Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi was determined and Gu Huanxi had no reason to stop him, so the matter was settled.

As for how to achieve his goal, Xu Huaiyi had his own plan. When it came to supporting Xiaoyu to enter the court to observe politics, Han Jun was his most steadfast ally. After dinner, he strolled to a remote small courtyard in a corner of the marquis's mansion.

Han Jun had been waiting for him for a long time.

The two sat opposite each other. No one was in a hurry to speak at first. They drank two cups of tea in silence before Han Jun opened his mouth, "I have already told the emperor..."

Xu Huaiyi looked up at him, "What is the emperor's attitude?"

Han Jun hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I am a little unhappy, but after I explained and made up for you, the emperor let it go. Don't worry, he will not grant marriage to you directly in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "After hearing what you said, how can I still feel at ease?"

"Huai Yi, don't think too much..."

Han Jun subconsciously wanted to explain, but Xu Huaiyi raised his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, you don't have to cover up for him. As early as when I asked you to help find him, I actually guessed the result. I can imagine what his reaction would be. It's nothing more than the same few things, such as greed, arrogance, and repaying favors, arrogance, and ignorance. Maybe he is suspected of being too meritorious and committing insubordination, right?"

Han Jun's expression changed, "It's not as serious as you say. I know who you are, and he also knows you, so why would he look at you like that?

What does it mean to be so successful that it threatens the master?

Can you just say that casually?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled indifferently, "Why are you so nervous? It's just the two of us here, and what we say won't be heard by third parties. Can't we just chat openly?"

Han Jun lowered his voice and said, "You can't just say that your achievements are too great to be feared by your master. This is a taboo."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "But it's true. Isn't he afraid of me?"

Han Jun thought of what Emperor Yongping said, his brows furrowed, and he lost his confidence when he spoke, "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of. You are no longer in charge of the military power. Although you are in charge of the Imperial Guard, it is also a deputy position. There is also Commander Xiao above you, so why should he be afraid of you?

If he was really afraid, why would he want to ask you to marry A Li to be the Crown Princess?

Doesn't that give you more leverage?"

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "Bargain? How do you know that's not a distraction?

Who in the whole capital doesn't know that I love my daughter and treat her like a treasure? He used the position of Crown Princess to lock Ah Li up in the palace. How is this different from using a hostage to hold me hostage? "

"Why is it so?" Han Jun said anxiously, "You really think too much. He did it for Jin'er. First, Jin'er and A'li are childhood sweethearts. He wants to help the two children to be together. Second, he also wants to help Jin'er. You also know that Jin'er has no one behind him. He is weak and alone. How can he sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince in the future?

The little princes in the harem are growing up day by day. Which one of them doesn't keep an eye on Jin'er?

Even if the emperor wants to protect him, he cannot do it alone. If the court officials all prefer other princes to be the crown prince, he has to compromise, otherwise the country will be in turmoil. "

After listening to this, Xu Huaiyi asked mockingly, "Is this how you brainwash yourself?"

Han Jun gritted his teeth, "This is all true, would I lie to you?"

Xu Huaiyi said with a "Pooh" sound, "You can fool others with this, but you are too young to fool me. As you said, he is doing this for Xiaoyu's good, to secure Xiaoyu's position as the crown prince. Wouldn't it be better to find someone else for marriage?

I have always supported Xiaoyu. Others may not know, but he knows it clearly. Why does he need to use marriage to persuade me to work for Xiaoyu?

I have no other choice at all!

If he really wanted to make plans for Xiaoyu, he should have chosen a good marriage for her, such as the eldest granddaughters of several cabinet ministers or the daughters of the six ministers. Whoever got the big pie of becoming the Crown Princess would not run around for Xiaoyu with all their heart and soul?

If we choose two concubines from powerful families, it will be easy for Xiaoyu to win over several groups of helpers and consolidate the prince's camp. Isn't that the end?

How simple!

But did he do it?

No, instead, he let my Ah Li waste the title of Crown Princess. You said he was doing this for Xiao Yu's own good, even a fool wouldn't believe it!"

Han Jun's face turned paler and paler, and his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

Yes, it was such a simple truth, how could Emperor Yongping not understand it? As an emperor, he understood this better than anyone else, but he didn't do it!

Using a marriage arrangement is not only to test Xu Huaiyi, but also to guard against Jin'er.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "Xiaoyu is not young anymore, she can even get married, but he still puts her in the upper study room to study. What is she studying? What is there to learn? Others may not know, but doesn't he know who Xiaoyu's student is?

Xiaoyu has been following Mr. Jiang for three years. In Mr. Jiang's words, if he was not so young, he could have taken the examination for a scholar the year he entered the palace. Being an emperor does not require taking the imperial examination, so is it really useful to learn so many classics, history, and literature?

If he really cared about Xiaoyu and had plans for him, he should have paved the way for Xiaoyu, but did he do that? "

Han Jun's pupils shrank, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "You, you don't want Jin'er to come to the court to observe government affairs, do you?"

Xu Huaiyi asked calmly, "Shouldn't it be?"

Han Jun swallowed hard, "You are challenging his authority..."

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "It's not like I'm asking outsiders to observe politics. Xiaoyu is his biological son and the heir chosen by Dayong. If he has the heart, he should have mentioned it on his own initiative, not provoked. I'm just asking Xiaoyu to exercise his legal rights."

Hearing this, Han Jun's expression changed again, "You, you have already told Jin'er?"

Xu Huaiyi said "hmm" casually.

Han Jun said anxiously, "How can you say such a thing? Aren't you deliberately exacerbating the conflict between the father and son?"

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "If I don't say anything, there will be no conflict between them? Why bother to deceive yourself and others and whitewash the situation? As long as Xiaoyu wants to take the throne, this conflict will always exist. You don't want Xiaoyu to be the crown prince for life, do you?"

Han Jun choked, and after a while, he said dejectedly, "There's no need to be so anxious..."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Is it urgent? Haven't you been preparing for five years? Don't tell me, in these five years, you did nothing but help the emperor do the dirty work."

"I……"

"If you're a real man, just be frank and tell me about this. Are you going to do it?"

Seeing his impatient expression, Han Jun smiled bitterly and said, "You have no choice, but do I, as your uncle, have one? It is reasonable and logical for us to stand together with Jin'er."

Xu Huaiyi spread his hands, "That's all right, you look so conflicted, is it really that difficult?"

Han Jun sighed, "How can this be easy? The emperor is no longer the King of Qi a few years ago. At that time, I could ask him with confidence. After he ascended the throne, Jin'er was the crown prince. But now, what identity can I use to talk to him? Uncle? It won't work. He has no shortage of civil officials and military generals now, so how can he take me, his uncle, seriously?

The little bit of guilt and gratitude from the past is long gone.

Believe it or not, if I propose to him to attend the imperial court to observe government affairs on behalf of Xiaoyu, he will definitely not agree. Even if he does not openly turn hostile to me, he will definitely remember me secretly, and he might even think of some way to send me away..."

"I believe it!" Xu Huaiyi looked at him teasingly, "Now that there is a new uncle-in-law, you, the former uncle-in-law, will certainly fall out of favor. Think about it more positively. It is human nature to get tired of the old and love the new. The emperor is no exception, haha!"

Han Jun, "..."

After teasing for a while, Xu Huaiyi asked seriously, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

Han Jun frowned and thought, "I'm afraid it's useless to appeal to his emotions and reason with him. The only thing left is to force him to agree due to the situation."

Xu Huaiyi's heart moved, and he asked calmly, "What's the situation?"

Han Jun snorted unwillingly, "How could you not know?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head seriously.

Han Jun didn't believe it, but he didn't argue anymore. He whispered his plan and asked at the end, "What do you think?"

Xu Huaiyi said with a complicated expression, "I underestimated you. You have really not been idle these years. You have been busy doing great things!"

Han Jun's expression froze, "Are you mocking me?"

"No, it's not sarcasm, it's sincere praise and emotion..." Xu Huaiyi's face was sincere, with a bit of smile and curiosity in his eyes, "How did you get hold of their handles?"

Han Jun said dimly, "It's not convenient to reveal the ability to eat at home."

Xu Huaiyi nodded in understanding, "Okay, then I won't ask."

"Do you think it's feasible?"

"It's feasible. With so many ministers requesting the Crown Prince to come to the court to observe government affairs, can the Emperor continue to ignore them?"

Han Jun said tentatively, "However, there are still a few important people missing. If we can get Prime Minister Sun and Mr. Jiang to speak up, then this matter will be set in stone and there will be no more variables."

Xu Huaiyi glanced at him and said, "You have a good idea, but don't think about it again in the future."

Han Jun, "..."

"The Sun family never takes sides. Do you think that if I ask for a favor, the master will give me face? That's too naive. As for Mr. Jiang, I don't have the face to ask him, and I can't say anything. What's the reason for asking him to help Xiaoyu for no reason? Can you reveal Xiaoyu's true identity? If not, what's the matter with me asking for a favor for no reason?"

Han Jun was speechless.

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "You want it, and you want it all. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"

Han Jun sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm too greedy!"

Xu Huaiyi added, "If everyone speaks for Xiaoyu, it won't be a good thing. If he is so popular, wouldn't the emperor be even more worried?

Only by leaving room for maneuver can we advance and retreat freely. "

Han Jun nodded, and asked him curiously, "What was your original plan? Don't say you didn't think about how to send Jin'er to the court to observe government affairs."

Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "I originally wanted to find something to put pressure on him, so that he would take the initiative to pull Xiaoyu into the court, to help him share his worries or take the blame. In short, I would first integrate into that circle, and then slowly build a solid foundation and gradually replace his power."

Han Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then your method is better than mine. It doesn't involve a quarrel. If it works well, maybe he can even feel a little guilty towards Jin'er. Then, he can teach Jin'er a lesson in the future. Tell me, what is your specific plan?"

Xu Huaiyi kept it a secret, "Use yours first, and then use mine. We have a lot of tough battles to fight later. If we use up all our money at once, how can we play? We have to keep some cards in reserve."

Han Jun was stunned, "Do we have to continue to fight him later?"

"What else?" Xu Huaiyi looked at him calmly, "Going to the court to observe politics is just the beginning, not the end. There will definitely be conflicts and confrontations in the future."

Han Jun fell silent for a moment.

Xu Huaiyi stood up and said, "We don't want to see father and son go to that step, but as members of the royal family, isn't this their fate?

Generation after generation, no one can escape it. How did the King of Qi ascend to the throne? Have you forgotten it? If Xiaoyu wants to become an emperor in the future, the fierceness of his struggle will probably be no less.

You should have more courage than me to make a desperate move! Why are you hesitant when the time comes? "

Han Jun closed his eyes, "I was lucky and complacent. Don't worry, I won't do that again. You work in the open, and I'll work in the dark. Together, we can send Jin'er to the throne. How do you think?"

The last few sentences finally showed some decisiveness and courage, and Xu Huaiyi agreed and left.
