Xue deliberately paused, Li Zhi below was already sitting on pins and needles, Xue invited Sima, and also invited the two Shangshu under the Shangshutai, but did not bring his backer, when the Chao Situ, Sikong Sima Lie and Sima He were invited, he was already known to everyone in the Liewang Mansion, so now there is a tiger in front of the wolf and a wolf in the back.

Li Zhi was afraid that Xue would make an example of him, so he took the first step forward, glanced at Du Yu, Cui Xun and Xun Yan dissatisfiedly, and although he bowed, he was still arrogant in his tone, and asked Xue Dao:

"The minister is Shangshutai Shangshu and the servant shoot Li Zhi, His Royal Highness and the ministers met to discuss important matters, but among the people present, there are not the two important ministers in the court, Situ and Sikong, but some inconsequential people, ministers...... Think...... Inappropriate. ”

When Xue heard this, she smiled, slowly stood up, looked at Li Zhi, and said:

"What Lord Li said is reasonable, but Uncle Liehuang doesn't seem to be very kind to see my nephew, I haven't entered the imperial city yet, he quietly gave me a big gift at the gate of the palace, I am flattered now, and I haven't eased up, but Lord Li can rest assured, when I am in good spirits tomorrow, I will definitely thank Uncle Liehuang in front of all the ministers, and it will not be unfair."

Xue is now in full spirit, with a confident look, and he can't see any frightened look at all, Li Zhi has an ominous premonition, although he doesn't know anything about Sima Liexue's assassination plan, but when he hears the rumors that the prince is among the people, he feels that Sima Lie will take action, is it discovered?

And Xue dared to secretly invite important ministers from the court like this, this matter would reach Sima Lie's ears sooner or later, this is not an obvious provocation of the authority of Sima Lie's imperial brother, Li Zhi didn't look up at the snow, he only felt that the snow was prepared, it seemed that tomorrow's morning dynasty might set off a bloody storm.

Li Zhi returned in a huff, Xue also took a deep breath, the first difficulty of this meeting was broken by her, and then, Xue showed sadness, thoughtfully, looked at the people in the room and said:

"When my mother sent me out of the palace, she hoped that I would stay away from the royal right and wrong, and over the years, I had no intention of doing anything with the royal family, and I was willing to become a grass citizen for the rest of my life. But the Buddha intentionally let me take the holy light to descend in the White Horse Temple, and I was fortunate to meet the Queen Mother, and I heard that the mother was burned in the palace, and my father died half a year ago, and I was deeply heartbroken, so I implored the Queen Mother to take me back to the palace to worship the spirit of my father and mother in heaven. ”

Xue said while observing the changes of the adults, Dayu rules the country with filial piety, Xue should be able to win the favor of everyone, seeing that someone's expression is relaxed, Xue continued:

“…… But you also know that now, the Great Henan River and the mountains are in danger, the Queen Mother mentioned that one person is needed to preside over the overall situation, as a prince, I should do my best for the Great Yu River, but I am not familiar with state affairs, so I invited you to the adults, hoping to understand the current situation. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Sima took Xue's words and said: "As His Highness said, if His Highness really wants to do something for the rivers and mountains of Dayu......"

Sima bowed his hands and knelt down in front of the snow and shouted:

"Please ask His Royal Highness Ji to inherit the throne of Dayu, and the ministers will swear allegiance to His Highness!"

Sima suddenly made the matter clear and expressed his attitude, which suddenly disrupted the thoughts of the people present, and everyone with a discerning eye understood that at this moment, it was the time to choose life and death, whether to choose Xue or Sima Lie.

The two old ministers present couldn't help frowning, and the two Shangshu didn't dare to speak to them first.

Xue's face was embarrassed, and he stepped forward to help Sima, and said hesitantly:

"Lord Wang, you ...... You know I don't have the talent to govern the country...... It's hard to take on this task......"

Although this is the line that she had discussed with Shen Xing and the others before, it is also her mind, even at this moment, Xue is still worried about herself. Sima did not get up, and continued:

"According to the law of etiquette, His Royal Highness Ji is the best candidate to inherit the throne, and when the Emperor Tai was sick, considering that the prince Cha was young at that time, he appointed four auxiliary ministers to assist the prince in governing the government, and His Royal Highness can also follow suit."

As soon as Sima said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, Xue was at a loss, and the two were at a stalemate for a while, however, Xun Ting, who was sitting at the end, touched his beard, arched his hand towards Xue, and said something incoherent.

"Old man Xun, thank Your Highness Ji for letting me enter the palace and reunite with the Queen Mother."

Xue gestured to Xun Ting, waved his hand, and said:

"Lord Xun is polite, I have admired Lord Xun's reputation for a long time when I was a child, and these days in the White Horse Temple, I saw the Queen Mother's face sad day by day, thinking that the harem is scarce now, so I invited you to visit the concubine......"

Closing her words, Xue raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes, glanced at Xun Ting meaningfully, lowered her voice, and said:

“…… And I am worried about the Dayu court, there are important positions unresolved, and I feel that if Lord Xun can come out of the mountain again, he may be able to reverse the disintegration of the court. ”

Xun Ting was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down towards Xue, leaned over and made a big salute, and said slowly:

"If Xun Ting can still be used by Dayu, I will not hesitate to use this old bone."

Hearing this, Xue immediately stepped forward, helped Xun Ting up, smiled at him with satisfaction, and said:

"Thank you, Lord Xun, for your success."

The former minister of the humerus stock, because of the snow re-entered the officialdom, his attitude is self-evident.

Xue and Sima and his party were also gambling, betting on whether Xun Ting was willing to return to officialdom for the reputation of the Xun family, and whether Xun Ting himself still had nostalgia for fame and fortune, fortunately, Xue They won the bet.

After hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but shudder, most of the unresolved important positions refer to the position of Shang Shuling, the head of Shang Shutai, and his deputy finally controlled the entire Shang Shutai, at this moment, if Xun Ting returned to the dynasty, I am afraid that he would wear it to occupy this position, and his long-cherished wish for many years would be wiped out.

Li Zhi was annoyed and ashamed, but he didn't dare to offend again, so he could only shrink his seat and observe the changes in the situation.

Zuo Ruhui didn't speak for a long time, Xue knew that he was an old bone, he had been an official in the same dynasty as Xun Ting, Zuo Ruhui was upright and Xun Ting was sleek, the two often looked at each other unpleasantly, but now, Xun Ting's actions suddenly changed the situation in the house, and he had to speak.

The minister agreed with what the prince said, His Royal Highness is the blood of the emperor, and he should inherit the Great Yu River, but he has also been exiled for many years...... The minister also thought that he should ask the Empress Dowager for an edict and appoint an auxiliary minister to help His Royal Highness inherit the throne. ”

Zuo Ruhui is very aware of the situation of Sima Lie and Sima in the court, if the two can check and balance each other, they can also return Dayu to peace, but since Sima Liao's death, this balance has been broken, and at this time, Sima Ji suddenly appeared, maybe he can become the key to check and balance these two powerful ministers, but he can suddenly get Sima support, and the two of them don't know that they have made a deal behind their backs, which makes him feel ashamed.

But what I didn't expect was that Sima actually took the initiative to mention the matter of the auxiliary minister, if it was an auxiliary minister, there must be Sima Lie, the emperor's younger brother, wouldn't this be contrary to the statement that the young son was in power, so he was wrong?

Zuo Ruhui glanced at Xue and Sima suspiciously, and saw that Xuebai was thin and thin, and he did not have the bearing to become the king of a country at all, although Zuo Ruhui was not optimistic about Xue at all, but he also felt that Xue Gui was self-aware, knowing how many catties and taels he had, and he was not in a hurry to occupy the throne.

And with the addition of Xun Ting, although Zuo Ruhui doesn't like Xun Ting's personality, he also knows his ability, if he can take power in Shangshutai, now, Sima Lie controls Shangshutai, so that the situation of suppressing Zhongshutai can also be alleviated.

Therefore, in Zuo Ruhui's view, the advantages of this move outweigh the disadvantages.
