C355 What an Old Fool Xiahou Wu
Although a storm was raging in his heart, Yanh Hanbo was obviously a cunning man.
On the surface, he was calm and collected.
On the contrary, he even put on an expression as if he was joking.
"Nephew, your words are not funny!"
"Even if Xiahou Wu has a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare scheme against this old man!"
"Furthermore... I heard that your academy is planning to clear the king's side. Why did you suddenly become the Ministry of War's hideout?"
Yanh Hanbo was trying to get some information out of him.
He admitted that the information "Huacan" had revealed was indeed shocking, but it was also very likely that it was true.
But as the leader of Civil Official Faction, he would not easily believe the words of a stranger.
Unless the other party persuaded him!
"Minister Yan must be joking."
"My academy has always been aloof from worldly affairs. Why would we do such a thing?"
"Huacan" seemed to be stunned when he heard Yanh Hanbo's words.
Seeing this, Yanh Hanbo nodded secretly in his heart.
Judging from the reaction of this young man, the so-called side of the Qing Monarch was probably just a rumor.
It was also true that the place where Xing Yao and the Yao brothers lived was the East District. They entered the Han Lin Courtyard and were in the North District.
How could they have gone to the south district where the Ministry of War was?
It seemed that the so-called 'seeing with their own eyes' of these two brothers was purely fabricated.
Or someone with ulterior motives was pretending to be an academy and taking advantage of the chaos!
With this thought in mind, Yanh Hanbo replied without batting an eyelid.
"Is that so?"
"Then perhaps this old man made a mistake!"
"If nephew doesn't mind, why don't you tell me more about Xiahou Wu's plan?"
Hearing this, "Huacan" didn't even think about it and directly nodded his head.
In his words, Xiahou Wu was extremely vicious.
First, he secretly provoked the conflict between the academy and Ministry of War.
He threw the situation in the capital into chaos.
Then, he secretly let the soldiers pretend to be those who took advantage of the situation and go to the residences of the civil servants to kidnap their families.
As long as their family members fell into their hands, they would use them as bait.
He lured Yanh Hanbo and the others to negotiate.
After that... After that, it was time for him to ambush Yanh Hanbo and the others and achieve his goal of dominating the Imperial Court.
As for... If they provoked the academy's anger, how were they going to calm down the academy's side in the future?
Wouldn't that be simple?
He would throw the Ministry of War out as a scapegoat.
Naturally, it could quell the academy's anger.
After hearing the complete news, Yanh Hanbo could no longer remain calm.
He believed what "Huacan" said.
Such a plan sounded like the work of an old fool like Xiahou Wu.
More importantly... The fact that the Ministry of War had been thrown out as a scapegoat in the plan had dispelled all of Yanh Hanbo's suspicions.
The Civil Official Faction had also placed a chess piece in the Martial Merit Faction.
According to the information sent by the chess piece, Xiahou Wu and Ren Fanzhi of the Ministry of War had started to feel disharmonious because of the incident in the Slave Deposit Parlor last time.
Xiahou Wu was a ruthless old man.
He naturally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of a subordinate who didn't share the same heart with him!
Therefore, letting the Ministry of War be the scapegoat and handing it over to the academy to punish was Xiahou Wu's behavior!
"Prime Minister Yan, we have been delayed for so long. If we calculate the time, it is likely that the chaotic army will appear in Prime Minister Yan's mansion!"
While Yanh Hanbo was deep in thought, "Huacan" suddenly said.
When these words came out, Yanh Hanbo could not sit still any longer!
Yanh Hanbo actually did not care much about his wife and concubines.
He had always believed in a saying, If you get promoted and get rich, you will die.
Only when his wife died would he be able to get a new wife!
However, he could ignore his wife and concubines, but he could not ignore his children!
In terms of fertility, Yanh Hanbo had some problems.
He only got Lin'er when he was in his 90s.
Now, Yanh Hanbo was 101 years old, and his son was only seven or eight years old.
Yanh Hanbo was very precious to this child that he had obtained with great difficulty.
He had practically pampered the heavens!
Therefore, he could accept that all his wives and concubines had died, but he could not accept that his young child would be harmed in the slightest!
If the chaotic army really started to attack his residence...
What if they hurt his youngest son?
He was not confident that he could have another son.
The old man was as steady as Mount Tai.
But now, he was completely panicked.
"Prime Minister Yan, there's no need to be anxious. My senior Chang Shangdang also knows that Prime Minister Yan is the stabilizing needle of our Chisheng Kingdom. Nothing must happen to him."
"Therefore, before my senior ordered me to come to the inner pavilion, he also ordered me to send a group of students to protect Prime Minister Yan's family!"
"Although they may not be able to repel the chaotic army, protecting the safety of Prime Minister Yan's family is not a problem!"
"However... the capital is currently in chaos. Even though the students of my academy have proof of identity, they are afraid that the people of your capital will not believe them!"
"So, if Prime Minister Yan can, why don't you come with me and take the opportunity to bring the family members to the Cabinet?"
"After all, apart from the Imperial Palace, the Cabinet, and the Academy, no other place in the capital is safe!"
The white-robed youth, 'Huacan', spoke with sincerity.
Hearing this, Yanh Hanbo couldn't help but nod his head.
Before he could say anything, Guan Guande and the others could no longer hold it in and began to advise him.
"Minister, this little brother's words are very reasonable. We should indeed transfer our family members to the Cabinet!"
"That's right, Minister. If something were to happen to our family members, I'm afraid we would be thrown into chaos."
"Minister, why don't you make a trip?"
"Little brother, do you think it's possible to bring our family members over as well?"
Everyone was trying to persuade Yanh Hanbo, but in fact, they were all selfish.
After all, they were not Yanh Hanbo and did not care about their wives and concubines.
To them, they cared a lot about their wives and concubines in the family.
On the contrary, they really did not care about their heirs.
In any case... their fertility was strong.
"Forget it, this old man will let you go!"
When Yanh Hanbo heard this, he nodded and raised his head.
Originally, this kind of thing, it would be enough for the younger brothers to step forward.
But in the end, Yanh Hanbo was still worried about his precious son, so he decided to personally take action!
"If that's the case, Prime Minister Yan, please follow me!"
The young man "Huacan" stood up as he spoke.
Immediately, the two of them left the inner pavilion hall.
However, when they set off, Yanh Hanbo brought another hundred private soldiers with him.
Since they had private soldiers, they could protect their families after receiving their family members.
Secondly, Yanh Hanbo was more or less careful.
"Huacan" did not seem to care about this at all.0
This made Yanh Hanbo, who had the heart of a villain, feel somewhat ashamed in his heart!
Fortunately, this fellow was thick-skinned and returned to normal in just a moment.
Under the protection of 100 private soldiers, Yanh Hanbo and "Huacan" headed straight for Yanh Hanbo's mansion.
Along the way, the capital did indeed seem different from usual.
Originally, capital of Chisheng was bustling with activity.
But now, wherever they went, every household was shut.
It was as if they were guarding against someone taking advantage of the chaos and taking advantage of the chaos.
Seeing this scene, Yanh Hanbo nodded secretly.
"It seems like the capital is truly in turmoil!"
"Damn that old thief, Xiahou Wu, for his own personal gain, he actually stirred up chaos!"
"Such a vicious person deserves to be killed!"
Yanh Hanbo thought to himself.
He even began to think about how to fight back against this old man, Xiahou Wu!
Just as he was thinking about it.
"Huacan" who was next to him suddenly fell down on his face!
Yanh Hanbo saw this and could not help but be stunned.
"Nephew, this is..."
