Qin Liu has already recognized his living environment, and it is time to choose the best means of survival. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Pretending to be stupid and being cute will never last long, but it seems that only this can be done at the moment to alleviate the suspicion in the emperor's heart.
However, born in such an impersonal court, there are too many things that Qin Liu does not have the final say.
If you want to pretend to be stupid, someone just won't let you pretend, then damn Chen Qinglong is determined to kill Qin Liu, seeing that the tense atmosphere was relieved in the emperor's hypocrisy, he spoke again: "Your Majesty Shengming, it is really the blessing of all the people, according to the humble opinion of the ministers, His Royal Highness King Xiang is very intelligent, if he gets the guidance of a wise teacher, he will become a great weapon in time." β
Hearing Chen Qinglong's words, Qin Liu's expression pretending to be stupid couldn't help but flash a trace of shock, and he really admired the person who could talk nonsense with his eyes open, especially when he said that King Xiang was "very smart", Qin Liu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
"When the emperor was in power, he had set up a palace for His Royal Highness King Xiang, which happened to be next to the cold house of the lower ministers.
Chen Qinglong made his intentions clear, he was really a smart person and knew what the emperor was thinking. Nonsense said that it was to find a good teacher for King Xiang, but in fact, King Xiang had to move to King Xiang's mansion outside the palace, away from the government, and then put him under house arrest and surveillance.
Moving to Xiangwang's Mansion is in line with Qin Liu's thoughts at the moment, after all, the new emperor's palace, he is indeed not suitable for an orphan of the first emperor to stay here, but the vision of the first emperor is too good, where to build Xiangwang's mansion is not good, it has to be built near this Chen Da's house.
"Okay, what Chen Aiqing said is exactly what I think, but King Xiang grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and I am worried that King Xiang is not suitable for the market outside the palace, so it is better to invite a gentleman to enter the palace to teach King Xiang."
Did the emperor want to keep King Xiang under his nose? Qin Liu tried his best to make himself tend to a state of conformity, but now there was inevitably a trace of resistance in his heart, compared to being a neighbor with Chen Qinglong, he was a prince no matter what, and staying in the palace was to be a neighbor with the emperor, and he would die faster.
No, you have to leave the palace!
"Uncle Three Emperors...... Is there a Xiangwang Mansion outside the palace? Why did he never hear his father mention it, Qin Liu wanted to go and see. Taking advantage of the emperor's hypocritical and friendly attitude, Qin Liu gave up etiquette, stepped to the emperor's side, reached out and grabbed the sleeves of the dragon robe, still a little silly.
"You haven't been to King Xiang's Mansion?" The emperor was stunned, after all, he had only returned to the capital not long ago, and he didn't know if Qin Liu had really never been to Xiangwang's mansion, not to mention, if Xiangwang had really been there, it was normal for his unsmart mind not to remember that he had been there.
Seeing the situation, Chen Qinglong smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, if His Royal Highness King Xiang is by his side, His Majesty will inevitably have to be distracted and take care of it, so let King Xiang move into King Xiang's Mansion and let the old minister take care of it." β
This Chen Qinglong finally said something that Qin Liu wanted to hear, and Qin Liu immediately followed up and said, "If the third emperor uncle and Qin Liu move to the Xiangwang Mansion together, Qin Liu will be tired of living in this palace for a long time." β
"Haha......" The emperor was amused by Qin Liu's words that he didn't understand the world, patted Qin Liu's shoulder and said with a smile: "The Third Emperor Uncle can't live in Xiangwang's Mansion, the Third Emperor Uncle still has a lot of things to do." β
After speaking, the emperor turned his gaze to look at Chen Qinglong: "Then there is Lao Chen Aiqing, you must let King Xiang learn the way of the Holy Monarch." β
"Your Majesty takes orders!"
At this point, Chen Qinglong is complete, his move, even if he was not the emperor's henchman before, is now. Although Qin Liu was unhappy about this, it was also the best survival choice at the moment.
It is also said that the hands and feet are fast, the emperor just allowed King Xiang to leave the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids over there have already packed their luggage.
And Qin Liu had just left the Golden Dome Hall when he was slightly rudely stuffed into a carriage of considerable specifications by the guards. Qin Liu sighed, after a long time, there was a stage play above this court, the scripts were all written, and even these guards who were engaged in logistics had already prepared to send King Xiang out of the palace.
Forget it, it's okay like this, at least out of the palace, Xiaosheng can live a little longer.
It's just that in the crowd accompanying him out of the palace, Qin Liu noticed the old man who took him to see the emperor.
From the words of the other little eunuchs calling the old man, Qin Liu knew that the old man's surname was Lu, and he was the old eunuch who was close to King Xiang.
It can be seen that this era is really impersonal, Gonggong Lu is a person who grew up watching King Xiang, but under the general trend of the new dynasty and the old dynasty, he is full of selfishness.
At this time, Gonggong Lu should be extremely unhappy, he should have retired peacefully in the palace at the age of a handful, and then be honored by the little eunuchs, but now he wants to follow King Xiang to be "demoted" out of the palace, and the dream of a great eunuch who has struggled all his life is ruined.
The carriage went out of the palace gate, Qin Liu silently counted the time in his heart, and after about twenty minutes, the carriage stopped.
Qin Liu opened the curtains and looked at his own Xiangwang Mansion, I have to say that it is really Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road, just looking at the faΓ§ade of the palace, you can foresee the size of the internal pattern.
Qin Liu was born poor in his previous life, and even if he later engaged in commercial espionage and benefited a lot, he did not dare to spend a lot of money. Now seeing that such a big palace belongs to him alone, he can't help but be very excited in his heart.
However, at this moment, Gonggong Lu stepped forward to open the door curtain and was about to speak to Qin Liu, but first let out a sneeze, and then said without emotion: "It's here, Your Highness hurry up and get out of the car." β
Hearing Gonggong Lu's tone, Qin Liu's heart suddenly lit up with anger. I know you're not happy with this dead old man, but how can you not show it so obviously?
Helplessly, Gonggong Lu dared to be so unscrupulous, which already showed that King Xiang had gone and became a prisoner.
When Qin Liu stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the palace in front of him, his mood had completely changed. Speaking of which, I should really thank Gonggong Lu for his indifference, so that Qin Liu could realize so quickly that although the palace is big, it is just a prison.
And Gonggong Lu is the warden of this prison! That is, Qin Liu's biggest enemy at the moment.
Thinking of this, Qin Liu sighed secretly, his thoughts unconsciously thought too much, and he didn't step into the palace in time for a while. And Gonggong Lu stood behind Qin Liu, and he directly raised his hand to push Qin Liu's back, and said coldly: "Let's go, hurry in, isn't it too cold to stand outside?" β
Being pushed by Gonggong Lu like this, Qin Liu was lifeless, because his daze at the moment was analyzing his next plan, and the most desirable first move was to kill Gonggong Lu.
Qin Liu knew that if Gonggong Lu was by his side, his days of pretending to be stupid would be infinitely extended, which was not Qin Liu's character.
But fortunately, Gonggong Lu is just a minion, even if he is killed, no one will care too much.
