Chapter 495: Think-tank

Jian, the minister of the Tianlong Department, can be said to be the elder of the two dynasties, he is only loyal to the emperor and does not participate in any battles, so Emperor Xia has great trust in him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Jian said nothing in the Tianlong Department, no one could disobey his orders, so even if the people below stood on Xia Fanxin's side, it actually didn't have much effect.

And the deputy ministers of the Tianlong Ministry are often served by relatives of the emperor, of course, their strength is excellent, otherwise they would not be able to become vice ministers.

Among the four vice ministers, He Yuan is the younger brother of the current queen and the uncle of the country, and it is reasonable for him to support Xia Fanxin. But there are still two deputy ministers who support Xia Fanxin, they are Xia Wei, the king of peacekeeping, and Xia Jiang, the king of Zhenxi.

Xia Wei is the cousin of Emperor Xia and has the title of the strongest shield. Xia Jiang is the cousin of Emperor Xia, but he and Xia Wei are not the same father, and his strength is even higher than Xia Wei, known as the strongest spear, with a golden dragon Yao Tian halberd, comparable to the artifact of the White Bit people.

There are many people in the royal family, but in the Xia Empire, the emperor generally demotes a lot of side branches to commoners, and those who can stay in the court are loyal to the emperor and powerful people.

Xia Jiang and Xia Wei had followed Emperor Xia Yan a long time ago, so their two side branches were able to retain and sit firmly in the position of the deputy minister of the Tianlong Ministry.

As for the last deputy minister, he is also the second master of the Tenryu Ministry. The first master is naturally Minister Jane, and this second master is called "Faceless", no one has ever seen his appearance, it is said that he cultivates the Void Fighting Qi, and he has cultivated himself like air.

You must know that the Dou Master can't change the structure of his body, but he has reached it without face, and he doesn't know how to cultivate. This man, like Jane, never asked about the battle between Korea and China.

The next eight strong generals, almost all of them are supporters of Xia Fanxin, not to mention the deputy generals and ordinary members below. But back to the topic at the beginning, Minister Jian didn't support Xia Fanxin, so the Tianlong Ministry wouldn't be able to make any waves.

"At most, they pay lip service to support, and they never dare to really make a move. If the people of the Tianlong Department make a move without authorization, it is good that Minister Jian does not know, but if they are discovered, they will definitely taste a lot of hardships, and Uncle Guo and the prince are no exception. Simon Li said with a smile.

Chen Ran took the opportunity to turn to the topic: "Do you know about the Xiajiang military exercise?"

Ximen left the road: "Of course I know, this is the annual event of the Tianlong Ministry. The Tianlong Department guards the Shenlong City, and there are a lot of personnel, including the forbidden army in the palace, which is regarded as a member of the Tianlong Department. The Tenryu Division rarely participates in battles, and in order to maintain its combat effectiveness, it is natural to conduct training. Not to mention the daily practice, the annual military drill is the highlight, everyone is doing real work, and injuries are commonplace!"

"I heard that only half of the people participate in the annual Xiajiang military exercise, is that true?" Chen Ran asked again.

Ximen Li nodded and said, "The people of the Tianlong Department want to guard Shenlong City, can't everyone go to the military exercise, right? But even if half of the people participated, the number of people was very large. Except for the masters of the Tianlong Division, there are 150,000 forbidden troops alone, do you think the scene is not big? In addition, there are two people who cannot be shaken by thunder, and they are bound to participate in military exercises every year. ”

"Who is it?" Chen Ran hurriedly asked.

Ximen Li said proudly: "One is Minister Jian, he wants to command the overall situation, so naturally he can't do less." The other one is me, I've been participating for five years in a row!"

Chen Ran's face sank, Xia Jiang had to deal with Jian during the military exercise, but if Ximen was there, it was very likely that Emperor Xia would detect it in advance.

Xia Yan is so partial to this illegitimate child, if Ximen Li loses contact with the ban, Xia Yan will definitely ask immediately.

Looking at Ximen Li's innocent look, Chen Ran's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone. He smiled kindly: "Your Highness, can you not participate in this year's Xiajiang military exercise?"

Ximen Li looked puzzled: "Why? Actually, I didn't want to participate in the military exercise for a long time, but I was forced by my father to go every year, so I couldn't help it." ”

Chen Ran instigated: "Going to the military exercise will not help you at all, and you have to live in the army for seven days, and you are not in the court for these seven days, maybe Xia Fanxin will secretly advance to the emperor and slander." ”

"Won't you...... I've been there so many times, and every time I come back, I'm rewarded by my father, and I don't see what Xia Fanxin can do to me?"

Chen Ran shook his head solemnly: "This year is different from previous years, King Lin was imprisoned in the palace because of your affairs, King Lu's whereabouts are unknown, King Xiang is hiding in the palace and does not dare to come out, how could Xia Fanxin let go of such a good opportunity? But if you leave, then ......"

"Yes, yes, I must not leave Shenlong City!" Ximen Li was frightened by Chen Ran's words, but then his face became sad, "How can I convince my father?"

Chen Ran had already thought of an idea, and said: "You can divert your attention, just say that you don't want to stay in the Tianlong Department, you want to study more, stay in the palace and ask those respected elders, I think the emperor will definitely agree to you." ”

"Really?" Simon was a little unconvinced.

Chen Ran nodded affirmatively: "You have never mentioned this to the emperor, right?"

Ximen Li nodded: "My father asked me to be in the Tianlong Department, how dare I make other requests." At the beginning, I made a few fuss, but I was scolded so badly that I don't dare to mention it now. ”

"And what was the reason you were talking about at the time?"

"I'll just say that the Celestial Dragon Department is boring, my strength is strong enough, and I don't need to stay any longer. ”

Chen Ran patted his forehead, there is no good reason, it's strange that Xia Yan can agree to your request! This time is different from the past, when Chen Ran and Xia Yan were talking, he already had a plan to recall Ximen Li to his side.

Now that Ximen Li took the initiative to propose, and he was humbly learning, how could Xia Yan not agree?

"Your Highness, you just have to go to the emperor and say it. You are not here to have fun, but to study, and even if the emperor disagrees, he will not scold you the same as the previous few times. ”

Ximen was overjoyed and said, "You're right, I'll go and tell my father! You can enjoy the baptism of dragon qi here!"

As soon as the words fell, Ximen left in a hurry.

Chen Ran shook his head and smiled secretly, it seemed that supporting Ximen Li was the right choice. If Ximen Li can stay in Shenlong City, and then instigate him a few more words, and let him drag Xia Yan during the military exercise, then the success of Xianjue's plan will be even greater!

Ximen Li had already left, and Chen Ran couldn't find anything if he stayed in the Divine Dragon Pool, unless he demolished the Divine Dragon Pool, but he definitely couldn't do that.

As soon as Chen Ran returned to the shore, a man jumped up in the pool.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Ran became vigilant. Since he jumped out after him, maybe the other party heard the conversation between him and Ximenli. Because it is wrapped in dragon energy, the visibility is very low, and it is impossible to release the power of darkness, so it is very normal for others to hear the content of the conversation.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Chen Ran asked.

The man touched his beard and said, "Peacekeeper Xia Wei is me, I didn't expect Ximen to accept you as a think tank, what are your intentions?"

Chen Ran sneered: "It seems that you have overheard our conversation, but this is not a secret, if you have the ability, you will stop His Highness Ximen." In addition, the reason why I support His Royal Highness Ximen is just because I don't like Xia Fanxin. ”

Xia Wei frowned and said: "No matter what your identity was before, now you are just a newcomer who has just joined the Zero Department, you want to get involved in the court battle so quickly, it seems that your life is too long! Brother Huang let you go, it doesn't mean that you can save your life." On the contrary, from the moment you become a member of the Zero Division, you must be cautious at all times, because the imperial brother can kill you with a single thought!"

Chen Ran calmly responded, "Thank you for your concern, but you better take care of yourself." ”

After he finished speaking, he came to the ground without looking back, and when he came out of the rockery, He Yuan glared at him fiercely.

Liang Yefan and Liang Tianqi had already left, and Chen Ran went back to the mansion of the zero department alone. With the identity of the Zero Division, the entire Shenlong City can go anywhere, except for the Imperial City, of course.

Ximen Li does not live in the East Palace like Xia Fanxin, but has his own general's mansion on Zhenlong Avenue, so Chen Ran can go to him openly...... (To be continued.) )
