That night, after a warm dinner in the Yangxin Palace, the family of four started making mooncakes.

Outside the imperial palace, an inconspicuous carriage stopped outside the residence of Liu Junwen, the head of the Imperial Clan Hall.

The driver went up and looked around the alley, then took out a visiting card and handed it to the doorman.

Then, he returned to the carriage and waited quietly.

The porter took the visiting card and looked into the carriage. The curtains were drawn and it was dark inside and nothing could be seen.

When Liu Zongshou, who was soaking his feet, saw the visiting card in his hand, he handed it back without a second thought; "No."

The attendant took the visiting card, turned around and walked out the door, handed the gift to the doorman, and conveyed his master's words.

A moment later, the people in the carriage outside the mansion were speechless after hearing the doorman's response.

The carriage slowly moved forward. After it had gone quite far, someone in the carriage spoke up. "I've told you that this won't work with the Imperial Clan Hall. If they had the same mind as us, they would have expressed it long ago." "Then what should we do?" "What else can we do? Go to Fan's Mansion as planned."

"That's right. Academician Fan is your maternal grandfather, so it's only natural that he should consider your majesty."

"That's right, Luo Yi left tactfully."

"Zhe, can you please keep your voice down? Be careful, the walls may have ears."

The carriage arrived outside the scholar's residence, and the people in the carriage were confidently waiting for someone to come and invite them in.

The reason why I went to the people in Yuzongtang first was that I felt that if it worked, there would be no need to come to see Academician Fan.

After all, for this matter, it would be more appropriate for someone from Yu Zong Tang to come forward.

I didn't expect to run into a wall everywhere, so I had no choice but to come here.

Scholar Fan will definitely come to greet him personally. After all, everything they are doing is for his grandson.

According to everyone's analysis, the reason why Academician Fan has not said anything until now is entirely because of his relationship with the emperor. There are some things that are not appropriate for him to talk about.

Well, now that these ministers have proposed it, isn't that what he wants most? They will do the offending things, and he just needs to take advantage of the situation.

"Sir, sir." Just when the people in the carriage were thinking about whether they should behave properly when they met Mr. Fan, the driver shouted in a low voice outside.

The driver was of course not a real driver, but an attendant of one of them.

What we are doing tonight needs to be low-key, so the adults brought this one subordinate with them.

"Calm down, why are you so nervous?" The coachman's master scolded in a low voice with some dissatisfaction, and took advantage of the light from the door of the house outside the carriage to straighten his clothes and prepare to get off.

He thought that his subordinate stuttered because he was about to meet the second-rank Hanlin Academy scholar, the grandfather of the current emperor, so he was a little nervous and excited. He was really worldly-wise, so embarrassing. I won't take him with me next time I go out!

"Your Excellency, the people at the Fan Mansion said that the Grand Secretary has gone to bed and is not seeing guests." The person being scolded responded in a low voice with trepidation.

It seems that he didn't check the almanac before going out tonight. He was rejected repeatedly. You can imagine that the master is in a bad mood.

"You didn't see me?"

"If we don't want to see him, then we can go back and wait for him to come to us and beg us for help."

In the carriage, the atmosphere seemed even more depressing because of the lack of light.

His master hadn't spoken yet, so the driver didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to act on his own and drive back. He lowered his head and waited nervously for his master's orders.

He couldn't understand it in his heart. His Majesty's own grandfather was not anxious or worried about it, so why were the master and these ministers so worried?

It's a thankless job, why bother?

p; "Why don't you go back quickly? What are you standing there for?" A familiar voice finally came from inside the car.

He then turned around in a hurry and drove the carriage back.

Everyone in the carriage was in a bad mood because of what happened tonight and they encountered setbacks everywhere.

The driver outside was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve while driving the carriage. He also looked around and thought that what his master and other ministers were doing was not credible.

Although what the master and other ministers were going to do was for the good of the current emperor, the fact that they were doing it in secret made him feel uneasy and guilty.

The current emperor has a miserable life experience, and both his biological parents are no longer around.

Fortunately, the Duke and his wife treated him like their own son. Anyone with a conscience would not do something ungrateful.

If you say that the Duke and his wife have ulterior motives, then there must at least be definite evidence.

If we conclude that others have ulterior motives based on the ministers' speculations, this is too untenable.

By the way, if the emperor really listens to your advice and asks the Duke and his wife to move out of the palace, then is such an emperor still worthy of your support and assistance?

The more he thought about it, the more panicked the driver became, and he began to wonder whether he should find a way to leave this master as soon as possible.

Even if I go back to my hometown in the countryside to farm, life may be hard, but at least I don't have to worry.

Inside the residence of Grand Secretary Fan, the "asleep" Grand Secretary Fan Puchang sat in front of the desk in neatly dressed robes, frowning and silent. His sons were also silent beside them.

"Master, since you don't agree with their proposal, why didn't you see them just now? Why don't you talk to them face to face?" Yuan stepped forward to change the salt tea and said softly.

Fan Puchang sighed softly, "When they proposed it in the court that day, I didn't agree with it, didn't I already make my attitude clear? They have already got stuck in a dead end, do you think they will listen if I talk to them face to face?

In their hearts, I am the one who clearly agrees with what they say but does not want to be the bad guy and just wants to reap the benefits.

It is said that Duke Xue and his wife have ulterior motives. If Qiao and the other two really want the throne that Brother Hui sits on, do you think anyone can stop them?

Although Brother Hui is young, he is very adept at doing his job as the emperor.

Do you think these are all born in Brother Hui's nature? Is he the material to be an emperor?

No, that's not it, Brother Hui just occupies a royal status.

The reason why he was so calm and capable of governing the country at such a young age was actually because of the couple.

To say that they have bad intentions? That's really funny. If they wanted to make Brother Hui a puppet, why would they teach him so well? Wouldn't it be easier to control a waste?"

"What father said makes sense. If Xue Wenyu had any ulterior motives, he would definitely be in the court all day long. How could he almost never attend court after Brother Hui took over?"

"But, after all, these ministers are also for our brother Hui's good, but a little...

"But, after all, these ministers are doing this for our brother Hui's benefit. It's just that they are a little, how should I put it, worrying about the wrong things."

Brother Hui's original name was Zhou Junjie. After his identity was restored, he changed his surname back, but he still insisted that his family members call him Brother Hui.

"Father, what should we do about this matter? It looks like those people won't give up." Mo family's eldest brother Fan Weiting asked with some concern.

After all, I hope my nephew will not have to worry about anything other than state affairs...
