In Zhao Jianyan's mansion, Mu Fan's life was more leisurely, often wandering around various courtyards, and occasionally walking outside the mansion to take a look.

For half a month, none of the servants in the mansion did not know him. At first, everyone was still a little curious, but after contact, they felt that he was quite ordinary, and he was not very special.

Mu Fan knew a little more about Zhao Ying's affairs, and he had no way of knowing whether Zhao Ying would gain a firm foothold, but Zhao Chen's attitude towards Zhao Ying was not as bad as he imagined.

That evening, he moved a chair and lay down in the shade of a tree in the courtyard. This weather has a limited effect on him, and he just likes the feeling, just like when he was in Yungang.

Zhao Jianyan returned to the mansion and immediately went to the West Courtyard to find Mu Fan. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Mu Fan leisurely under the shade of the tree, and said, "Yan Qing, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Mu Fan hurriedly got down from the recliner and said respectfully, "Your Highness is here." ”

Zhao Jianyan ordered his subordinates to send some ice-cold fruits, and then slapped his butt next to the trunk of the tree, and said with a gloomy face: "Now the Xuanmen and the imperial court are competing for the three northwestern states. ”

"How's it going?"

"The situation...... Oh, the Xuanmen lion opened his mouth. Zhao Jianyan's face was full of disdain, "I don't want to see who has contributed more to the rebellion in the northwest." ”

Mu Fan said: "This is just the beginning of the talks, it is normal for them to be bigger, and there will be more room for maneuver in the negotiation process." ”

"He wants to be beautiful!" Zhao Jianyan sneered, "Before the war in the northwest, the people over there at the end of the night drove out the power of Xuanmen in the northwest, and finally forced them out, and now they want to go back, how can there be such a good thing in the world." ”

Mu Fan asked, "How much does Xuanmen want?" ”

"Guess, guess boldly, and see if you can."

"They want to re-establish the Xuanmen branch and not allow the imperial court to interfere?"

Zhao Jianyan said: "Guess further." ”

"They demand that the imperial court not interfere in the affairs of all sect branches and be completely autonomous?"

"It's small, guess bigger."

Mu Fan frowned and said, "I can't think of it, this is big enough." ”

"They want territory, can you imagine? Fuck the turf! Zhao Jianyan said angrily.

"If you want territory, Xuanmen wants to become the second Zhao Xuan." Mu Fan realized Xuanmen's wolf ambitions.

Zhao Jianyan laughed angrily, "Do you know what they said?" They want Xizhou and Qinzhou, which are called meritorious in quelling chaos and rewarded with fiefdoms! ”

Mu Fan said: "The name is very good, but in fact, it is to monopolize the financial power and military power, not just as simple as splitting the earth and sealing the king, it is almost the same as a country within a country." ”

Zhao Jianyan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Yongcheng, "That Yongcheng is not a country within a country, fortunately, there is only one city, if Xuanmen is allowed to get Qinzhou and Xizhou, it will not be a city land, but a real country!" ”

"We're just starting to talk about it now."

"At first, you didn't go to the court, if you saw the faces of those people, you would have wanted to tear their faces apart, cramp and skin them, and drag them out to feed the dogs." Zhao Jianyan's emotions gradually calmed down, not as excited as when he came.

Mu Fan muttered, "Since it's just the beginning, let's wait patiently." Xuanmen doesn't have that much confidence, and it is impossible to reach an agreement on the price offered now. ”

"That being said, I have to thank the night end for attacking the Xuanmen headquarters, otherwise it is really impossible to predict what direction the situation will develop." Zhao Jianyan said with emotion.

Nighttime attacked the headquarters of the Xuanmen, causing the Xuanmen to hastily hand over the master. Le Zhengge has just sat in the position of the lord, the foundation is not yet solid, the old-school forces have not completely surrendered, and there are still some people who are resisting stubbornly, which gives other forces room to operate.

However, the name of Lezheng Song is right, and the integration of the old and new factions is no longer stoppable, and the two sides will inevitably form a joint force. Although other forces can get in the way now, it won't take long for Le Zhengge to become the absolute authority of the Xuanmen.

Zhao Xuan had previously led his troops to attack the imperial court's garrison, causing heavy losses to the imperial court. Now, according to the recount, the number of dead and wounded exceeded 830,000, and more than 300,000 soldiers were lost in the subsequent battles, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Zhao Jianyan asked: "You are Ye Feng's disciple, Ye Feng is in a high position in the Sword Sect, have you heard of the current ...... of the Sword Sect Direction. ”

Mu Fan smiled bitterly, "I stand on His Highness's side, although the master still takes care of my safety, these major events have been ......."

He shook his head, "Ahhhh......h

Seeing this, Zhao Jianyan comforted: "It's okay, forget if you don't know." ”

"But I personally feel that the Sword Sect will help the imperial court during this time."

"Oh?" Zhao Jianyan was interested, "You say." ”

"The main thing is that the Xuanmen has now ended the split, and it won't be long before it will be twisted into a rope. The advantage of the Sword Sect has become smaller, and if Xuanmen eats the fat in the northwest, Xuanmen will not turn the sky upside down. ”

Zhao Jianyan shook his head and said: "I have also thought about what you said, but this kind of big thing cannot be guessed." ”

Mu Fan smiled: "If we two young people can think of it, the people above will definitely think of it." I guess Your Majesty has already sent people to contact forces such as the Sword Sect and the Night End, and I don't think it was negotiated, but everyone has the same interests, and it shouldn't take long to reach an agreement. When the time comes, the Xuanmen can't eat the three states in the northwest, and if they bite it, they may break their teeth! ”

Zhao Jianyan said with a smile: "In Li, I'll go back and inquire to see if I can get some news, and it will save me from worrying." ”

"There are so many smart people that there are a lot of smart people who go to court in the palace. A few people who don't understand bullshit may be pretending to be stupid and speaking up for others. In short, the sky fell and there was a high top. ”

"I want to be a tall person, too."

Mu Fan said: "There will be a day." ”

"Tell me, if I want to be a tall person, what do I do?"

"How to do it...... Mu Fan said seriously: "I think it's better not to fight." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"If you don't like it, it's useless for His Highness to fight now, but it will cause others to be bored."

Zhao Jianyan said with a smile: "Go on, the truth is often not very good. ”

"I have a proposal, and Your Highness decides for himself whether to adopt it or not."

Zhao Jianyan laughed, "You just have to say it, I'll listen." ”

Mu Fan pointed to the shade of the tree above his head, and then pointed to the trunk behind Zhao Jianyan, and said with a smile: "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." ”

"You mean...... Want me to find a big tree? ”

"Exactly!" Mu Fan puffed up his strength and said: "The eldest prince and the second prince are the most likely to succeed to the throne, the eldest prince is the eldest son, the second prince is the son-in-law, and the second prince is more likely to succeed to the throne, I suggest that His Royal Highness rely on the big tree of the eldest prince." ”

"I'm afraid that the eldest prince won't believe me."

Mu Fan Zhengse said: "At present, His Royal Highness does not have any threat, as long as he puts away his ambitions and concentrates on doing practical things, don't care about anything else, and support the eldest prince at some time." ”

Zhao Jianyan said with a smile: "When I do things beautifully, I will slowly attract the attention of the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court." ”

"More than that, maybe someone is willing to support His Highness."

"Well, your words have strengthened my confidence, Zhou Xun...... That's what I've suggested before, so let me think about it again. ”
