After a while, the door to the inner hall was pushed open, and Princess Hao walked in.
"The food is cold. I'll ask my servants to heat it up. Why are you back so late today?"
Nian An came over and asked gently.
Seeing Nian An, Wang Fugui felt better. He pulled Nian An in front of him and placed his palm on her slightly bulging belly. After a moment, he smiled and said,
"Look, my son is kicking me."
Nian An rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Wang Fugui hugged Nian An's waist, put his ear on her belly, and said,
"Son, I am your father, come and call me daddy."
"Get out of here. He's only five months old. He's still four to five months away from giving birth. He won't be able to speak until he's one year old."
"Congratulations, you're going to be a father."
In the room, a third person's voice suddenly appeared.
Wang Fugui was startled at first, but then felt relieved after hearing the sound.
"When did your boy come?"
Han Yun's figure appeared and sat next to Wang Fugui.
"It'll be there in the afternoon."
"Why did you think of coming to see me this time? Do you know that I am going to be a father, and you can't wait to recognize my son as your godfather?"
Wang Fugui smiled.
"I'm more like your godfather."
"Hahahahaha, it's a rare occasion for you to come here. Today you and I will get drunk and then we'll have a rest, to relieve the depression in my heart.
Where are your two ladies and Xiao Yuxin? Why didn't you come? "
Wang Fugui picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Han Yun.
"I'm here for business."
Han Yun picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and then said,
"I have notified Chai Yuan before, he will arrive soon."
"What's the big deal?"
Seeing Han Yun's serious expression, Wang Fugui couldn't help but ask.
"Let's wait until Chai Yuan comes."
It was said that Cao Cao had arrived, and Chai Yuan arrived not long after.
Looking at the table full of food and wine, Chai Yuan smiled and said,
"I haven't eaten yet, let's have something together so that we don't have to cook when we get home."
"You said that you are a minister of the cabinet, a minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and a first-rank official. Why can't you even have a meal every day?"
Wang Fugui said speechlessly.
After more than two years of court struggle, Chai Yuan has been promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and is also the second assistant in the cabinet and the first person under the chief assistant.
"I am an old servant, and I have only one old servant at home. He is old and unable to cook.
I am not like some officials who take bribes and embezzlement all day long and have a huge fortune. "
Chai Yuan looked really hungry, and he didn't even stop using his chopsticks after sitting down.
"Even if you don't know how to cook, you can just marry a wife to cook for you. Look at all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, who is alone like you?"
"My name is to stay safe on my own, so that I won't hurt others when I'm executed by everyone in my family."
"Hey."
Wang Fugui shook his head and stopped talking.
Han Yun asked,
"What's the situation in the court now?"
"That's strange. Don't you, the King of Zhenbei, not ask about government affairs? Why did you come to the capital to inquire about these things today?"
Chai Yuan took a bite of food and then said,
"The fight between the two parties is in full swing. Officials are demoted and promoted every day. If I were not in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the appointment of officials, the people of the Liuye Party would have been wiped out by the prince.
Now that the prince has great power, he doesn't care about people's livelihood and only cares about suppressing us.
The chaos in the court caused chaos in the world.
There was a drought in Luochuan, a flood in Chuchuan, and a locust plague in Taichuan. The demon sect and the remnants of Wu in Yunchuan were ready to rebel again.
The imperial court didn't care about these at all and only focused on fighting.
I petitioned for disaster relief and at the same time mobilized troops to suppress the Yunchuan rebels.
The court quarreled again. The prince suggested that the eldest prince lead the imperial army to quell the rebellion. However, the eldest prince had no talent in leading troops. The imperial army had not experienced war for a long time, so it had no fighting capacity.
Over time, the national strength will collapse.
I propose that you and Zhao Long lead the Zhenbei Army to quell the chaos. After all, the Zhenbei Army is the most powerful army in Dachuan.
To be precise, the elite of the entire Dachuan are the Western Army.
It's a pity that they only care about the political struggle, and they only see that if you are allowed to quell the chaos, your achievements and status will be higher, which is extremely disadvantageous to them, so they try their best to stop it.
Huh, I want to see if the Yunchuan rebels really raise their troops to rebel, and when the day comes when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, will they still only think about internal strife and fighting. "
Seeing Chai Yuan's indignant look, Han Yun couldn't help but smile.
"It's okay. The foundation of Dachuan is still there, and the country's strength is still there. Droughts and floods happen every year. It's not a big deal. As long as we appease the people and don't let the refugees starve to follow the rebels, it won't be a big deal."
"Why are you here this time? If it's just for the situation in the court, you can just ask on the spiritual slip. Why do you need to go there in person?" m.
Chai Yuan asked curiously.
Han Yun put away the smile on his face and said,
"There is indeed something important to tell you. Gu Tianfeng's soul has regained consciousness."
"Gu Tianfeng?!"
Nian An stood up suddenly.
This name is familiar to everyone here. It was the first second-grade strongman they fought against many years ago.
It is also the most important clue and witness to solve the assassination case of Marshal Yue.
Wang Fugui was shocked at first, and then hurriedly pulled Nian An to sit down.
"Be good, don't move, don't move the baby."
Nian An couldn't care about him, looked at Han Yun and said quickly,
"You're a guy who's been sitting here chatting for a long time without saying anything serious. Let him out quickly and ask him properly."
Gu Tianfeng was sent to kill Nian An, and the purpose of killing Nian An was to prevent her from returning to Beijing and to prevent her from investigating the assassination of Marshal Yue.
It has been easy to reason for so long. As long as we find out the person behind the assassination of Nian An, we can find out the person behind the assassination of Marshal Yue.
Han Yun stopped beating around the bush and directly took out the soul-raising beads and released Gu Tianfeng's soul.
As soon as Gu Tianfeng appeared, he looked around. When he saw clearly the appearance of everyone present, his expression changed drastically.
"It's you!"
After saying this, he rushed towards everyone with his teeth and claws bared.
Han Yun raised his hand and suppressed Gu Tianfeng easily.
He has now broken through the Mahayana stage, and killing a second-grade soul is like slaughtering a chicken or a dog, let alone a mere second-grade soul like Gu Tianfeng.
Gu Tianfeng was suppressed in the blink of an eye, and Han Yun used the enchantment technique to control him.
Then he asked,
"Who sent you to assassinate Princess Nian'an back then?"
"Who is Princess Nian'an?"
Gu Tianfeng asked with dull eyes.
Han Yun then remembered that when he assassinated Nian An, Nian An had not yet been granted the title of princess, and the other party did not know that her name was Nian An.
So, Han Yun changed his name,
"Who asked you to assassinate Marshal Yue's daughter?"
Hearing this, Gu Tianfeng replied without hesitation,
"It's Chief Assistant Wang Anqing."
As soon as these words came out, the four of them were shocked!
Some people died, but not completely...
