Chapter 510: Henchman
There are brick walls separating them, and the sound is very muffled and inaudible.
The two looked at each other, and turned their heads together to find a more suitable place to eavesdrop.
The little white snake scurried out and stopped near a crack in the wall.
Mingwei reached out and touched it, and found that this place seemed to be openable.
With some effort, the two of them finally found the location of the mechanism, and with a twist, the wall silently moved a hole that only allowed one person to pass through.
The emperor's voice came out clearly: "Zhang Qing, you tell me the truth, won't I last long?" ”
Yang Shu rushed ahead, squeezed in first, and made sure that it was okay, before reaching out and bringing Mingwei in.
It's a secret room, and it's dusty that no one has been in for a long time. It is fully furnished and seems to be able to live for a short time.
Yang Shu found a candle inserted in the wall and lit it up little by little with a fire fold.
It seems like a temporary place of refuge.
The two of them didn't move the things, only touched the wall where the sound came from, and listened carefully.
After the emperor asked, one of them replied, "The Holy Lord is too worried, and your head wind is an old disease." You know, it's a bit of a recurring ......."
Yang Shu turned his head and made a lip shape.
Zhang Qi. This is the voice of the second phase.
"But I'm getting sick more and more often, so it's not a way to go on like this! The waste of the hospital is useless! ”
The deep anger in this sentence surprised Yang Shu.
He thought that the emperor was kind and kind in front of others, but he didn't expect to show such a side in front of Zhang Qi.
Is it because his personality has changed dramatically recently, or is his relationship with Zhang Qi far closer than others imagined?
The Manchu Dynasty said that the second prime minister, Zhang Qi, was a good man. He rose up purely by seniority. Steady, not outstanding, has been the second minister for ten years, and has a happy cooperation with Prime Minister Lu Qian. He doesn't have a strong sense of existence, but people who don't agree with politics can communicate with him.
Could it be that the emperor also felt that Zhang Qi was a good object to confide in, so he called him to say these words?
What they just talked about is not appropriate to mention in front of outsiders.
"Don't worry, the minister has secretly visited that Doctor Zhong, I heard that he has super medical skills, and he will definitely be able to cure the disease."
"It's been more than half a year, right? No news yet? ”
Zhang Qi replied: "Zhong Shenyi Shenlong saw the head but not the tail, someone mentioned it before, he once appeared in the Northwest Army, and the minister has already called someone to investigate." ”
"Northwest Army?"
"Exactly, the minister has been confirmed."
The emperor's focus was on another aspect: "Why did Doctor Zhong appear in the Northwest Army?" What is his relationship with Zongxu? ”
Zhang Qi replied: "The minister asked, it is said that in the early years, Doctor Zhong went to the northwest to work as a military doctor during the war, and I think this is how I met. This was the same time, as soon as the war was over, he left the Northwest Army. ”
"So, this person is really a loyal person who serves the country?"
"Perhaps." Zhang Qi replied very conservatively, "He not only cares about the war, but also cares about the Holy Dragon Body, if he can find it, he should be willing to ask him to make a move." ”
The emperor let out a sigh: "I hope to find him as soon as possible!" ”
Then the two talked about business.
"Zhang Qing, you see that the Zong family is so powerful, is there a way to curb it? As soon as the border line expanded, their clan could really be called the king of the northwest. ”
Zhang Qi replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, he is not at fault now, and it is difficult to do it." At this time, it is time to burn flowers and cook oil with fire, so that he is above others and enjoys full honor, and it is natural that he will be negligent and make great mistakes in the future. ”
"What you're saying is just that I'm worried that time is running out and it's too late to clean up the clan. The prince is like that...... Alas! ”
Zhang Qi had to be comforted: "You can relax, you don't need too much talent." The prince has done a good job in the past two years, as long as his temper is sharpened a little longer, it is enough. ”
After listening for a while, the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers stopped for a while and went to eat together.
Mingwei and the others exited the secret room and locked the mechanism.
After being silent for a while, Yang Shu said: "I didn't expect Zhang Qi to be so close to him. ”
The words of the prince who commented on the prince would not have been able to speak if they were not close to the monarch and ministers to a certain level.
No matter how dissatisfied the emperor is with the crown prince, he will not be happy if others want to criticize him.
Ming Weiqi said: "What is the relationship between the second prime minister Zhang Qi and that person?" ”
Yang Shu said: "It's so-so. He trusts Lu Xiang very much, you know, he ascended to the throne in a hurry, and he didn't learn much about governing the country, it was Lu Xiang's little by little teaching that made him slowly sit on the throne. So for so many years, he would not refuse anything that Lu Xiang said. ”
"But in that conversation just now, Lu Xiang wouldn't have said it so directly, right?"
Yang Shu nodded slowly: "Our saint is deeply hidden!" ”
Everyone thought that he trusted Lu Xiang the most, but what Fang Cai said sounded like he could talk about with Zhang Qi much more profoundly. For example, how to deal with the Zong family, where the prince is deficient.
Only a true henchman would say these words so bluntly. On weekdays, Lu Qian is mainly tactfully reminded in front of the emperor.
"It seems that we have to check this second prime minister when we go back," Yang Shu said, "A prime minister of the political affairs hall, why should he hide his close relationship with the king, no matter how he thinks, it is not normal." ”
Ming Wei said: "I have always found it strange, Lu Xiang is not a person who can do bad things, so who will hand over the emperor's affairs to?" It's not enough to have a secret guard, and someone in the court must take care of it. Perhaps the answer lies in the second phase. ”
"Hmm." Yang Shu said coldly, "Let's tell Mr. Fu first, and then we will start to secretly investigate the details of this second minister." Maybe here's a breakthrough. ”
The two continued to wander along the secret passages.
Maybe it's because it's rare to be alone after coming back, Yang Shu not only doesn't feel bored, but wants to go on forever.
Mingwei asked him, "Where is the secret room just now?" ”
Yang Shu recalled: "It is likely to be the Mingguang Palace. ”
Since the beginning of Qianyan, Mingguang Hall has always been the emperor's study.
"It seems that this is a place of refuge prepared by the former Yan Imperial Family, and I don't know if it will come in handy."
Mingwei took advantage of the light of the candle to slowly observe the surrounding stone walls and said, "It's coming in handy." ”
"Can you tell?"
Mingwei nodded and pointed to the lampstand on the wall: "Look at the appearance of the lampstand, it is a strange door." I expected the other menoraries to be like this, it was a big array, and it looked like it had been successfully activated. ”
Yang Shu was terrified: "Then we ......"
Ming Wei continued: "Don't worry, this array has been abandoned for too long and has lost its effectiveness, otherwise how can we get here smoothly." ”
Yang Shu was full of interest: "There is a secret room in the Mingguang Palace, and there is an exit in the Taiyuan Palace, are there other palaces too?" This secret passage is discovered by us, isn't it in and out of the palace like a backyard! ”
Ming smiled and nodded: "The reason why we were able to enter through the entrance of Taiyuan Palace is because the disguise there has become invalid. I'll go back and make it up. You also tell King An, don't go in casually in the future, so as not to be injured by mistake. ”()
