Just when Arsonga, Ma Qi and other courtiers surrounded the ninth elder brother Yinyu and the tenth elder brother Yinyu, the thirteenth elder brother was also surrounded by all the courtiers, but most of these people were discussing the current government and even the future government situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Arsonga looked up at the sky and saw that it was already noon, so he hurriedly arched his hand to the ninth and tenth elder brothers, and said with a smile: "Ninth master, tenth master, I have a treat today, let's Drunken Immortal Building?" “

"No." Without waiting for Arsong's words to finish, Brother Jiu shook his hand and said, "Now, I have just left this sect's mansion, if I want to eat and drink again, I will definitely be caught by my fourth brother." ”

"Oh, what are the ninth brothers afraid of, we only recognize Huang Ama and Starling in our eyes, his fourth brother is forcing the palace to usurp the throne, I don't think of him as my brother for a long time." As soon as he said this, Ma Qi hurriedly covered the mouth of the tenth elder brother and said in a low voice: "My ninth master, let's be quiet, if those people can hear it." As he spoke, he pointed to the thirteenth elder brother who was not far away and continued: "Things are not good! ”

Brother Ten grabbed Ma Qi's hand and said angrily: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to die in the rest of your life!" ”

The ninth elder brother glared at the tenth elder brother and shouted coldly: "Ten brother! Brother Ten stopped at this time.

Brother Shi's words were indeed a bit excessive, but these ministers ignored him and arched their hands to Brother Jiu. Arsuna was also busy whispering to Brother Jiu to introduce the ministers who came to congratulate him, and they met one by one for the last time.

After leaving the Zongren Mansion, the ministers said goodbye to Brother Jiu and left. At noon, it was finally decided to be in Arsuna's mansion, of course, the accompanying guests were indispensable to Ma Qi and several other important ministers of the court, some of them were in charge of the criminal department, and some were on duty in the household department.

Now that they saw that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother walked out of the Zongren Mansion and returned to the dynasty to become the ministers of parliament, their hearts were a little more stable, but this was all temporary. If the emperor's illness suddenly improves, then today's actions are evidence of his head killing in the future. However, the head of the official here has long been hung on the waistband of his trousers, if he can't find a "big tree" to enjoy the shade, and he can't find a "big mountain" to rely on, he can only have a darker and darker future, and the road is getting narrower and narrower. Since the front and back are dead, it is better to squeeze out all the price codes and gamble.

After sitting down, first the ninth elder brother toasted to the ministers, and then the ministers toasted to the ninth elder brother, and then toasted to the tenth elder brother. In this way, while eating the wine and food on the table, everyone laughed and talked about the current situation of the government.

After eating for a while, the courtiers gradually left, because the purpose of their coming here today had been achieved, and if they sat down without eyes, they would cause trouble for themselves. However, all the officials who came here were very clever.

After the group left, only Mazi and Arsuna were left in the house. Ma Qi rolled his eyes and took out a roster from his sleeve, and Arson's hurriedly asked his subordinates to remove all the tables around him, and then replaced a sumptuous banquet to entertain the two elder brothers.

"This is... Brother Nine took the roster in Ma Qi's hand, flipped through it, and asked.

"Oh, Ninth Master." Ma Qi replied with a smile: "This is the list of members who stand with us, please take a look at the ninth master." ”

Brother Jiu nodded slightly, and praised Ma Qi: "Master Ma is doing a good job, come on, Lao Jiu respects Master Ma for a cup." He raised his glass.

"The ninth master is polite, this is all the credit of Lord Arsona, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for heaven after class."

"Huh!" Arsona hurriedly said: "If there is no Lord Ma, it will be relied on to do this great thing at all, if you want to say that the credit is all your Lord Ma, how can I be embarrassed." Saying that, he picked up the wine glass and hurriedly threw a look at the ninth elder brother without waiting for Ma Qi to speak, and the tenth elder brother was also busy holding the wine glass, and the three of them did not wait for Ma Qi to speak, and hurriedly said in unison: "Master Ma, under (the ninth and tenth) to give a glass to the elder Ma." After speaking, he raised his head and drank.

Seeing this, Ma Qi had no choice but to drink the wine in the cup to the bottom of the glass.

Brother Ten took the roster and looked at it, to say the least, there were more than forty names. Hurriedly asked, "Master Ma, so many people?" ”

Ma Qi shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Tenth Master, if you take a closer look, you will understand, the names of the people with red circles painted on them are all officials in important positions in the court, and the names of people with black circles are all eunuchs in the palace, and there is a horizontal name drawn under this name, which are all people in charge of the security barracks in the capital, and... ”

As soon as Ma Qi's words came to this, he was stopped by the tenth elder brother with a look of annoyance: "Okay, okay, Master Ma, you can tell me what the names of those who don't draw circles and don't draw Taoism are what they do." ”

Looking at the tired look of the tenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother shook his head, Ma Qi had a helpless long mouth, but it was the person of Arsuna, in addition to being scheming, he was also very calm, seeing that Ma Qi was asked by the tenth elder brother's words, he did not ease his mind for a while, and hurriedly replied to the tenth elder brother: "Ten masters, those names that have not drawn circles and have no marks are all generals from various provinces and generals stationed in various places. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother suddenly showed surprise, but they didn't expect this, the two people in front of them moved so fast, and in just a few months, they secretly enveloped so many people. How can you not be surprised when you hear this? How not to be shocked?

Looking at Ma Qi and Arsuna, a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in Brother Jiu's heart, the two people in front of him are too dangerous, if the big thing can be done, these two people must be killed, if... Brother Jiu thought of this but didn't think about it, because if he failed, it would mean death, and there would definitely be no more opportunities like this one.

Thinking of this, Brother Jiu was busy asking Ma Qi and Arsonga about the form of the court, just now there were a lot of people, and at the same time, there were also people secretly mixed with the Thirteenth Elder Brother and Long Keduo and the people on the emperor's side, so when chatting, some things were just scratching the surface.

Now, there are only four people left in the house, and these people all know their roots, and they are all moving towards the same goal, they are all people who want to die together and live together. Therefore, of course, the words spoken and the things talked about are very clear and profound.

"Master Ma." Arsona is an old man, and Brother Jiu has absolute trust, so some things must be asked from Ma Qi: "If you look at it this way, what are the current situations divided into?" "What are the odds of winning if we get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Qi suddenly said with a heavy face: "Ninth Master, today's forces can be divided into three types. ”

"Oh?" Brother Jiu said lightly, "Oh", and hurriedly urged: "Please also ask Master Ma to explain in detail." ”

"This first type is headed by Concubine De Niangniang, and it is also the most important of the three forces."

"That's what you mean?"

"Ninth Master, if you look at it from the eyes of ordinary people, everyone will think that Concubine De Niangniang, the concubine of the first emperor, can set off any big wind and waves?" Ma Qi said: "Actually, it is because everyone has seen a little bit of this that they will ignore this force. "Actually, there are many people who hold real power in the secret to support Concubine De Niangniang."

"Hahaha." When the tenth elder brother heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Listening to what Master Ma said, does this Concubine De want to learn from the Empress Dowager Dou?" "Don't forget, since the founding of our Daqing Kingdom, there is really no concubine who dares to do this, don't forget, concubines can't interfere in politics, this is the rule set by our first emperor, even grandma was just to assist the emperor Ama." "If Concubine De really does this, it will be called self-destruction, no matter that minister, that imperial uncle supports it behind, it will not work."

Brother Jiu thought about it, felt that this was not wrong, and said to Ma Qi: "Master Ma, are we a little too nervous. ”

"Huh!" Ma Qi looked nervous and said: "What the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master said is indeed reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully with Arson, he found a very important problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Brother Ten asked hurriedly.

"Ten, four, master!" Ma Qi said word by word.

"Hahaha." When the tenth elder brother heard this, he laughed and said, "Master Ma, I know the most about the fourteenth brother. ”

Ma Qi didn't pay attention to the words of the tenth elder brother, but looked at the ninth elder brother with a pensive face.

After a long time, Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "Master Ma continues." ”

"Yes." Ma Qi smacked his lips and continued: "The Fourteenth Master doesn't want to be the emperor, and I have heard of it somewhat. "If I'm not mistaken, Concubine De once asked the eighth master for a picture of Guanyin because of the first emperor's memorial." Speaking of this, Brother Jiu nodded contemplatively, so he continued: "It was this picture of Guanyin, which was secretly replaced by Concubine De Niangniang, and the fourteenth elder brother was able to leave the capital. ”

"Yes, what Master Ma said is very right, but this has something to do with the fourteenth brother?" The tenth elder brother interjected and said: "This matter is the most sufficient proof that the fourteenth brother does not want to be the emperor." "That's why we let him go and use the policy of co-optation to deal with the fourteenth brother."

Ma Qi smiled and nodded, coughed up the dry throat caused by talking too much, and then continued: "Although the Fourteenth Master said that he didn't want to be the emperor, did the Tenth Master know? "Feng Shui takes turns, I didn't want the emperor at the beginning, but the fourteenth master was still young and ignorant, he only knew how to play, but now it's different."

"Master Ma's words, Lao Shi still can't believe it." The tenth elder brother said unhappily: "I know the temperament of the fourteenth brother, no matter who changes, I believe it, if it is the fourteenth brother, I don't think I will believe it." Speaking of this, Brother Jiu hugged his fist and said: "Brother Jiu, I have been inside for so long, and now that I have come out, Lao Shi wants to go outside." ”

"Okay, let's go." The ninth elder brother knows the tenth elder brother very well, he knows that the tenth elder brother is most tired of this kind of intriguing thing, plus the relationship between him and the fourteenth elder brother is very locked, how can he listen to what Ma Qi said again? Brother Jiu knows this best.
