Qi Zhe was still a little puzzled: "Second brother, since you know that Prime Minister Liu Cheng has different intentions, why don't you just deal with him, and why do you keep him?"

Qi You shook his head and said: "This is the art of trade-off, although my father and I both know that Liu Ba has different intentions, but there is no strong evidence, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dare not offend him, let alone testify, and his power can be regarded as affecting half of the imperial court, if there is no perfect preparation, rash action is likely to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and it will be difficult to clean up at that time, the best way now is to slowly infiltrate and remove a little bit, until Liu Ba's lifeline can be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”

Qi Zhe heard it very clearly, he had only been swaying under the protection of his father and second brother over the years, but he didn't expect his father and second brother to be under so much pressure, he blamed himself a little: "Second brother, my brother was ignorant in the past, but now I understand, if you have anything inconvenient to come forward, leave it to me, anyway, I am an unclear character, and no one can compare to it." ”

Qi You smiled: "You have a good temperament, but you can make a lot of friends with three religions and nine streams, which is really helpful." ”

Qi Zhe also smiled: "Look, I'm not so willful and debauched for myself, I'm all here to hide my identity and make it easier for you to act." ”

Qi You slapped Qi Zhe's brain and said, "Ah, I should have wronged you, you really dare to climb the pole." ”

Qi Zhe rubbed his brain and smiled: "Second brother, you can't start lightly, your own brain is not enough, you still shoot." ”

Qi You said helplessly: "You, you." ”

Qi You stayed in the study at night without going anywhere, and he called the silver snake and the greedy wolf and ordered: "Today, the fifth brother has heard a few things, and this king hopes that you will go to verify and investigate clearly." ”

The silver snake and the greedy wolf both looked at Qi You with a curious look, Qi You opened his mouth and continued: "This first thing is about the secret guards of Prime Minister Liu Cheng's house, last night the fifth brother was drinking and chatting with the people of the military department, and overheard them saying that Prime Minister Liu Cheng's mansion has raised a lot of very powerful secret guards, and almost no one can prevent it, this king hopes that the greedy wolf you will investigate to see if it is related to those tattoo people who have no clue during this time." This second thing is about the encirclement and suppression of Zhongnanshan five years ago, and this matter is also related to Prime Minister Liu Cheng, Silver Snake, you go to help this king figure out the ins and outs of the matter. ”

The greedy wolf didn't have anything, but the silver snake was puzzled: "Zhongnan Mountain, is it true that the prince said that we once rescued the mountain that Su Wen passed?" Could it be that this has something to do with Su Wen? ”

Qi You said: "This king is only suspicious, so he asked you to investigate, don't alarm Su Wen first, after all, he doesn't want to mention the matter of the year, let's not force it, you start to investigate from other aspects first." ”

The silver snake nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Qi You instructed again: "Since Liu Ba's secret guard is so powerful, you two should be more careful, don't alarm them." ”

The silver snake smiled: "Don't worry, your subordinates and greedy wolves will be careful, and besides, we still have the 'amnesia drug' developed by Su Wen, nothing will happen." ”

Qi You worried: "Don't take it lightly, Liu Ba is an extremely insidious and cunning person, in order to demonstrate to his father, he can actually hurt himself, and he can even be ruthless to himself, which shows how deep his city government is." ”

The greedy wolf said: "Lord Wang, in this way, Liu Ba should not only be for himself, he always feels that he is trying to protect someone." ”

Qi You also said: "This king also feels the same way, I thought it was related to King Heng, but now I feel that what I see is all an illusion, greedy wolf, silver snake, the matter of the two of you is likely to lead to the person behind it, so be more careful." ”

"Yes, please rest assured." The two of them also understood the importance and difficulty of the matter.

"Go ahead, if there is any news, you must inform the king in time, and pay attention to your own safety." After Qi You finished instructing, he let the two of them leave.

After that, Qi You rested directly in the study, and on the second day, Qi You went to the military department to arrange someone to inform General Zhao to rest tomorrow in the suburbs of Mujing for a small gathering, Zhao Zongzhen knew that this should be related to Feng Shi's nephew as soon as he received the letter, he also hadn't seen Feng Yuanbian for a long time, and he was still unconscious at that time, although he knew that he was recuperating in his own hospital, but the situation forced him to visit, and now the emperor is also dealing with the ministers of the northwest military camp in the court, Feng Yuanbian is also relatively safe for the time being, it is time to go and see.

It's just that few people in the court know how close his relationship with the Feng family is, since Brother Feng took up the post of general in the northwest, the two of them have even more hidden their relationship with each other, it's not that they are far away, but they are both people who hold military power, too close will attract unwarranted suspicion and persecution, for each other's safety to do so, now the situation is more serious, he can't break the agreement between the two of them, fortunately, he went to his own courtyard, and Prince Yong also arranged it more properly.

Qi You was also busy in the military department, Qi Zhe was also studying more attentively, when the two returned to the mansion, they had already passed the dinner point, Qi You and Qi Zhe had a simple meal in the study and rested, the next morning, Princess Liu sent someone to the study to invite Qi You to the courtyard for breakfast, Princess Liu wondered: This prince has been resting in the study for two consecutive days, is there something that can't be done, and the woman in the courtyard is going to complain to herself again.

As soon as Qi You finished washing, he listened to the little servant's reply: "Lord Wang, the princess sent someone to invite you to have breakfast in the courtyard." ”

Qi You knew that he had stopped in the study for the past two days and had attracted the attention of the women in the courtyard, this is not the princess is going to start to care, that girl still looks like she is fine, and she can't look sad at all when she asks for dinner every day, if it were replaced by other women, she would have climbed over with all kinds of dedication for fear that she would really get tired of them, this Zhao is calm, well, wait a minute, she can't feel it.

After thinking about it, Qi You really went to the princess's courtyard for breakfast, and during the banquet, the princess asked while serving Qi You vegetables: "Master, are you very busy these days, the concubine heard the people in the concierge in the courtyard say, you and the fifth brother have come back very late these days?" ”

Qi You drank porridge and said, "Fortunately, the fifth brother can already get started slowly, and he has been with him for the past few days." ”

"The fifth brother is a very smart child, but you are too strict with him on weekdays. Let's try this. The princess grabbed a chopstick and said.

Qi You smiled: "That kid is too loose, how can he do it if he doesn't restrain him well, right, what about the fifth brother's breakfast?" ”

The princess smiled and said: "Master, you are really a knife mouth tofu heart, rest assured, the fifth brother's breakfast has already been sent over, you can rest assured." ”

Qi You asked, "By the way, have you been going to see your uncle recently, how is his body and bones?" ”

mentioned the princess's father, Liu, but said a little sadly: "Hey, master, the concubine has gone back to see it a few times, but every time I can't see my father in person, I talk through the curtain for a while, and I don't know what the disease is. ”

Qi You also said with a worried face: "Two days ago, my father asked about it, and this king is also very worried, but your father's illness is indeed quite strange, you can go and see it when you are free." ”

The princess said apologetically: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine will go back to see more when she is not busy in the mansion." ”

Qi You said: "That's good, by the way, why don't the children eat together?" ”

The princess smiled and said, "Wei'er has already used it, and now she is studying with her husband, and Tian'er hasn't woken up yet." ”

"How is Mr. Wei'er's enlightenment, the teaching is not bad, right?" Qi You asked.

"The person personally selected by the prince must be amazing, Wei'er likes that gentleman very much, by the way, the prince, Zhen'er has also studied with his husband for more than a year, and there will be more and more children in the yard in the future, why don't you set aside a place to build a private school for the children to study and study, right?" The princess built yì road.

Qi You agreed: "This king has long had this intention, since you mentioned it, it will be arranged by you, the master will hand it over to this king to find it, and you will have to work hard to arrange this place." ”

"Don't worry, this is a big deal for the children to study, and the concubine will not be sloppy." The princess said with a smile.

"Okay, you do things, this king has always been at ease." Qi You picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth when he was full.

At this time, the red note came in and asked: "Lord, Niangniang, someone has come to ask for peace." ”

The princess smiled and said: "This is knowing that the lord is here for breakfast, and the sisters are all coming over, since you are resting today, why don't you meet them with the concubine?" ”

Qi You thought: Well, it's also good to look at that girl, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's meet together." ”

The princess smiled and said: "Thank you, the red note will go to tell them to wait for a while, and the prince and the palace will go over after cleaning up." ”

The red note obeyed: "Yes, the slave will go and pass the word." With that, he went out.

When Qi You and Liu cleaned up and went out to the main hall, everyone had already arrived, and they were sitting in their positions waiting for the two of them, and as soon as the two of them appeared, the women in the hall saluted and said, "Say hello to the prince and the princess." ”

The princess smiled and said, "Please get up, let the sisters wait." ”

"Sister, where is it, it's the sisters who came early." Merriam-Webster laughed.

The princess smiled and said: "It's not, it's very early, since my sister is here, it's easy to talk, tomorrow is the full moon of Brother Nian'er, the son born to Sister Lu, this palace thinks that Sister Lu's body is still a little bad, just simply celebrate it in the house, if any of you have someone from the family who wants to participate, tell the palace now, and the palace can also make arrangements." ”

Gongsun said with a smile: "This day is really fast, since Sister Lu's body is still not very good, the concubine body will not invite her mother's family to come." ”

Wei said with a smile: "The concubine's mother said that she wanted to come and see it, but she couldn't be sure yet." , the mother doesn't have to arrange. ”

Le Shi smiled: "This is a great joy for our palace, the mother of the concubine after Sister Lu gave birth is going to come to see it, this Sister Lu has been raising it and she has not dared to disturb, this is out of the confinement You can see outsiders, the concubine's mother is definitely coming, and it is troublesome to the mother." ”

Xibao listened a little embarrassed, it's okay to come here, it's not good to look good if you don't come, and when she heard everyone's words, Xibao also said: "Princess Niangniang, the concubine's mother will not be able to come tomorrow, but the gift has been prepared a few days ago." ”

Seeing that everyone was in the princess, the princess replied: "Then our own people in the house have gathered, do you want to invite friends or brothers from outside?" ”

Qi You said: "Forget it, the Lu family's body should not be too noisy, just these people in our house." ”

The princess smiled: "Okay, the concubine will arrange it in a while." ”

"Just look at the arrangement, this king still has some things to deal with, so I won't talk to you here." Qi You said nonchalantly.

"The big thing is also decided, if the prince has something, hurry up and deal with it, the concubine is nothing." The princess said.

Qi You got up and walked to the door, his concubines all got up to see each other, he glanced at Xibao meaningfully, then snorted and left.
