Long Tai calmed down and asked with a smile: "Do you think that Zhao Bangyao has a secret in impeaching you this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, this excerpt is also quite clear about the details of Qianwu Peak that day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qi Ning said: "This Zhao Zhongcheng is well-informed, if he hears some news about Qianwuling, I believe he has this ability, but he is so clear about the details of what happened in Qianwuling, and even mentioned that I came out of the Black Stone Palace, which is a little strange, could it be that Zhao Zhongcheng was also present at the time?" He smiled faintly: "The Qianwuling incident is a Jianghu incident in which the Shenhou Mansion intervened, and it was not within the scope of Yushitai's interference, why is he so interested in this matter?" ”

Long Tai said: "Ximen Wuxian also entered the palace to tell me what happened in Qianwuling, and he was full of praise for you, saying that you calmed down a big dispute, yes, I heard that the Black Lotus Sect that Jiuxi Poison King went to Beijing with you to confess his guilt, where is the other person now?" ”

"Your Majesty, he should already be in the capital at this moment, and he will find me in the next two days." Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, when I was in Chengdu, it was Xuanyuan Po who conveyed the will of the Holy Lord and asked me to participate in the attack on Qianwuling, and when I left Beijing, the emperor only asked me to investigate the incident in the Black Rock Cave, and I don't know why he changed his mind and let me go to Qianwuling?" ”

Longtai smiled: "You really don't understand what I mean? In fact, this is not what I remember, it is Ximen Wuji's advice, saying that the old Marquis of Jinyi conquered Xichuan back then, and he won the hearts of the Miao people, and the Miao people are very in awe of the old Marquis of Jinyi, and the Black Lotus Sect and the Miao people want to do it, if you can come forward, the Miao people may not secretly collude with the Black Lotus Sect. After a pause, he said: "You have just inherited the title not long ago, and many people in the court still don't care about you, I gave you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and you should also thank me for it." ”

Qi Ning frowned and said: "Your Majesty, in this way, it is indeed Ximen Wuxian who admonished the emperor and asked me to attack Qianwuling?" Thinking of the conversation with the Immortal Holy Hand Li Xigong at the beginning, this time I was sure that it was really Ximen Wuxi's advice, and my heart was even more vigilant.

Seeing Qi Ning's solemn expression, Longtai asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Ning knew that his suspicion of Ximen Wuxian was only speculation, and there was no real evidence, so he couldn't speak out in front of Longtai, so he could only say: "I always thought that Ximen Shenhou didn't want the court to be involved in the affairs of the Shenhou Mansion, but this time I didn't expect him to take the initiative to let me get involved." ”

"Wei Shutong said on the excerpt that the Black Stone Cave was framed by someone, and the real culprit has not yet been found." Longtai frowned slightly, "What's going on?" ”

Qi Ning immediately informed Longtai of some things that happened in Xichuan selectively, and Longtai bowed his head slightly and said: "Since Bai Tangling is alive, the Black Stone Cave is naturally framed. After a while, he said: "Although no evidence has been found, Li Hongxin's behavior is extremely suspicious, and it seems that this person will not be able to settle down after all." ”

"Wei Shutong is going all out to guard against Li Hongxin." Qi Ning said: "Although this old guy is cunning, but since he has torn his face with Li Hongxin, now he can only rely on the emperor to support him, and this person is available now." ”

Long Tai nodded and said: "I haven't thought about moving him now, as long as he can guard Xichuan for me, not only will I not touch him, but I will also reward him." He added: "The biggest threat to Xichuan is only Li Hongxin, as long as Li Hongxin is stared at, Xichuan will not set off a big storm." I was worried that someone would take advantage of the Black Stone Cave incident to make the Miao people's 72 caves unstable, but now that you have made friends with the Great Miao King, the Black Stone Cave has also turned into a safe place, then the Miao people can live in peace, and the stone in my heart will also land. ”

Qi Ning thought that Xichuan's trouble may not be only Li Hongxin, this trip to Xichuan is full of suspicions, whether it is the beggar gang or Hua Xiangrong, or even the bronze general, acting sneakily, there must be a great conspiracy hidden behind it, but Qi Ning himself has not completely sorted out the clue, and he also knows that Longtai is most concerned about Li Hongxin and Miao Ren Seventy-two Caves, as long as these two forces do not make trouble, Longtai will be able to feel at ease, and there is no need for him to tell it all at this time.

"You have worked hard all the way, and before you return home, I will not leave you to eat in the palace." Longtai said: "Let's go back and see my family first, yes, I have been promoted to listen to the government, and a few days ago I just issued a decree to crown Zhongyi Hou as the Duke of Zhenguo, and his eldest son Sima Changshen inherited the title of Zhongyi Hou. He snorted coldly and said, "The Sima family is now infinitely beautiful. ”

Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking that in this way, the Sima clan would have a duke and a marquis, which was really glorious.

"The emperor added the title of Sima Lan, and there was no reaction from the king of Huainan?" Qi Ning asked in a low voice.

Longtai said: "After you left Beijing, every day I went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, she either mentioned that the Sima family should be sealed, or asked me to let Sima Yunqiong enter the palace." His face became a little cold: "I don't get tired of it, I can only on the first day of ascending to the dynasty, I can simply crown Sima Lan as the prince of Zhenguo, so that the queen mother can't force me to let Sima Yunqiong enter the palace immediately." I took a step back, and she couldn't be aggressive. ”

Qi Ning looked at it in his eyes, knowing that Longtai was becoming more and more disgusted with the Queen Mother, thinking that this harem was in politics, no wonder the little emperor was dissatisfied, knowing that if it continued to develop like this, the rift between Longtai and the Sima family would be bigger and bigger, but fortunately, the little emperor was young and old, and he just vented his dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother and the Sima family in front of himself, but he was deeply annoyed externally.

"Your Majesty, when you ascend the throne and govern the government, sooner or later you will have to move into the harem." Although Qi Ning knows the affairs of the royal family, as a courtier, he can't easily interfere, but he has a very good relationship with the little emperor, if he says a few more words at this time, the little emperor will not only not blame, but will feel more cordial, and said in a low voice: "I said last time that I want to go to Dongqi to ask for relatives, has the emperor made up his mind." ”

Longtai beckoned and motioned for Qi Ning to come closer, and then lowered his voice and said: "After we discussed this matter last time, I didn't let others know, Qi Ning, I am going to mention this matter in public at the court meeting, I don't know if it's appropriate?" ”

"Mentioned at the court?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "The emperor has already made up his mind? ”

Long Tai bowed his head and said: "If you discuss with the Queen Mother first, the Queen Mother will definitely obstruct Sima Yunqiong in many ways in order to let Sima Yunqiong enter the palace, and things will not be easy to handle at that time." I promised at the court meeting that I would turn this matter into a reality, and the Son of Heaven would not be able to repent at that time. And the thoughts of the King of Huainan's gang, I also understand, Sima Lan added the title of the Duke of Zhenguo, Sima Changshen became a loyal and righteous candidate, the King of Huainan must be very dissatisfied in his heart, at the court meeting before, the King of Huainan did not seem to react, but I knew that he must be unusually dissatisfied with Sima Lan in his heart. ”

"The emperor is saying that now the Sima family is infinitely beautiful, and many people are jealous in their hearts, if Sima Yunqiong enters the palace again, there will definitely be people who oppose it?" Qi Ning laughed in a low voice: "King Huainan categorically doesn't want to see the Sima family's power expand so rapidly, yes, the emperor, the queen mother wants Sima Yunqiong to enter the palace, does King Huainan know about this?" ”

Long Tai smiled strangely and said softly: "I didn't know about it, but now that I know, I secretly let people go out, and said that the Queen Mother was going to let me make Sima Yunqiong the queen, and King Huainan was already very clear about this matter." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said softly: "If the King of Huainan knows about this, of course he will try his best to stop it, and if the emperor proposes to ask Dongqi for marriage at the court meeting, the King of Huainan will definitely strongly approve." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Long Tai said with a smile: "As long as I don't marry Sima Yunqiong, no matter who enters the palace, King Huainan will try his best to approve it, so I will ask people to bring it up at the court meeting tomorrow, and settle this matter in front of hundreds of officials, and the Queen Mother will not stop it at that time." ”

Qi Ning gave a thumbs up and said, "The emperor is strategizing, and he is really clever." ”

"By the way, you have to prepare yourself." Long Tai said: "Since Zhao Bangyao has been on this excerpt, tomorrow he will be above the court meeting, he is only afraid that he will attack you with this." ”

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for the emperor's reminder, I know it in my heart." He coughed before he said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, please show the emperor." ”

"What's the matter?"

"My trip to Xichuan cost a lot of money before and after." Qi Ning said seriously: "I don't know if these expenses will be reimbursed by the household department, or if the emperor will approve them for me here?" Of course, in addition to the expenses, the emperor is wise and martial, and there are still some rewards, and there is no need for more, just get a few hundred taels of gold as a reward. ”

Long Tai stood up straight, sat down behind the imperial desk, raised his hand and said, "You stand down first, I still have a piece to see here." He picked up a notebook, looked down and read it, ignoring Qi Ning.

Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, you are not only letting the horses run, but also not letting the horses graze." The Jingle of the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion is poor, and this time the expenses are still pieced together, do you ...... You can't be so uninteresting. ”

Longtai glanced at Qi Ning and said, "I gave you the opportunity to make a career and make you stand out in Xichuan, and you still dare to settle accounts with me?" Don't take it seriously if you don't know, a few rich children in Hangzhou gave you a lot of gifts a while ago, and you got some silver money from Dou Lianzhong, which is not a small amount. He simply dropped the fold in his hand, and said with a smile: "There is also Jiang Suiyun, the director of the Ministry of Rites, you have a gambling contract with him above the Jinghua Book Club, and you won him 10,000 taels of silver, why, these are not silver, and you dare to cry poor in front of me?" Be careful, let people sue you for corruption and bribery. ”

Qi Ning was dumbfounded and said, "These ...... Do these emperors know? ”

"Jinyihou, you are getting silver outside, I just turn a blind eye, don't think I don't know." Long Tai stared at Qi Ning and smiled: "When you are a friend, between friends, don't mention any silver, so as not to hurt the harmony." Seeing that Qi Ning was depressed, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know that you have worked hard this time, I will not let you work hard in vain, and I will always give you a chance to take the silver." ”

Qi Ning was helpless, thinking that it seemed that he had really met a stingy emperor who was a dime a dime.
