Chapter 319 Dilemma

"Zheng Gui"

Qin Zhao let out a long sigh, but there was only that.

Zheng Gui looked at the man with white hair on his sideburns, and his nose was sour.

He was an iron-blooded man who killed on the battlefield, he had shed blood, but he had not shed tears, but today, all of a sudden, his eye sockets were hot.

It turns out that His Highness, who fought together in the north and south in the past and killed countless enemies, has become a hero.

His Royal Highness's Zheng Gui, how much helplessness, how much remorse and bitterness, he understands, he understands everything, and in this world, up to now, there is only one him who really understands His Highness.

In the early years, he never understood why His Royal Highness was becoming more and more cold to the princess, and he was always indifferent to the prince, except for the favor of the county lord...... No, not really.

His Royal Highness's love for the county lord has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it has almost become a habit, and over the years, His Royal Highness has begun to be less arrogant than the county lord, at least the county lord has made a mistake, and His Royal Highness is not blindly protecting and shielding.

He never figured it out, let alone felt that all this was because of Mrs. Sun, after all, after so many years, His Highness began to become like this.

After that, His Highness slowly, silently, and more and more unsmiling, and even if the invitation was placed, His Highness became more and more lazy to deal with the banquet outside, and he was not even willing to be perfunctory.

A few months ago, he was even thinking that maybe it was the suspicion and jealousy of the Son of Heaven for no reason, even if the emperor had not done anything to the Guangyang Palace, but that suspicion was always there, and His Royal Highness had always seen it in his eyes, and it was because His Royal Highness was cold that it would become like this.

However, it was not until today that Zheng Gui completely understood.

People say that there are fewer cups of wine for a thousand confidants, and there is no speculation in more than half a sentence, which is not bad at all.

No one can see the bitterness in His Highness's heart, let alone understand His Highness's difficulties.

The court, the palace, the way of the world......

Zheng Gui suddenly remembered the box he saw in the study of the palace last time......

His throat rolled, and he tightened for a while: "Your Highness, you are like this, I look uncomfortable." ”

Qin Zhao smiled, that kind of bitter smile, which made people feel painful: "Uncomfortable? Back then, we were bleeding and wounded on the battlefield, and you didn't say anything like that. ”

Yes, I didn't say it at the time, because His Highness will not be defeated, he is a mall general, he is undefeated in exchanges, the enemy may be able to hurt him, but it is impossible to kill him.

His Royal Highness will be in pain when he is injured, but he also knows that when His Royal Highness heals from his injuries, regroupes, and works hard, he can still bring his brothers back in style.

No wonder it is said that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Zheng Gui pursed his lips, he really couldn't laugh: "Your Highness, in fact, I have advised you before, don't investigate further, in the end, only you will be hurt." ”

"Yes, I am the only one who hurts, after all, I can't do anything to Wei Ye, and I can't do anything to Luan'er. I knew it was me and her child, but I couldn't recognize each other, and I couldn't even go to Qizhou to see her......" Qin Zhao became a little excited, "Do you remember? It is said outside that the Wei family is extremely beautiful, and his mother is very imaginary between his eyebrows and eyes. Zheng Gui, that's my child, but I can't ......"

They clenched their fists: "But Zheng Gui, how can you tell me not to check?" Wei Ye has done so many wrong things, his hands are stained with so much blood, and he has carried so many lives, he has lived to this day, and he has lived to this day in style. I don't care about others, but what about Sun? You asked me what I wanted to do next."

Qin Zhao retracted, and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Gui was shocked: "Your Highness doesn't want to do something to the Wei family, right?" ”

"I owed Wei Ye a great favor back then, so he wanted to be an imperial businessman and wanted to squeeze out the Chen family, I helped, and also ensured him smooth sailing in the capital, no one dared to underestimate him, and no one dared to shadow him behind his back. But fourteen years have passed, and I have repaid him for this favor, and the rest is time to settle the debts he owes! ”

Qin Zhao clenched his fists and slammed it on the table in front of him: "Wei Ye has been busy with the Wei family's business over the years, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, I remember, a few months ago, didn't he just go to several state capitals around Yangzhou and collect a few kilns, and now the output of porcelain is larger, the quantity is more and the quality is good, and the silver of the white flowers has entered the Wei family's account, and he can be described as a spring breeze?" ”

Zheng Gui's face turned pale: "But Your Highness, the second ......"

He didn't say a word to the second girl, but he saw Qin Zhao's brows almost invisibly closed, so he simply changed his words: "The little county lord is still in the Wei family, and now he is still Wei Ye's daughter, you want to rectify the Wei family's business, it's not a good thing for the little county lord, isn't it?" And you didn't listen to me finish what I said, when I met Qi Niang in prison, I probably asked, why did something happen to the Wei family this time, and why did Guo Min'an, that person, take the daughter of the Wei family to prison, guess what? ”

Qin Zhao was stunned in the end.

I forgot about it.

He looked at Zheng Gui expressionlessly: "You say, don't sell Guanzi." ”

"When the county lord went to Qizhou before, he left his jade pendant to the little county lord, I don't know why, Qi Niang also asked, the little county lord didn't tell her, the gods chattered, and at that time, the county lord gave the jade pendant to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Qi to transfer it to the little county lord, and this time the Wei family had an accident, because they lost the county lord's jade pendant, but someone sent a letter to the government and sued the Wei family. Your Royal Highness, you know that the county lord's jade pendant is something important, where does Guo Minan dare to slack off? ”

As he spoke, he sighed: "That's it, after coming and going, the Wei family is unlucky, and the female relatives of the family are also unlucky." However, after I was released from prison, I also paid attention to inquiring, and on the day His Royal Highness King Qi returned to the city, Guo Min'an removed all the officials and officials who were surrounding the Wei Mansion, probably ...... probably still can't stand the majesty of His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

"Xin'er's jade pendant?" Qin Zhao almost exclaimed, "She's just messing around!" Is the jade pendant a casual gift? If it is really lost outside, Your Majesty will investigate it, and the palace will be unlucky with it! ”

If you really want to investigate it, this crime can be big or small, not that he Guangyang Mansion must not be able to afford it, but it is always a big trouble.

He has been indulging this daughter all these years, and he has really made her more and more confused, he doesn't think about anything when he does things, he doesn't know how to look ahead, and he doesn't think about the consequences at all!

Zheng Gui saw that he was angry, and hurriedly persuaded a few more words: "Your Highness will be angry this time, it will not help, since the matter has already happened, Guo Min'an will always think of finding the jade pendant back, even His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it is impossible to watch it." ”

Yes, it is impossible for Li Yan to see the Wei family's bad luck and cause Wei Luan, although in this matter, it may be Wei Luan who has affected the Wei family.

But what Zheng Gui meant, Qin Zhao understood at once.

"Are you afraid that if I make a move against the Wei family, Li Yan will secretly protect you...... No," he suddenly denied his previous words, his eyes were firm, "According to Li Yan's temperament, he dared to put pressure on Guo Min'an clearly, and asked Guo Min'an to remove the officials outside the Wei family, according to what you said, this incident happened for two months, and in these two months, there was no movement in the capital, although Qizhou City has legends and everything, but it is still calm, it can be seen that Li Yan has already secretly put pressure on Guo Min'an, and he is not allowed to report this matter to the capital without authorization, which is already clearly going back to protect the Wei family." ”

Zheng Gui said yes: "Such a big matter, His Royal Highness the King of Qi protects the Wei family, and he is not merciless, you now want to rectify the Wei family and move their business, you say, the little county lord Dan Fan goes to His Royal Highness the King of Qi to say a few words, can His Royal Highness not care about this matter?" Besides, His Royal Highness King Qi's methods are probably much more clever than you thought before, otherwise this time in the Qizhou prison, he would not have been able to detain me quietly for so long, until I was released, I didn't figure out what was going on, and until now, we don't know what His Royal Highness King Qi wants to do. ”

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, the most taboo thing for a soldier is that people have already figured out your bottom, but you can't see the skin of others, which feels very bad, like the enemy is dark and I am clear.

Qin Zhao paused and fell into silence, and there was a dead silence in the study for a moment.

He had to admit that what Zheng Gui said made sense.

Li Yan can do that for Wei Luan to be able to do that, how important the jade pendant is, he understands better than anyone else, but he still pressures Guo Min'an, does not allow Guo Min'an to report, and no one is even alarmed, and he can still keep the Wei family thorough, and he is not even allowed to monitor.

If someone moves the Wei family's business, Wei Ye and their father and son beg Li Yan, it may be useless, but Wei Luan will definitely be useful if she speaks, she doesn't even need to cry, as long as she frowns and says a few words about the recent unsatisfactory things in the family that annoy her, Li Yan will rush to investigate, and rush to solve those troubles for the Wei family.

In this matter, he couldn't swallow this breath, but Li Yan was indeed a trouble.

Qin Zhao was silent for a long time, so silent that even Zheng Gui thought that he would give up this thought and idea, and find another way to vent this breath, but he opened his mouth in a cold voice: "Then let Li Yan know what Wei Ye has done, and let him know whose child Luan'er is, who he should protect, who he should aspire towards!" ”

Zheng Gui was taken aback, and even almost got up on the case.

Fortunately, he has been by Qin Zhao's side all these years, and he is too accustomed to being a minion, rather than a subordinate who can discuss the arrangement of troops with Qin Zhao in the past.

He swallowed his saliva and forced himself to endure: "Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about right now?" ”

"Then why do you think that Li Yan must not know about this matter?" Qin Zhao didn't answer the rhetorical question, now that he had come up with a solution, his eyebrows naturally relaxed, "I think it's okay to let Li Yan know." In his eyes, everything Luan'er did was right, and it had nothing to do with Luan'er. Telling him these is not to embarrass him, let alone that the Guangyang Mansion needs him King Qi to help him, but just to figure out whether the Wei family is worth his maintenance, and whether Wei Ye is worth his favoritism! ”

The corners of his lips raised, and the arc was all mocking: "According to this situation, I expect that Li Yan must have Luan'er, even if Luan'er's background is slightly insufficient, but as long as Li Yan can convince the Queen Mother, this Princess Qi must be Luan'er's, and no one can snatch it away." Could it be that one day in the future, the Son of Heaven will give marriage, let Luan'er marry into the palace of the king of Qi, and ask Li Yan to recognize Wei Ye as this old Taishan? Zheng Gui, take a look, what has Wei Ye done over the years? ”

As he spoke, he sneered: "What I got from me, what I got from Li Yan, he has been a fox and a fake tiger for so many years, and now, it is time to be sober." ”

Zheng Gui didn't know what to say for a while.

He seemed to be persuaded by His Highness, but he always felt that this matter should not have developed like this.

He looked at His Royal Highness's demeanor when he talked about Princess Qi, as if he had completely forgotten the county lord......

Zheng Gui hesitated for a long time: "Your Highness, have you thought about the situation of the little county lord?" ”

Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and Zheng Gui saw that he was speechless, so he continued in a dull manner: "Wei Ye is a businessman, and he is a very successful businessman, everything around him is capital that he can use, just like the matter of you and Mrs. Sun back then, isn't it the capital of his superiority?" If it weren't for the fact that you felt indebted to him, why did he become an imperial businessman, why did he squeeze out the Chen family, which had a shallow foundation, and why did he work steadily in the capital in the next few years, and he was proud everywhere? So Your Highness, have you ever thought about whether he really loves and pities the little county lord for more than ten years, and treats the little county lord as a treasure in the palm of his hand, or does he have other plans? ”

Zheng Gui said and shook his head to himself: "The little county lord is not his flesh and blood, you can take a look at the children of the Wei family, except for Wei Ziyan, the eldest son, who is really valued and cherished by Wei Ye, when they were still in Beijing, the eldest girl of the Wei family, the eldest daughter of the wife, isn't the status like that?" How could Wei Ye have seen this eldest daughter in his eyes? His own flesh and blood are still like this, little county lord, why? ”

Yes, Wei Luan, why?

Qin Zhao's face sank, and his expression was awe-inspiring: "I'm afraid that she has my blood on her body, and it is Li Yan's friendship for her." He has spoiled Luan'er since he was a child, and Luan'er thought that he, who was a father, was very good to her, and when she grew up, got married, and really became the princess of Qi, when she came, she would be towards Wei Ye and help the Wei family. ”

"Yes." Zheng Gui said categorically, "Then if one day, Wei Ye suddenly discovers that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is no longer partial to the Wei family, even if there is a little county lord, it will no longer help, I can't say, His Royal Highness the King of Qi knows the truth, and he will knock on the side and persuade the little county lord to worry less about these things, slowly, the little county lord She put her hand away, and just asked, Your Highness, what do you think, Wei Ye will do to the little county lord?" ”
