"Hey......"

He stretched his waist, pushed aside the paper and pen in his hand, got up from behind the table, walked a few steps through the room, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, and walked around the yard.

The moon that was originally round was missing a small half, but there were many stars, and the scenery full of stars was a beautiful scenery that was difficult to see in the previous life.

After reading all kinds of intelligence news for a few days, Liu Qin basically knew what to do, and he also had some ideas, but some details still needed to be carefully scrutinized.

How should I tell Liu Rui tomorrow? How can I make him understand what he is going to do?

Liu Qin put his hands behind his back, tilted his head, and paced in the courtyard while thinking.

"Childe."

A soft call interrupted her thoughts, and when she looked back, she didn't know when, Jiang Li and Fang Nuo were standing behind her.

"Brother Ah Li, Arnold, you come here at this time, nothing will happen, right?"

"Well, I just received the news that Brother Lei and they have arrived in Huai County, and it is estimated that they will be able to go to the suburbs the day after tomorrow." Jiang Li looked at her with a smile.

"Great, I'm still thinking that Brother Lei won't know when he will arrive, and some things are in need of manpower. By the way, Arnold, have you made an appointment with your eldest brother tomorrow? ”

"It's an appointment, tomorrow, when the day comes, we will live in heaven."

"Okay. You guys are here just in time, I just have some ideas, and I just want to discuss one or two together. ”

The three of them went into the house to talk secretly, and the candles were lit late, and the small voices were wet by the raindrops that fell in the middle of the night, and disappeared into mist, and no one knew what they had said.

The next day, early in the morning. The rain-washed sky is bluer, the leaves are greener, and the wind blows away the heat and stuffiness of the day. It becomes fresh and cool.

Before the time came, Liu Qin, who was dressed in a blue brocade robe and held a paper fan, had already appeared at the door of the heavenly residence.

Jumping out of the carriage with him were two slender figures, one white and one silver, plus Changxing Chang'an Changkang who was guarding the side on horseback and Changsheng who was driving the carriage, this line of handsome men was almost blinding the eyes of passers-by.

The shopkeeper of the Heavenly Residence was also brought from the south, surnamed Wang, and the shopkeeper Wang stood at the door with a few men to greet him. Very respectfully invited Liu Qin in.

Fang Nuo stayed on the first floor and waited for Liu Rui, while Liu Qin and Jiang Li went up to the third floor under the leadership of Shopkeeper Wang.

There are three floors in the heavenly dwelling. There are only three wings on the third floor, which are used to entertain the most distinguished guests, and the innermost room, which has been specially treated. The best airtight and soundproofing effect. Liu Qin and Liu Rui made an appointment to meet here.

After entering the wing room, Shopkeeper Wang visited Liu Qin and Jiang Li again, and left after talking, and the four of Changxing scattered outside the door to prevent anyone from breaking in rashly.

At the right moment, the curtain was lifted, and Liu Rui walked in, followed by Wei Zheng and Fang Nuo.

"Big brother. Sit. ”

Invite Liu Rui to sit down, and Fang Nuo personally served tea.

Drank half a cup of tea. Liu Qin glanced at Wei Zheng, who was standing behind Liu Rui, and said, "I invited my eldest brother to come because I have something to say, eldest brother, please follow me into the inner room." ”

Liu Rui understood what she meant, although Wei Zheng was his cronies, he could not have avoided it, but seeing that Liu Qin was so cautious, he still commanded softly, "You are guarding here." ”

Wei Zheng nodded in response.

The four of them entered the inner room. In the inner room, there was a square table in the middle of the room, and there were all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, Liu Qin walked to the back of the table, took out a paper roll from his sleeve, spread it out, pointed to the paper roll, and said to Liu Rui: "Big brother, please see, this is the paperwork we sent you and the news collected by Arnold in the past few days, after careful analysis, sorted out." I'll talk to my eldest brother now, is it right for my eldest brother? ”

Looking at the messy but delicate handwriting on the paper, Liu Rui's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Okay." ”

Liu Qin straightened out his thoughts, and then pointed to one of the lines and said: "In this way, let's start with the ministers of the DPRK and China." There are three members of the first rank in the court, Zhongshu Ling Wang, Zhuang Taifu, and Lord Jin, the protector of the country, although Lord Wang is old and does not take care of things, but the real power is still there, these three people should represent the three factions, Lord Wang's wife is the daughter of the Cao family, he must be on the side of the five princes, Zhuang Taifu should be the emperor's person, Lord Jin will not say it. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Qin glanced at Liu Rui, and Liu Rui nodded.

Liu Qin continued: "There are six departments that hold real power under it, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry. Lord Shi of the Ministry of Officials is the uncle of the Five Princes, and Lord Yang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has always looked at Lord Shi as the head of the horse, and they are all under the command of the Five Princes. ”

Liu Qin said as he drew a circle between Master Shi and Lord Yang, and drew a line to connect them to the five princes.

"Lord Hubu Shangshu Qian can't tell which prince is involved from his background and experience, I will count him as the emperor's person for the time being, Lord Fang of the left servant of the household department is a loyal lackey of the three princes and the Jin family, this is something that everyone knows, Lord Xu of the right waiter is close to Lord Fang, and he should also be a faction of the three princes.

Master Mo of the Ministry of Rites is the in-law of the Jin family; Lord Yan of the military department was raised by the protector of the country; The Criminal Department is controlled by the Cao family, and Shangshu is a member of the Cao family; As for the Ministry of Industry, it is estimated that there is no oil and water, so it fell into the hands of the Shu family, and I heard that the sixth princess is the daughter of the Ministry of Industry. Big brother, am I right or not? ”

Liu Rui nodded again, "What Brother Xian said is basically correct, however, Lord Xu is not a member of the Third Emperor Brother, he is the brother-in-law of the Fifth Emperor Brother." ”

"Oh? His wife's surname is Ma, and the fifth prince's wife's surname is Shi, how can it be a brother-in-law? ”

"This is also a secret Xin, before Lord Shi was lifted, he married a wife and gave birth to an eldest daughter, after being an official, he was a son-in-law of a powerful family, so he abandoned the chaff and remarried the bride, many years later, the ex-wife brought her daughter into Beijing, this matter was triggered, Lord Shi in order to cover up the mouth of everyone, took the ex-wife and eldest daughter into the house, and soon after the eldest daughter Xu was married to the Hanmen scholar Xu, but the eldest daughter did not follow his surname, but followed the mother's surname Ma, as for Mrs. Ma, I heard that she died of illness soon after."

This Lord Shi is really not a thing, and I don't know if Mrs. Ma really died of illness or was killed.

After listening to Liu Rui's words, Liu Qin had a deep sense of disgust for Shi Huairen, who had never met before, he was really a scumbag, a stinky man who couldn't be a scumbag anymore, no wonder he was called "Shi Bad Man".

The pen changed the connection of Lord Xu to the five princes, and concluded: "In general, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War are in the hands of the three princes, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment obey the orders of the five princes, the household department is divided between the two, and the rest of the Ministry of Works belongs to the six princes." ”

Although Jiang Li and Fang Nuo knew this fact and were prepared, their faces still changed a few times, and Fang Nuo couldn't help but say out loud, "The eldest prince has been in for so many years, why hasn't he put a few cronies in?" ”

Liu Rui's face was also very gloomy, he smiled bitterly, and sighed, "My imperial brother is in a difficult situation, he has always been low-key, and he doesn't dare to come forward, that's it, he was assassinated by assassins every once in a while, if it weren't for his fate, I don't know how many times he died, under the suppression of the Cao family of the Jin family over the years, the affairs of the court and the central government basically have nothing to do with my two brothers, how can I put people in the hands?" ”

"Big brother, let's just talk about things now, we don't mean anything else, don't worry about it."

comforted Liu Rui, and glared at Fang Nuo again, until Fang Nuo stuck out his tongue. (To be continued.) )
