readx;?readx;
There is indeed a talent in this world, and some people are particularly good at composing poetry, such as Luo Bingwang; Some people are particularly good at being carpenters, such as the public losing class; There are also people who are particularly good at fighting, such as Chen Qingzhi. www.biquge.info These people have created their own miracles in their respective fields, some can chant famous poems in open crotch pants, some can build air vehicles that can last thousands of miles more than a thousand years ago, and some have no power to tie chickens...... But as soon as he entered the battlefield, he immediately became a god-of-war figure, with seven or eight thousand people, he could fight millions of people, and he was outnumbered all his life, but he was invincible and invincible.
Looking at these awesome people, we have to admit that talent is not something that can be achieved by being diligent and willing to learn, so it is so important to figure out where your talent is and choose the right line......
Of course, there are also those who have entered the industry to find out. I'm really talented. For example, Qin Lei, it is said that with his bold character, it should be difficult to adapt to the treacherous political struggle, but he is unfamiliar with it, and people have to admit that this guy should be born to be a politician.
He sniffed out the smell of conspiracy from Gu Jun's description, which was an intuition that had saved him many times. Now, in the extremely dangerous Nan Chu, his entire mind has been mobilized, and his intuition has become extremely sharp.
"The prince is being used!" Instinctively, he said: "He has fallen into a trap, and before we act, we must find out what kind of trap it is, who is involved, and what their purpose is." In fact, Qin Lei already had a guess in his heart, but he still needed facts to verify his speculation.
The truth didn't make him wait too long, and only at night, Zhu Gui brought in a ragged beggar from outside.
Qin Lei didn't sleep, he had been waiting for this person to arrive. In the dim light, he saw the man's scarred face with hedgehog-like hair. Beneath the unkempt hair were a pair of firm and composed eyes.
This person is the commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, Qin Lei's old acquaintance Zhong Likan, a man with only nine fingers. The two of them were naturally embarrassed to see each other here, but now was not the time to sigh, after a simple greeting, Qin Lei asked unceremoniously: "Why are you here?" β
Zhong Likan has been doing things these days, and he knows it to Qin Lei briefly. It turned out that he escaped by luck before the ship sank, and relied on his family heirloom of breath-holding kung fu to sneak underwater for two or three miles, so that he escaped the sight of Nanchu's secret agents and went ashore in embarrassment to escape.
If ordinary people are near the end of life, they will be like a lost dog, fleeing as far as they can. But a man who can cut off his fingers without changing his face is obviously not an ordinary person. He first lurked in the fishing village, and when he recovered, he began to search for the whereabouts of the prince. It's not that he has a deep affection for the prince, but that he recognizes a dead reason - if a person is thrown from my hands, I must find him back.
With this stubbornness, finally half a month later, he bumped into a few Nanchu spies who committed murder that day. It's not that he has a good memory, it's that those people's outfits are too special...... Covered in white from head to toe, how can anyone not recognize it?
The silent tail followed, and he actually returned to the Shenjing City. In the end, he followed those people to a heavily guarded compound in the east of the city, and for fear of being discovered, he did not approach rashly, but disguised himself as a beggar and secretly monitored the neighborhood. Of course, I didn't forget to go to the post house every day to see if there were any domestic envoys.
Fortunately, the succession of the Chu State has entered a white heat, and everyone's attention is focused on the ring where the two princes fight each other, but no one notices a beggar who has a very regular activity.
After listening to his story, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Gu Jun said that this disaster was caused by the thousand-year-old ginseng that the prince gave to Emperor Chu, do you know who gave it to the prince?" β
"I didn't see that man either," Zhong Likan recalled: "The prince received a letter that day, and when he saw the letter, he hurried out with him, and then came to a mansion in Xicheng, and his subordinates went to call the door. But the people in the middle of the house only let the prince in. The lowly official refused to agree, but the prince insisted on entering, and we, the guards, had to wait at the door. When the prince came out the next day, he saw that he was refreshed, and the sorrow on his face that had been in place for many days was swept away, and he still had the thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand. β
"This idiot! He is also a big boss, why is he still so gullible to others? Qin Lei scolded softly: "How did he become an old man with that bullshit Seven Princes?" β
The corners of Zhong Likan's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said: "After the prince came back, under our questioning, he said that the man was his friend in the past, and because he couldn't bear to see him trapped in the shallows, he appeared to guide him. He said with a look of resentment: "According to the old friend of the crown prince, Emperor Chu has obtained a prescription that is said to be able to heal his dragon body, but it lacks a precious medicinal material...... It's this thousand-year-old ginseng. And the man searched for it in every way, and finally spent a lot of money to find one from the northern Xinjiang, thinking that he would be promoted to the capital, but when he saw that His Highness was in trouble, he offered it for the purpose of getting out of trouble. β
Qin Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My second brother is really naΓ―ve, and he was used as a gun this time." "Obviously, someone wanted Emperor Jingtai to die early, and somehow became the crown prince who murdered Emperor Chu's brother, but he was just another eagle shot by this arrow.
"Who in the Chu State now wants Emperor Jingtai to die the most?" Qin Lei asked himself and replied: "It should be the King of Qi Chu Feiyi, because this guy had some stories to tell with his father's little wife during his illness." β
"You know that?" Zhongli Kan's eyes widened.
Qin Lei smiled and said: "This is not surprising, you must know that the people of Southern Chu love to pass on gossip, especially peach news." ββ
Zhong Likan smiled bitterly: "It's just a rumor, how can you take it seriously?" β
Qin Lei shook his head and said: "Wrong, you must know that the three of them become tigers, as long as it reaches the ears of Emperor Jingtai, as long as he is still a man, he will definitely go crazy." Even if there is no real evidence, the balance in his heart will be tilted to the side of King Zhou. As he spoke, he snapped his fingers lightly and said, "And this matter can't be explained, so the best way for King Qi to deal with it is to put down Old Man Jingtai without showing his feet." β
Just listening to Qin Lei, he said as if he had seen it with his own eyes: "Why do you say that it must be him?" Because although the old man is sick, but after all, he is the emperor of a country, and usually there are only two results of killing the king, one is success and the other is failure......" Everyone was dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile in their hearts: 'Isn't this nonsense......
"If you succeed, you may not be able to take over, but if you fail, you must be able to take a break, so this is a high-risk, low-reward job, and no one will use it unless it is absolutely necessary." Qin Lei stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the table, and continued: "So only King Qi, who sees that the situation is not good, will do it, and King Zhou, who has the advantage, will not do it, and he will also prevent King Qi's people from poisoning." This made it more difficult for King Qi to make a move, after all, the two sides had been fighting for so many years, and they had already figured out the bust of the other party's aunt's wife! "Several henchmen in the house couldn't help but sweat profusely, and said in their hearts: 'The prince is really not elegant......
Seeing the strange eyes cast by his subordinates, Qin Lei laughed dryly and said: "That is to say, what shrimp soldiers and crab generals are on both sides, everyone is blind and eats dumplings, and they know it." So if you want to be unaware, you have to find an outsider who doesn't seem to have anything to do with it......"
Zhong Likan shook his head and said: "Although we are incompetent, we will not be so unremarkable, the accompanying imperial doctor has examined it, and the ginseng is genuine, and there is no problem." β
Qin Lei shook his head and chuckled: "The imperial doctor of the Chu State is not a fool, if there is a problem with that ginseng, how can it be taken to their emperor?" As he spoke, he slapped the table and said, "It's very likely that the problem is the prescription!" For Emperor Jingtai, it may be a dose of poison! β
Zhu Gui couldn't help but interject: "Just like you said, the imperial doctor of the Chu State should be able to check it, if the medicine itself is poisonous, how can it be given to the emperor?" β
"It's not unusual that there are things in the world that are tonics for normal people, but deadly poisons for some patients." Qin Lei explained softly: "So there are other murderers who murdered Emperor Jingtai, and our poor prince has become a poor scapegoat. β
Everyone looked at Qin Lei with admiration. It can be said that when they come to a hostile country with an undercurrent, it is like being in a fog, unable to find the east, west, north and south. Even if I have all the strength, I don't know how to exert myself.
But after the prince peeled off the cocoon, things suddenly became clear...... It's just an inference made with the help of a small amount of information, but there's a direction to work towards, right?
"I command!" I only heard the prince say lightly, his voice was soft but full of majesty.
Several henchmen in the room stood up at the same time, and arched their hands and said solemnly: "Listen to the prince's orders!" β
Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Zhu Gui ordered the Espionage Bureau to monitor the two mansions mentioned by Zhong Likan around the clock, and be sure to find out who is behind the scenes. β
"Shi Dang told Mr. Le to come and meet him quickly, and I will see him within three days."
"Zhong Likan," glancing at the head of the East Palace guard in front of him, Qin Lei smiled and said, "Go take a shower and have a meal, don't go out again." β
Zhong Likan was stunned and said, "Why is this? The lowly still wants to atone for his sins. β
Zhu Gui smiled and said, "Lord Zhongli, don't worry, the prince is protecting you." They've seen you come in, and if you go out again, you'll be arrested, so stay safe. Zhong Likan reluctantly went down, washing his face and eating.
In a magnificent mansion near the left side of the palace, the third son of Emperor Jingtai, the king of Qi Chu Feiyi, this guy is in his thirties, Mr. Yuan has a big and burly face, dignified appearance, not as weak as his other brothers, his grandfather is the former general of the Shangzhu State of Chu, highly respected in the military circles, and has a wide range of connections, and his mother was also named the imperial concubine, after the death of the queen, he is the de facto master of the harem.
This noble-born prince has been honed in the army with his uncle since he was a child, and he is proficient in the art of war and martial arts, and has developed a physique that is very different from that of other brothers. And he has a bold personality and lofty ambitions, and is highly regarded among the generals. It is precisely with the clear support of these people that he stands out from several competitors and maintains the suspense of the storage position until now.
But he has always been the second choice in Emperor Jingtai's heart, because he is not the prince of Yan, but his fifth brother, Chu Feijiao, the king of Zhou, is.
This made Chu Feiyi, who was conceited and heroic, very unhappy, he thought that the prince had been boiled to death and the second brother had fallen, and it would be his turn to save the throne, but he didn't want his father to be interested in the sick and crooked old five...... Isn't it just that if you have a better background, the queen's son will be amazing? Besides, the old lady has been dead for several years, why should she still look at her face?
There are more complaints about dissatisfaction, and there are more villains around him, these people love to fan the flames the most, lest the world will not be chaotic, I don't know how many bad things about Emperor Jingtai have been said, after a long time, he really feels that his old man is an enemy who is not a common enemy, and there is no more father-son affection in his heart.
As Qin Lei expected, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who was powerful and powerful, really slept with his concubine, and he was really afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he wanted to do nothing and keep talking, and after the old man collapsed, with the support of Yulin Jun, he directly ascended the throne.
But the old saying 'be a thief with a weak heart' is obviously very reasonable, since he did bad things, His Royal Highness King Qi has been restless every day, poor diet, and can't sleep well, always worried that things will be exposed, and will be caught and ravaged by his father. In less than two months, he actually lost more than 20 pounds, and the whole person was out of shape, although outsiders thought that this was caused by His Royal Highness King Qi's undressing and serving the old man, and greatly appreciated it, but the pain caused by long-term restlessness was gnawing at his not strong heart all the time.
So he often smashes things to vent, and every day he has to smash the furnishings in the house to smash all over the ping-pong, so that his heart can be a little more comfortable.
Today is no exception, I saw His Royal Highness King Qi lift a large porcelain vase high, and then slammed it to the ground, snapping, and the ordinary and inexpensive big bottle was smashed to pieces...... This is also no way, anyway, no matter how rich the palace is, he can't help but smash it every day, so the housekeeper has to wholesale a large number of porcelain for common people from the bazaar, exclusively for the prince to relieve his boredom...... Fortunately, King Qi didn't pick.
There was also a person in the room, looking at His Royal Highness King Qi's face cramping and destruction, that person couldn't help frowning slightly, but said that this person was long...... That's great. But seeing that he bent his eyebrows twice, he seemed to be frowning and not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy. The sorrow of the two spirits, the illness of the delicate body, the quiet like the delicate flowers shining on the water, and the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind.
If Qin Lei saw this person, he would definitely be so shocked that his eyes fell to the ground, this person turned out to be exactly the same as his old acquaintance, the prince's old friend, and the beautiful man who stirred up a paste in the south.
It's just that although the male Liangyu is handsome, he can still distinguish the gender, and the brother or sister in front of him who is dressed in red and green is confused, and it is difficult to distinguish between male and female, which is incomprehensible.
Let's call them 'Brother Ren'......
I saw that this benevolent brother stretched out his big hand and stroked the long hair in front of his forehead, slightly cocked the orchid and pointed out: "Third brother, you have smashed enough today, you better rest," said and covered his mouth and chuckled: "Otherwise, your housekeeper will be distressed." β
Chu Feiyi was obviously accustomed to his style, threw out the last pen holder in his hand, and said with a hideous face: "Old Seven, when do you say the old man will return to the West?" It's been more than a month, why hasn't there been any movement? β
It turns out that this is the seventh prince of Chu State, the king of Longyang, Chu Feifei, although the name is a little more feminine, but he is indeed a genuine prince, but he doesn't know how to make this ghost?
I saw him take out a pink handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers from his arms, stepped forward to gently wipe the sweat on King Qi's forehead, and laughed softly: "Third brother, don't worry, a good meal is not afraid of being late." After all, the longer the old man's illness drags on, the less suspicious we are. β
King Qi stretched out his hand and gently brushed his pink face, sighed and said, "What Xiao Yu said is true, but what should I do if I am afraid that the old man will suddenly wake up?" β
Concubine Chu shook her head and said confidently: "Third brother, don't worry, I stole this recipe from my family teacher, even if you can't trust me, can you still trust my master?" β
Only then did Chu Feiyi's expression soften and said: "The ability of the Ghost Valley Immortal Master, the Lone King can still be trusted, so let's wait." As he spoke, he tightened the waist of the concubine Chu, gritted his teeth and said, "No mistakes are allowed during this time!" β
A gleam flashed in Concubine Chu's eyes, and she whispered: "But there is an unstable factor now, and the third brother should pay attention to it......"
