Changle Hall, in the imperial study room.
"This idea is good." After hearing the proposal of Lu Xin and his son, the Chu Shi Emperor's eyes lit up: "It can be reflected that I have completely given up fighting with him, just to have peace of mind after the funeral. I can also transfer the Lu Qing family from Luodu to completely relieve Xiahou Ba."
"This deal seems fair, but Xiahouba made both face and money, so he should agree." Zuo Yanqing naturally said from the side.
The four smartest people present all agreed, and Du Hui and Huangfu Pixian naturally would not object.
"I recently issued an order to inform Xiahou Ba about this." The initial emperor made a decision.
"Your Majesty, you can't find a way to find a person before you get rid of him." Lu Yun suddenly poured a basin of cold water.
"Oh? Who are you referring to?" The eyes of Emperor Chu sternly.
"Xiahou Ba's military advisor Zhu Xiuyi is extremely smart and very wise. If this person is not eliminated, I am afraid that our plans will still be seen through." Then Lu Yunyou said.
"Oh, why did I forget him!" The Emperor Chu slapped his forehead heavily and said deeply: "This guy deserves Lu Yun's attention. He was the mastermind behind the scenes of the Baoen Temple Incident. A mere cold scholar brought the entire Daxuan to the sky. What's even more terrifying is that few people knew about his existence afterwards..."
"Your Majesty, although this man is in vain and has hardly contacted outsiders, the Investigation Office has never relaxed his investigation of him over the years. The details of this man have been found out." Zuo Yanqing pointed out Zhu Xiuyi's identity according to the information provided by Lu Yun in advance: "He should be the remnant of Dongqi, and he lurked to Xiahou Ba more than 20 years ago..."
"What? How could he, a prince from Dongqi, help Daxuan capture Qianchao? He should help Qianchao resist Daxuan?"
The Emperor was unbelievable when he heard this. He knew that Zhu Xiuyi became Xiahou Ba's counselor before the fall of the Qian Dynasty, and helped him make great contributions when he defeated the Southern Dynasty - especially using a divisive strategy to imprison Huan Daoji, a pillar of the Southern Dynasty, completely clearing the last obstacle to the Daxuan army's journey south, and naturally gaining Xiahou Ba's trust.
"Although the Southern Dynasty was still surviving with the Yangtze River's natural chasm, even those with knowledge could see that it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. With Zhu Xiuyi's wisdom, he would naturally not have a broken ship that was about to sink. On the contrary, he used Huan Daoji as his reputation and completely won the trust of Xiahouba, which was not unimaginable." Zuo Yanqing said with ease: "Of course, this is all speculation from clues. He has suffered from lack of evidence, so he has not yet reported to His Majesty."
"It's not too late to say it now!" Chu Shidi slapped the table excitedly and said, "No matter whether he is true or not, if he is leaked this secret to Xiahou Ba, with the old man's concern, he would definitely be more trustworthy than trustless!"
"Your Majesty is such a mysterious plan!" Lu Yun immediately flattered. Although this was his plan, it was just to avoid suspicion that he used Zuo Yanqing's mouth to lead the Chu Shi Emperor to speak out.
The Chu Emperor, who was kept in the dark, was naturally happy and was very satisfied with his flash of inspiration.
"Even if Xiahou Ba does not kill him for a moment, he will never listen to him again. And then the Xiahou family will definitely be in chaos, which will make us secretly prepare. As expected, you will be prosperous and you will die with this. Let Xiahou Ba and Zhu Xiuyi also taste the greatness of the plan of alienation!" As he said that, he ordered Zuo Yanqing and Lu Xin in a deep voice: "I will leave this matter to you two to take responsibility, and we must get rid of the scourge of Zhu Xiuyi as soon as possible!"
"Abide by the order!" the two responded in unison.

Xiahoufang.
The newly built Otsuka Zaifu has not yet begun construction, and Xiahou Ba is temporarily working in his own main courtyard of the Valve.
All the yamen of the court, the three provinces and three armies, all sent assistant officials to Xiahoufang to wait for the orders of the Dazhongzai. From the first day, those who came to do business, gifts, wind watching, errands, and the children of the gentry stuffed the huge Xiahoufang. The streets were blocked from morning to night, and even the large ping in front of Lingyun Hall were filled with carriages and sedan chairs. So many animals were shivering outside the ancestral hall, and the sky was stuffy and hot, so it was naturally stenching. You could smell the bad smell from afar in the main courtyard of the ancestral hall. I don’t know if the ancestral ancestors of the Xiahoujia in Lingyun Hall fainted from the stench.
Xiahou Ba did not disgust the strange smell. He felt that this was popularity and a symbol of the rise of the Xiahou clan. Therefore, he rejected Xiahou Li's proposal to prohibit the children of officials from riding horses and chariots into the yard.
"It is to create such a scene." Xiahou Ba said to Xiahou Li while writing vigorously, "Those people outside know what it means to be popular and what the general trend is to return!"
"Then, okay." Xiahou Li nodded with a wry smile, but his heart was sweet. These days, the great elder of the Xiahou clan was really glorious. The people who asked him to do things broke through the threshold and sent gifts filled the warehouse. The power in his hand had completely surpassed the masters of other clans, and even Cui Yan, the Shangshu Ling, could not be compared with him.
In fact, it is not just Xiahou Li? The entire Xiahou clan was immersed in the great happiness of one person's attaining power and the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Even those tribeless tribe members began to pursue a position of one official position so as to get a piece of the pie, not to mention those Xiahou clan members who had errands and had official hats, all became celebrities in their respective yamen. The superiors coaxed, their colleagues held them, and their heads were filial. This day was so wonderful!
All of this is because Xiahou Ba finally became the Otoku-Zhu!
The old teacher himself was even more excited. He got up before dawn every day. He sat in the signing room on time before the hour of the Mao period and listened to the reports of the civil and military ministers. The day went from busy to dark, and the genius rested at the third anniversary, and even lunch and supper were solved in the signing room.
Even though he was so busy, he was still energetic, quick-thinking, and did not feel tired at all. Perhaps, power is the best magic pill...
.
Today, Xiahou Ba was busy until the time came, and temporarily put down his official duties and took the time to have a meal.
But Xiahou Ba still couldn't stop his mind. While eating, he was discussing with Xiahou Buspo.
"Pei Jiao reported that the spring famine this year is serious, and the Taiping Taoist hiding in Youyan took the opportunity to revolt. Twelve of the sixteen prefectures are making rebellions..." Xiahouba frowned while chewing the meat-meat-burn cakes, and asked: "He said that the local government could no longer suppress it, and the Zhenbei Army must be mobilized to suppress it. What do you think about this?"
