“…………”

In the flower pavilion, there was a moment of silence.

Li Yao's slightly smug smile, Lin Shufan's eyes were quite surprised.

Lin Shufan understood what Li Yao meant, could it be that the King of Chu really chose to take refuge in Li Yao?

Lin Shufan thought about it a lot, but in the end he shook his head, no matter what, this time Li Yao was beyond his expectations.

That's enough!

"Lin Xiang, what do you think I should do?" Li Yao saw Lin Shufan's silence, and his smile became thicker and thicker.

Lin Shufan put down the dishes and chopsticks and met Li Yao's gaze, with a solemn look on his face.

He can't be serious, after all, this is the king of Chu, one of the four kings who are qualified to compete for the world.

If his words were accidentally spread out today, making the King of Chu dissatisfied, causing the King of Chu to have a different position on him, it would be troublesome.

But if his words made the other three kings dissatisfied, it would be even more troublesome.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, the King of Chu has the world in his heart, and he governs Lingzhou in a good way, presumably His Majesty has already made a decision, so the minister will not say much, and he should support His Majesty's decision."

"Oh? It seems that Lin Xiang, like me, thinks that the king of Chu is a very suitable candidate for the governor of Huanzhou. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, then do what Lin Xiang thinks, and appoint the King of Chu as the governor of Huanzhou!"

Lin Shufan's eyelids moved, and he continued:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Yao saw that Lin Shufan was expressionless, and said with a smile:

"I heard from the sixth brother that Lin Xiang has a daughter named Lin Ling'er, who is talented, virtuous and elegant, and can be my queen?"

When Lin Shufan heard this, he sighed in his heart, he finally came, His Majesty has invested so much money, and he has been going around and around, isn't this the purpose in front of him?

But who came up with this plan?

Lin Shufan's eyes swept over the respectful Liu Jin on the side, his deep eyes flickered, as the prime minister of the imperial court, he naturally knew Liu Jin's actions during this time, and he was a capable person, even the current commander of the secret guard was afraid of it.

Liu Jin seemed to sense Lin Shufan's eyes, raised his head slightly, and showed a humble smile.

Well?

Not him?

Lin Shufan understood what Liu Jin meant, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

That's Lu Xun!

What a Lu Xun.

It's a pity that King Heng is gone.

Lin Shufan is indeed very satisfied with King Heng, with a graceful demeanor and a degree of advance and retreat.

It's a pity that his ambition is too big, if he is willing to be a free prince, he is indeed a good match for Ling'er.

And now that Li Yao has received his initial approval, he saw Lin Shufan bow his hand and say respectfully:

"Lin Ling'er can become His Majesty's queen, it is her blessing!"

Li Yao's eyes opened slightly, and when he heard this sentence, he could barely hide the excitement in his heart.

I finally recruited Lin Xiang.

"Good, good, good!" Li Yao excitedly grabbed Lin Shufan's hand, looked at Lin Shufan seriously, and promised:

"Lin Xiang, rest assured, as long as I am here, Lin Ling'er will not be wronged, and you have always been my prime minister!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Shufan saw Li Yao's sincere eyes, and his eyes showed a sigh.

"Your Majesty, have you really thought it through, if you keep maintaining the status quo, you will be able to live in peace after you give in in the future, once you want to control the real power of the court, it will definitely be dangerous in the future!"

When Li Yao heard Lin Shufan's words, he showed a firm look in his eyes, with an indestructible belief, and looked up into the distance, his gaze was fierce:

"My father once told me that as an emperor, the most important thing is to have courage!"

"Now I have become the new emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, occupying the position of the unification, has surpassed the King of Xuan, the King of Ming, and the King of Yu too much, and has the support of the King of Chu, they are surrounded by crises, I sit in Zhongzhou, the most elite army of the imperial court and the most talented people are in Zhongzhou, am I still afraid of them?

I feel that I have the ability to develop the Dayu Dynasty better, so why can't I always sit as the lord of the Dayu Dynasty! ”

Li Yao's tone was sonorous and powerful, deafening!

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty!" Lin Shufan saw Li Yao's appearance, and nodded slightly in approval, isn't he exactly the purpose of his visit.

As the head of the prime minister's hundred officials, if he wants to continue to serve, he can only rely on the current Li Yao.

The other four kings are not good, they are fighting outside, there are many generals under their command, loyal to them, one day to control the court, how can they use the court this group of old people, once who becomes the new emperor, their best result is to return to their hometown.

It's powerful and fascinating!

He, Lin Shufan, doesn't have the courage to give up all this now, and the glory of the Lin family is also tied to him, and he is willing to gamble.

"With the support of Lin Xiang, I will be able to control the imperial court just around the corner!"

Li Yao let go of Lin Shufan's hand with satisfaction, sat back on the seat, and asked Liu Jin to continue to help Lin Shufan serve a bowl of honeysuckle soup, sandwich two small dishes by himself, and continued:

"Lin Xiang, I already plan to let the eldest princess return to Beijing."

Lin Shufan took the bowl handed over by Liu Jin, looked stunned, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty sent the eldest princess back to deal with King Heng?"

Li Yao saw Lin Shufan say King Heng directly, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and his expression became softer and softer:

"That's right, my sixth brother is becoming more and more presumptuous, and he really should be cured!"

Lin Shufan nodded slightly, his position was different, and he naturally had to share his worries for His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, now that Weichen and Lord Lu support Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the court, Your Majesty still needs to win over a person outside the court."

"Someone outside the court?"

When Li Yao heard this, he showed a curious look, looked at Lin Shufan and asked:

"Who is this person that Lin Xiang is talking about?"

"Zhenbei Hou, Fang Wukui!"

Lin Shufan's deep eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

Liu Jin, who was respectful on the side, moved his eyes,

One of the top ten famous generals of the Dayu Dynasty, Fang Wukui!

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Liu Jin looked at Lin Shufan deeply, and secretly said in his heart that Prime Minister Lin Cheng was really scheming.

With Lin Shufan and Lu Xun, the civil officials of the imperial court don't need Li Yao to win them over, they will naturally turn to take refuge.

The next step is to take control of the military!

Military generals are different from civilian officials, if they can be convinced by a figure who can directly intervene in military power, it will be in Li Yao's mind to control the soldiers and horses in Zhongzhou.

Li Yao frowned, he had also thought about wooing Fang Wukui, but Fang Wukui refused.

"Lin Xiang, Fang Beihou is indifferent to fame and fortune, how can I win him over?"

"Fang Beihou is fiercely loyal to the Dayu Dynasty, if there is a real crisis in the dynasty, he will definitely be willing to come back."

When Lin Shufan spoke, he was not proud, but he was serious.

"A real crisis?"

Li Yao has grown a lot during this time, and naturally understands Lin Shufan's words, he suddenly got up and looked at Lin Shufan, his face changed slightly:

"Lin Xiang, what is the real crisis of the dynasty you are talking about!"

Lin Shufan looked at the southwest direction, and his face became solemn for the first time:

"Your Majesty, Chu Junxiong is about to make a move, King Xuan is in danger!"

"Chu Junxiong and the former emperor look at each other's personalities, if they don't move, they will affect their whole body, and he has already shown that he is ready for a perfect plan when he starts to shoot, but he can destroy King Xuan in one battle!"

"Destroy King Xuan?" Li Yao's eyes were raised, slightly disbelieving.

Although he was jealous of King Xuan, King Xuan still had the ability, and it was impossible for him to lose so easily.

Lin Xiang sighed in his heart, the weight of Chu Junxiong in his heart is very heavy, the person who understands Chu Junxiong in the world is His Majesty Emperor Yu, and now the four kings, including the new emperor, only have prestige and deeds in the image of Chu Junxiong, and they have not faced it intuitively.

It was nothing that Chu Junxiong had been staying in Zhaozhou before, even if he built Zhaozhou too perfectly, he couldn't take over the world with a state.

If Chu Junxiong solves King Xuan now and takes Danzhou and Qingzhou, there will be enough land for three states, and more importantly, he can face the imperial court!

Seeing Li Yao's current appearance, Lin Shufan changed his inner thoughts and changed to another way of saying it.

"Your Majesty, Zhenbei Hou Fang Wukui has always regarded Chu Junxiong as his biggest opponent, Chu Junxiong has made a move, he will definitely be moved, if His Majesty knows the reason, and asks him to come back with affection, Weichen is eighty percent sure that he will make a move?"

"Shot?"

"Do you want me to send troops to support King Xuan?"

Li Yao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I promised my father Emperor before, and I can only support them when King Xuan asks for my support." ”

Lin Shufan arched his hand and said:

"No, Your Majesty, we are ready, Ruochen guessed right, there may be great changes in Qingzhou in the past few days, if Qingzhou fails, Your Majesty, our Zhongzhou will be in danger."

We can take this opportunity to implore Fang Wukui to come back, with Fang Wukui's insight, it is very clear how much of a threat it will pose to our Zhongzhou if Chu Junxiong takes control of Qingzhou, he will not sit idly by, Fang Wukui is deeply convinced by the generals of the imperial court, and His Majesty's appointment is not very opposed, so it will be easy for His Majesty to borrow Fang Wukui's hand and control the imperial army. ”

"Yes!"

"I'll go to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei tonight!"

Li Yao said he would do it, and he didn't procrastinate at all.

………………

At night, in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, in the martial arts training ground, the oil fire is clustered, blazing, there is a huge roast whole sheep on an iron-cast board above the flame, the meat skin is sizzling, and the barbecue is full of fragrance.

"Daddy, are you ready to eat?"

The extremely muscky, tall Fang Wukui had a thick beard on his face, his eyes were like copper bells, and his dark pupils were full of softness, and lying on him was a little girl of five or six years old.

A pair of big eyes stared straight at the roasted whole lamb in front of him, the roast meat made a sizzling sound, and a drop of hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump meat, which was intoxicating. Sniffing carefully, sniffing slowly, the gluttonous insect was quickly aroused, and the slander on her face was clearly visible.

"Chenxi, you have to understand etiquette, what are you doing lying on your father!"

Behind her, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou saw Fang Chenxi's appearance, frowned lightly, and reprimanded in a low voice.

"Haha, it's okay, Xiao Chenxi can eat, let's have a piece first!"

Fang Wukui's arm, which was thicker than Xiao Chenxi's body, grabbed Chenxi with one hand, and with the other hand, he skillfully picked up a knife and cut off the most tender meat in the sheep and handed it to Xiao Chenxi.

Xiao Chenxi sat on Fang Wukui's forearm, holding a piece of barbecue meat bigger than her head in her hand, not caring about being hot, and taking a big bite was a big bite.

Wow!

Suddenly burned hands in a hurry!

The barbecue was tossed in her hands.

"Dawn!"

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's tone was a little more stern, and she looked at Fang Wukui with some complaints, how could such a young child eat so much!

"It's okay, eat more to grow taller and stronger."

"Come, do it too."

Fang Wukui said to the three sturdy young men on the side, who were not much different in age.

"Yes, father."

After the three brothers saluted Fang Wu Kui, their eyes lit up when they looked at the roasted whole sheep, drew out the dagger that had been prepared a long time ago, and quickly approached to cut out a large piece of meat, regardless of the flames below.

"Slow down!"

At the small table a little farther away, Fang Wukui's two concubines were angry and funny when they saw their children's impatient appearance.

"Mother, here you go!"

After the three teenagers cut off a piece of tender meat, they did not eat it themselves, but first put the first piece of meat on the dishes at their mother's table.

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou also saw her youngest son put the meat in front of her eyes first, showing a look of relief, but soon showed a sad color.

"I don't know how Shiyuan is now, I heard that he has broken through the Heavenly Martial Realm, shouldn't we also tell him a family matter?"

"Well, that makes sense." The two concubines beside him nodded,

"That girl from the Wang family is good."

"The one in Xuanwu Mansion is okay too!"

The three hostesses were discussing, but the man didn't listen to what they had to say.

After the three teenagers gave the barbecue to their mothers, they ran back to the roast whole sheep faster and devoured it.

And Fang Wukui took a leg of mutton thicker than his arm and bit it, and from time to time gave Xiao Chenxi a little tender meat, Xiao Chenxi did not refuse, and rubbed his dirty mouth on his arm, making him laugh.

"Fang Wukui, didn't you hear what the old lady said!"

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou is also a fierce woman, seeing that she and her sisters are discussing, Fang Wukui doesn't listen, she just cares about teasing Xiao Chenxi, her son's lifelong events are not important?

The movements of the three teenagers who were gobbling up slowed down, and the three of them looked at each other, and the movements in their hands slowed down.

Fang Wukui took a bite of a large piece of meat, and said unhurriedly:

"What are you anxious about, now that Fang Shiyuan is working under the command of the King of Chu, he is the person of the King of Chu, and his lifelong affairs should be solved by the King of Chu, why should Lao Tzu solve it, then isn't he the King of Chu for nothing?"

"Then you should write a letter to remind the King of Chu, the King of Chu does not have a princess of his own now, how can you let him take the initiative to help Shiyuan solve it!"

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou is angry, how old is Shiyuan now!

Twenty-five in the real, twenty-six in the virtual, twenty-seven in the sway, twenty-eight in the hair, almost twenty-nine, it's time for thirty!

If you don't marry a relative, you will be beaten for the rest of your life!

"What's the hurry, now is the time for Fang Shiyuan to make a contribution, break through the Tianwu Realm, and his lifespan will reach two hundred, and there is time!"

"That's right, a man should make a contribution, and I will learn from my eldest brother to join King Ming in the future!"

The tallest and strongest boy raised his head and spoke.

This is the young man next to him said:

"What are you doing with King Ming, I think it's going to King Xuan, you see how powerful King Xuan is!"

"King Ming is powerful, suppressing the forces of the two states!"

"Isn't King Xuan, and King Xuan is right about Zhenguo Mansion, one day, I will trample Zhenguo Mansion under my feet!"

"Hehe, good!" Fang Shikui looked at his son with a smile.

At this time, a guard suddenly reported:

"Master Hou, Your Majesty is here!"

Suddenly, the originally joyful atmosphere suddenly became silent.

"Go, go and meet Your Majesty!"

Fang Shikui's face was pale, and he stood up, his burly figure unconsciously revealing a huge momentum like mountains and seas, and even the flames and void next to him were distorted.
