Chapter 243 Choose a knife

Liu Zhi's eyes looked very strange, Liu Rumo looked at it, and looked at Liu Zhi's eyes with a smile, as if he saw her thoroughly through her eyes, Liu Zhi subconsciously wanted to avoid the eyes when he looked at each other, but suddenly thought of the question he asked, didn't he say that the eyes are the best way to see people's thoughts? She wanted to see what answer the national teacher would give her.

"You are very smart, you know to start with the official, instead of going directly to the emperor like Xia Concubine and Xu Concubine, but there is no shortage of smart women in the palace, especially women who think they are smart, but they are mistaken by being smart" Liu Rumo moved her lips and said word by word, when she saw that Liu Zhi's expression slowly changed because of her own words, she changed her words again, and said: "The question you asked is also what the official wants to say when he brought you here today, what will happen to her in the future, the official will not interfere, but the same words are for you, No matter what you do in private, as long as you don't make a big deal out of it, your official power should not know about it. ”

Liu Rumo's words undoubtedly gave Liu Zhi a huge hole to exploit, she meant that the two would not help each other, but the premise of the restriction was not to make things bigger, that is to say, the affairs of the harem were up to them, Liu Zhi wanted this, she had been afraid that the Liu family still remembered Liu Ruxue's old feelings, if she dealt with Liu Ruxue, she was afraid that it would cause the Liu family to retaliate, and now she has been personally agreed by the national teacher, and her hesitant and wavering heart has finally settled.

"Then the concubine will be at ease!"

After talking about Liu Ruxue, seeing that Liu Rumo had no intention of leaving, Liu Zhi sat opposite her, quite restless, not knowing why. She always has awe and fear of Liu Rumo, who is the national teacher in front of her, just being watched, she feels that her mind is as if it is undisguised in front of her, the feeling of being seen through at a glance, but she can't see the other party's mind clearly, makes her even more unnatural.

"Does Concubine Liu want to be a queen?" Liu Rumo asked suddenly.

Liu Zhi was frightened by her sudden question, and hurriedly came back to her senses and asked, "What did the adults say?" ”

"Do you want to be a queen?" Liu Rumo stared at Liu Zhi indifferently. Repeating his own question.

Now Liuzhi is not calm. She thought about how she was going to answer this question, and the National Teacher would ask her like this, did she know something about her? But time simply did not allow her to make more assumptions. I had to pull the corners of my mouth and respond with a reluctant smile: "My lord, this question makes the concubine not know how to answer, if you want to say the queen, who doesn't want to sit on the throne of the queen when she enters the palace, and the concubine is naturally no exception!" ”

After a low chuckle. Liu Rumo turned his gaze to the moon white in front of him, teasing it. Yu Guang saw that Liu Zhi was slightly relieved because she looked away, and she continued: "You are very honest, so this official must be very helpful to you if I tell you one more thing." ”

"Master National Teacher, please speak!" Liu Zhi was busy waiting for Liu Rumo to speak.

"Concubine Liu is not pregnant."

Yanagi opened her mouth in astonishment. I can't close it for a long time, Liu Ruxue is not pregnant? Does that mean they've all been deceived by her? No, there are some things that don't make sense. That is, the imperial doctor, she obviously inquired about it, and made sure that it was a good pulse. And as far as she knows, Liu Ruxue really didn't come to the monthly letter, if she wasn't pregnant, could it be that the doctors had made the wrong diagnosis? And how did Liu Ruxue hide those used plant ashes?

Looking at Liu Zhi's expression that didn't seem to be in disbelief, Liu Rumo just glanced at it lightly, and continued to tease Yuebai's jaw, and didn't look at her, "This official will only tell you so much, the news is indeed true, but if you are not at ease, you can also verify it yourself!" ”

"Concubines don't dare!" Even if Liu Zhi had doubts in her heart, she still confessed first, and she didn't dare to directly question the words of the national teacher.

"The reason why I will sue you is because you are the candidate for the concubine proposed by the official to the emperor, and you have been selected by the official early in the morning, and since you are also interested in that position, you must know more about the skills of doing things, and know how to make yourself sit in that position above others!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhi didn't know how much her heart could bear, she followed the National Teacher here, and there were only the two of them, the National Teacher said for so long, every sentence could make her mentality change, sometimes high, sometimes low, if she hadn't kept herself from showing an exaggerated expression, I am afraid that she would have lost her temper a long time ago.

"The concubine is deeply grateful for the support of the adults, and she will definitely act cautiously in the future!"

After repeated assurances, Liu Zhi finally saw a signal in the eyes of the national teacher that he could leave, and immediately retreated from the qintai without staying longer.

It wasn't until she stepped out of the piano platform, supported by her handmaiden, that she found that her back was already soaked with cold sweat, and in just half an hour, she had learned so much information that she had to calm down and think carefully about how to do it.

"Mother, do you know where that place you just went was?" The maidservant held the hot tea in front of Liu Zhi and quietly approached her.

Liu Zhi took a sip of the hot tea, and after recovering her mind, she motioned for her to continue, so she listened to the maidservant say: "That place is called Qintai, it is said to be the emperor's mother, Concubine Ning, the favorite summer place during her lifetime, in the years when the emperor left the palace and did not return, it has been occupied by the Su family after the abolition, and it was not until the emperor returned to Beijing that he moved in again, and before the emperor ascended the throne, two people died there, and the emperor was assassinated once in Qintai——"

"Wait!" When Liu Zhi heard the emperor's assassination, he suddenly interrupted: "The emperor was assassinated in Qintai? How do you know so much? ”

The maid hurriedly replied: "You just went in with the national teacher, and the slave maid went around outside, and after inquiring about it, I learned about this, and the slave maid also heard from the eldest brother of the forbidden army nearby, and later found out that the person who assassinated the emperor was sent by the second prince and the Su clan after the abolition, and the slave maid wanted to tell you about these news, maybe it will help you." ”

"Bengong knows, you go down first, let Bengong think about it!" Yanagi put down the teacup and motioned for her to withdraw, while she reached out to support her forehead, closed her eyes and said no more.

And Liu Rumo's side, after Liu Zhi left, she stayed in the piano platform for a while, and then went to Longao Palace, and the tip of her ears has been guarding the front hall, as soon as she saw her coming, she immediately came forward, and beckoned the palace maid on the side: "Don't go and get a warm cloak, I don't have the eyesight to see it!" ”

Liu Rumo raised his hand to stop it, and said lightly: "No need, what about the emperor?" ”

The tip of the ear hurriedly responded: "The emperor is in the inner hall, and he ordered that no one should be allowed to approach without an order!" ”

Liu Rumo glanced at the tip of his ear coldly, bypassed him and ignored what he said about Qingyuan's order, walked directly to the door of the inner hall, raised his hand and pushed the door open and walked in.

When the tip of the ear came up, Kankan stopped at the threshold, and didn't dare to follow in, he was not a national teacher, and he didn't have an order to break in, but he didn't necessarily have his good fruit to eat!

"The national teacher is here!" Qingyuan was folding his hands behind his head, half-squinting and sleepy on the bed, seeing the plain robe outside the half-hidden veil, and said lazily.

Liu Rumo did not respond directly, but chose a place to sit down, and then said indifferently: "Your Majesty, it's almost enough!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qing Yuan smiled, turned over from the bed and sat up, the drowsy fatigue just now was swept away, he didn't rush to get out of bed, sat down cross-legged with his legs, and said to Liu Rumo: "How is the deployment?" ”

"One qiē shun lì, the rest depends on the emperor!" Liu Rumo replied.

Yes, this qiē is the result of Liu Rumo and Qingyuan's discussion, although she promised Qingli not to move the people of the Ministry within three years, but it doesn't mean that she can't plan in advance, Liu Zhi is the person she chose early on, she will support Liu Zhi, and she will suppress Xia Jinyan and Xu Lingfeng, Xia Jinyan and Xu Lingfeng's father are currently within her suspicion, of course, Liu Zhi's father will not be irrelevant, but compared to Liu Zhi's father, the two adults are more suspicious, and this knife naturally has to be used on the blade, and the knife she chose was Yanagizhi.

"Don't worry, for my own sake, I will do my best to get this done!" Qingyuan said with a smile.

It's not that he hasn't tried to promote newcomers to disperse the monopoly of the current official power of the ministry, but the effect is not ideal, and the report of the accounts on the treasury side has made him firm in his determination to rectify the rule of officials, but when he made up his mind to take the interest group headed by the official department, Liu Rumo raised a negative vote, and explained the national conditions of the Qingguo and the distribution of power among the courtiers, so that he had to put his decision to extinguish, and then the two discussed such a plan to cultivate a person. Use this person to conquer the existing interest groups, and this person is Yanagichi.

The reason why she chose Liuzhi is because although her father is only a four-grade official in the ministry, but he is deeply valued by the ministry's secretary's book.

Liu Rumo has never denied that Liu Zhi is smart, but it's a pity that she is not smart enough, if she had Qingli's quick mind, she must have asked such a question at that time in Qintai, she would not have asked such a question, nor would she panic because of her few words, let alone waste a lot of time on hesitation.

"Your Majesty, don't forget, during this time, you have to 'rain and dew'!" Liu Rumo didn't seem to be very happy to see Qingyuan's excited appearance, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him, extinguishing Qingyuan's bright smile just now.

That's why she dared to speak to him like this, Qingyuan sighed secretly. (To be continued)
