Gu Fengxun was still the first time to see Fan Jiujin's miserable sale, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass him, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and Deputy Commander Fan is not a fairy, this matter, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to ask Han Lingyin and Lin Ge Lao to ask." ”

One is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the other is the head of a hundred officials with deep roots, and there are many officials from families under his hands.

"By the way, there is also Huang Dewang, he is an old man next to Emperor Cheng, and he may know something." Gu Fengxun added another sentence.

As soon as Ling Han heard the reason, he immediately ordered the chamberlain to go out to spread the word, and only then did he sigh lightly and said, "Why did such a force suddenly emerge again?" ”

The Jin Palace, most of the other three palaces did not run, this is directly related to the succession to the throne of Western Chu, it is simply incredible.

Huang Dewang came the fastest, he was already in charge of the affairs of the palace, and as soon as he heard Ling Han mention this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to announce Han Lingyin and Lin Ge anymore, the old slave knows about this matter." ”

Ling Han was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and ordered someone to go out to inform Han Lingyin and Lin Ge Lao that they didn't have to enter the palace, and then ordered Huang Dewang to elaborate.

Huang Dewang glanced at Gu Fengxun, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Those people ...... In fact, it is subordinate to Zongzheng Temple, Your Majesty should know that since the beginning of the Four Princes' Mansion, the people who serve the Four Kings have to be trained and selected by Zongzheng Temple, and these people are placed in Zongzheng Temple by the emperor's order. ”

Gu Fengxun was slightly surprised, and then he understood after thinking about it, the inheritance of the throne has always been a cautious and cruel and bloody thing, the emperor not only needs to understand the talents and temperaments displayed by the heirs on the surface, but also to know what they are like in private, the emperor has placed people in the Four Princes' Mansion through Zongzheng Temple, it is not a strange thing at all, on the contrary, it is a strange thing not to arrange. It's just that he didn't expect that this matter was arranged through Zongzheng Temple.

In other words, in fact, that force should be considered its own, but it is just ...... Gu Fengxun raised his eyebrows playfully, when he took over Zongzheng Temple, no one handed over this force to him, I am afraid that even Tao Huaping could not contact this force, otherwise, how could Ling Han have escaped assassination so many times when he was young, presumably in addition to the people who protected him on the surface, this person in the dark should also remember a great achievement.

This force should be directly in the hands of Emperor Cheng after the "Xijing February Red" case, and when Emperor Cheng was dying, he gave it to Huang Dewang, as for why Huang Dewang did not hand it over to Tao Huaping or himself, this reason is probably very simple, whether it is Tao Huaping or Gu Fengxun himself, they are not the real Western Chu clan. Emperor Cheng couldn't trust Tao Huaping, he would rather hand over this force to Huang Dewang, a confidant, and Huang Dewang couldn't trust Gu Fengxun, so he didn't give it to him, but why didn't he hand it over directly to Ling Han?

The reason is naturally in Huang Dewang's mouth.

It's just that Huang Dewang didn't explain directly, but looked at Gu Fengxun in embarrassment.

There is something you can't say to his face. Gu Fengxun shook his head and smiled, beckoned to Fan Jiujin, and said, "I have something to tell you, let's go out and talk about it." ”

It's just that he got up, and was grabbed by Ling Han's hand, and Fan Jiujin over there looked at it, yes, he was the only one here, and he left neatly.

Huang Dewang looked at this scene and could only smile bitterly. If Emperor Cheng is still there, knowing the relationship between His Majesty and Gu Fengxun, he doesn't know whether he will sigh or be angry.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the old slave can't trust Gu Siqing, it's just these people...... Before his death, the first emperor confessed that the old slave would be handed over to His Majesty after His Majesty had an heir, but it was just ......"

No one expected that Ling Han would not take the usual path, but as a result, these people smashed Huang Dewang's hands and became a hot potato, and they didn't know who to hand it over. Originally, Huang Dewang wanted to wait and see again, maybe His Majesty would change his mind one day, and Concubine Kenna would have a child.

Ling Han listened to Huang Dewang's words, and laughed and laughed, it was his fault that he made Huang Dewang embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I know about this, just those people, you just continue to take care of them, don't teach them to make trouble, keep an eye on the Jin Wangfu, as long as you don't let the King of Jin go wrong, the rest doesn't matter. In addition, the other three palaces, you can also say hello, maybe there will be a master at some time, make some preparations in advance, don't be like the Jin Palace, it will become a pot of porridge. ”

Huang Dewang was taken aback, these manpower are very important, His Majesty didn't know about it before, but now he knows, His Majesty neither took over nor handed it over to Gu Fengxun, what does it mean? It's just that this thought flashed past, and he woke up again, His Majesty clearly expressed his trust and reuse of him, and he should be grateful to Dade, so why bother to touch His Majesty's thoughts, he didn't say a word at the moment, received the order, and then said some words that were heart-wrenching, and then he retired.

As soon as he left, Ling Han immediately turned his head to Gu Fengxun and said, "I don't want you to take on any more things, it's not as convenient for you to manage these manpower as Huang Dewang, when you have the right person in your hands, I will teach him to hand them over to you." ”

Gu Fengxun nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to explain, the minister understands." ”

If you just manage some private manpower, of course, it's not a troublesome thing, the trouble is that these manpower is lurking in the Four Kings' Mansion as shadows, and there are many trivial and trivial things to report every day, and then you have to analyze and deal with it, and get useful information from it, which is very laborious. If Gu Fengxun had reliable and capable people who could handle it for him, Ling Han would be relieved that these manpower would be handed over to him, but there was no such choice, Ling Han naturally couldn't let Gu Fengxun handle it personally, so he simply kept the status quo unchanged, but could still make Huang Dewang be more loyal to him.

Ling Han also knew that Gu Fengxun could understand his thoughts, but what he needed to say still had to be made clear, and he would not allow any misunderstanding between them.

"The matter of the heir you mentioned before, I also have a plan in my heart, sooner or later, there will be people in the Four Princes' Mansion one after another, and it will be inappropriate for Huang Dewang to take care of these manpower at that time, Gu Qing, you have to cultivate a suitable person to handle this matter for you as soon as possible."

At the moment, there is a Jin Palace, the problem is not big, once the four kings stand side by side, the battle for inheritance will fall into the open, and the people who hold these hands will have the ability to influence the battle for inheritance, unless Ling Han wants to deal with these things personally, otherwise, it can only be handed over to the person he trusts the most, Gu Fengxun is naturally the only candidate.

"The minister knows it." Gu Fengxun still nodded, of course there are suitable candidates, the premise is that he has to fish people out of the Qin Palace first.

Now that the envoys of the Qin State have arrived in Xijing and are stranded, Zhao Hao has one more source of intelligence, Xia Min is already difficult to do anything, Guo Nuan has sneaked into the Qin Palace for so long, and he should almost come up with a way to escape, now, there is only one chance left, it is best to let Zhao Hao be in a hurry, and he can't take care of chasing Xia Min who escaped.

There should be an opportunity, and there is still one now, that is, the people from the Wu family who were sent to Xijing by Mrs. Yue Guo.

People had already arrived in Xijing before the arrival of the Qin envoys, and were temporarily placed in the guest courtyard of the Liling Yin Mansion by Han Cha, as a guest of honor, and from time to time they were also entertained, in fact, the main purpose was to understand the situation of the Wu State from the mouths of these people, and the information obtained by the Western Chu corroborated each other, so that it could more accurately judge how the Wu State was destroyed.

The other purpose is similar to Gu Fengxun's intention to buy horse bones with his daughter, Han Cha plans to move these people to make a career in Western Chu, use them as a benchmark, and attract those talents who have escaped from the Wu State. These people may have criticism in their conduct and style, but their knowledge and ability to do things are definitely there, as long as they are given the opportunity, they can get started immediately, and they don't need to cultivate from scratch, which is enough to save a lot of things for Xichu, and the most important thing is that many of these people know a lot about maritime trade, and even many families themselves have a maritime trade business.
