Duke An Guo coughed for a while, took out the black brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the corner of his mouth, and Hu Bufan supported Duke An Guo, still seemed to be puzzled: "Old Duke, why is the emperor doing this?"

"Mr. Hu, you are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. You are a shrewd person. Why can't you understand the key points?" Duke An sighed: "Without today's assessment, if the emperor easily transferred Chu Huan to the Ministry of Revenue, who would have convinced the civil and military ministers in the court? Today, Chu Huan passed all the civil and military assessments in the Iron Blood Garden. At least in everyone's eyes, Chu Huan can be regarded as a versatile civil and military talent. At this time, even if someone is still dissatisfied, it can eliminate the doubts of most people than directly celebrating Chu Huan in the Palace of Light. Chu Huan can also block the mouths of many people because of today's skills."

Hu Bufan said: "Isn't it a bit of a risk when the emperor is like this? Fortunately, Chu Huan passed it today. If he cannot pass today, wouldn't the emperor's previous plans be wasted?"

"Of course not." Duke An Guoshi shook his head and said, "If you can pass, the priest will naturally be satisfied. If you cannot pass, the priest will not care about Chu Huan, and will not use Chu Huan more seriously. Today's assessment, whether it is strong or not or not, is all under the control of the priest. If Chu Huan cannot pass today's assessment, then he will not be worthy of being a priest."

"So that's it!" Hu Bufan understood and sighed: "The old Duke is extremely wise, and the official finally understands now!"

"What do you understand?"

"The lower official understands that the emperor intends to reuse Chu Huan, and he has already made up his mind to let Chu Huan enter the Ministry of Revenue."

Duke An Guo smiled indifferently and asked, "Then why did the priest arrange Chu Huan to enter the Ministry of Revenue? Have you ever understood? Chu Huan is just a guard general in Yunshan Prefecture. I have many talents in the Qin Dynasty, but why did the priest choose Chu Huan alone? Have you ever figured it out?"

Hu Bufan frowned, pondered slightly, and then sighed: "Old Duke, I really don't hide it from it. Even now, the officials cannot figure out what the emperor is about."

Duke An Guogong sighed: "The emperor is the most savvy person in the world. His every word and action is far-reaching. He spent his time and made great efforts this time, of course, not just to promote the small guard generals of Yunshan Prefecture!"

Hu Bufan nodded and said, "The lower officials think so too. The head of the Ministry of Revenue Department is an important position. It is indeed unusual for the emperor to transfer Chu Huan to this position."

Duke An Guo looked grim and murmured to himself: "Are the emperor preparing to kill three birds with one stone...!"

"Three eagles in one arrow?" Hu Bufanqi said: "Why did the old Duke say this? Which three eagles are there in this arrow?"

Duke An Guo looked at Hu Bufan and said lightly: "Although the priest has been obsessed with practicing Taoism and immortality in recent years, it seems that he rarely deals with state affairs, but the national affairs of the Qin Dynasty are all in the minds of the priest, all corners of the court, and in the eyes of the priest. We are close to His Highness the King of Han, do you think the priest will know?"

Hu Bufan said, "Old Duke, what do you mean is that the emperor's action this time is going to be detrimental to the King of Han?" He pondered slightly, shook his head and said, "This... should be impossible, right?"

"Why is it impossible?" Duke An Guo was calm and composed.

Hu Bufan looked around again. At this time, the two were walking on a small path. No one followed him. He couldn't help but lower his voice: "The old Duke knows that the emperor has already thought of abolishing the crown prince. How can the prince dominate the world? In recent years, the emperor has decently decentralized power to the King of Han. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is intentionally to cultivate His Highness the King of Han. According to the views of the subordinates, it will be a matter of time before the emperor abolishes the crown prince. If the prince is abolished, the country must have a crown prince. It is certain that the position of the crown prince is the King of Han!"

"Do you think it's the King of Han?"

"Naturally." Hu Bufan was full of confidence in this. "The King of Han was a civilized and martial arts, and was respectful to the wise and the inferior, so he was outstanding. The emperor was above the court meeting. However, he praised the King of Han's talents and virtues several times, but he gradually became colder to the prince. The emperor's heart was no longer aware of it."

"The holy heart is like the sea, and it will never be like you think." Duke An Guo staggered and shook his head and sighed: "If anyone thinks that he can see through the heart of the saint, it would be a big mistake. Even I have always thought that the saint intends to pass the throne of King of Han. Until today, I made such a judgment, but today, I felt that everything before was wrong."

"Wrong?" Hu Bufan said in a slight shock: "Old Duke, what's wrong?"

"All of them were wrong." Duke An looked very haggard: "What we think in our hearts is the heart of ordinary people after all, and the saint is extraordinary. Who can truly see through his thoughts?"

Hu Bufan narrowed his eyes and pondered slightly, as if he understood something, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes: "Old Duke, can he become the emperor and the emperor have no intention of passing the throne to King of Han?"

Duke An Guo shook his head and said, "I am already confused." After pausing, he said softly: "From the clues in recent years, the emperor seems to really want to pass the throne to the King of Han. If it were not for the princelings' efforts to protect it, I would have thought that the emperor would have deposed the crown prince long ago. Although the princelings still have some strength, I also thought that the emperor would have deposed the crown prince as soon as possible, within two years later. However, Chu Huan's scene today made me wrong in previous judgments."

"What's the relationship between Chu Huan?"

"You have to know that Chu Huan is the King of Qi." Duke An said lightly: "I have found out that Chu Huan is just a guard general in Yunshan Mansion, but this small guard general has done a lot of big things. The King of Qi was assassinated in Yunshan Mansion and almost died. It was Chu Huan who saved the life of the King of Qi...!"

Hu Bufan frowned and said, "Old Duke, I have heard of this matter. As far as the officials know, Luo Shiheng, the commander of Yunshan Prefecture, was also involved..." Anger appeared on his face: "Luo Shiheng was so confused by lard, how did he do such a thing?" Xiang Guogong said in a low voice: "Old Duke, Luo Shiheng, how dare he be so crazy, could he...?"

Duke An Guosha shook his head and did not speak.

Hu Bufan said: "I'm afraid this matter will drag down His Highness the King of Han..."

"I have my own concerns at this time, so it is not advisable to say much." Duke An shook his head and said, "Chu Huan is indeed a great contribution to the fact that King Qi can survive. As far as I know, Chu Huan was able to enter the capital and was summoned by the emperor because King Qi recommended it several times in front of the emperor."

Hu Bufan said softly: "Chu Huan is the King of Qi, and the emperor valued Chu Huan again..." His face darkened and he said in a lost voice: "Old Duke, is Chu Huan valued because of King of Qi?"

"You can tell if you don't ask." Duke An nodded slightly: "Promoting Chu Huan is actually promoting King Qi, and you must know this."

Hu Bufan sneered: "The King of Qi is just an ignorant naughty boy. Even if Chu Huan is his man, can he make any fortune?"

Duke An Guo glanced at Hu Bufan and said, "Don't forget that the King of Qi had already been crowned as the king. It should have been the palace to open the palace. The King of Han was sixteen and left the palace to open the palace, but to this day, the King of Qi still lives in the palace. Don't you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Hu Bufan was stunned.

Duke An narrowed his eyes and said, "For so many years, the King of Qi has no power and power. No one will think that he has the ability to take on the Qin Dynasty. When the eldest prince died in the battlefield, His Highness of the Han King was still young, and no one would suspect that the one who inherited the throne would be the one who inherited the throne... But after that incident, His Highness of the Han King gradually lost favor, but His Highness of the Han King gradually showed his strength. Over the years, the crown prince and the Han King have stood up, but to this day, I suddenly remembered that the emperor is not only two sons now."

Hu Bufan said in surprise: "Old Duke, can the Lord of the Emperor...!" Feeling that his voice was too loud, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Will the Lord of the Emperor pass the throne to the King of Qi? How is this possible?"

Duke An Guo pondered for a moment before whispering: "The emperor promoted the King of Han in recent years. Who dares to say that it is not to let the King of Han compete with the prince and maintain balance in the court? The emperor's skills are originally balanced. The ministers must balance, and the prince must also balance. The prince competes with the King of Han, and the King of Qi stays in the palace, and it may not be impossible to protect the King of Qi."

Hu Bufan couldn't help but clenched his fists and sneered: "The King of Han is so talented and wise, how could he be compared to the rude boy of the King of Qi? Who can afford the great Qin Dynasty's ten thousand miles of land except His Highness of Han?"

Duke An Guoshi shook his head and said, "Who is brave enough to be in this country is not yours, but you and I have the final say. In the world, only the emperor has the final say."

"Even if this is true, there is no one available around the King of Qi. What's the use of just Chu Huan?" Hu Bufan sneered: "Chu Huan entered my Ministry of Revenue. Under Xia Guan's nose, I want to see what tricks he can do? As long as there is a slight mistake, Xia Guan will definitely make him doom."

Duke An Guozhao sighed: "There are more than a few hundred official positions in the court. General Chu Huan arranged to enter the Ministry of Revenue. Do you think it was just a temporary idea?"

When Hu Bufan heard Duke An Guo’s words, he felt a little cold in the soles of his feet under the warm sunshine.

"I said that the emperor is likely to kill three birds with one stone." Duke An Guo said solemnly: "One of the matter, it may be to cultivate party members for the King of Qi, and secondly, it may be to use Chu Huan's hands to cause trouble in the Ministry of Revenue. You must understand that the Ministry of Revenue has always been the power of His Highness the King of Han. What is the purpose of arranging the people of the King of Qi to the King of Han's sphere of influence? Third... Hehe, there are many things that I am dealing with in the Ministry of Revenue. The Emperor is always thinking about preparing to deal with me, right?"

Hu Bufan hurriedly said, "The old Duke is too worried. The emperor trusts the old Duke very much. Xuanyuan Pingzhang has fought with the old Duke for many years. In the end, the emperor was not biased against the old Duke. Now Xuanyuan Pingzhang is famous but has no power, and is incomparable to the old Duke. This shows the emperor's trust in the old Duke."

Duke An Guozhao sighed, "The holy heart is like the sea, and we can never guess his thoughts." He said softly, "Chu Huan entered the Ministry of Revenue. You must be careful. There is no chance of killing, and don't act rashly."

Hu Bufan nodded and said, "The official understands, don't worry, the old Duke." Suddenly, "Hey, isn't that Feng Yuanpo?"

Duke An Guo looked over and saw a eunuch leading a man over. He was tall and tall, wearing official uniforms. Although he was only a famous eunuch by his side, the man seemed to be very respectful to the eunuch. He bent his body and came towards him with caution.
