King Ning's deeds of acting vigorously in Shu County were all spread to Chang'an City as if they had wings, Qin Heng was relieved to hear it, and praised it in the court, and even took Qin Xu's mother Qi Guifei with a lot of rewards.

Jiang Yan was happy, the prince did his errand beautifully, and he was praised by the saint and complimented by officials, which are all stepping stones that must be on the road in the future. Seeing that the crown prince is losing power day by day, and King An, as the eldest son, has not made any achievements so far, the prince is now in the middle of the court, how can he not be happy?

Some people rejoice, and of course some people are worried.

Seeing that the summer heat is gradually subsiding, the autumn wind is blowing through the courtyard, and the people in the house are only wearing a single coat, and I feel a little cold at this time.

It's just that the coldness on his body was quickly suppressed by the fire in his heart, and the harsh sound suddenly sounded, and the shattered porcelain pieces exploded on the ground, this was the first set of high-grade porcelain that Qin Chong didn't know.

"If you fall again, it's gone!" In the past few days, all the people have complained, and the letters from Shu County are more than three times more than usual, Chu Qiu is already annoyed, and the grasshoppers tied together around him are still jumping old, and they are not enough to succeed and lose things, and their temper is still big, and this anger is very angry, regardless of whether he is a prince or not, he shouted: "A little prince knows that he has an iron fist, and you can't bear a little bit of it?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and kicked away the porcelain piece that fell at his feet: "This is sent by Jiangnan, right?" 100 gold? Daughter? Prince, how many more can you fall? Let's fall together, anyway, no one dares to give gifts for a few days, and the old minister of Ming'er will give you a set of copper, and the minions with broken mouths will be passed out and said that you are tyrannical! ”

Obviously, the sandalwood in the incense burner on the table is light and smoky, which should give people a calm breath, but at this moment, it seems to have lost its effect, and it can't suppress the anger of the two.

Qin Chong lifted the tea table on the side with one palm, rolled down with the incense burner, and sprinkled incense ashes on the ground. Qin Chong stood up regardless of it, stepped over the endgame all over the ground, looked down at the prime ministers of the two dynasties, and trembled with anger: "Prime minister!" ”

Chu Qiu thinks that he has been restrained enough over the years, looking at the face of him as the prince and the only concubine of the saint, taking charge of the overall situation for him, holding the line for him, so he didn't catch much, just watching him get angry and scold people and smash the cup. If he changes to someone else, with his temper that even the emperor dared to use in his early years, where can he let it go.

"Prince, you are also the prince, if you are not the prince, who will see your face?" Chu Qiu glanced up at the person, his gaze became more and more sharp, it was obvious that Qin Chong was condescending, but he could reveal his full body momentum just by sitting. "The account book in King Ning's hand has your dirty water on it, but there is no old minister."

Chu Qiu's tone was provocative when he said this, to put it bluntly, if the matter came out and the prince fell, his position as prime minister of Chu Qiu would still be as stable as a mountain.

The two of them sat and stood like this, but their arrogance was clearly reversed, and now the standing prince was subject to the sitting prime minister.

Chu Qiu was right, the people below were looking at his status as the crown prince before they scolded him, if you really want to talk about his feelings, there is nothing to do with him Qin Chong.

He was unwilling, overwhelmed, and angry at the same time.

He was favored when the queen mother was there, and when the queen mother went, he was more loved by his father, and it has been more than ten years since then, even his father, who controls the life and death of people in the world, spoils him and obeys him, when has he been coerced like this?

If Qin Heng could see the confrontation between the two at this time, he would definitely be happy. How many times did he tell the prince not to get too close to the prime minister, and how many times did he tell the prince to learn to weigh and learn to control his courtiers, this person is just stubborn, or his heart is too big, and he can't listen to it.

"Prime Minister! You've been assisting Gu for ten years...... Is this to pick a pick? Qin Chong took a few steps back and sat back in his seat. He relented for the first time, but after softening, he revealed his prototype: "You want to abandon me and follow King An?" Or is he the king of Ning who is in the limelight? Squeeze under one roof with Lord Jiang? ”

said and sneered: "Do you think that which of the two of them can tolerate you?" ”

Chu Qiu smiled angrily, shook his head slowly, and exhaled a long breath. As if he had thought deeply, he stood up and turned his back to the person. "The old minister is old, and if you can't wait for that time, the prince is different, you are at a loss than the old minister." ”

Seeing people raise their legs and leave, Qin Chong was stunned, neither was he scolded nor retained. It stands to reason that this time Chu Qiu was bold, speaking rudely, and acting even more rudely, but Qin Chong couldn't deal with him. Although Qin Chong is a monarch and the prime minister is a minister, but he is only a prince, and it is impossible for his father to behead the prime minister when he comes, and he is suffocated in his throat in one breath, and he almost faints with a black eye.

Listening to the rustling sound of the fallen leaves swept by the subordinates, Qin Chong had mixed feelings in his heart.

Chu Qiu had a big temper today, but he said an honest thing.

Qin Xu can establish authority in officialdom as a prince, but he has lived in the shadow of the prime minister for so many years, is he using the prime minister, or is the prime minister using him?

"Go, call Yuan Fei!"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and thought it was behind the ear. "Master, you say...... Who? ”

"Yuan Peng." Qin Chong slammed the table beside him, "Yuan Peng of the Terracotta Division!" ”

The golden cinnamon planted last year on the Anwang Mansion has reached the flowering season, the fragrance of the osmanthus in the courtyard does not feel greasy, the sweet fragrance is just right, the golden cinnamon of a tree stretches out to the hexagonal pavilion, and the red vermilion lacquer is staggered, it seems that the Anwang Mansion is particularly exquisite.

It was evening, Chen Yu finished cleaning up the mess of the household, and as soon as he came out of the yamen, he saw someone inviting him to King An's mansion, and he came.

Xue Ji came from his mansion and came earlier, and was sitting on the right side at this time, with his hand on the cup, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two of them sat down separately, Qin Sui waved his hand and beckoned someone to come, and the person owed a debt, and said, "Lord Wang, my lord." At noon, the prime minister came out of the prince's mansion with a cold face, and then ...... The crown prince summoned General Yuan Peng. ”

"Poof, you said the prince summoned Yuan Fei?" Xue Ji hadn't been to King An's Mansion for a long time, but today he came to ask about the osmanthus fragrance and saw the scenery, and heard such news, how could he not be surprised.

Chen Yu couldn't help laughing, turned his head to look at Qin Xu and said, "Master, the prince hit his head, right?" ”

The prince may never care about these subtleties because he has the holy grace by his side, but there are too many eyes outside, which one doesn't say it?

It is understandable for a prince to make friends with ministers in private, but this is something that the courtiers know in their hearts that they don't say it openly, and it is not a big deal to drink tea and have fun with civil officials, but he is bold enough to privately summon the general of the Soldiers and Horses Division, is he really not afraid of the suspicion of the saint? Or do you have something else on your mind?

Qin Sui rubbed his forehead, this time he was confused. "The prince summoned Yuan Peng...... What does that mean? Rebel? ”

Chen Yu said: "That's impossible, didn't the people below say that the prime minister came out with a cold face?" Without the support of the prime minister, what kind of door can he create? ”

Qin Xu sighed: "That's strange, he is in a hurry to find Yuan Peng, is it possible to drink tea?" ”

The three of them were silent, and subconsciously reached out to touch the tea on the side.

For ordinary people, you can understand it after analyzing your mind and calculating.

For the crown prince, this lord is not something that ordinary people can figure out, after all, ordinary people are not like this...... Not so reckless.

Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, the streets and alleys of Chang'an are always full of fallen leaves, and the suburbs of the city can also see the beautiful scenery of maple red reflecting the sunset by the river.

Whether it is a tree or a forest, or the frost and the wind, Xue Ji is stubborn and bored in the room to review the Jinglun books for half a month. Since he left Jiangling, went to Chang'an, and worked under King An, he has not settled down to study for a long time. Even if it's not the first time, I'm still nervous.

Shen Yurong seems to be deliberately avoiding him, when he is studying, Shen Yurong always has to go to the bedroom behind the screen to work with needlework, not pinching his shoulders to relieve his fatigue like before, and rarely playing music and stroking the piano for him.

Seeing that the day of Enke's exam was getting closer and closer, Xue Ji was anxious at both ends, and no one spoke in a panic, so he simply put down his book and went into the bedroom this night.

"Why so early?" Shen Yurong was puzzled.

Xue Ji was even more puzzled, and lay down on the pillow with the back of his head behind his head: "I'm tired, and I haven't been intimate with my wife for a few days, so my wife won't blame me, right?" ”

Shen Yurong was stunned, he didn't pay attention to his hand, and accidentally pricked a hole. "Hiss-husband is tired and rests early, I'll find quicksand and give me some medicine."

"Come back!" Xue Ji grabbed the person's sleeve, dragged the person into his arms, and carefully held her pair of jade hands up and looked at it, the blood spot was not big. So he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped it for her first, opened the drawer sideways, took out the wound medicine, and carefully rubbed it on her.

"Can you say that? Why are you suddenly avoiding me? ”

It was clearly a moonlight on a good night, but a good beauty had a bitter face.

"You, don't do that." Seeing how people looked wronged with their heads down, Xue Ji panicked. "What's the matter, tell me quickly?"

Shen Yurong tried to look up at him, and quickly lowered it again.

Seeing her holding back like this, Xue Ji felt a little bored in his heart. Originally, I had a headache these days with a lot of books and annals, and I was panicked when I was approaching the Enke exam, so I didn't have any patience, so I simply let go of my hand and didn't plan to ask.

"Husband, I ......" Shen Yurong was shocked in his heart and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him: "I haven't come for half a month late, I'm a little panicked." ”

Xue Ji had already closed his eyes, and when he heard this, he sat up in shock.

"Did you have this problem?"

Shen Yurong blushed and said angrily: "No! ”

Xue Ji sat stunned for a while and didn't react, Shen Yurong looked at him with a sluggish expression, and he didn't know how to speak, or the candlelight on the side saw the light burning at the bottom and began to sway, and he came back to his senses.

"This, this, why don't you hurry up and ask the doctor to take a look, if I get sick, how can I explain it to Brother Changqing!"
