Chapter 143
If Bian Guang knew what His Highness the Seventh Prince was thinking, it would be nice to say that he was young.

It was because of Lu Hanjiang's order that he let Kong Wen go away. After all, His Majesty's birthday banquet was just around the corner, and His Majesty's face was not good-looking when he made a fuss, so it must be impossible to arrest him immediately.

This is just a cutscene, used by Lu Hanjiang on the other side to confuse the princess' eyes. As for his respect to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, it is purely a matter of habit. After staying in Jinyiwei for a long time, it is instinctive to talk about people. , Seeing people talking nonsense is naturally easy to catch.

Bian Guang shook his head, no longer thinking about these useless things, he summoned the guards and asked, "Where is Cui Baihu?"

The guard looked at Bian Guang in surprise, and replied: "My lord, Cui Baihu has been ordered to go south."

Only then did Bian Guang realize that there was such a thing, Cui Yixiao was assigned by Mr. Lu to work in Miaojiang, he thought to himself, maybe it's time to recruit some talents.

Not only Bian Guang is aware of the problem of Jinyiwei's talent decline, but Lu Hanjiang is also worried about it.

It is an exaggeration to say that talents are withering. It should be a shortage of manpower, mainly due to the shortage of middle-level forces who can carry the banner.

After all, nearly half of the thousand households were lost all of a sudden, and anyone who changed them would feel that there were not enough people.

In the past, Lu Hanjiang worked in Qianhu, and he had two capable Baihu under him, Bian Guang and Jiang Xian. Based on them, it was enough to develop a group of powerful subordinates.

But now that he is the governor, among other things, he has to find a way to fill the vacant positions of thousands of households.

Naturally, all of his direct subordinates had to keep their positions, so the remaining one, Beizhen Fusi originally had two Deputy Qianhu, Ying Wushang and Liu Yishou.

When Lu Hanjiang wrote down the names of these two people on the roster, he always had a subtle feeling that a person could be lucky for a while, but not for a lifetime.

After hesitating for a moment, he still wrote down the names of the two people, and then handed over the roster to his subordinates. This thing will be circulated all the way to Meng Yuan's hands. After the Commander nods, he can proceed to arrange the examination and promotion matters .

After dealing with this matter, Lu Hanjiang stretched his waist, cleaned up the table and prepared to go home. He has worked too hard recently and rewarded himself with a half-day vacation.

"Brother, what are you talking about, Senior Brother Kong, he, he actually conspired with Jin Yiwei to use the secrets of the Xiaoyao Sect to benefit himself?!"

In the teahouse, Xi Qiu in disguise got amazing news from "Qiao Cunsi".

Under normal circumstances, Lu Hanjiang is not interested in boring rumors, so this time when she came to see Xi Qiu, she was still Huangfu Xiaoyuan after she changed her appearance. She sighed and imitated Lu Hanjiang's tone and said: "Senior sister, I personally witnessed this matter today. What you see, there will be no falsehood."

"This this"

Xi Qiu was a little panicked for a while, it was a big taboo to do things in the Jianghu in the capital, not to mention that what the Xiaoyao faction sought were monstrous events, once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Once the secret of jade is exposed, not to mention how many people will covet it, His Majesty the Emperor alone will never let them, disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, be let go.

"Senior sister, you should make a quick decision." Huangfu Xiaoyuan inadvertently urged, interrupting Xi Qiu's pace of thinking.

"The matter is very important. If he really turns his back on the Xiaoyao faction, he may have to act first." Xi Qiu may have a little expectation for Kong Wen, so he didn't say anything dead.

However, Huangfu Xiaoyuan persuaded: "Senior sister, His Majesty's birthday is approaching, if we do it at this time, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"What you said is. What should we do?"

Xi Qiu is restless, even if she has the peerless martial arts of the Xiaoyao School, once she loses her backbone, it will only take a moment for her to get into a mess.

"Why don't you tell Brother Chu about this and ask him what he thinks?"

Huangfu Xiaoyuan guided, but also said: "But senior sister, that Confucian text is inconsistent, it is really not worthy of trust, we can no longer trust him."

"However," Xi Qiu wondered, "The secret needs to be collected from all the seven jade stones in the hands of the highnesses to unlock it. If Senior Brother Kong is not willing to help."

"Senior sister, Junior Brother Rong, to be honest, the secret of jade does require tokens in the hands of all His Highnesses, but it doesn't require seven people to work together."

Huangfu Xiaoyuan spoke in a cryptic manner, and in a hurry, Xi Qiu didn't understand her meaning for a moment, but said: "Junior brother, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Senior Sister, it is impossible to get out of the body now, why don't we go further."

Ignoring Xi Qiu whose face changed drastically, Huangfu Xiaoyuan said bluntly: "We pretend to cooperate with Senior Brother Kong, and we can do something secretly."

After being silent for a long time, Xi Qiu looked at Huangfu Xiaoyuan and asked: "Junior brother, actually you also want to win the merit of Conglong, don't you?"

"Who in the world doesn't want to reach the sky in one step."

Huangfu Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh, and said: "Senior sister, we have no way out, if we don't want to become the souls of Jin Yiwei's sword, we can only fight hard."

"Whatever you think, junior brother, let's talk about it." Xi Qiu finally gave in.

Huangfu Xiaoyuan said indifferently: "The day after tomorrow will be His Majesty's birthday banquet, we need to push him out before Senior Brother Kong."

Xi Qiu sighed, and said, "I will persuade the Fourth Highness."

"Senior Sister is wrong, it's not His Highness the Fourth Highness, it's His Highness the Seventh Highness."

Huangfu Xiaoyuan looked slyly, and she said: "I remember that although His Royal Highness has lost power, he still has some influence in the court, and there are a few courtiers under his command who have not been exposed, right?"

"That's right." Xi Qiu nodded. Although the fourth prince is not smart, he has a good family background. Even if he loses a few times, he still has some left.

Huangfu Xiaoyuan said surprisingly: "Senior sister, please persuade His Highness the Fourth Highness to greet those courtiers and jointly invite His Highness Seventh Highness to be the crown prince at the birthday banquet."

"Junior brother, do you want to—" Xi Qiu was startled, and seemed to understand what the other party meant.

"Senior Brother Kong is not benevolent, so we can't blame us for being unrighteous. Besides, they originally planned to push one of His Highnesses out to test things out. Now that Fourth Highness has been replaced by Seventh Highness, we can also see His Majesty's attitude."

Xi Qiu looked at the confident Huangfu Xiaoyuan, and chose to agree to the matter without hesitation.

After returning to Lu's house, Huangfu Xiaoyuan told Lu Hanjiang what happened.

"Senior Sister Xi Qiu is a very controllable person, you have done a good job." Lu Hanjiang praised her.

Huangfu Xiaoyuan's face was flat, thinking of Xi Qiu, it was indeed consistent with Lu Hanjiang's evaluation.

Although this Senior Sister Xi Qiu has a good talent in martial arts, she lacks assertiveness in dealing with others and is a bit lonely. If someone close to her speaks, it can easily influence her.

This time, Lu Hanjiang didn't set up a good script for Huangfu Xiaoyuan, she did everything on her own, and the only requirement was to split the Xiaoyao faction.

Huangfu Xiaoyuan didn't know if she had completed the task, but no matter how many times she used lies and traps to calculate other people's behavior, it was difficult for her to adapt.

She would rather slap the opponent to death than to work hard step by step to lead the opponent into the trap she created.

The closer she gets, the more Huangfu Xiaoyuan can't understand Lu Hanjiang, and she doesn't understand the reason why the other party condescends to participate in these things in person, appreciating other people's suffering and taking pleasure in it, even for him All this is just a child's play, and he still enjoys it.

The resistance in her heart was accompanied by tangled pain, and the astringency spread in her mouth. Huangfu Xiaoyuan subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, and her delicate brows were lightly frowned.

After noticing Huangfu Xiaoyuan's strangeness, Lu Hanjiang handed him a glass of water, and he smiled happily.
