At this moment, in the main hall of Xuanming Palace, under the Danqi, the people who came one after another were all right.

The tall and majestic palace door closed silently, blocking the light of the sky, leaving only two rows of palace lights, which illuminated the hall quietly.

The system inherited from the previous dynasty, the main hall of the emperor's dormitory, although also used for court meetings, was only used for the inner court, that is, the small court.

Although the scale and number of people of the small dynasty cannot be compared with the large dynasty, so this palace is far less spacious and huge than the wide hall used by the great dynasty, but in the end, it is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and it has its own regulations, which can also be called far-reaching.

At this moment, even though the lights are bright, the faces of all the people in the hall are still a little obscure.

The flickering of his eyes is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult to distinguish the true meaning.

There are not many people in the palace, but Jing Wei clearly distinguishes two factions: one faction has only two people, Jian Xubai and Liu Jingcheng, the son of the Liu family; One faction is the others.

"Now that the people have arrived, can Yan Hou get straight to the point and give us people an explanation?" After a short silence, Wei Xi was the first to speak, "Or, give us a simple one?" ”

Although the rest of the people did not echo the words, they looked directly at Jian Xubai's gaze, but they all implied urging.

The person who arrived first had more or less talked to Jian Xubai, but the information he got was also half a catty to eight taels with Su Shaoge, who came over at the earliest-up to now, no one could guess what Jian Xubai was thinking?

What kind of confidence can convince them?

Even if the people here at the moment are not simple, they are not people who can't hold their breath, but the stakes are very high, and after waiting for such a short time, they are already anxious.

Although Wei Xi's opening was secretly hostile, it was to speak their hearts.

"I've already told you a little bit about the situation that the wang clan is facing now." Fortunately, Jian Xubai didn't mean to go around in circles, and after hearing this, he raised his head, looked around at the crowd, and said calmly, "Since the imperial examination appeared and flourished in the previous dynasty, the children of the Shu clan have entered the court, and the decline of the family gate valve is inevitable!" Can you agree with this? ”

After a moment of silence, everyone nodded—including Wei Xi, who seemed the most hostile.

After all, since they are willing to come here to talk, they obviously also hope to reach an agreement that is acceptable to everyone, and if they really want to mess around, why bother with a young man who has just been crowned?

"I heard that Old Lady Duanmu intends to make Yanhou replace the Lu family and reign over the world." However, these people are here, but they don't want the rhythm of the topic to remain in Jian Xubai's hands, and at this moment, Su Shaoge suddenly said, "Could it be that Yanhou is going to give me a support today, so that we can revitalize the family?" ”

Of course, this is a temptation.

Although Su Shaoge had already clearly asked Jian Xubai about usurping the throne when he arrived first, this would be a lot of ways, and everyone was still breathless, and subconsciously looked at Jian Xubai, waiting for his answer.

"The second son is really a noble man who forgets things." Jian Xubai smiled faintly, and calmly greeted their gaze and gaze, "I have just made it clear that this seat will be sat by His Royal Highness King Su!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the empty imperial chair.

"How does this work?!" Hearing this, everyone had different expressions, and Wei Xi, who seemed to be standing with Su Shaoge before abandoning his previous suspicions, immediately objected in a deep voice, "Not to mention that King Su is now only the nephew of the first emperor, the first emperor has a parent on his knees, how can there be a reason to be a nephew to cross the parent-child inheritance?!" Just said that Yan Hou mentioned the decline of the family gate valve, saying that it was because of the imperial examination, but in the final analysis, it was not because the royal family of the past dynasties was eyeing us and other noble families, and they thought it was a trouble, so they figured out such a strategy to weaken us? ! ”

"King Su has outstanding qualifications, if he ascends the throne, even if he receives the favor of our family, he will inevitably follow the example of the first emperor when he turns back, and he will take revenge, regard us as a flood beast and a big trouble, and want to get rid of us and wait for him to be fast!"

"In this way, wouldn't it be wise for us to lose our wife and lose our soldiers?!"

Hearing this, except for Su Shaoge's expressionless face, several people standing on their side all nodded one after another, looking at Jian Xubai's gaze, a little strange: Although this Yanhou has been famous for his status and popularity since the Xianjia Dynasty, he is not an unknown figure.

But in the eyes of people like them, who are either in charge of a family or in a high position in the temple and hold power, they are just a lucky relative!

Those who know the inside story will even laugh secretly: as a chess piece and a proton without knowing it!

To put it simply, the people here, including Su Shaoge, didn't actually pay much attention to Jian Xubai before-even if they paid attention to Yanhou Mansion before, it was mainly because: the Empress Dowager loves Yanhou very much, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom prefers the fourth room, and the old lady Duanmu is such a grandchild...... Such reasons.

As for Jane and Void itself, there is nothing to be afraid of.

So although he was put on the table by Jian Xubai, he had to come here in a hurry to find out what Jian Xubai wanted, and after listening to Wei Xi's words, he couldn't help but feel: "Doesn't this Yanhou want to snatch the merit of supporting the establishment from the Su family?" This is also naïve! Not to mention that blood is thicker than water, with the Empress Dowager Su here, it is impossible for King Su not to pull a bias for his mother's family, just say that these are the emperor's credits...... What credit do they have? ”

Some people who know the past have sighed a little, "It's been decades!" Why doesn't Old Madam Duanmu have a long memory? Defeated in the heart of the lord of Yishui before, he lured the wolf into the room, but this time he actually compromised with his grandson? It's a pity that her grandson is going to make her miserable! ”

People who think this way think that Jian Xubai was able to design them this time because of Old Lady Duanmu!

"According to Wei Shangshu, is it impossible to support the king of Su?" However, when Jian heard the words, he didn't mean to show timidity, and only said calmly, "So in Wei Shangshu's opinion, who should be established?" ”

Wei Xi was stunned, in his words, of course, it was best to set up his grandson as the crown prince!

But the Wei family had already lost miserably when the palace was seized, and then when he fled to the forbidden army camp outside the city for help, he thought that he had a chance to return to his roots, who knew that all this was the calculation of the old lady Duanmu and Shen Liu - the Su family may still have some bargaining chips to negotiate conditions now, but the Wei family has completely failed.

He now says that he will support the crown prince...... It's ridiculous.

Yi Weixi was in a trance for a moment, and said lightly: "Then it depends on which side Yanhou is on?" If the Marquis of Yan is loyal to the country and elects King Su to the throne, we have nothing to say! If Yan Hou is the successor of the Jinxiu Hall and stands on the side of us noble families...... Yanhou still wants to establish the king of Su, I think, I have to give everyone a reason to second? ”

"If you don't set up a king, you will set up a young and ignorant king." Jian Xubai said calmly, "Have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

Wei Xi frowned, exchanged glances with the people around him, and said, "What does Yan Hou mean by this?" ”

"When the young lord is in the court, he naturally relies more on the important ministers of the court. However, above the court, there are not one or two ears who can weigh the ministers. ”

"Regents, maybe they will be guaranteed to work together?"

"If you can't, repeat the mistake of the ancestor and Gu Xiang in the early years of Xianjia, you can imagine what the situation will be at that time!"

"If the young master's qualifications are mediocre, he will not be able to take up the burden of the society after he grows up, and Emperor Huizong is an example;"

"If the young master is wise and powerful, and he will accept the power of the Son of Heaven, it will be a repetition of the first emperor."

Jian Xubai said this slowly, and said, "I once heard the palace people tell each other privately, saying that the king of Liang once had the saying that 'the monarch and the minister do not have the same heart', saying that it is for the monarch Although he keeps saying that he hopes that the more pillars of the country the better, in fact, he is deeply afraid that after the courtiers sit down, they will either usurp their positions or empty their powers; ”

After he paused, seeing that everyone was silent, Fang continued, "Therefore, although King Liang is unbearable, his words are also one-sided, but according to what I see, it is not all unreasonable. ”

"As Wei Shangshu said, the reason why the imperial examination appeared, and it was adopted by the royal family, and the achievement of today's world-famous talent ceremony, in the final analysis, is because the royal family does not want to see the Wang clan gate valve control the government and the opposition, so this strategy is used!"

"In the past, the dispute between the temple was probably a dispute between the monarch and the minister!"

"And the courtiers will naturally unite tacitly, so that the monarch is helpless!"

This is as if before the imperial examination, even if the high-grade high-ranking families had contradictions with each other, they did not hesitate to be consistent on the issue of monopolizing the government and the opposition and restricting imperial power.

Because it is a guarantee of the longevity of their family.

Whoever violates this article and dares to stand on the emperor's side will be abandoned by the entire family, including those Shu clans who are lucky enough to get the office, and they will also have a united front with the family gate lords at this time - people have finally mixed up from the Shu clan, how can they not want their descendants not to suffer from themselves, and they can sit back and enjoy their success?

And at that time, the court was basically negligible.

The main battle lies between the royal family and the gate valve.

The six valves in the sea joined forces, and the royal family was difficult to support alone.

Because of this, the former son of the gate valve even disdained to marry with the royal family.

And the royal family knows this contempt, but they are helpless.

Jian Xubai continued lightly, "But since the appearance of the imperial examination, the court has gradually divided into two factions: scholars and scholars. From now on, the monarch does not have to go into battle to participate in the battle in person, just watch the intrigue between these two factions, and even the intrigue between the soldiers and the scholars, and the Shu and the Shu! Even if you are a monarch with ordinary qualifications, keep in mind the word 'balance', you can sit firmly on the throne, and you don't have to be like the royal family a hundred years ago, and dare not slack off any gate valve! ”

"The family gate valve has declined, the Shu clan has risen, and the imperial power has also risen - in the final analysis, in this change, the only thing to lose is the family gate valve!"

He turned back to the topic, "Even if it is to blackmail the young master to make the world such a good situation, it is difficult for the current family gate valve to have the last laugh!" On the contrary, it is easy to become a tiger riding a difficult trend! ”

"As for simply plotting to usurp the throne...... The emperor at the beginning of the prosperity of the six valves in the sea is now safe? ”

"There are thousand-year-old families in the world, but there is no thousand-year-old royal family!"

"Do you want to be prosperous for a while, or do you want to take a long-term view like your ancestors?"

Jian Xubai said lightly, "As the saying goes, it's good! Take history as a mirror, and know the rise and fall! ”

"Facts have proved that the opposition between the monarch and the minister has always been there, and it is not beneficial to be the infighting of the courtiers, but it is just to make the position of the royal family more and more stable - therefore, I invite you to come here today and propose to recommend that King Su be elected as the emperor, not for King Su, but for you, of course, for the Yanhou Mansion!"

He said meaningfully, "Who is not tempted by long-term wealth? Although I am not a child of the Duanmu clan, I also hope that my children and grandchildren can be well-dressed and carefree! ”

"What Yanhou expects is also our lifelong thought." Su Shaoge said calmly, "However, whether it is before the arrival of the princes, or in front of everyone's eyes at this moment, it has been made clear: we are not ignorant of the disadvantages of infighting, but the future of the family is rich and noble, and there is no way back!" ”

His eyes flickered, and he said, "As you said, the prosperity of the imperial examination, the royal family, the Shu family, the only one who suffers the loss, is the only one who waits for the family!" ”

"Yanhou...... Could it be that he plans to abolish the imperial examination and return to the system of recommendation? ”

"The imperial examination is now the trend of the times, let's talk about it, even if the royal family is willing to destroy the Great Wall, this person in the world will not agree!" Jian Xubai shook his head and said lightly, "However, even though the family gate valve has declined all the way from Xiyong to the present, it still has an advantage, which is enough to regain control of the government and the opposition again, and coerce the Son of Heaven invisibly!" ”

Su Shaoge and the others looked at each other, and after a while, they asked in unison: "What is the advantage?!" ”

At this moment, even the most calm people, between the doubts, they can't help but be infected with a touch of eagerness and anticipation!
