Shi Hu nodded slightly, grabbed Liu Guifei's hand, and whispered: "Recently, I feel that I am old, although I still don't accept old age in my heart, I still want to cross the knife immediately and gallop across the field, but the fact is that I am really old, I don't eat as much as before, and I don't sleep so peacefully."

Liu Guifei hurriedly grabbed Shi Hu's hand with both hands and said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, where is he old?" ”

Shi Hu shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly: "I know very well in my heart, but the matter of establishing a reserve really cannot be delayed any longer, and it must be decided as soon as possible." ”

Liu Guifei didn't speak, just lowered her head.

"Do you have any opinions?" Shi Hu asked.

"The concubine is just a harem woman, what can she think? The concubine just felt that the person chosen by His Majesty, even if he could not have such eloquence as His Majesty, should at least be a wise and decisive person, and in addition, he should be very filial to His Majesty, the so-called filial piety first. Liu Guifei whispered.

"When did you start talking to King Qing?" Shi Hu asked with squinted eyes.

Liu Guifei was a little weak by Shi Hu's words, and hurriedly said: "These are the views of the concubines, Your Majesty asked the concubines, and the concubines said the truth, but the concubines didn't help anyone." ”

"I just said casually, what are you doing so nervous?" Shi Hu glanced at Liu Guifei, then closed his eyes, sighed and said: "A few years ago, many ministers have written to me, saying that they want to settle the matter of the storage position as soon as possible, and then they have brought out a lot of bullshit for me!" What to say about the foundation of the country! I have a headache when I see it. ”

"Your Majesty's sons are very good, and it is indeed difficult to choose for a while. I wonder if these ministers have recommended any of His Royal Highnesses as the crown prince? ”

"How is it possible not to be promoted? The main thing is to concentrate on King Yan and King Qing, the advantages and disadvantages of these two people are very obvious, and what the ministers say is very reasonable, I really don't know how to choose for a while. ”

Liu Guifei just wanted to speak, but Shi Hu said again: "Okay, don't talk about it, I'm very tired, I have to sleep for a while." ”

Concubine Liu Guifei said helplessly: "Then Your Majesty has a good rest, and the concubines will not be disturbed." ”

"Hmm!" Shi Hu closed his eyes and nodded casually.

The sun had risen to a high level, and Shi Jian was sitting alone in the courtyard drinking tea, when suddenly a person appeared behind Shi Jian, knelt down and said, "Meet Your Highness." ”

"Why are you here? What about the Prime Minister? ”

The person who came was the third child, and the third brother hugged his fists and said to Shi Jian: "Back to His Royal Highness, there are suddenly a few strangers outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister estimates that someone is secretly monitoring the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is inconvenient to pass the news to His Highness, so he sent his subordinates." ”

"Someone watching? Who? Shi Jian was a little surprised,

The third child shook his head and said, "This is not clear for the time being, the Prime Minister suspects that it is someone from King Yan's side." ”

"Hehe, instead of talking about the people sent by King Yan, it's better to talk about the people from the Zhang Leopard faction directly." Shi Jian stood up and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Bao's reaction to be so fast, I really underestimated him, what about the Prime Minister?" What are you doing now? ”

"The Prime Minister is naturally still living with food, clothing, housing and transportation as usual, but he can't come to His Highness, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others, so please forgive Your Highness."

"It's okay, you came here today just to tell this king?" Shi Hu looked at the third child who was kneeling on one knee and asked.

The third child shook his head and said, "My subordinates have other important things to report, and not long after His Highness left last night, that person was recruited, and everything is on this piece of paper."

Shi Jian stretched out his hand, and the third child consciously handed the densely written paper to Shi Jian, and said, "Your Highness, please take a look." ”

Shi Jian looked at the contents of the paper carefully, and said with a smile while reading: "Lao Jiu is really a dog who can't change his eating, and he always likes to use such means to be smart." ”

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister asked his subordinates to ask His Highness, do you want to do the few people who are monitoring outside the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Shi Jian put down the confession in his hand, shook his hand, and said: "No need, Zhang Bao wants to monitor, just let him watch it slowly there, if you kill those bedbugs now, it is equivalent to telling him that there is something wrong with the prime minister, but in the future, your actions will be more secretive, and they must not find out about your existence." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, these people will not be able to discover anything."

Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How is that assassin now?" ”

"After seeing his son yesterday, he immediately softened, and after confessing, his subordinates immediately treated his injuries, he couldn't die, and his kung fu could be restored, and he now wanted to kill King Qing to take revenge."

"This is a good thing, tell the prime minister that now is the time to employ people, since this assassin has confessed and hates Lao Jiu so much, then leave him in the prime minister's mansion, and he can serve this king in the future."

"The prime minister asked his subordinates to ask His Highness, since he has obtained this confession, do you want to poke this matter out? In this way, King Qing will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Shi Zun smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, since there is already evidence to determine that Lao Jiu did it, then it is a matter of time before this confession appears in front of the old thing, it is not yet the time, kill Lao Jiu now, and the second child will sit firmly on the throne, how can this king still have this opportunity?" Wait a minute. ”

"My subordinates understand, does Your Highness have anything else to order? Subordinate to the next and conveyed. ”

"There is nothing else to do for the time being, contact Xianbei Murong Hao, let the prime minister hurry up and do it."

"Murong Hao's son Murong Jun will arrive in Yecheng in the near future, and the prime minister has already contacted him."

"Tell the prime minister that as long as the Murong clan helps the king ascend the throne, the land of Qilu will be theirs in the future, and with such conditions, I'm afraid that his Murong clan has no reason to refuse."

"My subordinates understand."

"Stand down." Shi Jian waved his hand, then sat back at the table and continued to drink tea, and after the third child got up, several figures crossed out of the courtyard of King Ning's mansion.

At this time, in the Yanwang Mansion, Shi Shizheng looked at Zhang Bao at a loss.

"Lord Zhang, how is the investigation of the assassin's affairs? How long will this king be trapped in the house? ”

"Back to Your Highness, the assassin is still investigating the matter, and there is no eyebrows for the time being, but I heard that the son of Xihuahou met a few men in black in an alley late at night last night, and he also fought with those people, and his subordinates think that those men in black are likely to be the ones who kidnapped the assassins."

Shi Shi suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and asked, "Have those black-clothed people been caught?" ”

"Nope."

"Then how do you know that those men in black may be the ones who kidnapped the Assassins?"

"Your Royal Highness should have heard of the son of Xihuahou, his bravery is not inferior to Xihuahou back then, the person who can escape from his hands is definitely not comparable to those local chickens and wooden dogs in the patrol camp, according to the news from the eyeliner of his subordinates, at that time, Shi Min saw with his own eyes that those people in black were still carrying a person, also dressed in black, I am afraid that there is no such coincidence in the world, right? That's why his subordinates speculated that the people who kidnapped the assassins were already in Yecheng. ”

"Have you found out who these people are assigned? As long as he can hand over the assassin to the king and clear his name, he will give as much gold and silver as he wants. ”

"The subordinates have not yet traced who instructed these people, but there are already suspects."

"Who?"

"The prime minister is noble."

"Prime Minister Gao? Mr. Zhang, are you mistaken? Master Gao is an old slippery head, who hesitates to do anything, how can he have the ability to command such a powerful master? ”

"Your Highness, although my subordinates have not found evidence, I always feel that this tall man is a little incomprehensible."

"Aren't you also suspicious of the things on Wolong Mountain? Why do you think that's what he did? ”

"Sending someone to assassinate Liu Guifei, the subordinates can conclude that it must have been done by King Qing, but the assassins were kidnapped, and the subordinates really couldn't think of anyone else."

"Tell me, why are you so suspicious?"

"Your Highness, you think, Lord Gao has sat firmly in the position of prime minister for so many years, and has never made any merits, but he has not made a single mistake, although His Majesty often looks down on him, but has never punished him once, isn't it strange?"

"Master Gao will collect beauties and gold and silver for his father every year, and he is naturally deeply loved by his father, and it is reasonable for his father not to punish him, is there anything wrong with it?"

"It's not that his subordinates think this is wrong, but he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he hasn't let people catch a little trick, and he can do things so well, which shows that he is meticulous and very incomparable."

"And what do you mean?"

"What does the subordinate mean, will this tall man have anything to do with the man in black who kidnapped the assassins, if it is really sent by the tall man to do it, then what is his purpose?"

"When you say this, it seems to have some truth, Prime Minister Gao is a little disdainful, but it seems that he really hasn't committed any tricks and has been caught."

"His subordinates have already sent people to monitor the surroundings of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if there is anything abnormal, His Highness will definitely know."

"Lord Zhang, this king is counting on you, although Liu Yuanzhi is sincerely in this king, he is still too young and vigorous, if he is sophisticated, he still has to be Lord Zhang." Shi Shi solemnly looked at Zhang Bao and said.
