Chapter 377: Return to Beijing
"You seem to have a big opinion of my father." Gu Jianglin asked.
"When he was young, his few political achievements were indeed a good emperor, but now, he is good at playing with imperial power, such an emperor, if I have no opinion, it is not true." Qi Lichen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Gu Jianglin was not angry, "What you said is very pertinent. β
Qi Lichen nodded, "When you returned, your enemy was watching you from the city tower, and my enemy, guess where he was?" β
"It should be in a hurry to jump in the house, the people sent out are useless." Gu Jianglin laughed, "I have to say that the person who poisoned him has some ability, but it's a pity that his mind is not right, and he can only be arrested and handed over to the judiciary for disposal, this person must still have a lot of lives on his back." β
Qi Lichen smiled and didn't speak.
Although Gu Jianglin hadn't been to the capital for a long time, the emperor seemed to know that he had already made preparations, and ordered someone to arrange the house, which was all cleaned up, and the Five Princes' Mansion hung on it.
"If you are crowned as the crown prince, then you will live in the East Palace, and I am afraid that this palace will not be able to live for many days, so it is better for the five princes to give me this mansion at that time." Qi Lichen smiled and said.
He looks good at this house, especially very elegant.
The black wall, the cyan brick and stone, and the straight bamboo inside the wall, are lush and half-popped, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they look at it.
After entering, it is an elegant courtyard, and there is a rockery in the middle, which is very exquisite, the water is constantly flowing, it is living water, and it will not stink.
Some flowers are also cultivated with soil on the rockery, and when the petals fall, it is really falling flowers.
"Qi Gongzi doesn't have any place to stay in the capital, so it's better to live here, and familiarize yourself with your own territory in advance in the future." Gu Jianglin said gently.
"It seems that you have won the battle for yourself." Qi Lichen said with a smile.
"I didn't want to fight before, but now I have to." Gu Jianglin said: "What's the matter, do you think I can't be a prince and an emperor in the future?" β
"Of course not, I just think you made the right decision, and there are some things I can let go of the obsession in my heart." Qi Lichen chose a secluded room, and before he could pack his things, he began to write letters.
From the time the misunderstanding was resolved to now, they have also been together for a few days, and they have to disperse again.
Qi Lichen really realized what it means to not see each other for a day, and that taste is really uncomfortable.
But I don't know why, the last reply hasn't been received, he also put down the pen, I don't know what to write, I thought about it and finally took out a famous post, wrote a post, and asked the next person to present it to the prime minister, the prime minister didn't succeed, and now it is estimated that he will also meet him.
Sure enough, the reply soon arrived, saying that the prime minister was holding a banquet in the mansion to invite him.
Qi Lichen didn't bring anyone with him, so he planned to go to the meeting alone, and when he went out, he ran into Gu Jianglin, Gu Jianglin smiled and said, "I'm going to meet the emperor, why don't you go with me?" β
"I made an appointment with the Prime Minister." Qi Lichen said coldly, hearing the words of the current emperor, he couldn't help but let out a burst of hatred. Dotted Library
He was really scared, and when he saw the emperor, he couldn't help but take out his weapon and assassinate him.
Although he knows that this kind of behavior is very stupid, but the deep hatred of his parents will make him unable to restrain himself.
Gu Jianglin didn't force him, "I plan to officially introduce you in front of the emperor this time, you have a half-official position in the court, and it will be beneficial to yourself in the future." β
Qi Lichen thought for a while, "I'm not in a hurry, some things are still done easily with my identity as a Jianghu person for a while." β
Gu Jianglin nodded, "I'll follow your wishes." β
As soon as I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I felt that the atmosphere here was slightly wrong.
Waiting up and down, from the attendants who guided the door as soon as they entered, to the servants who served the food, Qi Lichen could feel that they were proficient in martial arts, and their pace was also very steady, this was definitely a person who practiced martial arts.
After a few cups of tea, the prime minister was late.
Qi Lichen got up, hugged his fists and saluted, but the prime minister sneered and said with concern: "Do you really respect me now?" Since it's not, why bother with this salute, is it just a polite thing on the surface, everyone is now showing out the cards, since it's not a real tribute, then you don't have to do these kung fu on the surface, it's disgusting to look at, the Qi Pavilion Lord won't be so hypocritical, right? β
"Since I know that someone wants to harm me, then I have to be careful every step of the way, walking on thin ice, I am afraid that if I do something wrong, I may be accused of being presumptuous against Shangguan, and I will have to suffer no less than now." Qi Lichen hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a light smile.
"Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." The prime minister snorted coldly, "Sit down, I know that you came to me today for a special matter, so if you have something, you can talk about it." β
Qi Lichen nodded, and then said: "The Jianghu organizations that the Prime Minister is looking for shouldn't be serious, a group of rabble, don't you really think you can do anything to me, right?" β
The prime minister raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. β
"Prime Minister, you have always been able to pretend to be stupid, but if you see the evidence in front of you, I don't know if this trick is useless." Qi Lichen shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "But the matter of using the Jianghu organization to murder a Jianghu person, this matter will definitely be settled with your identity as the prime minister, right?" However, he colluded with King Mujun to seek the treasure of the country, and he never told the emperor in private, what do you think the emperor will think? β
The prime minister gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have evidence for this matter?" β
Qi Lichen shook his head, "It's a pity that there is no evidence, but you have left a lot of tricks along the way, as long as you investigate a little, there will be evidence to follow, but the evil things you did are not this one, some time ago, I did a lot of heartwarming things with the ministers of the court, if I carefully investigate one by one, how many of them do you think will be unjust?" β
"Qi Lichen, I really think highly of you, don't you think that these words can scare me, it's too naΓ―ve." The prime minister said disdainfully.
Qi Lichen smiled and nodded, "I also think it's too naΓ―ve, but the treasure alone is enough to make the emperor suspect that you have different intentions." β
"This treasure was found by your Qingyu Pavilion, I haven't seen a shadow of it, the Qi Pavilion Lord shouldn't want to rely on me for this matter." The prime minister sneered, "If you came to tell me these things today, it would be too low-level. β
The prime minister paused, and then said: "This matter has always been your brother Yu's intervention, if the emperor finds out, I can completely push it on you, don't forget, you used to be my protΓ©gΓ©, but you have such a strange and unpredictable identity, no matter who it is, you will feel that your origin is not simple, such a person has a purpose, do you think the emperor will not worry about people like you, what kind of consequences will there be by his side?" β
"I will personally present the treasure to the emperor, and when the time comes, your conspiracy will naturally be revealed, and Sima Zhao's heart will be known to passers-by." Qi Lichen stood up, "I'm here to tell you today, I can see everything you did before, I can see everything clearly around you, if the Prime Minister doesn't want to die, then make plans early." β
