Get out of the way, the prime minister is mine!

Liu Feiran led Song Ran into the study, Gu Yu served tea, and then stood behind Liu Feiran as a log.

This morning, Song Ran outside Changhong Palace asked straightforwardly, and Liu Feiran knew how generals behave, so he didn't beat around the bush, and asked straightforwardly, "I don't know why General Song sent someone to protect that iron tree?"

Song Ran picked up the tea and took a sip, then asked with a smile, "Master Liu also said that it was to protect him."

"Is it because of what happened to General Xu back then, so someone wants to kill him?" Liu Feiran asked with narrowed eyes.

When Liu Feiran mentioned the matter of General Xu, Song Ran's face sank, "General Xu was defeated and the survivors returned home, but there were various accidents. When I knew about this, I immediately sent someone to To protect those soldiers, but it was a step too late."

"The Iron Tree was the only person I could protect in time when I sent people there. It was I who tricked the people over there into thinking that the Iron Tree was dead, which saved his life."

Liu Feiran asked: "So General Song also thought that there was something strange about General Xu?"

"Master Liu thinks the same way?" Song Ran raised his eyebrows, "To be honest, General Xu is my mentor. If it wasn't for him, I would have died on the battlefield long ago. It is said that the general chased after him due to a mistake in judgment. I don't believe it at all!"

"Then, does General Song know about the fact that the vagrants were rectified and formed a team to invade our country?"

Song Ran nodded, "I know, Tie Shu said it. I also know that the general left the city because of saving Gan Yong."

Liu Feiran asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't you report this matter to His Majesty, and get rid of General Xu?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but it's useless!" Song Ran said angrily: "The vagrants cooperated, and the general sent someone to report and was intercepted. No one knew the news. Afterwards, all the general's soldiers were defeated, and the vagrants went into the city to rob food. Although there are many people, how many of the common people know how many vagrants have entered the city?"

"Before Shi Lie counterattacked, they withdrew most of the soldiers, leaving the illusion that there was only one enemy army. Shi Lie insisted that there were only about [-] soldiers, so what can I do! Without evidence, even if Tieshu stood up So what? It will only kill him!"

Liu Feiran let out a breath, and asked: "So you secretly protect the iron tree, and on the other side, you are trying to find the evidence from the past?"

"Yes, I have inquired about news from Gan Yong many times, but I have never gotten any useful information. I just know that Gan Yong's legs are obviously useless, and there are not many fertile farms and shops that can make money at home, but it seems that he has countless properties. Make him squander, Mei Jiao'e raised a whole yard." When Song Ran mentioned this, he clenched his fists tightly, "I know there must be something wrong with Gan Yong, but I can't find out how."

"I also asked people to check on Gan Yong's side. Since he has a problem with his income, let's start from this aspect." Liu Feiran's staff there had already returned to report the news, and at this time, he also shared it with Song Ran. , "My people found out that every year someone would give Gan Yong a sum of money."

"Who is it?" Song Ran asked hastily.

Liu Feiran shook his head, "I haven't found out yet, but it should be someone from your side. I have nothing to do with your side, so I can only hand it over to General Song."

Song Ran replied, "No problem, but who is Master Liu suspecting, please give me a category, so I won't be blinded."

Liu Feiran said slowly: "General Shi Lie of the Town Army, General Mu Pan of Zhengbei, and General Fan Xin of the Chinese Army. These three people are the most likely to have something to do with Gan Yong. Among them, Shi Lie is the most likely, because He was the closest to Xicang back then, and after the defeat of General Xu, he took over Xicang again."

"Mu Pan is Shi Lie's brother-in-law, and Mu Pan was brought up by the Taiwei." Song Ran is not a fool, he has already seen through this relationship, "That is to say, this matter, I'm afraid It has something to do with the Taiwei."

Liu Feiran nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation of this matter.Song Ran let out a breath, exhaled hot and white, as if he was suppressing a heavy heart, "Sure enough, it has something to do with him. Once the general dies, there will be no one among the military officers who can compete with him."

"So our ultimate goal is to defeat the Taiwei." Liu Feiran lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, narrowing his eyes slightly, "General Song, send Tieshu to Qicheng. It's time to close the net."

Song Ran was startled, and looked at Liu Feiran.Liu Feiran's handsome face became more and more beautiful under the candlelight, but those peach blossom eyes seemed deep and incomprehensible when they lowered their eyelids slightly.

Song Ran laughed, "Okay, I'll just trust Master Liu once."

Since the night talk between Liu Feiran and Song Ran passed away, it will be the Spring Festival in a few days.According to the usual practice, Liu Feiran still had to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.

It has been a year since last year's palace banquet, and this year is really too busy.The court with frequent situations is constantly undercurrent, and conspiracy and tricks are like silent swords, guns and swords. If you don't pay attention, you will be swallowed up to pieces.

After Liu Feiran paid respects to his father, he changed into the official residence and entered the palace.

This time when entering the palace, Zhang Xin did not encounter trouble, because Zhang Xin and his wife did not enter the palace this time.Liu Feiran knew about this, obviously because he had gotten along with Jiang Ziliu beforehand.

There is no better time to do it than tonight.

In the imperial garden, Liu Feiran smiled and chatted with his colleagues in the court. Under the red lanterns, everyone was smiling and festive.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuchen came in, and many people noticed, and they all saluted, "Your Highness."

For a year, no one seemed to have changed, but Liu Feiran thought of Chu Yuchen at the palace banquet last year, and felt that she was the only person who had not been forgotten by time.

During this year, she has grown a lot taller, and her eyebrows and eyes have also opened up a bit. The big and innocent eyes that were originally watery and innocent have become a little more stable since I don't know when.She has grown a little taller, and it is more obvious that her temperament has changed.

A year ago, she was still casual as a princess, and a year later, she was full of dignity in her gestures.

"Chen'er is polite." Chu Yuchen returned the greeting with his obedient appearance, and then walked towards Liu Feiran. Seeing Liu Feiran looking at her, she nodded calmly, and then she smiled innocently. Romantic, "Young Fu."

"Your Highness." Liu Feiran saluted and said with a smile, "Your Highness is one year older."

"Well, after the new year, Chen'er will be nine years old." Chu Yuchen smiled with his eyes bent.

Zhang Zhenqiu happened to pass by here, and when he heard Chu Yuchen's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness will grow up soon, and then he will be able to help the emperor."

Zhang Zhenqiu's words seemed unintentional, but Liu Feiran thought of one thing.Chuwen Hao's physical discomfort has gradually spread in the palace. After all, paper can't contain fire, which is also expected.If you think about it, you can know that Zhang Zhenqiu must have known about this matter, and I don't know how he feels.

"Taiwei is right." Chu Yuchen replied with a smile.

Zhang Zhenqiu just said a few words, and then left.Liu Feiran looked at his back, and said slowly: "Your Highness, beware of King Zhen."

Chu Yuchen didn't expect that Chu Yuchen would mention this name suddenly, but asked in puzzlement, "Why does Shao Fu look at the Taiwei's figure and say King Zhen?"

"I just remembered that His Majesty was injured in the hunting ground before. Now it is no secret that His Majesty is in poor health. I am afraid that King Zhen will act secretly."

One thing after another piled up, and Chu Yuchen couldn't help feeling a little stressed.Even though he was so young, he couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief at this time, "No one in Chen'er has noticed the traces of King Zhen, so I can only remind my father about this matter."

Sensing the pressure of Chu Yuchen's sigh, Liu Feiran patted her on the shoulder lightly, and comforted her softly: "Although the road ahead is difficult, I will definitely walk with Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't be discouraged."

Chu Yuchen likes Liu Feiran like this, as if nothing in the world can defeat her.She nodded with a smile, "Yes, Chen'er knows."

"As long as things are resolved one by one, we are taking this step. If this step is implemented, we can go further." Liu Feiran pointed to the direction of Xicang, which represented the chaos in the military forces status.

Chu Yuchen nodded and was about to speak when he heard the eunuch say, "Your Majesty is here—"

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up, you don't have to be polite." Chu Wenhao walked over slowly, waved his hands casually, and said without any airs.

Behind Chu Wenhao are the only two concubines in the harem, Saiyiti and Bai Yi.Saiyiti still looked charming and enchanting, but when she looked at Chu Wenhao, there was some resentment in her eyes.

Thinking about it, Saiyiti is a stunning beauty, enchanting and charming, I don't know how many men fall in love with her.But Chu Wenhao was the only one who completely ignored her beauty and never had sex with him for so long.On the contrary, Bai Yi, who was often favored, really made it hard for her to swallow this breath.

However, even though Bai Yi was favored, his stomach didn't move at all, and Saiyiti had to wonder if Chu Wenhao, the real dragon emperor, was still a man.

Bai Yi is not pregnant, which is really normal. Although Chu Wenhao dotes on her, the two of them have not actually had a relationship.Chu Wenhao's body is weak, coupled with his busy state affairs and someone in his heart, he went to Baiyi Palace just to silence the people.

At this time, Bai Yi secretly looked towards the courtiers, and he saw Liu Feiran wearing a scarlet official uniform.

Since the hunting ground, Bai Yi never had the chance to see Liu Feiran again. Seeing her again at this time, her tall and handsome figure immediately made her excited and timid at the same time.

She didn't dare to think about any possibility, but just sneaked a few more greedy glances, trying to imprint this person's figure in her heart.

"It's another Spring Festival, alas, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and you have worked hard this year."

Although Prime Minister Qin was old, his voice was still resounding, and he said: "Your Majesty has worked hard for the country and the people. I am not as good as your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty is diligent and caring for the people, which is really a blessing to our country."

All the officials complimented him, but Chu Wenhao was about to speak when he coughed.He hasn't been suppressing his illness recently, anyway, people who shouldn't know know about it.He covered his mouth under everyone's worried eyes, and waved his hands nonchalantly, "I'm fine, let's have a feast."

The palace music began to play, and accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, the maids and eunuchs brought the prepared meals to the table.

Talking and laughing, the sound of bowls, and the interlacing of toasts, everything seemed so lively and harmonious.Chu Wenhao was in a good mood today. After drinking some wine, he saw Zhang Zhenqiu drinking heartily from the corner of his eyes, so he smiled and said, "I have heard that the Taiwei is not drunk for a thousand cups, but I don't believe it. Who can drink the Taiwei tonight?" Drunk, I have a reward!"

When all the ministers heard this, they burst into laughter. Chu Wenhao was also laughing, and raised his glass, "I'll start first. Come on, Taiwei, I'll toast you."

Zhang Zhenqiu was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up in panic, "I don't dare."

But Chu Wenhao had already drank over there, so Zhang Zhenqiu didn't dare to hesitate, and finished the wine in one gulp.

Chu Wenhao smiled and said: "I have already started for you, and I will leave the rest to you."

The emperor opened his mouth, and the ministers naturally did not dare to shirk.Think about it, how can I have the opportunity to drink him tomorrow?Immediately, he raised his glass with a smile and walked towards Zhang Zhenqiu.

Zhang Zhenqiu couldn't shirk it, so he could only drink one by one, and got very drunk.

Liu Feiran looked at this scene from the corner of his eye, a gentle smile slowly bloomed on the corner of his lips, and said softly: "Your Highness, I would like to respect you."

Chu Yuchen also drank a few more glasses of fruit wine, and when he became drunk, he raised his glass stupidly, "Toast, Shao Fu."
