"Chengze, Jing Xiu can be trusted. If you can subdue him, he will be a great help to you in the future. ”

Qi Yang propped up the side of the boat and looked at the wide river, thinking about what his father said before he left.

Why did his father say that Jing Xiu could be trusted, he had never seen him trust Jing Xiu?

Jing Xiu is the father-in-law in front of the palace, but he has very little time to serve in close proximity, and most of the time he does the work done by low-level palace people.

Father and Father-in-law Gao treated him coldly, and everyone felt that Jing Xiu was not welcomed, if it weren't for Xiaoyin'er, I am afraid that he would have been sent to other places a long time ago!

However, what made him even more incomprehensible was another sentence: "When you come back, my father will definitely hand you a harmonious and stable Yundu, and then everything will depend on you." ”

His father's tone was heavy and relieved, and he asked if there was anything big going on, and the answer was that there was still no need to worry.

"How long will it take to get to Ningshuo?" He asked, looking to the north.

"It will take about four days to return to Your Highness." He Jingwei, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, made a gesture and replied solemnly.

"Four days?" Qi Yang stared at the official with a solemn face, "The day before yesterday, I said that it would only take five days, but it will take four days after two days, are you teasing the palace?" ”

"Your Highness, Wei Chen said four days ago that it is a conservative estimate, there are always many force majeure factors in the environment, and Wei Chen cannot be absolutely accurate!

What's more, it was not negligence on the part of Weichen, but the north wind began to blow one after another the evening the day before yesterday, and the wind was much stronger today.

Now I have gone to some sails, and from time to time I have to adjust the course to keep going north, which will take more time, and Weichen estimates that he will definitely arrive in five days. ”

Over the years, He Jingwei has always been obsessed with the work and research of engineering construction, Tuntian water conservancy, etc., and does not like to deal with people, so he can't learn to beat around the bush. Speak always straight and straightforward, and it's easy to offend people.

Qi Yang is enlightened today, his words always sound accusatory, and they make people feel uncomfortable for no reason, no wonder he has been staying in the position of the household servant for so many years.

But this is not a big deal, as a superior, you must be tolerant, Qi Yang waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

But when He Jingwei turned to leave, he suddenly asked, "He Aiqing, have you heard of the name Ji Qianrou?" ”

"This is not ......" He Jingwei was obviously stunned, then his eyes dodged, and he lowered his head in order to cover up.

"What is it?"

He couldn't lie, and Qi Yang knew this so he dared to continue to ask.

"He Aiqing, if you know anything, just tell this palace. This palace knows that the father must have made an order to keep everyone silent, and you can understand it if you don't say it. ”

"Your Highness, Weichen ......" He Jingwei had the intention of escaping.

Qi Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, hooked his lips and smiled evilly, and the majesty of his body was fully revealed: "But you and I have a disagreement." The crown prince is now in charge of the country, and the day of succession to the throne will not be too far away, and your future ...... Maybe you've long wanted to say goodbye to your hometown? ”

Qi Yang didn't say anything completely, although He Jingwei was not good at dealing with people, he could still understand the meaning of the words.

Today I said that after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it will be a brilliant future, not to mention that I can only return to my hometown, and there is no third option.

Thinking of his son, who had just been able to speak, the scales of struggle began to tilt in favor of speaking. He is an old man, and he must plan for his son's future.

With a difficult face, he hesitated and said, "That's the name of the Empress Dowager Huihe......"

Qi Yang's eyes flashed strangely, the name Ji Qianrou was seen on a scroll of paintings in the library pavilion, that painting was written by the first emperor himself, and there was a seal in the lower right corner.

I didn't know who it was, but who knew that such a shocking clue was blown up.

His face grew more and more calm, as if he knew everything well.

Seeing this, He Jingwei's mind about concealing important information was completely stopped, and he continued to tell after observing around.

Ji Qianrou is the leader of a witch in the northwest of Qi Province, that tribe is very mysterious, almost no one knows the name, and the people of the tribe are also active in the deep mountains and dense forests where snakes, insects, rats and ants are abundant all year round, so the people there will have some strange spells.

The people of Qi are simple, civilized, and open-minded, so that a person who has been accompanied by snakes, insects, rats and ants all the year round, and has unknown means and unknown identities can be the queen of Qi, and the people will naturally resist to the death.

One is afraid that those who come will bring disaster to the country, and even more afraid that those who come will steal the country!

Later, it was Emperor Hongde Qi Jin who took Ji Qianrou to inspect the whole country, especially the places where disasters occurred, and during the inspection, Emperor Hongjing spared no effort to change the people's impression of her.

Three years later, the people finally changed their minds and agreed to make the woman with strange methods the queen.

He Jingwei said that he was going to retire here, Qi Yang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Then what?" ”

"And then there is no more......" He Jingwei scratched his cheeks.

"No, why is there no then?" Qi Yang couldn't tell whether he was angry or laughing now, "What happened later, such as how did the first emperor die?" ”

At this time, He Jingwei realized that it was the prince who was deceiving him before, and most of the prince didn't know anything, so he was secretly annoyed that he was careless, and his speech was more perfunctory.

"The first emperor was sick from hard work, and this record is all there."

Qi Yang sneered twice: "What about the Empress Dowager Huihe?" ”

"I miss the first emperor, and I am too sad."

Qi Yang took a step forward, stared straight at He Jingwei and whispered, "Oh, is it? Hongu knew she was still alive. ”

He Jingwei's face suddenly fell, and he was as worried as a bitter gourd: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I beg you not to ask me again, if you really want to know, ask Your Majesty in person!" ”

Qi Yang just stared at him, just staring at him, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he was quite imperial.

He Jingwei was finally defeated, and for the time being, regardless of the distinction between the monarch and the minister, he leaned on the side of the ship next to Qi Yang and sighed non-stop.

It was about a quarter of an hour before he began to speak in retrospective terms.

"The first time I saw Ji Qianrou, I felt that she was not suitable to be the queen of the world, which is not to say that she is not virtuous or talented, on the contrary, she has a great strategy for governing the country."

"Why is that?" Qi Yang asked a question at the right time and guided him to continue.

"Her heart is too small to fit one person, and her personality is a little paranoid...... You know what I mean. ”

He Jingwei looked at Qi Yang's eyes, and because of the wry smile on his face, the folds were much deeper than before.

"Are you trying to say that she only cares about the first emperor and doesn't care about the common people?"

He Jingwei nodded, and the face of the national character was full of melancholy.

It should be a secret buried in his heart for many years, so that he has a hard time, and today he started talking anyway, and he doesn't mind saying more.

If there is something bad, he doesn't want to hold the secret in his heart.

"One year, the first emperor was injured in an accident on the way to disaster relief, do you know what Ji Qianrou did? She killed the pathfinder directly. ”

"And that makes sense."

"But her eyes are eager to kill all the soldiers who are responsible for the safety of the first emperor!"
