Lu Hanjiang was not too surprised. This was not the first person who had secretly poked in front of him and stated that he wanted to join forces to deal with Meihua Academy.
Lu Hanjiang's only impression of this sixth prince seemed to be that he was the employer of his cheap senior brother Chu Wei. Apart from that, he heard that this sixth prince was also well-known among literati, so it was natural that he could not sit still.
In the few months since he returned to Beijing, the East Palace and Meihua Academy have become closer and closer, but this is the Crown Princess's wishful thinking. Of course, few people except Lu Hanjiang can see the meaning behind this.
After all, the teacher-student friendship between the Crown Princess and Luo Yuanjing is not fake, and the brother-sister relationship with Acting Dean Qi Yunzhou is even more visible to everyone.
No one would believe that she would give up such a big help so easily.
So these days, all those who have trouble with the East Palace, including the princes and courtiers, use all their strength here.
Even though Lu Hanjiang was living a relaxed and comfortable life in his own home, which seemed to be a harmonious scene, in fact, the capital just across the street from him was already in a storm. In the month after Qi Yunzhou arrived in the capital alone, several officials were dismissed.
The reason all lies in Meihua Academy. Because of the Crown Princess's efforts to win over her, and based on the principle of either friend or enemy, everyone wants to get rid of this academy.
Ever since the location of the new academy was chosen, some people began to make evil mistakes. At first, the location of the new academy was in the capital city, and then the place just chosen was burned down by fire overnight.
Fortunately, the students from Meihua Academy, led by Qi Yunzhou, evaded alertly, so no casualties were caused.
Afterwards, we selected several places in Beijing, but as a result, some people either caused trouble or secretly vandalized them. Later, even stories of ghosts came out.
In this series of twists and turns, the unlucky Jingzhao governor was directly dismissed from his post, the city gate guard patrol camp was also implicated, and countless officials were demoted and fined.
Afterwards, the Crown Princess seemed to have changed her mind. Instead of choosing a location in the city, she focused on several wealthy counties around Gyeonggi Province. Then there was another round of brutal official changes.
The magistrates and county magistrates in the older one were all unlucky to be sacked one after another. In the younger one, even the county magistrate and the chief clerk were removed. The forces from all sides were ruthless in their moves and did not give the East Palace the slightest chance.
Jin Yiwei watched this smoky fight with cold eyes. Although many people came to persuade them, either promising huge profits or talking about righteousness, asking them to help, but they were all rejected.
.
This is not surprising. Everyone knows the conflict between the East Palace and Jin Yiwei. If His Highness Yu ascends the throne one day, the decline of Jin Yiwei will be a matter of time.
But the Jin Yiwei remained indifferent. No matter how everyone tried to persuade them, they seemed determined to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
However, it cannot be said that there was no action at all. After Lu Hanjiang saw the opportunity in the risk, Meng Yuan also adopted his suggestion and secretly placed some of his own people in the vacant positions.
Apart from this, the Jinyiwei made no other moves, which made the forces who wanted to profit from it sigh. If the Jinyiwei refused to take the lead, they had no choice but to do it themselves.
Now this brawl has been going on for several months, and the new location of the academy has been chosen again and again, but there is still no result. Although this brawl has not come to an end, it can already be seen that both sides suffer.
It doesn't seem right to say that. In addition to losing some of the prestige of the Crown Princess, the rest of the risks and costs are all borne by Meihua Academy.
Acting Dean Qi Yunzhou, who was treated as a pawn, had to fight on the front line every day and was taken turns to serve by the big shots in the capital. He now seemed to be more than ten years older than when he first entered the capital.
This brawl was also an eye-opener for everyone. All parties showed their magical powers, including arson, poisoning, ghosts, rogues, and slander. They did everything they could, just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, which made Lu Hanjiang watch a big show.
That Qi Yunzhou does have some abilities. Without relying on the Crown Princess, he actually managed to withstand the pressure from all forces on his own. He is a character.
It seems that Lu Hanjiang also saw his thoughts. He just wanted to be alone, but because of his lack of moral integrity, he was directly tied to the chariot by the Crown Princess. He wanted to stay out, but the road ahead was doomed.
This Qi Yunzhou looks a bit like Luo Yuanjing. He seems shameless and does whatever he wants, but in fact he takes some rules too seriously, which makes him lose his flexibility.
What he is doing now is like using a fan to put out a fire, or like the swallow building its nest on the soft curtain, which will be in danger when the wind blows.
If it had been Lu Hanjiang, he would have decisively turned around and hugged the Crown Princess's legs at this time, not letting go, and directly leading the fire back. This not only repaid the Crown Princess, but also earned a way out.
Rather than being crushed into scum by the forces of the princes, it is better to gamble on the possibility of His Highness Yu ascending to the throne. It is a pity that Dean Qi Dai wanted to distance himself from the Crown Princess, but he did not expect that doing so would truly follow her.
Mind.
However, whatever happened to the academy would not hinder Lu Hanjiang. Now that Meng Yuan was in charge of the capital, he kept an eye on the Crown Princess. After the last miscalculation, the old man's attention to the Crown Princess had increased several levels.
Lu Hanjiang, on the other hand, monitors the entire Jianghu and does not let go of those Jianghu forces who are ready to take action.
As he expected, the Crown Princess's attack this time should be in the Jianghu. Now the Jin Yiwei's spy network and the Huangfu family's hidden Jianghu intelligence network are engaged in a foggy confrontation.
Both sides are carefully hiding themselves and boldly exploring each other to find out the other's flaws one step ahead.
As far as her acting style is concerned, the Crown Princess uses the world as a chessboard and plays a game of layout. All parties are criss-crossing each other in order to use the small to win the big, and use the Xuantian Sect's Huangfu family as the basis to leverage the entire world.
Lu Hanjiang, on the other hand, plays whack-a-mole. Compared with the princess's hidden layers and constant fog, he concentrates all his power and simplifies the game process. As soon as the opponent's power emerges, he will directly strike with a thunderous blow.
.
What the two are competing for now is a time difference. If Lu Hanjiang breaks up the Crown Princess's power first, then His Highness Yu may completely lose the support left by the former Crown Prince in the world and become a weak grandson ranked last.
The upper hand may be minimal.
And if the Crown Princess completes the layout first, Jin Yiwei's power in the world will be curbed, and he may lose control of the entire world.
After all, it is impossible to wipe out all Jianghu sects with the Jinyiwei's own military strength alone without dispatching troops to suppress them.
However, it is worth mentioning that no matter whether it is Lu Hanjiang or the Crown Princess, these Jianghu forces seem to have no good results in their plans. The former can sum up his feelings about them in one word, monkey, while the latter thinks it is okay.
use.
Now, the Crown Princess sent a letter left by the guest from Hongchen. As a sincerity to "seek peace", Lu Hanjiang accepted the letter and planned to decipher the secrets contained in it.
Lu Hanjiang didn't know what the Crown Princess needed this treasure for, but he understood that if he wanted to uncover the hidden power of the Crown Princess, finding this secret treasure was one way to go.
The two of them had reached a tacit understanding at this moment, and both set their sights on the key figure A Lan. At this moment, this girl was not in Southern Shaolin, but suddenly took a detour to another place, the Sword Making Villa.
