Chapter 254: Candidate [4.5k Seeking Subscription]

Lu Yunzhou's life has entered a busy track again.

In the two days before Xiu Mu, Lu Yunzhou went to Cao Qiudao to practice swords in the morning, and reported to Kuang Mansion on time in the afternoon, and buried himself in the study to copy two peerless military books.

Throughout the afternoon, when Kuang Ziyin was free, he would come over to guide Lu Yunzhou, and when he was not free, he would ask Kuang Junyao to accompany him.

The beauty is beside her, the red sleeves are fragrant, and the atmosphere of copying books immediately becomes charming.

Lu Yunzhou didn't dare to do anything too much to Kuang Junyao because Kuang Ziyin might come in at any time, but he couldn't help but rub the ground, making Kuang Junyao's cheeks fly, and there was nothing he could do about him.

After two days of intensive study, Lu Yunzhou's understanding of the art of war has also improved by leaps and bounds, and the dark and mysterious curtain of the way of war has also opened a small corner in front of Lu Yunzhou, allowing him to watch and peep and cautiously explore the magnificent, bloody and cruel world behind the curtain.

In the evening, Lu Yunzhou will return to the Qi family manor and train hard with the soldiers, although Shanrou is dissatisfied with Lu Yunzhou's mysterious and mysterious every afternoon, but he will participate in training with Lu Yunzhou every day.

Just when Lu Yunzhou's life fell into a cycle of three points and one line, public opinion in the outside world also underwent earth-shaking changes.

The rumors of the Jixia School Palace, and the rumors in Linzi City, gradually combined in the past two days, and became two different stages before and after the incident, and at a very fast speed, they spread rapidly from the capital to other parts of the Qi Kingdom, triggering more and more discussions among the people everywhere.

People often think that the fact that the third son of the Qi family is going to write a letter to reform the official selection system is inseparable from the fact that Tiantian Dan sent troops to invite him there!

And now the mainstream rumors on the street have gradually divided into two diametrically opposed versions:

One of the parties firmly believed that Tian Dan was afraid that his position would not be guaranteed, so he wanted to block the third son of the Qi family from writing to reform the system, and intended to be unfavorable to the third son of the Qi family!

The evidence is that Rita Shan sent troops to forcibly escort the third son of the Qi family away!

The other party put forward divergent thinking, believing that Tian Dan did not forcibly escort the third son of the Qi family away, but invited him away, because Tian Dan was also very interested in reforming the official system, and was very concerned, and the purpose of inviting the third son of the Qi family was to ask him about the national policy and understand the reform of the system.

Most of the people on this side are supporters of Tian Dan, they worship their Tian Xiang, and they don't believe that their hero Tian Dan would do such a jealous thing!

Of course, Lu Yunzhou's covert intervention is naturally indispensable, sending people to spread gossip and secretly contributing to the spread of public opinion.

Just when the outside world is very loud and noisy, in the back garden of the back house, which is far away from the noisy street, it is a beautiful scenery.

Hou Sheng was chasing and teasing his concubines and maids in a peach forest, looking at the concubines and maids wearing light gauze and bewitching figures, smiling and smiling around himself in a variety of blood-making poses, Hou Sheng was about to pounce on with a cruel smile, but there was a report from the family general Fu Qing outside the peach forest:

"Childe, there has been a new development in the discussion of the third prince on the street!"

Hou Sheng quickly hugged the beautiful maid in front of him who was smiling and trying to dodge, and impatiently ordered: "Got it, you wait first!"

After a fierce action, the petals in the peach forest scattered and fluttered, and the high-pitched sound echoed in the back garden.

After a while, Hou Sheng walked out of the peach forest with sweaty heads and vague steps, stretched out his hand to take the silk silk handed by the servant on the side, wiped the sweat beads on his face, glanced at Fu Qing who was blushing, and said with a smile: "Report the news, just go in and play!"

Fu Qing's expression flashed with emotion, and he said with great joy: "Subordinate Xie Gongzi reward!"

Then he whispered the news he had heard.

After Hou Sheng heard this, his face sank, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand, Fu Qing stepped aside with interest, looked at Hou Sheng without saying a word, and left in a hurry.

Fu Qingzheng was stunned, and a smooth arm as white as a lotus root stretched out in the peach forest, and pulled him into the peach forest by surprise.

Hou Sheng hurriedly got on his horse, came to the small town, and entered his father's official office.

After waving back left and right and closing the door, Hou Sheng said solemnly: "Father, the rumors from the outside world have become more and more intense in the past two days, do you know what Tian Xiang's current attitude is?"

Hou Jun glanced at his son, reached out and touched the top of his head with sparse hair, and said helplessly: "I knocked on the side for my father a few times, but Tian Xiang didn't reveal his tone at all, and I couldn't see what his attitude was towards this matter, which made my father have a headache now!"

Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Father, the day after tomorrow will be the Great Dynasty, whether we will wait and see what happens on that day, or ......"

Hou Jun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Our Hou family has always disagreed with the Qi family, which is also well known, so there is no need to give them face." The Qi family's action this time is so big, there must be a deeper intention behind it, if the Qi family relies on this momentum, my future family will be in danger, so no matter what, as long as it is good for the Qi family, my future family will be resolutely destroyed!"

Hou Sheng was stunned, and his heart was a little moved, but he still asked with some uncertainty: "But we still don't know the attitude of Tian Xiang......

Hou Jun interrupted Hou Sheng impatiently, pouted, and said, "Son, do you think Tian Xiang doesn't know about the conflict between us and the Qi family?

Hou Sheng narrowed his gaze thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "The father is smart, and the son understands!"

...

...

The high palace walls and the wide moat cut off the palace from the rest of the city.

The atmosphere in the palace, as busy and orderly as ever, was full of the oppression of the rules, like a large shadow under the palace walls, and it was difficult for the people to take a good breath.

The square in front of the Qinzheng Palace, where the Qi Wangtian Fazhang was located, was full of guards, guarding the high platform where the entire hall was located.

A group of maids hurried through the square in front of the main hall, but were retreated by the chief of the guard.

"The king has an order, and idlers are not allowed to approach!"

"Yes, slaves obey!" the group of maids shrank their heads in fright, and hurriedly lowered their heads and detoured away from the high platform.

in the main hall.

The sunlight struggled through the panes, and the sunlight draped like a veil on the tiles around the hall, but it could not reach the dim area of the central throne in the depths of the hall.

Only a few lights were lit in the hall, and the light and shadow were blurred, and it was difficult to distinguish them.

King Qi sat on top of the high seat, changed his loose posture from the past to the outside world, sat up straight, and looked at the two officials below with blazing eyes.

"Mao Qing can bring back the results?"

Mao Jiao stood below and replied, "Back to the king, Weichen inquired around the Jixia School Palace, and the news he got was not much different from what was spread outside. Wei Chen thought that if he wanted to know how Qi Yu wanted to reform the official system, he would ......" Mao Jiao hesitated slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I still have to ask Qi Yu himself!"

King Qi nodded thoughtfully, and said with some eagerness: "In this way, I will bother Mao Qing to work hard again, find Qi Yu and ask clearly, if his reform is really beneficial to the country, on the day of the Great Dynasty, even if the widow openly argues with Tian Xiang, he must help him no matter what!"

Mao Jiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Listen to me, it's not that Weichen is unwilling to go to Qi Yu, but that Weichen has run into a wall at Qi Yu's place, and he is really not too sure that he will reveal the truth in advance...... However, this trip to persuade Qi Yu, Wechen here, there is a good candidate to recommend, if you let this person ask in person, Wechen is completely sure, and he can successfully bring the news back!"

King Qi raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Oh, who is it that makes Mao Qing have such confidence! Mao Qing has stopped selling Guanzi, why don't you hurry up and give it to the widow!"

Mao Jiao smiled slightly, looked at the official beside him, and said, "King Hui, this person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, it is Lord Taishi Lingshan beside me!"

King Qi's eyes suddenly focused on another person in the main hall, this person had a short beard, a face with a national character was angular, and the eyes under the thick eyebrows were resolute and resolute, worried about the country and the people, and he was about forty years old, but his sideburns were white, and wrinkles appeared on his forehead, but he looked much older than his actual age!

Shanqin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said categorically: "Wechen is willing to relieve the king's worries, but I don't know why Dr. Mao is so sure of Wechen?"

King Qi was also very curious, turned his head to look at Mao Jiao again, and said with a smile: "Mao Qing, what the hell is going on, everyone is confused!"

Mao Jiao glanced at Shanqin, and flashed in his mind the picture of Lu Yunzhou and Shanqin's daughter kissing me and me that day in the Jixia School Palace, and thought to himself: "It's not because you gave birth to a good daughter, this old man has gone to ask in person, Qi Yu, a stinky boy, you have to give some face if you say anything!"

Although Mao Jiao thought so in his heart, he still maintained a mysterious look on his face, and said with a faint smile: "The king, the good man, Weichen is not selling Guanzi, but this is the reason, if you say it in advance, it will not work!"

The Qi Palace's area is so vast, there are so many palaces, the line of sight is gradually getting farther away, and the secret whispers in the Qinzheng Palace are gradually low to inaudible......

Unlike the rest of the palace, where the sun never seems to shine, there is a corner of the palace that seems to be left untouched by the sun, but it seems to be independent from the world, and it has not received too much attention from people, and it has always lacked popularity.

In the empty hall, the wind whined and stirred.

The second prince Tian Jian looked at Xie Ziyuan, who was kneeling on the ground in the hall, sighed helplessly, and said, "Ziyuan, you are ......"

Xie Ziyuan propped his hands together, raised his head, and looked at Tian Jian with crazy hatred and deep excitement in his eyes--

"Your Highness, our recent efforts have not been in vain, the entire Linzi City has been boiling in the past two days, and Tian Xiang is now jealous of Qi Yu!"

Tian Jian's expression was not very happy, and he frowned and said, "Is it? The rumors I sent someone to inquire about are not the only one!"

Xie Ziyuan chuckled lowly, and in the dimly lit hall, his grinning teeth looked unusually white.

"Your Highness, I have been sending people to keep an eye on Qi Mansion during this time, Your Highness may not guess that another version of this rumor was simply sent by Qi Yu himself! Hehe, he still thinks that he is doing it very secretly, this kind of little trick can only deceive those ignorant people on the street, it is really stupid!"

Tian Jian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "I see, this is surprisingly very!"

Xie Ziyuan took the opportunity to speak: "Your Highness, the day after tomorrow will be the Great Dynasty, Qi Yu, this guy will be restructured this time, there will definitely be a conspiracy of the Qi family behind it, Ziyuan is just a student under the Jiexia, there is no way to watch the Dynasty, but Your Highness, you must let your subordinates stop Qi Yu's scheme!"

"This ......" Tian Jian hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The current pattern in the court is that Tian Xiang's family is dominant, and most of the ministers are Tian Xiang's faction, and Tian Xiang supports my eldest brother...... From this point of view, in fact, if the restructuring proposed by Qi Yu is successful, it will change the existing pattern in the court to some extent, and it will help me...... I believe that my father must have hoped the same, my father favored me even more, if he can take this opportunity to suppress Tian Xiang and regain power, I can have some hope!!"

Looking at Xie Ziyuan's extremely ugly face, Tian Jian soothed: "Ziyuan, I know you hate Qi Yu very much, but you still have to focus on the overall situation! Since the people have already spread the news that Tian Xiang is going to deal with Qi Yu, it means that what we did before has had an effect, this time we might as well let Qi Yu do us a favor at the end, if it is successful, Tian Xiang will naturally not let him go, why should we do it ourselves!"

Xie Ziyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said without giving up: "Your Highness, this time Qi Yu's official reform may not necessarily be successful, and most of the officials in the court are vested interests in the existing system. If Qi Yu's reform fails this time, and His Royal Highness makes it clear that he supports this reform, it will inevitably offend most of the officials in the court in vain. In the final analysis, if Your Highness wants to ascend to the throne in the future, or even to sit firmly on the throne, the most important thing is not the support of Tian Xiang and the king, but the support of the ministers of the court! Your Highness must not blindly trust Qi Yu, if it is a small loss, you will regret it!"

Tian Jian was shocked, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "What you said is that my current situation is really not suitable to take too many risks...... In this case, on the day of the Great Dynasty, I will restrain my people to just look at Qi Yu's proposition coldly and not make any statement! If Qi Yu's move succeeds, it is naturally the best, and if it fails, this prince will not offend the court and the courtiers because of this!"

Xie Ziyuan sighed in his heart, and when he saw that the matter had come to this, he had no choice but to bow his head.

When Xie Ziyuan left the palace with disappointment, it was already dark, and when he returned home, he was called to the study by his father Xie Zhengqing.

Xie Zhengqing looked at his son with a faint gaze, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through Xie Ziyuan.

Xie Ziyuan couldn't help but tremble, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at his father.

"My son has to understand one thing. ”

After a long time, Xie Zhengqing's voice came, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Xie Ziyuan lowered his head and responded, "The child listens to the teachings!"

Xie Ziyuan's eyes glanced at his son with deep meaning, and said in a deep voice: "My Xie family and Qi family, the well water has always been not the river water, this time Qi Yu proposed to reform the official system, for the father knows you very well, you must have ideas in your heart." But you have to remember that as one of the four major families of the Qi Kingdom, as long as the family's ranch is still there, no matter how the system is changed, it will never shake the foundation of my Xie family. But if you foolishly provoke a war between the two families of Qi and Jie, the consequences will be unpredictable! Don't forget, the Qi family not only has the Lai people as their confidence, they are in southern Xinjiang, but they have an army!"

Xie Ziyuan's heart was shocked, his heart suddenly tightened, and the feeling of panic suddenly appeared in his heart.

Xie Zhengqing said coldly: "The private relationship of the children and daughters will make you dizzy, although the Qi family's fire bull army in southern Xinjiang, although it can't make big waves in front of Tian Xiang, but it is not the strength of our Xie family that can be matched, and the stakes in this, I don't need to bother to talk about it!"

Xie Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head in despair.

Xie Zhengqing sighed and said: "You go back and think about it yourself, your father has almost prepared for the past few days, and tomorrow morning, my father will take you to the good mansion to propose!"

Xie Ziyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up at his father in disbelief, and the excitement gradually came to his heart, and the loss and panic on his face were replaced by ecstasy before they could be solidified!
