor, the more people are poached from Chaotian Palace, the more serious the weakening of Taixue and Wu'an Division will become, and the more lonely they will become in the future.

The solution to the contradiction comes from the contradiction itself.

Liu Xingyi suddenly brightened, and looked at Wu Bencao's eyes, revealing sincere admiration, "Although Boss Wu is young, such a vicious eye makes me unreachable. You are right, this matter started because of Chaotian Palace, and it will eventually end because of Chaotian Palace. ”

Xie Chang's face was slightly gloomy, although he also admired Wu Bencao's mind, but he didn't say it.

This feeling of being robbed of the limelight made him very unhappy, especially when Liu Xingyi spoke. In the past, Liu Xingyi admired him the most, and he rarely praised other men, but today, Wu Bencao impressed her with a few words, which made him feel sour.

"Could it be that I have taken a fancy to Liu Xingyi?"

Xie Chang thought.

At this time, Wang Shicong had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed: "By the way, tomorrow is the day when the plaque will be unveiled in Chaotian Palace! I was still thinking in the morning, it is only the first month of the month, and it is still far from the spring test, how can Chaotian Palace solve the problem of students." If Boss Wu is not wrong, wouldn't he have to poach people from among us?!"

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is set at the turn of spring and summer every year, so it is called the spring examination.

According to the rules, after the spring examination, the imperial court will select a group of young talents with excellent grades and send them to Taixue and Wu'an Division for further study. After completing their studies, they were transported to various departments of the imperial court and became new officials.

In other words, the spring examination is the source of students, and the places have always been divided by Taixue and Wu'ansi. And now, there is another Chaotian Palace.

Wu Bencao groaned slightly, Chaotian Palace was scheduled to open tomorrow, which he didn't know before.

"Wait and see, I expect that later today, Your Majesty will definitely summon the ministers. When their tempers are exhausted, it will be much easier to talk about it. Tomorrow at the ceremony in Chaotian Palace, the answer will be known!"

Liu Xingyi's eyes kept staring at Wu Bencao, seeing that his expression was determined, for some reason, a mysterious sense of trust arose in his heart, as if as long as it was a prediction from his mouth, it would definitely happen.

She smiled, "Boss Wu said so, then let's wait and see! If tomorrow, the dust has not settled, then you have to treat us to another big meal!"

Wu Bencao nodded briskly, "Haha, it's hard to say, tomorrow you will listen to the news, if I guess wrong, you come directly to this room, let's continue to chat and eat hot pot!"

Everyone applauded.

From the time Wu Bencao entered the door to now, it was obviously not half an hour, but they got along very well, as if they had been dating for a long time. Especially Liu Xingyi, who has a feeling of familiarity at first sight for Wu Materia Medica, is indescribably happy.

Wang Shicong went downstairs, ordered a lot of dishes, came back and said, "If you really divide people from Taixue, I hope you don't take a few of us apart." Otherwise, if you become an enemy in the future, how can you be embarrassed to sit down again and eat and drink like you are now?"

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. If they were really allowed to enter the Chaotian Palace and oppose the original Taixue, they would have no choice but to obey obediently. Otherwise, once they drop out of school, they will not want to be involved with the court in their lives, and even their families will be affected.

After all, it's a matter of political siding.

Fan Dongliu smacked his lips and said enviously: "Anyway, no matter how you choose, Xingyi doesn't have to worry, her future brother-in-law is in charge of Chaotian Palace, and she doesn't have to go there with her relatives!"

When Wu Bencao heard this, he pretended to be careless and asked, "Who is her brother-in-law?

Chen Songzhi explained with a smile: "Xingyi's sister is called Liu Nuanyu, and she and Lantian Gongzi are childhood sweethearts and have been in love for many years. And the first palace master of Chaotian Palace is Lord Lan Canghai. You say, is her backer hard?"
