When the second prince Ji Ping and the third prince Ji Hongchang went to find the fourth prince Ji Wen, and this information was quickly publicized to the eighth prince's mansion, Ji Qian was shocked all of a sudden. Because he knows one thing, as long as Ji Ping, Ji Hongchang and Ji Wen join forces, no matter how strong he is, even if he has his own backer behind the scenes, he has no ability to fight with the three of them, after all, the union of the three kings is not as simple as it says, as long as the three of them are united, their strength will be so strong that even Emperor Yan is shocked, not to mention that he Ji Qian is just a prince?

Therefore, when he heard the news, Ji Qian immediately summoned Cui Jingsheng, Li Muzhi and Cha Shenxing and other confidant ministers to his study to discuss countermeasures, of course, in addition to these people in today's study, there is one more person, this person is Mr. Gu, who is very important to Ji Qian, whose real name is Gu Qi, is a big Yan madman.

Because of Li Muzhi's relationship, Cui Jingsheng has long known that there is such a number one person as Gu Qi by Ji Qian's side, and he has heard and heard the Eighth Prince introduce Gu Qi, if there is no Gu Qi, Li Muzhi will not be able to fall to the side of the Eighth Prince, so Cui Jingsheng is very polite to Gu Qi, even if he can't see the Mr. Gu in front of him clearly.

"Tell me, what are we going to do?" Seeing that everyone had arrived, the eighth prince Ji Qian spoke.

"The strength of the three of them is indeed too much, but it has not reached the point of exhaustion, we still have a lot of countermeasures, Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much." Seeing that everyone didn't speak after the Eighth Emperor spoke, Gu Qi, who was Ji Qian's strategist, spoke.

"Now the second prince is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, the third prince is in charge of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and the fourth prince is in charge of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, we only have one Ministry of Works and a Honglu Temple that does not have much power, you say that if they are united, how can it be difficult for us? How many countermeasures are there to think of? Cha Shenxing on the side listened to Gu Qi's words so lightly, he was not calm, because in just a few days, he had a hard time in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not to mention the anger of the second prince Ji Ping and the third prince Ji Hongchang every day, and he had to be called by the two of them like dogs, so Cha Shenxing was holding back his anger, just waiting for Ji Qian to fight back, otherwise he would not be able to mix in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he was very disgusted by Gu Qi's unnutritious and muddy statement.

"The combined strength of the three kings is indeed amazing, but we are not much worse than them, the Privy Council has General Li, even if the three princes are known in the Privy Council, he can't make any big waves in the Privy Council, the political hall has Cui Shangshu in charge, with the title of Cui Shangshu Taishi, it is enough to compete with Pei Wenju, we are not weaker than them in this regard, and in terms of troops, we have a Yulin cavalry in King's Landing City, and there is a fine cavalry of 80,000 people, what do the three of them have? Nothing but a few guards. As for the rest, they have an advantage, but what can they do? Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still in the hands of His Royal Highness, as long as the Metropolitan Procuratorate has a few impeachment notes, saying that there is no His Majesty in the center, we will let the Queen come forward to preside over government affairs, so that we have an advantage in the Privy Council, or in the political hall and in the court, are we afraid that the three of them will unite against us? Gu Qi said disdainfully.

"At that time, I'm afraid it's time for us to investigate the crime of their private meeting with the prisoner Ji Qingchen!" Gu Qi said coldly, "In this regard, the main thing is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate must exert its strength, Cui Shangshu must withstand the pressure of Pei Wenju, and the situation of paralyzing government affairs can be solved by the queen, and as for General Li's Privy Council, it must veto all the suggestions put forward by the three princes." ”

Gu Qi is worthy of being a madman, even in the face of the patriarchs of big families like Cui Jingsheng and Li Muzhi, he still talks eloquently, and after telling his plan, he also assigns tasks to everyone, and does not treat himself as an outsider at all.

"That's a good idea!" Cui Jingsheng thought about it slightly, nodded and agreed to Gu Qi's method. In fact, he felt that things were far less terrifying than Cha Shenxing said, and even less thrilling than Ji Qian thought, so he was very calm, because he felt that his side had not yet obtained the exact content of the meeting between the three kings, and what to do in this situation was very passive, so why bother?

However, Gu Qi's words made him appreciate it very much.

Because Gu Qi's method seems to be a passive move, but after careful analysis, you can see the effect of a late strike from the passive move.

Therefore, this is also the reason why he agrees with Gu Qi's countermeasures.

"What does General Lee think?" After Cui Jingsheng finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask Li Muzhi's opinion, saying that he and Li Muzhi are also members of the family of the Seven Great Families, with equal status and equal status, so he was very polite to Li Muzhi.

"The old man thinks it's feasible, so let's do it!" Li Muzhi said.

However, he pondered for a while, and then spoke, "As for the Privy Council, the old man can be in charge alone, but if the three princes join forces with the military department to put pressure on the old man, the old man will also have to depend on the situation." ”

Li Muzhi said this, he was not afraid that the three princes Ji Hongchang would join forces with Liu Pingyuan to put pressure on him, he was afraid that the three princes would unite to put pressure on him, so that even if he was the privy envoy of the Privy Council and the head of the Li family of the Seven Great Families, he could not withstand the pressure of the three princes.

"General Li can rest assured that this king has his own way!" Ji Qian heard Li Muzhi's worried look and immediately assured.

After receiving Ji Qian's assurance, Li Muzhi didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, and Ji Qian said to Cha Shenxing on the side, "Whether this matter is successful or not depends on your Privy Council." If things are handled properly, uncle, do you see if you can let Zha Yushi go one step further? ”

Cha Shenxing's body shook, he knew the meaning of Ji Qian's words, and if he took another step, wouldn't he become a veritable chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Now he is the right imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is only the second person, so he will be troubled by the second prince and the third prince in every way, if he becomes the first person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then the second prince and the third prince will be much more polite when they see themselves, right?

Thinking like this, Cha Shenxing's whole body was suddenly full of strength, and it seemed that he was about to see the dawn of his future, so when Cui Jingsheng said that there was no problem, he immediately expressed his attitude to Ji Qian, "Your Highness, please rest assured, what to do this time, the old man knows very well in his heart, and he will not let His Highness down again." ”

"Yes!" Ji Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, everyone discussed some details, and then they said goodbye to Ji Qian and left.

At this time, there were only two people left in the study, Ji Qian and Gu Qi.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think of what your uncle said about uniting the crown princess to deal with Ji Qingchen?" Ji Qian has never forgotten Ji Qingchen, who was imprisoned in the palace, just like Gu Qi asked for advice, because of Gu Qi, Li Muzhidu fell to him, and he valued Gu Qi very much.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess's ambition is not small! If we cooperate with her, we need to be cautious! Gu Qi frowned slightly, and whispered to Ji Qian.

"So, Mr. Gu can guess that we are cooperating with her, what will this woman ask of us?" The Eighth Emperor Ji Qian asked Gu Qi.

"The price will definitely be too small, in my guess, I don't want to let Ji Zhao enter the prince to go outside, it may be to let Ji Zhao get a little power to govern, and be able to openly appear in front of the ministers and attract everyone's attention." Gu Qi said worriedly, "Your Highness, at first glance, the crown princess's requirements don't seem to be high, but we have been cooperating with her for a long time, if it accumulates over time, coupled with the strong financial resources of the Shangzhou Wei clan to support it, if we are not careful, Ji Zhao will probably be our henchman in the future!" ”

"Yes. What Mr. Gu said is very right, but, in this case, what should we do, don't we cooperate with them? Ji Qian asked rhetorically, his tone a little displeased,

However, Gu Qi smiled faintly and said, "You can cooperate, but be cautious, as long as we press the crown princess and Ji Zhaoen to death in King's Landing City in the future, and with Your Highness and the three princes in King's Landing City, he Ji Zhao and Shangzhou Wei will not be able to make any big waves." There is one thing that must be paid attention to, whether they can be allowed out of King's Landing City, as long as Ji Zhao is allowed to become a vassal domain, with the financial resources of the Wei clan of Shangzhou, Ji Zhao will become a prince in a few days, but even if His Royal Highness wants to deal with him, he will have to pay a heavy price. ”

"Well, what Mr. Gu said is very right, I'll talk to my uncle tomorrow." Ji Qian agreed with Gu Qi's suggestion, he asked a few more questions, and Gu Qi answered him one by one, and he was satisfied with letting Gu Qi go down to rest.

Gu Qi left the study and went back to his campus to rest.

But he didn't know what to do, and when he was talking to Ji Qian just now, Cui Jingsheng and Li Muzhi were also discussing him.

Just as the two of them were leaving the palace, Li Muzhi suddenly said to Cui Jingsheng, "Cui Shangshu, this Gu Qi is very talented, and his scheming skills are also very powerful, His Royal Highness has such a person to help, it is really like a tiger with wings!" ”

"Oh, General Li is so optimistic about this Gu Qi?" Cui Jingsheng asked in surprise.

"The madman Gu Qi is full of great Yan, this is an indisputable fact, and this person has offended Pei Wenju, if he wants to come out, he can only follow His Highness, Cui Shangshu should let His Highness cultivate him well." Li Muzhi said that he knew what Cui Jingsheng was thinking, so he said what Cui Jingsheng had doubts.

"What does General Lee mean?" Cui Jingsheng asked puzzled.

"Since Gu Qi has a grudge against Pei Wenju, why should we help him and push him into the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Li Muzhi said lightly.

"Let Gu Qi go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Cui Jingsheng was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what Li Muzhi was going to do, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on his face, "It's still General Li who is amazing!" ”

"It's just a small skill of carving insects!" Li Muzhi smiled faintly, got into the carriage, and disappeared in front of Cui Jingsheng's eyes. And Cui Jingsheng looked at the figure of Li Muzhi's carriage in a daze, and then came back to his senses and muttered to himself, "Li Muzhi, what you ask for is not small!" ”
