Chapter 342: Cooperation

"What do you mean by that? Prime Minister, although you are in a high position, it does not mean that you can point fingers in front of me. Gu Xizhou was originally very angry, and he couldn't stand it when he heard this, especially the attitude of the prime minister, even if he was a powerful minister, what qualifications did he have to criticize a prince like this?

The prime minister bowed deeply again, "Don't dare, the sixth prince, we fought before, and the internal friction was too much, and if we continue like this, wouldn't we make a wedding dress for others in vain, now think about what the source of our struggle is, I'm afraid it may be calculated and can't be said." ”

Gu Xizhou frowned, "This prince doesn't want to settle accounts with you, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise, I will ask the family to invite you out." ”

Seeing that he was still stubborn, the prime minister said in a deep voice: "Do you think that I came to you to say these words because Qi Lichen betrayed me?" Let me tell you, although the prime minister is not more broad-minded than a gentleman, he will not do such a thing, and if he has a private conflict, he will not let him have a family, but you, the next family, are he his real masters? ”

Although Gu Xizhou was unwilling to fall behind in front of the prime minister, he also knew that what he said was right, and said in his heart that there were too many secrets in this person, which made it difficult for people to see clearly, and he was not at ease to reuse it, but it was a pity that such a talent was abandoned, and he couldn't trust him if he was retained.

This was his problem, but he couldn't figure it out, if he wasn't loyal to him, who else could Qi Lichen be loyal to?

The prime minister could see the hesitation and suspicion on Gu Xizhou's face, and he was relieved, and Gu Xizhou was also suspicious, so the conversation between them would not stop abruptly, and there was a point in continuing to talk.

"Let the little guy serve me a cup of tea, I'll tell you what I found out about 1510, and I can assure you that this matter is related to the five princes." The prime minister said and sat down on his own.

Gu Xizhou sighed, to this day, he doesn't seem to have to be so arrogant, thinking of this, he smiled faintly and said, "Come on, serve tea to the VIPs." ”

I was relieved that I didn't stop the prime minister's family outside the door, if I hadn't stopped him and made Gu Xizhou unhappy, their heads would have moved a long time ago.

The family retreated, and the little servant served a cup of good Emeifeng tea and closed the door.

"Qi Lichen has a master, this master is not you and me, think about it, Qi Lichen's fiancée, Xi Muyun, is the one the emperor wants to see, why was he summoned by the emperor, isn't it because of the merit in building the dam, but the dam is the responsibility of the prince, why did Qi Lichen's fiancée do this, isn't it because of her husband, and she is friendly with the five princes?" The prime minister lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Gu Xizhou frowned, "I have also found out this relationship, especially after Qi Lichen disappeared in the past two days, I investigated Qixian County, where he frequented, and found that he dissolved the marriage contract with his fiancée some time ago, and it may not have anything to do with the fifth prince." I don't know if I say this, is it to comfort myself or excuse others?

He really didn't want to believe that Qi Lichen would actually be with that half-dead Gu Jianglin, who had been sent out for so many years and had no real power, what did Qi Lichen like about him and would actually help him.

In fact, he is also a little interested in Xi Muyun, there are many women who use their intelligence in the family house in this era, and there are really only a handful of women who can be used for big things.

He was really getting more and more interested in these two people.

"It's just a trick." The prime minister shook his head and sneered, "These two people have great ambitions, and this grievance is naturally bearable." ”

"I see, then Xi Muyun helping the five princes is also Qi Lichen's meaning, or rather, it was assigned by Qi Lichen, in fact, the dam map, this is what Qi Lichen found to dedicate to the five princes, but his identity at that time made him unable to contact the five princes, so he let his fiancée do it." Gu Xizhou didn't know what to say for a while, so he laughed stunned, and only then said after a long time: "It seems that I was treated as a fool." ”

The prime minister sighed faintly, and then said: "They are so thoughtful, they have prepared so early, wouldn't the two of us fight in their arms, maybe they provoked it, I don't want to talk about the previous things, in short, I don't want to be enemies with the six princes in the future, and even I want to help you, otherwise the five princes come to power, how can I still live." ”

Gu Xizhou saw that what he said was sincere, so he nodded lightly, "Okay, there is another question, that is, this time Xi Muyun disappeared, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

"What does it have to do with our cooperation?" The prime minister frowned slightly, this matter is quite a big trouble, the emperor even dispatched the guards of the capital, he doesn't want to easily leak the bottom to others, but at this time, Gu Xizhou asked these words, obviously with some certainty, if he didn't answer, would it have an impact on their cooperation?

Gu Xizhou smiled, "I know that you are not quite deep in the city, and it can be seen from the several methods used to rectify me, so I don't want to cooperate with a person who has secrets, especially in this matter that I care about, and you seem to be particularly targeted at Qi Lichen Even if he is the master of Qingyu Pavilion, why?" ”

The prime minister frowned, and then said: "It seems that I haven't seen you for a few days, you have come to this point, and the news I brought is not of much value." ”

"You say it's worth it, and the next words are even more valuable, it depends on whether you are willing to tell it out." Gu Xizhou said coldly.

It is naturally impossible for the prime minister to shake off the treasure, but if he wants to find a perfect excuse, it seems to be a little difficult at this moment, thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Qi Lichen has been in the capital before, thanks to your protection, I have always wanted to do something to him, there is no way, he likes his fiancée very much, so I set up a scam, kidnapped his fiancée, asked him to ransom him with money, and wanted to annihilate him in one fell swoop when he came, but unfortunately, this plan also failed." ”

"So, you came to me to cooperate at this time, it seems that you can't handle it yourself." There was a slight disdain in Gu Xizhou's tone.

"The important thing is that our interests are tied together, haven't you heard about it? After the emperor inspected Yanzhou, he was very satisfied with the five princes, and in the past two years, the emperor was a little tired of government, saying that when the five princes came back, the matter of establishing the prince would be decided, why wait until the five princes came back? Don't you know why? The prime minister said with a sneer.

Gu Xizhou suddenly felt a chill in his heart, "Father, he won't treat me like this, I will accompany my father to deal with big and small things." ”

"Who said it wasn't, didn't the five princes make meritorious contributions to the dam? The emperor stared at this credit, not to mention, this drawing was not provided by him, but Xi Muyun, if it is said that the dam is really credited with Xi Muyun, we can make a fuss about this matter, but Qi Lichen's city is too deep, and he can add merit to him, even if it is his fiancée, we have to strangle him in Yanzhou. The prime minister took a deep breath.

Gu Xizhou can be regarded as understanding, this matter is too big, one person can't do it, the two of them have their own people who want to kill, pull each other in the same boat, and if something happens in the future, they can bear it for each other, this old fox is really worthy of its reputation.
