The general Shen in everyone's imagination should be a tall and burly strong man with murderous eyes, but they didn't expect that Shen Qing was a son-in-law and looked quite handsome.

At that time, it shocked many people.

Dingshan Hou saw Shen Qing for the first time today, although he had heard the rumors before, he was still a little surprised.

The somewhat cold man in front of him didn't look like a border general who had won battles for several years.

Instead, he looks like a scholar who grew up in the capital.

The rumors are true.

However, this also shows that this General Shen is not a reckless man who can only fight.

"Okay, General Shen is going back too, right? I won't delay General Shen this time. Ding Shanhou and Shen Qing said goodbye briefly.

"Master Hou walks slowly." Shen Qing withdrew his gaze from the back of Dingshan Hou.

It was an unexpected thing to have an intersection with Dingshan Hou, but it did not affect Shen Qing's thoughts.

He ignored those who were still hesitating on the sidelines and got into the carriage of the house.

As soon as he arrived at the General's Mansion, Shen Qing went straight to the study.

"General." Someone is already waiting there.

"How's the investigation going?" Shen Qing asked as he sat down.

"The tenth prince and the twelfth prince happened to be involved in the dispute between the crown prince some time ago, and now they have lost their position as princes and have been demoted to concubines. Now among the remaining princes, in addition to the eldest prince, the third prince and the sixth prince, only the eighth prince, who is not in the capital all the year round, escaped by luck. ”

Shen Qing smiled slightly: "Although Your Majesty has many heirs, the yang energy is not very sufficient. ”

“......”

Shen Qing just said a word, and after finishing speaking, he pressed his forehead with one hand and fell into thought.

The eldest prince and the third prince are obviously not good, the sixth prince is grasped by the Yue family, and he has no ideas of his own, and Shen Qing is too lazy to contact other people's puppets.

The eighth prince is not in the capital all the year round, and his subordinates have not found out what his personality is, so Shen Qing will not take this risk.

In this way, it seems that there is no prince to choose from.

Shen Qing sighed.

"Then let them fight first." Shen Qing's tone was casual, and he knocked on the table, "Let's look forward to which prince will win with Your Majesty." ”

"Yes."

"Recently, I have been paying attention to the whereabouts of several princes," Shen Qing instructed, "Let the people over there continue to collect folk secrets." ”

"First grasp the handle of the five-grade official." Shen Qing's expression was calm, "Start from the market, it's time to move the things you prepared before." ”

Shen Qing held a lot of forces in the capital, some were handed over to him by his grandfather, some were given to him by his mother, and some were established by himself, although these forces were all controlled by him, Shen Qing clearly divided them, mainly to prevent them from being uprooted.

In order not to arouse suspicion, it has been developing in secret, although the speed is slow, but the roots are very deep.

And now, it can finally come in handy.

Shen Qing flipped through the roster on the table.

It records the current position of the officials of the DPRK and China, who is the person of the eldest prince, who is the person of the third prince, who is the person of the sixth prince, and there are some people who stand in neutrality.

There is a near-detailed record of what these people did.

If the people above see this list, I am afraid they will be alarmed and scream.

Shen Qing swept them one by one, some people have some things because they are easy to investigate, and they are very detailed, but some officials with heavy power are not so easy.

But there are still some things to know.

What Shen Qing needs to do now is to win over as many important ministers as possible.

The opinions of some minor officials are not important, and Shen Qing does not need to win them over, and there are some people who have taken refuge in the prince on the surface, but they are vacillating in their hearts and have weaknesses, which Shen Qing can master.

Shen Qing thought about it as he flipped through the roster.

Until a piece of news came into view, Shen Qing's hand froze, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"The eldest prince wants to poison?"

"Yes...... According to intelligence, the eldest prince had performed well in the previous struggle with the third prince and the sixth prince, so he was a little arrogant, and he has recently begun to be a little impatient. The subordinate said.

Emperor Dachu is in good health, even if the crown prince is elected, I don't know how long it will take to succeed to the throne, and the eldest prince can't wait.

"Your Majesty let the third prince go to the imperial examination this time, I'm afraid it will make the eldest prince even more anxious." Shen Qing's voice was calm, "Since that's the case, let's help His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

......

After finishing business, Shen Qing left the study and went to the courtyard to find Chu Ku.

Chu Ku was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, learning words with Hua Bing.

She studied carefully, pondering word by word, and sometimes had to write more than a dozen times.

When Shen Qing came over, Chu Ku was dipped in ink, and the pen fell on the paper in front of him.

Hua Bing saw Shen Qing walk in, bowed and saluted, and when she saw Shen Qing waving her hand, she quietly stepped aside.

Shen Qing walked over, behind Chu Ku, and watched Chu Ku write seriously.

After Chu Ku finished writing, he put down the pen and wanted to take a step back, but he crashed into the arms with cold incense.

She exclaimed, looked up and looked back, and sure enough, it was Shen Qing's familiar face.

"General, you're back." Chu Ku suppressed his happy mood and smiled at Shen Qing.

"Hmm. Have you eaten breakfast? Shen Qing touched her head, her voice was clear but gentle.

"I've used it." Chu Ku followed Shen Qing's side, and in the past few days when she came to the General's Mansion, her smile has increased, and her gestures have begun to gradually put aside her previous cowardice.

In the past few days, she has lived a very fulfilling life, learning words and reading books at the same time.

Su Feijin likes Chu Ku very much, and from time to time he has to call her to chat in the yard, and Chu Ku also learned a lot about Shen Qing when he was a child from Su Feijin's mouth.
