On the top of the main hall, Yuan Zhize and Chen Qian sat side by side, holding a saucer, tasting the fragrant tea in the cup, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was slightly silent.

"Brother Chen must have been clear about what he wanted to do when he came to Hanzhong this time, right?" Yuan Zhize put down the teacup in his hand and asked lightly.

Chen Qian nodded slightly and replied: "Chen Mou came this time, Lord Situ has already explained, and the prince does not need to worry." After listening to Chen Qian's words, Yuan Zhize seemed to be relieved, and his tone of voice became relaxed.

"The imperial court was able to send Brother Chen here this time, which is really beyond the expectations of this king. After speaking, Yuan Zhize gestured to me with his eyes, and I hurriedly stepped forward and filled the cups of the two.

"The incident happened suddenly, in fact, the emperor's original candidate was not Chen, but Lord Huang. "Are you talking about that Huang Ji?" Yuan Zhize's face changed suddenly, and he reacted strongly to Chen Qian's words. "It's that Huang Ji. Chen Qian looked at Yuan Zhize squarely and nodded quietly.

Yuan Zhize leaned on the chair with some disdain and sighed, and said slowly: "It seems that my father is still not at ease with me, and he actually wants to find a second person to investigate this matter." ”

Chen Qian recalled: "On the top of the main hall that day, we and everyone else objected to this, that Huang was young and stood up, and only followed the Hou of Guan Nei out of Yanzhou, and did not have much merit, but now the saint is uncompromising. ”

Yuan Zhize scraped the lid of the cup and scraped the tea leaves floating on the water and said: "My father is such a person, the more others oppose it, the more he wants to do it." It took a lot of effort to convince him this time, right?"

"The prince may not believe it, but the person who succeeded in convincing the emperor this time was not the elders of the court. "Oh?" Chen Qian's words aroused Yuan Zhize's interest, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Impossible, except for the elders, who else can say that the emperor can move?"

"Queen Mother!" As soon as Chen Qian's words came out, Yuan Zhize and I couldn't help but be stunned, how could this be possible, how could that Queen Mother help Yuan Zhize speak?

"It can't be, it's impossible. Yuan Zhize shook his head, expressing disbelief. "Actually, when I first found out, I thought it was absolutely impossible, but that's just the way it is. The queen mother is quite scheming, and the intention of this action is not even guessed by Lord Situ. Chen Qian said slowly.

"It is undeniable that that woman is indeed a lot higher than others in terms of mind. Yuan Zhize sighed, and then fell into deep thought.

Chen Qian drank the tea in his cup by himself, got up and said, "Lord Wang, Chen has not visited Lord Taishou yet, so now I will leave for the mansion first." Chen Qian's words made Yuan Zhize suddenly sober up, and got up to send him off: "Brother Chen, the relevant information about this matter is now stored in the mansion, you can go and look it up to see if you have a clue, the matter is sensitive these days, this king can't contact you too closely for the time being, wait until the matter is clear, I will call Zhiyu and we will discuss the countermeasures carefully." ”

"Can he find out the real murderer?" I muttered to myself as Chen Qian's carriage gradually submerged in the crowd, his thin appearance was really not reassuring. "If he doesn't have any real skills, can he sit in the position of the middle prince in the imperial history? In terms of breaking prison, Chen Qian is also one of the best masters in the court. Let's go, let's go back. Yuan Zhize stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder and said.

"Zhize, why did you say the queen mother helped you?" On the way back, I was still worried about the unsolved mystery in my heart. "Who knows, maybe the woman is up to something. Yuan Zhize also seems to be preoccupied. Why? It's a puzzling question.

"By the way, Zhize, why haven't I seen you go to the government?" suddenly found a problem, Yuan Zhize said that he went to the military camp every time he went out, and he had never been to the government. "What am I going to do in the government?" Yuan Zhize was also surprised by my question. "You... Aren't you the king of Hanzhong? Don't you handle the affairs of Hanzhong?"

Hearing me say this, Yuan Zhize also understood, and explained: "You misunderstood, although my name is the King of Hanzhong, it doesn't mean that I am the Emperor of the Earth in Hanzhong, just because Hanzhong is my food yi, food yi, understand?"

Seeing that I shook his head, Yuan Zhize continued: "The so-called food yi means that the imperial court handed over to me the tribute collected from the people of Hanzhong, which is what it means. "Oh, I understand, that means you can only collect taxes from them, but government affairs are controlled by the imperial court, right?" Yuan Zhize nodded slightly: "Exactly, all the kings divided by this dynasty are like this, and there is no such feudal state as you said." ”

"I see," this question was finally clarified, but when I thought that Yuan Zhize was actually a bare-bones commander, the problem came again. "Then since you and the king of Chengdu are not feudal countries, why can you hold heavy troops?"

"Haha..."Yuan Zhize laughed: "These are completely different things, I have the power of the army because I am the general of the expedition to the west appointed by the imperial court, and Zhiyu is the general of Pingnan, and it has nothing to do with whether we are the prince or not." Officially, Shiyu is my deputy. "After listening to Zhize's words, I understood why the old king of Chengdu ran to Hanzhong.
