When the green shirt first entered the nine-fold city, the purple sky was dawning and the red clouds opened. Chapter 56: Qi Jiulu
Qi Jiulu is eighteen years old, the same age as Gong Xiangxiao, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, describing heroic, and his slightly thin face is angular. Xu is because of the many athletes in the north, he is half a head taller than Gong Xiangxiao, tall and strong, although he is dressed as a writer, it is difficult to hide it.
After he entered the door, he made a salute, and when he saw Gong Xiangxiao waving his hand, he simply took off his robe and sat down.
Before he sat down, he chuckled and said, "How?" Shizi didn't mention her sister, didn't she promise to see me? ”
"It's not just that I don't want to see you." Gong Xiangxiao's face was strange and said, "She even suggested that this son kill you!" ”
After saying this, he picked up the tea bowl and blew foam, waiting to see this man sad.
However, Qi Jiulu was not surprised, and said, "She is this character, this is also the son of the world, who is also going to pass the word, and I am afraid that I will directly cut it with a knife." ”
"......" Gong Xiangxiao held the tea bowl, speechless for a while, I really wanted to ask him such a fierce woman, and now she has entered the palace, even though she is very beautiful, but you are a big clan in Sangzi, and you came to the imperial capital to talk freely and let the regent personally arrange to stay in the young man who came to Cui Yuan, are you afraid that you can't find the same or even better?
Oh Qi Jiulu brought his wife to the imperial capital, although Gong Xiangxiao has not personally seen the Chao family, but he has also heard the people below occasionally talk about it, saying that she is elegant and beautiful, no worse than the noble girl of the imperial capital.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with this person......
But think about this Qi Jiulu is a talent that he can easily recruit, not to mention that the Qi family behind him is rich and has a wide range of connections in the north, Qi Jiulu himself is very good at literary and martial arts, and the foreign family has repeatedly told him that he is a person who can be his right-hand man, and he must be courteous and not missed...... Forget it, it is said that talents will have a little different quirks, and it is better not to point fingers in such inconsequential places.
And think about the emperor's brother in the palace for the unprincipled preference of the Yuan family...... Well, maybe childhood sweethearts are different?
Gong Xiangxiao was secretly glad that he didn't have a fiancée who grew up together for marriage, he didn't want to be eaten to death by a woman like these two.
"And you're going to see her?" Gong Xiangxiao thought about it for a while, and then he didn't understand, "Today, Yun Guiren doesn't know what to do, so she doesn't bring any blades, if they meet next time, what ...... if she really carries a knife?"
Qi Jiulu said peacefully, "I have been skilled in bowing and horses since I was a child, although she has also learned a few hands with her father and brother at home, there is a difference in strength between men and women, and she cherishes her skin and refuses to practice too hard. ”
So the bow and horse you have practiced since you were a child are skillful, so that your former fiancée can protect herself when she cuts you with a knife?
Didn't you think you could actually change to a fiancée who wouldn't cut you with a knife?
Gong Xiangxiao silently drank tea to hide his ups and downs, and Gong Xiangji, who was born as the son of King Fuyang, became the emperor in a daze; Although the identity in front of him is not as noble as himself, but he is also the son of a clan, or the kind that no one can threaten his status, why is he the eldest son of the regent's mansion, but he is trembling like walking on thin ice?
Is it because I am not afraid of the inside, and I don't plan to be afraid of the future in the future?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, feeling that he had been too worried during this time, and he was a little sick and rushed to the doctor.
Settle down and get down to business," Yun Guiren said, she suggested that Yue Jieyu recruit Mr. Lingshan for the sake of this son. ”
"She's talking nonsense." Qi Jiulu immediately shook his head, "I think it was the killing of chickens and monkeys before the prince that frightened her heart, so she wanted to use Mr. Lingshan's matter to cause a certain amount of pressure on the prince to tempt...... After all, she is not deeply rooted in the palace now, although she has taken refuge in the queen, her life is still shallow, it is rare to trust, and the manpower, material and financial resources that can be used are very limited, so she took the opportunity to pretend to be public and private, and calculate the son. ”
Gong Xiangxiao said "um", and said with emotion: "This world is a little unclear whether you love or hate Yun Guiren......
If you want to say hate, the newlywed Yan'er took his wife to the imperial capital, and what he wanted was to see his former fiancée again. With this hard work of traveling thousands of miles, you can't deny that he absolutely has deep feelings for Yun Fenghuang.
To say love...... At this time, there is no softness in selling people......
Gong Xiangxiao feels that he is not a stupid person, but he is still young and has never experienced a relationship between men and women, so he really can't understand what is going on with this former fiancé?
Hmm, there is still a possibility, that is, Qi Jiulu deliberately said this to gain the trust of this son?
Thinking so in his heart, he accepted his expression and said, "Then what do you think of this world?" ”
"She wanted to inform the queen of this arrangement through Xile, which shows that even if she has intentions for the prince, it will not be all lies." Qi Jiulu said slowly, "Then in the next few days, the Ji family should be going to do something to Mr. Lingshan." When the time comes, let's act when the opportunity comes. Maybe, the prince made a lot of hard work, but in the end he fulfilled the son. ”
Gong Xiangxiao hesitated, "You mean to pull Mr. Lingshan to the side of this prince?" But this ...... Shouldn't that be easy? ”
In fact, he was tempted to say how this was possible?
Although Mr. Lingshan is now living in the guest house of the palace, it is the person invited by the regent, and he is the teacher of his half-brother Gong Xiangzhen, and among the four masters of the palace, he has nothing to do with him.
He didn't feel that he had the chips to impress this one.
Slowly speaking, compared with the regent, it is compared with Gong Xiangzhen, who is only six years old this year, Gong Xiangzhen has a step-concubine and mother, and the Qingping Marquis Mansion behind the Lu family stands for him...... And Gong Xiangxiao has nothing but the title of prince.
Even to this day, wealth and safety are enshrined in the royal palace.
"The prince thought that Mr. Zero Mountain had been in the countryside for many years, why did he choose the regent?" Qi Jiulu just smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically.
Gong Xiangxiao said: "Presumably because I am optimistic about my father." ”
Although he is the son of the royal palace, due to the tireless suppression of the Lu family, he has become more and more estranged from his father over the years, so he is not very clear about how much power the regent palace has now.
But Gong Xiangxiao is very sure that his uncle, the first emperor Xiaozong, was indeed willing to inherit the throne of his father back then!
Even the edict of succession was written, but under the operation of the Ji family, it was torn up in front of Xiaozong......
After that, although the matter of the emperor's younger brother was not mentioned again, Xiaozong still withstood the pressure and gave everything that could be given to the regent outside the throne.
For example, the Imperial City Division that has made the Ji family haunt to this day.
Emperor Chunjia, who the Ji clan insisted on, is still a puppet, and his father, who was in the prime of life all these years, will not be idle, so the current power of the Regent Palace's palace must be very considerable...... Otherwise, how can you recruit Mr. Zero Mountain?
"Yes and no." Qi Jiulu slapped his palms and chuckled, and said, "The status of the prince is noble, and the prince is in the prime of life, so there is no need for the prince to bear all the matters, so the helplessness of Mr. Lingshan and his ilk is difficult for the prince to understand." This person was favored by Emperor Xiaozong back then, but due to the situation, he abandoned Xiaozong in the temple and returned to the countryside. Even though he has the fig leaf of Ding Wei, it is also doomed, and the mistake is a last resort, and he can't throw himself into the Ji family. ”
Because he resigned when Emperor Xiaozong needed him the most, it can be said that it was for the sake of filial piety, and loyalty and filial piety could not be both.
But the upper echelons all know that Emperor Xiaozong is not forced to die by the Ji family, at least he is deeply disgusted with the Ji family, as the six heads hand-picked by Xiaozong during his reign, and the close ministers who have been vigorously promoted, Wei Changkong has been in seclusion for many years but chose to work for the Ji family...... Not to mention how much infamy it will attract by doing so, let's just say that it is impossible for the Ji family to trust such an ungrateful person.
If the reputation of many years of operation is ruined and not trusted by the superiors, the result will inevitably be that Wei Changkong's journey will be blocked.
It's better to continue to stay in the countryside and put on an indifferent posture of fame and fortune!
Gong Xiangxiao understood this truth, and bowed his head slightly at this moment.
Qi Jiulu continued, "He is a famous man in the sea, a prodigy, and it is impossible for him to take refuge in eunuchs such as Zheng Gu. ”
can't take refuge in relatives, can't take refuge in the eunuchs, and the remaining choices are Qingliu, the regent and Emperor Chunjia.
"The current leader of Qingliu is Cui Wan, he is the same age as Mr. Lingshan, and it can be said that before Mr. Lingshan resigned, he was always crushed to death. There is such a festival, not to mention whether Mr. Lingshan is willing to put down his body and ask for help, let's just say that Wei Liushou was so famous back then, Cui Wan finally had his current status in Shilin, how could he rest assured that such a personal recovery? ”
"And in terms of name, Mr. Lingshan was a courtier with high hopes from His Majesty Emperor Xiaozong in the past."
"Then now that Emperor Xiaozong is already in the sky, the most justifiable and obedient person he serves is naturally the successor of His Majesty Emperor Xiaozong."
The successor of Xiaozong has always been controversial, and in terms of righteousness, of course, it is the heir of Emperor Chunjia; But there are also some informed old people who came from the Xiaozong Dynasty who know that Xiaozong actually didn't think about establishing an heir during his lifetime, and he always wanted to pass the throne to the regent.
In the current situation, if you choose a backer between Chunjia and the regent, a fool will choose the latter.
After analyzing the reason why Wei Changkong would be recruited by the regent, Qi Jiulu continued, "Mr. Lingshan has a pivotal weight in Shilin, since the prince has brought people to the palace, it is absolutely impossible to just let him be a teacher for Brother Ling. The next step is to nominate him to compete with Cui Wan in order to win over Shilin...... Naturally, Ji will not sit idly by and watch this matter go smoothly. ”
He took a sip of tea, "These princes will not be unexpected, but they still plan to hold a grand enlightenment ceremony for Brother Ling, presumably there must be a foolproof strategy, at least in the eyes of the prince and Mr. Lingshan." Well, before the prince said, you just asked people to throw the palace maid into Chengyue Palace, but then you don't know why she appeared in Yanlan Palace, which is probably what the prince meant. ”
"My father ordered this?" Gong Xiangxiao frowned, "Father plans to start with the palace?" ”
He was not surprised that the regent knew that he had entered the palace in private and had colluded with Yun Fenglian.
After all, these are all done by him relying on the Imperial City Division, and after the Imperial City Division was handed over to the regent from Xiaozong, it has been in the hands of the regent so far, and the step-concubine Lu and the young Gongxiang Zhen have nothing to do with it at all. It is his son, and it is also because he was still young when he entered the palace to study, when the Lu family had just entered the door, the relationship between father and son was quite deep, and the regent specially arranged a group of people in the palace ban for the prince to use, so as not to have accidents or suffer losses, so he saved it.
If he hadn't been the emperor's companion until now, Gong Xiangxiao suspected that he would never have touched anyone or anything in the Imperial City Division.
"It's not certain yet." Qi Jiulu shook his head and said, "But since she did this, she must take the opportunity to make a contribution to win the queen's trust." Therefore, if the prince does not start from the palace, it will be fine, if he starts from the palace, there will be some accidents. ”
Gong Xiangxiao groaned, "Really? ”
He understood what Qi Jiulu meant, that is, he trusted Yun Fenglian's ability to do things in the palace, and even thought that as long as the regent's plan had an important part in the palace, then if he missed this Yun nobleman, he would definitely not succeed.
Therefore, Gong Xiangxiao can choose to remind his father now and check for omissions.
After all, not mentioning the relationship between father and son, let's just talk about interests, Gong Xiangxiao has so far been tied to the Regent Palace.
But Gong Xiangxiao thought about it for a long time, and finally raised his head and asked, "If you are compatible with Yun Guiren, you should take what you need...... How sure are you? ”
When he said this, he had a lot of thoughts, thinking of the father and son who had depended on each other when the regent personally picked him up as a companion; I also thought of the later drifting away; When the step-concubine was pregnant, the couple were intimate, looking lonely, standing in the distance; and now that Gong Xiangzhen is becoming more and more estranged from this family and this palace after he was born......
The most important thing is that Qi Jiulu inadvertently reminded him not long ago that the day of Dou's death was too coincidental......
It's like making room for the regent to marry the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Qingping.
Gong Xiangxiao was very reluctant to suspect that his father, who was once in love with his biological mother and amiable to him, would make such a ruthless move.
But the situation that has been going on for many years makes him even more reluctant to risk his life.
For now, although this palace is not so comfortable, he is still safe.
But this may not have something to do with the fact that he has been reading to the puppet emperor so far, and he has not made any achievements, and he is not close to the regent.
Once he shows his talent, even if it is just Qi Jiulu's talent, Gong Xiangxiao doesn't know what kind of changes it will cause?
The Lu family occupies the identity of the stepmother, the Marquis of Qingping is the eunuch second only to Zheng Gu, and the only regent who can protect him is the biological father but also has a lovely second son...... Gong Xiangxiao closed his eyes and said slowly, "This prince will try to bring you into the palace as soon as possible...... Think about how to talk to Yun Guiren when the time comes. ”
"Don't worry." Qi Jiulu bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a solemn smile, "I will persuade her well." ”
