The news from the West Garden spread fast.

In the private room on the second floor of a mid-range restaurant on Xuanwumen Street, King Jin looked at the news on the note, sat at the table, and poured a sip of wine.

Mixed tastes!

This kind of rollercoaster-like excitement makes it difficult for King Jin to accurately say what he feels in his heart.

Is it worried that the impression in the heart of the Son of Heaven has deteriorated further, or is it happy that he was not punished immediately in the end? Or, he should be angry at his eighth brother's vicious plan: to slander him.

Either way, he should probably make a change. Not everyone gave up on him. Why should he sit and wait to die?

He can do the same. For example, contact with Empress Yang and promise conditions. For example, the book of the Son of Heaven indicates filial piety and so on. Even if it's a step late, it won't help, right?

King Jin took the last sip of wine and walked out of the restaurant.

Under the weight of death, the prince, whose soul was tormented, had to cheer up and move on. The future is dark.

…

…

In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Yin Yan received a message sent to him by Song Pu and Song University scholars near noon.

Immediately, Yin Yan realized that something was wrong. As a top-level strategist, see the subtleties. Perhaps, the Chinese scholar is ready to do something. I just don't know, does this have any impact on the situation of winning the heir?

Things were beyond his expectations! The situation became chaotic.

Yin Yan frowned.

Something, he realized, was not quite right. Who is most in the best interest of the three parties in this chaotic situation?

…

…

Not to mention the reactions of King Jin and Yin Yan, in Jingyuan, because of the distance, when the news was received, it was slightly later than in the city.

After the ministers of the imperial court left the West Garden, Zeng Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, arranged for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to post the imperial list at the left gate of Chang'an and announce the results of the palace examination, so as not to wait for a long time for the scholars in the city. Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong, Ji Cheng, Shen Qian, Yuan Mei and others are all waiting here. Subsequently, at the left gate of Chang'an, there were many people, and all kinds of celebrations and laughter continued.

At this time, the news from Xiyuan was quickly sent to Jingyuan in the east of the outer city. From Chaoyangmen, it is about ten miles to Jingyuan.

In Han Jin's small courtyard, the scenery of spring and March is very beautiful: lakes and mountains, pavilions. There are also beautiful women playing, and the wine is pleasant.

However, the atmosphere is quite awkward!

Not long ago, Han Xiucai promised in front of the King of Chu that His Royal Highness would get what he wanted today. At the very least, turn your advantage into a win. But, what about now? Hua Mo's voice eased, although the Son of Heaven was angry, he just asked Jinyiwei to investigate.

This is far below everyone's expectations!

Ning Han, the king of Chu, sat behind the delicate long case. On the long table, there are two dishes and a pot of wine. and a fruit bowl. King Chu's expression was slightly heavy at this time, and he tried his best to restrain his emotions and not show his disappointment. However, how can a 23-year-old young man not show his emotions?

Li Kuan and Peng Wei could see the disappointment in the heart of the King of Chu, and at the same time there was a vague dissatisfaction.

However, at this moment, the two did not have the idea of replacing Han Jin's position by the side of the King of Chu. A few days ago, Han Xiucai's performance made them realize the gap. The opponent faced by the King of Chu had a very high IQ.

Of course, this kind of emotion does not prevent the two from watching Han Jin's "jokes". Ha ha! The cowhide is blown up!

Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan bowed their heads slightly. It's embarrassing. How happy I laughed just now, how embarrassing I am now.

Han Jin took a deep breath, suppressed his negative emotions, and said reluctantly, "Your Highness, don't worry. King Jin has become very bad in the impression of the Son of Heaven, this is His Highness's opportunity. Let me think about it for a few more days and plan for Your Highness. ”

King Chu squeezed out a few smiles and said, "There is Mr. Lao Han." "Drink a glass of wine together and leave alone. Han Xiucai's small courtyard is on the east side of Beihu. From east to west, the king of Chu took a boat back to the study on the west side of Beihu. The boat drove briskly on the lake, and the king of Chu said to the big eunuch He beside him: "Han Xiucai, no! ”

Eunuch He looked shocked and hurriedly lowered his head. This..., how disappointed Your Highness is to say such a thing.

After the king of Chu left, Li Kuan and Peng Wei immediately took their leave.

Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan looked at Han Jin, who was sitting still, "Brother Han..., now, what should I do?" By this time, the singers had already retreated.

Han Jin let out a long sigh, "Let me think about it." "Take a sip of wine. Choked and coughed violently, a large amount of wine on his fine white scribe's shirt. Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan hurriedly got up, preparing to go over to give Han Jin a good breath.

"Ahem... cough..."Han Jin gasped, waved his hand, and said to the second general, "No need to come here." I'm fine. It's okay...", his voice was a little low, and his expression was depressed. His appearance made Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan feel very uncomfortable.

Han Jin leaned slightly on the collapsed chair.

He did a lot of calculations, but there were still all kinds of omissions! This time, there were a lot of mistakes.

First, Empress Yang did not immediately agree to help the King of Chu. Obviously, Yin Yan did the work. The proposal was put on hold.

Second, he didn't expect that Hua Mo, who had always been neutral, would defend King Jin. This political force is called the royalists. As soon as the Son of Yongzhi dies, how many people's official hats will be gone? When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely be replaced.

He ignored the thoughts of these people. Many things, piercing the window paper, will find it very simple. However, at that time, it was always difficult to think of beforehand.

If...

A little regret rose in Han Jin's heart. Exhale a breath, there are no ifs in the world! Pressure, on the shoulders, like a mountain. The road of the emperor is not easy to walk!

…

…

Jiafu is in the middle of Xicheng, only seven or eight miles away from Xiyuan. Within an hour's walk. This distance has been received very early.

This time, Jia Huan did not go to King Wu's mansion to "rub the news". He had a good personal relationship with King Wu. But in the game of seizing the heir, King Wu and his ideas may not be the same. At this critical time, he used the relationship between Jiafu and Xiyuan.

Jia Mansion, North Park. The quiet courtyard in the west: In the Xiyun Hall, Jia Huan, Pang Ze, Liu Guoshan, and Zhang Sishui drank tea and ate pastries together. The latest news has just arrived, which has made the atmosphere in the hall very relaxed.

Xiyun Hall was specially opened up by Jia Huan and used as the core meeting hall for this competition. A large number of documents are here. If someone can come in, the planning and ideas of Jia Huan and Wendao Academy's system will all be exposed.

Of course, it's very well guarded. Zhang Sishui personally led someone to take care of it.

Pang Ze was wearing a gray straight jacket, a big nose, and a short beard, which made his appearance look ugly, and said with emotion: "Presumably, Luo Junzi, Qiao Houdao, Xiao Jicheng, they already know the final results of the palace examination." Luo Junzi wants to win the champion, but it is unlikely to happen. ”

The goal of the first stage is achieved, and the pressure in the heart is released. He remembered the imperial examination that gave him a headache and a sad heart.

Liu Guoshan held the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Shiyuan has the leisure to care about this? I thought, what is the expression of Han Xiucai in Jingyuan now? Hey. "He really gave Han Xiucai shamelessness! Although Zhang Sishui beat Han Jin that day, it was difficult to eliminate the depression in his heart. Jia Huan's second-stage goal is to kill Han Xiucai, the core staff of the King of Chu.

Pang Ze sneered disapprenousively: "What expression can he have?" Even if the cowhide is blown out, with his brazenness, will he feel embarrassed? I think the key is, what does the King of Chu think about him! ”

A smile appeared on Jia Huan's face, and he said steadily: "Shiyuan, isn't this exactly the effect we want?" "If the King of Chu trusts Han Jin very much, then how can he kill him? Stand up, walk to the window, and look out at the beautiful spring scenery. It's almost noon and the sun is soft. In the distance, there was a peaceful atmosphere in Jia's mansion. The sound of firecrackers can be faintly heard.

It seems that today is the day of the big face treasure and Xue Baoqinna's expedition. He didn't remember much. These things were all arranged by Sister Bao. His recent attention has been on politics.

"Shiyuan, Guoshan, Sishui, I'm going to visit Zhou Shenxing tonight." Jia Huan said.

It's time to start the second phase of your journey.

Their plan, the first stage, was to muddy the waters. Princess Yongchang, as a pawn, was detonated. And their plan was also perfected by Princess Yongchang.

Pang Ze nodded slightly, "Hmm." We expected someone to surface, but unexpectedly, it was the royalists who came up first. ”

What do you do when your opponent has no flaws? The king of Chu was very slippery. Then, it is necessary to muddy the water, throw stones to ask for directions, and scare the snakes. Sure enough, the King of Chu department revealed a loophole: the King of Chu may lose patience with Han Xiucai.

Liu Guoshan was very confident in Jia Huan, and said with a smile: "Ziyu, use villains to deal with villains." I don't think Han Xiu can think of it. ”

Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "Master Hua wants to open a peerless!" I'm going to find my way. ”

Han Jin's personality is certainly contemptible, which makes him angry and unhappy. However, he can still see the ability to do things. Strategically defying the enemy and tactically valuing the enemy. So, how to deal with Han Xiucai?

In game terms, in frontal one-on-one operation, Han Xiucai is inferior to him, but he is very powerful, but playing multiple lines, Han Jin is not good. will be beaten by him with a rhythm.

The rise of the royalists resulted in even more chaos in the court. I don't know what kind of impact it will have on the succession.

And this matter, and more importantly, the identity of the person who plays chess changes. When it comes to the bright side, it is the princes of the temple who really hold the power. The main contradiction in the court has actually changed from seizing the heir to the Jade Guanyin case!

Is there a deep sense of powerlessness in this situation?

However, he is different from Yin Yan and Han Jin. He has the support of the political father, the mountain chief, the king of Beijing and others. In fact, to some extent, his "advantage" is magnified! He still has the qualifications to fall into the ranks.

Think about it, are Yin Yan and Song Pu and Song University scholars the same heart? Are the benefits the same as those of Hua University Scholars? If Yin Yan can't move these two people, the resources he can mobilize will be very limited.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the little guy came to report: "Third master, Yongchang is coming to you." Said I must see you. ”
