When the court officials left the main house, Xun Fan's room was already in a mess, and Ji Yuan, who didn't know where to hide, stepped over the table and chairs that fell to the ground and walked in.

The subordinate looked at him in surprise, and wanted to stop him from entering, but Xun Fan, who was half leaning on the bed, said, "Please come in from Ji Shizhong." ”

Only then did the subordinate lead Ji Yuan around the gauze tent to the inner room.

Xun Fan said: "You all stand down and stay outside and don't let anyone in." ”

The subordinate stepped back in response.

Ji Yuan picked up a chair from the ground and placed it on the opposite side of the bed, and shook him, "Xun Gong is righteous, Ji is grateful." ”

Xun Fan's face was expressionless, "I'm not doing this to show your gratitude." ”

Ji Yuan lifted his robe and sat down, "I know that Xun Gong is for the stability of the world." ”

Xun Fan said: "I hope that you can continue to assist the general in the future, and not become a villain." ”

Ji Yuan curled the corners of his mouth confidently, "Naturally, then let's talk about giving way." ”

Xun Fan sat up, stared at Ji Yuan with blazing eyes, and said: "Your Majesty is gentle and kind, even if you abdicate, you should have the respect of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Of course," Ji Yuan responded, "The general is benevolent and will treat Your Majesty well, and we will not dare to despise Your Majesty." ”

Xun Fan: "After all, King Langya's lineage is a clan, so he should be treated kindly." ”

Ji Yuan also responded, "As long as they abide by the law and don't do anything rebellious, my girl will not be stingy with money." ”

Xun Fan paused and said: "After all, the Sima clan was once a royal family, and there is also the Cao clan, and the two clans are endless. ”

Ji Yuan paused for a moment and responded, "When Your Majesty grows up, I will ask the general to find a good wife for Your Majesty, but King Chen Liu's lineage is ......."

He said: "Since the death of King Chen Liu, Cao Guo, who inherited the title, is the heir of the side branch, and after many years of fighting, people have long been gone, I will make a statement to the general and send someone to look for it, if I can't find it, I can only find the descendants of Cao Gong, and choose a line to inherit." ”

Xun Fan pursed his lips and said softly: "King Chen Liu's luck is not good, and he has not been able to leave a son and a half daughter, I hope Your Majesty can have a queen." ”

Ji Yuan heard his temptation, and said with a smile: "Xun Gong rest assured, the general is much more generous than the Sima clan in this regard, as long as Your Majesty is in good health, he will definitely be able to have a full house of children and grandchildren in the future." ”

Xun Fan's old face flushed, although it is difficult to conclude the reason why Cao Huan has no children, but he is a noble son and has a wife and concubine, it is said that he should not be able to give birth to a child, and the probability of sterilization should be relatively small.

Not to mention other people, even Xun Fan didn't believe that Cao Huan was exactly that person.

What's more, there are many imperial doctors in the palace and the most advanced medical technology in the country, so can't he really have a child?

What Xun Fan is doing now is to pull another descendant of the former dynasty out to share the pressure of the little emperor, hoping that Zhao Hanzhang can treat them well together.

With Ji Yuan's understanding of Zhao Hanzhang, she would not refuse such a thing, so she could agree on her behalf.

Next, the two discussed some details, such as what specific honors the little emperor should get after abdication, and the fields and slaves are the two most important things, which can ensure the life of the little emperor in the future

Also, the specific operation of the little emperor's abdication next.

The little emperor succeeded to the throne for a short time, he did not do anything bad during his tenure, and if you calculate the calculation of all the achievements during his reign, he can even be called meritorious.

During his reign, he repelled the Xiongnu, recovered the northern land, and unified the north and south......

So he can't say that he is sorry for Dajin, so he abdicated and could only put the pot on his ancestor's head, in fact, this pot is indeed his ancestor's.

There are eclipses and floods in the sky, this is the warning of God, so for the stability of the world and the safety of the people, he is willing to abdicate to Zhao Hanzhang Balabala......

Ji Yuan asked, "When will it start?" ”

Xun Fan lowered his eyes and glanced at his thighs, at this time, I am afraid that the whole city knows that the emperor has proposed to abdicate, if he does not start as soon as possible, he is afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate, and some people will have the heart of rebellion.

So he said: "Tomorrow is still a day off, and I will enter the palace early the day after tomorrow to draft the edict." ”

This edict must not come out of Zhao Hanzhang's hands, and he is the only one who has the courage to draft this edict around the emperor.

Ji Yuan was satisfied, got up to say goodbye, and couldn't help but remind before leaving, "Xun Gong, Xun Yushi seems to have a different opinion from you, living under the same roof, please take care of Xun Gong." ”

Xun Fan's face was tense, and he said unceremoniously: "This is Xun's family matter, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Ji Yuan walked out of the main room, saw the Xun group who was stopped outside the courtyard, smiled at him, and walked directly past him.

Xun Group watched him leave with a gloomy face, and only when he was far away did he retract his gaze and ask the subordinates who stopped him, "Can you go and report to my brother at this time?" ”

The subordinate bowed and saluted, and then went to ask Xun Fan.

Xun Fan let him in.

As soon as the brothers met, they couldn't be questioned by the Xun group, so Xun Fan said in a deep voice: "Kneel!" ”

Xun Group paused, but still knelt down.

Xun Fan asked him with a calm face, "Why did you send Your Majesty's sharp weapon privately?" ”

Xun Group: "Cao Gong has been regent for twenty-four years and has not dared to be the emperor, Zhao Hanzhang's respect for His Majesty is even higher than that of Emperor Xian, she is still young, she can slowly figure it out, but I don't understand why my brother is so anxious to let His Majesty give way to her?" ”

Xun Fan: "I've already said the reason, I'll give you another reason now, Your Majesty, he doesn't have the heart to fight, he doesn't!" ”

Xun Fan said in a low voice: "Emperor Xian still has the intention of seizing power, so there are Han Chen who go to serve him one after another, but Your Majesty himself has no fighting spirit, and now how many old ministers are willing to serve him to seize power?" ”

"Don't you see all the things in the room today? Such as Xiahou Ren, Tao Wu and others, their hearts have long been inclined to Zhao Hanzhang, this time she kept her promise, and they completely fell to her, and even Wei An, Yuan Xin and others, who often follow you, did not say anything, but they were respectful in their hearts, in the long run, is it you Xu Xu Tuzhi, or is she Zhao Hanzhang Xu Tuzhi? ”

Xun Group opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "There are always more loyal and righteous people in this world." ”

Xun Fan said expressionlessly: "It is precisely because there are more loyal and righteous people that Your Majesty's throne is more unstable." If you don't get it right, you will have endless troubles. In eighty years, the Great Jin Dynasty failed to convince the subjects of the world, but was morally degraded, the princess was drunk and dreamed of death, and escaped from the world, do you think that in the next thirty years, you can accomplish things that many people such as Zhao Gong and Fu Gong can't do? ”

Xun Group was speechless.

Xun Fan said: "Let's stop here." ”

Xun Group sat on the ground dejectedly and asked in a low voice: "What should Qiu Zhi do, he was arrested by Zhao Hanzhang, I, I'm afraid it won't be long." ”

Xun Fan shook his head after thinking for a moment, "She is a person who takes care of the overall situation, she will not arrest you at this time, most of this matter is turned into a small matter, it is Qiu Zhi, and the problem is not big." ”

Xun Fan snorted coldly when he said this, "It's cheaper for him, he picked up this matter, right?" I hated him so much. ”

Xun Group was silent.

As soon as Ji Yuan went out, he was picked up by the Zhao family's soldiers who were waiting outside, "The general is waiting for you in the mansion." ”

Ji Yuan was also anxious to discuss things with Zhao Hanzhang, so he hurried over.

When he arrived at the General's Mansion, the sunset was about to set, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Yuan Li kneeling on the ground, his footsteps paused slightly, and then he walked past him without knowing and entered the study.

Yuan Li is different from others, if it were other colleagues, he would definitely intercede.

But Yuan Li...... The things he mastered were too important and too confidential, and the dark lines that Ji Yuan had in his hands had been handed over to Yuan Li, and Yuan Li rearranged them.

This should be what Zhao Hanzhang meant.

Ji Yuan didn't want to test Zhao Hanzhang's bottom line, Yuan Li's position doomed him to be a lonely minister, everyone had less contact, and it was good for each other.

Despite this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but say after entering the door and saluting: "Girl, Yuan Li is still kneeling outside." ”

Zhao Hanzhang saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "Let him come in." ”

Listen to the order of the lotus to go out.

After a while, Yuan Li limped in, and stood aside silently after saluting.

Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang only called a few of them, he knew that she didn't want too many people to know, so Ji Yuan also subconsciously lowered his voice and repeated the conversation between him and Xun Fan.

Ji Yuan looked at Zhao Hanzhang and said, "If there is no accident, His Majesty will give way to the girl the day after tomorrow, and the girl should refuse again." ”

After a pause, he said: "Although the girl has already refused once, this time it is in private, so it doesn't count, you still need to say three words." ”

This is to show the world the legitimacy of her accession to the throne, although hypocritical, but useful!

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and agreed, and the next thing is to do some precautionary work to prevent accidents.

Many accidents in the world are caused by laxity, and she doesn't want to have an accident at the door, so the preparations that should be made are still to be made.

Zhao Hanzhang handed over the matter to Zhao Shen and Zeng Yue, one outside and one inside, Zhao Shen was in charge of the Zhao family army outside the city to prevent accidents; Zeng Yue was in charge of the forbidden guards in the city to ensure the safety of everyone.

And Yuan Li provided them with information, Ji Yuan and Ming Pre, naturally charged ahead, and discussed relevant matters with the people of the Little Emperor's family.

After discussing this, Ji Yuan asked, "How will the general deal with Qiu Zhi and Xun Group?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang snorted coldly and said: "For the sake of Xun Fan's face, I will spare the Xun group this time, as for Qiu Zhi, he will be sent to Dali Temple early tomorrow morning and punished for insulting Shangguan." ”

At this time, severely punishing Xun Group and Qiu Zhi will only make the old ministers and their families panic and make the established things change.

Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang did not embarrass Qiu Zhi, and deliberately handed him over to Zeng Yue, but not to Yuan Li.

Zeng Yue really didn't embarrass Qiu Zhi, but just locked him up in a small black room for one night, and when he brought it up the next day, he found that he was scared enough, so he could only let people carry him to Dali Temple.

The officials of Dali Temple on duty only heard some wild rumors today, and they accepted Qiu Zhi before they had time to distinguish the authenticity, and they were a little stunned for a while.

So they crowded into Qiu Zhi's cell and asked him, "What happened in the Taifu Mansion yesterday?" ”

In just one night, Qiu Zhi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he looked more than ten years old, and his hands and feet were still soft at this time.

When the officials of Dali Temple saw that his eyes were dull, they checked him inside and out, and frowned: "There are no injuries, no external injuries or internal injuries." ”

"It looks like I'm scared."

"Yuan Li scared?"

"Possibly."

"So did you hear that rumor, Your Majesty, he ......" The rest of the words were not spoken, but the eyes were flexible, and everything was silent.

After all, there were not many officials in the Xun Mansion yesterday, although they leaked the news after they came out, but most of them were skeptical.

Even if their colleagues who get along day and night pat their chests to say that the news is true, they are still skeptical.

But the keen officials still noticed something different, last night the city gate closed early, the number of Praetorian guards patrolling during the curfew seemed to increase, and when they lay down to sleep, they could faintly hear the sound of the forbidden troops marching together, and it was particularly dense.

Also, it is clear that today is still a holiday, but the restaurants and restaurants frequented by officials and wealthy families are actually sparsely populated, and few people go to eat and drink.

So...... Is that rumor true?

The news spread more and more, and more and more people affirmed, "I heard that Xun Yushi took a knife to force His Majesty to agree to the Zen position." ”

"On the contrary, it's Your Majesty who is holding a knife to force Xun Yushi, right?"

How bad the little emperor is, these officials know best.

They also understand the little emperor, he is only twelve years old, if he is ten years old, he may have the heart to fight for power, twelve years old, without ambition, he is tired of studying and work?

Even they often don't want to go to work, they just want to rest.

So they understand.

"No matter who forced whom, anyway, yesterday His Majesty did say in public that he wanted to Zen to the general, but the general refused."

"I have to refuse, but I don't know when I'll mention it next time."

Everyone's eyes met, expecting and worrying.

In fact, the status quo is not bad, the general is regent, and everyone listens to her.

But if she ascends the throne, wouldn't it be easier for these courtiers to be rewarded?

After all, there are occasional factional disputes in doing things now, which is very annoying.

If...... What old ministers, neutrals, and the Zhao family, all of them are her ministers.

A lot of people look forward to it, but they can't do anything.

The little emperor had been tormented in the palace for a day, and when he saw that the palace had strengthened its garrison, the people around him were no different from usual, and Dong Neishou also comforted him, "Your Majesty, why should you be anxious, you have said such things, the general will definitely not annoy you with the short knife, otherwise he will not give you the short knife for his own use." ”

Dong Neishou said with a smile: "I heard that this knife is also a birthday gift from Fu Shangshu to the general." ”

The little emperor relaxed a little under his comfort, but he was still anxious, "I don't know what happened to the third uncle, whether the second uncle will be implicated." ”

Dong's inner servants didn't dare to guarantee it, and they didn't even dare to inquire about the news, so the master and servant could only wait silently for the officials to take their leave to go to the early court.

The little emperor himself didn't expect that Xun Fan would look for him in the palace in the early dynasty. 、

"Write a Zen edict?" The little emperor took two quick steps and asked, "Shall I write it?" ”

"No, the minister will write it," Xun Fan said: "This edict will be written by the minister, and when the general refuses, next time His Majesty will write it, and next time, you will personally take the national seal to her, and she will agree." ”

The little emperor hadn't read enough books, and he wasn't old enough to understand the hypocrisy of the adults, "Have you asked the general, is she really willing to take the throne?" She rejected me that day with such disdain......"

Xun Fan sighed: "She will agree, and the minister asked Ji Shizhong to persuade her." ”

The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." "This hot potato and burden can finally be handed over.

See you tomorrow
