Qingrong returned to Fengguo Mansion, but when he saw Runrong and the county lord of Huatang, they were all worried.

Mrs. Fengguo was also there, and when she saw Qingrong coming, she looked at her with some complaints, and said, "You are the most ambitious, and you haven't said anything about such a big thing as Runrong." ”

Qingrong knew that Mrs. Fengguo had to be that she didn't care about Runrong's dealings with the five princes, so she hung her head apologetically and didn't dare to explain anything to Mrs. Fengguo.

The lord of Huatang County interrupted, pulled Qingrong and sat down and said: "Concubine Li Guifei is in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and she is asking for her nephew to marry Runrong." ”

Qingrong was shocked and said, "Nephew? ”

Mrs. Fengguo nodded and said, "The eldest son of the servant of the ministry, he is married to the sister of Concubine Li Guifei, the serious Li family. ”

Qingrong couldn't help frowning, and wondered: "What kind of fun is Concubine Li here to make?" ”

Mrs. Fengguo looked at Qingrong thoughtfully, and said, "When you thought of this plan for the families of military martyrs, didn't you have any other plans?" ”

Qingrong seemed to understand something, shook his head, and said, "It was Yuan Heng who told me, I thought I could do it first, and I just happened to promote the Evergreen Plan and the Half-Day Plan together." Later, I realized that the plan to help the families of the martyrs of the army was very popular. ”

"Not only is it popular, but it is also very popular with the military" Mrs. Fengguo's expression was solemn, and she said slowly: "It seems that this matter is indeed the decision of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but everyone knows in their hearts that it is Huatang and you who are doing it." Several things done by the foundation have won the support of the people, and I have heard that there are many rumors among the people. With such a big help, Concubine Li Guifei is bound to not let the queen's side benefit, her power wants to infiltrate, and the best way is, of course, that someone from their family marries Runrong. ”

The county lord of Huatang sneered: "Now that the Li family has no boys of the right age, either the eldest one is married, or he is four or five years younger than Runrong, so he can only help her nephew choose." ”

Qingrong looked at Mrs. Fengguo with concern and asked, "I just don't know what the attitude of the Queen Mother and the Emperor is at the moment." ”

Mrs. Fengguo said: "Because I hastily gave you a marriage, the Queen Mother told me about this in advance." The emperor is still hesitating, but he is afraid that Concubine Li Guifei will say a few more words, and the marriage will be decided. "Mrs. Bongkook is not optimistic.

Runrong gritted his teeth and said, "If the emperor really gives me a marriage, I would rather die than marry me." ”

Lord Huatang's face sank, and he said, "What nonsense! It's better to die than to live, besides, the emperor has given it once, and this time I won't force you again without giving my wife face. ”

Runrong bit her lip tightly, with a broken expression.

Qingrong is very powerless, and Li Guifei is only afraid that she will be very big.

"It's useless to say that this is all going to be useless at the moment, but it's better to think about what to do." Although Qingrong said clearly, she was also very confused, and she couldn't think of any better way at all.

Runrong looked at Qingrong for help, "You have always had the most ideas, you have to think of a way." ”

Qingrong didn't say what was in his heart, but comforted Runrong and said, "You let me think about it, maybe I will have an idea if I think about it." ”

Lord Huatang said: "If Runrong already has a marriage contract, they can't have children. ”

Mrs. Fengguo shook her head, "If you really do this, wouldn't it be openly against the emperor and Concubine Li?" It's self-defeating. ”

Qingrong sighed faintly and said, "If the emperor doesn't listen to Concubine Li, it will be good." ”

Several people thought about it together, but they couldn't come up with a result, and Mrs. Fengguo finally said: "It's really not good, I want to drag it back first, and then test what the queen mother and the emperor mean." ”

Qingrong looked at Mrs. Fengguo and asked her curiously: "In the past, the Queen Mother suffered a lot because of the rebellion of the demon queen, and she should understand that the emperor should not favor Li Guifei alone." ”

Mrs. Fengguo shook her head helplessly, and said: "Li Guifei followed the emperor when she was in the cold palace, although the queen mother knew that it was not good to be alone, but Li Guifei was different from the demon queen, and Li Guifei had no backstage. ”

The county lord of Huatang couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "Concubine Li's family is just an official who spends money to donate sesame mung beans, and the Li family has been on the rise over the years, and now most of the court and half of the civil officials are in the hands of their Li family." The emperor and the queen mother still didn't take the Li family in their eyes. ”

Mrs. Fengguo shook her head and said with a wry smile: "In the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, these are all given to Concubine Li Guifei, and there is no sense of threat at all." The Song family has been in the army for generations, and the military power and the people's hearts make the queen mother and the emperor feel even more afraid. ”

Look, this is the psychological shadow.

However, Concubine Li Guifei has guarded against arrogance and rashness over the years, and the Li family has developed so much, and she has not let the queen mother and the emperor mention her vigilance, which shows that her scheming is deep.

When he returned to the Guogong Mansion, Qingrong was full of thoughts about how to make the emperor and the queen mother have a crisis of confidence in Li Guifei?

To put it bluntly, they believe in Li Guifei so much, that is, they think that everything Li Guifei gave them, and Li Guifei and the Li family are so well-behaved, they must be allowed by the emperor and the queen mother, and there is no threat.

But what if the emperor found out that everything he gave to Concubine Li now threatened himself?

Qingrong thought like this, and didn't pay attention to when Song Zhao entered the house.

Song Zhao looked at Qingrong's sad face and said curiously, "What do you think?" ”

Qingrong barely came back to his senses, frowned and looked at Song Zhao, feeling even more upset, and directly turned over lazily, burying his head in the cushion of the chaise longue.

Song Zhao was even more curious, and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, it can be seen that it is a big event that the sky has fallen." ”

Qingrong Mumu said: "It's not a big event that the sky is falling, it's about to shake the country!" ”

Song Zhao was stunned and said in surprise: "You, how do you know what I'm going to do?" ”

Qingrong was also shocked, she didn't expect that these two gossips seemed to have tricked Song Zhao into some secrets.

She didn't turn around, and said: "You work hard in the study day and night, it's impossible for me to read a book, not to mention that our doorman is accompanied by a day and night, so it can be seen that there is nothing good to study behind closed doors, I can just let people follow and take a look, and I can watch eight or nine without leaving ten." ”

Song Zhao didn't want to deliberately hide it from Qingrong, he also broke this matter suddenly, and was thinking about what to do, but now that he heard Qingrong take the initiative to mention it, it happened to have more people to discuss.

Song Zhao went to pull Qingrong's arm and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, you sit up, I'll tell you carefully." ”

Qingrong was pulled by Song Zhao to sit up, and looked at Song Zhao for a long time.

Song Zhaofang said: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, an imperial doctor died in the palace, and within a month's effort, several little eunuchs died one after another, all of whom were from the imperial pharmacy. The person sent by my aunt said that the imperial hospital and the imperial pharmacy were probably something wrong. ”

Qingrong didn't think it was strange, and said, "Isn't there less cat in the palace?" ”

Song Zhao smiled: "What did I think at first, who knew that one day I went to the city with Lu Ji, guess what I saw?" ”

Qingrong cooperated with curiosity and asked, "What do you see?" ”

Song Zhao whispered: "Imperial tribute medicine." ”

Qingrong felt even more magical, "Do you still know the royal tribute medicine?" ”

Song Zhao said: "I saw rhino horns, as well as tribute beads and the like, there are a lot of them on the left and right, and it is impossible for ordinary shops to get them." ”

Qingrong has also been an imperial businessman for more than a year, so he naturally knows that rhino horns can only be used by the royal family.

Qingrong sensitively grasped the crux of the problem and said, "What does that shop do, which one is so bold." ”

Song Zhao looked up and whispered: "That shop is closed all day long, and it is not open to the public at all." I let people stare at it for nearly a month, and then I saw that a Taoist priest had just entered, and there were many people guarding inside, and my people couldn't get in. ”

Qingrong heard him say a few words, and quickly thought of one thing, "The emperor's birthday is coming." ”

Song Zhao smiled and sighed: "Sure enough, he is a smart and clever person, judging from the current situation, he is probably thinking about alchemy." ”

Qingrong took a deep breath and said, "Who knows?" ”

Song Zhao's eyes were dark, and he said slowly: "Sixth prince, the people in his mansion are secretly looking for Dao immortals. ”

Qingrong immediately deflated and said, "Then I'm afraid your strength will be in vain, if the emperor really knows that the six princes have embezzled the tribute alchemy given by the emperor, he is only afraid that he will reward him and will not punish him." Unless this pill eats someone to death, the emperor may be afraid. ”

Qingrong said casually, but Song Zhao's eyes deepened a little, and he didn't speak quietly.

"Zhang Luo, is there only the sixth prince who does these things? Is there anyone else? Qingrong prayed silently in his heart that Concubine Li's nephews and nephews would be involved, and if they appropriated a little more, Runrong's problem would be solved.

Song Zhao pursed his lips and shook his head, his face was like a frosted eggplant again, and he lost his spirit, so he only asked Song Zhao, "What are you going to do?" Don't forget, before the emperor toured the south, Hou Lu was corrupt. The result of your murder with a knife is not optimistic! ”

Song Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and said: "Hou Lu's corruption is not painful for the emperor, I just want to remind the emperor that Concubine Li has five sons, and these five sons are young and strong, and they are very favored by him." ”

Qingrong stared at Song Zhao's cunning fox-like face, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Song Zhao, who got out of the quagmire called Guan Heqiu, seems to have changed back to the shrewd and scheming prince of Wei during the southern tour.

Song Zhao didn't say more, and Qingrong didn't ask more, but just expressed strong support for Song Zhao's next moves, wishing him success and a solution to Runrong's dilemma.

After that, Qingrong continued to conscientiously promote the assistance program for the families of military martyrs in the foundation.

Since Mrs. Fengguo told her about the problem of the military and the people's hearts, Qingrong felt that she wanted to carry out the original plan of the military martyrs on a larger scale, and spread to more Daliang's territory within one or two years.

But this has a problem, the corruption problem in the intermediate link is unavoidable and difficult to solve, which is a headache for her.

On the other side, Song Zhao didn't know what he had done secretly, and within a few days, Qingrong heard that someone in the court had spoken and asked the emperor to set up a prince.

Since ancient times, it has not been a good thing to establish a prince. Discord of opinion, easy to fight.

Even though most of the emperor's sons are born to Concubine Li Guifei, the prince who doesn't want to be the emperor is not a good prince, and the second prince obviously has some ideas about the matter of setting up a prince on the side.

As soon as the request for the crown prince was spoken, the situation of the civil officials of the Great Liang court was divided into two sets of confrontations, one wave mainly promoted the eldest prince, and the other wave frantically called for the second prince.
