Ziqi had to breathe in a low voice, "Okay, I don't dare to talk about you, come on!" ”

Ziying just now had a sunny day after the rain, and happily lay on his back. After not taking a few steps, Zi Qi felt a pain in his neck, and when he looked back, Zi Ying was pulling out the hosta and poking his neck. Seeing Zi Qi grinning in pain, Zi Ying immediately smiled.

Ziqi was speechless, and carried her to her Shangrong Mansion until he put her down gently. Just as he was about to step forward to call the door, Shang Qingjun actually walked out of the door. Seeing him stunned, he blurted out, "Ziqi, why are you here?" ”

After speaking, he immediately regretted it, blushed and said, "I should call you Your Highness!" ”

Ziqi smiled and said: "What do you want to call it, you call me by name, I listen to it more pleasantly!" Ziying snorted lightly, "Don't listen to his rhetoric, he will only please girls!" ”

Shang Qingjun noticed her and was startled, "Little princess, why are you here?" Come on in! Ziying pointed to Ziqi, "Brother Siwang came behind me!" ”

Let them go to the hall, Shang Qingjun personally made tea for them, and then sat down with them and asked, "Why did the two highnesses think that I came here?" ”

Ziqi took out the bamboo slip and put it on the table and said: "I promised you, I will do this for you when I come back from the Northern Expedition, how can I be dishonest?" ”

Ziying immediately shouted next to him: "Qingjun, be careful, he's currying favor with you!" ”

Shang Qingjun immediately blushed and his heart beat, Ziqi was depressed, and glared at Ziying: "Grandma, can you talk less?" Do you want me to take you out next time? ”

Ziying immediately shut up and leaned towards him, quite flattering.

Ziqi secretly screamed in his heart, "I won't take you with me next time I kill you!" ”

Shang Qingjun picked up the wolf hair and bamboo sticks and asked, "What is this for?" Ziqi patted his head, "Oops, how did I forget about the stubble of ink?" After thinking about it, he asked, "Qingjun, do you have cyan dye in your house?" Shang Qingjun nodded.

Ziqi hurriedly poured out the tea in the pottery dish, handed it to her and said, "Bring some, when you mix the water, it will be stronger!" Shang Qingjun hurriedly took it and went to the back.

Ziying frowned at Ziqi and asked, "Brother Siwang, do you like Qingjun?" Ziqi glared, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people to hear it!" Ziying grinned, sat down and stopped talking.

Shang Qingjun came back and put the pottery on the table and asked, "What do you want these for?" ”

Ziqi picked up the wolf hair and dipped it in the dye, and then took the pen holder to the bamboo skewer to put down the pen. Suddenly it stopped again. I thought, "What am I writing, I can't write oracle bones, can I write small letters?" Don't get in trouble. ”

He smiled embarrassedly, "Qingjun, I can't write, you come, just take it like me!" ”

Shang Qingjun took it and held the pen like a child, thought about it, took a piece of tortoise shell in his left hand, and wrote a few words on the bamboo slip according to the above. Although it is still a little uncomfortable, the handwriting on the bamboo skewer is clear and the writing is very convenient.

Ziying also stretched her neck to look.

Ziqi asked proudly, "How is it?" It's much more convenient than tortoiseshell lettering, right? ”

Shang Qingjun said in surprise: "This is so easy to use, it is convenient and flexible, and it is also easy to keep, how did you come up with it?" ”

Ziqi began to talk nonsense and said, "Didn't I tell you? It was Grandma Yamagami who taught me. You say that if this is sold in the market, it will be very valuable? ”

After he finished speaking, he eagerly waited for Shang Qingjun's reply, and couldn't stop YY in his heart, "General Meng Tian, I'm sorry, I robbed you of your patent!" ”

Shang Qingjun nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, this thing is on the market, the key is that no one has ever seen it, and it is not too much to say that it is priceless!" What's this thing called? ”

Ziqi rolled his eyes and said: "This is called bamboo slips, and the one you are holding is called a brush, how about we do business together?" I'm in charge of the production, and you're in charge of the selling. I'll buy a shop in the market, and you'll take care of it for me. You see that Lord Shang is an honest official, how about I give you fifty percent? It's also a lot of money. ”

Shang Qingjun looked shy, "Isn't this okay?" These are all you come up with, how can I divide your money. ”

Ziqi smiled: "What is this, this is called cooperation." I don't know how to do business, and I can't keep myself busy, so let's do it. I'll come back to you when I buy the shop. ”

With that, he stood up and led Ziying to say goodbye.

Shang Qingjun sent them outside the courtyard, and when he saw them gradually walking away, he hurriedly ran back to the house, holding the bamboo slip and the wolf couldn't put it down.

Zi Qi pulled Zi Ying to just turn the corner, and met Wu Hai on the street to show off his might, and the horse's hooves trampled over a large basket full of white noodles, and the white noodles were scattered all over the ground.

Zi Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up Zi Ying, Wu Hai laughed in the carriage, the carriage drove away, Zi Ying pursed her lips and scolded: "This Wu Hai is really damned!" ”

The old man who sold noodles hurriedly collected the white noodles from the ground one by one, when suddenly a gust of wind blew and blew the flour clean. The old man sat on the ground and cried. The people around him laughed, "Lu Shang, you're really useless, you lost it again, right?" ”

Zi Qi put down Zi Ying, Zi Ying pouted, "You carry me!" ”

Ziqi had no choice but to pick her up again and walk more than a mile. Suddenly, there was a shock in my heart, "Lu Shang? Isn't it Jiang Ziya? It turned out to be this old guy! Hurriedly ran back with Ziying on her back, Ziying shouted behind her back, "Brother Siwang, what are you doing back?" ”

When Zi Qi ran back to his place, the old man had long since disappeared, so he had no choice but to carry Ziying back to the royal city.

As soon as the two of them entered the palace gate, they met Tu Chang head-on. Ziqi hurriedly greeted Ziying and put Ziying on the ground and said, "Trouble the chamberlain, take the little princess back to the palace!" ”

Tu Chang immediately smiled, "Little Ancestor, you're back, and I'm about to look for you." ”

Ziying ignored them, turned around and ran.

ran out of the old distance and turned around and shouted: "Ziji, you wait." If you have good things, you don't know how to honor your father first, and you know how to please other girls! I told my father to go! ”

Ziqi was stunned for a moment, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the palace gate.

Tu Chang hurriedly chased after Ziying.

Zi Qi thought as he walked, "Ziying reminded herself that this novel thing really has to be presented to the king first, and she was negligent." ”

When he returned to Haocheng Palace, Ziqi immediately found Wu Du and instructed: "Uncle Wu, you go to the market to buy a shop in a while, you can't be busy with the affairs of the mansion alone, just buy a few more male servants, be honest and honest, you usually take care of things." Come with me to the back house and get two pieces of jade to exchange for money. ”

Wu Du hurriedly said: "I still have so much, I don't need to exchange it for the time being." It doesn't cost much to buy a shop and a servant. ”

Ziqi nodded, "That's okay, if there are expenses in the future, and the money is not enough, just go to the back house and find Xian Nong directly." Wu Du hurriedly agreed to go out.

Ziqi found Li Jiao again, "Brother, you take people out to go around the city to see where there is bamboo, cut down more and bring it back." Fill the back warehouse, if there are no four fields, go to the market to buy, the more the better. ”

Li Jiao answered and hurriedly went to find someone.

The child thought to himself, this kind of bamboo slip wolf is actually not technical, and others will be able to see it. If you look at making money, there is no reason for others not to do it. Take advantage of the cold to make a lot of money, if you wait until you can do it, it will be worthless.

He got the right idea and immediately returned to the back house, and saw that several girls had already finished the bamboo slips.

Looking at the rolls of bamboo slips, the sub-period was full of joy. He said to the woman, "Go out tomorrow morning and hire ten more women in the bazaar to do the work you just did." You don't have to save commissions, you need to be ingenious. ”

Nu Jiang hurriedly agreed, "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't forget!" ”

Ziqi nodded, "You guys keep playing, I'll go to sleep, I'm so tired!" ”

Wei Ziqi has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and he feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the crown prince. On this day, he got up very early, and said to his son Zijiao after breakfast: "Don't go around today, accompany me to visit Lord Taizhu for a while, and you should also take care of the affairs of the royal court." ”

Zi Ji was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Weizi ordered the rubber to prepare the carriage and horses to rush to the Taizhu Mansion, which is located in the southwest of the inner city. The courtyard of the three entrances, with a garden at the back, is more luxurious than the average royal mansion.

In the Yin Shang era, due to Shang Tang's advocacy of "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to Shang", the superstition of the subjects and even the royal family to the gods reached its peak, and it also created the supremacy of the priesthood, and in the middle and late Shang Dynasty, their power even surpassed the royal power.

Although King Wuyi/Ziqu used the method of "Wuyi shooting the sky" to curb the authority of some clergy. However, their foundations have not been shaken completely. Therefore, from the mansion to the luxury of food and clothing, you can see their arrogance.

Hearing the report of the servant, Taizhu heard that Wei Ziqi was visiting, and immediately took his son Wuhai to welcome him outside the gate.

Taizhu looked flattered and pretended to be very realistic, but he was very proud in his heart, and pulled Wei Ziqi into the hall of the middle hall.

Wu Hai and Zi Ji looked at each other and smiled, and followed behind the two of them with their shoulders hooked. As the saying goes, people gather by like, and things by groups. The two usually fool around together, they are both bullying and arrogant "second generation officials", and they are quite close together.

Everyone sat down, and two young and beautiful slave girls offered fragrant tea to them, and stood behind Taizhu. Zi Ji looked at the two delicate and seductive female slaves, and her saliva almost didn't come out.

Tai Zhu asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness Ziqi is not in the royal court to help the king govern, why do you remember to give up?" It won't just be to beg the courtiers for a cup of fragrant tea, right? ”

Wei Ziqi smiled awkwardly, "Lord Taizhu said that he was joking, this time is not that time." Now, my father doesn't need me anymore, and I haven't been in the inner palace for more than a year to help my father govern. ”

Tai Zhu twisted his beard and smiled, all of this is something that the Manchao knows, how can Tai Zhu not know.

Taizhu sat precariously and looked at Wei Ziqi's expression.

Wei Ziqi looked at Taizhu with a smile on his face, "Lord Taizhu, the day before yesterday, I didn't know anything about the royal court. I haven't had time to ask the adults yet, so I came to the door today and asked the Lord Taizhu for some advice. ”

Tai Zhu hurriedly asked, "I don't know which one His Royal Highness Ziqi is talking about?" ”

Wei Ziqi looked at the two female slaves behind him, Taizhu turned around and waved his hand to them, and the two female slaves retreated in amusement and closed the door.

Wei Ziqi continued: "My father wants to add the title of the prince to the Janissary Guard, and the two uncles of Jizi Bigan have also spoken out to stop it, if Lord Taizhu also opposes it, my father may not insist." However, Lord Taizhu said that according to the old calendar, the royal court was selected for martial arts, isn't this giving him a chance? ”

Taizhu looked at Wei Ziqi with a smile, and was silent.

Wei Ziqi was anxious, but he had to be patient and said: "Lord Taizhu doesn't know that Ziqi and Zishou are very close. His biological mother is from the Dongyi tribe, and I am not worried that my father will give the crown prince to the son. He just had this mind, and he didn't have this opportunity.

However, once he became the Janissary Division, the situation was different. Even if my father gives me the throne, and he leads his troops to watch the king's court, can I still sleep?

Besides, my father has been reluctant to establish a prince for a long time, and you also know his body, if once the prince is not established, the son will support the army and support the son to inherit the throne, and we people will be slaughtered. ”

Taizhu heard Wei Ziqi say a lot, and waved his hand, "His Royal Highness Ziqi is a little calm, don't be impatient, don't I know what you said?" May I ask Your Highness, who is the first warrior in my Great Shang Dynasty and the opposition? ”

Wei Ziqi didn't think about it at all, and opened his mouth to come, "Of course it's Zi Shou!" ”

Taizhu asked again: "What about the son?" ”

Wei Ziqi thought for a while: "Fei Lian's son is the second. ”

Taizhu continued to ask: "What about the evil?" ”

Wei Ziqi looked at Zi Ji beside him, "That's my son Ji!" ”

Taizhu nodded, "Zi Shou values the position of the crown prince, how can he participate in the battle for the Janissary Guard?" Besides, it is impossible for him to fight with the child; Evil came from slavery, if it weren't for the son, his father and son were still working as cattle and horses, would he be qualified to participate? Except for these two people, who can beat Zijiao? ”

Taizhu looked at Wei Ziqi indifferently, saw that he was silent, and continued: "It is the next policy to dissuade the king from sealing Ziqi, even if the king approves my advice, Ziqi can't be the guard inspector, but he is still in the court, and he is still Zishou's right-hand man." However, the royal court competition is different, the sword has no eyes, what if he is killed by mistake? ”

"You mean to take the opportunity of the tournament to get rid of the sub-period?" Wei Ziqi leaned over and asked.

Taizhu nodded calmly, "This is the best way, Ziji is the son of the king, but Ziji is the eldest grandson of the king, I don't think the king will condemn Ziji for the sake of Ziji, right?" What's more, it is not surprising that there have always been accidental injuries in the royal court's martial arts competitions! ”

Wei Ziqi asked hesitantly, "Lord Taizhu, there is no other way besides?" ”

Taizhu said proudly: "Of course, when the king sent Ziqi to Xiqi, you gave me a look, I understand what you mean." But I'm not against it, don't you think it's a great opportunity?

We can expel a group of dead soldiers and disguise themselves as Xiqi people. When Ziqi arrives in Xiqi, ambush and kill him to blame Xiqi, and Ziqi doesn't know who killed him when he dies, wouldn't it be better? ”

Wei Ziqi Lao blushed, and said hesitantly: "Lord Taizhu, this, this may not work." I sent someone to ambush him outside Qishui Pass once, but unfortunately he escaped. If it weren't for the quick shot, he would have been caught alive. ”

"When?" Tai Zhu asked hurriedly.

Wei Ziqi said in disappointment: "It is the time when the Northern Expedition returns to the dynasty." ”

Taizhu stared at Wei Ziqi, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he secretly slandered in his heart, "Although Wei Ziqi is extremely ambitious and ruthless enough, only a string is missing from his head." actually got the ambush and murder at the door of his own house, but fortunately, he was not caught alive, so he did not give up his efforts. ”

Taizhu sighed and said, "It seems that Your Highness still can't trust me, if there is no matter today, I'm afraid Your Highness will not let me know about this matter!" ”

Wei Ziqi smiled awkwardly, "I wish the adult is serious, how can I not trust the adult." I thought that it would not be easy to deal with a dozen people, but I never thought that there were more than 20 hunters around him. ”

Taizhu didn't want to worry too much about him, and said: "In this way, it will definitely startle the snake." On the trip to Xiqi, he must be careful of precautions, let's not take risks. After that, he turned back to his son and said, "Wu Hai, go and bring the Shenque Sword!" ”
