Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu accompanied Zhao Shanfeng to Ning Wangfu for a banquet, Lin Tianyang and the two didn't know where Ning Wang's Mansion was, they just followed, because they came out early, and they were not in a hurry, Zhao Shanfeng's sedan chair slowly walked forward.

Just as everyone was walking forward, a middle-aged Taoist priest slowly walked out from a street corner in front of him and stood in the middle of the road.

Liu Liqin hurriedly stretched out his hand and said softly, "Stop." ”

Then he looked at the Taoist priest and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by blocking our path?" ”

"It's not interesting, I'm just here to bring a message to the people in the sedan chair." The Taoist priest said with a smile.

"Word to the word? Say whatever you want. Zhao Shanfeng said loudly in the sedan chair.

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to tell the adults that it's best not to express their stance at the banquet tonight, the adults just need to listen to what they mean, as for what to do tomorrow, we will give the adults enough information after the adults return to the mansion tonight." ”

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Zhao Shanfeng laughed out loud and said: "It turned out that he came to buy me, I haven't met King Ning yet, I don't know what tonight's banquet means, so let's do it, if you really have ideas, it's okay for us to talk about it in the evening, but the person I talk to should be a person I can trust or someone who has a low enough position, Your Excellency seems to be a little worse." ”

"That's natural, and when the time comes, there will naturally be someone of sufficient status to talk to you." The Taoist priest said, and then continued: "My lord, go slowly, I won't be far away!" ”

After speaking, the Taoist priest slowly walked away.

"Let's go!" Liu Liqin said, and then everyone continued to walk forward.

Although Lin Tianyang also knows some things on the rivers and lakes, but he has not studied the affairs of the court, and there are many things that he can't understand about the affairs of the court, in his impression, the whole world is the emperor, and the emperor is a man of his word, whoever wants to die, who will die, but why let those people in the court engage in their own forces, and these forces do not give in, which should also be very unfavorable to the stability of the court, Lin Tianyang does not understand why the emperor would allow such a situation to appear.

Not long after, everyone arrived outside King Ning's Mansion, and before Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu had time to carefully look at the gate of King Ning's Mansion, they followed Liu Liqin and Zhao Shanfeng into the gate of King Ning's Mansion, but those sedan chair men were stopped outside.

After entering the gate of King Ning's mansion, Zhao Shanfeng was invited by King Ning, and Lin Tianyang and the three of them were arranged to wait for Zhao Shanfeng in a hall.

There were already a few people in the hall, and slowly some more people came in, these people were the entourage of the adults who came to the banquet, many of them knew Liu Liqin, Liu Liqin kept greeting them, and Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu were sitting in a corner, watching the fake chat between these people.

"These people are your brother and my brother on the surface, but secretly they are all you live and die, this is above the court, even more insidious and dark than the rivers and lakes." Chen Susu whispered.

Lin Tianyang nodded and whispered: "Yes, these people are in front of each other and behind them, maybe this is the way to survive, we should all learn something." ”

"These people all belong to different forces, these forces contain each other and tilt each other, and their goals are all on each other, so that the one above will save a lot of effort and be stable." Chen Susu whispered.

Hearing Chen Susu's words, Lin Tianyang was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization, he finally figured it out, these forces above the court are actually intentionally done by the emperor, these forces contain each other, and they are also restraining each other, their goals are all these immediate interests, and no one has other thoughts; And the emperor only needs to balance these relationships, as long as none of these forces are particularly prominent, then he will have no worries.

"Emperor's mind technique, this is really a science." Lin Tianyang couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Lin Tianyang suddenly had an idea, that is, the vacancy of this Yandao Yamen, these people are fighting for it, and the final decision must be the emperor, since this position is so important, the emperor must give his own person in that position.

After having this idea, Lin Tianyang smiled, thinking in his heart that these people were all busy in vain, and everything should be in the emperor's calculations.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Susu asked.

"It's nothing, it's just something I figured it out." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

The two of them whispered and laughed, and did not attract the attention of others, after all, these two people were too young and their strength was not very outstanding, so no one cared too much about them.

After Liu Liqin and the others chatted for a while, they didn't have anything to say, so they slowly quieted down, and at this time, someone noticed Lin Tianyang and the others, and they should have nothing to say, just to find something to talk about.

A person looked at Lin Tianyang and the two and asked with a smile: "These two children are eye-catching, I haven't seen them before, I don't know who you are from?" ”

Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu hurriedly stood up, and Lin Tianyang replied with a smile: "We are here with Lord Zhao." ”

"Lord Zhao?" The man said with a frown.

"That's right, it's our Lord Zhao, these two children have just entered Shangshu Mansion, and the adults brought them here this time to see it." Liu Liqin said with a smile on the side.

"Oh... It turned out that they came with you, no wonder, these two young people are full of aura, they should be malleable, Lao Liu, you Lord Zhao have a good vision. The man looked at Lin Tianyang and said with a smile.

"It was our luck that we met Lord Zhao." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"Hehehehehe... You are very good at talking, you Lord Zhao is a very good person, and I believe that your future is also bright. The man laughed, and then turned to talk to the others.

Liu Liqin walked up to Lin Tianyang and the others, and said in a low voice: "This is also a battlefield, and there is also intrigue between each other, you will get used to it in the future." ”

"Just now this person spoke in a weird way, but I always feel that there is something in what he said, he said that our future is bright, I think this is just the surface meaning, there should be a deeper meaning." Chen Susu whispered.

Liu Liqin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what Chen Susu meant, there are two meanings in what this person said just now, one is that Zhao Shangshu will go further, and they will have a brighter future with Zhao Shangshu; There is also a meaning that this person is saying the opposite, Zhao Shangshu will soon have a big incident, and they will also suffer.

Liu Liqin looked at the person who had just spoken, that person was just another Shangshu's subordinate, according to their rank, it was impossible for this person to know that Zhao Shangshu would continue to be promoted, and Zhao Shangshu was already in his sixties, maybe he would have to retire, it was impossible to go further; Then there is only one other possibility, these people want to do something to Zhao Shangshu.

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Liqin's heart couldn't help but tremble, and a chill rose from his back.

"You wait here, I'll go back." Liu Liqin said to Lin Tianyang, and then left.

Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu glanced at each other, not knowing what Liu Liqin thought of, and didn't know what he was doing, the two of them sat down again, and did not participate in the conversation of those people.

At the same time, the banquet in the banquet hall had already begun, and under the auspices of King Ning, a total of seven people were sitting at a table, and these people were eating, drinking, and chatting at the same time, each of them seemed to have some random words, but they all hid traps.

Seeing that everyone was almost talking, King Ning brought the topic to the topic, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You can come today, it just gives me enough face, everyone is a person with a head and a face, and time is also very precious, so I won't be verbose, just go straight to the topic." ”

Saying that, King Ning took a sip of wine, and then continued: "Now that the vacancy of the Yandao Yamen has come out, I think you all have a candidate in your heart, so let's say all the candidates in your hearts, and we will discuss it together, of course, I have no prejudice against anyone, and the purpose of my invitation is also to choose the most suitable person." ”

Hearing King Ning's words, everyone glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, these people are all people who don't belong to the same forces, and their own candidates are all on behalf of themselves and the forces behind them, and they are people who have been predetermined a long time ago.

King Ning looked at everyone and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Excuse me? Usually you are much thicker than this king's skin, why are you like a little girl now? ”

Then he pointed to a person on the right hand and said, "Li Shilang, you say first, who do you think is suitable?" Say it and let's talk about it. ”

Li Shilang glanced at King Ning, then at everyone again, and then said: "Since the prince has ordered, then I will say a person, I think this position is suitable for Wang Yuan, the head of the Ministry Bo Wang Yuan, his reputation has always been very good, and he is also dedicated to doing things, I think he will definitely be able to be qualified for this position." ”

"Wang Yuan, I've heard of this person, but you also know that I don't care about anything, and I don't know the specifics, what do you think of him?" King Ning looked at everyone and asked.

After hearing the name Wang Yuan, everyone began to think, all thinking about what stains and shortcomings this person had, in short, they were all looking for a reason and excuse why he was not suitable for this position.
