Wang fu.

Wang Jinghui frowned and paced back and forth in the study.

He originally thought that today's early dynasty, according to the voting method proposed by Huo Yu, with the help of Wei Lianyi, who resisted his daughter's succession to the throne with the help of hundreds of military officials in the court, would be able to take advantage of the general trend to exclude Wei Lianyi.

But what he never expected was that Wei Lianyi would come up with a competition to elect the candidate for the new monarch.

This undoubtedly caught him off guard and even the civil and military officials.

Now that Wei Lianyi has completely gained a firm foothold in the court, it may not be so easy to exclude her by voting.

In addition to Wang Jinghui, there are two other people in the study, namely Shen Xiaohan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Qi Xikun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

It's just that at this time, the two of them didn't speak, just sat there quietly, looking at their noses and noses, waiting for Wang Jinghui to come up with an idea.

After a long time, Wang Jinghui finally stopped, then sighed lightly and muttered: "It seems that behind the third princess, there is a master who is giving advice." ”

Qi Xikun and Shen Xiaohan glanced at each other, but they were speechless.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in with a tray on it, on which were three bowls of chicken soup full of color and flavor.

This middle-aged man is Wang Jinghui's son, Wang Indica.

Wang Qiyu smiled and said: "Dad, you haven't eaten since the morning, I ordered you to make your favorite chicken soup below, you and the two adults can taste it?" ”

"Hmph."

Seeing Wang Indica, Wang Jinghui snorted coldly, and then said lightly: "I can't eat anything now, you can take it back." ”

Hearing Wang Jinghui's words, Shen Xiaohan and Qi Xikun's faces couldn't help but stiffen.

The two of them can be said to have come back with Wang Jinghui, and now the sun is about to go down.

I've been hungry for such a long time, so if you don't eat, forget it, there's no need to make up our minds.

It's just that now that Wang Jinghui has spoken, the two of them can only watch with their eyes blank.

You can't have a sad face on your boss there, and you can eat it yourself.

Looking at the gleam in Shen Xiaohan and Qi Xikun's eyes, Wang Qiyu naturally understood what the two of them were thinking.

He put the two bowls of chicken soup on the tray on the table in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, Lord Qi, this chicken is a local chicken specially bought from the countryside, and it is fresh." ”

"My dad is not hungry, but the two adults must be hungry, you two taste it first, and then help me persuade my dad when the time comes."

"Hehe, Wang Gongzi has a heart, then Shen is better to be respectful than obey his fate."

Shen Xiaohan said with a smile, and then he held the chicken soup in front of him and began to feast.

Seeing this, Qi Xikun on the side couldn't help but say: "Prince Wang, you are the son of Lord Wang, what is Lord Wang's temperament, you must know better than us outsiders, you put the chicken soup here first, and when your father thinks it clearly, he can eat it." ”

After speaking, he also learned from Shen Xiaohan, and quietly held the bowl and drank it.

"Dad, two adults, then I'll go down first."

Seeing this, Wang Jiyu left the study with the tray in his hand.

Wang Jinghui didn't pay too much attention to this episode, and all his thoughts now are on the court.

Now Wei Lianyi proposed to elect a new monarch by means of competition.

This is undoubtedly the army of the two major factions of the court and the military at the same time.

Because whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, they are not Wei Lianyi's opponents.

Therefore, the proposal of martial arts competition, the two of them will definitely not agree.

But Jiang Shunjie's words in the court made the officials who chose neutrality also faintly have a tendency to fall towards Wei Lianyi.

As Jiang Shunjie said, Song Jingfu was defeated in the battle with the former emperor, if he makes a comeback again, then who in Great Wei is his opponent?

Wei Lianyi is now a Hidden Dragon Realm martial artist, and his future promotion to the Soul Palace Realm is almost a certainty.

With her, maybe Song Jingfu will make a comeback in the future, and she will also have a certain coping strategy.

But if one of the eldest prince and the second prince ascends the throne, there is really no way to take Song Jingfu.

At that time, the Great Wei Dynasty was usurped, and naturally there was no need to compete for the throne.

The reason why the current neutral faction has not completely fallen to Wei Lianyi is that they are worried that the civil and military factions still have a backhand.

Before the situation in the court is clear, they will definitely not take sides easily.

In this way, you can avoid being liquidated when the eldest prince and the second prince ascend the throne.

Just then, a servant walked in quickly.

He said respectfully: "Master, Master Huo, Master Kong, Lord Wu is here." ”

Hearing the words of the next person, Wang Jinghui, Shen Xiaohan, and Qi Xikun were all stunned.

In addition to Jiang Shunjie, the power cores of the civil and military factions can be said to have gathered in the palace.

Wang Jinghui frowned slightly, and the essence in his vicissitudes of life flashed away.

The corners of his mouth lifted a chuckle, and he muttered: "It seems that Huo Yu has no countermeasures now, and is ready to join forces with the old man completely." ”

He had expected this for a long time.

Last night, Huo Yu came over and proposed to force Wei Lianyi out of the game by voting.

After listening to Huo Yu's proposal, Wang Jinghui immediately nodded and agreed.

After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

In any case, in the matter of Wei Lianyi, the two sides were still able to join forces to defend themselves against foreign enemies for a short time.

When Wei Lianyi is out, the two sides can close the door and discuss until the final candidate for the throne is chosen.

Now that Huo Yu can't bear to come to the door, it shows that he is more flustered than Wang Jinghui.

Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to make peace, and then deal with Wei Lianyi together.

As for the next selection of the throne, as long as he seeks more benefits, he does not mind giving up the throne.

Wang Jinghui hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please." ”

"Yes."

The servant walked out quickly.

Qi Xikun and Shen Xiaohan had also finished drinking the chicken soup, got up and walked out of the study with Wang Jinghui.

Those who come are guests, and if they don't go out to greet them, they will inevitably not be taken seriously.

After a while, the subordinate led Huo Yu, Kong Jingyi, and Wu Zexing to the courtyard of the study.

"Hehe, Lord Huo, Master Kong, Master Yin are visiting, Wang is disrespectful, disrespectful."

Wang Jinghui greeted with a smile in his fists.

"Hehe, Lord Shousuke, it's our sudden visit, it's quite uninvited, Lord Shoufu don't want to be surprised."

Huo Yu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Lord Qi and Lord Shen were also there." ”

"Master Huo."

Shen Xiaohan and Qi Xikun laughed.

The harmonious appearance of the two sides will not make people realize that the two sides have secretly fought for the throne.

"Lord Huo, Master Kong, Lord Yin, please come inside."

Wang Jinghui gestured falsely and beckoned the three of them to walk towards the study.

When everyone sat down in the study, there were immediately maids holding the brewed hot tea one by one, and the fragrance of tea immediately permeated the entire study.

Wang Jinghui took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "I don't know why Lord Huo is visiting at this time?" ”

Now that time is pressing, he doesn't have time to fight with the other party.

Come up with a plan as soon as possible so that both parties can sleep peacefully tonight.

Huo Yu took a sip of hot tea and sighed lightly: "Lord Shoufu, everything that happened in Tai'an City today, I don't know if Lord Shoufu, Lord Shen, and Lord Qi have ever heard of it. ”

What is happening in Tai'an City today?

Wang Jinghui and the three of them were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Huo Yu in puzzlement.

"Lord Huo, what happened in the city today?"

Qi Xikun asked with a puzzled expression.

Kong Jingyi, who was on the side, explained with a wry smile: "Everything that happened in the morning has been publicized. ”

"The third princess intends to use the method of competition to elect the new king, and it has also been widely recognized by the people in the city."

"Not only that, but even the warriors in the city highly respect the way to elect a new monarch."

"Now, except for the civil and military officials in the court, almost all the people in Tai'an City support the third princess to succeed to the throne."

After listening to Kong Jingyi's words, Wang Jinghui and the three suddenly changed.

They didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in Tai'an City on this day.

Wei Lianyi's move can be said to be using the people in the city to force them to make concessions!

Huo Yu shook his head and sighed lightly: "I have to say that this move of the third princess is indeed unexpected." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Wang Jinghui, and then said: "Lord Shoufu, now everyone in Tai'an City can be said to be supporters of the Third Princess, and with the passage of time, this general trend is no longer limited to Tai'an City. ”

"I'm afraid that the next thing is Jingzhou, and even the people of Kyushu in the Great Wei Dynasty will choose to support the third princess to succeed to the throne after hearing about this."

"Now that this news has not been completely publicized, we must find a way to cut through the mess quickly and end this matter as soon as possible!"

Hearing Huo Yu's words, Wang Jinghui frowned and thought for a moment, and then said quietly: "I don't know if Lord Huo has a good plan?" ”

"Now that we are in decline, if Lord Huo has a good plan, you might as well say it to everyone, anyway, all of you here are not outsiders, they are all old acquaintances in the court for many years."

Since Huo Yudu has already come to the door, it means that he already has an idea in his heart.

Facing the eyes of everyone present, Huo Yu chuckled and said, "Huo really has a way here, Lord Shoufu might as well listen to it." ”

"The people of Tai'an City now, although they have been instigated by the third princess, support her to succeed to the throne."

"But these people are nothing more than some wall grass, they catch the wind and listen to a few words, and they will immediately fall towards the third princess like the wall grass."

"These people are not worried, and they will not interfere with the election of a new monarch in the court."

"But the warriors on the rivers and lakes of Kyushu are a change that we have to consider."

"More and more warriors choose to support the succession of the third princess, which will inevitably give some obstacles to the court."

"So we must hurry, while everything has not yet become a prairie fire, and close the coffin as soon as possible!"

"Oh?"

Wang Jinghui raised his eyebrows, and then chuckled: "I don't know if Lord Huo has a good plan, let's end this matter as soon as possible?" ”

"Huo's method is very simple."

Huo Yu took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and then chuckled: "You and I will join forces to jointly elect the eldest prince to succeed tomorrow morning!" ”

Hearing Huo Yu's words, Qi Xikun and Shen Xiaohan's faces changed.

On the contrary, it was Kong Jingyi and Wu Zexing, perhaps the three of them had passed through the gas before they came, and they did not show any gaffes.

Before the three of them came again, they had already made this decision in advance, that is, to give up continuing to support the second prince to ascend the throne and support the eldest prince instead.

Hearing Huo Yu's proposal, Wang Jinghui's eyes flashed with essence,

He naturally considered this method, whether to switch to the second prince and take the throne.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yu brought someone to the door in advance.

However, he also knows very well that if he wants Huo Yu and his faction to switch to the eldest prince, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Unless he can get enough benefits, why doesn't Huo Yu support the third princess?

Wang Jinghui took a sip of tea, and then said quietly: "Lord Huo's proposal really flattered Wang, but what makes Wang curious is that if you want Lord Huo to support the eldest prince, what does the eldest prince need to pay for this?" ”

As an old fritter in the court, you must learn to figure out the deep meaning of the other party's words.

Who will do what is not profitable?

Huo Yu chuckled: "It's very simple, Huo has a granddaughter under his knees, named Ji Nuan, who is now eighteen years old, whether it is appearance, figure, or temperament, she is an abnormal Peugeot."

Hearing Huo Yu's words, Wang Jinghui and the others immediately understood what he meant.

This is to borrow Ji Nuan to marry the eldest prince and become the future queen, and then both parties will be their own people.

With this relationship, even if the eldest prince is on the throne, he will definitely not liquidate the members of the martial arts faction who once supported the second prince.

It's just that there is a problem in this, the second prince loses the opportunity to compete for the throne, what should he do if he stays?

Determine the position of the queen, you don't need to ask the eldest prince at all, Wang Jinghui can agree for him.

It's just the placement of the second prince, but it's not that simple.

Wang Jinghui said quietly: "Then I don't know how to arrange it for the second prince, can he agree to this matter?" ”

"As for the second prince."

Huo Yu frowned, and then said: "Yanzhou once had a martial king who rebelled, and it was not suitable as a fief for the second prince. ”

"If the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, he can give the second prince the title of King Yan, and the fief of Guwu and two states."

Guzhou and Wuzhou served as fiefs of the two princes.

Wang Jinghui frowned and thought about it.

Guzhou and Wuzhou are both located in the northwest of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the area is almost the same as Yanzhou, and they are both unusually barren.

If only one of the states is used as the fief of the second prince, then the second prince will definitely have a lot of resentment in his heart.

But now that these two states are the fiefdoms of the second prince, it is enough to give face.

After all, in the past, the king was given a state as the prince's fief.

Although the second prince failed to succeed to the throne, he was able to be in Guzhou and Wuzhou, but the prince could be regarded as a local emperor.

Wang Jinghui frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Since Master Huo has said so, then Wang has nothing to say, so he will do what Master Huo said." ”

"Since Lord Shousuke agrees to this matter, let's first discuss some details of tomorrow's court meeting."

Huo Yu chuckled and said, "In order to prevent the third princess from dying again, it is very important to win over the Qinglong Commander and the Vermilion Bird Commander of the Zhenwu Division. ”

Wang Jinghui nodded and chuckled: "This is natural. ”

As long as Huang Zhenkai and Yuan Xian are pulled into their own camp, the three princesses will no longer be able to jump.

Huo Yu said with a smile: "Then tonight, Huo entered the palace to persuade the second prince, the Qinglong Commander and the Vermilion Bird Commander, please ask Lord Shoufu." ”

This matter is now only a consensus between the two sides, but the second prince Wei Zongyue has not yet informed him of this matter, Huo Yu has to go to the palace to inform the second prince of this matter, and persuade him to give up the throne.

"Okay."

Wang Jinghui nodded, agreeing with Huo Yu's proposal.

Then after the two sides negotiated the relevant details about tomorrow morning, Huo Yu took someone to say goodbye and left.

Wang Jinghui sent the three of them all the way to the gate of the palace, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the backs of the three of them riding away in the carriage.

His eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and he muttered in a low voice: "It seems that this matter, tomorrow morning, will be decided." ”

The sun was about to set, and after finally refining all the medicinal effects of the Mud Pill Pill, Su Yu stood up and stretched his arms.

"Time flies."

Looking at the layers of burning clouds that were stained by the setting sun, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Now that the Su Mansion is still being rebuilt, he doesn't need to go home.

Liang Yuxuan and others even used their Qianhu Mansion as a temporary residence, and took their family members over to settle down temporarily.

Now at dinner time, when he was about to ask Ma Zai to order a few dishes at the Grand Hyatt Restaurant, Hong Heng, a hundred households under his command, walked in quickly.

"I've seen my lord."

Hong Heng said respectfully.

Su Yu said with a surprised face: "Hong Heng, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"My lord, that's the case, the lowly position has now encountered a tricky matter, and it needs to be decided by the adult."

Hong Heng said respectfully: "Just half an hour ago, the family of Xie Yuping, a folk girl in Tai'an City, came to report to the official, saying that Xie Yuping was raped by Xu Delin, the grandson of Xu Ming, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Xie Yuping has now committed suicide by throwing herself into the river."

"My lord, you say, do we want to arrest Xu Delin?"

Su Yu frowned and said: "Shouldn't this kind of case be reported to the official, what does it have to do with our Zhenwu Division?" ”

Hong Heng continued: "My lord, Xie Yuping's family has reported to the official, but the government doesn't want to take care of it, after all, the culprit is Xu Delin, who is the grandson of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"What's more, Xu Delin is a martial artist of the Copper Skin Realm."

Hearing this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Su Yu's mind.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, the civil and military officials in the court may be the smelly and hard stones in the pit, but their families are not an opportunity for a breakthrough."

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he muttered in a low voice: "As long as you hold their weakness, won't you be able to take them down without blood?" ”

He was still thinking about how to find a way to change the minds of the military officials in the court.

Now it seems that there is no way, isn't there a way?

These officials may not be guilty, but their descendants must have committed many things over the years.

When the time comes, all of them will be sent to the military prison, isn't this just bringing the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

Thinking of this, Su Yu got up and walked in the direction of Zhenfu Mansion.

Hong Heng behind him was a little confused, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, what should we do about Xie Yuping's case?" ”

Su Yutou said without replying: "Arrest and put him in prison!" ”

Hong Heng responded: "Yes! (End of chapter)
