Chapter 44 Yingtai Watching the Lotus

In the nunnery, the third prince of Zhu roared almost frantically: "You guys are too much! Why do you still take me, the third prince of Zhu, in your eyes? ”

Gui Ming quietly listened to the roar of the third prince of Zhu before he apologized: "There is a reason for the incident, the third prince still needs to forgive my family for saying goodbye!" There were only the two of them in the nunnery, and he was no longer taboo about telling Qi Liang's identity.

This meeting was highly confidential, and only he and Qi Liang knew about the side of the Efu Mansion, and Gu Ziming and Li Fen first knew who they wanted to see after entering the hospital. On the side of the third prince of Zhu, Gui Ming didn't know how many people knew, and after listening to Qi Liang's words, he kept a heart and asked for a secret conversation with the third prince of Zhu.

What to say goodbye to? I haven't seen each other, what do you say? The third prince of Zhu was so angry that he vomited blood, his thin face was straight, his eyebrows were upside down, and he hummed: "When they all arrived at the door, they went back, and there was no one in their eyes!" ”

Gui Ming didn't want to be entangled with the third prince of Zhu on this etiquette anymore, and said in a deep voice: "The third prince! My family reminds you to pay more attention to the people around you! ”

The third prince of Zhu said indignantly: "Who is next to me? Am I a vain Mafulin? Or is it my military advisor Li Zhu? "A face full of sarcasm.

Gui Ming didn't know why, but he believed in his own son, and asked calmly: "Third prince!" How many people know about this meeting? ”

The third prince of Zhu calmed down and said, "Only Prince Ben and Zhou Quanbin know!" ”

Gui Ming asked suspiciously, "What about the people in this courtyard?" Zhou Quanbin knew that it was not strange, because this matter was negotiated between him and Zhou Quanbin.

The third prince of Zhu said: "There are five people in the courtyard, except for the prince, the apprentice Ma Fulin, the military advisor Li Zhu, and the two guards Xiang Ju and Liu Hantian!" Although they knew about it, they didn't know who the prince was going to see! ”

This is strange, what is the son of the world worried about? Gui Ming wisely stopped mentioning this topic, and said: "The prince also asked me to tell the third prince, don't rush into trouble, now is not the time!" ”

The third prince of Zhu said angrily again: "This is the matter of Benxiangtang, is Wu Shizi too lenient?" ”

Gui Ming said lightly: "The prince also said that if you want to make trouble in Da Nei, you will die and have no place to be buried!" ”

The third prince of Zhu was stunned, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared, this was the core content of their operation, how could the other party know?

Gui Ming observed the words and knew that what the prince said was true, so he couldn't help but wonder where did the news come from? He knew that neither his Flying Leopard Group nor Zhang Jingshan's Nighthawk Group had reported this content.

"The prince hopes that the third prince can remember our good words, the foundation of the third prince in the capital is not easy to come by, but you have to cherish it!" Gui Ming said euphemistically, but all of them were threatening.

The third prince of Zhu was already in turmoil, and he didn't know who had leaked his secrets, but he still said hardly: "A certain family's affairs will be handled by themselves, and there is no need for outsiders to point fingers!" ”

Gui Ming smiled and said, "In this way, I will leave now!" Although the third prince of Zhu is still hard-hearted, he has been empty, and when he saw that the goal was achieved, he remembered Qi Liang's words, and left after saying it.

Qi Liang walked out of the courtyard gate, thinking about that familiar face all the way, not tall, with bright eyes, and a very delicate appearance, where had he seen it? This person should only be one or two face-to-face relationships, otherwise it is impossible not to remember. I really couldn't think of it, so Qi Liang put it at ease for the time being, and it was important to leave here as soon as possible.

After several days, the city of Beijing was calm, and Qi Liang knew that the third prince of Zhu had accepted his advice, which was confirmed by the news from Zhang Jingshan. However, it seems that the third prince of Zhu left the city of Beijing, and the inside of Zhong Saburo Xiangtang was in a rumor and carried out a brutal purge.

Qi Liang couldn't help but worry about the safety of the people who had broken into his inside, and immediately summoned Gui Ming to ask, Gui Ming said: "Don't worry, the prince of the world, there are two kinds of people who provide us with the information of the third prince of Zhu: one is at the lower level of Zhong Sanlang Xiangtang, they have a monetary relationship with us, and we pay them to give the news; One is at the top of Zhong Saburo Xiangtang, and they are in a strategic cooperative relationship with us, and both sides use each other. Zhong Saburo Xiangtang's high-level organization is tight, and we don't have anyone who really penetrates into it, as for the subordinates of the Nighthawk Group, they don't know! ”

Qi Liang didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed? The Beijing intelligence system of Pingxi Wangfu has been operating for so many years, but it is impossible to effectively monitor Zhong Saburo Xiangtang, an important political force in Beijing! On the other hand, he was also alert to the Nighthawk Group, he didn't know everything about it, in case there was an accident with the Tuofei people or Zhang Jingshan, wouldn't the Nighthawk Group get out of control?

Qi Liang was worried, but he couldn't say it, for fear that Gui Ming and Zhang Jingshan would have ideas. "Gui Ming! You inform Jingshan, if there is danger, let the team withdraw, safety first! "When the Nighthawk Group was first established, every member of the team was the essence, and there was no loss, and in general, the third prince of Zhu and the Efu Mansion belonged to a strategic alliance, and it was not worth sacrificing personnel.

Gui Ming bowed, and Qi Liang said: "Let Jingshan provide the organizational structure and membership list of the Nighthawk Group as soon as possible, and he should also send the report on the budget and use of funds of the Nighthawk Group as soon as possible!" ”

There was a sound outside, Qi Liang stopped talking, and Qian Yunfang came in to report: "Shizi! The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent an invitation! ”

Qi Liang wondered, is there any happy event in the palace? When I took a look, it was Kangxi who invited the ministers to Yingtai to watch the lotus!

"Who are they?"

Qian Yunfang said: "The ministers of the first grade, the scholars of the various palaces, the princes of Baylor County have all participated!" ”

This is quite grand, Qi Liang pondered how to participate in this banquet?

Yingtai is also known as Baotai, in the current Zhongnanhai, was built in the Ming Dynasty, faces the water on three sides, lined with pavilions and pavilions, like a fairy island in the sea, so it is called Yingtai, it is the place where the emperor and the queen concubines often come to escape the summer and visit. There are buildings such as Xiangluan Pavilion, Hanyuan Palace, Xiangyan Hall (i.e., Penglai Pavilion), Yingxun Pavilion, etc., mountain stones, flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions, live with water, beautiful and pleasant.

June is the season of lotus blooming, the green lotus cover of the South China Sea is like a layer of carpet, with the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun." The poem is the most appropriate way to describe this situation!

Qi Liang passed through Xiangluan Pavilion in his official uniform, entered Hanyuan Gate, and entered Yingtai, where the banquet was already full of guests, he came later on purpose, which banquet was not intrigue and ridiculed Tottenham? He's tired of it.

"It's coming!" Suo Etu pulled Qi Liang to sit down, he was deeply sorry for what happened to Nan Shu last time.

Although Qi Liang was dissatisfied with Suo Etu, he could only talk to Suo Etu here, and said, "Hello Master Suo!" ”

After chatting with Suo Etu for less than three sentences, Kangxi came, the ministers knelt down to welcome the holy car, Qi Liang glanced up, and was almost incontinent with fright, he saw that familiar face again, and he was by Kangxi's side! He remembered it now, that day he went to pick up Princess Jianning, and when he turned to Cining Palace, he was stopped by a small yellow door, which was this small yellow door.

What Kangxi said and did next, Qi Liang didn't know, he was trembling, he just wanted to leave early.

Qi Liang remembered that this little yellow gate was Xiao Jingzi, the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, Kangxi's cronies, why did he go to the third prince of Zhu? I don't know how much he knew that day? The more I thought about it, the more unstable I became.

The breeze is gentle, the lotus flowers are fragrant, and everyone's face is rippling with a bright smile like a lotus, only Qi Liang has a white and red face, and the bean sweat is like a drench.

"Forehead! What's wrong with you? Kangxi had already noticed Qi Liang's strangeness.

"Shizi! The emperor called you! Suo Etu reminded softly.

Qi Liang still didn't react, Kangxi frowned, Suo Etu was secretly worried about Qi Liang, and said hurriedly: "Shizi!" The emperor called you! "It's a lot louder.

"Hmmm! Yes! Qi Liang reacted, and Suo Etu said again: "Shizi! The emperor is calling you! ”

Qi Liang hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, apologized: "The slave deserves to die!" Damn the minions! Missed the Holy Hearing! ”

Kangxi did not blame, but praised: "When you hear the good deeds of the forehead, the subjects chant it, and you should praise it!" Come, have a drink with me! ”

A little yellow door came to give wine, Qi Liang looked up and saw that it was that familiar face, he was so nervous that he trembled, Xiao Jingzi glanced at him inadvertently, Qi Liang's hand shook, and the wine splashed all over his chest.

"What's wrong with the forehead?" Kangxi asked with concern, "But you are sick, do you need to go down and rest for a while?" ”

Qi Liang fell to the ground again: "The slave is weak and dizzy, and he feels very uncomfortable, and he wants to confess and retreat!" ”

Kang Xien agreed: "Let's go down first!" ”

Qi Liang kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen, the slave will retire!" ”
