On the third day, Qiu Yizhi already knew the time law of the hundred officials in the court, and deliberately got up very late, and after eating lunch, he waited until the end of the day to visit the master Zhongli Kuang's house.

Zhong Likuang really has a lot of opportunities, and he just started to see people and do things in the next court. However, when he heard that Qiu Yi had come to visit before, he hastily sent the officials in front of him away, and ordered someone to pass Qiu Yi in.

Zhongli Kuang Ping is extremely tricky and strict, and he often looks unsmiling, Qiu Yizhi is both respectful and afraid of him.

Therefore, after listening to the master's instructions, he stood up, made a respectful gesture, and said: "The master's teachings have been recorded in Yizhi, and when I go back, I will carefully follow the teacher's instructions and live up to the teacher's high expectations." ”

Zhong Likuang didn't pay any attention to his slightly hypocritical perfunctory, but asked Qiu Yizhi: "Yizhi, when you enter Beijing this time, you see your father-in-law and the emperor, how is his complexion now?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Son of Heaven Longyan, how can we as courtiers be able to look back?" ”

Zhong Likuang nodded, still with an unfathomable expression, and said, "It's okay." I am here in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I have never had six ears on the wall to talk to people. You just say yes. ”

Qiu Yi thought to herself: This master is the most cautious in doing things, although I don't know what the meaning of his question is, but since he said that no one eavesdropped, it must be very confidential.

So Qiu Yizhi carefully recalled the scene when he saw Zheng Rong, and then said: "The emperor is in his prime, his face is ruddy, and from the perspective of students, except for being a little tired, there is nothing unusual. What's more, the master's medical skills are thorough, and with the master to protect him, even if the emperor occasionally has a small illness, it will not matter. ”

Zhong Likuang didn't speak, a pair of triangular eyes released an unpredictable gaze, stared at Qiu Yizhi for a long time, and then said: "In fact, the Holy Dragon Body has secretly buried hidden dangers, and I am afraid it is not as healthy as it seems on the surface. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he almost exclaimed: "What? How can it be! He tried hard to keep his voice down, and asked in a questioning tone, "My father-in-law was born in the army, how many years have he been polished in the military camp, and even a cold and cough are rare, how can the master say that he will have a secret disease?" ”

Zhongli Kuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's no wonder you don't believe it. The Emperor of the Zheng family is not as good as the previous dynasty, and his natural longevity is extremely long. The emperor practiced martial arts again and made a good figure. If this is the case, although the emperor cannot live forever, it is not uncommon to live to ancient times or old age. ”

"And yet!" He deliberately added an accent to these two words, "Last year, the emperor was framed by the puppet emperor Zheng Yao and was imprisoned. If it weren't for the emperor's strong physique, he would have fallen ill by now. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he was already dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "I...... I couldn't even see it. ”

Zhongli Kuang let out a long breath and said, "Why is it you? This matter, except for me and the emperor, only you know in the whole world, even your brothers don't know. ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly said: "This is an important matter related to the safety of the world, Yiyi is determined to keep it a secret, and no matter what, he will never reveal half a word." ”

Zhongli Kuang nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you know." ”

His eyes softened suddenly, and he continued: "Actually, among my disciples, the most important is you Qiu Yizhi. This secret tells you that there is no side reason, I just want you to prepare early, stay first, and don't die for the Zheng family for the rest of your life, but in the end it ended up. ”

His words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, and he suddenly made Qiu Yizhi feel inexplicable, tears flowed down his eyes, and he only muttered in his mouth: "Master...... Master ......"

Zhong Li Kuang still had that unpredictable expression: "I said it before. After you have made immortal achievements, you can still withdraw and regress, which is much better than me. However, since you have devoted yourself to this fame and fortune, it is not easy for you to really want to be free from the world from now on. The so-called people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and vice versa - people without near-term worries must have far-sighted worries, and you have to think long-term. ”

Qiu Yizhi choked back tears and nodded incessantly: "The student wrote it down, the student wrote it down." ”

Zhong Likuang was finally a little moved, and said: "You are talented and intelligent, and you have a wide range of experience, I'm afraid I won't have anything to teach you in the future......"

Qiu Yizhi heard Zhong Likuang's words, faintly full of sadness, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is very knowledgeable, and students will not be able to learn the slightest bit of Mr. in their lives. ”

Zhongli Kuang changed his words and said, "Then what are your plans in the future?" ”

Qiu Yizhi replied: "What else can the student plan? I think it's still early today, so I'll go to the emperor to receive training first, and then I'll say goodbye to the third brother, and then I'll leave Jingnan. ”

Zhong Li Kuang nodded and said, "It's also good to leave Jingshi, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible. I'll say one more word, at the moment the emperor's sacred heart is undecided, you and your brothers can neither be too distant nor too close...... Do you understand? ”

Qiu Yizhi heard Zhong Likuang stop talking like this, he had already guessed the meaning of his words, and hurriedly nodded, and agreed repeatedly: "The student understands, the student understands." ”

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and Qiu Yizhi resigned.

Zhongli Kuang's Prime Minister's Mansion was near the imperial city, and Qiu Yizhi walked a few steps to the foot of the imperial city, and used the name card that Zheng Rong gave him at the beginning, and easily entered the imperial city.

Zheng Rong was still reviewing the chapter in the Shuli Hall at this time, listening to Qiu Yizhi's request to see, and he passed him in without thinking about it.

Qiu Yizhi had just heard from Zhong Likuang that Zheng Rong's body was secretly sick, and now he looked at Zheng Rong's face carefully, and there was indeed a faint layer of black gas between his eyebrows.

However, such a royal secret, how dare Qiu Yizhi say it easily, after quietly listening to what Zheng Rong said, he finally couldn't help it, and said: "The emperor's words, Weichen have written them down." also asked the emperor to be able to save labor, one piece and one relaxation is the way of civil and martial arts! ”

Zheng Rong was not very pleased when he heard this, and said: "This is also your filial piety." I know it. I still say the same thing, you have made great contributions to me, and your affection is no different from that of your own father and son, and I will never treat you badly. You also have to take care of your health, and you must remember my words—you are the ones I intend to keep for my son. ”

This is the topic of Zheng Rong who has brought up the heir in front of Qiu Yizhi many times, and Qiu Yizhi didn't dare to say a word, so he only agreed resignedly: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Zheng Rong said again: "You are extraordinary, a small Shanyin County can't support your great Bodhisattva, if you are tired of being a county official one day, even if you write to me, you will be able to move your position immediately." ”

Qiu Yi was busy and said humbly: "Weichen is only shallow in virtue, how can he withstand such a false praise from the emperor?" I only want to govern Sanyin County into a paradise for the Holy Lord, even if I live up to the trust of the Holy Lord. ”

When Zheng Rong heard this, he seemed to be a little disappointed, and with an "um" in his nostrils, he said, "It's okay for you to do this." I still have hundreds of pieces to review. After you go down, go talk to Zheng Xin, and also go to ask Mr. Zhongli for advice. I'm busy, you don't have to come to my side to quit before you leave Beijing. If nothing else, step aside. ”

This is the eviction order.

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly got up, bowed deeply to Zheng Rong, and slowly retreated.

As soon as he came out of the gate of the Shuli Palace, Qiu Yizhi thought that he didn't know when and when he would be able to see his father-in-law again, so he broke into the hall again, knelt on the ground with his knees weak, choked up and said: "Yizhi is going here, and it is thousands of miles as long as I don't know when I can see the face of the sky again...... Let Yizhi ...... to the emperor again Kowtow to your father-in-law! ”

With that, he pounded garlic and kowtowed to the ground.

Zheng Rong, who was buried behind a concert mountain, saw it, and couldn't help but feel emotional, left the concert in his hand, walked to Qiu Yizhi and held him with his own hands, and said: "Why is Yizhi like this? If you really miss me, just come to Beijing at any time; I want to miss you, and after the preaching will come, you will be there in half a month at most. Also, don't be lazy, write to me more often, you can say anything in the letter......"

As he spoke, Zheng Rong's eyes were slowly moistened......

Qiu Yizhi was afraid of staying in the capital for a long time, and he would inevitably be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong, so he said goodbye to the third brother that day, and called Captain Chi Jiming, and went south to Jiangnan overnight.

He had already discussed with Zheng Xin and Zhong Li Kuang in advance, and did not take the land route, but first went out of Tongguan, went all the way south through the canal, and did not stop through Nanjing, and disembarked directly at Hangzhou at the end of the canal, and slightly detoured the original road to Shanyin County.

The county seat of Shanyin is still the same as the world, but it has secretly accumulated an unknown amount of power, and it is about to gush out, turning the officialdom in Jiangnan upside down.

And Qiu Yizhi, the initiator of this tsunami, of course he didn't dare to take it lightly, and he didn't have time to watch the long-lost mountains outside the city, so he immediately entered the city and went straight to the Sanyin County Ya, wanting to ask Zhao Chengxiao, who was staying in the county seat, about the situation in the county in the past few days.

Who knew that the county government was empty, leaving only Wang Lao Wu and two personal soldiers to guard.

Qiu Yizhi felt strange and hurriedly asked, but heard Wang Lao Wu say: "Brother Zhao went to prison a few days ago......

Qiu Yi was shocked, expecting that things would inevitably change, and without waiting for Wang Lao Wu to finish speaking, he led Yu Chi Jiming straight to the prison.

After entering the prison, Qiu Yizhi was relieved - it turned out that Zhao Chengxiao was not guarded in the prison, but led more than a dozen personal soldiers to take the initiative to live in it, which was just convenient for the detention of felons. Even the two sisters, Yang Yinger and Yang Qiaoer, also moved in.

He saw that Zhao Chengxiao's body had recovered, so he smiled and said: "It's all because Wang Lao Wu can't speak clearly, I still think that Brother Zhao is being imprisoned here by someone!" But I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so serious - although these people are important, they are all shackled to death, why not Brother Zhao eat in prison with them? It's not enough to eat by yourself, even Ying'er and Qiao'er girls eat with you. ”

Zhao Chengxiao shook his head and said, "I was forced to move in!" Since the adults entered Beijing, there have been many people in the state and the province, holding the notes of several adults, saying that they want to release them, and they have been entangled again and again. However, the words from the lord to Wang Lao Wu were clear: These people are all important prisoners, how dare I release them? I was afraid that the people above would make some kind of moths, so I simply lived here by myself, and bit to death the sentence 'No one can be released without an adult's order', which also made those people helpless. ”

He paused and said: "I'm afraid that this group of people will do something, and I will learn from Li Shenshi's appearance and embarrass Ying'er and Qiao'er, so I brought both of them here." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded appreciatively and said, "Brother Zhao is doing things like this, no matter how proper it is. I have already discussed this matter with my father-in-law, my master, and several brothers, and it will be done soon. ”
