fifth form

Xintei took a test.

This question is actually a very common question.

But if the new emperor is purely trying to embarrass others, this question will not be a multiple-choice question, but will become an either question. No matter whether you choose left or right, you will be wrong.

"Towards the left is respectable. Honorable people will naturally step into the door with their left foot!"

Zhang Xuezhou did not make a simple choice, but instead gave the new emperor a choice.

If the other person is willing to think that he is inferior and has to step up to the threshold with his right foot, then there is nothing he can do.

"Your answer is interesting!"

The new emperor believed that Zhang Xuezhou was eloquent and would come up with some bad ideas.

Now that I'm here again, this guy is just as good as before.

This answer satisfied him.

The new emperor thought for two seconds, then raised his left foot and stepped over the threshold.

"I heard that you will give me orders?" the new emperor asked.

"Is this the second question in the bachelor's exam this month?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xuezhou's inquiry really stumped the new emperor.

The Empress Dowager and the new emperor discussed a lot, and the new emperor also experienced the palace banquet.

He was vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Like a swift on the eve of a storm, the new emperor felt that a storm was sweeping towards him.

A single move affects the whole body. As long as a certain place is triggered, a series of chain reactions will occur.

As the center of the storm, Xintei felt that he was definitely not having a good time.

Even if he asked his uncle Tian Fu to use lies to confuse King Huainan, and prepared for King Huainan to come to Chang'an City to pay homage to Emperor Gaozu, he would immediately start a trip to worship Emperor Gaozu, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.

The new emperor always felt that he had neglected something.

But the big and small things in the palace are so complicated that outsiders can't know them at will.

The new emperor turned his attention to physiognomy, which predicts the unknown.

What he was facing now was the question of whether to step on his left foot or his right foot first. No matter which one he stepped on, the new emperor might make a mistake.

Zhang Xuezhou's response was very good, but Xintei felt that it was still a little bit behind, making it difficult for him to learn the direction he needed to find.

"That's the second question," the new emperor finally nodded and admitted.

"Then how many questions do I have to answer in total?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"One question per month, twelve questions per year. If you answer enough questions today, you won't have to answer any questions in the following months," Xintei said simply and clearly.

"Then I know a little bit," Zhang Xuezhou admitted, "I just learned a little bit of physiognomy casually, and I joined you. You won't burn me to death according to the Qin system, right?"

"will not!"

The new emperor shook his head.

He followed Zhang Xuezhou and glanced at the men and women fighting in the kitchen. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou's place was not a clean place either.

As Zhang Xuezhou entered the lobby where guests were being entertained, he took over the water that Zhang Xuezhou was serving guests.

After drinking a bowl of water, the new emperor felt that his heart had gone cold.

"Then let's ask the third question!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou diligently adding water and bringing it over, the new emperor quickly entered the question session.

"If I ask you to tell me my fate, can you tell me my fate?" the new emperor asked.

"Seventh percentile of physiognomy depends entirely on illusion. I can tell fortunes, but whether it's true or not is another matter," Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"You're a bit bad at this!"

Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have answered, but he seemed not to have answered. The new emperor got the answer, but it was not the answer he wanted.

If physiognomy has a 70% error rate, then he believes that the possibility of making mistakes in physiognomy is extremely high.

This made the new emperor put back the idea of ​​asking Zhang Xuezhou to take over.

"The fourth question" the new emperor said: "This question goes back to the past of Qin II. If Qin II had not obtained the snake-cutting sword after the death of Emperor Qin, nor had he forged an edict to kill Prince Fusu, At this time, Prince Fusu suddenly returned to Xianyang City from the north. The other party even gained the loyalty of a large number of courtiers, civil and military officials, and was able to directly succeed the throne. What do you think Qin II should do to ensure that he inherits the throne?"

"Prince Fusu is Renyi, he will not kill Qin II." Zhang Xuezhou said: "Qin II cannot become the emperor, so he can only endure it slowly until Fusu dies, and then use means to obtain the throne as Qin II." Three lives!"

"Your answer..."

Qin II is not a new emperor, which makes it difficult for the new emperor to fully fit himself.

He seemed to have figured out some key points, but he didn't fully understand them.

"What if Qin II couldn't wait for a moment, so he wanted to be the emperor at that time?" the new emperor asked with a frown.

"Then he can only go underground and become emperor... Haha, it's actually not completely impossible!"

Seeing the instant change in Xin Di's expression, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Xin Di's question was too complicated.

If it hadn't been for the explanation of some history by Magistrate Wen Weng and Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Xuezhou would have lacked understanding of the dynasties a hundred years ago.

How could he know what the situation was like in the Qin Dynasty at that time and what conditions were available.

He has never even been to Xianyang City, so he is not qualified to be a hindsight.

"If you were eager for success, the only way for Qin II to ascend to the throne at that time might be to frame him." Zhang Xuezhou spread his hands and said: "If we can find some highly respected veterans to support us, and we can obtain evidence against Prince Fu Su, Qin II can try to Defining Prince Fusu as a traitor and attributing the cause of Emperor Qin’s death to Prince Fusu makes it a little bit possible!”

"Constructing a trap to help Su plot to rebel and kill Emperor Qin?"

The new emperor took a deep breath of air.

He finally saw the situation clearly and figured out the key to breaking it.

The King of Huainan followed the old system and came to Chang'an City for an audience, and everything was done reasonably and legally.

As long as the relationship between King Huainan and the Queen Mother is stable, the Queen Mother may favor King Huainan, and even let King Huainan settle in the court to stabilize everything when the court is in turmoil again.

If he wanted to avoid the possibility of King Huainan entering the Weiyang Palace, in addition to making King Huainan behave beyond the rules, he also had to solve the most important link.

Only by destroying the Empress Dowager's thoughts can King Huainan be eliminated.

'Framing' is a good way to deal with it.

The Empress Dowager disliked Emperor Jing and liked King Liang, and felt that she owed a lot to King Liang. The new emperor wanted to 'trap' King Huainan on the Empress Dowager's side, causing the Empress Dowager to misjudge.

"The King of Huainan presented "Hong Lie" to create trouble for me and confuse my mind. Little did he know that this is the real source of your trouble!"

The more profound the Huainan King's attainments in movement were, the more likely it was that it was related to the death of Liang King.

The new emperor did not need to explain directly. He only needed to take "Hong Lie" to the Empress Dowager and constantly praise the Huainan King. Occasionally, he mentioned that the Huainan King's luck skills could kill those who practiced luck thousands of miles away.

If you talk too much, the Empress Dowager may make associations.

As long as he sees the Empress Dowager changing her expression or driving the new emperor out, the new emperor feels that the matter will most likely be successful.

If the Empress Dowager pretends to be deaf and dumb, the new emperor can only compare the King of Liang and the King of Huainan, and also mention the possibility of a battle between the two in terms of luck.

When he calmed down, he realized that he had not done what he was destined to do on this trip, but he had thought about the matter clearly, and there was a general possibility of breaking the situation.

This made the new emperor extremely satisfied.

"When spring comes next year, you can go out with me for a walk," the new emperor said with satisfaction.

"Let's go for a walk?" Zhang Xuezhou blinked and said, "Just the two of us going for a walk?"

"There should be hundreds of people," the new emperor thought, "I will bring everyone who is close to me, so you can get to know each other more easily!"

Thinking about Han Yan who was forcibly placed in Weiyang Palace to play the role of reading "Honglie" by candlelight at night, Wei Qing who defeated Huainan's first sword, and Zhang Xuezhou who made bad ideas in front of him, the new emperor felt that he still had some people under his command. Some capable people.

As long as they develop well and allow his group of people to have a growth period of five to ten years, everything in the court will be generally stable.
