Gao Shangzhi leaned on the head of the bed, in the brazier on the side, the charcoal fire was burning, Shi Jian stood in front of the window, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "My lord, Zhang Bao has begun to plump up his wings, you say, what should we do next?" ”

"Zhang Bao's intentions are already very obvious, he wants to monopolize power and do whatever he wants! What we have to do is to sit back and wait for him to arouse the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and then act in the name of the Qing monarch. Gao Shangzhi said, thought about it, and said: "But before that, someone must contain Zhang Bao." ”

"The hundreds of officials are now all vying to be the first to tie up with Zhang Bao, and most of the newly replaced ministers are Zhang Bao's people! Who else can hold him back now? ”

"Yes!" Gao Shang Zhi said firmly: "Xihua Hou Mansion! ”

Shi Jian turned around, glanced at the noble, and said, "No matter how great Shi Min's ability is, he is still too tender after all!" I'm afraid it's not Zhang Bao's opponent! ”

"Nope! Your Highness, you underestimate Shi Min too much! Gao Shangzhi pulled the quilt and said: "Shi Min is thoughtful, and his methods are even more clever than Shi Zhan!" What's more, someone is giving him advice, why should His Highness worry? ”

Shi Jian nodded and said, "What the adults said also makes sense. ”

"What we have to do now is to let Shi Min and Zhang Bao fight, and when the opportunity is ripe, we will seize the throne!"

"You're right!" Shi Jian paced slowly in the room and said, "But there is another key question, have you thought of it, my lord?" ”

"What is the problem Your Highness is talking about?"

"Soldier power!" Shi Jian looked at Gao Shangzhi calmly and said, "If you want to succeed, I am afraid it will not be enough to rely on the men and horses of the patrol battalion alone!" ”

Gao Shangzhi sighed and said: "Previously, since Zhang Bao has already suspected His Highness, if you want to do anything more in the future, I'm afraid Zhang Bao will be wary everywhere!" Seeking military power is easier said than done! ”

Shi Jian shook his head and said, "My lord, in my opinion, we have fallen into a misunderstanding!" ”

"What misunderstanding?"

"In the past, when the second child and the old nine were fighting, we thought that the snipe and the clam were competing for the fisherman's profit, and now the second child's throne has been settled, if there is a conflict between the Xihua Marquis Mansion and Zhang Bao, they are not fighting for the throne, but for the throne. This time is different from the past, so Ning Wangfu can no longer sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"My lord thinks that Zhang Bao and Shi Min are better controlled?"

"Naturally, it's Shi Min!" Gao Shangzhi said without hesitation.

"I think so too! Instead of going to great lengths to seek military power, it is better to use ready-made! Shi Jian sat next to the brazier and said while roasting the fire: "King Ning's Mansion should be the same as Xihuahou Mansion!" ”

"What His Highness means, the old minister understands! But for now, the relationship between Zhang Bao and Shi Min is quite harmonious, and it has not reached the point of turning faces! ”

"Your Excellency, look at it! It's a matter of time before they turn their faces! What Shi Min wants is the overly ideal Guotai and civil security, and what Zhang Bao wants is to be arbitrary and call for wind and rain, these two people are now in high positions, but their views on rights are completely opposite, so the contradiction between them will erupt, it is inevitable! When they have a conflict, it is the time for Ning Wangfu and Xihua Hou Mansion to make friends. ”

"But I don't know when or what month will your great affairs be ......accomplished, Your Highness," Gao Shangzhi sighed and said, "I hope the old minister can see that day!" ”

"It's coming! Don't worry, my lord! None of this is too far away! Shi Jian said, smiled weirdly, and asked, "My lord, do you know what is the purpose of the second child's visit to Qiankun Temple this time?" ”

"Didn't you say to pray for the first emperor?"

"Humph!" Shi Jian sneered and said, "Pray for blessings? He killed the old immortal with his own hands, how could he pray for the blessing of the old thing? ”

Gao Shangzhi was a little stunned and said, "Your Highness, where did you get the news?" ”

"Zhang Bao doesn't even know about this! Shi Min already knew it, but he chose to be silent! Because he wants the second child to be a good emperor! Shi Jian smiled and said, "There is one more thing, you don't know, my lord. ”

"What?"

"The dick may be crazy! This time, he went to the Qiankun Temple on Wolong Mountain, called praying for blessings, but he actually went to recuperate quietly! ”

"Crazy?" The more noble he listened, the more confused he became.

"That's right! I guess that the second child has been on death row in Dali Temple for so long, and it is very likely that he will be driven crazy, otherwise he will rely on him, how can he have the courage to kill the old immortal? ”

"Your Highness, are you sure the news that he killed the first emperor is true?"

"That's right! Shi Min secretly asked people to check the cause of the old thing's death and confirmed that he was strangled to death! And the person responsible for investigating the cause of death is the original Taiyi Zhang Taiyi Hall, this old guy has returned to his hometown since the death of the first emperor! If you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you leave suddenly? ”

Hearing this series of news, Gao Shangzhi was stunned, he didn't expect that so many things had happened in such a few days in prison.

"The old minister remembered, it turned out that His Royal Highness said that he had an important secret in his hand, which could make Shi Min and His Majesty turn against each other, it turned out to be this ......" Gao Shangzhi said slowly.

"That's right!" Shi Jian smiled and said, "So sir, don't worry! Everything is fast! ”

......

Hearing that Shi Min was leaving, the originally comfortable Xihuahou Mansion was suddenly busy. Afraid that Shi Min would not eat well in the barracks, Li Ma and Gu's mother had to make some food for Shi Min to take away, Xu San was worried that Shi Min would not sleep well in the barracks, so he prepared several sets of bedding for Shi Min to take with him.

"Third Uncle Xu, it's not the first time I've gone out, what are you doing?" Shi Min said.

Xu San said while packing up his things: "I know the brothers in the barracks, they are very rough, and there are few careful ones, you are no more there than at home, I have to prepare some for you!" ”

"Alright, don't clean up! Don't take any of these things with you! Shi Min waved his hand and said.

Xu San was stunned for a moment and said, "Why? This ......"

"Okay, Xu San! Don't be busy! The barracks is not a place for people to enjoy themselves, this kid is now the commander of tens of thousands of people! How can you be spoiled like a child? Wang Shicheng said, looked at it, and said, "Are you marrying a daughter?" Prepare so many things as a dowry? ”

"You put it down for me!" Xu San's face was flushed, and he snatched the thing from Wang Shicheng's hand.

"Oh, Xu San! Don't that heart! Xiao Min was born a soldier, and it's not a big deal to suffer a little! Li Chang patted Xu San and said.

"Childe, this is your medicine!" Qin Wan's voice suddenly came, still so drizzly and gentle.

Shi Min looked up and saw that Qin Wan was in front of him, holding a bag in his hand, and said: "The medicine in this is enough for you to use until you recover, both internal and external use are inside, the black cloth wrapped is for external use, and the blue cloth is wrapped for internal use, remember that one pack of medicine and three bowls of water, when you boil one bowl of water, you can do it!" ”

"Thank you......" Shi Min was a little stunned and a little embarrassed.

"Come on, come on, leave it to me!" Wang Shicheng said and took the medicine.

Qin Wan handed the medicine to Wang Shicheng, glanced at Shi Min, and then turned to leave. At this time, Shi Xin also came with two maidservants carrying things.

When Shi Min saw it, his head was big, and before Shi Xin could speak, Shi Min said, "What are you trying to let me bring?" ”

Hearing Shi Min's tone, Shi Xin was a little unhappy and said, "I've been busy for a long time, take these clothes for you, take them!" And medicine! You didn't hurt well, I'm ready for you, both internal and external......"

"The medicine has already been brought, so the princess doesn't have to bother." Li Chang didn't know the current affairs and suddenly said a word.

"Got the medicine?" Shi Xin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who prepared it?" So thoughtful. ”

"Xu San cleaned it up!" Wang Shicheng hurriedly rounded the field and said, "Look at it, these bedding are also prepared by him!" I don't know, I think someone in Xihuahou Mansion is going to get married! ”

Shi Xin couldn't help laughing and said, "That's good, then you don't need to bring these medicines!" But these bedding really don't seem to need to be ......."
