"The struggle between the two factions began as early as the later years of the Xinzong," Sima Xin said, "but the Xinzong Shengming has always been left and right to check and balance, so that the two factions abide by their duties.

"However, you also know that Emperor Xinzong suddenly fell ill and died, and he left too suddenly, and he didn't even have a prince in the East Palace, and in the end he could only be succeeded by the emperor's eldest grandson.

"And our Emperor Changle ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and he was young and weak, which led to the fall of power and the control of these two factions."

"Then ......," Xu Zhen asked, "these two factions, which are the two factions?" ”

"Won't it?" Sima Xin was surprised, "Don't you know this?" One faction is the Qian Party headed by Qian Youdao, the prime minister of the dynasty.

"This Qian Youdao is the son of Qian Qifeng, an important minister of the Three Dynasties, the Qian family has protégés everywhere, big roots and deep roots, and their power is all over the three provinces and six departments.

"The other faction is the British Party headed by King Li Xiao, and their forces include royal relatives and nobles, princes of various states, and military generals, and their forces are also very strong."

"The King?" Xu Zhen grinned, saying that he had not heard of it.

There is no way, whether it is the host memory or "Demon Dao", there is no information about this prince.

"Sixty years ago, during the Taikang period, Xuan Chengzong Leo was deposed. This King of England is the son of Emperor Chengzong!

"He is the cousin of Emperor Xinzong Li Xing, but he is twenty-seven years younger than Emperor Xinzong!"

"Xinzong's younger brother, that is, ......" Xu Zhen crossed his fingers to sort out the relationship, "The uncle of the Holy Lord today?" ”

"Yes," Sima Xin said, "this person is also a legendary figure of Daxuan. His father was a deposed emperor, and with such a sensitive identity, it was not easy for him to survive in the environment where his fangs stood at that time.

"But he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, won the trust of Emperor Xinzong, and finally became a generation of powerful princes, and it is a miracle to fight against the Qian Party."

Oh......

Xu Zhen naturally thought that a powerful prince was still a deposed emperor, so would he think that regaining the throne was not a usurpation?

Xu Zhen can think like this, let alone the court and today's young emperor?

But this British prince is still standing, which shows how strong his strength is!

"The two factions have been at odds for a long time," Sima Xin said, "especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, the struggle intensified, and many people suffered from it.

"Xu Zhen ......" Sima Xin looked into the distance and said meaningfully, "I won't hide it from you, I myself can be regarded as half a member of the British Party!" ”

"Oh?" Xu Zhen was surprised, "You too?" Half? ”

"Assassin Han Wentao...... How did he die, you can understand it when you think about it. Alas......" Sima Xin shook his head and sighed, "I am Sima of Songzhou, so naturally I have to follow in the footsteps of the assassin history." ”

"Han Wentao is a member of the British Party?" Xu Zhen asked.

Sima Xin nodded and said bitterly: "Cui Xiaotian is out of control, Han Wentao can't escape the blame, and the great history of thorns is ...... Kill if you say kill......

"Actually, Cui Xiaotian's secret is not only aimed at the British Party, the British king kept him, and he also wanted to use him to clamp down on the Qian Party."

Oh......

Only then did Xu Zhen understand the stakes of the last Cui Xiaotian incident.

"Xu Zhen, if my guess is right...... Sima Xin said, "Song Zhili and you are both emperors' people, right?" ”

Yes? This......

Xu Zhen grinned, surprised.

"No need to pretend," Sima Xin said, "Cui Xiaotian is a fireball that can be burned at any time, and his secret will not only hurt the British Party, but also the Qian Party, so neither faction will target Cui Xiaotian."

"Since Song Zhili is so fearless, does this need to be said?" Sima Xin said firmly, "You must have been instructed by your superiors, and you are all acting according to orders, right?" ”

I see......

Xu Zhen grinned again, no wonder this Sima Xin cooperated with him so much! That's what he thinks?

If he knew that Song Zhili was pitted by himself when he cleared the three major bullies, he didn't know what his expression would be?

However, since others think so, there is no need to clarify it.

So, Xu Zhen had no choice but to nod and admit: "Master Sima is really as wise as a torch." ”

"At this time, don't compliment me," Sima Xin said with a red face, "I'm ashamed of my position!" If I could have figured it out earlier, I wouldn't have been so stupid! ”

No way?

Xu Zhen smacked his tongue, Sima Xin actually used the word "lowly position", it seems that he really regarded himself as the emperor's cronies.

"Xu Zhutou, if you have offended before, I hope you will forgive me!" Sima Xin bowed.

"It's too polite," Xu Zhen hurriedly returned the salute, "Lord Sima has actually made a great contribution, after all, Cui Xiaotian was caught by you!" You can rest assured, Lord Song Zhili knows it in his heart, and he will report it truthfully. ”

Hearing this, Sima Xin was finally relieved, and he no longer doubted the identity of Xu Zhen's cronies.

"In that case," Sima Xin said, "you pretended to be a fortune teller and came to Daguan City, apparently by order?" Xu Zhutou, can you tell me something? ”

"Well...... Xu Zhen covered his face and thought for a few seconds, and finally said, "Don't worry too much, adults, I'm here to save my uncle!" It's just that I didn't expect that Fang Wuxi would be involved in so many complicated things. ”

The more Xu Zhen told the truth, the more Sima Xin didn't believe it, he only thought that Xu Zhen had a secret order, and it was inconvenient to tell him and the plate.

"Isn't it easy to talk about uncle?" Sima Xin said, "I'll just let him go." ”

"Don't," although Xu Zhen was happy in his heart, he still waved his hand and said, "The Divine Catcher Division is here, and at this time, if you let him go, it will only cause suspicion and trouble."

"Let's wait until we find out the ins and outs and make sure my uncle has nothing to do with it!"

Xu Zhen said this, naturally he has a reason.

Even if Sima Xin released Yu Lin, it would be absolutely impossible for him to bring Yu Lin back to Yanping safely.

And then they will be more suspicious.

The difficulty lies in the case of Fang Wuxi, no one knows who is the enemy and who is the friend.

"Okay," Sima Xin said, "I hope this case can be concluded soon, I don't know, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Lord Sima," Xu Zhen said, "I still have to ask for your help with something, the retinue I brought with us has been exposed, and we need to find a safe place to stay." ”

Before, Xu Zhenneng made up to be a prescription and deceived Lian Ji, which was from the hand of Qin Yin.

Therefore, Qin Yin and Shen Yu have been exposed, so naturally they can no longer stay from the inn.

"This is easy to say," Sima Xin said, "In the past few days, Lord Changshi has gone to the Holy Capital to do business, so you can simply live in the yamen of the state capital, and it will be safe there." ”

Originally, Xu Zhen thought that the safest place was this county jail, but Qin Yin and Shen Yu were both women, and it was really not suitable to live in the prison.

So, he agreed to Sima Xin's proposal......
