172 The Knife on the Top of the Head (2nd Watch)
In the imperial study, the smoke of the crane incense burner curls, quietly revealing a trace of strange silence.
Even Ji Chun avoided it.
Song Ning hung his head and waited for Zhao Chi, who was sitting behind the dragon case, to speak.
In fact, she was very confused by Zhao Chi's behavior so far, and suddenly made an exception to make her a pusher...... Exceptional favor to her.
She asked Song Yanxu if the prince also valued Song Shi'an in the past.
Song Yanxu said that the former prince has always had a good temper and is very close to everyone, and he naturally has some friendship with Song Shi'an, but it is really surprising to let him be a pusher and reuse him to raise some prisons.
For so many years, Song Yanxu has known Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi doesn't do things impulsively, everything has his reasons and purposes.
Therefore, although the people of the Manchu Dynasty felt that Zhao Chi's behavior was incomprehensible, no one said that he was willful and nonsense.
One is not dare, and the other is habitual thinking.
Song Ning felt that Zhao Chi might be able to solve the mystery for her today.
She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Chi quickly, lowered her brows again, was suddenly stunned, and looked up at Zhao Chi again.
He was rubbing his brows, his face full of bitterness, his eyes red.
"Holy Lord, what are you...... What's so sad? "There are only two people in the hall, and if she doesn't ask, it's not appropriate.
Moreover, you have to ask, and you are distressed and honestly afraid.
Zhao Chi sighed, looked at Song Ning with a deep expression of helplessness, and said, "Do you know about King Qi going to the fiefdom overnight?" ”
"Yes."
Why did you talk about Zhao Yi's sudden departure to the fiefdom?
"I know that you have some relationship with him, he met your sister in Boryeong, and after coming to the capital, he has always regarded you as your sister, but is this so?"
Song Ning looked at Zhao Chi and guessed his intentions, she replied: "Prince Qi's thoughts, Wei Chen didn't understand, and he didn't mention it. ”
"You don't know anything about Yuntai, except for his father and mother, as well as the guards around him, he never interacts with others."
"After he was seven years old, among our brothers, he only occasionally crossed paths with the fifth child."
"Later, the fifth child died...... The two of them were hunting, and suddenly he was struck by an arrow and went. ”
When the matter of the five princes was in Niutou Mountain, Zhao Yi once mentioned it, but it was only one sentence.
Why did Zhao Chi suddenly tell her today?
"Many people in the DPRK believe that he killed the fifth child, and I believe it, but there is no other evidence except that they had an argument in the morning." Zhao Chiming said these words to her, "This matter has become an unsolved case." ”
Song Ning was surprised, Zhao Yi killed the five princes?
He would kill someone and be caught with such obvious evidence?
Zhao Chi said: "The main meaning of this is that he is not close to people, this is one of them. Second, he was born as the pride of the sky and was loved by thousands of people. We brothers can't touch what he wants, not even his people and his things. ”
Song Ning was curious: "Did you touch it?" ”
You were already a prince at the time, and if you touched it, could you still kill you?
"My father will punish me to kneel outside the noon gate for four hours at a time." Zhao Chi said.
Song Ning looked surprised.
"Not only me, but all of our brothers, including my children, have been punished in this way."
Song Ning was even more shocked, and shook the corners of his mouth, no wonder no one dared to play with King Qi.
If it were her, she wouldn't dare.
"That's a bit overbearing." Song Ning covered his mouth after speaking, "Holy Lord, Weichen has lost his words." ”
"You didn't lose your word, that's the way it is, my father has never had a lower limit to favor him, and his temperament is exactly what my father is used to raising." Zhao Chi leaned back in his chair, looked at the roof and sighed, "King Qi I know, he actually doesn't have bad intentions, but he just likes to mess around and be childish." ”
Song Ning looked at Zhao Chi and waited for him to continue.
"However, sometimes his nonsense can be out of proportion. Now that he has a fiefdom, he is not under my nose, and I am afraid that he will mess around. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Song Ning worriedly.
Song Ning also showed a worried look, she was worried about herself.
"You have a good relationship with him." Zhao Chi walked down and put his hand on Song Ning's shoulder, "You are close in age, and you are eccentric and principled, you ...... Is it okay to help me watch him? ”
Song Ning's shoulders shook, but he was held down by Zhao Chi, and he looked at her eagerly and seriously: "You don't need to do anything else, and you don't have to stare at everything, you just ...... Just tell me about the big things he has done and the things he has tossed, and that's it. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Chi looked at him like a father who had high hopes for her.
Song Ning suddenly asked: "When the saint made an exception to let Weichen be a pusher, did he have the plan he has now?" ”
"Between you and me, I don't hide it from you." Zhao Chi said softly, "At that time, I heard something about you, your sister, and him. ”
"I think that you are not afraid that he can still catch his way, I think it is only appropriate for you to take care of him."
"The second is that you have become calmer, and I believe that you are capable of handling many things."
Song Ning didn't shake his shoulders this time, and began to shake his eyebrows.
She asked, "Holy Lord, can Weichen refuse?" ”
"No." Zhao Yi said, "You must not live up to my high expectations for you, I don't have a young and capable courtier in my hands, and you are the young man I value the most." ”
"At your age, you will have a good experience in my hands, and when I am old, you will be my son's minister of the humerus."
"I'm here to train you."
Oh my God, this pie is so big! Song Ning looked at Zhao Chi, she couldn't refuse, so she could only wait for him to continue.
"Otherwise, within three years, you will help me take care of the PTZ, don't let him do anything wrong, and do the errand I gave you. After the deed is completed, I will give you the title of earl, hereditary replacement, how about it? ”
Song Ning Zhengse said: "I don't know what else the saint has to do besides letting Weichen keep an eye on the prince of Qi?" ”
"This other thing is what I will tell you to do if the king of Qi has misbehaved." Zhao Chi said.
Seeing that Zhao Yi is so simple, can he add her to the rank of knight?
Is there such a good thing in this world?
What's more, why did she do such a simple thing?
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Chi, feeling the pressure of imperial power for the first time.
She has a kind of betrayal that if she refuses, it will be a betrayal for Zhao Chi...... For such a result, what will Zhao Chi do?
"Your Song family will also be more prosperous and glorious because of you." Zhao Chi added.
Song Ning's heart jumped. The Song family is not just Song Yanxu and Old Lady Song......
She always said that she would punish the nine clans casually, but how many people were in the nine clans, and how many innocent people were there?
It's not something she, a modern person, can afford.
She broke out in a cold sweat and said tentatively: "Holy Lord, the temper of the prince of Qi has always been bad, and the nine clans who will punish the ministers at every turn, if the ministers go to the bar with the king of Qi...... Or, do you give Weichen the power to command the military power at one time? ”
The Metropolitan Command Department belongs to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and is the yamen for the dispatch of military, political and military power of the Shandong Political Envoy Division.
The dispatcher commanded the envoy, Mo said that it was her, even the King of Qi did not have such authority.
Zhao Chi looked at her and didn't speak.
Song Ning's heart was beating extremely fast, she lowered her eyebrows, thinking that Zhao Chi was going to refuse.
Suddenly, I heard him speak: "I will give you a handwritten message, this handwritten oracle will not only allow you to dispatch 2,000 elite soldiers, but also your gold medal for avoiding death, are you satisfied with this condition?" ”
Song Ning's heart smacked and fell in place.
Not relieved, but convinced.
The task given to her by Zhao Chi is by no means simple, otherwise how could she draw a flatbread and give it back to sugar?
What kind of mission will it be, kill Zhao Yi?
No. If he wanted to kill Zhao Yi, it would be impossible for him to use her as a civil official.
What's that for?
She can't think of it now.
"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Song Ning Shane. She has to take this road if she doesn't take it.
Zhao Chi didn't give her a chance to refuse from the beginning, or rather...... He didn't even think she would refuse.
Why?
Song Ning suddenly thought of a possibility, did he know that he was a woman?
Because he knew, Zhao Chi could use this reason to kill them at any time?
How could it be, how would he know?
She looked up at Zhao Chi, and Zhao Chi also looked at her fondly.
There is no threat, only trust and trust.
Song Ning couldn't figure it out for a while.
"I'll write it to you now!" Zhao Chi laid out the unmounted silk, wrote two items of pardon and dispatch elite soldiers, and the jade seal was stamped with a private seal and handed it to Song Ning.
Song Ning took it respectfully: "Weichen, thank you Lord Longen." ”
Zhao Chi patted her on the shoulder and said, "I let you stay in Shuntian Mansion for three months, and now only half a month has passed, and you don't have to go to the Torture Hall for the rest of the time. ”
"Shengshang," Song Ning looked up at Zhao Chi and smiled, "Weichen was born as a champion, first editing, and then a six-rank Shuntianfu magistrate, but he was a seventh-grade magistrate in Jinan Mansion, this is ...... It's not a promotion, it's a denigration. ”
"Weichen went, it was difficult to convince the public, and he didn't have face."
"So, you might as well just let Weichen follow Master Qian to study for the rest of the time, and send Weichen to be promoted to the prefect of Jinan!"
Zhao Chi was stunned, suddenly laughed, pointed at her and shook his head: "Your heart is not small, you actually want to be a prefect?" ”
"Otherwise, the political envoy of Shandong will also do?"
Zhao Chi laughed angrily, nodded her forehead, and said: "You can study with Qian Zhongning, and you will go to Jinan next year, but I can't give you the position of prefect, and it is even more impossible to set up a political envoy." ”
"You don't even have experience in handling the affairs of a county, how can you be qualified for these official positions and handle the affairs of a government or even a province?"
"Don't worry, study hard, you will have a chance in the future."
Song Ning sighed, hugged his fists and said, "If Weichen can be promoted if he performs well, you can't stop him." ”
"Haha." Zhao Chi said, "Don't worry, I will be the first to promote you." ”
Song Ning shook his heart and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen must do a good job and be promoted as soon as possible!" ”
Zhao Chi couldn't cry or laugh, and said to Song Ning: "I don't know that Zimu is such a funny child. ”
Song Ning bared his teeth and smiled at him.
What's funny? Two knives were about to hang above her head, and if she didn't protect herself, was she waiting to be cut?
In this situation, if Zhao Yi or Zhao Chi want to kill her in the future...... Or if her crime of deceitful is broken, if she really wants to destroy the nine clans of the Song clan and affect the remnants of the Sui clan, she can't really watch from the wall.
She can not care about Song Yanxu's life, but she can't treat everyone else as a radish.
If she doesn't have a choice, then what she can do is to climb to a high position and hold something that competes with the imperial power.
As long as she is heavy enough, even if the emperor and the king of Qi want to kill her, they must weigh the pros and cons.
"Cheng, things are according to your meaning, starting tomorrow you will follow Qian Zhongning to study affairs, and learning more is indeed not a bad thing for you."
"Young people, you should have the same momentum as you."
Song Ning didn't dare.
"Ah, I want to ask, is your sister really missing?" Zhao Chi asked.
Song Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, why did he suddenly say sister?
Song Ning's palms were sweating.
She replied: "No, she and Weichen actually have a private connection, but she doesn't want to go back to the Song Mansion." She has a stubborn temper, and when she learns about her childhood, she resents her parents. ”
"Does it really look exactly like you?"
"It's different, she has a birthmark on her face."
Zhao Chi showed such an expression, and said, "When she comes back, she will also bring it to me to see how similar the twin brothers and sisters are." ”
Song Ning smiled yes, and Zhao Chi explained: "If you want to transfer the officials in Jinan, don't be humane to outsiders for the time being. ”
Song Ning should be: "Weichen doesn't say it to the outside world." ”
"Alright, you can go back." Zhao Chi said.
"Yes, Weichen retires!" Song Ning took the handwritten edict and retired.
As soon as the door opened, the cold wind blew and she suddenly shivered.
I have to say that this is the first time she has faced up to imperial power since she crossed over.
What is Mole Ant?
When he wants you dead, you think you can run away, but in fact you have no way out.
What's more, if her identity is revealed, she is wanted in the name of Song Ning...... What does she mean in the future?
Hiding for a lifetime?
She is also a person who knows the law and enforces the law, how can she be a fugitive?
Song Ning walked out of the palace and stopped to look back at the majestic imperial city.
After a long time, he turned back to the Song Mansion.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Duan's mother standing at the small door waiting for her: "Uncle...... If you have time, the old lady will ask you to speak. ”
This tone is very polite.
"Did you say what it was?" Song Ning walked forward, and Duan's mother followed behind, and whispered, "It should have something to do with the matter in your yamen." ”
"No, don't delay your efforts, you'll be back when you're done."
Song Ning stopped and looked at Duan's mother.
Duan's mother instinctively took a few steps back in fear: "What do you command?" ”
"Tell the old lady that I have been very busy in the past two days, and if it doesn't matter what she says, she will digest it by herself." Song Ning said and went straight to his yard.
Duan's mother shrank her hand and stood in place, not daring to chase.
Song Ning was on the trail, and met Song Shiqing and Song Shibai, who were kicking the shuttlecock with the maid, and the sister and brother saw her busy picking up the shuttlecock and standing on the side of the road with her head down.
Song Ning went straight over.
When she walked away, the two sisters and brothers breathed a long sigh of relief, and Song Shiqing pulled his younger brother and said, "I said that I won't let you play here, let's go back." ”
"Sister, isn't he really his brother?" Song Shibai couldn't tell Song Ning's gender from his appearance.
"Brother doesn't have such a bearing." Song Shiqing whispered to him, "Grandmother is very angry, her own brother...... Compared to the sister who came back outside......"
Song Shibai covered his mouth and smiled: "I lifted the table, and I endured it when I was sick." ”
"Shh Song Shiqing covered his brother's mouth, "How many times have I warned you, don't let people see what you're thinking outside." ”
Song Shibai smiled and nodded.
"That'...... So she'll always be living at home, right? After all, death doesn't work now. Song Shibai said.
"Why not?" Song Shiqing was strange, she didn't understand this.
"Sister, you're the stupidest." Song Shibai said, "As soon as I came back, I got sick and quickly died, saying that I was sick outside, and everyone would not pay attention to it, and I would die if I died." ”
But now she is the most famous person in the capital, and how many people are paying attention to him. She doesn't say that she is dead, but if she is sick, she has to have a bunch of doctors come to the door, and a bunch of people come to send famous doctors, regardless of the truth or falsehood, this is all dangerous. ”
Song Shiqing poked his younger brother's forehead: "You are smart, you actually think so much." However, if she had been an older brother...... I think it's good. ”
"I also think that if she ignores us, my brother will not, and he will show off to me how much money he has today and what good things he has bought."
"I don't like him."
Song Shiqing nodded, they didn't have too many extravagant hopes and requirements, "Song Shi'an" ignored them, it was their blessing.
"Go back, I'm going to talk back to Miss Pu, and she asked me to go to her house to play." I think it's good not to go for the past two days. Song Shiqing said.
"Why didn't she come to our house, isn't she the best friend of the county lord?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I have self-knowledge and won't mess around, don't worry. ”
------Off topic------
Today there are only two more, and I am willing to have a lot of words in these two more, quack.
