With the emperor's edict to give the throne to the throne, the original emperor Tuoba Tian was completely thrown out of the clouds by everyone.

Now everyone's eyes are on the Pingbei General Mansion, the next emperor Tuoba Jun, and Shen Lingxi, who is very likely to become the crown prince.

Tuoba Jun is busy communicating with the clansmen of the royal family, hoping to be recognized by the elders of the royal family, of course, it is a matter of time before he is recognized by the royal family who only know pleasure, who calls Tuoba Jun has military power in his hands!

However, since he plans to be the emperor, in addition to cultivating his own power, some people who can be co-opted, Tuoba Jun still hopes to try his best to win them over.

Of course, for stubborn guys, Tuoba Jun has always been decisive, and when he saw a few stubborn old guys fall to the ground, the others obediently obeyed.

Tuoba Jun is busy forming his own team after ascending the throne, and the generals are all old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and some of the generals of the former Pingbei General Mansion will hold the military power in the next new court, the most important of which is Shen Lingxi's status, Tuoba Jun intends to let his righteous son control most of the power of the army.

After all, Tuoba Jun felt that the most critical military power was still in the hands of his own people, so that he would be more comfortable sleeping in the palace.

In terms of civil officials, Tuoba Jun used a lot of old Confucian scholars who were highly respected in the Xuanwu Kingdom, and basically cleaned up all the cronies during the reign of Prime Minister Li Cheng.

This kind of thing is taken for granted in the eyes of everyone, and even Prime Minister Li Ben himself is difficult to protect, not to mention the original minions under him.

Although Tuoba Jun has not officially ascended the throne, the rectification of the court is already in full swing.

Shen Lingxi was told more than once that there would be very high-ranking and powerful positions waiting for her in the future, so being in the attention of everyone made Shen Lingxi more and more cautious, for fear of being seen as flawed.

On this day, a very famous Confucian and Taoist master, Han Chengfei's mansion sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he hoped that Shen Lingxi could come over for a light meal or something.

Shen Lingxi knew that this Han Chengfei, who was in his sixties, had been favored by Tuoba Jun and would sit on the throne of the prime minister in the new court, so after seeing the invitation sent by Han Chengfei to his subordinates, Shen Lingxi did not hesitate much, and planned to go to Han Chengfei's mansion.

If it is possible, Shen Lingxi decided to give a good impression to this old man whose future power is no less than his own, and hopes that it is best to let him support him as the prince.

With this mentality, Shen Lingxi bathed and changed his clothes, dressing himself up as bookish as possible, after all, he was a Confucian and Taoist master, and he definitely didn't like the rough appearance of a military general.

Coupled with Shen Lingxi's deliberate pretence, that kind of bookish and angry look, Shen Lingxi felt that he would definitely be able to get the favor of Han Chengfei's boss in the first time.

Shen Lingxi deeply knows that when meeting a person, the so-called first impression at first sight is very important, sometimes liking or disliking a person is whether the person at first glance is very suitable for his heart, as long as the first impression gives people a very good feeling, then the next relationship will be twice the result with half the effort.

Holding a folding fan in his hand and dressed as a scholar, Shen Lingxi took a photo in front of the bronze mirror, feeling that a beautiful and turbid prince had been freshly baked, so he nodded and got into the carriage with Wangcai carrying the purchased meeting gift.

The carriage drove slowly on the streets of Jianye, and Shen Lingxi sat in the carriage thinking that he must do his best to establish a good relationship with the various officials of the new imperial court, so that if Tuoba Jun suddenly drove west one day, then it would be best for these people to stand up and support him to ascend to the throne of Xuanwu Kingdom.

With such a plan, Shen Lingxi has paid special attention to his recent behavior, originally the generals of the Pingbei General Mansion and Yuwenlong's biological father Yuwenhe are brothers who have lived and died together, and he has always had a good relationship with them after being accepted by Tuoba Jun as a righteous son.

Now the generals of the Pingbei General Mansion have become important generals in the new imperial court with military power, and now most of them have expressed their support for themselves as the generals, so Shen Lingxi feels that if Tuoba Jun is no longer there, there is still a high probability that these people will support him.

Now it is the support of the civil officials of the new imperial court, and now the future prime minister Han Chengfei, the head of the civil officials, will entertain himself, this is a great opportunity, at least Shen Lingxi feels that today is a good opportunity to win over Han Chengfei.

Thinking about these thoughts, Shen Lingxi's carriage soon came to the door of Han Chengfei's mansion.

As a respected old Confucian scholar, in fact, Han Chengfei's current mansion is not magnificent, but from the height of the gate and courtyard wall, it can be seen that the original Han Chengfei is still very low-key.

Getting off the carriage, Shen Lingxi looked at this mansion, which was obviously much smaller than the Pingbei General's Mansion, and thought to himself that as long as Han Chengfei became the prime minister of the new imperial court, his mansion might soon change drastically.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi smiled and came to the front gate of Han Chengfei's mansion, where a large group of people had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Shen Lingxi get down from the carriage, everyone in front of the door greeted them.

The first old man walked up to Shen Lingxi with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically came up to hold Shen Lingxi's hand.

The old man didn't expect so many people to invite the young general to be a guest but couldn't get his wish, the old man just had the mentality of giving it a try, and he really didn't expect the young general to come immediately. It seems that the young general looks up to the old man very much! haha......"

Obviously, this old man who held Shen Lingxi as soon as he came up was Han Chengfei, but Han Chengfei was so enthusiastic that Shen Lingxi was really a little surprised.

Although it was Han Chengfei who took the initiative to invite himself, but there were too many people in Jianye City who took the initiative to invite him, Shen Lingxi originally thought that Han Chengfei only took the initiative to invite himself out of politeness, but now it seems that Han Chengfei also wants to take the initiative to win him over.

Shen Lingxi was still in the carriage just now, thinking about how to give this old guy a perfect first impression, so that this future prime minister would be on his side, but he didn't expect that Han Chengfei was the same as he thought.

Since everyone is the same, and they all hope that each other can be their future helpers, then there is nothing to say, and today will definitely go very well.

Seeing Han Chengfei's attitude, as well as Han Chengfei's whole family going out to greet him at the door, Shen Lingxi could feel that this old man in his sixties was actually very eager for power.

At least not like what outsiders see, this Confucian and Taoist master of the Xuanwu Kingdom is that kind of cold and arrogant.

It turns out that these are all the old man's deliberate impressions to the world in order to maintain his highly respected image, but in fact, this old man is still very eager for power in his heart.

Since Han Chengfei was so enthusiastic, Shen Lingxi couldn't let this warm atmosphere be cold, so he smiled all the way and was led by the old man to the mansion.

Entering the living room of Han Chengfei's mansion, the guests and hosts were seated, and Shen Lingxi hurriedly asked Wangcai to bring up all the gifts he had prepared.

Because he knew that Han Chengfei was a very famous scholar of Confucianism, when choosing gifts, Shen Lingxi selected a number of collected Confucian classics, of course, some of which were originals, and some were even unique.

Shen Lingxi felt that such an academic person should be interested in these precious books, of course, in addition to the precious books, Shen Lingxi also prepared some fine silk for Han Chengfei's family.

Feeling that it was too tacky to send gold and silver, Shen Lingxi also prepared some fine jade for Han Chengfei, as well as things like the four treasures of the study.

As the boxes full of gifts were opened, Han Chengfei's smile became even gentler, originally seeing those precious books, Han Chengfei knew that these books were worth a lot of money, but later when the jade in the box was opened, Han Chengfei's eyes were straight.

Like Shen Lingxi, Han Chengfei didn't expect that Shen Lingxi was also sincere in order to befriend him.

Originally, Han Chengfei was still thinking about how to use it to tie up this young general who was very likely to become the prince in the future.

Now the gift he prepared has not been taken out, but the young general of the family has brought the gift up first, and at first glance, it is such a sincere gift, how can this make Han Chengfei not surprised!

Judging from Shen Lingxi's attitude towards himself, Han Chengfei knew that his move was right, and with the protection of Shen Lingxi, a young general, most of his official position as the future prime minister would be able to sit for a long time.

"The young general is really too polite, in fact, the young general doesn't have to spend so much, today the young general can come to my humble house, and the old man already feels full of brilliance. Haha!"

Han Chengfei happily accepted these gifts, and said that he did not forget to be polite.

"It's nothing, it's just some very ordinary gifts, as long as Lord Han likes it, then I'm very happy. ”

Since Shen Lingxi has already given Han Chengfei such a good impression, of course, he must continue to be polite and show his sincerity to the fullest.

"Haha, in fact, the old man also prepared some gifts for the major general, but I don't know if the major general likes these gifts. Come on, bring up the gifts. ”

Han Chengfei said and asked his subordinates to take out the gifts that were originally taken out after the banquet, because the current atmosphere is just right, which is equivalent to giving gifts to each other between friends, and it is no longer a unilateral bribe that he wanted in advance, of course, now that he takes out these gifts like this, Han Chengfei feels that this is more valuable, and it can also enhance the relationship with Shen Lingxi even more.

"Oh, the old man even prepared a gift for me, which surprised me. ”

Shen Lingxi put on a look of shame, but soon the subordinate brought the gift up.

Han Chengfei heard that Shen Lingxi liked money more, and once confiscated the family property of the original county guard in Donghua County, so he thought that Shen Lingxi was a person who loved money.

As a member of the literary world of the Xuanwu Kingdom, there are not a few scholars who are apprentices and grandchildren under Han Chengfei, and some of them also have a relatively high status, so they will give Han Chengfei some gifts and even valuable property every year, so Han Chengfei has actually had a very rich property for so many years.

It's just that Han Chengfei has not made too high-profile consumption in order to maintain his high-profile image, but this does not mean that he has no money, on the contrary, Han Chengfei's family has so much gold and silver that it can be piled up into a small mountain.

And in order to bribe Shen Lingxi, or to do what he liked, Han Chengfei cleaned up all the precious belongings in the family this time, and selected some very valuable things from them, and planned to give them to Shen Lingxi this time.

So when the box was opened, Shen Lingxi saw what third-grade gem defense bracelet, what second-grade gilded alchemy furnace, among which the highest value may be a first-class gem storage ring that has reached the pinnacle, this is a good thing that can not be found.

Shen Lingxi looked at them one by one, although the things were just such a small box, their value really couldn't be described by money.

Shen Lingxi felt that even if he took out a random piece and put it on the market for public auction, at least it could easily be sold for millions of taels of silver.

And the first-class storage ring, Shen Lingxi said that this good thing is the first time she has seen it, think about the existence of the first-class top-grade peak, this can no longer be described as a treasure, it can be said to be a holy object that can be encountered but not sought.

The value of this first-class storage ring, Shen Lingxi felt that if it was really taken out and sold, I am afraid that tens of millions of taels would be willing to be paid.

I didn't expect Han Chengfei to be so big, in order to win himself over, he prepared such a heavy gift, compared with the gift prepared by Shen Lingxi himself, this Han Chengfei's gift is really too heavy.

"This gift is too valuable, and I appreciate Lord Han's sincerity. It's just that I really don't dare to accept such a precious treasure!"

Shen Lingxi felt that if he really took this first-class storage ring, I was afraid that someone would soon go to Tuoba Jun to make a small report, so now Shen Lingxi was really hesitant to accept all these good things.

"The young general is the dragon and phoenix among the people, of course he can be qualified to have these good things, if the young general doesn't accept it, put it in the hands of me, an old man who is in his old age, then it is really a waste of good things! It doesn't matter, the young general can accept it boldly and boldly. ”

Han Chengfei felt that no matter how valuable things were, they couldn't keep it without the blessing of power, so it was better to use these things to pounce on a path to power for himself.

Seeing Han Chengfei's face as it should be, Shen Lingxi couldn't postpone it too much, so he could only accept all these things, and the big deal was to transfer the first-class storage ring to Tuoba Jun, which was regarded as a gift to celebrate Tuoba Jun's accession to the throne and become the emperor, so that he could also show his filial piety, so as to paralyze Tuoba Jun even more.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi smiled and let Wangcai carefully carry down the box full of treasures.
