Huan Yanfan saw Jing Hui's face full of anger and couldn't help but frown. He looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said in displeasure, "Zhong Ye, did you come in such a rage just for this matter?"
Jing Hui saw that he had avoided his question and couldn't help but say angrily, "So it really was you? Shi Ze, you're muddle-headed! You're muddle-headed! Are you afraid that there aren't enough disturbances in court? Roping in Wu Sansi was the Emperor's idea, but it was just the fake Empress Wei's idea. Do you think the Emperor will believe those preposterous words? "
Huan Yanfan smiled and said, "I naturally know that the Emperor won't believe it. But … even you think that I want to use this rumor to get rid of Wu Sansi. Very good, very good! Haha, if even you can't see my true intentions, then the Emperor naturally won't. "
Jing Hui froze and relaxed his tone. He asked in bewilderment, "Could it be … you have other plans?"
Huan Yanfan nodded and said, "Correct, I do have other plans. Why are we standing here and having a long talk? Come, come, come, this way. Let's talk in the study. "
Huan Yanfan led Jing Hui into the study. The two had just sat down when Jing Hui impatiently asked, "Shi Ze, speak, just what are your plans?"
Huan Yanfan said, "Zhong Ye, although the Emperor doesn't believe that Wu Sansi and Empress Wei have an affair, once this matter gets out, the Emperor will certainly be furious, right?"
Jing Hui nodded. "Of course, the Imperial Court is about to stir up another storm of blood."
Huan Yanfan chuckled, his expression extremely pleased.
Jing Hui couldn't restrain himself. "Shi Ze, you still haven't told me your plans."
Huan Yanfan's expression turned serious. "Tong Jiao died for the country. The Emperor listened to slander and wanted to use this to move against the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping. But because the officials reacted too fiercely, the Emperor had to settle for the next best thing. The five of us were stripped of our titles and banished to other places. The Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping barely managed to escape. Think, now that something has happened, who will the Emperor suspect first? "
Jing Hui froze and slowly sank into thought.
Huan Yanfan said, "We've already been demoted and are about to leave the capital. How could we have caused this storm? The greatest suspects should be the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping. I want to use this matter to force them to stand with us! "
Jing Hui's body trembled as he hesitantly said, "The will of the heavens is hard to fathom. Will the Emperor definitely suspect the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping? Wouldn't it be reasonable for us to take revenge out of anger? Besides, do you have the confidence to pull over the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping? If they are willing to stand up for you, then … what are you going to do? "
Huan Yanfan shook a finger contentedly and said, "Your first question isn't a question at all. It wasn't that the emperor wouldn't suspect the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping, but that pushing the blame onto them was in the best interest of the emperor, the Prince of Xiang, and Empress Wei, so they would definitely do this!
Of course, I will not discuss this matter with the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping in advance, but once the Emperor becomes suspicious of them, the Emperor will press forward step by step, and I will not be afraid that they will not seek to protect themselves. At that time, as long as we 'generously extend a helping hand', not only will they be of use to us, they will also shed tears of gratitude. "
Jing Hui's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Huan Yanfan sighed and said, "What happens after that is not something we can decide alone. We still need the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping to agree. Either … we ask the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne, or … we just let the Prince of Xiang proclaim himself emperor. The current emperor must be the emperor emeritus, and he can only be the emperor emeritus!"
Huan Yanfan suddenly stood up and shouted, "I want to borrow Tong Jiao's blood, borrow the Emperor's repeated treacherous attacks to incite all of Prince Liang's enemies to unite against a common enemy. Everyone will join hands and fight another battle! With the strength of us, the Prince of Xiang, and Princess Taiping, we might be able to reenact the story of the divine dragon! "
Jing Hui stared in shock at Huan Yanfan like he was looking at a stranger.
Huan Yanfan looked at him fervently and said, "Zhong Ye, we are about to leave the capital. The five of us will be sent to five different places. When the time comes, we will be under the surveillance of the Imperial Court, and it will be difficult for us to communicate with each other. We cannot wait any longer, or we will never have another chance. "
Jing Hui powerlessly said, "Scholar, you are playing with fire, you are taking risks …"
Huan Yanfan pointed at him and began to laugh. "Oh you, oh you! Riches and honor have always been sought in danger! Relax. Last time, we created momentum and used it, and it was a great success! This time, we will not fail either! Hahaha … "Huan Yanfan laughed, laughing like a gambler who had lost all his capital.
… …
In the emperor's bedroom, Empress Wei sat hatefully, her face still wet from her tears. Wu Sansi sat awkwardly next to her and lowered his head without saying a word. Li Xian's anger had not yet subsided. He hurriedly walked around the hall, muttering to himself, "Who is it? Just who is it? "
Empress Wei couldn't help but ask, "Who else? The Imperial Court is dissatisfied with you and wants to push this servant and Prince Liang to the brink of death. Who else but that good brother of yours and your good sister could it be? "
"The Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping?" Li Xian shook his head. "Impossible. This matter has completely thrown away the dignity of the Imperial Household. As members of the Imperial Household, do they look good?"
Empress Wei angrily retorted, "This is a matter of life and death, involving the throne. Who cares about face?"
Wu Sansi loathed the person who had framed him, but when he carefully thought about it, he also shook his head. "The Prince of Xiang and Taiping had just escaped calamity because of Wang Tongjiao's case, so why would they take the initiative to stir up trouble? This old subject also feels … that it's not very likely. "
Empress Wei said, "If not them, who else could it be? Who else in the court is dissatisfied with us? "
Wu Sansi creased his brow in thought for a long time, unable to make up his mind.
Li Xian turned around and said to Wu Sansi, "King Liang, I leave this matter to you. You and Imperial Censor Li Chengjia will work together to handle this case. They've put up so many posters on Vermilion Bird Avenue, so there's no way they won't have any clues. Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this! "
Wu Sansi hurriedly rose from his seat and cupped his hands. "This old subject obeys the imperial decree."
… …
Tinkling, tinkling …
The melody of the zither came to an end. Lu Bin's ten fingers pressed down on the zither strings, stopping the sound. With a smile, he said, "Interesting, interesting! This matter is getting more and more interesting. "
He was surrounded by a cluster of flowers, their fragrance assailing the nostrils. Several of his subordinates were kneeling around the mat.
Lu Bin said, "After this calamity, the Prince of Xiang and Taiping will definitely be like frightened birds."
One of his subordinates said, "Young Master speaks correctly. This subordinate has discovered that the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping are frequently in secret contact. They seem to be discussing countermeasures."
Another subordinate said, "Zheng Zhi has sent word that Wu Sansi has received Empress Wei's orders to push this matter onto the Prince of Xiang and Taiping."
Lu Bin closed his eyes in thought for a few moments, then suddenly opened them. "No! At present, the Prince of Xiang and Princess Taiping still have considerable influence. If they are driven to desperation, even if they can't win, they will still cause both sides to suffer. If they win, we won't have placed our bets on them. If that happens, our plans will be for naught. We cannot be too hasty right now. "
Lu Bin stood up and slowly paced around the mat with his bare feet. He sternly said, "Tell Cui Shi and Zheng Zhi that they must persuade Wu Sansi. They cannot rashly break off relations with the Prince of Xiang and Taiping. The rhythm of the change must be in my hands! "
"Yes!"
One of the subordinates respectfully replied and hurriedly left.
Lu Bin turned his head to another person and said, "Tell Li Chengkuang to intensify his training of the Crown Prince!"
… …
"I won't rebel, I can't rebel!"
Li Dan's voice was suffused with indescribable sorrow. He sorrowfully gazed at Princess Taiping and mournfully said, "Lingyue, I'm tired, tired. For the sake of seizing the throne, our birth mother was willing to kill her children and grandchildren without the slightest pity. Now, Qilang inexplicably suspects me and wants to kill me again and again to protect his throne. Is this throne really so important? If he wants to kill me, then let him kill me. "
Li Dan bitterly smiled and said, "What joy is there in living?"
Princess Taiping saw that Eighth Brother was actually beginning to hate the world and couldn't help but anxiously say, "Eighth Brother, you can let go, but do you have the heart to let your children die as well? Wu Sansi and the Empress won't kill you. If they kill you, do you think they will let your children go? "
Li Dan's body trembled. Princess Taiping continued, "I'm not asking you to rebel. I'm asking you to use your influence in the Southern Office to get in touch with those generals. They are loyal to you and willing to die for you. But if you don't accept them and don't tell them what you think, what can they do for you?"
Li Dan slowly turned around with a hesitant expression. Princess Taiping followed him and said, "As long as you do something, as long as the generals of the Southern Office have any contact with you, the Emperor will have to carefully consider if he wants to kill you!"
Li Dan bitterly said, "But … won't that make Qilang even more suspicious of me?"
Princess Taiping angrily said, "Now he won't suspect us? He has already put a knife to our necks. We can't even pass the current hurdle. What future do you want? "
Li Dan struggled in his heart. After a long while, he said, "Huan Yanfan sent someone to hint to me that he is willing to help us kill Wu Sansi and Empress Wei."
Princess Taiping's eyes brightened and asked hurriedly, "What did you say?"
Li Dan said, "I told him that Li Dan will never betray my brother!"
Princess Taiping's eyes darkened and said, "If the Emperor doesn't fall, how can King Liang and Empress Wei fall? Elder brother, are you clearly rejecting him? "
Li Dan said, "Yes! So … I promise you that I can contact the Southern Office, but I only want to protect myself. I will never rebel against Qilang! "
Princess Taiping stared at him for a long time and nodded deeply. She said, "Elder brother, please believe me. Lingyue is the same as you. She only wants to protect herself!"
…
Yang Fan stood in the small hall of the garden and looked at the flowers with a smile. A Nu's son, Yang Ji, and Wan 'er's daughter, Dai' er, were running crazily among the flowers. Gu Zhuting's precious son was the youngest, so he naturally became a little follower. He chased after his elder brother and sister with a cackle.
As for Yang Sirong and Yang Nianzu, they no longer liked this kind of game. Yang Sirong had grown up. Even though she had learned a lot of martial arts from her parents, she was more and more fond of peace and quiet. She had the air of a lady from a noble family. As for Yang Nianzu …
Thinking of his son, Yang Fan frowned. He really didn't want to mention that bastard of a son.
He was such a cute kid when he was young. Why did he make so many people gnash their teeth when he grew up? He didn't make much progress in his studies, but he liked to run around all day. At such a young age, he dared to follow the people of Shun Men to take a boat to transport goods. He said that he was going for an adventure. Fortunately, he was caught in front of Sanmen Gorge.
When he was bored, he liked to go to his mother's shop and pretend to be a waiter. Once, he even took the urinal of the old man who was the night watchman and sold it at a high price as a Han Dynasty antique. When the shopkeeper realized what was going on, he came over to make a fuss, almost smashing the Yang family's signboard. When it came to martial arts, he was very good at it. But when it came to reading … Alas! This kid couldn't be counted on to pass the imperial examination.
Xiao Man and A Nu strolled slowly by the pond with their big bellies protruding. Gu Zhuting, who was wearing a light silk robe and practicing Jujitsu by the pond, bent over and stood up. She greeted them with a sweet smile. The three of them stood there, talking and laughing, and walked to the bamboo forest path by the side.
Although two of them were pregnant, they still looked so beautiful. It seemed that time didn't leave any trace on them. If there was, it was like a jar of old wine. After the precipitation of time, it became more mellow, more charming, and more charming.
Yang Fan smiled knowingly. Wan 'er followed Yang Fan's gaze and couldn't help but show envy in her eyes.
That year in Sanyang Palace, she accidentally fell into the trap and took the risk to give birth to a daughter for Yang Fan. Since then, she had been very careful when she was with Yang Fan to avoid another accident. But after all, this was a helpless move. In fact, she liked children very much. Seeing that Xiao Man and A Nu were pregnant again, Wan'er could only watch. She really wanted to have a few more children, and it would be best if they were all boys, but …
Yang Fan turned around and saw that Wan 'er's light brows were furrowed with deep resentment. He immediately knew that she was sad about the children again.
Yang Fan turned around and gently held her waist. He said in a gentle voice, "Although the conflict between the Obvious and Hidden Sects didn't result in a great disaster, the relationship between the two sides is getting colder. Now that the two sects are going their own way, it not only brings many inconveniences, but it also harms both sides.
On one hand, I have to suppress the unstable elements within the Obvious Sect, and on the other hand, I have to resist the Hidden Sect. At the same time, I have to observe the situation in court and find a way out. I am really exhausted. I want … to find a chance to leave the court. After I finish this matter, I can go boating with you on the West Lake and be the carefree Fan Li and Shi Yiguang. At that time, you can give birth to as many as you want. "
Wan 'er said happily, "Really? Husband, don't try to fool me. "
Yang Fan said, "Of course it is true. Why do you think I want you to leak information to Gao Li Shi?"
Wan 'er happily hugged Yang Fan tightly. A moment later, she suddenly spat at him and said, "Your comparison is not appropriate. Xi Shi first served the King of Yue and then followed Fan Li. She has only had you, General Yang, as a man."
Yang Fan blinked his eyes and said, "Who said that only the champion general is a man? Am I, the Sect Master of the Obvious Sect, not a man? "
Wan 'er first stilled and then immediately felt that this kind of role-playing game was very interesting. She looked at Yang Fan seductively and said, "Really? Then General Yang and Sect Master Yang, you two bad people, how do you plan on bullying me?"
Yang Fan looked at her seductive appearance and unconsciously said, "You aren't thinking of having another child right now, are you?"
Wan 'er said intimately, "The matter of the Li Family can be put aside for now, and the matter of having a child can also be put aside. Right now … I just want you to love me."
Yang Fan looked around to make sure no one was around. He picked up Wan 'er and walked towards her bedroom.
