"Mr. Xingyun, Sister Xu, what are you talking about? How could Sister Jin be a traitor to the First Grade Academy? I used to practice medicine to save people, and she often provided me with precious medicinal materials. There is no way she could harm the academy."
"Miss Beiyan is kind and honest. She only sees suffering patients and does not deliberately speculate on people's hearts. She is truly the nature of a benevolent doctor. Unlike some little women with ulterior motives who know their tricks all day long." Zhou Xingyun
He pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and cast a faint glance at Xu Zhiqian.
"Young Master, this is an award. Compared to your medical ethics, Beiyan is beyond compare." Qin Beiyan lowered her head shyly, like a little girl who felt embarrassed after being praised by her teacher.
"Senior Brother Xingyun won't help the Sixteenth Prince?" Xu Zhiqian asked weakly. Since Zhou Xingyun told everyone that Jin Run'er was a traitor, he would naturally not go against the current Crown Prince Han Feng.
Xu Zhiqian entered the room just now. The first thing she did was not care about Zhou Xingyun, but pretend to warn him. It was just because Han Feng was present. She hoped that Zhou Xingyun would be careful in his words and deeds and not make rude words to anger Han Feng.
Who would have known that Zhou Xingyun not only failed to understand her good intentions, but was also so bold as to irritate Han Feng with his wild words. He was really not afraid of being labeled a traitor and regretting it for the rest of his life. Or... was Zhou Xingyun actually measuring Han Feng's tolerance for popularity?
Xu Zhiqian seems to have a high opinion of Zhou Xingyun. Just now, Zhou Xingyun was jealous just because he saw her and Qin Beiyan standing behind Han Feng...
Now Zhou Xingyun recalled his previous speech and couldn't help but feel a little scared. He was so bold that he shouted in front of the prince that he wanted to rebel! Fortunately, Han Feng is a good and compassionate man, otherwise he would be miserable.
"Brother Han is my good brother. If I don't help him, who will help him? Moreover, the sixteenth prince of the emperor is obviously not a good person. He forced me to swallow poison and swear a poisonous oath as soon as we met. How can I let him be the emperor in this world?
"
"Brother Zhou, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to be an enemy of the sixteenth brother..." Han Feng sighed dejectedly. Since ancient times, how many brothers have killed each other in the struggle for power in the royal family? If the sixteenth brother is really like what everyone said, he formed a clique for personal gain.
Conspiracy and rebellion, no matter who wins in the end, it is not good news for him.
"To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. If the Sixteenth Emperor's rebellion succeeds, with his vicious nature, not only will you die, Brother Han, but even those who follow you will probably implicate the nine clans. On the contrary, Brother Han's house
He is kind-hearted, and if he can successfully ascend the throne, he will be lenient, put the sixteen princes under house arrest for life, and recruit his subordinates to avoid a bloody catastrophe."
Zhou Xingyun's explanations were clear and logical. Among the strange knowledge he inherited in the past, there were many novels, movies, and historical stories about the struggle for imperial power, so the deception was reasonable and well-founded. Han Feng nodded silently, and even Xu Zhiqian was bewitched by his words.
He said with admiration: "Senior Brother Xingyun is right. Only the winner can dominate everything. The only way to avoid this bloody catastrophe and allow those implicated to be redeemed is for Mr. Han to ascend the throne and become the king of this imperial power struggle.
The winner."
"That's all we can do now." Han Feng sighed again, while Xu Zhiqian was confused and called softly in a sweet and sweet voice: "Xing~Yun~Senior Brother."
"You screamed so disgustingly, what did you say you were going to do? It made my hair stand on end."
"Now the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor is planning to rebel. Aren't you going to help your brother Han make plans?"
Zhou Xingyun had previously claimed that he would use all possible means to make the sixteenth prince proclaim emperor. Xu Zhiqian expressed her curiosity as to why he could make such bold words.
"Ahem, well... I don't understand the situation between North Korea and China at all at the moment, so I can't make a detailed plan. Why don't you first tell me your opinion on what we should do as a top priority."
Zhou Xingyun didn't understand officialdom battles at all. He had made false claims before and was just bragging in front of beautiful women to show off. Xu Zhiqian had no idea if she really believed him.
"Senior Brother Xingyun, our current situation is not optimistic. Zhiqian is very weak..."
"Wait... Zhiqian, what did you just say? Our situation is not optimistic? Could it be that the situation between North Korea and China is because the Han brothers are honest and easy to bully, which has led to all the civil and military officials to be optimistic about the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor, but in the end few people are willing to help him ascend the throne?
?”
Zhou Xingyun suddenly thought of a very critical issue. Han Feng's aura was too weak and he did not have the legendary bastard's aura. On the other hand, the Sixteenth Emperor's son was ruthless and aggressive. Just standing in front of him yesterday, Zhou Xingyun felt cold in his heart.
Comparing one's feelings with others, if he were in the government and the opposition and faced with an appeal, he would either remain neutral or follow the Sixteenth Prince. Anyway, the current prince is compassionate, and challenging him may not necessarily lead to death, but with the Sixteenth Prince,
If you do the opposite, you will definitely die without a place to die.
"You can't say that. Mr. Han has both political integrity and talent, and many loyal and good people in the court are willing to assist him."
"However, most of these loyal and good men are amiable old men who don't have the skills to fight against treacherous ministers alone. Otherwise, the eldest princess wouldn't have to go to great lengths to set up a first-class academy and recruit talented people from all over the world to make suggestions and assist the prince. Junior sister Zhi Qian,
After carefully comparing the strengths of both sides, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck. Brother Han's chance of winning seemed to be less than 30%."
Zhou Xingyun's advanced ideas have already predicted the outcome of the fight between Han Feng and the sixteenth prince for the throne. Without the help of capable people, Han Feng will undoubtedly lose.
"Master Xingyun, forgive Beiyan for being stupid, the first-grade academy has always only specialized in studying and discussing various academic subjects, how can it be said that it is assisting the crown prince to ascend the throne?"
"Miss Beiyan, you are so innocent. After being sold, you foolishly count money for others. Let me use you as an example. Does the eldest princess often ask you to help dignitaries see doctors?"
"how do you know?"
"Haha, little junior sister Zhiqian, come and explain to me, who is the ultimate beneficiary when Miss Qin treats a high-ranking official?" Zhou Xingyun looked at Xu Zhiqian with a half-smile but not a smile. The eldest princess could not escape his eyes with her little tricks.
.
"The ultimate beneficiary is His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Zhiqian pouted. As Qin Beiyan is a disciple of a first-grade academy, and the person who established a first-grade academy is the eldest princess, those who benefit from it will naturally stand with the eldest princess.
, support the crown prince’s ascension to the throne.
After Xu Zhiqian explained this, Qin Beiyan finally realized that it turned out that Han Qiumiao was so kind to her and provided a free place for her to specialize in medical skills, which was actually profitable.
"A first-class academy, a holy place for scholars? Oops, am I hallucinating? This is clearly an ulterior royal organization! Its purpose is to attract talents to help a certain prince ascend the throne. Brother Han, are you right?" Zhou Xingyun teased sinisterly.
Han Feng.
From the moment he talked about First Grade Academy, Han Feng lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Smart people could see that he felt guilty. If the eldest princess wanted to assist such a shameless imperial brother to rise to power, she would really kill countless brain cells...
"Senior Brother Xingyun, let's not talk about this matter for now. Zhiqian suddenly thought of a clever plan that can turn Mr. Han's situation into danger, or even turn defeat into victory." Xu Zhiqian was deeply afraid that Zhou Xingyun didn't understand the general situation, so she kept sarcastic towards Han Feng, causing him to suffer repeated setbacks and lose confidence. I had no choice but to change the subject so that His Highness the Crown Prince could relax his mood.
No one is perfect, only the benevolent have their way.
Xu Zhiqian originally did not want to get involved in this imperial power dispute. A few months ago, she even took the initiative to stay away from the capital and a first-grade academy, hoping to wait for the prince to ascend the throne before making other plans.
However, Han Feng's appearance made her shaken.
Xu Zhiqian was very clever. Within a few months of her leaving the capital, the eldest princess Han Qiumiao found something to do. She asked her to meet friends in Fujing City and recruit capable and wise men to join a first-class academy. If there is no mystery in this, it is really inconsistent. The true nature of Princess Yongming.
The result is predictable. Xu Zhiqian browsed through many essays and soon found a chapter that stood out from the crowd with outstanding literary talent. Looking at the signature Han Feng at the end, it was not difficult for her to guess that this person was the current prince Han Yongfeng.
After some contact, Xu Zhiqian discovered that Han Feng was a benevolent person. Although he was not good at scheming in the city, he was a man who cared about the common people of the world. He was a rare and upright emperor. On the other hand, the sixteenth son of the emperor was greedy for power, wealth, and lust. He raised more than a hundred singers, drank and had fun all day long, formed cliques for personal gain, wooed all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China, and even once forced her to marry him as his concubine. It was really stupid and outrageous.
Those who have gained the right will get more help, while those who have lost the right will get less help. Comparing the two, Xu Zhiqian was immediately shaken and wanted to take the risk to help the prince Han Yongfeng.
However, Xu Zhiqian got an unexpected surprise when she held a literary gathering in Fujing City... Zhou Xingyun's extraordinary essays came into her eyes by accident.
"Little Junior Sister? Little Junior Sister Zhiqian? Hey! What are you thinking about? If you have any good ideas, just tell me immediately. Don't be silent for a long time."
"Zhiqian was rude and made everyone laugh. I just remembered the first time I met Senior Brother Xingyun."
"It's not rude! It's not rude! Little Junior Sister secretly thinks that I'm not rude at all."
"Ahem, let's get back to the business. The Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor thinks that he has won over Senior Brother Xingyun, and we can use this trick to make Senior Brother Xingyun act as an internal agent and disintegrate their power from within."
"Sounds great, the question is how do I dismantle them from the inside?"
Xu Zhiqian said it but didn't say it. The sixteenth son of the emperor has all the power in the government and the public. He has countless capable people under his command. One more person is not more than him, and one person less than him is not too much. What can he use to undermine the other party?
"It's very simple! First of all, Senior Brother Xingyun must perform well and win the trust of the Sixteenth Prince, and then try his best to win over the friends around him, and bite him back at the critical moment. Isn't it very simple?"
"'Don't you think it's very simple?'" Zhou Xingyun imitated Xu Zhiqian's tone and replied with a smile. Then he stood up suddenly, rubbed the girl's head with his index finger and shouted angrily: "Of course it sounds simple to you!"
"It hurts...Senior Brother Xingyun, please be merciful, Zhiqian is not a wooden fish."
"If your brain is not a wooden fish, how can you make such a brainless statement? I have been in Beijing for less than five days and have been an official for less than half a day. Why does the Sixteenth Emperor think highly of me? Although I am an official of the eighth rank, I am in a remote place. The town may be a landowner, but this is the capital. It would be a disaster if I didn’t get the thumbs down for my official position, and I’m trying to instigate the officials around the Sixteenth Prince? You are talking in your dreams, can you find someone more reliable?”
"Zhiqian understands in her heart that this matter is bound to be very dangerous and difficult to handle, but I firmly believe that you, senior brother, can do it." Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhou Xingyun expectantly.
"Don't take me so seriously. I'm just a notorious libertine."
"Master Xingyun, please don't belittle yourself. Beiyan also believes that you can plead for the people and help the crown prince ascend the throne." Qin Beiyan doesn't understand official affairs very well, but she understands that the sixteenth son of the emperor is plotting rebellion, which goes against the benevolence of the people.
