"Lord Yan is here, and the old man is polite." Xu Jie gave Yan Qing an arch.

Yan Qing hurriedly returned the salute, and his mouth kept talking: "The old pavilion has been tormented by the officials, and I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I am too busy...... The old man is still used to living, right? ”

"It's okay, the food is good, the clothes are good, the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet."

"If there is anything missing, let the subordinate tell the subordinate that the subordinate has no other ability, and this little thing can still help."

"Thank you, Lord Yan...... Look at the old man, he is really old and confused, walking around, talking in the house. ”

Letting Yan Qing into the house, and saying something unnutritious, Xu Jie took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Lord Yan is busy with official business, in addition to visiting the old man, there should be other purposes, right?" ”

"Uh, look at what you said, sir, what is the purpose of the lower officials?"

Xu Jie secretly sneered and said: "Okay, let's open the skylight and say something bright, I'm a bad old man who is about to enter the ground, and I don't eat a piece of meat for dogs, if it weren't for a little bit of use, I'm afraid Lord Yan wouldn't be able to enter this door, right?" ”

Old fox.

Yan Qing said with a smile: "How come? You are our old-timer, and although you made a little mistake this time, you can't erase your merits...... There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure......"

"Okay, don't be a sycophant," Xu Jie really didn't want to go around in circles, and interrupted Yan Qing a little impatiently: "It's very simple to get my support, go back and tell Zhang Puzhou, as long as he finds a way to let me meet His Majesty alone, I will immediately write a letter and let all my people be loyal to him. ”

Yan Qing was not surprised at all that Xu Jie guessed his purpose, officialdom has been mixed with old fritters for most of his life, if he can't even guess this, then it's unusual.

He laughed and said, "Okay, it's better for the boss to be happy, and the next official will tell Lord Shoufu about your conditions when he turns around." ”

"Also, strengthen the defense here, I'm afraid that if I fall asleep one night, I won't be able to open my eyes the next day."

"No problem, do you have any other requirements?" Yan Qing asked, but there was a little bit in his heart.

Xu Jie shook his head: "That's all." ”

"Okay, the next official will stay soon, so I'll go back and tell Lord Shousuke." Now that the words are clear, Yan Qing no longer does anything superficial, and directly gets up and leaves.

After going out, he didn't go anywhere, he rushed straight to the Shoufu Mansion, and after seeing Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei was still strange: "Why did you come back so soon?" Did Xu Huating agree? ”

"Agreed, in the end, it was an old fox, I hadn't even said that he had already guessed my purpose, and set two conditions, first, let him and His Majesty meet alone, and second, strengthen defense......"

"Fortify your defenses?" Zhang Siwei frowned: "Could it be that he still holds a deadly secret?" ”

"I think so too, and I guess that's why he's in a hurry to see the driver."

"What the hell is the secret?"

Yan Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This kind of old fox, if you want to say something, you will naturally say it, and if you don't want to say it, you want to put on a half-mouth." ”

Zhang Siwei nodded: "Didn't you ask for stronger defense, just to insert our people* in...... You say, will the secret be related to Zhang You? Don't forget, the people in charge of guarding now are all people selected from the Jinyi Guard and the Four Guards Battalion. ”

Yan Qing's eyes lit up: "Don't say it, it's really impossible." I have a suggestion, Lord Shoufu, why don't you tell Your Majesty directly, Xu Ge Lao suspects that someone is going to do bad to him, and asks for more defense, Your Majesty's curiosity is aroused, and he will definitely meet him, so kill two birds with one stone, and everything will be done for him. ”

"Well, it's a good idea, I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Li Caifeng lay down early, but after a daze, he was inexplicably energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy after tossing for a long time, so he simply got out of bed in his clothes and walked back and forth in the warm pavilion in the dark.

The bell rang eleven, and it was the height of summer, and the ice basin in the room did not seem to be very cool.

She had been standing at the window for a long time, and when she heard the bell, she was about to lie back on the bed, when she suddenly found that Li Wen had entered and exited the side hall from the window, and was talking to a little eunuch, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and shouted loudly.

Li Wenjin heard the shouting, left the little eunuch and hurried up to the Danqi, and entered the warm pavilion without much effort.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Li Caifeng said: "Wake up, why didn't you sleep so late?" ”

"Didn't you just wake up?" Li Wenjin smiled bitterly.

Li Caifeng asked, "Did something happen?" ”

Li Wenjin said: "It's really a little, Yan Qing went to see Xu Jie's at night, and the people who arranged it overheard their conversation, and Lao Xu was ready to give the remaining strength under his hand to Zhang Puzhou, in exchange for Zhang Puzhou's help, hoping to meet His Majesty alone." ”

"Oh? He seems to have mentioned this several times, right? Isn't it a plea? Li Caifeng's good-looking eyebrows shrugged slightly.

Li Wenjin did not answer her question, but said: "He also has a request, he hopes that Zhang Puzhou will strengthen his defense there, and he is afraid that he will never be able to open his eyes again if he sleeps." ”

"How could he have such an idea?" Li Caifeng became more and more puzzled: "In his current situation, the emperor spared his dog's life, who would assassinate him?" ”

"I'm wondering unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless he has some secrets, and it should be related to Zicheng, in this way, it makes sense to be in a hurry to see Your Majesty. Only, what could be the secret? That day in Chaoyangmen, he didn't say a lot of bad things about Zicheng, if it was an ordinary secret, he wouldn't hurt Zicheng at all. ”

Li Caifeng frowned and was silent, pacing back and forth for two steps, and then suddenly asked, "Has anyone else been to see him in the past few days?" ”

"It's Taiyue who went to see him once."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, listening to the reply of the next person, it's just that Donglaxi has been talking for most of the day...... Oh, by the way, Lao Xu is quite envious of Taiyue, praising him for raising a good son, not to mention that he is handsome, and looks like his mother. ”

Hearing this, Li Caifeng sighed in his heart, and his face changed greatly: "Did he really say that?" ”

Li Wenjin asked strangely: "Yes, what's wrong?" Don't say it, Zicheng is really like a child. ”

"yes, it does." Li Caifeng: "But it's not like Taiyue." ”

"It's okay, although it doesn't look particularly similar, but the temperament is a little similar...... Is there something wrong with that? ”

"It's not right, it's just too ...... Let me tell you the truth, Zicheng is actually not Taiyue's son at all, but the blood of the first emperor. ”

"What did you say?" Li Wenjin was stunned, and then his face changed greatly: "Oops, Xu Huating is going to tell His Majesty this secret, right?" ”

"Otherwise, what do you think he is doing in a hurry to see the emperor? What a vicious mind...... You have to stop him from meeting with the emperor, if it doesn't work, just ......" As he spoke, Li Caifeng made a gesture of cutting off his head.
