Chapter 15: Is It Time to Fight?

When King An's people knocked on the door outside Xue's mansion, Xue Ji had just woken up, and he originally thought that the prince of the court meeting should not need him today, so he didn't get up early, but he didn't expect to come early in the morning, presumably something happened to the court.

"My husband has been working hard lately, and I don't even have a day to rest." Shen Yurong followed behind Xue Ji to tidy up his grooming and clothes, and couldn't help but complain.

Xue Ji held her hand, turned around and gave her a reassuring look: "If you choose this path, there will be no leisure at all, and it will only be busier in the future, don't blame me, madam." ”

Shen Yurong lowered his head to restrain his grievances, and when he raised his eyebrows again, there was only a spring breeze smile on his face: "How could it be, my husband came back earlier." ”

Xue Ji didn't prepare a car, and rushed directly to King An's mansion, and when he got off the horse, his own servant stepped forward to greet him, and Yu Guang saw another ride in the distance, so he fixed his eyes to identify that it was Chen Yu. This was unexpected, I thought that Chen Yu would go down to the court with King An, and they should have returned to the house at this time, why did Chen Yu come alone one step late?

Chen Yu turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly glanced at the person: "Go in and say." ”

There was a shadow under the floating leaves in the pond in the courtyard, and the scales of that thing were especially bright in the sun, and I don't know where the people were honored, and they must be worth a lot of money. Xue Ji only saw the value, but Chen Yu looked at it but thought of a lot behind it, and his expression was a little deep now, and he didn't say anything.

"Lord Wang."

The two saluted Qin Sui and sat down in the pavilion, now that Xue Ji is familiar with them, there is not so much red tape, and he has let go a lot, seeing that the faces of the two are not right, he asked bluntly: "Something happened in the court?" ”

Qin Sui frowned, his right hand rested on his left arm, and his left hand rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. For a long time, his eyes wandered over the two of them, and finally stopped on Chen Yu's face: "You say." ”

Chen Yu pondered for a moment. said: "I think I ...... King Ning will not speak out. ”

Qin Sui was noncommittal, still thinking. Xue Jijin can't enter the official mansion and can't enter the court, although his eyesight has become more and more vicious after a few months, but some things are always half-understood, these two people know it in their hearts, but they talk like playing dumb riddles, which makes people not anxious.

"Fraud and Idle Matters...... His Majesty was furious. ”

Chen Yu saw that he was puzzled, so he explained.

When Xue Ji heard this, he thought back to the past few months and understood. It seems that the saint is in a hurry...... So many months have passed, but the progress is so slow, the household department, or Chen Yu's 'contribution', plus so many people in the court, which one has not filled in a brick?

Slightly stunned, Xue Ji asked, "What did King Ning find?" ”

Qin Sui shook his head suddenly: "No, although we are dragging it, there are not a few pairs of eyes in secret, and it is impossible for him to find out what we haven't found." ”

"Hiss-" Chen Yu heard this, and secretly said to himself: "Then what is he?" ”

Xue Ji was not in the court, and he couldn't see the face of the minister of the Qing Dynasty, but even if he didn't see it, as soon as Qin Sui said this, he guessed clearly: "He is digging a pit for the prime minister?" ”

Qin Sui nodded approvingly, Chen Yu's tightly locked brows did not relax for half a minute, and turned his head to look at King Ning: "This is not just to dig a pit for the prime minister, this is to pit everyone around the prince." ”

Qin Sui nodded again, and suddenly smiled: "But my father won't be unaware, Zhang Fu's eyes are not blind." ”

Xue Ji's gaze swept over the two people, and he understood a lot from their conversations, party strife, suspicion, and ...... The saint turned a blind eye, I'm afraid he is setting up a situation.

"It's not that complicated, the father and the former queen have a deep relationship, and their tolerance for the prince is naturally incomparable to ordinary people."

Halfway through the words, Yu Guang swept to a figure getting closer and closer, and it was the next person who hurried to report - the people in the palace had come to invite King An.

Qin Sui followed the people in the palace, Chen Yu was about to go back to the household department on an errand, but Xue Ji had nowhere to go, so he followed: "Will the household department be implicated in the matter of the idle court's fraud?" ”

"I'm just a squire, and it's also Master Shang Shujiang who has to bear the guilt. Do you think - can King Ning make Jiang Yan have trouble? Saying that, Chen Yu smiled, and turned his head to look at Xue Ji: "Besides, when the idle court was recorded, the head of the household was still Lu Shuping, we can't suffer a loss in this matter, and King Ning must not suffer a loss, only that master has to be planted." ”

Xue Ji followed his gaze, there were few merchants in the east, and most of them were the mansions of princes and nobles, such as the prince's mansion.

The master Chen Yu said should be...... Prince.

The faint sunlight is blocking the figure of the two riding away side by side, Chang'an at this time is not calm, but a wave of wind and waves as if it is pressed can't be lifted, smart people see through it and don't say it, only the saint can suppress the storm.

In August, Lu Shuping, the secretary of the ministry, was suspended and imprisoned, and the officials who investigated the case were all fined for three months, and the whole city of Shu County searched for fugitives.

There has been such a big change in the DPRK, but Chu Qiu's position as prime minister is as stable as a mountain, and his position is so stable, but it is rare for him to have a good face. On this day, the prince was ill, saying that he was sick and on leave and did not go out of the house, and after he dispersed, Chu Qiu didn't even care about gossip, and took a fast horse to the prince's mansion.

"Lu Shuping is in prison."

Qin Chong lazily leaned on the rattan chair, raised his eyebrows and looked at the person, and then calmly took a sip of tea. "Which prison?"

Chu Qiu bowed and sat down on the side, ignoring the beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at the person and replied, "The prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

Qin Chong put down the teacup, rolled his eyes, and looked at Chu Qiu again: "The book of the criminal department...... Hey, it's called Liang Jian, right? ”

"yes."

"Oh." Qin Chong looked suddenly enlightened, sighed lightly, and then smiled: "Then what is the prime minister anxious about?" ”

Liang Jian is not the prince's person, but he has also secretly dedicated his hospitality to the prince, not to mention that Xu Cheng behind him is the power of the prince and the prime minister, and they all say that the lips are cold and the teeth are dead, if it is checked like this, no one will be able to end up, Qin Chong is sure that he will help and help.

Chu Qiu calmed down a little, raised his sleeves to wipe away the sweat, and said: "Why don't you worry, Your Majesty is not joking this time, Your Highness, you should also be tight!" ”

"Tsk, Prime Minister, don't worry." Qin Chong didn't care, and even his eyes were full of contempt. "If Father really wants to do it, can you still leave me here and shout?"

Chu Qiu has been sitting in a high position for a long time, Qin Heng respects him, but this prince is rampage and has no respect when he speaks! He was angry in his heart, and because he was a person on the same boat, he couldn't scold anything, so he endured it again and again and finally held his breath before he said in a deep voice: "If Your Majesty hadn't thought about being ruthless, he wouldn't have broken this matter!" ”

Qin Chong said again: "Fraud, Gu Ke is not involved at all, what if he is ruthless?" ”

When he said this, it was like stabbing out of his mouth, and the anger that Chu Qiu had just pressed suddenly rushed to his head again. "Prince, you have taken a lot of stolen money from Xianting, and a few ladies in your backyard have also interfered in these pickled and broken things, if you really poke it out, the old minister will not be able to escape the charge of forming a party and running a private business, where can you be clean?"

"Prime Minister!" Qin Chong's face changed suddenly, he is not a gentle and polite person, which of so many officials under his hands is not careful to flatter, prime minister, is not a minister? Thinking about it, he snorted coldly: "Prime Minister, do you remember that you are a minister?" ”

"Prince!"

"I sent you this little money to the treasury? After so many years, you have formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, when did your father not turn a blind eye? If you still remember that you are a minister, and you still remember the word loyalty, how can a benevolent king like your father sharpen his knife against you? Qin Chong stood up, bruises erupted on his neck, and the more he scolded, the more excited he became: "It is you who are holding Lone's leg and thinking about continuing the glory in the future, and it is you who is the one who uses Lone's name to use the favor of your father and the emperor, and now that things are out of your control, you want to break the jar with Lone?" ”

Chu Qiu swallowed another breath of anger, and kept reminding himself of the word forbearance, how can there be a courtier in the world who asks his master? After a long time, he lowered his posture before he dared to answer: "Prince, is it time to fight in the nest?" ”

"You know it's not." Qin Chong sneered, seeing that he seemed to have backed down, so he sat back on the rattan chair. "Can Lu Shuping's mouth be closed?"

Hearing this, Chu Qiu frowned slightly, and understood.

"I can't help him."

The arrogance on the two of them has not been extinguished, but it is no longer tense, Qin Chong carefully counted the trivial matters in recent months, and his anger can hardly be suppressed, his brother and younger brother, there is really no one to worry about. Lu Shuping is so broken, the officials will definitely fall into Rong Che's hands, Rong Che ...... Oh, King An!

"If you can't move King Ning for a lonely time, it's not easy to be a mere King An?" As soon as the words fell, the cup in Qin Chong's hand fell to the ground and shattered. As if the floodgates were opened, Qin's anger was sprinkled on Qin Sui's body: "What a shitty thing, it used to sway from side to side like a weed, and he did a good job of soliciting literati and sluts all day long, and he really forgot what his mother was if he didn't beat him for many days!" ”

Chu Qiu looked at him, and there was no trace of turmoil in his heart, what threat can Wang An's background have, the prince has always been short-tempered and open-mouthed, and today's insult is probably not just to vent his anger, maybe ...... Thinking about it, he sighed and said casually: "Liu, life is too long." ”

But seeing Qin Chong clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay to have a long life, people are blessed, and it should be a pity that a blessed person is only a talented person for so many years, it is better to help her increase the ambition of the eldest brother." ”

This trick is very vicious, Liu's as a prisoner of war sin girl in the palace as a maid, but by chance met the drunk and confused saint Qin Heng, Cheng Pet overnight was lucky to conceive the dragon heir, she did not report to the female official in charge and did not record in the worship room, until the belly was too big to hide before it reached Qin Heng's ears, which has the eldest son of the emperor, and now King An.

For Liu, the night was lucky. But for Qin Heng, this night was a shame. Anyone who is interested in it on weekdays doesn't mention it in front of him, but the prince asked him to take this matter to the court meeting and say it, Long Yan was furious, and for a while, the court and the middle of the court changed again.
