Zhao Jianyan said: "Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are not optimistic about me, it is useless for us to fight, it is better to do practical things." ”

"Your Highness is not fighting?" Mu Fan asked softly.

"Fight! But not now. It's useless to fight at the moment, as long as we continue to do practical things and do things more beautifully than the other, we can make our father and the emperor and the ministers of the DPRK and China look sideways. ”

Mu Fan said: "My subordinates understand, dare to ask Your Highness, when will I go to the Imperial City?" Do you want to go with Your Highness? ”

"Come with me, the time is uncertain, wait for me to get a reply from those people."

"Yes."

Zhao Jianyan got up and asked, "How are you lately?" ”

"It's good."

"I heard that you were seriously injured in Xuanmen, and you have dark injuries on your body."

Mu Fan smiled: "It's fake, the people in the sect helped deal with it, and they deceived those people in the Xuanmen." ”

Zhao Jianyan breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, there is no problem with your foundation. ”

"Not only is there no problem, but my strength is getting better and better."

"Congratulations!"

Mu Fan said: "Did His Highness come alone, or did he come with the welcoming team?" ”

"Come along, that Zhao Ying...... It was so audacious that her father rebelled and even imprisoned me. Now that her father is dead, she doesn't find a place to hide, hide for the rest of her life, but comes out to die! Zhao Jianyan didn't have a good impression of Zhao Ying.

Mu Fan said: "Your Highness wants to kill her? ”

Zhao Jianyan didn't reply immediately, he paused for a while, and said to Mu Fan: "It's not a secret, I do have this kind of thought. ”

"Is Your Highness going to take action?"

"No, not yet." Zhao Jianyan pondered, "Look at the situation, if someone else does it, naturally we don't need to get involved." No matter what, she is also the woman my brother Ming Media is marrying, and she is the princess. I'll do it...... If someone finds out, it will be true. ”

Mu Fan said with a smile: "There are many people in the court who want to get rid of Zhao Ying, I don't think she can live long, and why didn't Your Majesty tear up the holy decree and still marry her to the eldest prince?" ”

"I couldn't figure out what my father was thinking, and I was very strange at first. From the daughter of the thief to the princess, the span is too large. Zhao Jianyan smiled bitterly, "This is also one of the reasons why I don't do anything to Zhao Ying for the time being." ”

It is rare for Mu Fan to tell the truth, but unfortunately Zhao Jianyan has no answer. He asked, "Has His Highness's strength in the imperial court increased?" ”

"Yes, but the growth is limited. They are all small and small officials, and there are not many people who support me. No one knows the specific condition of my father's body, but it has not been good in the past few years, and some people in the court have begun to secretly bet on who will be able to do the ...... in the future."

Mu Fan stepped back a little, straightened his sleeves, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "It must be Your Highness." ”

Zhao Jianyan advised: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future." ”

"My subordinates understand, and I will say less in the future."

Zhao Jianyan said: "It hasn't been long since you returned to the Sword Sect from the sacrificial ceremony, and you have cultivated a lot, and there is no easy life in the Imperial City." ”

Mu Fan smiled: "It's nothing, since my subordinates have chosen this path, they will go on, it doesn't matter if it's easy or not." ”

"Okay, I read you right." Zhao Jianyan and Mu Fan looked at each other across the distance of two pumice stones, and they had the posture of a monarch and a minister.

"Your Highness, I don't know anything about it."

Zhao Jianyan said: "You ask." ”

"When the Xuanmen headquarters was in turmoil, why didn't the imperial court take action?"

"It's not that I don't want to move, it's that the time hasn't come." Zhao Jianyan's face was gloomy, and he didn't hide it in front of Mu Fan, "There was an accident at the Xuanmen headquarters, and the night ended with the Mu family and some scattered forces to deal with Xuanmen. Xuanmen came to the imperial court for help, but his father refused on the grounds that the three northwestern states were at war and the imperial court had no extra strength. If the imperial court had more than enough strength and was strong enough, it would have taken the opportunity to destroy the Xuanmen and save the Xuanmen...... Hmph, don't even think about it! ”

What he said was true, and the court and Xuanmen are still in a state of discord between their faces and hearts. Xuanmen wanted to control the imperial court, and the imperial court wanted to completely get rid of Xuanmen's control. In this way, the imperial court categorically will not help Xuanmen, Xuanmen has free up his hands, and the imperial court of the three northwestern states may have to give up a lot of interests, which is still a small profit.

In case Xuanmen took action against the emperor and Huo Wujia's new policy, and then secretly supported King Fu in the southeast, wouldn't it be bad if the imperial court couldn't take care of it at that time.

After weighing many parties, the imperial court turned a blind eye to the attack on the Xuanmen headquarters.

Mu Fan asked again: "Does Your Highness know who the swordsman who killed Bing Xuan is?" ”

Zhao Jianyan lowered his head and thought about it, and said with some uncertainty: "Ziqing." ”

"Your Highness has found his name?" Mu Fan said excitedly.

"I heard that the headquarters of Xuanmen was attacked, and he and some people from Xuanmen joined forces to kill Bingxuan, I don't know if it is a person from the imperial court, if so, he should be rewarded!"

Mu Fan turned his face sideways and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance and was silent for a long time.

Zhao Jianyan noticed Mu Fan's abnormality and asked, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Mu Fan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Bing Xuan is a remnant of the previous dynasty, he should be killed!" But he saved me, and as far as I'm concerned, I want him to live. ”

Zhao Jianyan said: "Human nature, as long as you can separate public and private, it's nothing. ”

Mu Fan immediately responded: "This is natural, subordinates can distinguish between public and private, otherwise they would not have taken refuge in His Highness, and they will have a bright future with the master." ”

Zhao Jianyan smiled: "I can trust you." ”

"Your Highness, have you heard of Ziqing before?"

"Nope."

Mu Fan said: "I have been in contact with Bingxuan, and I know that Bingxuan's strength is not simple, although Ziqing joined forces with others to kill him, but Ziqing's strength can also be underestimated." ”

"I've been careful and inquired a bit, but ...... I didn't pay much attention to it. Are you interested? ”

Mu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I am very interested, whether public or private." ”

"Oh...... Why? ”

"First of all, Ziqing suddenly appeared, as if he was deliberately trying to hide what happened before; Second, Ziqing had a clear goal, there were people from the Ye Duan and Mu families at that time, and he only chose Bingxuan, either for personal vendetta or for business. It's okay to say personal vendettas, Bing Xuan has lived for more than a thousand years, and some enemies are normal, if it is a business matter, it ......" Mu Fan said this, and glanced at Zhao Jianyan, "This Ziqing may have a lot of articles on him." ”

Zhao Jianyan frowned, "I was careless, I didn't pay attention to it before, so it seems that I have to pay more attention when I return to the imperial city." ”

Mu Fan said: "It's not too late. ”

Zhao Jianyan laughed and said, "What you reminded was. By the way, tell you a big thing, a big thing that will happen! ”

"Listen up."

"Huo Wujia may want to marry the eldest princess."

Mu Fan hurriedly asked, "Eldest Princess Anping?" ”

Zhao Jianyan nodded, "The matter has not been finalized yet, but it is possible." ”

Mu Fan was puzzled: "Isn't Senior Brother Huo unwilling to marry the eldest princess?" ”

"Perhaps for the sake of the new policy, Huo Wujia has done his best and killed a large number of ministers from the government and the opposition. The father wants to tell the court and the opposition that he trusts Huo Wujia and will not be separated by anyone. Huo Wujia wants to go one step further and deter the courtiers, and he also needs this marriage. ”
