In the Xuande Hall of Dayu Palace, Haoxing Mingrui finished his salute and sat down on the brocade pier given by the emperor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You're here to see me at this time, but the case has an eyebrow?" Haoxing Xiaoqi asked with a smile.

Haoxing Mingrui's face immediately showed a look of invitation, and he nodded with a smile: "Brother Hui, the younger brother is indeed quite gained." ”

"Oh? ”

"The younger brother has been confirmed by Yan Yuguang that King Ji has indeed won over some courtiers and generals in the army through him, and he is preparing to force the palace to seize the throne in the near future. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi's face suddenly became gloomy, "Have you gotten the list of those courtiers and generals?"

Haoxing Mingrui shook his head and hurriedly explained: "Although Yan Yuguang is willing to tell the truth, he still doesn't trust his younger brother very much, so he put forward the condition, after Yan Xingbao returns home safely, he will hand over the list to me." ”

"Hmph, he's wishful thinking!" Haoxing Xiaoqi's face became even more displeased.

However, how could the younger brother let him ask for a sky-high price, and finally forced him to say a few names. ”

When Haoxing Xiaoqi heard this, he couldn't help but look at it, and nodded approvingly, "Okay!

"This--, Yan Yuguang said that most of them are people with lower ranks, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stand above the court, but he said the name of an important minister in the court, and when the minister heard it, he was really surprised and shocked, so he hurried to come to the emperor's brother. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi listened, but he didn't show how anxious to know, as if he already knew it in his heart, he asked indifferently: "I heard that you just went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, could it be that Leng Yiqing is the important minister of the court that you want to report to me?"

Haoxing Mingrui was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Brother Huang, I'm afraid that he has misunderstood! The person that Brother Chen heard about was not Zuo Xiang, but the privy envoy Tang Huan!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Tang Huan, how could it be him?!"

"Yes, although the younger brother has been involved in politics for a short time, he still knows a little about this Lord Tang, and I really don't believe that he will have such a disobedient heart. However, Yan Yuguang saw that his brother didn't seem to believe it, so he specially told me how he recruited Tang Huan. After listening to the younger brother, Fang Wu's words of 'knowing the person, knowing the face, but not the heart' are really true! Among the details, it is inconvenient for the younger brother to say in order to pollute the ears of the imperial brother, but there is one thing that needs to be shown to the imperial brother, and that is the condition that Tang Huan proposed to King Ji to surrender to the king -- he wants to become the lord of the new dynasty!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

Haoxing Mingrui continued: "Of course, the younger brother also suspected that these were all one-sided words that were strict and wide, and they might not be credible, so he thought of an idea to test him. So the younger brother asked him, although Tang Huan coveted the position of prime minister, but this talent is not of great use, compared with Leng Yiqing, it can be said that it is far away, why did King Ji abandon good materials and choose rotten wood? Yan Yuguang replied, King Ji is indeed willing to be Leng Yiqing, but unfortunately after several invitations, he was politely rejected by this Zuo Xiang, and every time he gave the same answer - after King Ji officially ascended the throne, he Leng Yiqing should be as loyal to the new king as he is now. ”

Hearing these words, even Haoxing Xiaoqi, who had always been suspicious and suspicious, couldn't help but show a smile, and was so moved by the cold clothes that he was speechless for a while. It was just because this was too much of a surprise to him, but the more it was, the stronger the surprise became.

Haoxing Mingrui saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show the slightest color, but continued to say skillfully: "After listening to Yan Yuguang's words, my brother is indeed extremely respectful of Zuo Xiang in his heart. But after coming out of the Yan Mansion, the younger brother still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Because listening to what Yan Yuguang said, this Zuo Xiangda should have heard about King Ji's conspirators, but he did not report it to the emperor, what his intentions are, it is really worth investigating. Moreover, the left phase is highly powerful, and his intention is really related to the stability of the court, which is not child's play.

In any case, the younger brother of the courtier could not make a conclusion based on the words of Yan Yuguang alone, and if he misled the imperial brother because of this, wouldn't the younger brother be guilty of a great crime! Therefore, the younger brother decided to go to the prime minister's mansion in person, and gave it a try under the cold clothes and defenselessness. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but nod his head again and again, feeling that this Li Jin was indeed a rare talent, clever and loyal, and he was too knowledgeable!

When the younger brother mentioned Yan Xingbao's case, Zuo Xiang behaved very coldly, and it didn't look like he had anything to do with the Yan family. So the younger brother hinted that he wanted to talk to him secretly, and then he introduced the younger brother into the study to talk.

The courtier's brother deliberately leaked part of the conversation with Yan Yuguang to him, thinking that if he had a ghost in his heart, he would pretend not to know anything about it, and even denounce King Ji's crime of rebellion to show his innocence. Who knows, after listening to the words of his younger brother, Zuo Xiang did not flatly deny that he knew, and did not make any justification, but just sighed and said, "King Ji really shouldn't have misdeeds, but tracing back to the source, it is really caused by the emperor's uncertainty!"

Hearing this, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but snort, "Is that really what Leng Yiqing said?

Haoxing Mingrui glanced at the emperor's face carefully, and his voice couldn't help lowering a little, and said, "Zuo Xiang...... That's exactly what it says. He also said that because the emperor was uncertain, his subordinates were at a loss, so they also followed the uncertainty one by one, and then they were tempted by interests, and they would inevitably make mistakes and hate them for life. ”

"Can he tell the root cause of this 'uncertain mind'?" Haoxing Xiaoqi asked quietly.

He said that the emperor is uncertain, and he must be worried about the people he trusts for the sake of the country. And the ministers' uncertainties are all caused by the unclear storage position. ”

"And what does he think about it?"

"Zuo Xiang believes that the top priority is not to blame King Ji, but to establish a prince!"

"Lichu?" Haoxing Xiaoqi squinted his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Leng Yiqing is the left minister, and he does have some insight!"

At this time, Haoxing Mingrui got up and took out the piece of music from his sleeve and presented it to him with both hands, and said respectfully: "Regarding the matter of the prince, the left minister specially wrote a piece of music, and the minister's brother presented it to the king. ”

Gonggong Zheng, who had been standing beside the emperor, hurriedly stepped forward to take the piece and turned around to present it to the emperor.

Haoxing Xiaoqi didn't immediately flip through the transcript, but put it in front of the desk, and after motioning for Haoxing Mingrui to sit down, he asked a little casually: "Leng Yiqing has mentioned to you, does he have a suitable candidate for the prince in his mind?"

Haoxing Mingrui shook his head and said: "Regarding this point, the younger brother did ask him, and he replied that it was his duty as a courtier to propose the establishment of a prince, but the position of the prince can only be dictated by Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, and you must not say much as a courtier, so that you have exceeded your duty." ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile slightly, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that I still don't know much about this left minister, and I actually regard his pedantic thoughts as a city in my chest. Well, since he knows that he must keep his duty as a courtier, then I must also let him see the grace of being a king. Tomorrow I will decree that from now on, the post of privy envoy will be taken over by the left minister. ”

Haoxing Mingrui blinked his eyes a few times in surprise, and said loudly: "Then Lord Tang, how is the imperial brother going to settle him?"

"Placement?" Haoxing Xiaoqi sneered, "Well, his age is not too young, and he really needs to be placed for him, so I will reward him with the false title of prince and concubine, and go home to live and retire!"

"It's just...... It's just that this Lord Tang may not have done anything that is ungraceful...... "Haoxing Mingrui seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and wanted to say two good words for this innocent Old Master Tang.

I remember that you once mentioned to me that Tang Huan once said that the duties of privy envoy and prime minister are mostly confused and unclear, which is not conducive to wartime command, and then he made a fuss about buying a garden in cold clothes and slandered him, which shows that he has long been willing to replace cold clothes and clear colors, but he has never found the opportunity. Thinking about it like this, it wouldn't be difficult for him to turn to King Ji!"

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "The imperial brother is really Shengming! The younger brother is confused and forgetful, if it weren't for the imperial brother to mention it, I really don't remember the presumptuous idle words that Tang Huan once said to me." ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi smiled and said, "You don't have to be too humble. You have done a very good job in this matter! After you get that list from the Strict Domain, I will reward you very much!"

Haoxing Mingrui hurriedly stood up from his seat, and said with a deep salute: "Brother Chen, thank you for your kindness!

Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing, and said warmly: "You have been running around for a day, it is really hard, go back to the house to rest early!"

"Thank you Brother Huang, my brother is leaving!"

With a subtle smile on his lips, Haoxing Mingrui bowed down and withdrew from the Hall of Elective Virtue.
