Chapter 76 - Tongue Bright Lotus
Xu Bai returned to the Yiwang Mansion late at night. It was funny. When he came back from the palace and saw the lights in the Yiwang Mansion, he actually felt a kind of intimacy, especially when he saw those familiar people, he almost thought that he had become sentimental.
Although the lights in the Yiwang Mansion were not bright, since seeing the first light at the door of the Yiwang Mansion and being directly welcomed to the Yiwang Mansion, Xu Bai clearly felt that the entire Yiwang Mansion was always tense.
The King of Yi was waiting for his reply.
"A wise ruler works hard for seeking talent, but is easy for governing affairs." Is this what the Empress Dowager said?
Xu Bai did not hide anything at all. From the moment he entered the palace, he told King Yi about everything he saw and heard.
"Yes, that's what the Queen Mother said at that time!" Xu Bai said frankly: "The Queen Mother also said, please don't think too much, and be braver!"
Wan Zhen'er valued Xu Bai's reply very much, and even asked the queen mother, but Xu Bai had nothing to hide when she said this, so she naturally said it straightforwardly.
He knew clearly now that if he still said that the person who had the greatest influence on King Yi would not be considered as Xu Bai, nor Qin Ji would not be considered as. However, this Wan Zhen'er had been serving King Yi. King Yi was not saying that he was obedient to her. At least, what he said from his mouth was much heavier than the weight of ordinary people.
"Where is Shi Heng?" Wan Zhen'er continued to ask, "You said that the secret talk between Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng, can you tell me what can I do?"
Xu Bai smiled bitterly, how could he take this? So far, Xu Youzhen hasn't come back yet. Who knows what can be discussed between him and his Shi Heng? The only thing that can be sure is that Xu Youzhen has been following King Yi wholeheartedly. Except King Yi, basically any force can't accept him.
"Your Majesty is a little restless. At the latest, Xu Youzhen will have news back tomorrow morning. Then the prince will know Shi Heng's attitude!"
Xu Bai comforted the King of Yi and himself, but he didn't know that when he was talking about all this with King of Yi, Xu Youzhen, who was talking to him and King of Yi, had already encouraged his 3-inch tongue. In the palace, some people's hearts were moved.
"Eunuch Cao came here today, not to see if Xu broke the palace ban!"
"Chief Xu, I always know that you are a resourceful person. It's just that you and I are ministers inside and outside, and it's rare to get close to you. If you have this opportunity today, don't dislike me, Mr. Cao, if you are unhappy, then Mr. Cao will be satisfied!"
"I don't have to say this, but I don't have to say this!"
The old foxes did not greet each other for a long time, and they basically tested each other's feelings at this time in just a few words. Although they could not be said openly, the concerns of several people were already very clear about each other.
"I'll just say it!" Xu Youzhen looked stupid and bold: "Your Majesty is now suffering from a serious illness and has not improved for a long time. Foreign ministers are always worried that something will happen. Eunuch Cao is in charge of the inner court and Marquis Shi is in charge of the imperial guards. You should always plan for yourself!"
Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, one of them was silent and the other had their faces as usual. The two looked at Xu Youzhen, but they didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Xu Youzhen became even more courageous. The two did not scold and stop him, which really means that both of them have their own thoughts.
"Either the Supreme Emperor or the King of Yi are descendants of Emperor Xuan. It is legitimate to inherit the Grand Principality. You two think there will be no problem with this matter!"
"This should be like this!" Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng both nodded slightly.
The two of them, one is loyal to Emperor Jingtai and the other is loyal to the royal family. However, at this moment, both of them both said that in the current situation, only Emperor Xuan's descendants inherited the throne, which is absolutely no problem.
"So, either King Yi or King Xiang!"
Since Xu Youzhen has uncovered the last fig leaf, he will not hide it: "You two think that it is more likely that King Yi will inherit the throne in the future, or is it more likely that King Xiang will inherit the throne!"
"This..." Both Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng were a little hesitant.
What the three of them said here at this moment is already a rebellious word, but this kind of thing is most afraid of the beginning. Once this starts and someone continues the topic, the person who discusses this matter will not be so secretive.
Since everyone has talked about this topic, it means that everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, sharing life and death, and there is nothing that cannot be said to others.
"If King Xiang coveted the throne, he would have coveted it eight years ago!" Xu Youzhen said: "Whether the Empress Dowager was testing King Xiang or really wanted King Xiang to inherit the throne, this matter was settled eight years ago. Now, it is just a pointless thing to re-discuss the old matter!"
"But King Yi is young!" Shi Heng hesitated.
"The Supreme Emperor is full of youth!" Xu Youzhen said without hesitation: "If King Yi is the emperor, if there is something unsure about the affairs of the government, he will naturally ask the Supreme Emperor. This is not a problem!"
"What does Eunuch Cao think!" Shi Heng did not express his opinion, but looked at Cao Jixiang.
"Cao only knows loyalty to the royal family. No matter which master is in this country, as long as he is the descendant of Emperor Xuan and the Zhu family, there is not much difference for Cao!"
"Marquis..." Xu Youzhen looked at Shi Heng: "Yu Qian monopolizes military power. Although the Marquis is valued by His Majesty, he has always been under Yu Qian's pressure. Doesn't the Marquis want to change some things?"
"If Yu Qian was not a power, Your Majesty wouldn't use me!" Shi Heng pondered for a moment: "What's the situation? Anyway, that guy Yu Qian must not be able to control the government!"
"Then there is no problem!" Xu Youzhen said happily: "Once there is a change, no matter what His Majesty's decree is, King Yi will enter the palace and the two will definitely be able to support each other!"
"Is that right?" Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang laughed. They were old foxes for many years. How could they be led by Xu Youzhen in this way? For both of them, if it were not for the promise of King Yi, everything the person in front of them said would be nothing more than farts.
"If you two are still worried, I can arrange for you to meet with King Yi!"
Xu Youzhen is not bad either. They are all foxes on the same mountain. It is boring to talk to each other about Stories from a Chinese Studio. He naturally knows that what he said at this moment is so irrelevant that he actually can't stand the promise of King Yi.
