Chapter 398: Know in Your Heart
"Identity?" Shao Pei didn't understand what the emperor meant, and only after a long time did he ask: "Isn't it time to investigate the case of accepting bribes?" β
"I know this case in my heart, but I still need you to use this case to investigate Qi Lichen, this person is quite trusted by Jiang Lin, if you want to make him the prince in the future, the people around him must be clean." The emperor said coldly.
"This case, the emperor knows in his heart, then everyone has to know in their hearts, everyone in the court is staring at this case, so Weichen believes that the most important thing is to find out conclusive evidence to prove that the five princes have nothing to do with this case, someone has framed it, otherwise, when the emperor museum wants to crown someone as the crown prince, I'm afraid someone will talk about today's incident." Shao Pei said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Because he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Qi Lichen, and there was no need to waste effort on him, the emperor heard this, sighed faintly, and said after a long time: "That's it, you should bother more about this case." β
The emperor's meaning seems to be to check it himself, Shao Pei sighed, the emperor's suspicious personality has always been like this.
But it's okay, this matter doesn't fall on him, and it has nothing to do with him if he finds out anything.
The emperor glanced at him, "If you find out anything, don't rush to close the case first, tell me the results." β
It seems that the emperor really knows it, Shao Pei nodded, turned around and retreated.
The emperor turned his head and glanced at the big chamberlain, "You said this, Qi Lichen has been by Jiang Lin's side for so long, and his fiancΓ©e is Xi Muyun, it must not be easy to be able to subjugate such a woman." β
The big waiter brought a cup of ginseng tea, opened the lid, and cooled it until it was eight minutes cold, and then brought it to the emperor, "The emperor drinks tea, and the slaves of men and women don't understand it." β
"Don't you understand, only when a woman is conquered by a man, she will like him, Xi Muyun's ability is good, Qi Lichen is not bad, I want to meet her." The emperor shook his head.
"Won't you, don't you already have an idea? What else to look for? Ouchi asked with a smile.
"Look where this mysterious man came from." The emperor shook his head.
"I do remember that he was a jinshi two years ago, and returned to his hometown with glory, and he did not have an official and a half-post, but he has been a protΓ©gΓ© under the prime minister, and the prime minister probably felt that his talent was not as good as others, so he recommended others and did not recommend him as an official." The big chamberlain smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I can't see hope in the Prime Minister, so I choose to take refuge in the Five Princes." β
"This man has a lot of ideas." The emperor smiled and said: "Only those who have ideas and ambitions can go far." β
"Does the emperor really want to check again? His identity has always been like this, he usually comes to the capital when he has something, and he is in Qixian County when he has nothing to do, saying that he is a scholar, and he is quite respected in the local area, and it is estimated that people like him do not have much money. The big chamberlain bowed his head and said.
The emperor thought for a while, "I don't believe that this person is as simple as it seems, go and check, I don't suspect that he has anything to do with bribery, and he should not go back to avoid suspicion, but for his fiancΓ©e." β
The big chamberlain nodded, "Zhou Fang is good, this time he and the fifth prince Qi Gongzi have come all the way, maybe they are a little familiar, and it is better to check." β
The emperor remembered that day in the main hall, Zhou Fang would actually choose to lie to him for Gu Jianglin, and this person was useless from the moment he lied.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said: "There is a person named Xiaolin under Zhou Fang's hand, I remember it quite clearly, and he is also very diligent and clever, so let him do it." β
The Great Chamberlain nodded, turned and retreated.
Gu Jianglin finally regained a little freedom and could freely enter and leave his house.
It seems that the emperor is a little convinced, which is also a good thing. Love more than the book city
"That thing got mixed in." Xu Buzhi smiled, "We don't have to take the initiative to do the next thing, Shao Pei can find out that he is very careful and cares about the details." β
Gu Jianglin nodded, "It's just adding fuel to the fire." β
After speaking, he looked at the shade of the forest who turned his head, "I remember that when I was in Qixian County, I sat under the shade of the trees in the summer, set up a chessboard, and a game was a whole day. β
"I also remember that at that time, I always couldn't play the five princes, and I couldn't say it, but the five princes kept letting me play, and said that I would win the next game, and each game was more progressive." Xu Zhizhi smiled, recalling the past, and always felt that such a time was simple and happy.
"But then I always felt like you were making me." Gu Jianglin said with a smile: "Your chess skills have been passed down to your father, and your father is a master of chess. β
"How? I regard the Five Princes as friends, will the Five Princes treat me as those flattering villains? Xu Buzhi lowered his head and smiled, "I know that I am also improving every day, and you are also improving every day, so it is normal to go down, and then there is no such big obsession. β
"I don't think I have played chess for a long time, since I came out of Qixian, I have been busy with all kinds of things, and I can't even break a chess game in a fragmented time." Gu Jianglin immediately asked someone to move a small table and put it under the shade, "Let's play the next game today." β
Xu Buzhi nodded, "Okay, then let's go down." β
The chess game opened, and the black and white sides just started, occupying their respective cities with a silent attitude.
The more black and white pieces are on the chessboard, the more and more are eaten.
"Actually, I didn't like to play chess in the past, because my father taught me that playing chess can show a person's character, and at that time, I always felt that people in the court were too badly dressed, so I didn't want to play chess." After Xu Buzhi finished speaking, he dropped another piece on the chessboard.
"I asked you to play chess with me, and you never seemed to refuse." Gu Jianglin asked.
"That's because I'm not afraid of being seen through by the five princes." Xu Bu smiled, "Fifth prince, can you see my heart from the chessboard." β
"You knew very well back then, but now you are getting more and more mature, and you are too good, and your methods are not strong enough, and you have driven me into a desperate situation several times, but you have made me turn around and kill back." Gu Jianglin smiled.
"I'm just a scholar, so that's fine." After Xu didn't know what he said, he dropped another piece, and then looked at the chess game, "It seems that I lost again." β
"It's better to change Qi from now on." Gu Jianglin said.
"There are no such rules for playing chess." Xu Buzhi shook his head and said.
"Give it a try and see if I can bring your death back to life." Gu Jianglin stood up and was already planning to change positions, Xu Buyi also nodded, and after the two switched positions, Gu Jianglin said, "It's your turn." β
"Otherwise, if you fall again, I'm dead, if I let me go first, wouldn't it be too unfair." Xu Buzhi smiled and said.
"There are rules for playing chess, and you should play chess first." Gu Jianglin pointed to the chessboard and said, "Let's go." β
Xu Buzhi thought for a while, in fact, black chess has many ways on the chessboard, and every move can kill a white piece.
He casually played a game and captured more than a dozen white pieces, and the white pieces on the chessboard instantly withered.
Gu Jianglin smiled, next to the subordinate, the ruggedness has not changed much, and now it is still the advantage of the sunspot.
