Chapter 194 Like Walking on Thin Ice 25

This time it was Zhao Xin's turn to be stunned. He looked at Ran Min with some surprise and said, "How do you know this?"

Ran Min turned her head and looked at the night sky and said slowly; "My father often told me something about the middle of the court when he had nothing to do. Over time, I also learned something about these things."

Zhao Xin nodded and sighed, "For good, I thought this matter had been widely spread. If so, I'm afraid Zhao will be confused."

"What's the difference?" Ran Min shook her head and said softly.

"Even if it can be hidden for a while, it will spread out sooner or later."

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Now it's all like this. I'm afraid it will only get worse and worse."

Ran Min looked worried and said softly, "How strong will it be?"

Zhao Xin didn't say a word. He just looked up at the starry sky and exhaled for a long time. "Brothers are broken, fighting in the same room."

Ran Min's delicate body was shocked, and incredible eyes appeared in her eyes.

She just knew some court fights from her father, and knew that the power competition between the master's faction and the king's faction was becoming more and more intense, but she never expected that this kind of struggle would rise to the point of bloodshed in the court.

In her opinion, this kind of thing is difficult to understand. The fight between father and son will rise to bloodshed to solve, which is almost incomprehensible in the eyes of an ordinary girl. Moreover, every palace change is accompanied by bloodshed and great purge. Her father is an official in the court and the important Handan order. She can't but worry about her father's safety.

Ran Min became more and more sure that she must try her best to persuade her father to continue to maintain a neutral position and not to turn to either side, but to act in accordance with the system of the State of Zhao. While political speculation brings great rewards, it will also bring worries about life. If you succeed, you can go straight to the clouds. If you fail, it is not a lie to copy the family and destroy your ancestors.

Seeing that her face was pale and worried, Zhao Xin more or less guessed what she was worried about. He smiled and comforted, "You don't have to worry. I haven't heard anything about the Ran County magistrate's turn in the court. He is the magistrate of Handan County and belongs to the lieutenant's mansion. Lieutenant Li Xi is my uncle's brother. From this point of view, he is a member of the royal family. Therefore, even if something happens, it is the responsibility of the lieutenant. The county magistrate of Ran is not ordered to act. I think it will be all right.

"What's more, nine out of ten are inclined to the king today. Even if the master succeeds, it will never be possible to clean up all the court. He will only investigate the first crime, and the rest will not be investigated. After all, if we want to maintain the State of Zhao, we still need government officials.

Ran Min was slightly relieved and looked at Zhao Xin with a strange look, "What about you? Are you following your father to the end, or for your father and uncle?"

Zhao Xin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about. I feel that I'm not a person in the middle now. Mr. Yu, I am the master's father, and the master's father pulled it up, so in the eyes of others, I am naturally the master father. But in private, I am my father's son, and I will never want to be my father's enemy.

Ran Min saw his face of pain, and his heart was suddenly sad, and he asked softly, "So what are you going to do?"

Zhao Xin was silent for a long time, with a bitter smile on his face and said, "What else can you plan? Let's take one step at a time. I am the leader of Yulin beside my father. Naturally, I have to protect my father's safety.

"Hmm." Ran Min nodded.

"Would you like to hear my advice?"

Zhao Xin was stunned. He didn't expect Ran Min to say this. He looked at Ran Min with a surprised expression and said, "What advice?"

"No matter what you choose, you must remember not to stain your hands with blood, especially the blood of the royal family." Ran Min turned her head and looked at Zhao Xin and said seriously word by word.

"You have a special status. No matter which side wins, you will die, unless you do something that the father or the king will kill you."

"I would like to hear more about it." This time it's Zhao Xin's turn to listen attentively to Ran Min.

"Everyone in the country knows that the master is a very easy strange man. In his eyes, even if he has a conflict with his son, it is only a family matter, but if you, an outsider, hurt him and lose his beloved son, even if you are ordered to act under your rights and interests, it will be the cause of death."

"The king, not to mention, now he is forced to stand on the opposite side with his master. If you help him kill his father and brother, he may be grateful to you for the time being, but sooner or later he will have a grudge against you. If you are resented by the King of Zhao, you can imagine your ending in the State of Zhao.

Zhao Xin nodded when he heard the words and said, "What you said is reasonable. The ethical framework is always human nature, not to mention the affectionate people like the master father and the king. It seems that I also need to remind my father not to fall too deeply. Otherwise, even if you win, sooner or later, the winner will find an excuse to avenge his relatives. "

Speaking of this, I couldn't help looking at Ran Min and said, "I didn't expect you, a girl, to have such insight. I really admire you."

Ran Min smiled and said, "I don't have any knowledge. I'm just a fan of bystanders. Naturally, you don't have my heart outside the bureau. In fact, the dispute between the Lord and the king is only a matter between their father and son in the final analysis. You people are just a trend. The master father and the king are not kings without tolerance, so as long as you are not too deep, even if you fail, you may not be in the risk of life. It is nothing more than demotion and exile.

"As for you, you don't have to worry about it. Whether it's the master's victory or the king's victory, your family doesn't seem to be affected. It's really right. So you can rest assured. There is no need to worry so much. As long as you remember my words, don't get blood on your hands, which is enough to protect yourself.

Zhao Xin nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, I remember what you said." Ran Min smiled sweetly.

This was a gust of night wind. Ran Min couldn't help shivering and subconsciously shrank her shoulders. Only then did Zhao Xin notice that she was wearing only a single dress, which was okay during the day. Naturally, she couldn't support it when the wind was high at night. He came forward and held Ran Min's shoulder and said, "It's windy here. Why don't you go back to the house and have a rest first?" It's getting late, and I'm almost leaving."

Ran Min hesitated for a moment, nodded with a melancholy expression and whispered, "Okay."

After sending Ran Min back to the room, Zhao Xin also said goodbye to her and turned around to leave the window. After a few steps, Zhao Xin slowly stopped, turned around to meet Ran Min's eyes and whispered, "When these things are over, shall I marry you?"

Ran Min was stunned, and then her cheeks were hot and she hurriedly lowered her head. After a long time, she said "um" audiblely. When he raised his head again, Zhao Xin had jumped out of the window and left. Ran Min couldn't help standing up and walking to the window. He opened his eyes wide and tried to find his figure from the night, but he couldn't see anything. He couldn't help but feel a little loss in his heart. He just stood there and didn't leave for a long time.

When Zhao Xin returned home, he had passed away. After a simple wash, he meditated and fell asleep. After sleeping until noon, he hurriedly rushed to the palace to change his post after lunch.

As soon as I entered the West Palace, I found something strange. Many undifferent little eunuchs were running back and forth, looking anxious. Seeing the strangeness, Zhao Xin attracted Li Wei, who was on patrol, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "The general still doesn't know anything. The master's father temporarily wanted to go hunting in Anping. Well, these little eunuchs are busy packing up and down, but I don't know if the Lord will take us this time.

After saying that, he winked at Zhao Xin and said in a mysterious voice with a low ear: "I heard that Anping produces three treasures, saying that it is a fierce dog, a good bow and a beautiful woman, especially the beauty is the most famous. Hey hey, if the master takes us with us on this trip, the officials in those places will have less filial piety for us. I think it must be a boundless blessing.

Zhao Xinbai glanced at him and said angrily, "Close your bird's beak and feel at ease. If there is a mistake, not to mention Yanfu, I'm afraid your head will move."

Li Wei grinned, still smiling, and did not dare to talk back to Zhao Xin and just went on patrol.

Zhao's confidence is a little strange. It is said that the situation in Handan is not clear now. When he has not gained a clear advantage, his master suddenly left Handan and went to Anping, which is far away from the north of Handan, which will greatly weaken the fragile Anyang Jun party that has just been established.

However, it is a very human and extraordinary thing. Since the master does this, I think it has a deep meaning. If you are a minister, you'd better not figure out the Lord's intentions without authorization.

While thinking about being distracted, he saw the master father and Lou Huan coming out of the palace laughing while riding a horse, followed by Han Sheng and several people behind him. Zhao Xin hurried forward to salute. The master grabbed the reeds of the horse and looked at Zhao Xin with a smile; "What, I had a lot of fun last night. I heard Lou Luan say that you were in the limelight, and you were all favored by the beautiful people."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Let the master laugh. In terms of charm, I can't beat the horse as one ten thousandth of the master's father's you. What kind of beauty do you like?"

The master smiled and waved his whip and said, "That's good. You've also learned to blow and pat the horse. It seems that you have learned a lot from Han Sheng these days."

Han Sheng interrupted with a smile and said, "My father is wronged to say that. How can this boy be ruined by us, but I have been ruined by him a lot."

After a few more jokes, Zhao Xin found an opportunity to ask, "Lord, I heard Li Wei say that you are going out to hunt?"

The master turned his head and looked at Zhao Xin with a smile; "It's really boring to stay in the palace all day, and my muscles and bones have not moved for a long time. Nowadays, the autumn horse is the best time to hunt in a year. It's a pity not to go.

"Look at you being very lazy in Handan all day long, just go with me."

"No." Zhao Xin lowered his body and took the order. He was about to leave, but he heard Lou slowly rushing him a few steps forward and suddenly said, "Slow it."

"What?" The master looked back at the building puzzledly.

Lou Xu immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master, it's not a short time since you left Handan. I'm afraid there will be a change in the court. Now we can't mobilize any of the guards in Handan except General Zhao's Yulin. In case something goes wrong, we won't even have a chance to resist.

"So I think it would be more appropriate for General Zhao to stay. After all, Yulin was brought by him. Li Wei is the distant wife of the Li family. Zhao She is so junior that she can't replace General Zhao's position.

The master pondered for a long time and nodded; "That's what I said." He looked at Zhao Xin again and said, "Then you don't have to follow this time. You continue to stay in the palace. In case of an emergency, you can do it by yourself. The order of the floor is my order."

"No." Zhao Xin took the order.

The master stretched out his waist and said easily, "I can finally go out to get some air. This life is too boring."

After saying that, he laughed, and the horse suddenly accelerated with a whip. He rode away, and the soldiers on the road hurriedly gave way. Han Sheng and others looked at each other and smiled, and also waved whips to keep up.

The end of the third volume. This volume is affected by family affairs and is not very well written. I hope that the next volume can regain its state. Thank you again for your continuous support.
