Standing in front of King Qi outside the palace, the carriage coming to King Qi's mansion had been waiting for a long time. Seeing his prince leave the palace and immediately catch up, King Qi's face did not have the previous fear but became much more relaxed. I never thought that the painstaking plan would fall short, and I limped to the carriage and the servant helped me to board the carriage. The coachman didn't dare to ask more, his own prince has never been a good talker. Especially after a major event, Corporal Chenggong Lixian is respectful and courteous, and if he fails to kill someone, it is just a trivial matter.

As the carriage drove slowly, the curtain was lifted and the Miyagi was getting farther and farther away, as if the Miyagi that had grown up was getting farther and farther away from him. The death of the mother concubine left a great shadow in her heart, and she had already recognized her father for so many years. Whether there is a mother concubine in the palace is a world of difference, as long as the mother concubine is still there, no matter how big a mistake she makes, there is a chance, that is the father owes the mother concubine, but he does not owe him Xiao Kun a cent.

looked at Miyagi and said: "Xiao Yin is now yours in this city, and this king will stand in front of you sooner or later." And you all wait, this king will return. ”

It was already dusk when he returned to the mansion, and King Qi thought a lot along the way. From the place where he left Taiping City to everything after returning to Beijing, it seems that there is a big hand behind everything behind the scenes. Along the way, he analyzed the context clearly, and found that everything that happened was actually only one person who could do it, and that was the father. Then I thought about it, in fact, there is another person who can control the ministers, and that is the prince who has seen the duty. On the way out of the palace, I asked the eunuch about many things that were not big things, and even dispensable.

I found that my mother had been seriously ill since I left Beijing, and there was a big problem in the allocation and transportation that should have been in charge of the Ministry of Households. What is the role of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in it, which seems to have nothing to do with it, and what is the mind of his father. It wasn't until outside the palace of King Qi that he figured it out, and everything started when the concubine was seriously ill. From that moment on, the crown prince will be in charge of the country, and there will be a lot of articles that can be done in it. I only can't figure it out, I know everything I did in the north, so I don't necessarily know what the prince has done, why my father just reprimanded him, and he doesn't know anything about what the prince has done. If Liu Ce is a counterinsurgency, Liu Ce, who is the secretary of the military department, can personally lead the troops to quell the civil unrest.

Although Lin Xie was removed from the position of commander of Nanjing, he was still the great Sima. It is no longer possible to lead troops abroad after he is not young, and Liu Ce has not led troops abroad for seven or eight years in Beijing for many years. It wasn't until Liu Zhixing entered the Changfeng Army that the power in Liu Ce's hands gradually increased, until Guiwei was the secretary of the military department from the first grade. There is a possibility that the father wanted to use Liu Ce to restrain Lin Xie, who had great prestige in the army, and Liu Ce's military exploits in Beijing did not need to be worse than Lin Xie. Until the "Proposal for the Expedition to the South" was refuted by the ministers, he never went out to lead the troops again.

Got out of the carriage and saw four princesses waiting, and there was a young man Zhou Jin beside him. King Qi seemed to understand why he would let Liu Ce go to quell the rebellion but someone else. It's not that other generals can't do it, but only Liu Ce can save his life. said: "Is there no trustworthy minister in the court now? ”

The princesses didn't seem to hear King Qi's words, but many subordinate officials in the Qi Palace's mansion heard them clearly, especially Zhou Jin kept them in mind. His Majesty the Emperor is not entirely trustworthy in the court right now, and it is simple to say, but how terrible it is to think about it.

The two princesses helped King Qi step by step into the door of the mansion, and King Qi could see the worry in the princess's heart along the way. But what else can you do besides worrying, your mother's family has no power. is not a tough person and even a little weak, if it is not the eldest son who is not born, he may not be able to sit firmly in the position of the concubine.

Walking into the house, a kind of subordinate officials followed behind him, and King Qi gently patted the princess's hand and said, "This king is fine, relax." Turning to look at the three side concubines who were about to cry, the four concubines were scared before going to the palace. If such a big event happened, the prince couldn't come back to do this, and the princess was even ready to go to the fiefdom.

The princess looked at King Qi and said, "Otherwise, the prince, we will go back to the fiefdom and never come to Taiping City again." ”

looked at his wife's gentle face and said: "This king wants to go back, I'm afraid it won't work in a short time." Concubine, go back first, this king still has many things to discuss. ”

Seeing the gentle gaze of the prince, the princess left with the three side concubines, and the king of Qi limped into the lobby. The subordinate officer wanted to support King Qi's strange eyes and asked, "When this king needs help, this king can retreat by himself." ”

It will not be good for anyone who is expensive for a few hours on the hard bluestone slab, and it is already very far-fetched for the king of Qi who can still walk by himself. But he walked to the tiger skin chair and sat down with difficulty, staring at several subordinate officials with embarrassed eyes. Among them, many figures have disappeared, and the leader is still the head of the household department, while the other Ministry of Industry is missing. King Qi did not annoy that there was nothing that he could not do, compared to the current Ministry of Works, Shangshu was reused by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Touching the tiger skin with both hands, he said: "Now do you think that this king is losing power and wants to find a new master, and the king will not stop those who want to leave." I believe you all know by now that although His Majesty abolished the throne, he has no say in the court. If someone now feels that this king is not worthy of allegiance, he can leave and find a new master, as long as he is not a person who has fallen into the well, this king will remember it. ”

While everyone was silent, Tobe Shangshu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, did you say that your Highness should return to the fiefdom?" ”

Hearing Hubu Shangshu's question, everyone's eyes were on King Qi, and this matter was very important. It is good to say that the officials of the Qi Wangfu will face great problems if they are officials in the court. King Qi is not in Taiping City, he is bound to make a choice, if he still serves King Qi and wants to be promoted, he will definitely not have a chance. Especially the Hubu Shangshu, it is not a good choice to be loyal to the King of Qi who is thousands of miles away.

King Qi looked at everyone's eyes and said, "Father just imprisoned this king in the palace. ”

His eyes swept over everyone's face, and although the pilgrim hadn't changed much, he could see that some of his faces were much more relaxed. Only a few people were disappointed with King Qi's answer, and among them were the advisors headed by Zhou Jin. Whether or not to stay in Taiping City is completely different matters, and it must be safest to return to the fiefdom, but any changes in the imperial court will not be known at the first time. But there must be much more things to do in Taiping City, and King Qi had already thought about every possibility before entering the palace.

After some court discussion, the king of Qi said: "Since you still believe in this king, this king is very happy in his heart. As long as this king has the opportunity to ascend to the throne, you are all ministers of Fulong. Do you know what happened to the disaster relief funds in the land of Sanzhou, and why the second batch has not arrived for a long time. How much money did you take this time? ”

Although it was a common practice at this time, King Qi's question was to embarrass the Hubu Shangshu. Hubu Shangshu, who had read fifty years, was stunned, this is because the prince does not trust himself. This matter directly affected the success or failure of King Qi in the land of Sanzhou, and when he heard King Qi's unashamed question, the fifty-year-old Hubu Shangshu not only felt worried, but was much more relaxed.

Raising his head and explaining the events that happened during that time in front of everyone one by one, King Qi's face became hideous after a long time. Which prince he hates in his heart, he really grasps a great opportunity. After this time, it can be said that the most important arm of King Qi was cut off, especially the people who were in charge of the household department who turned out to be the crown prince. I don't even know this as the head of the household, if it weren't for that incident, I'm afraid no one would know that the household would have a prince in the hands of King Qi.

After listening to the conversation between Hubu Shangshu and King Qi, Zhou Jin, as an outsider, had a dark face. Decisively interrupted the conversation between the two, King Qi was very surprised, Zhou Jin was cautious and would never make a transgression. Zhou Jin didn't give King Qi a chance to speak, and said directly to the Hubu Shangshu: "The adults think that they should resign from the post of the Hubu Shangshu as soon as possible, as soon as possible, the sooner the better, the bad reputation is a trivial matter, and I am most afraid that it will make the adult's life unsafe." ”

Now the king of Qi in the court can only use the high position of the head of the household, how can he be willing to give up in his heart. The head of the household is not clear, once the position of the book is lost, it is useless to align the king. But after Zhou Jin said this, how could he not have imagined that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has been strictly investigated, and the hundreds of officials in the imperial history have also wanted to embezzle the disaster relief funds. Once you start to scrutinize what you have done before, you may not be able to hide it, and your face turns pale at this time.

King Qi's face was even more embarrassed, and Zhou Jin said again in front of everyone: "Your Highness has to make a false impression of this matter, and I don't know that someone in the court has proposed to investigate this matter thoroughly during this time. This is just the beginning, and the officials who know the news are panicking. Your Majesty does not have a definite will now, but this matter will certainly be done. All His Highness can do now is to choose himself, destroy what he can, and push it on others if he can't, there is no other choice. ”

King Qi didn't even know about this matter, and Hubu Shangshu closed his eyes and seemed to be choosing. Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, and all the courtiers except for the officials of the Qi Palace's palace were thinking. What Zhou Jin said was not necessarily to say that the Hubu Shangshu was not to say everyone again, and in the silence, King Qi said: "Come here first today, Zhou Jin, you stay." ”

Seeing that everyone was about to leave King Qi, he said again: "After leaving the Qi Palace, don't come again." If it is not necessary, you don't have to go to the palace in person, let people bring a word. ”

Everyone bowed to King Qi and turned to leave, only Hubu Shangshu was still thinking about what Zhou Jin said, knowing this matter in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it. It wasn't until he walked out of the Qi Palace's mansion that the old man said, "Is there really no room for maneuver." ”

Only Zhou Jin and King Qi were left in the hall, until everyone left King Qi asked, "Who of these people is worth using, and who has different intentions." ”

King Qi, who was forcing his eyes, listened to Zhou Jin tell everything that had happened in Taiping City in the past few months, and after a long time, King Qi pondered. Zhou Jin said: "There are only two major events that will happen in Taiping City recently, and Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness can be respectful and polite on His Majesty's birthday. Only can not participate in this year's scientific expedition, after the chaos in the north officials will be dismissed, there will be a group of scholars to serve, this is a good opportunity, but His Royal Highness is afraid to lose. ”

King Qi's heart froze and thought a lot: "This king even went out of the mansion gate, and there are very few of his subordinates who can use it, what else can he do." Zhou Jin knows where the concubine is buried. ”

After Zhou Jin told Concubine Xin's funeral one by one, he suddenly had an idea in his heart. Since you can't go out of the house, there are very few things you can do, but you will inevitably enter the palace on your father's birthday. I can't help but think of a person, Concubine Xin once inadvertently mentioned something when she was alive. The prince once asked for a music score "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song", and after Concubine Xin played it, he was shocked to locate the court music. After more than ten years, it seems to have disappeared, and the complete score has never been lost to the people. For now, there is only one person in this piece, and the people who have heard this person play may not be able to reproduce the prosperity of the year.

asked, "Zhou Jin, have you ever remembered Miss Ji in Liu's mansion?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Jin suddenly remembered which woman, although he had never seen it, he had heard of it. The person loved by Liu Zhixing, the second son of Ji Yulian and Liu Mansion, has outstanding piano skills. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often visits, how can he not pay attention to it as a strategist of King Qi. After investigation, it was learned that the prince did not go to visit Liu Ce to solicit, if Liu Ce was like this, how could he gain the emperor's trust.

said: "Remember, what's wrong with this woman Your Highness." ”

King Qi said: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered." ”
