Chapter 862

While Li Yuanhe was discussing with Yang Bai and Cheng Jue on how to forge ahead with the state of Zhou, he was in Biancheng and was also engaged in a conspiracy about Li Yuanhe.

As a high-ranking official in charge of menxia province and a member of the power core of the post Qin state, Zhou fan is now a hot figure in Bian city. The alliance formed by him and Ouyang Ming, who was in charge of Shangshu Province, was also one of the most important factions in the official circles of the post Qin state. It can be said that Zhou fan should be in high spirits now.

However, Zhou fan was very distressed during this period, especially when news came from the front a few days ago that Li Yuanhe, an important general of the Wang family faction, led his army to easily conquer Tianyang city and directly destroyed the state of Yan. Zhou fan that is more and more restless, he feels, it seems that Li Yuanhe is his own hit killer!

Since Li Yuanhe came to Biancheng, Zhou fan began to have troubles. First of all, because of Li Yuanhe, Kong De, who had always been neutral, completely fell to the Wang family, which made Zhou fan's pressure more and more great. Then, Zhou fan managed to win over Yan tiechun and took refuge in his side. However, he was robbed by Li Yuanhe, the vanguard General of Yan tiechun, and missed a chance to make contributions. As Li Yuanhe made more and more contributions, Ying Zhen paid more and more attention to Wang's faction. On the contrary, he was more and more dissatisfied with Zhou fan recently.

Originally, in the last battle of naocheng, Li Yuanhe not only lost the city, but also lost his whereabouts. Zhou fan realized that this might be his chance to counter attack. Therefore, Zhou fan first instigated Yan tiechun to make a fight in Li Yuanhe's house, thus damaging the face of the royal family. However, he did not expect that Li Yuanhe not only came back safely, but also made great achievements, which made Zhou fan feel like stealing chicken and not eating rice. In order to appease Li Yuanhe's discontent, Ying Zhen directly sent Yan tiechun to the frontier. Although he still saved his life, Zhou fan's power in Biancheng was greatly weakened.

Even so, Zhou fan could only hold his breath. According to his ally Ouyang Ming, now the Wang family is out of the upper hand and wants to stay away from its light. Zhou fan also had self-knowledge. In terms of marching and fighting, he thought highly of himself, but in terms of political struggle, Ouyang Ming was much better than himself. However, what happened next made Zhou fan feel that his victory was getting farther and farther away. During the discussion in the imperial study, Zhou fan was defeated completely, and Li Yuanhe became the commander in chief of the western expedition. After that, even Ouyang Ming began to alienate himself.

With the success report in front of him, a fiefdom was passed to Bian Cheng. Zhou fan's heart was more and more uneasy, but now he is powerless. In particular, Yan tiechun, who was sent to southern Xinjiang by Ying Zhen, was unfortunately killed in the battle when he seized the mountain bandits. Zhou fan doesn't know whether it was done by Wang family or Li Yuanhe. However, the death of Yan tiechun has greatly reduced the number of supporters around Zhou fan. An alliance that can't protect its own life can't rally people. So after getting the news of Yan tiechun's death in battle, Zhou fan simply handed in a note saying that he was ill and drank in the house every day.

"My Lord!" The housekeeper of Zhou fan's family walked cautiously to Zhou fan, saluted Zhou fan and said, "Lord Qiu xuanqiu, servant of the yellow gate, would like to see you! He said he had something important to report to your majesty! "

"Something important?" Zhou fan took a sip of the wine in the cup, frowned and read a sentence. Qiu Xuan is an official of Zhou fan and a supporter of his faction. He is one of the few people who always stick to his side. For this Qiu Xuan, Zhou fan is still very trusted. At least during this period of time, Zhou fan is basically left to him to handle the affairs of the province. For Qiu Xuan will come to visit suddenly at this time, Zhou fan is also very strange, chanting: "what can I do at this time? okay! Go and ask him to come directly here

"Yes The housekeeper has been following Zhou fan for many years. He is also very clear about many things about Zhou fan. He knows that Qiu Xuan is Zhou fan's confidant, and the things they want to discuss may be confidential. So when he went down to take Qiu Xuan to see Zhou fan, he did not forget to drive away all the servants and maids around him.

Soon, Qiu Xuan, a middle-aged official with a thin body, walked to the courtyard where Zhou fan drank under the guidance of the housekeeper. However, Qiu Xuan was sweating at the moment. His official clothes were even soaked with sweat, and his skinny cheek was pale and tired. Zhou fan saw Qiu Xuan's appearance, but he couldn't help frowning, and his face became dignified. He knew that Qiu Xuan had always been a person who attached great importance to his appearance. In his present appearance, he must have something important to do. Zhou fan immediately put down his glass, waved to the housekeeper, and said, "you should step back first."

When the housekeeper retired, Qiu Xuan hurriedly went forward to worship Zhou fan, but his face was beaming and said, "my Lord! My subordinates have just received a shocking news, which guarantees that we can make adults fight a beautiful turn over battle! "

Zhou fan's situation during this period of time, almost everyone in Biancheng officialdom knew that as Zhou fan's confidant, he was naturally extremely anxious about this matter. Now he can say such a sentence from Qiu Xuan's mouth. Of course, Zhou fan understands what Qiu Xuan means. However, Zhou fan is also calm, holding his surprise in his heart and saying, "don't worry! Speak slowly! What's going on? "Qiu Xuan this just a little calm for a while, then said: "subordinate disrespectful! adult! That's it! Just received the news from southern Xinjiang! The previous time, did not there be military information indicating that the fourth Prince's highness suddenly set out from Jiangcheng to intercept the Miao Fu army of Dachang state? But the person who was pressed and inserted by his subordinates in southern Xinjiang said that in the army of the fourth prince, he saw Kong Ling, the current Secretary of the middle school! "

"Kong Ling?" Zhou fan first repeated Kong Ling's name, but suddenly his eyes widened. He immediately remembered Kong Ling's identity and asked, "is that Kong Ling the nephew of Kong De, the sworn brother of Li Yuanhe?"

Qiu Xuan nodded and said, "yes! adult! It's the Kong Ling

Getting Qiu Xuan's affirmative answer, Zhou fan immediately stood up and walked back and forth in the yard. He immediately understood why Qiu Xuan thought this was a good opportunity to turn around. Kong Ling, as a middle school official, is the nephew of Kong De, the commander-in-chief, Li Yuanhe's brother-in-law. There's no problem where he appears, but he appears at the side of Yingqi! Who is the winner? That's the one who competes for the throne with your majesty today! And up to now, he still refuses to submit to his immediate majesty, and has forcibly occupied Jiangcheng against his majesty! Kong Ling appears at the side of Yingqi, does that mean Kong Ling has betrayed to win it?

And Kong Ling's identity has a role at this time! Kong Ling betrays, that will certainly drag his uncle Kong De into the water! What's more, if Li Yuanhe, who is now commanding the army, is also dragged into the water, then Zhou fan's most worried things will no longer exist!

Thinking of this, Zhou fan's heart can not help but surge a burst of excitement, as Qiu Xuan said, this time is to seize the opportunity, he can really fight a beautiful turn over the battle! Immediately Zhou fan immediately turned around and asked, "Qiu Xuan! You can be sure! Is that Kong Ling who appeared in the army of the fourth prince

Qiu Xuan of course understood how important this matter was to Zhou fan. Of course, he did not dare to make any mistakes. Before he came here, he also confirmed the authenticity of the news, and then he came to tell Zhou fan. So after Zhou fan inquired, Qiu Xuan nodded his head and replied, "please don't worry, my Lord! This matter is clear under the investigation! It's really the Kong Ling, that's right

"Good!" Zhou fan, who was depressed before, revived and laughed: "if that's the case! Then I must give you the first merit! Let's go to the palace now! Report it to your majesty! Take old Wang and Kong off guard Having said that, Zhou fan is to call the housekeeper, let him prepare the official uniform for himself.

Qiu Xuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "my Lord, where is Ouyang, are we going to send someone to inform him?" Qiu Xuan is not very clear about the recent conflict between Zhou fan and Ouyang Ming. In his opinion, Zhou fan and Ouyang Ming are still in alliance. If you can call on Ouyang Ming, who is in charge of Shangshu Province, to join in such an important action, you may be more sure.

Zhou fan thought of Ouyang Ming's indifferent attitude towards himself recently. He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said, "don't tell him about this! You can contact people directly. It's better to call on the admonishing doctor and some of our people from the official department to enter the palace together! At that time, I'd like to see how Mr. Kong and Mr. Wang argue in favor of Li Yuanhe and Zhou fan! "

"Yes! I'll do it now! " Although I don't know what contradiction there is between Zhou fan and Ouyang Ming, Qiu Xuan dare not disobey Zhou fan's orders. Even if he bows down to carry out Zhou fan's assignment.

Zhou fan snorted coldly. In fact, as soon as Qiu Xuan told himself the news, Zhou fan understood that Li Yuanhe and Kong Ling were trying to help them realize their plan to attack Yan state with the help of their winning power. However, Zhou fan doesn't care so much. Even if Li Yuanhe didn't mean to betray Yingzhen, it was after all a violation of Yingzhen's scale. Zhou fan would take this opportunity to pull Li Yuan and his nemesis down in one breath!
