"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" There was silence in the main hall of the Jin Kingdom, and at this time someone stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Emperor Jin said with a smile: "Sang Aiqing still has something, please tell me." ”

Sang Wei took out the fold from his arms and presented it respectfully: "Because the loyal general Liu Guohui has not returned outside, the fold sent by someone has just arrived, and the old minister has not had time to see it, so he asked the emperor to take a look." ”

"Oh, you haven't even seen it, bring it to me and show it."

Immediately, the head of the palace came up, took the fold, and presented it to Emperor Jin. Emperor Jin opened it, it was the fold of King Shi Zhong of Qi, the more Emperor Jin looked at it, the more angry he became, he coughed a few times, and threw the fold in front of King Qi: "Look at the good things you have done!" ”

The king of Qi didn't know what was going on, so he knelt down in fright, picked up the fold on the ground and saw that it was the fold that participated in his wanton search for beauties in captivity in the mansion, and robbed the daughter of General Liu, wanting to do something wrong. King Qi hurriedly kowtowed: "Father, the child is guilty." ”

King Qi looked at his father's gloomy face and hurriedly lowered his head, and defended: "Father, the son just admired Miss Liu, said a few words, and never said anything about robbery, this is obviously framed by someone, if the father does not believe it, you can send someone to investigate, then Miss Liu is in her mansion, how can the son do such a despicable thing." ”

"Really? Then how do you explain the fact that you are keeping beauties in captivity? Emperor Jin's tone softened slightly.

"There are some beauties in the house, but they are not as bad as they say, and those beauties came to the house voluntarily, only to blame the sons and daughters for being too young, and the blood is strong, just arrived in this Tanzhou, and lost their minds for a while, the sons knew that they were wrong, and they were willing to be punished, and they asked their father to surrender their crimes...... "King Qi knelt, his head knocked very hard, and the mistake seemed to be very sincere.

Emperor Jin looked at him, he was still young and handsome, and sighed: "Forget it, male husband, it's nothing to have a few beautiful concubines, I will punish you for being grounded in the mansion first, if I find out that you do have misdeeds with the daughter of General Liu, or if there are other things to hide from me, I will deal with them together!" ”

King Qi hurriedly replied: "The child has thanked his father, and he will definitely reflect on it in the palace." ”

Emperor Jin: "It's good to know!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the head of the hall hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" ”

King Qi returned to the mansion, and immediately after that, someone came to report: "Feng Situ asks to see him." ”

This Feng Situ is actually Feng Dao, the prime minister of the Chu State, and was named Situ after returning to the Jin State.

When King Qi heard that Feng Situ asked to see him, he nodded: "Let him come to the study to see me." ”

Feng Dao entered the study and saluted, and King Qi asked, "Feng Situ came today for the affairs of the court?" ”

Feng Dao: "Yes, the old man is worried, now the emperor is hesitating to choose the crown prince, and today someone will participate in your copy, making it clear that he wants to slander His Royal Highness, and his virtue is lost." ”

"The old miscellaneous hair surnamed Sang, said that he hadn't seen the excerpts, deceived the ghost, I think it was me who instructed him to let the surname Liu, when my father recognized me as a righteous son, he obstructed everywhere, and he took most of the exploits in attacking the Chu State, and now he still wants to block my position as the prince, hum! Don't! King Qi slammed his fist on the table, gritting his teeth with hatred.

Feng Dao looked at King Qi, nodded and said, "The old man understands that His Royal Highness has no choice, but now that the surnamed Liu is biting and holding on, it is really difficult to do." ”

"Feng Situ, didn't you come today to give advice, do you have any opinions?" King Qi smiled.

"Yes, yes, it's not a good idea."

"Tell me about it."

"Okay, the old man said bluntly, Your Royal Highness can go to the fold, and implore the emperor to give you a marriage and marry the daughter of General Liu as a concubine, then General Liu has military power in his hands, I heard that he loves this little daughter the most, Your Highness, if you marry his daughter, it will naturally fall to your side, isn't it also a good thing, and it can also make the emperor feel that you are indeed in love with that Liu girl, and the gossip is self-defeating."

King Qi nodded, and was a little puzzled: "Feng Situ, don't you also want to marry your daughter to me, why do you talk about matchmaking for others today?" ”

Feng Dao hurriedly said: "How could the old man ruin His Highness's big thing because of his own daughter, not to mention that His Royal Highness really wants to marry Jiao'er, then you can marry at any time, the old man will recognize you." ”

King Qi pointed at Feng and said, "Hehe, you old horseman, you are very good at abacus!" Ha ha...... Okay, I'm going to break it, if he doesn't want to marry his daughter, I'll let him go around without eating! ”

Sending Feng Dao away, King Qi sat behind the bookcase, thinking with a calm face: It's been more than a year, because it took a lot of manpower to find the emperor, and he didn't find it, the demon emperor was very dissatisfied, if he asked for help from the ghost at this time, he would definitely be taken care of, Feng Dao's strategy was just to solve the urgent need, and it was okay if the emperor couldn't find it, if he really found it, maybe he would be useless, how could he dominate the world. Now I have been found to be arresting boys, girls, and children every day, that is, far away, because they have no evidence, and if they are caught, they will not be over, and they need to be careful...... Recently, my reputation in Tanzhou is too bad, and I have to find a way.

King Qi frowned, suddenly thought of Du Shangshu, and said to himself: "Why didn't I expect that there is a Du Gongzi who is famous in the capital, okay!" ”

"Ma Ping." King Qi shouted.

"The subordinates are here." Ma Ping pushed the door in.

"You go to Du Yan's Mansion immediately and let him bring his son to my mansion."

"Yes." Ma Ping was ordered to go out.

＊＊＊

Du Shangshu saw Ma Ping and knew that he was going to take his son with him, so he was very scared, and said to Ma Ping: "Ma guard, can you take the first step, I have something I want to say to the dog." ”

Ma Ping understood what he meant and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door, not too long." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, horse guards."

Waiting for Ma Ping to leave, Du Shangshu pulled Du Wenbo: "Wenbo, listen, when you arrive at the Qi Palace, no matter what the King of Qi says, you can't refute it, what he says is what it is, listen?" ”

Du Wenbo said angrily: "It depends on what he says!" ”

"Son, you have seen his ruthlessness, if it weren't for his father's low voice, how could there be today's day, you will listen to your father, then the king of Qi is likely to be the future prince, now the old emperor is sick, if he ascends the throne as the emperor, with you disobeying him like now, there will be good fruit to eat! It's for your good to be a Father! Du Shangshu said that the old tears were rampant.

Du Wenbo looked at the old father's pleading eyes, his face was full of tears, and he was a little soft-hearted, alas! He is also for my good, so I can't let the Du family be ruined because of me......

Du Shangshu looked at his son and seemed to be a little loose, and said: "Wenbo, for the sake of being a father, for the sake of your son, agree to be a father!" ”

Du Wenbo didn't say anything, and nodded.

When he arrived at the Qi Palace, Du Shangshu knelt down and saluted: "The lower officials have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

Seeing that Du Wenbo was standing still, he quickly pulled the corner of his clothes, Du Wenbo looked at his father, and had to kneel down and salute: "Du Wenbo, a grass man, has seen His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

King Qi: "Okay, okay, the two of you quickly get up and give me a seat." ”

Du Shangshu: "Your Highness has been thanked by the lower officials." ”

King Qi: "Du Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, I invite you to come here today because I have something to discuss with Du Shangshu." ”

Du Shangshu: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, please speak." ”

King Qi looked at Du Wenbo: "This king heard that your son, who is talented and strong in martial arts, appreciates it very much." ”

Du Shangshu said modestly: "His Royal Highness has praised it falsely, how can he be as good as His Royal Highness the King of Qi said." ”

King Qi: "Where is it, this king is not nonsense, I heard that there is a legend in Tanzhou City, saying that Du Gongzi is not only a talent, but also a gentleman, he really has both ability and political integrity, this king thinks of such a good talent, it is not a pity not to use, so I want to invite your son to my house to do a long history, I don't know what Du Shangshu wants?" ”

Du Wenbo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and said: "Your Highness, how can the grass people be virtuous, how can they bear such a heavy burden, or ask Your Highness to take it back-"

King Qi interrupted him and said sharply: "Could it be that Du Gongzi doesn't look down on me, the Qi Palace!" ”

Du Shangshu was next to him and heard that King Qi wanted his son to make a long history, and he was very happy in his heart, but when Du Wenbo said this, he was so frightened that he sweated, and stood up tremblingly and said: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, don't be angry, the dog has not done any errands, and I am afraid that I will not do it well, so I dare not take over the post of Changshi, and I beg Your Highness not to blame." ”

King Qi: "Where is Shangshu, how can I blame, you can take your time if you haven't done it, what are you afraid of, a manly man, you should make a meritorious career, do you have to hide under the wings of this old man for the rest of your life." ”

Du Shangshu nodded: "Yes, yes, the dog follows His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the future will be immeasurable, and the lower official has thanked His Highness." After speaking, he turned his head and pulled Du Wenbo and made a look.

Du Wenbo looked at his father, thought about what his father had said before leaving, sighed and nodded, and stepped forward to kneel in front of King Qi: "His Royal Highness King Xie Qi knows the grace of his encounter, and he will do his best to use it for His Royal Highness." ”

King Qi: "You go back to the house and wait, recently this king was grounded by the emperor, and when the ban is lifted, Ma Ping will notify you to come to the house." ”

"Yes." Du Wenbo responded, saluted with his father, and withdrew.

***

Back in the house, Du Shangshu was very happy and said to Du Wenbo: "Wenbo, this is a good thing, now you are his minister, you are his confidant, and you will wait for the future...... Oh, you also know that the other princes are still young, and the king of Qi is bound to win, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future! Haha......"

Du Wenbo looked at his father, did not answer, and turned away silently.
