Since the last time he drank with Qi Jingyu, he hadn't troubled Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue. But it's also likely that he's worried about making protons.

However, these are not what Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue are worried about, the emperor seems to have forgotten them for the time being, no one cares, and the two of them have lived a quiet life very comfortably. Drinking every day, shopping, and occasionally going to the suburbs with Qi Jingyun to play, Qiao Mingyue felt that the body and mind that had been suppressed for a long time after coming to the capital were released.

However, the idle days will not last long after all, and soon the envoys of Nanzhao will come.

The Imperial Study.

Qi Jingyun was a little strange about what the emperor had called him to the imperial study alone, and the emperor quickly answered his doubts.

"Third brother, the envoy of Nanzhao is about to arrive, you should know about this matter, right?"

Qi Jingyun echoed, he suddenly knew what the emperor was doing when he called him.

"Third brother, I want you to receive the envoys of Nanzhao, what do you think?"

And so it was. Can he refuse? Although he knew that there was little hope, Qi Jingyun still wanted to fight for it.

"Brother Huang, this reception of envoys has always been a major event, representing the façade of my Great Zhou, you also know that I don't know how to learn, it's really difficult to take on a big job." Qi Jingyun spared no effort to get himself dark.

Hearing his words, the emperor's face was slightly gloomy, "What is this said by the third brother, you are the prince of my Great Zhou, looking at the entire court, except for you, who else is qualified to represent the Great Zhou, do you want to let Brother Wei go in person?" In my opinion, this matter is up to you, and you don't have to excuse yourself. ”

That's fine. Qi Jingyun was reluctant, "Brother Command." ”

As soon as he took two steps out, Qi Jingyun suddenly thought of something, and retreated, saying, "Brother Huang, as far as I know, the post house has been dilapidated after not being used for a long time, and it will cost a lot to repair it." Of course, he didn't know the true situation of the inn, but the emperor certainly didn't know either, and the reason why he said this was entirely to blackmail the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, he said disapprerovingly: "These are not problems, you can do it, if the funds are not enough, let the Internal Affairs Office allocate it to you, you just need to entertain the envoys, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Qi Jingyun was in a much better mood, "Thank you, Brother Huang." ”

When Qi Jingyu got the news that the emperor asked Qi Jingyun to receive the envoys, he knew that he was the candidate for proton, and he immediately became worried again. But he wasn't the only one worried at this time.

Qiao Mingyue leaned back in her chair and looked up to the sky and sighed: "It seems that the emperor has made a bag of Cheng Cheng to let Qi Jingyu go to Nanzhao, what can I do about this?" ”

Qi Jingyun had no choice but to sigh with her, and then remain silent.

The husband and wife are also helpless, they can't go if they want to go, and they force others to go if they don't want to go, what is this!

After taking the errand, Qi Jingyun had to get busy, and he went to the post house after the next day, but he saw a person here.

"Third brother, don't come unharmed." Qi Jingyu is wearing a crescent white robe today, and he is shaking a folding fan in his hand, which looks suave, but compared to Xu Jing...... Qi Jingyun shook his head.

Of course, Qi Jingyu didn't know what Qi Jingyun was thinking, he asked strangely, "Third brother, what are you thinking?" ”

Qi Jingyun smiled: "It's nothing. Why did the sixteenth brother suddenly come to the post house, the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion is not close to the post house. ”

Qi Jingyu shook his fan and said, "It's just a whim, but fortunately I came, if I didn't come, how would I know that the third brother was deceiving the saint?" ”

Qi Jingyun was not afraid, "How can the sixteenth brother say this?" ”

Qi Jingyu expected that he would not admit it, so he said: "Look at this post house, it is not as dilapidated as the third brother said, then, where did the third brother take so much silver from the emperor?" ”

Qi Jingyun paused and remained silent.

Qi Jingyu thought he was scared, so he said: "Third brother, you say, I will tell the Holy Lord about this matter, will he be furious and let you go to Nanzhao to be a proton?" ”

Qi Jingyun didn't have the panic that Qi Jingyu expected, but said, "Oh? Will it be so? The sixteenth brother might as well try it. He couldn't ask for it.

"You!" Qi Jingyu didn't expect him to be in, "You wait!" Angry, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

"Huh!" Qi Jingyun watched Qi Jingyu's back disappear before walking to the post house, I hope you can succeed, sixteenth brother.

Here, Qi Jingyu went straight to the palace.

"In such a hurry, is there anything wrong with the sixteenth brother?" The emperor's voice was slightly deep, as if he was a little unhappy.

However, Qi Jingyu didn't notice it, "Your Majesty, the younger brother wants to sue King Jin for bullying the king." ”

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes were slightly cold.

"Today, the younger brother went to visit the third brother, but was told that the third brother went to the post house, and the younger brother thought that it would be good to go to the post house by the way, but it turned out that the post house was not as dilapidated as the third brother said, and he could move in after a little tidying, but the third brother took a lot of silver taels from the Internal Affairs Office. The emperor, the younger brother suspected that the third brother was moving. with public funds. ”

When it turned out to be this incident, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What should you do?" ”

Qi Jingyu saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the courtier's brother asks the emperor to hand over the task of receiving the envoy to the minister's brother, and the minister's brother must live up to his mission." ”

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, he originally wanted Qi Jingyu to go to Nanzhao to be a proton, because most of Qi Jingyu's forces were in the court, and he didn't have the support of military generals, so he couldn't make any waves. But Qi Jingyun is different, behind him is General Qiao, as well as the two brothers Qiao Jinyu and Qiao Jinming, only by trapping him in the capital, can he rest assured.

As for Qi Jingyu's idea, of course he knew, but how could he do what he wanted.

"Ridiculous!" The Emperor shouted.

Qi Jingyu was stunned for a moment, he thought that the emperor was carefully considering his proposal.

"The repair of the post house does not cost much, so don't you have to spend money to receive the envoys? Sixteenth brother, when did you become so short-sighted? Do you want to make the envoys of Nanzhao think that we don't even have a decent post house in Dazhou? Before, the third brother said that he couldn't represent Da Zhou, and he was afraid that he would discredit Da Zhou if he did something inappropriate, you are good, because you will sue your brother for a little money, is this your instrument? ”

Hearing this, Qi Jingyu still didn't understand anything, the emperor was bent on shielding Qi Jingyun.

But the emperor didn't mean to finish yet, "You don't joke, I just ordered King Jin to receive the envoys this morning, you come to tell me to let me take back my life, do you want me to lose my trust to the people of the world?" "The emperor was already a little angry today, and the old wood in the court was stubborn one by one, but he couldn't do anything with them, and he vented his anger here with Qi Jingyu just now.

Qi Jingyu kowtowed, "It's the courtier's brother who didn't think it through, please punish the emperor." ”

The emperor was almost angry, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down." ”
