One hundred and ninety-four chapters like walking on thin ice (twenty-five)

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

Ran Min turned her head and looked at the night sky slowly, "My father often talks about things in the court when he has nothing to do, and over time I have a little understanding of these things."

Zhao Xin nodded and sighed, "Fortunately, I thought this matter had been widely circulated. If this were the case, Zhao State might have caused chaos."

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

"Even if you can hide it for a while, it will spread sooner or later."

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly, "That's nothing to do. Now that it's like this, it may only become more and more intense if it continues."

Ran Min showed a worried look on her face and said softly, "How intense will it be?"

Zhao Xin said nothing, but just looked up at the starry sky, and then exclaimed for a long time, "My hands and feet are tragic, and they are in the same room."

Ran Min's delicate body shook, and an incredible look appeared in her eyes.

She just knew some court struggles from her father, and knew that the power struggle between the Lord's Father's Sect and the King's Sect was getting more and more intense, but she never expected that this kind of struggle would rise to the point of bleeding in the palace.

In her opinion, such a thing is hard to understand. The battle between her father and son will rise to bleeding to resolve, which is almost incomprehensible to her ordinary girl. Moreover, every palace change is accompanied by bleeding and a great purge. Her father is an official in the court and a crucial position. She cannot help but worry about her father's safety.

Ran Min became more and more sure that he must try his best to persuade his father to continue to maintain a neutral position and not to invest in either side, but to act in accordance with the Zhao system in a normal manner. While political speculation brings huge returns, it will also bring about life worries. If he succeeds, he can certainly rise to the top, but if he fails, he is not a false statement.

Seeing that her face was pale and looked worried, Zhao Xin guessed what she was worried about in his heart. He smiled and comforted, "You don't have to worry. I haven't heard of any referees to the court. He is the magistrate of Handan County and belongs to the Lieutenant's Mansion. Lieutenant Li Xi is my uncle's brother of the same clan. From this point of view, he is the royal family. So even if there is something wrong, it is the responsibility of the lieutenant. County Magistrate Ran is just ordered to act, and I think there will be no problem."

"Besides, now all the ten ministers in the court are inclined to the king. Even if the master father succeeds, he will never be able to cleanse the court. He will only pursue the first crime, and the rest will not be investigated. After all, if our country of Zhao continues, we still need officials in the court."

Ran Min then felt relieved, looked at Zhao Xin, and said with a strange look, "What about you, are you following your Lord Father to the end, or for your father and uncle?"

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "This is exactly what I have to worry about. I feel that I am not a human being in the middle and outside. Yu Gong and I are the Lord's Father's person, and I was promoted by the Lord's Father, so in the eyes of others, I am naturally a complete Lord's father's party. But Yu Meng is the father's son and I will never be willing to be enemies with my father."

Ran Min saw that he looked painful, and suddenly felt sad and asked softly, "What are you planning?"

Zhao Xin was silent for a long time and said with a bitter smile, "What else can I plan? Take one step at a time. I am the leader of the Yulin next to the Lord's Father, so I naturally have to protect the Lord's Father's safety."

"Yes." Ran Min nodded.

"Do you want to hear my advice?"

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

"No matter how you choose, remember not to get blood on your hands, especially the royal blood." Ran Min turned to look at Zhao Xin and said seriously.

"You have a special status. No matter which side wins, you will be in danger of your life, unless you do something that the Lord's Father or King will kill you."

"I hope to hear it carefully." This time it was Zhao Xin's turn to listen to Ran Min's speech attentively.

"Everyone in the country knows that the Lord's father is a very important and easy man. In his eyes, even if he has a conflict with his son, it is only a family matter. But if you, an outsider, hurts him to lose his beloved son, even if you act under the orders of your rights, you will be the cause of death."

"Not to mention the king, now he is forced to protect himself and stand opposite to his master's father. 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 feel resentful towards you. If you are resentful to the King of Zhao, then you can imagine the ending of your country in Zhao."

Zhao Xin nodded and agreed with him. "What you said is reasonable, ethical principles are human nature, let alone people who value feelings like the Lord Father and the King. It seems that I also need to remind my father. Never fall too deeply, otherwise even if you win, you will sooner or later be given an excuse by the winner to avenge your relatives."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but look at Ran Min a few times and said, "I didn't expect that you, a girl, have such knowledge, which really makes me admire you."

Ran Min smiled calmly, "I have no knowledge, it's just that bystanders are clear about the authorities and the people who are confused. You are naturally not as interested in me in the outside world. In fact, the dispute between the Lord's father and the king is just a matter between them, and you are just a trend of being affected. The Lord's father and the king are not kings who have no tolerance, so as long as you are not trapped too deeply, even if you fail, you may not be in danger of life. It's just a demotion and exile."

"As for you, don't worry. Whether the Lord's Father wins or the King wins, your family doesn't seem to be affected by any influence. You are really good at everything. So you can be at ease. There is no need to worry so much. As long as you remember me, don't get blood on your hands, as this is enough to protect yourself."

Zhao Xin nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, I remember your words." Ran Min replied with a sweet smile.

This was a night wind, and Ran Min couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously shrank her shoulders. Zhao Xin then noticed that she was wearing only a single dress, which was still OK during the day, but naturally she couldn't hold on to the high winds at night. So she stepped forward and held Ran Min's shoulder and said, "The wind is strong here, why don't you go back to the house to rest first. It's getting late, and I'm about to leave."

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

After sending Ran Min back to the room, Zhao Xin also said goodbye to her, turned around and was about to leave the window. After walking a few steps, Zhao Xin slowly stopped, turned around and met Ran Min's gaze that looked at him, and said in a low voice, "Will I marry you after these things are finished?"

Ran Min was stunned, then her cheeks were hot and she lowered her head. It took a long time to make a slight "um" sound. When she raised her head again, Zhao Xin had already jumped out of the window and left. Ran Min couldn't help but stand up and walked out of the window, opening her eyes wide to try to find his figure from the night, but she couldn't see anything. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, just stood there in a daze, and hadn't left for a long time.

When Zhao Xin returned home, it was already midnight. He washed up and meditated and fell asleep. He slept until noon after the sun, and then he hurriedly finished lunch and rushed to the palace to change the guards.

As soon as he entered the West Palace, he found something strange. Many irrelevant eunuchs were running back and forth, looking anxious. When Zhao Xin saw this, he called Li Wei and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "The general doesn't know anything. The Lord's father has just made up his mind and wants to go to Anping to hunt. So, these little eunuchs are busy packing their luggage, but they don't know if the Lord's father will take us there this time."

After saying that, he blinked at Zhao Xin, lowered his ears and said with a mysterious look, "I heard that Anping gave birth to three treasures, and said that it was a lie dog, a good bow, and a beautiful woman, among which the most famous are beautiful women. Hehe, if the master's father is good at taking us with him this time, there will be fewer officials in those places to respect us. I think it will be endless blessings."

Zhao Xin gave him a blank look and said angrily, "Close your beak and take care of me. If there is any mistake, let alone Yanfu is not there, I am afraid that your head will move."

Li Wei grinned, still looking hilarious, and didn't dare to talk back to Zhao Xin but just went on patrol.

Zhao Xin was a little strange in his heart. Logically speaking, the situation in Handan is not clear and he has not gained any obvious advantage. The master's father suddenly left Handan, and the place he went to was far away from Handan, which was close to the north. This would greatly weaken the newly established fragile Anyang Jun Party.

However, it is very important to do extraordinary things. Since the Lord's father did this, it seems to be of profound meaning. As a minister, it is better not to understand the Lord's intentions without authorization.

Just as he was thinking about being out of the way, he saw the master father and Lou Yanzheng riding a horse and walked out of the palace, talking and laughing, and behind him were Han Sheng and others. Zhao Xin hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The master father held the reins of the horse and looked at Zhao Xin with a smile, "Why, I had fun last night. I heard Lou Yan say that you are so popular and have been favored by the beauty."

Zhao Xin smiled embarrassedly, "I am so happy to see the Lord Father. I can't beat you one ten thousandth of the Lord Father's, how can you like me?"

The master father laughed and waved his whip and said, "Not bad, you guys have learned to slap your horse. It seems that he has learned bad things from Han Sheng and the others a lot."

Han Sheng interrupted with a smile: "The master said this, it was a wronged minister. How could this kid be led to be ruined by us? I was ruined by him."

After joking for a few more words, Zhao Xin looked for an opportunity to ask, "Master, I heard from Li Wei that you are planning to go out to hunt?"

The master's father turned his head and looked at Zhao Xin with a smile, "I was so bored that I stayed in the palace all day long, and my muscles and bones have become much sore and soft after not moving for a long time. Now the autumn is tall and fat, which is the best time to hunt in the year, so it is a pity not to go."

"Looking at you being much lazy in Handan all day, let's go with me."

"No." Zhao Xin lowered his body to take the order, and was about to leave, but heard Lou Suu urge him to move forward a few steps, and suddenly spoke, "Let's wait."

"What?" The master father turned around and looked at Lou Yan in confusion.

Lou Yan immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master, you have been away from Handan for a long time, and I am afraid that something will happen in the court. Now, we cannot mobilize any of the guards in Handan City except General Zhao's Yulin. If something happens, we will not even have a chance to resist."

"So I think it would be more appropriate for General Zhao to stay. After all, Yulin was taken by him personally. Li Wei is a distant family member of the Li family. Zhao She has too little experience and cannot replace General Zhao's position."

The Lord's father pondered for a long time and nodded, "What he said is right." He looked at Zhao Xin again, "Then you don't have to follow him this time. You continue to stay in the palace. If there is an emergency, you can stop yourself. Lou Xiang's order is my order."

"No." Zhao Xin received the order seriously.

The Lord Father stretched his waist long and said relaxedly: "I can finally go out for some breathing. I'm so boring and boring."

After saying that, he laughed, and swung his whip and accelerated suddenly. A cavalry flew away. The soldiers on the road hurriedly gave way. Han Sheng and others looked at each other and smiled, and followed him with the whip.

The third volume is at the end of the third volume. This volume is affected by family affairs and is not well written. I hope that the next volume can be restored to its state. Thank you again for your continued support.
