Chapter 1532 Invitation

Zhou Fan came out of the official department and just glanced back. He had not forgotten that there were many conflicts between him and the Wild Fox Sect, but now, he is not in his own territory. Even if he really wants to take revenge, he must find the right opportunity. Say it again.

He also sent the carriage to the General Office of Yiluan Division, preparing to pay a visit to the East Gate of Da Sishou to play the flute.

The Seventh Dao Master of Great Wei was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary, so of course he had to pay a visit to this Shangguan.

It's just that he came to the general office of the Yiluan Division and made a famous post, but was told by a small official that the chief of the chief was in a bad condition and it was not suitable for him to see guests.

Zhou Fan: "..."

He understood that Dongmen playing the flute did not want to see him. He had heard that Dongmen playing the flute was a rare neutral faction in the court, and now it seems that the rumor is true...

When Dongmen played the flute and didn't see him, he didn't stay outside, but got on the carriage and went back to the academy. The three sons were in the academy. He was a little worried.

Returning to his residence in the academy, he found that the three Zhou Xiaobai were cultivating seriously, while the little sister was sleeping on her stomach. He was relieved, and felt that his worries were unnecessary.

With the attitude of Xiaobai and the three of them who don't care about everything, how could they leave the residence?

It was only at noon that someone outside his residence was calling him, "Is Master Zhou there?"

Zhou Fan gestured to the three of Xiaobai, and the three of Xiaobai stopped practicing. Zhou Fan replied, "Yes, who is it?"

He opened the door and found that it was the gatekeeper of the academy. He entered and exited the academy, so he had some impressions of this gatekeeper.

The concierge of the academy can enter here, of course, only with permission.

"Master Zhou, here are three invitations for you." The concierge handed the three invitations to Zhou Fan, "These three invitations arrived at about the same time, so I sent them together."

He was explaining that he did not delay.

invitation?

Zhou Fan's face was calm, he took the invitation and thanked him. After the concierge left, he closed the door and looked at the red invitation carefully.

He doesn't have many familiar people in the mirror, who would invite him?

He opened the three invitations and looked at them one by one. After reading the three invitations, his expression became strange.

The identities of the inviters of the three invitations are all distinguished and identical, and they are all Princes of Wei!

The invitations were sent by the eldest prince, the forty-fifth prince, and the one hundred and one princes.

The eldest prince invited him to appreciate the spring flowers.

The forty-five princes invited him to a poetry party.

The one hundred and one prince invited him to watch the martial arts competition.

Zhou Fan looked at the three invitations and fell silent. He understood that this was likely to be a win, and behind it was the battle between the princes over the succession of the throne.

Emperor Wei has been in power for more than 200 years. If there is no physical problem, he should be able to live for a long time. After all, this is not an ordinary person.

So before he came to Jingdu, he never thought about the prince.

Could it be that there is a problem with the body of the emperor of the Great Wei, and the danger is at stake. Have the princes of the Great Wei already begun to compete for the right of inheritance?

If this is the case, then he, the Master of the One Path, will of course become the object of struggle.

But it shouldn't, if there is something wrong with Emperor Wei's body, it is impossible for the academy to not disclose any news to him.

Or maybe he thinks too much.

Zhou Fan thought about it for a while, and after talking to the three of Xiaobai, he left the residence and came to Mr. Da's residence to call. After no one responded, he took out the message sign and gave it to Mr. Da. Sent a message.

After so much trouble, he found Duanmu Xiaohong, gave the three invitations to Duanmu Xiaohong, and briefly explained the matter again.

Duanmu Xiaohong looked at the invitation at random, he thought for a while and said: "You are the Taoist master, and now you are in Jingdu, it is not surprising that they want to win you over. In Jingdu, princes have always been very active, as long as they do not offend Great Wei's law, the sage has always been too lazy to pay attention to them, you don't need to think about it."

If Mr. Da said this, it is not that there is a problem with Emperor Wei's body, it is just that the princes operate regularly... Zhou Fan thought silently, and he quickly said: "Then how should I deal with these invitations?"

"This..." Duanmu Xiaohong said helplessly: "I've never been good at these things... By the way, you can ask Fifth Junior Brother to hear his opinion. He recently said that he wants to meet you."

Zhou Fan soon met Chen Zheng, the fifth disciple of the sage, in the academy.

"Mr. Five." Zhou Fan smiled and saluted, "Thank you for your care all the time."

He can go so smoothly in the officialdom, and the support of the academy's civil servant faction is a lot, and the civil servants of the academy are mainly led by Chen Zheng. Even if Mr. Da doesn't say it, Zhou Fan knows that Chen Zheng has made a lot of efforts here. .

Chen Zheng laughed and said, "Since you call me Mr. Wu, then I won't call you Lord Zhou."

"Mr. Wu, just call me Zhou Fan." Zhou Fan said, the other party is older than him, even calling him by his first name is nothing.

Chen Zheng responded politely. He was chatting with Zhou Fan, but he was observing Zhou Fan. When he saw Zhou Fan, he didn't understand why the teacher and the big brother attached so much importance to this person?

You must know that Zhou Fan is the academy that he joined halfway through. Of course, Zhou Fan has also proved his strength now. Even the core disciples that the academy has carefully cultivated cannot become the master of the one at this age.

Zhou Fan became the master of Hanbei Daoist, even though the Daoist master was estranged from all factions on the surface... but it was also of great help to the academy.

After a few chats, Zhou Fan said all the troubles he encountered.

Chen Zheng restrained his thoughts and listened carefully. After listening, he picked up the invitation and looked at it again, and said with a relaxed smile: "This is easy to solve, it depends on what you want to do. If you don't want to go, then push it all away. Now, if you want to meet these princes, you have to go all of them."

Zhou Fan was slightly startled, he didn't understand a little.

"You are a foreign minister who holds a lot of power. It is best to see none of them. Then you have shown that you don't want to befriend the prince, so that after they understand, no one dares to say anything more." Chen Zheng explained.

"It's the same if you want to go. You don't refuse invitations, and you've seen them all. That means you're just being polite and don't want to offend the prince. They will also understand."

"I can understand all of them, but if I go to see them, will I make the Sage unhappy?" Zhou Fan frowned.

In his opinion, isn't it a taboo to have an affair with the prince?

"It might be the case in other countries." Chen Zheng chuckled lightly, "But the sage doesn't care about this kind of thing. In Jingdu, any minister in the court can be in good contact with the prince in an open and honest manner. convicted."

"The sage is really kind." Zhou Fan was silent for a while and praised. He thought that as a king, he would definitely be very afraid of this kind of thing, but he didn't expect that he would turn a blind eye to it.

It was really turning a blind eye, otherwise Chen Zheng would not have said so.

"Sacred Lord Kuanren, but you are a Taoist master after all, so you still have to pay attention to the influence, don't let some people find the opportunity to impeach you, so either you don't see it or you see it all." Chen Zheng said again.

"I don't know much about the princes. I hope Mr. Wu can tell me something about them." Zhou Fan already had some thoughts on the matter, but he still wanted to know more.

Chen Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Except for those princesses who cannot inherit the great lineage, so far, there have been two hundred and three princes in the sage."
