I never thought it would be a Chinese book order.

After Qin Ji was in high school, he was appreciated by the Chinese scholar Ling Ban Zhengxuan, recommended to the first emperor, and was able to become the prince's companion.

Since then, they have been in the same boat, and the two of them have discussed matters together and never concealed their thoughts. In this way, one sat in the position of the second grade of the middle book, and the other became the emperor's most trusted and reused fifth grade middle scholar.

Although they have used each other, they have also had a lot of friendship over the years, like a father and son.

In the imperial study during the day, Zhongshu Ling agreed with his idea.

Why did he not say anything to him later, and then put forward the same meaning as the Yi Wang faction?

The people have already been sent out, and if the wild horses that have escaped do not come back, what needs to be done now is how to make amends for what is happening now.

Seeing that Qin Ji didn't speak, the emperor hurriedly said: "I think the strategy proposed by the Zhongshu Order is feasible, you can rest assured." ”

Qin Ji smiled lightly: "Since there is a Zhongshu order arranged in it, the ministers will naturally put ten thousand hearts. It's just that Zhongshuling is old, and it is really difficult for him to work so hard, so it is better to wait for a few ministers to assist him, first, to share some of the labor, and secondly, this matter must be safe. ”

He took a deep look at the emperor.

The emperor understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Then you can go." ”

Out of the palace gate, Qin Ji looked at the clear sky, and he didn't know if Zhizhi was also looking at the sky?

He lowered his eyes and calmed down.

Don't sweep away all these difficulties and obstacles. How can there be a safe and beautiful scenery?

He walked briskly down the steps.

Zhongshu Ling was in the Yamen of Zhongshu Province located in the imperial city at this time, facing the Gyeonggi defense map on the case in a daze, when Qin Ji entered the door, his shoulder hit the door and made a "bang" sound, he didn't come back to his senses.

Gu Zhongyi couldn't hold his breath first, threw himself in front of Lao Zhongshuling, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you change your mind?"

Zhongshu ordered a "hmm", looked up at them, and said in a calm tone: "You are all here." Have a seat. ”

He was calm and calm, as if everything was under control.

After everyone took their seats, he said, "Today, when Zhao Zhong and a few of them asked to send troops to the north to suppress the mob. I think you can guess their intentions as much as I do, right? Since the Yi Wang faction wants to usurp the throne. There's always going to be a trap waiting for them to fall into the trap, I think...... Now is a good time. Rest assured, although 10,000 people have been transferred. But the capital Quartet and the imperial city of Miyagi. It's all secretly rearranged. King Yi never knew that today would be a big trap. ”

Qin Ji arched his hand. "How is it arranged?"

Zhongshu Ling pushed the map in front of them, "You will know if you look closely." ”

The map was redrawn with a red pen, and Qin Ji and Gu Zhongyi looked at it carefully. It is true that the water that surrounds several important places is impassable.

Qin Ji's gaze left Yutu and glanced at Zhongshu Ling.

It was late at night, and Zhongshu Ling was about sleepy, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and his head was little by little, and it seemed that it was possible to fall asleep.

He and Gu Zhongyi glanced at each other.

Although King Yi doesn't seem to be very reliable on the surface, he has been obscure for many years and has not aroused any suspicion. If it weren't for Yu Yanshen's case to dig deeper, I'm afraid I wouldn't know about it for a while. It can be seen that His Royal Highness King Yi still has some means, so will he not know that tonight's hexagram is a trap laid out?

Will he still cower, or will he take the risk?

Qin Ji prefers that he will not do anything, although the opportunity is tempting, but the odds are too low. No one is going to risk falling short for this.

Zhu Hengshan went out with soldiers and horses, and collected local generals all the way, and when he returned to Beijing, those soldiers and generals might have become rebels.

So they're still on the disadvantage.

And Lao Zhongshu has been in officialdom for many years, how could he not think of this?

Qin Ji raised his eyes, stared at Zhongshu Ling faintly, and then glanced at the other two people in the room.

Lao Zhongshu Ling finally couldn't bear the sleepiness, lowered his head, and fell asleep.

The three of them went outside to talk.

"The top priority is to get rid of Zhu Hengshan. Qin Ji said: "If the defense drawn by the map is true, don't worry that King Yi will do it and succeed." ”

The servant nodded, "I agree with the Qin Sheren's opinion. ”

Gu Zhongyi glared at the bright door, "The old Chinese book is too confused. Zhu Hengshan's martial arts are extraordinary and powerful, and he can lift the treasure in front of the main hall by himself, and he didn't show the emperor a monkey show a year ago? If such a person wants to get rid of him, he must find a master who can kill him with one move, otherwise it will be difficult to do it again. ”

Qin Ji said: "I have one candidate for this area. Since everyone agreed with this, I sent someone to do it. ”

Gu Zhongyi responded: "Okay." He waited for Qin Ji to finish instructing the little official waiting at the door, and then said: "Zhongshu Ling did this, it is really incredible, what does he think? I'm afraid I won't tell the truth if I ask him directly." ”

"So I don't want to ask for now, just settle the matter. Qin Ji touched his chin and said, "Before that, don't let Zhongshu Ling face the saint alone." ”

Gu Zhongyi was worried, "No matter what, he should be the right minister." ”

Qin Ji sighed, "Leave it to me." ”

Gu Zhongyi and his subordinates glanced at each other, with an expression of "entrusting all the great tasks to you".

There was a puzzled "um" sound in the house, thinking that it was Zhongshuling who suddenly woke up, and the three of them returned to the house to do a good job.

Zhongshu Ling rubbed his eyes, "By the way, Qin Ji, I have already proposed to the emperor to nominate you as the new Zhongshu squire." You are the emperor's most valued courtier, and you should have a higher status. ”

Qin Ji didn't have the heart to be polite with him, so he respectfully bowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”

The subordinate servant and Gu Zhongyi each said goodbye, and then found an excuse to leave. In fact, he went to inspect the fortifications in the city.

After Qin Ji finished explaining a bunch of matters, he came out of the imperial city, rode on his horse and prepared to go to the city gate to have a look. Halfway down the road, a man dressed as Jin Wuwei waved at him at the entrance of the alley, and then disappeared into the darkness.

He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still looked back and forth, and ordered Hang Yang to lead the people to continue walking, while he quickly burrowed into the alley.

In the midst of the high walls on both sides, a carriage was heard in the shadows. The horse stands still. He didn't move, and he didn't see the shadow of the coachman beside him, nor did he see the man of the Golden Guard.

There was silence all around, and even the most common chirping of insects in summer could not be heard.

It's as if everything in the alley is still.

He jumped off his horse. Hop on the wheels quickly. Lift the curtain and get in.

There was only one small light in the carriage. Someone was sitting on the desk under the lamp, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head and smiled gently at Qin Ji, "I want to see you." It's not easy. ”

After Qin Ji saluted, he sat down opposite him and asked, "I don't know what you want to do when you look for me in the middle of the night?"

The man put down the pen and paper, took out two wine glasses and a pot of wine from under the small table, poured two glasses, and handed one of them to Qin Ji, "I couldn't be there to congratulate you yesterday when you got married, so I will make up this glass of wine today." ”

"Thank you. Qin Ji drank the wine down.

The man said, "Are you in a hurry to go?"

"There is a change in the city, and I have to go. Qin Ji's voice suddenly became half cold, "If you are just saying goodbye, then I have already received your mind and said goodbye." ”

"Wait. The man waved his hand, "I heard that you were elected as the new Zhongshu Squire by the Zhongshu Order?"

"Yes. Qin Ji was not surprised at all that he was so well-informed.

There was a hint of satisfaction between the man's eyebrows, and he said, "I also heard that the emperor is preparing to tour south?"

"Yes. Qin Ji raised his eyes and looked at the person under the lamp, the candlelight shining brightly in his eyes, "That is your best chance." ”

"Very good, but it is foreseeable that there will be a lot of opposition from you, and you must make this southern tour go smoothly. ”

"It's inevitable. Qin Ji said.

"Until then, those hurdles need to be cleared. ”

Qin Ji suddenly thought of something, and he nodded quietly, "I understand." ”

The man smiled even more and poured two more glasses of wine, "I wish us all the best." ”

Qin Ji picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then left the carriage.

He turned his back to the carriage and glanced sideways, revealing a hint of annoyance, his fingers slightly bent, but before they could be tightened, he released again. He sighed silently, and rode his horse out of the alley.

The night was deeper, and everything was silent.

"Madam, it's past the time of the child. Jewel reminded softly.

Yu Mingzhi looked out the window, and the only movement at this time was the footsteps of the patrolling nursing home passing by.

The words in my hand have already been read, and the ice cubes in the basin will have melted long ago, and I asked the little maid to change the basin again.

"Did Qin Ji send back any news?" she asked.

"But before he sent a message that all was well, and there was no other news so far. Zhu'er said: "Look, it's very quiet outside, and I don't think there will be any chaos." ”

Yu Mingzhi continued to look out the window, people's hearts were unpredictable, let alone the hearts of enemies.

If King Yi's faction dares to make trouble tonight, then his father's unjust case will be revealed.

She can't say, whether she wants or doesn't want it, only one thing remains the same, that is, Qin Ji can come back safely.

Zhu'er looked at the tiredness in her expression, "Madam, the slave and maid are waiting for you to rest first?" She said this deliberately to Miss Chu, who had been lying here and refused to leave.

Miss Chu's body trembled slightly, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, she reached out and grabbed Yu Mingzhi's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Madam, can I accompany you for a while?"

Yu Mingzhi said: "Miss Chu, what Zhu'er said is right, there will be no problem in this future." You might as well go back to your own room and sleep. ”

Miss Chu shook her head, "I'm still afraid...... I'm so cowardly, I make you laugh, right? After all, I've experienced danger before, and it's really scary. ”

Only by going through the wind and rain can we become stronger. Yu Mingzhi knew that it was the first time he had seen someone who was becoming more and more timid like this, but Miss Chu's words were reminding her of the life-saving grace of the year, right?

She likes to say, then let her go.

She continued to pretend not to understand, and gently persuaded: "It's really going to be fine, you see, there are so many nursing homes in our house." ”

Miss Chu still held Yu Mingzhi's hand and refused to let go. She looked through the open window and looked at the side room, where several little maids were packing up their things, bringing hot water, and preparing to wait for Yu Mingzhi to freshen up and rest.

It used to be a house where Qin Ji lived alone.

She thought so.

However, after living in this mansion for many years, she has not been able to enter it once.

Once, she brought the tonic soup that had been boiled for three hours and sent it to Qin Ji's study. Qin Ji told her to let it go, and drink it when it was a little colder, obviously so that she could go.

But she didn't, pretending to be overworked, covering her forehead and fainting.

At that time, although Qin Ji held her in his arms, he quickly turned around and handed her into the hands of the maid and carried her back to his yard.

As a life-saving benefactor, he couldn't even faint and let her go to his room to lie down for a while.

And this woman, who had only known him for a few months, since she could be his wife, entered the wing room in a grand manner and slept in the same bed with him.

Thinking of this, she went crazy with jealousy.

Tonight, even if you want to be with this woman, let her lie down in that bed and sleep.

"Madam, we are sisters, and it is better to talk at night. She added.

Yu Mingzhi sighed, now that there is no danger, why is she so insistent? She followed her gaze to the wing, and seemed to see extreme longing in her eyes.

Zhu'er smiled: "Miss Chu, madam, she is tired, why don't you say anything tomorrow morning?"

Miss Chu glared at her obliquely, none of these maids in the house, especially those who followed Guo Baozhi, caught her eye, and she would not compare herself with them, and naturally she would not follow their advice.

"Good sister, you can promise me this time. She said, squeezing out two tears.

Yu Mingzhi said: "I'm younger than you. ”

"......" Miss Chu was stunned.

Yu Mingzhi smiled gently, and instructed the maid standing outside the door, "Send Miss Chu back, if there is anything you want to say to me, when you have a good rest and have enough spirits, you can say it all." ”

"......" Miss Chu opened her mouth, this woman actually dared to contradict her like this! "You...... How can you talk to me like that?" she said, tears pouring out like a flood bursting the embankment, and soon wet her fair and beautiful cheeks, which looked like pear blossoms with rain, and she was indescribably pitiful.

"Oh?" Yu Mingzhi looked surprised, "Am I not right?"

"You ......" Miss Chu only felt a dull pain in her chest, and bent down holding the pain.

Yu Mingzhi sneered, and hurriedly instructed the maid, "Why don't you help Miss Chu back to the house and lie down, and then call the doctor Zhen in the house to come and take a look?"

"Yes!" the maids responded in unison and sent Miss Chu away in an orderly manner.

The courtyard door was closed, and it was quiet.

Finally sending away this difficult one, Yu Mingzhi moved his muscles and bones, and said to Zhu'er: "I still can't sleep, you can go and see the news of Qin Ji again." (To be continued.) )
