A few days later, in the city of Xuchang, the Duke of Yiguo.

"My lord."

"Oh, Shaoqing. Is Jieqiong back? ”

"The person who went to the palace to invite the princess has not come back yet, but someone has come to visit the lord in the house...... I don't know if you can see it. ”

"Who?"

"Situ An Junying."

"An Junying is already Situ??"

"......" Jin Shaoqing didn't know how to answer Xu Huabiao's somewhat stream-of-consciousness question for a while.

"You go back to An Junying, I came to Xuchang this time to see the Son of Heaven." Xu Huabiao sorted out the atmosphere and said to Jin Shaoqing.

"This ...... The people sent by Ahn Junying were with a prayer post. ...... here" Jin Shaoqing took it out of his sleeve a little embarrassed, "Lord, do you want to take a look at ......"

"......" Xu Huabiao took it.

Open it.

I watched it for a while.

also gave Jin Shaoqing.

"You go and refuse."

"Yes."

Jin Shaoqing took the order and left.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

Lin Yun'er, who was quiet in the room, answered.

"It's nothing, Ahn Joon-young...... Inflated. Xu Huabiao sighed softly, "You still want to threaten me." ”

"Huh?? What's up? ”

"Maybe he thinks that Li Xiuman is dead, and I need to find another person to assist, he thinks he is okay and wants me to join his camp."

"Join his side??" Lin Yun'er's face was ridiculous.

"So, I refused." Xu Huabiao smiled, "Well, it's really Li Xiuman who hasn't been in Xuchang for the past few years, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king!" Ahn Jun Young? Hey...... Yes! So quickly, he even forgot about the fact that his head almost hit the ground a few years ago because of the matter of the deposed queen's father? ”

"Do he have a lot of men under him now?"

"What about a lot of them? That's Zheng Yunhao's headache, as long as I sit in Luoyang City and don't move, neither of them will come to me for trouble until they fight to the death. Xu Huabiao smiled: "He's not even Zheng Yunhao's opponent, fight with me?" Is he worthy? ”

"Childe, are you sure they won't join forces to trouble you?"

"Whether it is gathered around Zheng Yunhao or around An Junying in Xuchang, they are all scholars." Xu Huabiao smiled at Lin Yun'er, "They want to govern the government, and they need my support." Either snatch it from me, or get my support...... If they themselves are already divided, no matter who they are, I can easily pinch them to death. ”

"I don't understand."

"It's okay, you don't need to understand. But there's one thing I'm a little worried about...... Well, otherwise, you work hard, go to the palace, and drag Jieqiong back. ”

“…… Drag it back? ”

"Well, there are some things I have to deal with as soon as possible and leave Xuchang." Xu Huabiao put away his smile and became serious, "If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid there will be something wrong." ”

"Okay." Lin Yun'er nodded and stood up.

However, Lin Yun'er hadn't had time to get on the horse and leave the mansion, and a team of cars had already returned to the gate of the Yiguo Mansion.

"Husband, what are you doing! Why did you call me back from the palace in a hurry? And what are you doing in Xuchang! Don't you know that it's inconvenient for you to come to Xuchang recently? ”

As soon as Zhou Jieqiong took Song Zhixiao into the study, she was contemptuous of Xu Huabiao.

Apparently she was very unhappy with being pulled back.

"Of course I'll go back to Luoyang if it's okay, but I'll come here because of something." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "You sit first." Jihyo, you can go out and help Yun'er settle the children in the Shenji Camp. ”

"Oh, yes, Childe." Song Zhixiao was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded immediately.

Xu Huabiao let himself out...... Looks like I'm going to say something important!

Song Jihyo turned around and left, and only the husband and wife were left in the study.

"Husband, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Xu Huabiao drove Song Zhixiao out, he knew that the matter should be quite serious, so he didn't complain.

"Oh, Li Xiuman asked me to find a way to make the Son of Heaven make Park Xiurong the queen."

“……”

"What, why do you have such an expression?" Xu Huabiao looked at Zhou Jieqiong stunned.

"Recently, I have been arguing with the imperial brother because of this matter. That Ahn Joon-young opposed the royal brother Jin Park so-young as the queen, and the royal brother has also been a little shaken recently......"

"By the way, An Junying seems to be very favored in front of the Son of Heaven recently? He was so cruel to the queen's family before......"

"I don't know. This was already the case when I came to Xuchang. Listening to Xiurong, it seems that it was because An Junying persuaded the imperial brother that if it weren't for him, the lives of the other two heirs of the imperial brother would not be saved...... And An Junying didn't know where to find a few alchemy recipes to help the emperor's brother alchemy, so he was very favored. ”

"Ridiculous!!" Xu Huabiao shook his head.

This is really a ...... The old problem is made again??

"Let's talk about Ahn Junying's matter, now it's Park so-young's problem after the face is sealed." Zhou Jieqiong obviously didn't want to talk about her unreliable royal brother.

"After it is not sealed, is it because Li Xiuman is seriously ill?"

"Yes. And Zheng Yunhao doesn't seem to be very concerned about this matter, and the royal brother doesn't feel the need to do it. I've said him several times, this is not good for Mingzhu, his mother is not a queen, and he is not a prince with a bad name, but ...... I don't know how he was fooled by An Junying. ”

"When is the next court?" Xu Huabiao's face stiffened.

"The fifth day of the first month. It should be the day after tomorrow. Why, husband, you want to ......"

"Some people think that when Li Xiuman is dead, they can do whatever they want...... Don't say that Li Xiuman is not dead now, even if he dies, there are some things that are not up to them who are self-righteous. Xu Huabiao snorted coldly.

"Husband, if you play in court like this, it is very likely that the imperial brother will not be able to come to the stage." Zhou Jieqiong still didn't agree with Xu Huabiao's idea, "It's better to choose a more stable and gentle method." Otherwise, you will follow me into the palace tomorrow to meet the imperial brother? ”

"What is Park so-young's recent state?" Xu Huabiao interrupted Zhou Jieqiong's suggestion.

"Xiurong she...... I've been in a bad mood lately. Some time ago, she wanted to go to Chenliu to see Li Xiuman, but was stopped by the internal officials, saying that the prince was too young and it was not appropriate for her to leave Beijing. I also came to Xuchang from Luoyang because I knew about this and was worried that she would do something inappropriate. ”

“…… The internal officer stopped? Where did the insider come from? ”

"A ...... promoted by an imperial brother"

"An Junying's people?"

"Yes. Husband, you already know ...... over there."

"He's just sent me a letter asking me to visit him." Xu Huabiao smiled, "I'm going to visit him?" What a thing he is! ”

"Husband, in the past two years, you and Li Xiuman have been fighting abroad, and An Junying has established a large network of contacts in Xuchang, and his strength cannot be underestimated......"

"Someone!!" Xu Huabiao shouted outside the door.

"My lord."

Li Chengli, who was standing guard outside, and Li Duobin walked in together.

"Go tell the housekeeper and let her arrange it, I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight, ask Li Sailun to come and drink, and let Li Sailun bring a few people who want to come."

“…… Be. The two guards obviously didn't understand what Xu Huabiao was saying, but they still responded.

I can't understand it, just memorize it by rote, just recite it to the housekeeper Jin Shaoqing.

"Husband, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly remember to have a banquet......

"I am a colt, a relative of the Son of Heaven." Xu Huabiao snorted, "The person who supports the Son of Heaven, supports him An Junying?" Why is he? ”

"Childe, are you trying to make things bigger?" Zhou Jieqiong seemed to understand.

"Yes! The day after tomorrow, I will propose that today and tomorrow, I must first breathe with my own people, so that they can be prepared, and then it will be convenient to support me! ”

"Your own people? Husband, you ......"

"I want to see how many of my own people I have in Xuchang." Xu Huabiao smiled.

Be quiet.

"Okay." Zhou Jieqiong nodded.
