The news from Xiyuan spread rapidly.

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

The taste is mixed!

The lights are dark and the flowers are bright again. This kind of stimulation like a roller coaster makes it difficult for King Jin to accurately describe his feelings.

Are you worried that the impression in the emperor's heart will deteriorate further, or are you happy that you are not punished immediately in the end? Or, you should be angry with his eighth brother's vicious plan: he actually slandered him.

But no matter what, he might have made a little change. Not everyone gave up on him. Why should he sit and wait for death?

He can follow the example. For example, contact with Queen Yang, promise conditions, such as writing to the emperor, expressing filial piety, etc. Even if he steps later, it will not be useless, right?

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

Under the pressure of death, the prince, who was tortured in his heart, had to cheer up and continue moving forward. His future was dark and dull.

…

…

In the Ministry of Rites, Yin Yan received a message from the Grand Secretary of Song Pu and Song who sent someone to him at noon.

Immediately, Yin Yan realized something was wrong. As a top strategist, he knew the details. Perhaps, Grand Secretary Hua was going to do something. But he didn't know if this had any impact on the battle for the throne?

Things were beyond his expectations! The situation became chaotic.

Yin Yan frowned.

He realized that it was a little bit unfavorable. Which of the three parties is most beneficial to this chaotic situation?

…

…

Not mentioning the reactions of King Jin and Yin Yan, the Jingyuan was slightly later than in the city because of the distance.

After the court ministers left the West Garden, Zeng Jin, the Minister of Rites, arranged for officials from the Ministry of Rites to post the imperial list at the left gate of Chang'an and announced the results of the palace examination so that the scholars in the city would not wait for a long time. Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong, Ji Cheng, Shen Qian, Yuan Mei and others were waiting here. Then, at the left gate of Chang'an, there were crowds of people, various celebrations and laughter.

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

In Han Jin's courtyard, the scenery of March is very beautiful: the lake and mountains are beautiful, the terraces and pavilions are more beautiful, and the wine is pleasant.

However, the atmosphere was quite awkward!

Not long ago, Han Xiucai promised in front of the King of Chu that he would definitely ask His Highness to get what he wants today. At least, he would also turn the advantage into victory. But now? Hua Mo said eased. Although the emperor was angry, he just asked the Jinyiwei to investigate.

This is far lower than everyone's psychological expectations!

King Ning Han of Chu sat behind the exquisite long desk. On the long desk, there were two plates of side dishes, a pot of fine wine, and a fruit plate. The King of Chu looked slightly heavy at this time, trying hard to restrain his emotions and not reveal his disappointment. However, how can a 23-year-old young man not reveal his emotions?

Both Hanlin Li Kuan and Peng Liang could see that the King of Chu was disappointed and vaguely dissatisfied.

However, at this moment, the two did not think of replacing Han Jin's position with the King of Chu. A few days ago, Han Xiucai's performance made them realize the gap. The opponents facing the King of Chu had a high IQ.

Of course, this emotion does not prevent the two from watching Han Jin's "joke". Haha! The cowhide is broken!

Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan bowed their heads slightly. They were very embarrassed. They laughed so happily just now, but now they are so embarrassed.

Han Jin took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions, and said reluctantly: "Your Highness, don't worry. The King of Jin has become very bad in the emperor's impression. This is your highness's opportunity. Let me think about it for a few more days and plan for your Highness."

The King of Chu squeezed out a few smiles and said, "Mr. Han is here." Drink a glass of wine together and left alone. Han Xiucai's courtyard is on the east side of Beihu Lake. The King of Chu took a boat back to the study on the west side of Beihu Lake. The boat was sailing lightly on the lake. The King of Chu said to the eunuch He beside him, "Han Xiucai, no!"

Eunuch He looked shocked and quickly lowered his head. This... His Highness was so disappointed that he said such words.

After the King of Chu left, Li Kuan and Peng Jiao immediately said goodbye.

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

Han Jin sighed long, "I'll think about it." He took a sip of wine. He choked and coughed violently. A large amount of wine was stuck on his exquisite white scholar's shirt. Luo Ziche, Tong Zhengyan and the others quickly stood up and prepared to go over to make Han Jinshun angry.

"Cough...cough..." Han Jin gasped, waved his hand, and said to the two generals of Hum and Ha: "Don't come over. I'm fine. It's okay..." His voice was a little low and he looked depressed. His appearance made Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan feel uncomfortable.

Han Jin leaned slightly on the collapsed chair.

He made great calculations, but there were still various omissions! This time, there were many mistakes.

First, Empress Yang did not immediately agree to help the King of Chu. Obviously, Yin Yan did the work and put aside the proposal.

Second, he did not expect that Hua Mo, who had always been neutral, would defend the King of Jin. This political force was called the royal party. When Emperor Yongzhi died, how many people would lose their official hats? The new emperor ascended the throne and would definitely have to replace him.

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

if…,

Han Jin felt a little regretful in his heart. He let out a sigh of relief, and there was no if in the world! The pressure was on his shoulders, like a mountain. The road to the imperial teacher is not easy to walk!

…

…

The Jia Mansion is in the west city, only seven or eight miles away from the Xiyuan. It is within an hour's walk. I received the message very early at this distance.

This time, Jia Huan did not go to the King of Wu's Mansion to "get news". He had a good personal relationship with the King of Wu. However, in the battle for the throne, the King of Wu may not be consistent with his ideas. At this critical moment, he used the relationship between the Jia Mansion in the Western Garden.

Jia Mansion, North Garden. The quiet courtyard to the west: Xiyun Hall, Jia Huan, Pang Ze, Liu Guoshan, and Zhang Sishui are tasting tea and eating pastries together. The latest news just came, making the atmosphere in the hall feel relaxed.

Xiyuntang was specially opened by Jia Huan to serve as the core conference hall for this contest. A large number of documents are here. If someone can come in, the planning and ideas of Jia Huan and Wendao Academy system will be exposed.

Of course, the protection here is very tight. Zhang Sishui personally took care of it.

Pang Ze was wearing a gray straight body, a big nose and a short beard, which made his appearance look ugly. He said with emotion: "I believe that Luo Junzi, Qiao Houdao, Xiao Jicheng and others already know the final results of the palace examination. It is unlikely that Luo Junzi would win the top scorer."

The goal of the first phase was achieved and the pressure in his heart was released. He remembered the imperial examination that caused him a headache and sadness.

Liu Guoshan held a tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Shiyuan has free time to care about this? I wonder, what is the expression of Han Xiucai in Jingyuan now? Hey." He was so shameless that he was so angry about Han Xiucai! Although Zhang Sishui and the others beat Han Jin that day, this could not relieve the depression. Jia Huan's second phase goal was to kill Han Xiucai, the core aide of the King of Chu.

Pang Ze sneered disapprovingly: "What expression can he have? Even if he is bragging about his shamelessness, would he feel embarrassed with his shamelessness? I think, the key is, what does the King of Chu think of him!"

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

It seems that today is the day for Big Face Bao and Xue Baoqin to be the leader. He can't remember it very clearly. These things are arranged by Sister Bao. His attention has been on politics recently.

"Shiyuan, Guoshan, Sishui, I will visit Zhou Shenxing tonight." Jia Huan said.

It's time to embark on the second phase of the journey.

Their plan, the first stage, was to muddle the water. Princess Yongchang was detonated as a chess piece. And their plan was also improved by Princess Yongchang.

Pang Ze nodded gently, "Well. We expected someone to surface, but unexpectedly, the royalist party first floated up."

When the opponent has no flaws, what should we do? The King of Chu is very slippery. Then, we must muddle the water, throw stones and ask for directions, and alert the snake. As expected, the King of Chu exposed a loophole: the King of Chu may lose patience with Han Xiucai.

Liu Guoshan was very confident in Jia Huan and smiled and said, "Ziyu, use villains to deal with villains. I guess Han Xiucai would not have thought of it."

Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Hua wants to be unparalleled! I'll go explore the way."

Although Han Jin's character is despised, angered and unhappy, he can still see his ability to do things. He despises the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically. So, how to deal with Han Xiucai?

In game terms, Han Xiucai is better than him in front of one-on-one operation, but he is very capable, but he can't play multiple lines. Han Jin will not do it. He will beat him with a rhythm.

The royalist party surfaced, and the result was that the court situation became even more chaotic. I don’t know what impact it would have on the battle for the throne.

What’s more important about this matter is that the identity of the person who plays chess changes. When it comes to the open, the people who really hold power are the officials in the temple. The main contradiction in the court actually turns from the battle for the throne to the Yu Guanyin case!

Does this situation have a deep sense of powerlessness?

However, he is different from Yin Yan and Han Jin. He has the support of Zheng Dad, Shan Chang, Bei Jing Wang and others. This actually magnifies his "advantage" to some extent! He is still qualified to make moves.

Just imagine, are Yin Yan and Song Pu and Grand Secretary Song the same mind? Are the interests of Grand Secretary Hua the same? If Yin Yan cannot persuade these two people, the resources he can mobilize will be very limited.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the servant came to report: "Third Master, the prince consort of Yongchang is here to find you. He said he must see you."
