"Old General!"

Shi Wenzheng got up first, greeted a veteran in armor who was walking towards the Jinluan Palace, and immediately got down from the dragon chair and walked up quickly.

Everyone in the hall reacted one after another, and immediately followed Shi Wenzheng to greet the veteran.

"Congratulations to General Di on his triumph!"

Shi Wenzheng grabbed Di Danqing's hands and said excitedly: "General Di's trip has established great military achievements for Dawu, I really don't know how to reward the old general, so that I can represent the people of Dawu, thank the general for his contribution to protecting the country!" ”

Di Danqing said solemnly: "Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries." Going into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country is the responsibility of the old minister and the duty of the soldier. It is a duty of responsibility, how dare the old minister take credit? ”

As soon as the words fell, Di Danqing bent down and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The old minister doesn't dare to take credit, but he wants to ask the emperor and the quasi-old minister to assist King Zhao in thoroughly investigating the murder of Princess Zhao!" As Di Danqing spoke, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes. The tiger wept, it really hurt to the depths.

Shi Feiqing was also moved by Di Danqing's tears, and was willing to risk being accused of trespassing, so he hurriedly helped Di Danqing up, and asked: "The old general was originally scheduled to arrive at Le'an Mansion with the army three days later, but now the old general has appeared in the main hall, could it be that the old general let the young general lead the army according to the plan because of the death of his wife, and the old general led a few elites alone first, and hurried back to the city?" ”

Di Danqing nodded apologetically and said, "Lord, the old minister and the princess are familiar at first sight, and regard her as their own daughter. When he learned of the princess's death, the grief in the old minister's heart was actually not inferior to that of the prince! If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of the old minister, I really wanted to rush back to the city with the prince at that time...... It's not a secret, the old minister actually secretly blamed himself in his heart, if it weren't for the old minister to take the prince on the expedition, the old minister could stay with the princess in the palace, maybe the princess would be ......"

"Why should the old general blame himself? That was the king's decision. If you really want to blame yourself, it should also be the king's self-blame! ”

Di Danqing said that Shi Feiqing felt a sore spot in his heart.

Shi Feiqing also imagined in the dark all the time that if he hadn't gone out with Di Danqing, but had been guarding Gu Panxi in King Zhao's mansion, maybe Gu Panxi wouldn't have to go through this kind of experience where his life hung by a thread.

Unfortunately, any remorse is meaningless. Shi Feiqing is also aware of this. The only thing he has to do now is to help Gu Panxi complete her plan and get rid of the huge threat of the queen and Shi Youxing.

Whether in public or private, Shi Feiqing deeply felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

Di Danqing's military achievements are great, loyal and patriotic, for him to assist Shi Feiqing in thoroughly investigating Gu Panxi's murder, such a small request, Shi Wenzheng really has no reason to refuse, so he naturally nodded immediately.

At this moment, the arrival season brought a little more complicated weighing in the hearts of everyone in the hall.

Who is Di Danqing?

The first hero of Dawu.

The generalissimo in charge of the world's soldiers and horses.

The great hero who guarded the Dawu border pass and defeated the Hun invaders.

Such a perfect embodiment of countless feats, because of Gu Panxi's death, he rushed back to Le'an Mansion thousands of miles away with an old body over sixty years old, to help Shi Fei find out the real culprit.

What kind of friendship is this?

Everyone in the temple knew this.

Shi Feidu's face suddenly became gloomy. Fortunately, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Feiqing and Di Danqing right now, so they didn't notice the changes in the three princes.

The military department and Di Danqing were Shi Feidu's biggest heart disease, and he wanted to solve this heart disease by encircling Shi Feiqing, but now the heavy reality told him that this heart disease had become a nightmare unconsciously.

The head of the military department, Shang Shu Tian Gang, is a clear-eyed person. He has always been the first to look forward to Di Danqing, but out of infiltration of officialdom, he had to follow the gang and form a faction, and Di Danqing has never shown a clear attitude of standing in line, so it is logical for him to join Shi Feidu's camp with hundreds of officials.

But today, Di Danqing clearly showed his favor for Shi Feiqing, and Tian Gang would no longer pretend to be stupid and continue to be among Shi Feiqing's camp.

As Gu Panxi said, three of the six departments and three parts of the soldiers' punishment are not at your fingertips early in the morning. Now it is the first to realize the first one, the military department.

The scales of fate began to tilt, and the wheels of history began to roll.

"Bastard!"

Shi Feidu returned to the mansion, drew his long sword, and slashed in the study like crazy, sweeping his eyes everywhere he looked, but such an act of venting his anger did not let him out of the evil breath in his heart, but made him feel resentful.

Where is Shi Feiqing better than this king?!

Shi Feidao silently watched the whole process of Shi Feidu's anger on the side, and when he saw that he couldn't cut it, he finally stopped, and then said nonchalantly: "Third brother, are you so excited?" Di Danqing's little old man leans towards the fifth brother, you just lost the support of the military department, isn't there still the other five? Now there is a fire that burns his eyebrows, once the fifth brother finds out that he is good, he loses power, and no one in the court can compete with you. The fifth brother relies on an old man Di and a military department, can he compete with you? He still dares to rebel? ”

Shi Feidu really wanted to scold a stupid pig, but he lost the military department today, and he couldn't lose a simple-minded imperial brother with well-developed limbs.

"First of all, with General Di's character, even if he supports the fifth brother, he will never cooperate with the fifth brother to rebel."

"Isn't that all there is to it?" Shi Feidao clapped his hands leisurely, and was about to sit down to drink tea and eat pastries.

Shi Feidu's anger was aroused by his action again, he gritted his teeth for a while, took three deep breaths to calm himself down, and then explained as calmly and clearly as possible: "Second brother, this matter is not so simple. ”

"Huh?"

Shi Feidao opened his mouth wide, stunned for a moment, and then quickly chewed a few bites, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and asked, "Why is it not a simple method?" ”

Shi Feidu let out a long breath, sat down, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said carefully: "Today, the fifth brother grandly named Ma Rushu, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, to assist him, in order to force Gao Zhiyuan to express his position. This Ma Rushu is a proud protégé of Gao Zhiyuan. Shi Feiqing used him to take the opportunity to promote him. Chen Ziqing is already old, and the important position of the secretary of the Criminal Department will be vacated in less than two years. ”

"Third brother, don't you have an absolute advantage in this matter? That Chen Ziqing is obedient to you. He wants to choose a successor, and he still listens to you? The more Shi Feidao listened, the more confused he became.

"It would have been! Now, it's hard to say......"

Shi Feidu gritted his teeth.

"Second brother, do you remember my father's attitude towards Shi Youxing just now?"

"Remember! How can you not remember? Just because he said 'think twice', the dignified King Qin was slapped ten times in court, so shameful, I can't sleep tonight after tossing and turning! Ha ha! It seems that my father is already dissatisfied with this. ”

"That's right, my father should indeed be dissatisfied with Shi Youxing, and it is by no means a small dissatisfaction, otherwise my father would not be so shameless. Second brother, when these kinds of things are combined, didn't you come up with a reason? ”

Shi Feidao was honest, and shook his head without caring about his face, indicating that he had no ideas.

Shi Feidu really had the heart to kill, he forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, and took the trouble to explain: "Second brother, since my father is very dissatisfied with Shi Youxing, if the fifth brother really takes Ma Rushu to find out what Shi Youxing is doing this time, this will be a great achievement." Ma Rushu was originally one of the few young talents in the Criminal Department who was qualified to take over the Criminal Department, if he showed his face in this matter and made meritorious contributions, and won the blue eyes of his father, then he would be recommended by the fifth brother and General Di. It's hard for me not to believe that Ma Rushu will take over the Punishment Department smoothly. ”

Shi Feidao still didn't understand the true meaning of Shi Feidu's words, and said in a stunned voice: "No, the third brother, the fifth brother and the old man Di can recommend Ma Rushu, and you and Chen Ziqing's old ghost can also jointly recommend one person!" Two-on-two, evenly matched, you don't have to worry so much. ”

Can Di Danqing and Chen Ziqing be compared?!

Shi Feidu really wanted to shout this sentence at a volume of 100 decibels, but he still held back. With the intelligence of the time, it is really difficult for him to consider various trade-offs and balances, so it is better to convince him with a simple number comparison.

"The second brother is right, if it's just like this, I shouldn't worry too much about the two-to-two recommendation. But the problem is that there is also the variable of Gao Zhiyuan. Gao Zhiyuan has always been at odds with Tang Zhengde. Tang Zhengde relied on his relationship with me to suppress him everywhere, Gao Zhiyuan was dissatisfied for a long time, but for my sake, he didn't show it. But in case, his protégé Ma Rushu has the opportunity to take the position, and he, the secretary of the ministry, is also qualified to express his position. In such a situation, he really had no reason not to join the fifth brother and General Di Lao to recommend Ma Rushu together, and then switch to the fifth brother! ”

Shi Feidu raised his left and right hands, raised three fingers on his left hand, and two fingers on his right hand, and then touched each other violently.

"Three against two. Three-on-two! In this competition for the position of the new secretary of the Criminal Department, I fell behind. Second brother, do you understand? ”

After that, Shi Feidu began to think about the stunned Shi Feidao again.

"Because of Di Danqing, I lost my military department; Because of Ma Rushu, I lost the criminal department; Because of Gao Zhiyuan, I lost my ministry. Among the six departments, I lost three, and these three are all important departments with real power. Second brother, I am not qualified to inherit the unification, and I am really in jeopardy! ”

Only then did Shi Feidao realize the seriousness of the problem, and as soon as he let go of the hand holding the teacup, the teacup fell off his hand and smashed it on the ground.

It's just that here and now, what is smashed, how much more than a teacup here?
