After taking medicine and having breakfast, Xu Huaijing listened to a few news from the strategists in the mansion, and after giving orders, he went back to the bedroom of the North Courtyard to make up for sleep.

Since Xu Nankui's words, he has thoroughly investigated these things overnight, but fortunately, some of them have been resolved.

But he had the matter of Zuo Xiang hanging in his heart, and when Princess Xu Huai came in with the ointment to remove scars and muscles, he forced himself to lie on the pillow, squinting and talking to her slowly.

In the past, Xu Huaijing only relied on an instinctive numbness to live, like a lonely young beast, and he didn't think about it anymore. He is wary and evasive of most people if they don't have to.

For a long time, he has neglected to have a deep friendship with others, which causes him to be not good at observing words and feelings, and often cannot accurately judge the meaning of others' words.

Now many things are different, and he knows that only by living a strong posture can he protect Princess Xu Huai firmly behind him.

After leaving the palace today, Xu Huaijing took Xu Huaijing's meaningful "mention" in front of the Xuanwu Gate to heart.

These people have begun to force him to stand in line, whether it is Li Xiang or the new prince.

But he really couldn't understand Zuo Xiang's intentions, so he chose to ask Princess Xu Huai for help.

Princess Xu Huai sat cross-legged beside him, her fingertips dipped in ointment and slowly wiped the scars on his back.

After listening to his statement of this morning's events, Princess Xu Huai's hand paused for a moment and smiled.

"Do you not understand what Xu Kangdi's heart disease is, or do you not understand why Zuo Xiang suddenly reminded you of such a thing?"

What Xu Huaijing doesn't understand, of course, is the latter.

Both the DPRK and the Central Committee know that Emperor Xu Kangdi's biggest heart problem at the moment is nothing more than "wanting to fight with the Liao State and completely demarcate the border of the border fortress, and now he encounters Xu Nankui standing in line strongly, everything is variable." ”

"Say, what is his intention?"

Xu Huaijing looked back at Princess Xu Huai, and her clear eyes were full of trust.

Princess Xu Huai met his eyes, tilted her head and smiled: "Zuo Xiang has never talked nonsense for decades, and it took him half of his life to keep the wealth of the idle king." You can't suddenly be confused today, right? ”

Xu Huaijing pinched her leg lightly with his backhand: "Please tell the story straight and get straight to the point." ”

This kind of rhetorical question with meaning is the most difficult way for him to understand.

Princess Xu Huai slapped him on the back with a sneer, not heavy, but very loud. "You dare to pinch me if you ask someone?"

"I didn't pinch you, I just pinched," he urged, "what did he intend?" ”

"His eight achievements are to help Emperor Xu Kangdi be a microphone," Princess Xu Huai directly made it clear, "Emperor Xu Kangdi doesn't plan to spend any more time with the Liao State." ”

"If Xu Kangdi wants to fight as soon as possible, he must solve all the internal worries in the short term, and now for him, it is the most important thing to be able to grasp the shortcomings of every piece, including Xu Nankui to explore the bottom before." Princess Xu Huai shook her head, hooked her lips and sneered.

Xu Huaijing asked: "Then in your opinion, how should today's matter be handled?" ”

Princess Xu Huai said with a smile: "It's not difficult, but Xu Nankui can sell her official if she wants to, and if she wants to be a female official, she will follow her." ”

"The princess means I'm here to start?"

Princess Xu Huai nodded.

It's not that Xu Kangdi didn't dare to mention it, but this couldn't come out of his mouth directly, he could only help Xu Nankui get here.

He is the lord of a nation, but whatever comes out of his mouth is called the judgment of the holy will.

If the government and the opposition are mostly opposed, he will have no room for manoeuvre and no way out, and the slightest carelessness will cause chaos in the whole country.

So he needs someone to stand up and speak on his behalf, and test the reaction of the government and the opposition first.

Listening to Princess Xu Huai's cocoon, Xu Huaijing's arms were folded on the pillow, and his chin was clubbed on his arms, as if he had an understanding.

"Zuo Xiang came to dial me today, did he get the permission of Emperor Xu Kang?"

"That's right. This matter is unfavorable to the government and the opposition, and neither the prince nor Xu Nankui can come forward at this time. Other county kings are not weighty, and Emperor Xu Kangdi can only hope for you this time. ”

If Xu Huaijing proposes the matter of "setting up female officials", as long as the communication is in place in advance, with the current power in Xu Huaijing's hands, he will naturally not encounter such a big thing as turmoil in the government and the opposition.

In this way, Emperor Xu Kangdi only needed to appease Li Xiang's henchmen, and then try to hold down the old faction's conservative civil servants with the posture of "ruling in the middle".

"But you take a risk. If you Xu Kangdi fail to hold down the old Wenchen in the end, he will most likely push you out to be held accountable. ”

The so-called art of the emperor is inseparable from its origin. Before you do anything, you have to make room for yourself to be scapegoated.

Xu Huaijing suddenly brightened: "Has he made up his mind to keep Xu Nankui?" ”

Princess Xu Huai nodded, and then said helplessly: "It's a pity how can he keep Xu Nankui?" Is a person with a clear will to die so easy to protect? ”

King Xu Huai tilted his head and said: "That's it, I'm afraid that others don't think I've picked up a big bargain, so let's drag it first, and wait for the signal from Xu Nankui." ”

Princess Xu Huai hummed, and the two said no more.

That's how the human heart is.

A thing that everyone knows how to solve, everyone is immobile because of the pros and cons, but someone stands up and easily solves the dead end, usually, this person will not be praised and rewarded.

More people will think that this person seems to have picked up a big bargain without much effort.

dragged everyone to the ants on the hot pot, only then did he come out and calmly open the situation, and his efforts could be maximized.

On that side, noon had passed, Xu Nankui's grandfather had just finished eating, and the little scholar before finally couldn't help it, and suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and said to his wife: "Old lady, Princess Taiping has been kneeling outside all morning, please persuade the master." ”

The scholar may not be all worried about Xu Nankui, or maybe he is afraid that Xu Nankui will have an accident and he will be implicated, after all, he is the only one who knows, and the other one is not to blame.

Besides, Xia He is really good to them, so he has to repay Xia He's favor.

The whole restaurant was quiet, and the old lady just turned her head calmly, looked at Xu Nankui's grandfather, and asked calmly, "Kong Wen, is what September said true?" ”

Xu Nankui's grandfather glared at September who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at his wife and said, "That kid has a stubborn temper, you don't know that there are some things that I can't help him do." ”

The old lady slapped the table and said, "Okay! Good! Good! ”

The maid next to her helped the old lady to stand up, and the old lady stood up tremblingly, raised her hand, and directly ripped off the tablecloth and overturned the entire table.

Xu Nankui's grandfather's face was a little red at this time, and he said with a hint of toughness: "What are you doing here?" Do you know what she's going to do? I can't promise this kind of thing! ”

The old lady looked at Xu Nankui's grandfather and said: "Kong Wen, I don't know, I only know that Xu Nankui is my granddaughter, I never let her suffer so much grievance, for you, your disciple is your proud wing, for me, Nankui is my wing." ”

Kong Wen had thousands of pains in his heart and had no place to speak, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
