If it is just an ordinary official, of course, he does not have the courage or ability, and often this kind of person is only the princes who participated in the battle for succession, except for the first-class officials in the court.

If the name of an official is not right, even if he is successfully registered, there is an infamy of a traitor behind him. Therefore, some ambitious people, in order to have greater power, carry the emperor behind their backs to support the prince.

However, the nine sons of the dragon are different, and the temperament and ability of the princes are different, which reflects the importance of the official's choice of master.

Some people only want to follow the wise and powerful princes, while some people will choose those princes who seem weak and can be handed over to the ministers as puppets after ascending the throne.

As a result, the court stood on three legs.

One faction is the King of Jin Party, the other faction is the King Yun Party, and the other faction is the King Xiang Party.

The king of Jin is kind and charitable, but also indecisive and does not like violence, and is the son of the queen. King Yun is a full smiling tiger, and he is also a difficult lord to serve, and his background is his sore spot. As for King Xiang, he is scheming and has a violent temperament, and he is currently the most powerful one in the court, and the emperor is particularly indulgent when he is ashamed of his mother.

The other princes are small, incapable, incapable, and unable to fight with one of them.

After Xu Ziqiao's explanation, Lin Huiru immediately understood why the unknown person wanted to hand Xu Ziqiao an olive branch.

If you just buy an official, you never know when he will bite you back, but it is too slow to train an official from the basics, and it is best to start from the current champions.

Among them, the people who are most likely to win the champion are still those who have good grades, so Lin Huiru thought that they should not only fall in love with Xu Ziqiao, but also the first place in other places to receive this olive branch.

People who are eager to win over power do not have to be champions, the top three always have a chance to be favored by the emperor and be classified into the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy is directly subordinate to the emperor, and it is best to do things, so even if some of the Hanlin Yuan officials are not high, they are highly respected.

If you have the opportunity to be appreciated, it is easy to rise to the top.

This group of people really cast a wide net to catch more fish.

"But if they do that, aren't they already holding you in the hands of you? If you dare to send this thing to you blatantly, then they will have a reason to control you well, if you don't have the weight of the imperial examination at that time, it's fine, but if you are hit and not under their orders, then this kind of thing will only invite you to kill. Lin Huiru's brain turned very fast, and the insidiousness of this group of people was beyond her imagination.

"Entering the capital is like walking into a conspiracy, either fighting for life or dying for justice, there are very few people who are wise enough to protect themselves, because they don't know when you can go to someone else's camp, or kill it first." Xu Ziqiao smiled bitterly, it seemed that the situation in Jingzhong was much more severe than he thought.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and Lin Huiru was suddenly very irritable, they must be the easiest people in this group of students, if there are some forces in the family, maybe there will be discussions, but since they have received this kind of thing inexplicably, it is equivalent to opening the door to welcome the trouble into the house.

In distress, Lin Huiru suddenly remembered Qi Zhengxi, this matter cannot be solved by them alone, only the life of being threatened, even if they have evidence to run to the saint to complain, it may not be smooth.

"Do you know which side the Pingyang Hou Mansion is on?" Lin Huiru asked.

Xu Ziqiao thought for a while, "Pingyang Hou is His Majesty's brother-in-law, and it is said that Pingyang Hou and His Majesty have been friends for many years, presumably Pingyang Hou should not interfere in their inheritance affairs, not to mention that Pingyang Hou has always been wise to protect himself, as long as he doesn't make too much trouble, he generally won't take care of it." ”

"I see, what about you, who do you want to help?" Lin Huiru nodded meaningfully, she suddenly understood why Qi Zhengxi wanted to help her, if he didn't guess wrong, this group of high-ranking officials and magnates must have already found out the origin of each of them, so since there are so many people who want to win over Xu Ziqiao, there should be not a few people who want to be on the emperor's side, if it weren't for the emperor's cronies, that group of people would have turned against the sky a long time ago.

"Now the emperor is not yet in the prime of life, not to mention that His Majesty is a person who expands the territory of the Quartet on his own. In my opinion, the three princes have their own advantages and shortcomings, and they are not yet able to be able to take charge of themselves, I don't want to stand alone, I just want to solve the troubles and worries of the people at dawn in the world. Xu Ziqiao clenched his fists and said, he disdained to bow his head to these people in the court who relied on force to capture power.

In this way, Lin Huiru felt that Xu Ziqiao should have no conflict with the Pingyang Hou family at all, and now the Pingyang Hou Mansion is still very status, which should be enough to prove that there are still many cronies in His Majesty, and they might as well take a risk and go against the grain.

"Then let's do it, we don't participate in the seizure of the heir, we take refuge in the Pingyang Hou Mansion." Lin Hui is categorical, as long as he is in the officialdom, there must be a big tree to shade the wind, and people who are incompetent and unique will die the fastest.

"Pingyang Hou Mansion... You should disdain to take the initiative to run. Xu Ziqiao rubbed his chin and thought, in fact, he had rarely heard of the reputation of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, at least better than the three rebels who could hope that their father would ascend to heaven.

Lin Huiru smiled, thanks to the olive branch thrown by Qi Zhengxi today, "If I say this, will I be choked by those people for the rest of my life?" We can ask the Pingyang Hou Mansion for help, and they should be extremely disdainful of this kind of use of topics to attract connections. ”

"I see, but presumably now that we have been targeted, it may not be realistic to leave the Hou Mansion to ask for help." Xu Ziqiao's brain is also running rapidly, but he is still just a scholar, and he has no connections at all.

"It's okay, you review well, I'll find a way to go to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion tomorrow." Lin Huiru narrowed her eyes slightly, today's Qi Zhengxi was like a god, and he did her a great favor in just a few words.

Mrs. Pingyang Hou's appreciation of her cooking skills made everyone present that day stop, then she will take a food box to Pingyang Hou's Mansion tomorrow, there should not be many people who care too much about her as a woman.

It's a pity that that group of scum is patriarchal, but they don't know that their plans are about to be ruined by her.
