When Gao Huan was worried about the selection of the Son of Heaven, Hu Sichun also looked for an opportunity to visit his good comrade-in-arms He Batsheng.

"The world's affairs lie in you and me, when we abandoned Erzhu, Erzhu died, and now we are waiting for the master, it will inevitably cause He Liuhun to be jealous, now he has just entered Luoyang, his foothold is not stable, and it is not difficult for us to plot against him."

In the dimly lit secret room, Hu Sichun instigated.

He Batsheng was indecisive, and to say that he had no intention of making a move must be false.

The heroes of the six towns who defected to Er Zhurong back then were the most famous with him, whether it was Gao Huan, who now controls the land of Shandong, or his brother He Bayue, who seized Guanxi, they can only accompany his bravery.

The Erzhu clan was defeated, and the north was dominated by the people of the Six Towns, but he lived under the people, how could he not have a little idea in his heart.

However, He Batsheng suffered a loss, Er Zhurong died, he joined Yuan Ziyou, was defeated by the slippery platform, and surrendered to Er Zhu Zhongyuan, resulting in the destruction of his reputation.

In the past two years, he has a lot of regrets, if he chose to flee Luoyang, whether it was to defect to Erzhu Zhao, or to serve Erzhu Zhongyuan, or even to follow Erzhu Shilong's brothers, maybe he would have already had a place of his own foundation, and then share Erzhu with everyone, even if he can't sit in the position of Gao Huan, it is not difficult to tear the soil and become the king.

"He Liuhun punishes Erzhu, he has a great merit in the country, if we plot to kill him, this is not a good thing, these days, I sleep with King Gao, he and I remember the friendship of fighting against Wei Kegu together in Huaishuo, and often mention the kindness of you and me to help him, we don't need to worry about him harming."

He Batsheng pondered.

The reason why he turned against Erzhu again was because the Erzhu clan was fighting against the enemy, and the defeat had been revealed.

didn't get the answer he wanted, Hu Sichun was unhappy, and when he returned home, he saw an unexpected figure waiting outside his house.

At the first glance of the visitor, Hu Sichun immediately thought of the person behind the other party, and then thought of the current dispute between the Son of Heaven, and his expression instantly turned clear.

Hu Sichun led the man into the side room and asked knowingly:

"I heard that Wang Yin of Pingyang is a rural farmer, and he does not cultivate with the king, how can he be interested in returning to Luoyang to find me."

The person who came was Wang Sizheng, a guest in the middle door of Pingyang Wang Yuanxiu's mansion.

Wang Sizheng was born in Taiyuan Wang, is the Later Han Dynasty Situ Wang Yun, at the beginning of the Beihai Wang Yuanhao's staff, deeply trusted, after the change of Heyin, Yuan Hao defected to Xiao Liang, Wang Sizheng was recruited by Yuan Xiu as a guest.

"The Erzhu clan was in turmoil, the king was unwilling to merge with it, and he was in seclusion, and the Duke of Chengyang (Hu Sichun title) eradicated the traitors and purged the opposition, so the ideology and politics were ordered by the King of Pingyang to thank the Duke of Chengyang on behalf of the Great Wei clan."

After that, Wang Sizheng leaned over and bowed:

"This worship is the one hundred and forty-sixth year of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"Prince, please get up quickly."

Hu Sichun didn't dare to accept this worship, he said angrily:

"In the past, Er Zhu Rong was powerful, and Chun was also committed to being a thief, but he didn't want Er Zhu Zhao to dare to kill the king, but all the people of Dawei were all sad, not to mention that I was favored by the country in my life, and it was my duty to punish thieves for the country."

Wang Sizheng and Hu Sichun sat opposite each other, and then said their intentions:

"The Erzhu clan is about to die, and there is the Gao clan in charge, the king of Anding (Yuen Long) from the side branch, self-abdication, the Son of Heaven by the Erzhu clan, not for the Gao clan to like, imprisoned in the temple, deposed is not more than ten days, the top priority is to find a clear lord for the country, revitalize the dynasty, and revive the Wei family. After the Duke of Chengyang is the Great Wei Zhongliang, I don't know if there is a candidate in my heart? ”

Hu Sichun still pretended to be confused and said:

"I have been in the army for a long time, and I don't know the virtues of the clan, so I asked the prince to teach me."

Wang Sizheng stepped forward and said highly:

"The situation is difficult, non-promising people can not shoulder heavy responsibilities, the king of Pingyang is famous for his erudition and talent, and he does not avoid his relatives, let alone avoid the lord, I think he can save the Great Wei, only the king of Pingyang."

Hu Sichun was silent, he was waiting for Wang Sizheng to open the bid code on behalf of Yuan Xiu.

Sure enough, Wang Sizheng promised:

"If you have the will, the king is willing to teach the three divisions with the service and the opening ceremony."

The servants have the right to enter the palace and face the saints, and the opening ceremony and the three divisions are important in the opening of the palace, and they have the right to set up a government office and select their subordinates by official positions.

This is indeed the greatest sincerity that Yuan Xiu can show, and only Gao Huan can decide the ownership of military power.

Hu Sichun did not hesitate, and immediately said:

"The king of Pingyang is known as Yawang, please tell the king, I am willing to be a lobbyist."

Wang Sizheng bowed again:

"The grace of the Duke of Chengyang to help each other, the King of Pingyang will not forget it."

For a time, the guests and hosts were happy.

Regarding the conspiracy of Hu Sichun and others, Gao Huan was not aware of it.

During this time, he racked his brains in order to choose a qualified puppet.

even once considered defecting to Xiao Liang, Wang Yuanyue of Runan, but heard that Yuanyue was violent and impermanent, so he gave up.

When he was bored, he got a confidant, and Chengyang County Gonghu Sichun asked to see him.

No one likes a repeated villain, every time he sees Hu Sichun, Gao Huan always feels like he has seen another self.

No, although he He Liuhun is damaged, he still has principles, Hu Sichun has no bottom line, if it weren't for his great merit, Gao Huan couldn't wait to take this person to sacrifice the flag.

As an excellent politician and conspirator, Gao Huan still suppressed his likes and dislikes and went out to greet him enthusiastically.

After seeing the ceremony, Hu Sichun said bluntly:

"The king is worried about the choice of the Son of Heaven, Tsubaki is a subordinate, and he should share his worries for the king, and now I hear that one person is a close relative of the clan, but he is timid and cowardly, and this person is becoming the Son of Heaven."

Gao Huan was overjoyed, there are still such people? I immediately asked who it was.

"King Qiyu, what Chun said, is Pingyang Wang Yuanxiu, when Erzhu was in trouble, Pingyang King was afraid, and actually fled from Luoyang in a hurry, I heard that the King of Pingyang pretended to be a farmer outside Luoyang City, ploughing the fields all day long, in order to survive in the world, if the king established the king of Pingyang, his people are cowardly, and they will not dare to disobey the king."

Gao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly sent Hu Sichun to invite Yuan Xiu to meet in Luoyang, and he wanted to inspect it himself.

The next day, Hu Sichun really brought a young man dressed as a farmer.

Gao Huan ordered someone who was familiar with the new attachment of the clan to identify and confirm that the other party was Wang Yuanxiu of Pingyang.

Maybe it was Gao Huan's mansion full of armor, Yuan Xiu was very afraid, and pleaded:

"In troubled times, panic and anxiety, I only hope that King Gao will save the life of Xiao Wang, and I don't dare to think about it anymore."

This made Gao Huan nod secretly: he was really a cowardly person.

Talking to him, Yuan Xiu was submissive, and his helpless appearance made Gao Huan even more satisfied.

Sending away Yuan Xiu and Hu Sichun, Gao Huan gathered his henchmen, intending to discuss with everyone whether to support Yuan Xiu as the Son of Heaven.

Before he could open his mouth, a messenger came from Yecheng on horseback.

It turned out that some time ago, Gao Huan sent a messenger to Yecheng to ask for Xiao Gaowang's opinion on abolishing the Son of Heaven, and now he finally got a reply.

Gao Huan was not in a hurry to discuss with everyone, and planned to see what his good son had to say first.
