Kong Rui also told Zhuo Fan and Ren Fei the news he knew from He Feng'an, and Zhuo Fan and the others were also annoyed at once, but they couldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the world, so they had to wait until He Feng'an came over and asked him to see how they planned to remedy it. What puzzled the three of them was that He Fengan was actually full of joy when he came back, and he didn't seem to be worried that those stand-ins might show their feet.

Zhuo Fan was a little puzzled, so he asked He Fengan lightly: "What is Lord He's happy about?" ”

He Fengan said with a smile: "Of course it's a happy thing, now that Mr. Wu Bijie of the Pagoda Sect has also decided to participate in this celebration, with him, we don't have to worry about those stand-ins showing their feet." ”

Kong Rui couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "This Mr. Wu Bijie is the number two person of the Pagoda Sect, isn't he afraid of any danger?"

He Fengan said: "Although he and I are our own masters, and there are still some disagreements between the court and the pagoda faction, I still admire Mr. Wu very much." This man was indeed bold and wise, and this danger was nothing to him. ”

Zhuo Fan and Ren Fei didn't know Mr. Wu Bijie and his pagoda faction very well, and they didn't have any special feelings about Mr. Wu's participation in this celebration, but they heard Kong Rui say that this Mr. Wu was actually the second person in the pagoda faction, and he was willing to take the risk to come to participate in this celebration.

Zhuo Fan asked, "So it seems that our plan will go much smoother?"

He Fengan said: "That's true, just Mr. Wu's appearance alone is enough to make the people think it's worth doing." ”

Zhuo Fan and Ren Fei were inconvenient to ask the specific reason, and they couldn't help but admire this Mr. Wu even more. The four of them hurriedly discussed the next action steps, Kong Rui was worried that Mr. Wu would be in danger, and he also knew that there would be almost no problem in this way, and he was a little absent-minded, Zhuo Fan and Ren Fei also thought that the plan was extremely feasible, and there was no problem, so everyone quickly dispersed.

Seeing He Fengan leaving, Kong Rui said to Zhuo Fan and Ren Fei: "Two senior brothers, if the younger brother wants to leave first, he will go first." ”

Zhuo Fan is also a thoughtful person, and when he saw Kong Rui, he immediately felt a little abnormal when he heard that Mr. Wu Bijie was going to participate in the celebration, so he asked, "Does the junior brother know this Mr. Wu Bijie?"

When Kong Rui saw him asking, he didn't hide it, and said, "The younger brother has had a few encounters with this Mr. Wu. ”

Ren Fei said on the side: "Is it possible for the junior brother to introduce us to get to know him?"

Zhuo Fan also had the same idea, and he also had a secret mission with him, and he was worried that he couldn't find a way, but he didn't expect Kong Rui to have such a channel.

Kong Rui was sure that there was no problem, so he said: "Of course you can, why don't we set off now, and we might as well discuss countermeasures earlier." ”

Zhuo Fan and Ren Fei had no opinions, so the three of them hurriedly left and rushed to Xiashi Village under the leadership of Kong Rui.

It turned out that Mr. Wu had known about this celebration for a long time, but the fact that the imperial court did not invite him to participate on behalf of the pagoda faction was originally a hint to the outside world, and if he wanted to embarrass the pagoda faction, Mr. Wu of course had to try to break this embarrassment, and also establish the status of the pagoda faction in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Mr. Wu immediately made a request to the imperial court, saying that he would also participate in this celebration on behalf of the pagoda faction, of course, Mr. Wu's reason is also very sufficient: this celebration is a national celebration, even if he does not represent the pagoda faction, as an ordinary citizen of the Great Yan Country, he will definitely be eligible to participate.

Since it was a matter of request, Mr. Wu Bijie, the highest level of the Tongbao Pagoda faction, of course, this matter was handled by Emperor Chungzheng himself. Emperor Zhongzheng's original intention was to suppress the pagoda faction and did not want to invite them to send people to participate, but Mr. Wu's request was reasonable, and he could not refuse it outright.

When Emperor Zhongzheng hesitated, those who were going to attend the celebration were secretly happy in their hearts, knowing that if Mr. Wu participated in the celebration, the stand-ins they sent to participate in the celebration in private would not be easy to be discovered by the scouts, in this way, no matter whether this operation failed or not, Liao Yuxi and He Fengan had nothing to say, just not to let Emperor Zhongzheng know the truth about the fact that he sent a stand-in to participate in the celebration, and he could also hide his timidity and fear of death.

Therefore, these senior officials of the DPRK and China all stepped forward one by one to advise: "Your Majesty, this Wu Bijie's request does not seem to be unreasonable, if we don't agree, then the pagoda faction is already good at public opinion manipulation, and it will definitely encourage public opinion to talk nonsense, and it is easy to trap us and passive." ”

Another said: "Although our victory in Huxi has nothing to do with their pagoda faction, we invited Wu Bijie to also participate in our victory celebration, which also shows our generosity, which is not a bad thing." ”

Another said: "It is indeed good, and we know that there is another big action in our celebration this time, if the scheming people take advantage of the chaos to hurt Wu Bijie, it will not necessarily be a bad thing." ”

Emperor Zhongzheng couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard their persuasion, but he still sympathized with these big men and said, "But I still can't bear to put you all in danger!"

These people all knew very well that they had sent a bunch of stand-ins, and they all pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring: "We will swear allegiance to the imperial court and our emperor, and we will never give up!"

Emperor Zhongzheng was very happy to see his subordinates express such a statement, so he agreed to Wu Bijie's request by the way, and ordered the officials in charge of the celebration to invite Mr. Wu to participate in the celebration as well.
