Father-in-law Gui naturally knew what the emperor was talking about. General Song is an old minister, but he is good at leading troops to fight, is familiar with the art of war, and has always been defending his family and country at the border. The emperor was furious about the death of General Song, but in the end, he secretly found out that it was the second prince who did it, so he didn't say anything and just did it. was only secretly angry in his heart, but on the surface, he just buried General Song thickly, and he didn't ask the second prince to explain.

In fact, there is no need to find the second prince, the emperor must also understand it in his heart. General Song enjoys prestige in the court of Qi, and the second prince must have tried to win over the old general behind his back, but General Song is upright and upright, so he must not have agreed, so the second prince became angry, so General Song died.

Now the huge Qi State does not even have a single soldier to send troops to fight. If the emperor mentions this matter in the court tomorrow, those princes will rush to submit their own people first, but most of those people are people who talk on paper, and very few can fight.

Gonggong Gui looked at the emperor, and there were many more wrinkles on the emperor's forehead, and there were several white threads on his hair.

"Your Majesty, everything is for the sake of your dragon body." Gonggong Gui couldn't help but persuade.

"If something really happened to me, those wolf-hearted people would probably be happier." The emperor snorted coldly.

"Alright, I'd better finish these pieces first." The emperor looked at the music on the table, sighed, waved his hand, and Gonggong Gui retreated to the side and waited quietly.

Chen Zhi walked out of the door of the imperial study, and his eyes sank. The emperor seemed to realize that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he didn't ask anything, and he didn't say anything, maybe he just thought too much. Chen Zhi shook his head, no longer thinking about this, and prepared to go back to his palace.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, Chen Zhi didn't intend to stay, and the subordinates behind him followed him closely, and he didn't pay attention to it.

"Fifth brother!"

Chen Zhi's footsteps slammed down, looked towards the source of the sound, and found that it was the third prince he happened to meet yesterday, and the corners of his eyes twitched, how could he always meet these people who he didn't want to see in the past two days.

Since the third prince stopped him, Chen Zhi couldn't continue to leave as if he didn't see it, so he stood in place and watched the third prince come with a smile.

Although it is spring now, there is still a breeze blowing, but the third prince is holding a fan, Chen Zhi knows that the third prince is not simple, so he also keeps an eye on it, and does not connect him with those scholars.

"Fifth brother, why are you in the Imperial Garden, are you here to enjoy the flowers?" The third prince looked at Chen Zhi with a smile and asked.

"Third brother, just now my father asked me to care about me and asked me if I lacked anything." Chen Zhi said with a grin. The emperor's search for him must have reached the ears of the princes, after all, he was surrounded by their eyeliner, so he simply didn't hide it.

The third prince's eyes flickered, "Really?" Father seems to be very concerned about you, fifth brother, you have been in Zhao for a long time, and the palace you live in now has been abandoned for a long time, and it has only been re-cleaned recently for you to live, so it is inevitable that you will be wronged. ”

"Not aggrieved." Chen Zhi said with a smile.

Chen Zhi said a few words to the third prince, and then thought of finding an excuse to leave, but saw that the third prince suddenly pointed to a pavilion in front of him, "Fifth brother, the third brother has not had a good chat with you during the time you came back, the second brother was also there yesterday, and today our brothers have a good chat." ”

Chen Zhi's smile froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his heart became vigilant, could it be that the third prince saw something yesterday? He looked up and saw the third prince looking at him with a smile, and a smile also appeared on his face, "Okay." He said.

Chen Zhi and the three princes entered the pavilion, and Chen Zhi saw a scattered chessboard on the table in the pavilion.

The third prince also saw it and said with a smile: "Which careless person fell here." After speaking, he said to Chen Zhi: "Fifth brother, do you know how to play chess?" Why don't we play against each other? ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly waved his hand, "This, I don't know how to play chess, third brother, don't you mean to make me make a fool of myself in front of you?" ”

The three princes sat down and picked up the white and black chess pieces scattered on the chessboard one by one and put them in the boxes on the side. "It's just entertainment, even if the fifth brother tries it, why make a fool of it."

Chen Zhi saw that the third prince spoke in a resolute tone, so he didn't say much, and quietly watched the third prince pack up the chess pieces.

"Please." The third prince said.

Chen Zhi subconsciously pursed the corners of his mouth, picked up a black chess piece and put it down.

Chen Zhi glanced up at the three princes who were staring at the chessboard, and only felt that the behavior of the three princes today was extremely strange. said that he was here to catch up with himself and talk about brotherhood, but he didn't feel like it, but it seemed like he was further testing himself. But looking at his attitude towards himself yesterday, he didn't doubt it much.

Chen Zhi thought intently as he focused his attention on the chess game. I can't deliberately show that my strength is very weak, but I also have to show that I really can't play chess.

Therefore, when it is a little necessary to use his brain to determine where the chess pieces fall, Chen Zhi will think carefully for some time, and then hesitantly put down the chess pieces, so that he can not only show that he really does not understand very well, but he is not deliberately concealing it.

The third prince intended to release the water, and he just used this game of chess to see how far Chen Zhi had got. Playing chess is the best way to see a person's character and intelligence. Just like the second prince, every time he plays chess with him, he is in a hurry, even if it is a trap, he does not hesitate to step in, and occasionally uses some tricks, but they are not very sophisticated means.

But even if the third prince deliberately released the water, he still won quickly. When he won, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, judging from the fifth brother's chess ideas, he really didn't show as much as he did, and he still knew a little, but these little understandings couldn't be put on the table in the eyes of these people.

The third prince has always been a very cautious person, even though he felt that Chen Zhi was indeed as good as he appeared yesterday, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, knowing that the emperor had summoned Chen Zhi, he stayed in the imperial garden, waiting for Chen Zhi. But from Chen Zhi's words, he didn't see anything wrong.

"Third brother, you are so smart." Chen Zhi exclaimed.

The third prince smiled absentmindedly, he looked at Chen Zhi with an innocent smile in front of him, his demonic face was an innocent smile, the third prince couldn't help but recall Chen Zhi when he was a child, he was also like this, and followed the second brother and him behind him in red clothes with a smile every day. All this time has passed, but he has not changed at all.

The third prince suddenly made a decision in his heart, if, if he finally ascended to that position, he would definitely arrange Chen Zhi's life for the rest of his life, let him stay away from this gloomy palace, and spend the rest of his life peacefully.
