Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian were both officials who had dealt with the emperor. The two of them lowered their heads and thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Your Majesty...... It seems that he can do such a thing......"

Cao Gengyun whispered: "Fan Hui sent a letter not long ago, and he also brought me one by the way, mentioning that when he first returned to the court, the emperor summoned him, saying that he was not rehabilitated, but pardoned, and those words of resentment against the court when he was in office could not be regarded as if they had not happened, but the emperor was magnanimous and forgave him, so let him return to the court, he had to make some requests to him......"

The emperor summoned Fan Huizhi, a former student of Wumen, to go back, deliberately emphasizing his black history, and saying that he was magnanimous and did not care, so he hoped that he could become a force in the court to counter the old faction of Sun Ge, but he could not attack the officials of the Sun faction with the matter of changing the law, and he could not provoke the thorn of the inadequacy of the provisions of the new policy of the reform, and also asked him not to be too ostentatious when targeting the officials of the Sun faction, but to effectively weaken the power of the old Sun Ge...... In short, it is to want the horse to run, but also to have the horse not eat grass. If Fan Huizhi didn't listen, the emperor would dismiss his official at any time, anyway, he was "deserved".

Fan Huizhi laughed angrily at that time. Even if he once had the idea of fighting to the death with the Sun family after returning to the dynasty and repaying the king's great favor with his life, when he heard the emperor say this, he lost his momentum.

In the letter, he complained to his old friend, saying that he wanted to do something practical in the court, and at the same time he had to face the persecution and suppression of the Sun family and the emperor's many restrictions, which was really boring. If he continues to stay, he is afraid that before anything is done, he will be angry with the emperor and Sun Ge first. Therefore, when the Sun family was planning to send him out of Beijing, he pushed the boat down the river to seek a foreign post. As a local official, he can do more practical things and suffer less restraints, which is much stronger than staying in the capital and being angry at both ends.

As soon as Cao Gengyun took out his old friend's letter now, everyone felt that the emperor's character was really indescribable. He obviously needed to reactivate the Wu Sect to compete with the Sun Ge Lao faction, but after pardoning their crimes, he still had to emphasize that they were still guilty, and refused to admit that he had wronged his loyal ministers, and then not only could not provide assistance, but also set many restrictions on the Wu Sect's former life. Who dances in shackles and can still dance out of flowers? Fan Huizhi can endure for a few years, and then seek a foreign appointment, he is already very kind and loyal.

Now, the emperor obviously wants to use the Zhou family to protect the eight princes and ensure that the eight princes ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, but he still deliberately charges the Zhou family first, splashes a basin of dirty water, and then shows magnanimity to "forgive" the Zhou family, so that the Zhou family is grateful and willing to follow his orders...... He's thinking too much, isn't he?

After doing so many things, he is not afraid that the Zhou family will guess the truth, not only is he not grateful, but he still holds a grudge against him?

The Zhou family has guarded the border for nearly a hundred years, I don't know how many children have shed blood and sacrificed, the emperor doesn't know how to be compassionate, but he has to convict the Zhou family of collaborating with the enemy, so he is willing to reuse it, what is this treating people as? !

Haijiao remembered the Zhenguo Mansion that had been suppressed and bullied since entering Beijing in his previous life, when the emperor watched the Sun family beat the children of the Zhou family to death and mutilation, and then graced the children of the Zhou family to let them enter the forbidden army as a small guard, is it also out of this idea? Therefore, after the fall of the Sun family, the Zhou family will be so active in expressing themselves and striving to return to the border to lead the army!

Haijiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that this kind of calculation was strange and disgusting.

Cao Gengyun pouted and said: "If the emperor really has this plan, then Zhenguo Gong will be unhappy, and he can only push the boat down the river, right?" Zhenguo Gong will definitely take into account the overall situation, and would rather grieve his own ...... "After all, the old Guogong is not young, but his children, grandchildren and clansmen are still very young. There was also a shortage of personnel in the Northwest Frontier Army. For the sake of border stability, the old man is willing to do anything.

Lu Bainian sighed: "The emperor still attaches too much importance to the results of the law change. In order to continue the strategy of changing the law, he would rather endure the Sun family's misdeeds for so many years...... "Because I was worried that the mouse would hurt the jade bottle, the emperor himself was dancing in shackles!" If he is still young and strong, it will be fine, and people who are not in good health and fall ill at every turn will still do this, and the result will only fuel the arrogance of the Sun family. The Sun family has been arrogant in the court so far, and the emperor has an unshirkable responsibility.

Lu Bainian has long since died of his heart, and now he just sighs a few words. It's just that if the Zhenguo Mansion knew the emperor's true intentions, I am afraid that it would only be able to endure disgust and accept the emperor's "grace". When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Zhenguogong's family.

Cao Gengyun muttered in a low voice: "In this way, there will be no accident in the third room of the Zhou family, right?" After all, the emperor wants to show favor to the Zhou family...... But it's too cheap, that wicked! ”

Haitang whispered: "This is just my guess, but it may not be accurate." Maybe the emperor and Tu Rong have other ideas? ”

Hai Jiao suddenly sneered: "Even if they have other ideas, it doesn't matter, what the emperor is most worried about right now is what the prince has not decided for a long time." If the Zhou family takes the initiative to share the king's worries, it will be difficult to splash the sewage in that basin, right? ”

The others were stunned when they heard this, Cao and Lu didn't understand why Haijiao said this, Haitang guessed first: "Brother is saying that Zhen Guogong can take the lead?" If the Zhou family took the initiative to express their support for the Eight Princes, the emperor and his henchmen could not sit idly by and watch the heads of loyal ministers be stigmatized. In order to ensure that the eighth prince can successfully establish the prince, they may have to take the initiative to solve the hidden danger of the old lady of the three-room horse for the Zhou family! ”

After the Zhou family took the first step to show their loyalty, it was impossible for the emperor to mention any more crimes of collaborating with the enemy, which would only make the loyal ministers mistakenly think that their loyalty was fed to the dog. If you can really grab this step, the Zhenguo Mansion will be able to turn passive into active.

But the emperor is thousands of miles away in the capital, and Tu Rong's investigation has already been carried out more than halfway, before he investigates the results, will Zhenguo Gong really have time to express his position to the emperor?

In this regard, Haijiao could only say: "We just have to tell Zhen Guogong what we think, how to decide, that is his old man's business." ”

Anyway, if the emperor's intentions are really as Xiaomei guessed, the worst outcome of the Zhou family is to do things for the emperor on the charge of "clansmen collaborating with the enemy" and ensure that the eighth prince succeeds to the throne. But if things go well, the Zhou family will not only be able to get rid of the stigma, but also improve the current bad relationship with the emperor and become the generals trusted by the emperor again.

Isn't it just to seek another time from the dragon's work? It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and the Zhou family is still very experienced.

The eighth prince is still young, and there is no help behind him, far from the point of marrying a wife and taking concubines, and having relatives and manpower available. Even if he is the same as his father, he is a white-eyed wolf, and he will not turn his face on the Zhou family so quickly. In the next ten years, the Zhou family can slowly plan for their children and the Northwest Frontier Army.

If the emperor's intentions are not as Haitang guessed, and he really wants to trap the Zhou family in injustice, then the Zhou family took the initiative to express his willingness to support the eighth prince to ascend to the throne, can the emperor really refuse?

The Zhou family now not only has the military power of the Northwest Frontier Army, but also has a certain prestige in the circle of Qingliu Wenchen because they have rescued many of the former students of the Wu family. is so civil and martial, as long as the emperor issues an order, there will be military generals who support the holy will to enter Beijing to serve as officials, which will instantly change the current situation of the Sun family being the dominant family in the court.

Can the emperor really refuse?

No, even if he is not happy in his heart, he will bite this incense bait!

Reef sneered again.

Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian looked at each other, but they could feel that there was a deep desire surging into their hearts from the depths of their hearts.

As the former son of Wumen under the protection of the Zhou family, it seems to be ...... It's quite a pleasant future.

Haitang watched the expressions on everyone's faces change and smiled slightly.
