Chu Huajin also knew the news of the drought in the southwest, and was contacting his own people to see what their plans were.

Liu Menghan came to Chu Huajin's Zhonglan Courtyard with a box on his sleeve and asked him: "Master Hou, there is a great drought in the southwest, can Master Hou think of something to relieve the people from hanging upside down?" ”

Chu Huajin sighed and said, "I'm idle in the capital now, how can I have a chance?" ”

Liu Menghan pushed the box in front of Chu Huajin, and said with a smile: "Master Hou opened it and took a look." He also said meaningfully: "The opportunity is not waiting for it, it is found by yourself."

Chu Hua stared at Liu Menghan suspiciously, and did not dare to reach out to open the box.

Liu Menghan waited for a while, and when he saw Chu Hua's vigilant gaze, his eyes rolled, and he remembered that the last time he poisoned the roster, it didn't seem to poison Chu Huajin, so he covered his sleeves and smiled: "Don't worry, Master Hou, there is no poison on this box." As he spoke, he opened the box with his own hands, poured out all the things in the box, and showed them to Chu Hua one by one.

Although Chu Huajin was calm, his hands on the table couldn't help but tremble.

This............ This.................. Such a large fortune......

"Where did you get that?" Chu Huajin finally calmed down, and asked Liu Menghan with a frosty face.

Liu Menghan chuckled, tapped his fingers on those things, and said meaningfully: "I am a woman, where do I have such a ability to get such a large amount of belongings?" - Of course, it was left by the old marquis. Hou Ye might as well donate some of it to the imperial court to help the saint with disaster relief, maybe he can find an opportunity to go to the southwest ......"

Chu Hua's heart moved, and he also went out, took those things, and looked at the old man one by one, and left so much family wealth outside!

Chu Hua sighed with emotion, but also a little measured, and asked Liu Menghan: "Then what do you want?" "Knowing that Liu Menghan is treasureless, he will definitely not be so kind, so he took the silver out to help Chu Hua plan for his future.

Liu Menghan smiled and said, "Since the Hou Ye asked, the concubine might as well tell me." - If the Hou Ye doesn't plan again, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will not be spared! ”

"Nonsense!" Chu Huajin shouted angrily, stood up from behind the desk, pointed to the door, and said, "Don't be alarmist here!" You get me out! ”

Liu Menghan also stood up slowly, sneered, and said, "If Master Hou doesn't listen, forget it." Advice against the ear has always been unpopular. Liu Menghan said as he walked out: "Hou Ye think about it carefully, how could the old fox of the Pei family allow the two grandsons of their family to be expelled from the clan, and after the clan was removed, Aunt Fen was immediately removed from the clan and completely separated from the Marquis Mansion of Ningyuan?!" ”

Thinking of Pei Qianqian's recent relationship with the Anjun Palace, Chu Huajin was reluctant to face it, and he also knew that Liu Menghan had a little truth in what he said, so he raised his hand and stopped her: "You wait!" - It's never too late to make it clear! ”

Liu Menghan paused at the door, turned his back to Chu Hua and said, "This is not the place to speak. ”

Chu Huajin glanced at the courtyard of Zhonglan Courtyard and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to the outer study." ”

Liu Menghan showed a strange smile on his face, and it was fleeting.

Without saying a word, Chu Huajin took Liu Menghan to the outer study of the outer courtyard, and led her into the secret room of the study.

Liu Menghan looked around indifferently, found a place to sit down, and said to Chu Hua: "Master Hou, my children are no longer here now, I can only count on Master Hou to provide for me, how can I not get along with Master Hou?" - Master Hou doesn't have to guard against me. ”

Chu Hua was right when he thought about it. Liu Menghan now has no son, and her daughter has entered the cold palace, which is no different from death. If she still couldn't get along with herself, the master of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, she would have killed herself, so she let go of half of her heart and asked her, "What did you mean by what you just said?" "It was Liu Menghan who said that the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion would fall.

Liu Menghan smiled miserably and said to Chu Hua: "Can't Master Hou see it?" ——If the Holy Lord wants the eldest prince to be the crown prince, he will never leave our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion! "In fact, today's Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is already strong and strong, and the saint may not leave Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It's just that Liu Menghan has other plans......

Chu Huajin only heard a layer of meaning, and hurriedly asked Liu Menghan: "How can this be?!" We are the eldest prince's foreign family, the saint will not give the eldest prince face like this, right? ”

Liu Menghan laughed, laughing so much that tears came out, and said to Chu Hua: "Master Hou, relatives have always been a double-edged sword. To be a holy person is to kill by mistake rather than let go. - Also, do you think that the old marquis's calculations really don't know about the saints? Do you think that the saint will tolerate the son of a thief?! ”

In all dynasties, the side that rebelled unsuccessfully was wiped out, and sometimes even one clan was not enough, but also nine or ten clans!

Chu Hua gasped and walked around the secret room, as if talking to himself, and as if asking Liu Menghan: "Does the Holy Lord really know?" No way? - If you knew, how long would you have tolerated? There are also three princes, aren't they also the descendants of the anti-thief.................."

Liu Menghan couldn't wait to knock open Chu Huajin's elm head, endured it and endured it, and then said: "Master Hou forgot, the eldest lady is the one who got married, her son, not the Chu family." "Of course, it is not a thief, unless the queen rebels and wants to pull the emperor off the horse, the emperor will not tolerate the queen's biological son. Just like the Empress Wu Gu case during the period of Emperor Longqing, it is said that the queen cursed Emperor Longqing to die early in order to let her son, the prince at that time, succeed to the throne as soon as possible, so Emperor Longqing also killed Emperor Hongxuan, who was still the prince at that time, while executing the queen. If it weren't for the blood advice of Jian Shihongjindian, the prince of the old town, Emperor Hongxuan would have been loess by now.

Besides, when the emperor punished other people's clans, he never put his own family in other people's clans. For example, in the case of Lao Ning Yuanhou's rebellion, if you want to punish the nine clans, the daughter family of the old Ning Yuanhou who married, including his son-in-law and grandson, that is, the emperor and the three princes, are also counted in the "father four" of the Zhu Jiu clan. But if this is to be calculated, the emperor will have to execute himself.

Is there such an emperor who "kills relatives with righteousness"? ——- of course not. Even if you are a fool, you know that if you make a living secretly, you will not punish yourself.

Liu Menghan finally explained this truth to Chu Huajin, and sighed again: "Master Hou, if you say something that shouldn't be, you can't put yourself and the three princes on the same card." - You are fundamentally different people, don't think that if the Holy One can tolerate his own son, he can tolerate you, Master Hou. These are two different things entirely. ”

Chu Huajin's face was gloomy, so black that it could drip water.

"You say, what should I do?" Chu Hua asked.

Liu Menghan smiled and said, "I'm a woman, what do I know?" Hou Ye thought about it himself, if he didn't do anything, it would be important for the concubine to go out and order a few coffins earlier. ”

Chu Huajin was silent.

Liu Menghan got up and said goodbye: "Master Hou should prepare early." No matter how hesitant you are, even if you have a way, you can't do it. ”

Chu Huajin shook his head and said, "What can I do?" Do you think that with this bit of silver, and the 50,000 military households in the southwest, we can really turn the sky upside down? ”

Liu Menghan saw that Chu Huajin's tone was relaxed, and he hurriedly added a handful of firewood: "Master Hou, to achieve great things, it is important to pay attention to the time, place, and people. Hou Ye is in the capital, like a dragon trapped in the shallows, of course he can't be used. But if you want to go to the southwest, it is natural that the time, the place, and the people are all three. ——The drought in the southwest is a blow to the saint, and it is a great opportunity for the Hou Ye. ”

Having said this, Liu Menghan didn't want to say any more, so he blessed Chu Hua and left.

Chu Huajin sat in the secret room and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Seeing that it was getting dark, Chu Huajin came out of the secret room, but saw Pei Shufen sitting on the chair behind the desk in his outer study with a smile, looking at him with a smile, and playing with the box where Chu Huajin put the jade seal in his hand.

Chu Huajin was startled, and quickly turned around to see if the doors and windows were closed.

Pei Shufen said crisply: "Master Hou doesn't have to be busy, I have closed the doors and windows." It was closed after Aunt Liu left, Hou Ye rest assured! ”

Chu Huajin turned around and asked Pei Shufen, "How did you escape from the edict?" Where do you live now? How did you get in? Looking Pei Shufen up and down, he saw that she had a ruddy complexion and bright clothes, not like she was running away, and became more and more puzzled.

Pei Shufen was speechless for a while, so she had to say vaguely: "When the concubine was young, she learned the Tao method from a master outside the world, and she knew some spells, she could pass through the wall, and she could also shrink the ground.

Although Chu Huajin didn't believe it very much, Pei Shufen did escape from the edict, which cannot be faked. And he came and went freely in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Thinking of the poison of Thunder Fortii on his body, Chu Hua became a little enthusiastic and asked Pei Shufen: "That day you said that there was a way to solve the poison of Thunder Fordii." - What about the antidote? ”

Pei Shufen threw the antidote back into the white mist of Langjin Cave last time, and when he heard Chu Huajin say it, he smiled and said, "The antidote is naturally there." But why did the concubine give the antidote to the Hou Ye? Who is Hou Ye a concubine? ”

Chu Huajin was very surprised: "You really have an antidote?" - If you really have, my position in the main room is yours! "I promised to straighten Pei Shufen.

Although Pei Shufen knew that the concubine could not be corrected, she felt that her situation was different, and it could not be called "rectification" but similar to "remarriage". It's just that Chu Huajin's words still can't be believed.

"Hou Ye's words, the concubine can't believe it. Hou Ye had to bring some tokens, and the concubine cooperated with Hou Ye. Pei Shufen picked up the box where the jade seal was placed and threw it into the sky.

Chu Hua was worried that Pei Shufen would drop the box, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You don't have a place to live, how can you put such a valuable thing?" Let me keep it. I'll write you a note, can't I draw a bet? ”

Pei Shufen shook his head, took the jade seal, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
