Although Chu Qiu shut up, his eyes still fell on Zhang Fu with hatred. And Zhang Fu was sure in his heart, his waist was straight, his demeanor was calm, and he was calm.

Qin Heng stood up, walked down the steps, and looked at the two of them. "The prime minister should step back first."

"Your Majesty!"

"I'll tell you to step down!"

Chu Qiu was reluctant in his heart, of course he knew that he had already been defeated when he suddenly issued an order from the Holy Lord to add him to the list of chief examiners, and he never expected that the people under his hands would really be blinded by money, and they would do anything foolish, and he didn't expect that Zhang Fu, an old thing, had been set up early, because he was too idle on official business to be in the idle court all day!

Zhang Fu watched Chu Qiu leave, finally stepped forward, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister was in the idle court that day, and he saw the ......."

"Alright." Qin Heng suddenly turned cold and looked straight at the person in front of him. "You see that it is clear, and you don't report it to me, but you set up a trap for the prime minister first. Zidao, I can't remember clearly, when did I say that I would dispose of the prime minister? ”

Zhang Fu was startled, his heart missed a beat, and he unconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at others. "Your Majesty forgives you for your sins, and your minister's actions are overstepping...... But for His Majesty's consideration, if he made an early move, the prime minister would definitely take precautions. ”

"When will I let you calculate the prime minister!" Qin Heng's voice raised several times, and his anger was even stronger. "You think about it, even Chunqiu dares to calculate, the right to read books for chess in the day, Zhang Zidao, Shang Shuling, haven't you forgotten that there is a master above your head?"

Zhang Fu was shocked, and was suddenly full of panic, and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister knows the crime, the minister makes a claim for a while, the minister is unintentional, and the minister dare not forget the master when he dies!" ”

"You've been comfortable for a long time." The voice was extremely low.

Hearing this, Zhang Fu still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, and quietly inquired about the saint's expression, but saw that his eyes were deep and cold. Secretly made a mistake in his heart, these days he has been calculating Chu Qiu, but he has forgotten the bottom line of being a courtier...... If Jiang Yan saw this scene here, he would definitely laugh, and this time Chu Qiu would be greatly injured even if he didn't fall, but Zhang Fu may not be the hero who eliminated evil for the country, on the contrary, he may not be able to escape the responsibility.

Qin Heng paced back and forth under the steps for a long time, looking at the golden steps under his feet, he wanted to give Zhang Fu and himself a step down, but he couldn't, he couldn't punish Zhang Fu, if he punished Zhang Fu, the villain who was doing nonsense at the bottom would be successful, and Chu Qiu's power would really overshadow the sky.

But he can't let Zhang Fu do it, who knows what kind of character this person in front of him will be in the future, and today he connived at his transgression, if he raises a tiger again, wouldn't there be another Chu Qiu?

"This matter is to be thoroughly investigated, not to punish anyone, but to give those lawless things a deterrent!" Qin Heng sat back on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "You come to investigate this matter, and you are allowed to take credit." If there is another bad pool, you can pack up and wait for the prime minister first. ”

Zhang Fu's heart sank, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister receives the order." ”

"Stand down." As soon as the words came out, Qin Heng closed his eyes and leaned back on the dragon chair, not knowing what to think. When Zhang Fu retreated to the door, Qin Heng suddenly opened his eyes, with a complicated look in his eyes. "Zidao, the intertwined roots of the DPRK and the Central Committee are too chaotic, and if you want to uproot them at this time, the country can't support it, and I can't stand it."

“…… Minister, understood. ”

How bloody the palace is in front of the palace, people outside do not know, the news blocker really thinks that this is two adults who are worried about the country and the people have to bear the responsibility, shouting and scolding in front of the door of the idle court, the door of the idle court is closed, and it has not been open for business for three days.

Even if the courtyard is closed to welcome customers, the streets of Chang'an are still bustling, with cars and horses coming and going, and there are many nobles on one street. After noon, the sun was high in the sky, and Chen Yu drove out of the house. When he arrived at the door of Xue Ji's mansion, Chen Yu opened the curtain and ordered the coachman to knock on the door, and when the door opened, Xue Ji personally came to greet him: "Brother Ziliang!" ”

Chen Yu saw that he was dressed properly, not bells and whistles, and not stumbling, and sighed secretly: Very good. So happily, he waved his hand at him: "Get in the car, I'll take you to see the prince!" ”

The moment Xue Ji got into the carriage, his heart sank, he got on Chen Yu's car, it was King An's car, this way to ...... Who knows where it will go.

I thought that the prince's mansion should be magnificent, but I really got out of the car to take a look, but found that the construction of King An's mansion was decent, and there was no decoration at all, Xue Ji was a little stunned and understood. King An is the eldest son of today's saint, but his mother Concubine Liu is just a palace maid, and she has only been a talented person after giving birth to King An for so many years, and King An is still raised by Concubine Qi...... Although King An is the eldest son, because of his mother's humble background, it is inevitable that he will not dare to swagger.

Walking to the door, Chen Yu turned his head and admonished: "Go in, talk tabooly, I can tell you all the good things." ”

Xue Ji turned his head to look at him when he heard this, Chen Yu's face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see the clue, so he could only respond and follow him into the door.

After entering the door, you can look up and see Qin Sui, the king of An, sitting in the middle of the front hall, and there is a doorman sitting below. Seeing the two of them coming, Qin Sui waved away the rest of the people, smiling, and Xue Ji felt like a spring breeze when he saw it.

Chen Yu entered the hall and bowed respectfully: "Master." ”

Qin Sui got up and helped him up, and his tone was still slightly reproachful: "Ziliang, you are also a second-grade official now, and you are Wanyu's forehead, I didn't let you call me brother, you can call the prince, why do you always stick to etiquette?" ”

Chen Yu smiled and replied: "This has nothing to do with the official residence, you are the master, this is the courtesy that the minister should do." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Xue Ji vaguely understood that there was a world of difference between superiors and subordinates, monarchs and ministers, and ministers.

"It's ......"

Qin Sui set his eyes on Xue Ji, and Xue Ji hurriedly bowed his head: "Grass people Xue Ji, meet the prince." ”

"Oh, Xue Ji ......" Qin Sui seemed to be stunned, and quickly looked back at Chen Yu: "This is the Xue Qingzhi you said?" Gangneung people? ”

Chen Yu bowed his head: "Exactly, when it comes to seniority, the minister is still his cousin." ”

Qin Sui nodded, pondered for a moment, looked at Xue Ji, and asked, "In your opinion, who will win this Spring Festival fraud?" ”

Xue Ji was a little stunned in his heart, he had just met and saluted, he really didn't expect King An to be so straightforward...... But when you think about it, you know that it is impossible for the dignified prince to recruit wise men to play the piano and drink tea, right?

So Xue Ji thought for a while and replied, "You lose all the games." ”

"Oh?" Qin Sui felt fresh, and suddenly became interested: "You go on." ”

"Back to the prince, although the prime minister may not be able to fall this time, he will definitely bleed heavily. Shangshu fascinated the authorities, and he still didn't know it when he touched the scales. These two people are both seriously injured, and they can be said to have lost all the games. ”

Qin Sui smiled: "There is one more person, Jiang Yan." ”

Xue Ji heard him mention this person, and what he saw in the idle court that day poured into his mind, Jiang Yan was not as sharp as Zhang Fu, and at first glance he was a person who was not shallow in the city, this time he was enough to be with the light, but it was a pity that he ......

After thinking for a moment, Xue Ji said again: "The matter is big, and there are eggs under the nest?" Master Jiang is certainly wise, but he and Master Zhang were both present on the day of the incident, so he may not be able to avoid trouble safely. ”

Qin Sui was a little surprised, this person had nothing to do with the imperial court, how could he know so much? "On the day of the incident...... Do you know? ”

Xue Ji replied: "Don't hide it from the prince, the grass people were also idle that day, watching the situation for a whole day. ”

Saying that, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just thought it was an unannounced visit by the examiner. Who would have thought that he was already stuck in a chess game and didn't know it!

Qin Sui said as if jokingly: "Your family is also a rich businessman, why don't you buy one?" You don't have to come to me today. ”

Xue Jizheng said: "There are known anglers, why compete to eat fish hooks?" What's more, the eldest husband is frank and can't take a detour. ”

Qin Sui didn't ask anymore, only savored Fang Cai's question and answer, frowned and looked into the distance, picked up the teacup and took a sip for a moment. "The storm is coming......"

Chen Yu sat aside, he knew Qin Sui's mind best, and said with a smile: "Who says everything is lost?" Master, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight this time to really reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"You're the smartest." Qin Sui smiled and glanced at him: "Jiangling has good water and soil, and there are often learned people, I am fortunate to have you, and now I don't have to worry about Sixian!" ”

He didn't explicitly say whether Xue Ji was needed or not, but he affirmed and admired Xue Ji's talent openly and secretly, what was the intention? Known. Xue Ji was a little nervous, perhaps he had been pulled to stand in line before he could react, and he was inevitably panicked.

Coming out of King An's Mansion, the market is the same, the red wall is the same, but the mentality has changed. Qin Sui accepted him as a guest and allowed him to follow him to inquire about the affairs of the court, but at the same time...... This means that Xue Ji wants to plan for him, and put King An first in everything.

Judging from what Xue Ji knew at this time, it is still unknown whether Chu Qiu's position can be shaken, even if Chu Qiu falls one day, the prince is the descendant of the Yuan Queen, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake. Even if the crown prince falls, with Concubine Qi here, King Ning's chances of victory are greater than those of King An......

"The prince is the eldest son, and he has the name of a virtuous man, and there are not a few supporters in the court." Chen Yu walked to him at some point, seemed to see through his thoughts, and whispered.

Xue Ji was shocked, hurriedly restrained his expression, turned around and thanked him: "Brother Ziliang, I have to thank Brother Ziliang for the introduction, otherwise I don't know how bumpy the road ahead is." ”

Chen Yu laughed: "Qingzhi, I have always liked to make friends with wise men, why are you always on guard? Sooner or later, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, and we are our own brothers, so you might as well take care of each other? ”

Xue Ji was stunned for a moment, tried to relax the tense heartstrings, smiled at the person, and responded. The breeze is blowing, and it seems that something is quietly changing, and I don't know where it will go along the way...... The sky is getting late, the twilight has been faintly visible, the lights of Chang'an Wanjia are brighter than the stars, this is the capital, and it is also the battlefield where countless people chase the competition, the moonlight is as clear as water, and the city is full of wind and rain unconsciously.
