Chapter 296: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
Looking at the empty room, Xu Huaiqing felt as if his heart was grabbed by a pair of big hands, making him breathless.
I knew that I should have explained it to Bai Jiujiu, but she misunderstood, but now it's okay, and she can't even find anyone.
Xu Huaiqing marked all the routes that Bai Jiujiu might leave and the places where he might go, and as the marks on the map were erased one by one, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.
Bai Jiujiu, shouldn't something really happen?
This time, the emperor was very satisfied with the performance of the King of Wei, he was able to lie dormant when something happened, find the enemy's weak point, and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent. This is the best heir in his mind, quite his style back then.
"Gonggong Li, you say, who among my sons is the most suitable to be the emperor?" Casually drew a circle on the excerpt, and the emperor asked casually.
These officials are becoming more and more inactive, and every day they are such unnutritious excerpts, praising his merits.
Impatiently throwing the fold aside, the emperor raised his eyes to look at Gonggong Li with interest.
"Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, so there is no need to think about this matter so early." Gonggong Li was so frightened that he hurriedly said a pertinent sentence, this kind of view involving the succession to the throne is not right, but he will lose his head.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, I'm really old, I can't admit it!" The Emperor squinted at him with a smirk. This Li Wei has followed him since he was in the palace, and if there is anyone else who can trust the emperor who has been in a high position for a long time, Li Wei is the first to bear the brunt.
Knowing that the other party would not blame himself, Gonggong Li pondered for a moment, "Although the prince is decisive, he is too aggressive, King Wei is resourceful, but unfortunately he is too gentle in handling things, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, it is fine, in troubled times, there is no need for such an emperor." As seen by the minions, both of them have their own merits. ”
"Troubled times?" The emperor snorted lightly, and instantly released the coercion around him, "My country will never have troubled times!" ”
Gonggong Li was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the ground with his head, and his forehead continued to sweat. I don't know how long it took, sitting on the top of the emperor, said leisurely, "Forget it, the children are still young, let them temper and temper first." Arise, and kneel before me, without moving. ”
"Yes." Gonggong Li breathed a sigh of relief, got up and went to the side to study the ink. Although the emperor said so, he didn't dare to really take the other party's words seriously. The emperor's mind is unpredictable, and if he is not careful, he will never recover.
After regaining the emperor's trust, the king of Wei did not show off his might as others thought, but restrained his body and mind and acted more carefully. He was well aware that this was only the beginning of a campaign. After all, it is not himself who is sitting on the throne of the crown prince now.
Although Xu Huaiqing was disturbed by Bai Jiujiu's departure, he was not a person who would delay official affairs for the sake of his children's personal affairs, so he wrote a very detailed strategy about the prince and submitted it to King Wei.
"If you're not on my side, I'm afraid I really can't keep you." King Wei quipped.
Xu Huaiqing shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
The two of them dealt a severe blow to the prince's power, and the courtiers who defended the prince were also implicated. The prince is a big injury to his vitality!
When he returned, he noticed that something was wrong, and no one knew where the classified documents were hidden except for himself. As for that little guy, the two are usually more cautious when they meet, how can they be noticed by King Wei? Could it be that there are their spies by their side?
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but shudder, and looked at the front with a grim look, it seems that it is time for the East Palace to be cleaned.
Knowing that the prince was vigorously searching for the spies in the palace, the king of Wei was playing chess with Baili Su in the old god, and his face did not show any panic.
"It seems that Brother Baili is going to be exposed, it's a pity." Kuroko landed on the chessboard and cornered Shiroko. King Wei leaned over slightly, raising his hand to disrupt the chess game.
"Since it's all dark chess, you can't give it up until you complete your mission, don't worry, I've already figured out a way." The slender fingers pinched the white chess pieces and fell them at will, and the white pieces on the chessboard were desperate, and the frozen situation was suddenly revitalized.
King Wei paused, then straightened his back, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he really didn't look at the wrong person. The night is dark, and the game has just begun.
Within a few days, the prince found a scapegoat,
Baili Su completed the task assigned by King Wei, and also began to look for Bai Jiujiu's traces, in fact, when he heard the news of the other party's disappearance, he was no less worried than Xu Huaiqing.
"Bai Jiujiu's girl has always had a lot of ghost ideas, and if she likes her, she can protect herself." Faced with clueless clues, he could only look forward to it so deceptively.
The situation in the court slowly stabilized, and when King Wei saw that the time was ripe, he once again mentioned the right to foreign trade.
"Father, my son has something to do."
The prince has restrained a lot since he was grounded, because he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in King Wei's gourd, so when he saw the other party's invitation, he didn't open his mouth to stop it, but just glanced at him gloomily.
"Please give Han Zhaoyin the right to trade with my father, now that foreign trade is developed, Han Zhaoyin's business is booming again, and I believe that he will be able to contribute to the economy of my Great Zhou by negotiating with foreign businessmen."
The crown prince didn't expect King Wei to bring up this matter, so he immediately knelt down and said, "This matter must not be done." ”
"Why not?"
"Han Zhaoyin's reputation has been circulating for a long time, if he is given foreign trade rights again, won't it make neighboring countries see a joke?"
"The prince is too worried, doing business depends on the mind, and neighboring countries are not without such precedents, so why joke about it?" King Wei quietly blocked back.
The crown prince wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the emperor, "Enough, I think what King Wei said is very reasonable, so let's do what he wants!" ”
"Yes, Father." King Wei saluted respectfully, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Although the prince was unwilling, with the emperor's mountain pressing on his head, it was impossible for him to resist, so he could only swallow this breath reluctantly.
He glared at King Wei fiercely, who knew that the other party didn't want to pay attention to his childish behavior, but instead smiled back, distorting his angry facial features.
At this time, Gonggong Li came over and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty wants to ask you to play a game of chess. ”
"Okay, I'll go."
The crown prince was already angry because of the foreign trade right, and when he saw this, he was even more red-eyed, so he stopped in front of Gonggong Li regardless of it, "I happen to be free today, why don't you accompany King Wei together?" ”
