Lang Wuxu couldn't help showing an ugly expression on his face. Chu Huan naturally saw it, took a sip of tea from his cup, and then cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I am grateful for the hospitality today. I am sorry to bother you. Now I have eaten the tea. I’ve tasted it too, I don’t dare to bother you any more. If you have time in another day, I will be the host and invite you to go to the humble house to have a glass of water and wine, and I will take my leave today.”

Lang Wuxu grabbed Chu Huan's arm suddenly and said, "Brother Chu, save me!"

Chu Huan was taken aback.

Lang Wuxu smiled wryly and said: "I am very grateful to have been guided by Brother Chu Xian today, and I ask Brother Chu Xian to point out a bright way!"

"My lord, where did you start with that?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "How can you be a lowly official? How dare you point out your lord?"

Lang Wuxu sighed: "Brother Chu Xian, it's really not easy for me to be where I am today. In fact, it doesn't matter if I fall, but... But the whole family will be implicated, especially Yaxian, who is young, if I fall, What do you think she should do?" He held Chu Huan's arm, and said solemnly: "Brother Chu, outsiders' gossip that I am a member of the Hanwang Party is just a lie, I am suffering and can't tell."

Chu Huan looked surprised, and said in a low voice: "Master Minister, I am... I am confused by you!"

"I'm from Anyi, and I'm from the same hometown as Lord An. To be able to have this day, Lord An has indeed contributed a lot." Lang Wuxu smiled wryly: "Because of this, everyone thinks that I am from Lord An. , In fact, how do they know that I am wholeheartedly loyal to the Holy Majesty, and I never dare to have the slightest second heart for the Holy Majesty." Lowering his voice, he said: "Actually, in my eyes, it will be a matter of time before His Royal Highness is deposed, but the King of Han may not be the best. The candidate, His Highness King Han is too domineering, but His Highness King Qi is gentle and generous, and I have always liked His Highness Qi Wang."

Chu Huan blinked, frowned and said, "My lord, these words...!"

"If it were someone else, I would naturally not say such taboo words." Lang Wuxu said, "But I already regard Brother Chu Xian as my own family, so I wouldn't hide it. Brother Chu Xian, it's not that I'm acting out of favor Rudder, in fact, I have always admired His Royal Highness Qi Wang in my heart, but I am in the mud, and it is difficult to get out... Today I also ask Brother Chu Xian to show me a clear way!"

Chu Huan stared at Lang Wuxu for a long time before sighing: "Master Shi Lang, are you joking? His Highness the King of Han is strong and strong, and His Highness the King of Qi is weak. You...how could you abandon the strong and follow the weak? And...and the Prince Chu The position is still in the hands of the Crown Prince, how it will develop in the future is still unknown, Mr. Minister, we are opening the skylight to speak brightly, if you defect to His Highness King Qi at this time, don't you regret it?"

Lang Wuxu thought to himself: "The Holy Majesty has never been unable to do what he wants to do. Since he wants to support the King of Qi, no matter how strong the King of Han is, it will collapse sooner or later. How powerful His Royal Highness was back then, and The king of Han doesn't need to be as strong as the king of Qi today, but isn't the king of Han still powerful now? When the prince is abolished by the emperor and the king of Qi is appointed as the heir, then it will be too late for me to take refuge." On the surface, he was generous. He said: "Brother Chu, based on my experience in observing people for so many years, Queen Qi will definitely be a promising monarch in the future. I just want to do something for Daqin conscientiously. I believe that under the command of King Qi, I will be able to show my ambition."

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "My lord has lofty ambitions, and Chu Huan admires him." Then he sighed: "But it is just like what the minister said, everyone in the government and the public thought that the minister was a member of the King of Han's party. I believe in the ambition of Lord Shi Lang, but...but can His Highness King Qi believe it?" Leaning forward, he leaned closer and said, "The more important thing is, can the Holy Majesty believe it?"

Lang Wuxu said distressedly: "That's why I invited Brother Chu Xian to point out a bright way!"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "Since we are talking about this, I will bluntly say that it is not easy for the servant to seek refuge with His Highness King Qi. The servant should know that there is Xu Congyang and the great scholar Xu Congyang beside King Qi." Waiting for important ministers, even if the officials and the King of Qi both believe in Sir Minister, can Grand Master Xu believe it? After all, you have been in the Hanwang Party for many years, but Grand Master Xu is an extremely cautious person...!" Shaking his head, he said: "If the Minister's lord can't show enough sincerity, Master Xu will not believe in the lord's loyalty."

"Yes, yes." Lang Wuxu nodded hastily and said, "Master Xu is a cautious person, and I am also worried about this. I really want to vote for King Qi, but... hey, how should I express myself? sincerity?"

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "This lower official really doesn't know."

"Brother Chu Xian, you also know that although I am in the position of servant of the household department, I have always been under Hu Bufan. Even if I want to help King Qi, but Hu Bufan is watching, many things are powerless!" Lang Wu Is it false.

Chu Huan smiled, and said softly: "Yes, if one day, Mr. Shi Lang ascends to the position of Hubu Shangshu, many things will be solved...!" At this point, he stopped talking, but picked up the teacup , Tasting tea again.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lang Wuxu's eyes, and then hesitation appeared again. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Brother Chu Xian, in fact, even if Hu Bufan is overthrown, if Duke An is still there, the King of Han's power may not be weakened! "

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Master Minister, please say something that shouldn't be said. Since Your Majesty wants to do something, do you think you will only do things that scare the snake?" My lord, it's already very late today, we can't delay any longer, I will take my leave first!"

Lang Wuxu was thoughtful, but this time he didn't stop him, he got up to see Chu Huan off, and when he got outside the mansion, Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, I will take my leave!"

Lang Wuxu stepped forward and said softly: "Brother Chu Xian is good to go, let me think about it carefully, and I will definitely show my sincerity."

When Chu Huan left, Lang Wuxu returned to the tea room alone, and before he could sit down, a middle-aged woman had already entered, and said with a displeased face: "Master, has the surname Chu left?"

Lang Wuxu looked up and asked, "Has Madam not rested yet?"

"How can I sleep." The woman came forward and sat down opposite Lang Wuxu: "Master, I ask you, do you want to have any thoughts on Yaxian?"

Lang Wuxu laughed and said, "Why did Madam say that?"

"No matter how expensive the guest is, you never let Yaxian show up. Today, only one of the principals came, and he is still your subordinate. How could you let Yaxian come out to make tea?" The woman seemed very dissatisfied: "That Chu Huan is not married, so you asked a girl from Yaxian to come over and make tea for him, didn't you think about it?"

Lang Wuxu said with a smile: "Madam is extremely smart, I can't hide anything from Madam."

Mrs. Lang said with a sullen face: "At this time, I absolutely don't agree. Who is he, Chu Huan? I heard that he only started as a commoner and hit the big luck, so he got mixed up in the capital. Our Su family is a big family in Anyi. Your Lang family She is also from an aristocratic family, how can our daughter be betrothed to someone like Chu Huan. Master, if you really arrange it like that, will our Anyi Su family still have face?"

Lang Wuxu frowned and said, "How did I ever say that I would betroth Yaxian to Chu Huan?"

"Then what do you mean?"

Lang Wuxu sighed, and said: "Madam, you live in the mansion, you don't know the affairs of the court, something big is going to happen in the court."

"event?"

"The Hanwang party is already in danger." Lang Wuxu said: "I remember I told you last time that the Holy Majesty transferred Chu Huan to the household department, and there must be a plan. Today I finally confirmed that the Holy Majesty is going to use Chu Huan For the knife, to tear apart the household department, its final purpose is to...!" He lowered his voice and said: "It is to suppress the king of Han and prepare to make the king of Qi his heir!"

Mrs. Lang was surprised: "Really?" She looked suspicious: "No? If you want to establish the king of Qi, why did you support the king of Han in the first place?" She obviously didn't believe the king of Qi.

Lang Wuxu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "I've thought about it for a long time, and now I've figured it out. You must know that the most beloved woman in the life of the Holy Majesty is the empress, and King Qi is the empress's own prince. Not only was the empress doted on her, but she was also loved by the sage. It stands to reason that the king of Qi had already reached the age of leaving the palace to open the mansion, but the sage did not let the king of Qi open the mansion and stayed in the palace. Can't find any clues?"

Mrs. Lang asked suspiciously, "What does the master mean?"

"I couldn't see the mystery before, but now I can see it through." Lang Wuxu sighed softly: "It was to protect the king of Qi. The prince had the support of the military and the position of heir. The scenery is infinite, and its momentum is not even inferior to the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty promoted the King of Han, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, including me, thought that he wanted to change the King of Han as the heir. But today, it seems that the real intention of the Holy Majesty is to use the King of Han to check and balance Prince, it’s just to suppress the prince.”

"Master, is that really the case?" Mrs. Lang was still in a daze.

"I'm [-]% sure." Lang Wuxu said solemnly: "The king of Han is a tool used to check and balance the prince. Look at the current situation with the prince. Falling from the horse, the end is very miserable. Now the prince is defeated, but the king of Han is up again. The king of Han today is the prince of the past, and the holy general Chu Huan is sent to the Ministry of household affairs, so he is going to do the same, just like he did with the prince , we are going to attack the King of Han!"

Mrs. Lang showed a frightened look, and said: "Master, the Holy Majesty is going to operate from the household department. You are in the household department. Isn't...is it very dangerous?"

Lang Wuxu nodded and said, "It's extremely dangerous."

"Then what should I do?" Mrs. Lang panicked: "I remember that when the prince was dismissed as an official, the dowry was dodged, the head was beheaded, and the fate of the family members was even more miserable...!" Her face was already a little pale.

Lang Wuxu was restless and said: "That's why I drew Chu Huan's line. Chu Huan is a member of the King of Qi, and the sage will use him highly. If the King of Qi gains power in the future, Chu Huan's future will be limitless."

Mrs. Lang frowned and said, "Master, are you sure about this? Could it be that you were bewitched by Chu Huan's words?"

Lang Wuxu smiled lightly and said: "Huang-haired boy, how can you confuse me? How can I believe it if you just rely on his few words?" After a pause, he said: "Actually, you can see the clues from the people around King Qi. Xu Congyang is the number one person around the King of Qi. He has offended the Holy Majesty many times in the court, and there have been many straight ministers in the court before. Xu Congyang is the only one who offended the Holy Majesty but was safe. Do you think the Holy Majesty favors Xu Congyang? No, it's just because Xu Congyang is from the King of Qi, so the Holy Majesty tolerated Xu Congyang and everyone in order to preserve the power of King Qi, if Xu Congyang is not from the King of Qi, his head may have turned into bones by now."

Mrs. Lang is obviously a suspicious person. Although she was uneasy, she still asked: "If the Holy One really has the heart to pass on the throne to King Qi, why hasn't King Qi had much power around him for so many years?"

"This is the brilliance." Lang Wuxu praised: "The so-called low-key behavior is like this. King Qi is weak, so everyone will pay no attention to him, and all attention will be placed on the crown prince and King Han. But we almost forgot that the Great Qin Empire belongs to the Holy Majesty, and if the Holy Majesty wanted King Qi to stand up, it would only be a matter of raising his hand. Now the signs have shown that the Holy Majesty is already preparing to support King Qi."

"Master, if this is the case, you have to think of a way." Mrs. Lang's voice trembled slightly: "If the Holy Majesty really wants to suppress the King of Han, you...you are in a bad situation!"

"Who says no." Lang Wuxu said in a low voice: "It's ridiculous that idiots like Hu Bufan don't know the key to it, and they want to suppress Chu Huan. He doesn't even think about it. Can Chu Huan be brought down? Fortunately, I kept my mind and watched Chu Huan's behavior since he entered the household department. Today, I tested it for the last time in the household department yamen. Chu Huan blocked Sitiantai's medicinal herb silver without saying a word. Yin, but for the other funds that Hu Bufan wants to mobilize, Chu Huan always makes things difficult on purpose, so it can be seen that Chu Huan is definitely the knife that the Holy Majesty placed in the household department to deal with us."

Mrs. Lang finally understood: "Master, you asked Yaxian to come over because you want to win Chu Huan over with Yaxian?"

"That's right. Chu Huan doesn't dislike Yaxian, which gives us a chance." Lang Wuxu said honestly, "If you want to become King Qi and avoid future disasters, you have to start from Chu Huan's line." Let's do it!"

Mrs. Lang frowned and said: "I just betrothed Yaxian to such a person, I really... I really don't want to be reconciled."

"Ma'am, the overall situation is the most important thing." Lang Wuxu said: "If Yaxian can keep me safe, it is worth sacrificing. What's more, it is not necessary. Today I hinted, but didn't say it directly I want to betroth Yaxian to him, and I have to wait and see what happens." After a pause, he stroked his beard and said, "I'm just thinking about how to make King Qi trust me and avoid future disasters. .”

Mrs. Lang reminded: "My lord, these are just guesses, and you should think twice about everything. If you guess wrongly, or make a wrong choice, it will be too late to regret. Even if the Holy Majesty really wants to establish the king of Qi, we want Take refuge with the King of Qi, but be careful about the side of the King of Han. You have always been a member of the King of Han, if you go to the King of Qi and are found out by the Hanwang party, the consequences... the consequences will be unimaginable."

"What madam said is true." Lang Wuxu nodded slightly, with a troubled expression on his face: "So I have to be careful every step I take. I want to win the trust of King Qi, but I can't tear myself apart with King Han...at least until King Han collapses. , can’t let the King of Han know that I want to choose another family!”

……

……

Lang Wuxu was distressed, but Chu Huan was laughing. Today, Lang's visit made Chu Huan understand that Lang Wuxu is really a fool.

Chu Huan also doubted whether Lang Wuxu had other plans, but thinking about the situation at that time, Lang Wuxu couldn't help showing his true attitude several times, which made Chu Huan sure that this person was really planning to choose another backer up.

Chu Huan already knew a little about people like Lang Wuxu, and it was not surprising that such a thing happened to him.

For Chu Huan, Lang Wuxu wanted to seek refuge with the King of Qi. Of course, it was not a bad thing.

To be honest, he really felt like he was fighting alone in the household department. If Lang Wuxu really changed his family and helped him from the side, it would definitely be of great help to him.

Of course, for someone like Lang Wuxu, Chu Huan would never really believe him. Even if Lang Wu showed full sincerity, Chu Huan would only believe three points and be cautious seven points.

Riding back to the front of the mansion, he saw a figure walking back and forth in front of the door from a distance. Chu Huan frowned. Sun Jingyi of the Ximen Department of Wujingwei.

Sun Jing said from a distance: "Master Chu, you are back, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chu Huan got off his horse and asked curiously, "Brother Sun, do you need me?"

"Your Excellency Chu, you also know that there is no nursing home in your mansion. Wang Shutou told us to come here more often when we patrol on weekdays, and be careful." Sun Jing said excitedly: "Today There are brothers on patrol, and I really saw two guys sneaking around in front of your house. They are not good people at first glance, and the head of the office of Wang has already led people to arrest them in the office."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Who?"

"It's still being interrogated, but it doesn't look like a good person at first glance. There is a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who also said that he is your apprentice. We don't believe it if he is killed." Sun Jing said.

"My apprentice?" Chu Huan was taken aback.

He remembered his only apprentice, who seemed to be the little bastard Princess Jinghua in the palace, where were there other apprentices?Someone in the Ximen Department knew Princess Jinghua, so it was naturally not Princess Jinghua who was arrested.

He is really curious now, these days there are many people pretending to be his apprentice, and he suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Go, go and see, I want to see what my apprentice looks like. "

When the two came to the Ximen office, Wu Jingwei in the office saluted respectfully. After entering the courtyard, they heard a ghost scream from a room on the left: "You are so bold, you... ouch, who kicked me? I am Lord Chu's apprentice, if you hit me, when my master comes over, he will definitely not spare you!"

Another voice said coldly: "I advise you officials to figure it out before calling. We are indeed friends of Mr. Chu, and we are waiting for him to come back in front of his mansion, not with any evil intentions...!"

"Still talking hard!" Wang Fu's voice came from inside: "Master Chu, we are very familiar with each other. We have never heard of any apprentices. Even if there are apprentices, it is Princess Jingyun. When will there be more apprentices like you? Yes Now, be more honest, if you talk nonsense again, your other eye will be disabled!"
