Chapter 058: Dancing with Demons (2)

"What the hell is she trying to do?"

Gu Jialuo told the things mentioned in Ah Zhuo's letter, rubbing his eyebrows, his tone full of helplessness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"......" Qi Jinzhi didn't speak, and his expression was a little heavy.

Gu Jialuo did not specify who 'she' was, but Qi Jin knew that his wife was the eldest princess.

Also, the eldest princess is the ancestor of Dongqi, and when the Ning family has been ill for a long time, only this ancestor can do the marriage of the master Qi Qin.

If she really fell in love with Zhan Aduo, it would be fine, but Zhan Aduo had been in Beijing for more than a year, but the eldest princess didn't seem to know about it, but instead asked Qi Qinzhi to marry a noble girl in Beijing.

There are all kinds of indications that the eldest princess doesn't look down on Ah Duo at all, let alone let her be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Dongqi.

But now, news came from Meng Buding again, saying that Qi Qinzhi was going to marry Ah Duo.

How do you look at this thing, how strange it is!

"There is one more thing," Gu Jialuo leaned forward, leaned into Qi Jinzhi's ear and whispered, "Is the rumor of the begging treasure true?" ”

Their young couple was far away from the capital, and the news was a little lagging behind, but Gu Jialuo still knew a lot of gossip.

For example, there are various rumors about the eldest princess's 'reset'.

Qi Jinzhi was slightly startled, habitually looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice, "Father said that a month ago, there was a sudden heavy rain in Beijing, and the underground waterway was blocked, and the sage specially ordered someone to clean it up. ”

Gu Jialuo frowned slightly, what does cleaning the sewer have to do with the begging treasure?

Qi Jinzhi said quietly, "The person in charge of this matter, in addition to a member of the Ministry of Industry, there is also a thousand households of Jinyiwei." ”

Gu Jialuo's phoenix eyes widened, and the flower-like lip flaps were torn into a diamond shape, "What?" ”

Cleaning up a sewer even the most mysterious brocade guard?

Suddenly, Gu Jialuo's mind flashed with inspiration, and he asked in a low voice, "Could it be?" "Is it fake to clean up the sewers, but is it true to dig up treasures?

Qi Jinzhi met her suspicious eyes, bowed slightly, and didn't speak, but the subtext was already very clear.

Gu Jia Luo Sisi took a breath and muttered, "Is this really the case? But I don't know if the treasure is as rich as the legend says. ”

Gu Jialuo originally just muttered casually, not wanting Qi Jinzhi to give an answer, only to hear him whisper: "Very rich, there are rumors in the capital, saying that those who get treasures will win the world!" ”

The 'rumors' mentioned by Qi Jinzhi are not unreliable speculations made up by those boring idlers in the market, but news that has been discovered by the Qi family's secret agents in every possible way.

It is said to be a rumor, but it is seven or eight points accurate.

Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi have been getting along these days, and naturally they also know some of the secrets of the Qi family, and Qi Jinzhi's words, if not absolute facts, are not much different.

"The one who gets the treasure wins the world?!" Gu Jialuo repeated this sentence silently, and his heart had already set off turbulent waves.

In her opinion, this sentence does not mean that there is any magic in the treasure, let alone auspiciousness, and if you get it, you can take the world of Great Qi.

The true meaning of these words should be that the treasure is very rich, enough to support people with intentions to recruit troops and horses, and seek to usurp the throne!

“…… No, that's not right,"

After a brief shock, she came back to her senses, "She is not a generous master, and the false name of a princess alone is not enough for her to give up the 'treasure'." "Or the opportunity to fight for the world!

A flash of satisfaction flashed in Qi Jinzhi's eyes, and he knew that his Ah Luo was an extremely intelligent person.

Lowering his voice, Qi Jinzhi slowly said his and his father's guesses, "You're right, that person has never been willing to suffer. She must have a plan in doing so. There are rumors in Beijing that she has some dealings with this one. ”

Qi Jinzhi quietly stretched out a thumb and little thumb.

Gu Jialuo narrowed his eyes, the sixth prince?! Today's Prince Yan?

The saint is more than forty years old, and has given birth to nineteen princes with harem concubines, and eight are still alive. They are the eldest son, the crown prince, the fifth son, the sixth son, the ninth son, the twelfth son, the fifteenth son, and the eighteenth son.

Among them, several before the ninth son of the emperor were all knighted by the saint and went out of the palace to build a mansion.

Among the five princes including the eldest son of the emperor, in addition to the crown prince produced by Queen Ma, the eldest son of the emperor born by Concubine Tang Defei and the fifth son of the emperor born by Concubine Yang Shu are the most prominent.

Especially the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son of the saint, and his mother's background is not low, although not as noble as Queen Ma, but he is the highest among all the concubines who gave birth to the prince.

The eldest son of the emperor has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he looks quite like a saint, and he is deeply liked by the queen mother and the saint.

When he was fifteen years old, the sage directly named him the king of Qi and the prince, and also made him an errand in the household department, which was very important.

The eldest son of the emperor is gentle and elegant, kind to people, and over the years, he has made some 'colleagues', and his reputation in Shilin is also very good.

There are quite a few families in Beijing and Qingliu Wenchen who were co-opted by the emperor's eldest son and faintly became a supporter of King Qi.

After more than ten years of operation, King Qi became the crown prince's biggest competitor.

The fifth son of the emperor is not bad, his mother Yang was born in the side branch of the British government, and when he grew up, he was named the king of Chu by the sage, at first he was the king of the county, and then followed the British prince to the northwest to train the army, and made some contributions, and the saint was happy, so he was promoted to the prince, and won the support of some nobles in Beijing.

Among the older princes, the one with the least sense of existence is the sixth son.

Although his biological mother was Mu Guifei, she was born frail, and the imperial doctor once predicted that he would not live to be twenty years old.

Even if you are lucky, it is difficult to have children.

The saint was very distressed, and when the sixth son of the emperor was ten years old, he directly succeeded him to the Yanwang Mansion, the youngest prince among the princes, and the most Yulu and Huangzhuang, but he had long been disqualified from competing for the throne.

The sage asked him to be Prince Yan, just to give this frail son a rich and stable life.

But the eldest princess has a relationship with King Yan, which is a bit strange.

After all, she is an old man who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and she doesn't invest in the most promising King Qi and the most powerful King Chu, but she chooses the most unqualified King Yan...... It's unscientific.

"Uncle, are you sure it's this one?" Gu Jialuo made a 'six' gesture.

Qi Jinzhi knew what Gu Jialuo was suspicious, the corners of his lips turned up, and he said in a low voice: "That's right, it's this one." ”

Gu Jialuo became more and more puzzled, "This is unreasonable. "The six princes have been passed out, and he is no longer the son of a saint in terms of etiquette, unless the other seven princes are dead, he is qualified to be the heir.

To choose him, it is better to choose the youngest eighteen princes, after all, this is the most favored son of the saint.

Wait a minute......

Gu Jialuo suddenly remembered something, she looked at Qi Jinzhi, "Could it be that she is fighting the idea of King Yan's old department?" ”

The first King Yan was the younger brother of Grandpa Gao, and he followed Grandpa Gao to fight the country back then, and the relationship between the brothers was very good.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, Gaozu made his younger brother the king of Yan, the hereditary prince of replacement.

The first King Yan once sent troops to fight against the Tartars together with Zhao Guogong, made a lot of military achievements, and was the only one in the Xiao royal family who held military power.

Fortunately, Gaozu and the first emperor had great trust in the Yan Wangfu and did not take the opportunity to reduce the power and connections of the Yan Wang.

The first and second generations of Yan Wang are also very knowledgeable, firmly follow the emperor, never fight with the princes, and never think about seeking the dragon chair of Daqi.

After decades of development, although the Yanwang Mansion is not as prominent as it was at the beginning, it is also a rare and decent one among the vassal kings, and there are still many henchmen and generals in the northern Xinjiang camp.

It's a pity that the heirs of the Yan Wangfu are not abundant, and the second Yan Wang has several wives and concubines, but only gave birth to three daughters and a concubine.

According to the law of Daqi, the concubine could not attack the lord, and the sage intended to take back the Yan Wangfu into his hands, so he put on an appearance of acting in strict accordance with the law, and passed the sixth son of the emperor out.

The Yanwang Mansion is not as clear as the Four Great Princes' Mansions, but its power in the army is not small.

The sixth son of the emperor became the rightful King of Yan, and naturally took over all the resources of the Yan Palace, including the team in the army.

If you consider it from this aspect alone, it is not entirely unreasonable for the eldest princess to choose him.

Qi Jinzhi smiled a little sarcastically, "More than that." The princess of the six princes is surnamed Liang and is the family of the former princess of Shu. ”

And the King of Shu was the number one enemy who competed with the saint for the throne back then, and he was also the investment object of the eldest princess.

Although the eldest princess and the saint have reconciled now, the rift in her heart still exists, and the saint is at most a matter of face for the eldest princess.

The eldest princess wants to be as majestic and decent as in the past, and benefit her children and grandchildren, unless the emperor is replaced, and the new emperor is very close to her.

The eldest princess pulled the eight princes over and found that the six princes met her requirements.

Gu Jialuo secretly sorted out these relationships, and couldn't help but have a headache, "In other words, it is King Yan who is secretly colluding with the Tartars?" ”

King Yan's fief is Yan Land, although it now exists in name only, but King Yan's Mansion has a lot of contact with the Tartars.

This also gives them the opportunity to hook up with each other.

Qi Jinzhi nodded slowly, "Father ordered someone to investigate, and that person is indeed suspicious." In addition, there is news from the family that a group of Yi people of unknown origin have appeared in Beijing, and the leader has secretly contacted 'her' henchman. It is estimated that they want to take advantage of the time of Halloween. ”

Gu Jialuo's face was ugly, "They want to be inside and outside?" ”

Qi Jinzhi's expression was cold, "It's possible, and the Liu family is also a little abnormal." Qi Yao's relationship with the Ninth Princess is irreversible, and he often goes in and out of Concubine Xian's palace, and he is also very close to the daughters of the Liu family. ”

"Why is there her?" Gu Jialuo sighed in her heart, if she didn't guess wrong, the current ninth princess should be 'Gu Jialuo'.

According to the past entanglement between 'Gu Jialuo' and Yao Xiruo, the two should be undying enemies, why did they suddenly become 'best friends'?

Gugaro felt more and more confused.

What's the matter, no matter what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, they all jumped out and tossed.

If Yao Xi wants to die, it's nothing, but she is connected to the Gu family, Gu Jialuo doesn't want to be dragged down by this snake and scorpion poisonous woman.

When it came to Qi Yao's family, Qi Jinzhi's expression was a little strange, he opened his mouth, and still said: "Speaking of which, Qi Yao's family is a little strange, he communicates all day long, and he also helps Dongqi get in touch with many families, but it doesn't stop there, and he doesn't help Qi Mianzhi with all his heart." ”

After Qi Jinzhi read the information about Yao Xiruo, he always felt that something was wrong.

Let's say that she doesn't have the same heart with her in-laws, but she is not less busy, socializing, and making dowries.

said that she shared the joys and sorrows with her in-laws, but she didn't leave her hands.

Qi Jinzhi couldn't help but wonder if Yao Xiruo had discovered something and deliberately made a look of being separated from Dong Qiruo, so that she could get out if something happened in the future.

Gu Jialuo was a little upset, she and Yao Xiruo had not been together for a long time, and her understanding of her was only a little memory left by her predecessor.

What Yao Xiruo's temperament is, she really can't tell.

"Leave her alone for now, let's take care of the affairs of the southwest clearly, over there in the capital, there are elders in charge."

Gu Jialuo pinched his eyes and said with a little tiredness.

Qi Jinzhi nodded, "Well, I think so too." ”

He has sent all the news he heard back to Kyosato, believing that with his father's ability, he should be able to make proper arrangements.

Moreover, the saint has been an emperor for nearly 20 years, and he has accumulated a lot of power, and the hole cards in his hand are not one or two.

With just a big princess, a prince who has gone out, and a small tribe on the grassland, it is impossible to hurt the saint at all.

Qi Jinzhi's only concern is that there are unknown dangerous people in Beijing.

For example, the Annan royal palace intended to rebel, and it must have arranged a lot of manpower, and there were also their comrades in Beijing. Otherwise, something had just happened on Usa's side, and there would be an impeachment of the imperial history in Beijing immediately, and there would definitely be the head and end of the Annan palace during this period.

But who colluded with the Annan Palace, Qi Jinzhi has not yet been found.

In addition, the spies lurking in the Qi family or the Gu family have not heard any news so far.

What Qi Jinzhi didn't know was that just when he was worried, the county lord of Qinghe had already found clues about the spies.

"County Lord, Miss Xu and Qi'er have not left the small courtyard, and there is nothing abnormal about the people serving around,"

The little maid replied respectfully, "The only thing that's wrong is that every few days, the little guy around Second Master Yan will go back to the house to secretly talk to Miss Xu." ”

The county lord of Qinghe waved his hand disappreciably, "What's so strange about this?" When Brother Yan went to the academy that day, he said that he would send the little maids around him back to visit Xu Ai every few days. ”

The little maid said unhurriedly: "What the county lord said is right, you and Second Master Yan did say so at the beginning. However, in addition to the first two months, Second Master Yan did make the little girl come back, in the following days, Second Master Yan had a heavy amount of homework, and Young Master Feng Jiabiao took him to make friends and play, Second Master Yan gradually forgot Miss Xu. ”

No matter how deep the feeling is, it will gradually fade due to separation, not to mention that Qi Yanzhi's feelings for Xu Ai have not yet reached the point of unforgettable.

Qi Yanzhi is a teenager again, and with new friends, he naturally left his old love behind for the time being.

The county lord of Qinghe was slightly shocked, "What? Is there such a thing? Is there a problem with that little guy? What about his family? Could it be that there is a problem too? ”

Those who can serve the young master closely, almost all of them are servants of the Qi family, and such people will not be bought easily.

If there is really a problem, then there is only one possibility, and that is that the family was originally an eyeliner inserted by someone else.

The little maid replied cautiously: "So that the county lord knows that there is indeed something wrong with their family." After many investigations, it was found that although the family was born in the house, his parents had gone to the southwest with the old lady, and both had accidents, leaving only two brothers......"

The slave died to save his master, and to his master, he was a well-deserved death, a faithful servant to be praised.

For the family, it is the disaster of the collapse of the sky and the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow, they may not dare to say it, but they may not have no resentment towards the master in their hearts.

The county lord of Qinghe suddenly changed his face, because she suddenly remembered that the two brothers, the younger brother's family were assigned to Qi Lingyi, the elder brother's family was staying in Beijing on an errand, and the eldest brother's eldest son followed Qi Jinzhi to the southwest.

Oh my God, there is such a potentially dangerous person, isn't her brother ......
