Chapter 224 The Fangs of the Seventh Prince

"Why don't you stand still?" Wu Xiuxian didn't understand why Han Xu had clearly seen what he was thinking, but still advised him to stand still.

What he has to do now is to compete for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Master, not to play house.

Once the opportunity is lost, it is likely to be a doomed outcome.

Wu Xiuxian said: "If you are doing it for your sister, I can guarantee that I will never hurt her."

"Your Highness, I know you are anxious now, but I only want to ask you one thing. After you think about it clearly, you should know how to make a decision."

"you say."

"Whether it is you or His Highness the Fifth, even if you sit on it now, can you sit still?"

After saying this, Han Xu patted Wu Xiuxian on the shoulder, left him alone to think, and went back alone.

Wu Xiuxian sat on the stone bench in a daze, thinking over and over what Han Xu had just said. The more he thought about it, the more he became a little lost.

Han Xu is right. After all, this is a world where strength is respected. Emperor Wu is able to maintain his position because he is the strongest man in the Dawu Dynasty. Neither Wu Xiuxian nor Wu Xiuren are even extraordinary. If you win the country, you may not be able to hold it.

After figuring it out, Wu Xiuxian let out a long sigh and poured himself a full glass of wine.

"Your Highness, He Shangshu has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." As soon as Wu Xiuxian returned to the mansion, a servant came to report.

When he saw He Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was making trouble with the seventh prince Wu Xiufu. When Wu Xiufu saw Wu Xiuxian, he showed his usual naive smile.

"Your Highness, you are back." He Yi stepped forward and said anxiously, "You don't know that His Highness Five and Fang Shangshu have already gone to visit Shangshu Hou."

Wu Xiuxian smiled and said: "Then the Minister's military expenditure for this year will be found."

Hou Qian, the Minister of War, has always maintained a neutral attitude, but it can be said that among the six departments in the court, whose words have the greatest weight, it is undoubtedly Hou Qian, because he holds the military power of the Dawu Dynasty in his hands.

With one order, he could directly command the 100,000 troops stationed outside the royal city.

Therefore, if anyone wants to compete for the throne, the quickest and surest way is to win over Hou Qian.

Therefore, Wu Xiuren went to Hou Qian's house as soon as he walked out of the palace, and Fang Ting, the Minister of Household Affairs, had already prepared a large gift of sufficient weight to meet Wu Xiuren.

He Yi said: "Your Highness, what time has it been? You are still in the mood to joke."

"I'm not kidding. Everyone is tired today. Mr. He, please go back and rest early."

He Yi was shocked by Wu Xiuxian's reaction. He didn't understand why His Highness the Third Prince, who was always astute, lost his temper at the critical moment.

However, in the eyes of others, he and Wu Xiuxian had long been grasshoppers on the same rope, so He Yi felt the need to remind Wu Xiuxian. He said, "Your Highness, my wealth and life are all hanging on you."

"Don't worry, Mr. He, I have my own sense of discretion."

He Yi still wanted to persuade, but Wu Xiuxian said impatiently: "It's getting late, I'm going to rest. He Shangshu, please remember my words and stay still."

After saying that, Wu Xiuxian went back to the study by himself without greeting He Yi.

As for He Yi, he comes to the house many times, so Ben has reserved a guest room for him for a long time.

After Wu Xiuxian left for a long time, the foolish Wu Xiufu suddenly sat upright, and his empty eyes regained their vitality.

He said to He Yi: "This third brother, why are you so cautious today? I was thinking of using him to lead the charge."

He Yi changed his expression and said respectfully to Wu Xiufu: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"We'll wait and see what happens for now. This has just begun. Even those who danced most happily at the beginning will not be able to dance until the end."

"Your Highness, now that Concubine Ling is taking over the government temporarily, will it have any impact on us?"

"Hmph, that woman, I tried to get closer to her time and time again, but she didn't know what was good or bad, so don't blame me for being ruthless." Wu Xiufu said, "Didn't she temporarily take over the government? You go Let me tell you that starting from tomorrow, we will be temporarily on vacation. ”

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements right away."

"Go ahead." Wu Xiufu said to He Yi, "Don't worry, it won't be long before those who are a little ambitious can't help but take action."

He Yi bowed respectfully to Wu Xiufu before retreating and walking out.

If others saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked to the extreme. The dignified Minister of Industry would be so respectful to a stupid prince.

Moreover, the object of his bet was not the third prince Wu Xiuxian on the surface, but the seventh prince Wu Xiufu who had always been foolish and stupid.

Now that Emperor Wu is critically ill and a great chaos is coming, the seventh prince, who has been dormant for many years, will finally show his fangs.

Of course, Wu Xiuxian didn't know everything that happened in this room. He never even doubted this younger brother who lived with him day and night and lived under the same roof.

Perhaps, the only person in the world who knows some details about Wu Xiufu is Han Xu, but now Han Xu does not take Wu Xiufu seriously.

He was in his own house, enjoying the massage and food from the three maids, and was very happy.

"Yiyi, long time no see, you are beautiful again." Han Xu said to Bai Yiyi.

"I heard that the women in the southern region are more exotic than the women in the royal city. I wonder if the young master has experienced this during this trip, right?"

Han Xu smiled awkwardly and said, "Young master, am I that kind of person? Qing'er and Yingying can both testify to the conscience of heaven and earth."

Bai Yiyi smiled and said, "So it's because Qing'er and Yingying are in the way, so the young master can't let go."

"Of course not, no, listen to my explanation."

Seeing Han Xu's helpless look, the three maids laughed happily.

In fact, Bai Yiyi was just joking. She and Han Xu kept in touch through the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Note along the way, and knew what kind of bloody storm Han Xu had along the way.

Han Xu asked, "By the way, Zhang He has nothing abnormal during this period, right?"

"No, but I didn't arrange for him to do anything. Zhang He is an extraordinary master and sometimes a member of the Shadow, so he can't be easily allowed to take action."

"Tell me about the situation of the Shadow."

The Shadow is the name of the organization Zhang He belongs to. This is also what Zhang He told Han Xu after he was controlled by the Mirror Flower Water Moon. However, due to time constraints at that time, Han Xu did not ask in depth.

Bai Yiyi said: "According to Zhang He, the Shadow is the most mysterious team directly under the Emperor Wu, and its members cover all walks of life. They have no names and no identities, but each of them is a master selected from a hundred miles away, responsible for completing those things that are not allowed to see the light of the emperor in secret, and also responsible for collecting intelligence from all walks of life in the world, with authority above the Xuanyi Guard."

"Zhang He left the Shadow to investigate the young master, and before he left, his position in the Shadow was second only to their leader."

"Who is their leader?"

"He is a master who has reached the state of unity between man and nature, and his name is Zhuang Cheng."

"Could it be him?" Han Xu showed a surprised expression when he heard Zhuang Cheng's name.

Bai Yiyi asked: "Does the young master know him?"

"It's not that I know him, because only I know him, but he doesn't know me."

I wish all friends who are taking the college entrance examination a successful start
