When the three of them stepped into the study together, they saw a figure standing at the desk in the study.

When the man saw the crowd coming in, he bent down slightly, and said respectfully:

"Meet the Lord."

Zhao Gaowei nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised that there was one more person in his study.

And the three people behind him, except for Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao, who were a little surprised, Fu Ru'an was also unusually calm.

After entering the study and closing the door, Zhao Gaowei turned around and introduced Xie Yunshu and the others:

"This is Lord Xia Bohan, the head of the household department of this dynasty."

Speaking of which, as an official of the imperial court who has lived in the capital for a long time, Xia Bohan and Xie Yunshu, who was the son of the prime minister, have met each other.

He had a slight impression of this person, and he recognized it when he saw his face clearly.

The only one in the field who is unfamiliar with Xia Bohan is Ye Hao.

Even if the original owner is the daughter of the Marquis of Qingyuan, he has no dealings with such a powerful ***, after all, the Marquis of Qingyuan only occupies the position of a shady marquis, and in fact he does not even have a serious official position.

I don't know how many such people are in the capital, and they can't get into Xia Bohan's eyes at all.

However, Ye Hao knew that the other party was Fu Ru'an's uncle. From this point of view, there is a sense of closeness.

"I've seen Lord Xia."

The two of them bowed briefly, and then sat down.

"Prime Minister Xie has served the country and the people all his life, and after all, he ended up so tragically, it's really unancient!"

Seeing Xie Yunshu, Xia Bohan couldn't help but sigh for him and expressed deep sympathy.

Even if there may be some disagreement in political opinions, he admires Prime Minister Xie's personality and character very much.

It's just that this world is too chaotic, and the villain is troublesome, and he can only protect himself.

Xie Yunshu was silent for a moment, and then bowed his hand to Xia Bohan.

"My father's voice is above board, and it will only be like this when he is persecuted by villains, and Lord Xia's mind is understood."

All kinds of things in the past, he has already pressed in his heart, and it is not so easy to stir his emotions again.

Xia Bohan nodded, an approving smile on his face.

When Xie Yunshu was in the middle of the third yuan, he was one of the examiners, and he felt that he really had no dog son, and he was amazed by the talent shown by the other party.

It's just that in the past, Xie Yunshuzhi was not in the court, and he did not enter the court with his father, but became a son of Xianyun Yehe, which made Xia Bohan sigh.

It's just that the creation makes people, but I didn't expect the Xie family to be in trouble by this.

Although Xia Bohan was quite sorry, he was like Zhao Gaoyu, suffering from all kinds of shackles, and could not stand up for Xie Chengxiang to seek justice.

Behind him is the entire Xia family and Jiangnan, and he can't put himself in danger for the sake of an outsider.

After the greetings, he turned his gaze to Zhao Gaowei and began to carry out the true purpose of his visit.

"The prince hasn't been to the capital for a long time, and he may not know about some matters in the capital."

Hearing this, Zhao Gaowei straightened his expression and pursed his lips and bowed his head.

Since Zhao Yi was lost, he has never left Lingnan for half a step, and he knows very little about the affairs of Beijing.

It's not that Zhao Gaowei didn't leave people in Beijing, but that the capital is the home of the old emperor in the end, and the news that his people can find out is some extremely one-sided trivial things.

Zhao Gaowei is not like the other three royal brothers, even if he is defeated and has no choice but to be crowned the prince, he still has his own family background. From the very beginning, he was innocent and had no power.

If it weren't for the forbearance over the years, he tamed the general territory of Lingnan and cultivated some of his own people, maybe he would be the first to be kicked out today, the prince who was looked down upon by everyone.

"The matter of the capital, but this king knows very little, and I ask Lord Xia to speak up."

Zhao Gaowei knew that Xia Bohan was willing to go to Lingnan in person, so naturally he didn't come to attend a small birthday banquet.

Although he didn't understand

Why didn't the other party choose to take the initiative to show favor to King Ruixian, but came to contact him, the last prince who was not very competitive, but he would not refuse.

Xia Bohan just opened his mouth, and when he suddenly glanced at Ye Hao, who was sitting next to Xie Yunshu, he swallowed back the words on his lips.

Why is the woman present when we are talking about business?

What's more, even if his own nephew is full of praise for this Mrs. Xie, he has lived in the capital for more than ten years, but he understands very well what kind of virtue the original concubine of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion was!

The bed-climbing time spread throughout the capital, but it made the people of the entire capital laugh for a while.

is also the thick-skinned Marquis of Qingyuan, for the sake of his own future, he can take over this family business with a smile.

However, after the Prime Minister's Mansion was raided on the second day of becoming a parent, he also quickly drew a line and saved his family.

If the father is like this, how much better can the daughter be?

Xia Bohan was a little prejudiced against Ye Hao in his heart, and he didn't think that the other party was also capable like his brother.

His gaze was too conspicuous to attract the attention of several others.

Ye Hao didn't know that the other party wanted to let her leave, and thought that Xia Bohan was seeing that there was something wrong with him, so he quickly checked up and down, but found no problem.

A few other people understood, but Xie Yunshu didn't say anything, and Zhao Gaowei wouldn't speak.

And Fu Ru'an secretly handed his uncle a shake of his head, signaling him not to care.

Seeing that none of them had the intention of breaking Ye Hao apart, Xia Bohan had no choice but to give up and pour out his unspoken words.

"Now Jingzhong is already the dominant Fan family, and even the most trusted Jingzhong garrison has changed the Fan family. Not to mention that His Majesty has now been completely coaxed by Fan Heguang, and everyone else is ostracized by whatever he says."

At the mention of this, Xia Bohan's face was extremely ugly.

He is not an ambitious person, and he has to fight for the position of prime minister.

But he didn't want to be angry with this, he looked at Fan Heguang's triumphant face every day, and all the excerpts he played were ignored.

In fact, as long as there is the hole card in the Jiangnan region, Xia Bohan will be invincible.

Even Fan Heguang can't do anything with him!

It's just that Xia Bohan, who has been smooth all the way in his official career, met a despicable villain like Fan Heguang and was ashamed to be with him, so he simply left.

Hearing such news, Zhao Gaowei's face changed and he didn't say anything.

The garrison in the capital has always been the emperor's closest and most trusted person to take office, after all, holding 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect the capital, it is an extremely important official position.

Fan Heguang is about to take up the position of the new prime minister, and the news has already reached Zhao Gaowei's ears.

For this, he didn't think it was strange, Prime Minister Xie was brought down by the other party behind his back, and in recent years, the old emperor's partiality towards him has become more and more obvious, so it is reasonable to win this position.

It's just that Zhao Gaowei didn't expect that Fan Heguang's means were so high, and he could actually get the position of Beijing garrison from the old emperor's mouth.

As a big brother, he is really old and confused, and he has no defense at all.

Get rid of a Prime Minister Xie who is loyal to him, and support a female cadre who can only rely on flattery and coaxing, how can the world not be chaotic?

The sigh in Zhao Gaowei's heart was not over, and Xia Bohan over there dropped another bombshell.

"Fan Heguang's old man is a very ambitious person, and even if he sits on the position of prime minister and becomes the first minister, he will not stop there. This capital will be a mess sooner or later."

With a sneer, Xia Bohan's eyes were full of sarcasm, he paused slightly, and continued:

"The situation in Beijing and China is turbulent, and all parties are not at peace. Since the Zhenbei Hou family was secretly ordered by His Majesty to enter Beijing and behead the whole family, the 100,000 garrisons of Zhenbei Pass are no longer under the control of Jingzhong, and I heard that they are all controlled by the king of Zhenbei."

"Zhenbei Hou?! The whole family is beheaded?!"

Zhao Gaowei's mind exploded suddenly, and he was shocked

I had to lose my complexion.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and his heart was churning with anger, both anger and puzzlement.

"Is the imperial brother confused?!"

Xia Bohan had expected his reaction and sighed.

"This matter was secretly operated by His Majesty, and even I only found out after the matter was over."

Unlike the previous deliberate design of Prime Minister Xie Cheng, this action against the Marquis of Zhenbei was completely secretly done by the old emperor, which caught everyone off guard.

However, this news is still tightly sealed, except for people in high positions like Xia Bohan in Beijing, very few people can find out the news.

It's just that it's hard to say whether this matter is advocated by the old emperor himself, or whether someone designed it behind it.

At least Xia Bohan believes that this matter should not have much to do with the Fan family.

Fan just wants to climb up, and he has nothing to do with Zhenbei Hou, who is far away in Zhenbei Pass, and he will not be idle at all to find trouble for himself.

The 100,000 border troops in Zhenbei Pass are extremely loyal to the Marquis of Zhenbei, and let them know that their Hou Ye was designed to be beheaded all over the house, and the Fan family can still sit in the current position?

Fan Heguang would not do such a thankless task.

"Moreover, my people have found out the news that the king of Zhenbei has now taken over the 100,000 Zhenbei army, and he is planning to counterattack when. It's all ready-made, and that's to avenge the Marquis of Zhenbei!"

Speaking of this, Xia Bohan's eyes were complicated, and the coldness on his face became more and more obvious.

Everyone is a smart person, and it can be seen from this point that the murder of Hou Manmen in Zhenbei, whether the old emperor wanted to do it or not, at least it is inseparable from King Zhenbei.

In the past, the Marquis of Zhenbei was a checkpoint to watch the King of Zhenbei, as long as the Marquis of Zhenbei was in one day, the King of Zhenbei had no chance to include the Zhenbei Army in his hands.

Now that he has lost his shackles, he is like a fish in water, and it is a matter of time when he will lead his troops to the south to rebel.

Zhao Gaowei, who was sitting in the chair, sneered, and the anger in his eyes was still not extinguished.

"It seems that the imperial brother is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time, and he is so confused!"

The chaos in the north has nothing to do with his Lingnan.

The reason why Zhao Gaowei was so angry was not because he was worried that there would be a war and that the king of Zhenbei was going to rebel.

But I feel sorry for the Hou family in Zhenbei!

The Ye family of Zhenbei Hou, that is the founding hero of the Yu Dynasty, the hero who accompanied the ancestors of their Zhao family to conquer the country!

At the beginning, it was because he was worried that he would be overpowered, so he took the initiative to express to the founding emperor that he was willing to lead the whole family to garrison the northern Xinjiang, and he would not enter Beijing without the emperor's order for generations.

is such a loyal minister for generations, but he ended up like this, how can Zhao Gaowei not feel sad about it?!

As a descendant of the Zhao family, he was full of guilt.

This incident happened after he returned to Lingnan, and if he was in the capital at that time, he would have to stop it desperately.

If such news spreads, wouldn't everyone in the world accuse them of having no conscience and endangering a family that guards the country instead of them?!

Taking Zhao Gaowei's reaction into his eyes, Xia Bohan was a little moved in his heart and affirmed his nephew's choice.

King Cheng An is indeed weak, but he may not be a good option.
