Shen Ruhui looked at Su Juan and asked for her opinion.

If you want to support a royal family member to ascend to the throne, in addition to his character, what is more important is the power behind him.

Currently, the power of King Han and King Jing is not weak. Once Zhongzheng makes the evaluation, these people will be appointed to important positions, and that will be a foregone conclusion. It will then be difficult to build up power for the new monarch in the future.

Therefore, we must have a response plan for this Zhongzheng assessment.

Su Juan stroked his chin with his fingers, "I already have a solution, but I just lack the right opportunity."

Shen Ruhui: "If you want the opportunity, why don't I offer you one?

Xie Xun, who was standing by, was confused. "Can you guys speak human language?"

It was clear that the two of them didn't say much, but it seemed as if they said a lot of things. However, it happened that only the two of them could understand it. I seemed to listen, but didn't hear anything at all.

Just a moment ago, they were still talking about who were King Jing's men and who were King Han's men, but now they are talking about whether they are ready or not and whether the timing is right.

What are you preparing for? Kill those scholars?

Does this require the right timing? It's a matter of time before the knife is raised and the head falls off.

He thought he was not stupid, and was even a little smart, but this riddle really made him uncomfortable.

Isn't it about a boat?

This treatment doesn’t look like that of a boat!

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun with a confused look in her eyes. [Xie Xun's brain doesn't seem to be working very well?]

[Did the system make a mistake? Why did it include Xie Xun in the calculation? ]

Xie Xun: “???” Listen, is this human language?

Shen Ruhui on the side smiled and explained to Xie Xun. Xie Xun finally understood, "So, you want to reveal which of the 18 deputy Zhongzhengs evaluated this time are involved with King Han and King Jing?"

【Your mind has finally come around.】

Xie Xun: “…” I am sitting here and asking for trouble. Did a donkey kick my brain?

Shen Ruhui nodded, "The evaluation of scholars in the world is a major matter. Once this matter is exposed and known to Your Majesty, it will be strictly investigated."

He looked at Su Juan and asked, "I wonder if you have made up your mind, young lady, which member of the royal family you want to support?"

Xie Xun immediately looked at Su Juan. He wanted to know who Su Juan was optimistic about.

Su Juan pondered for a moment, "How about Prince Yong?"

[Although this Prince Yong did not have many achievements, the people in his fiefdom lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were few unjust, false, and wrongful convictions. This shows that he was a good ruler and a suitable candidate.]

Xie Xun was stunned. He didn't expect Su Juan to think of Prince Yong.

This Prince Yong was the grandson of the eldest son of the emperor before Chongwu year. At that time, the eldest son of the emperor was ill for many years, so there was no crown prince. Later, the princess was made the crown prince, that is, the empress.

Prince Yong was too mediocre and unknown. He had never been to the capital since he inherited the title, and people had almost forgotten the existence of such a person.

Shen Ruhui was silent for a long time, "Miss, why don't you think about it again?"

"In fact, there are still some royal family members with established roots to choose from. The Yongwang clan has not been in the capital for decades, so it is difficult to support them."

What's more, Prince Yong has not been to Beijing for many years, so he probably has no intention of competing for the throne.

Su Juan nodded, "Think about it again."

In fact, she thought of Prince Yong because, during the tyranny of Song Qianfan, all the princes were trying to protect themselves, but Prince Yong saw the suffering of the people and rose up in resistance, which shows Prince Yong's character.

If this person is supported, he may become a great man.

Shen Ruhui was not pessimistic about Prince Yong, but he had no foundation in the capital, and no matter how good his character was, it would be difficult to support him.

He handed a list to Su Juan, "These are some scholars with simple family backgrounds, who have nothing to do with King Han and King Jing. They are of good character. According to my investigation, they often go to Jingyuan. Miss, you may want to find an opportunity to make friends with them."

After taking the list and taking a look at it, Su Juan immediately looked at Shen Ruhui with new eyes.

[Shen Ruhui is really amazing. I didn't expect many of these people to be good.]

Xie Xun also wanted to go over to take a look, but the list was taken away by Su Juan, so he didn't even see it.

“???” Xie Xun’s face turned green.

Is this the same boat?

Shen Ruhui looked at Xie Xun's expression and asked, "Master Xie, do you have anything to say?"

Xie Xun: "Aren't you going to show me the list?"

Su Juan declined, "I have put it away, it is not easy to take it out again."

[Is it okay for me to show it to you? 】

Xie Xun was immediately indignant, "Can't I just take a look at the list? Maybe there are people I know on it!"

These two people must be excluding me!

Su Juan's forehead twitched and he laughed dryly, "There's no one you know. You're overthinking."

"You guys want to drink, so I won't bother you."

With that, she quickly stood up and left.

[Just kidding, I don’t know how you will mess things up if you know this. 】

Xie Xun: You just look down on me!

Mr. Xie has connections all over the capital, so it only takes a word for him to win over anyone.

[Just take Cai Tingzheng's son, how many times have you slandered him outside? ]

[This feud has been going on for several years, right? ]

Instead of asking Xie Xun to help him make friends and win over others, he might as well just go home and have a good sleep.

Xie Xun:?!

What the hell, Cai Yanzheng’s son, Cai Yi! ?

That boy is so hypocritical, a hypocrite who talks about righteousness all the time. How could Shen Ruhui actually like such a person!

Su Juan actually agreed. What’s wrong with these two people?

Aren’t we all on the same boat? There has to be a first come first served order, right?

Don’t you need to consult with the people on the same boat before bringing anyone on board?!

After Su Juan left, Xie Xun immediately pulled Shen Ruhui aside and gave her some advice, "I'm telling you, you can win over anyone you want, but you must not win over Cai Yanzheng's son Cai Yi!"

Shen Ruhui was curious. "Mr. Cai was once the Prince's Junior Tutor. If he had not been seriously ill at home in his early years, Mr. Cai would have had a seat in the court now. Mr. Cai's remarks were also inherited from Mr. Cai. Why can't he be the Prince?"

Xie Xun's veins were throbbing with anger. "Cai Yi is a hypocrite. He talks a lot of great truths, but in fact he is a complete villain. How can we recruit such a person?"

On his birthday that year, he went on a boat trip with a few friends. His friends asked a few girls from Baihua Tower to play the piano on the boat. They met Cai Yi and he warmly invited her.

Cai Yi declined politely and wrote an article instead, the whole article satirizing the extravagance of the nobles in the capital. He did not name any names, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell who he was scolding.

This article was passed on to the old emperor, who immediately locked him up in his mansion to copy books. For three whole months, he could not even leave the courtyard.

Later, when he met Cai Yi again, he sought to settle the score with him. Cai Yi apologized profusely, but then he turned around and wrote another article, and he was imprisoned for another three months.

How can we accept such a person who says one thing in public and another in private?

Shen Ruhui saw Xie Xun's reaction and laughed, "It seems that there is a misunderstanding between the prince and Cai Yi."

Xie Xun was furious: "Misunderstanding!"

Shen Ruhui smiled without saying anything, lowered his eyes and drank, thinking: It seems that Xie Xun made the right choice in choosing the person he disliked.

Xie Xun looked at Shen Ruhui and realized that she didn't take his words seriously at all. "Forget it, forget it. I won't talk to you. I'll go talk to Su Juan!"

Shen Ruhui was with Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan was with Cai Yi, so it was obvious that he was not with himself.

Only Su Juan can go with me!
