"What the hell is Fang Qingchen trying to do?" The young councillor's report was crumpled together, his face full of anger and incomprehension.

Qin Xufei, who was looking through the official documents, raised his head and said with a smile: "Shijie, he hasn't done anything yet, you are so annoyed." If he really did something, then you still have to rush to something wrong? ”

Qi Shijie was silent.

Liu Heng is Qin Xufei's most trusted deputy, and he is one of the most powerful deputies by Liu Heng's side. He, like Liu Heng, is both civil and military, but he has the temperament of a heroic horse. At the beginning of Qin Xufei's great rejuvenation, he mixed into the army, because he was skilled in swords and horses, good at riding and shooting, and surprisingly brave in battle, and soon accumulated military merits to stand out.

Liu Heng had the intention to cultivate him, so he inevitably carefully explored his background and background, but was stunned to find that this person was called a prodigy in his hometown. In addition to poetry and books, he is proficient in all six arts, poetry articles, and current affairs discussions, all of which are quite famous. This guy didn't take the road of the imperial examination, but he wanted to leave a book and run away, and secretly ran away to be a soldier......

Liu Heng was happy and left him by his side to serve as the head of the march, in charge of the case and paperwork. Qi Shijie is 10,000 reluctant to return to the copy. The long knife is fast, and the charge is so refreshing!

After elongating his face and following Liu Heng's side for a month, he gradually understood what the stacks of documents and account books, the strings of monotonous data, the various pieces of information, and those trivial and complicated things meant to an army. The case is in the shape of labor, camping? Moreover, if there is a mistake, it may lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and the crime cannot be punished. There is no mistake but it is also useless. Truly a thankless errand.

However, after this month, he no longer cherishes the glorious legend on the battlefield. Willingly, please stay under Liu Heng's account. This stay is five years.

Now that Liu Heng is gone, all the previous intelligence networks have been handed over to him to manage. Therefore, since a large number of officials and relatives from the south entered Beijing, Qi Shijie has been so busy that he has never slept peacefully.

Although the Chu people and Qin have long shouted the slogan of sincere unity and harmony above all else, in their bones, they still want the other party to be killed by thunder. With so many Chu people under his nose, how could he put his mind at ease? Naturally, it is necessary to mobilize all the intelligence forces at hand and closely monitor the important personnel of the Chu people. Of course. The focus of monitoring is Fang Qingchen.

According to the terms of the peace negotiation agreement between Qin and Chu, Fang Qingchen's decision-making power is under Qin Xufei. But with Fang Qingchen's qualifications and prestige, if he deliberately couldn't get along with Qin Xufei, Qin Xufei would inevitably be restrained in the court. Therefore, if Fang Qingchen has something to do. Qin Xufei must know as soon as possible and deal with it in advance.

However. Qi Shijie was worried for a long time, and he didn't see any decision by Fang Qingchen against Qin Xufei. In fact, he did not express the slightest opinion on the government at all.

In the first few days of the imperial court, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he appeared every day. It's just that it's none of your business and you don't speak. I shook my head when I asked, and I didn't know. It's there as a figure-shaped ornament.

No matter how fierce the dispute was, when asked about him, he always said lightly: "It's good that everyone has agreed." I'm okay with that. ”

Later, he simply told his illness at home every day, and he didn't even bother to take a step at the door. In addition to drinking, he usually lies on the grass in the garden in a daze, and uses exercises to pass the time with Zhao Wangchen. Judging from the detailed drill process reported back by the detectives, the only personal disciple of Fang Qingchen, who was pitiful and envied by everyone in the world, was simply inhuman torture.

As for state affairs, Fang Qingchen didn't mention it at home, someone bothered him about it, he either talked about him left and right, or refused to do so.

The southern forces originally expected him to check and balance Qin Xufei, but seeing that he repeatedly did not go to court, people like Zhuo Ziyun Lingfang naturally often knocked on the door to persuade him. And Fang Qingchen always didn't allow them to finish their words at all: "I'm welcome to come and drink, and if you talk about government affairs, please talk about it tomorrow when you go to court." ”

Naturally, when "tomorrow" arrived, he was still absent when he went to the ground......

After dragging on like this, Zhuo Ziyun finally couldn't help jumping up and said Fang Hou, you are not here, who will restrain Qin Xufei?

Fang Qingchen asked casually: "Qin Xu flew out of the new decree and violated you?" ”

Zhuo Ziyun was stunned: "This has never been." ”

So, Fang Qingchen said lazily: "When he finds you a place that is not pleasant, come and tell me." ”

This is already him giving Zhuo Lingyun face, and he has changed to someone else, and he can't even see his people.

In fact, Qin Xufei also had a headache. Now that there are a lot of wastes waiting to be revived, there are thousands of government affairs, where is Fang Qingchen secretly calculating him, he is already so worried that he even has several more gray hairs. He was not familiar with government affairs, and the people below him could not rely on it with confidence, so in desperation, he also sincerely went to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to ask for advice.

Fang Qingchen never failed to help Chu Ruohong take charge of the government before, so he should be a good teacher, right?

However, when Fang Qingchen heard about government affairs, he immediately lost his smile: "Are you the king of politics or am I the king of politics?" Then immediately staggered the topic, if Qin Xufei said a few more words, he would have a headache and want to rest, and he would use his illness to chase away customers, unceremoniously.

After several times, Qin Xufei had no choice but to stop hoping for help from him and worry about it himself. In addition to reading the folds every day, he also has to read countless official documents in various places, and the people's feelings, population, farmland, grain, terrain, specialties, etc. are waiting for him to master, and he himself finds out all the documents of the old dynasty in the palace, and learns from the experience of the previous people's policies, plus a capable official who sincerely visits the previous dynasty, even if he is hostile and cold, he can't take care of it.

He was so busy here that he was dizzy, and the entire council and the people of the royal palace also followed suit. And Qi Shijie was very busy at the beginning, but when it was confirmed, Fang Qingchen was really more stable than anyone else, and after the other officials from the south did not make any changes, they were left depressed and panicked all day long in the face of those trivial information.

I had saved up enough energy to prepare for the most terrible crisis, but nothing happened. Can you not be depressed with a punch in cotton?

Today I received the same useless secret report again, knowing that Fang Qingchen had been drinking wine in the garden all day while thinking that Zhao Wangchen was not right, that was not good, Qi Shijie finally couldn't bear to scold in a low voice.

Qin Xufei only felt funny when he heard it, he was so busy these days that he couldn't stop for a while. Basically, I don't have much time to worry about Fang Qingchen. However, he is still more sympathetic and understanding for this subordinate who has gathered enough energy to deal with Fang Qingchen, but as a result, he can't do anything.

Listening to his own political king's casual laughter, Qi Shijie felt even more unwilling: "Lord Wang, it is precisely because he has done nothing that it is even more disturbing." How could he be a man like this, even if he came to Beijing, to do nothing. We can deal with whatever he does, but he doesn't do anything......"

What he does or doesn't do here. After going around for a long time, Qin Xufei only laughed when he heard it.

At the time of separation, Liu Heng told him that Qi Shijie's intelligence and martial arts were all superior, and his experience was not less than that of others, but he was young in the end. I haven't suffered too many setbacks in the past, and I feel a little bored. If you want to be on your own. It still needs to be sharpened, please ask him more

。

He likes the spirit of a young man like Qi Shijie very much. Young people may not be stable enough, but what's wrong with that? Setbacks can certainly make people grow, but to be like himself is not yet thirty. The state of mind is as old as a person in the twilight of life. It's really not interesting.

"Shijie, you can relax, it is Fang Qingchen who has the heart to calculate me. Now everything is waiting to be rebuilt, everything is not stable, and it is not the time for him to make a move. Besides, why does he have to do it......" Qin Xufei smiled and pointed to the Rushan Wenqi on the case: "As long as he continues to be his shopkeeper, in less than ten years, maybe I will be tired and ...... young" The rest of the words were glared at by Qi Shijie angrily, and he had to swallow it back.

Counting, over the years, his prestige in front of his hands has really become weaker and weaker. Compared with the light dust below, he is always worshiped as a god by his subordinates, and he is heroic, which is really envious.

Sigh.

Qi Shijie gritted his teeth: "What I can't see the most is this, this is the country of the Chu people, the people of the Chu people, why should Fang Qingchen stand by with the country's money, but you have to work so hard?" ”

Qin Xufei smiled even more. In fact, Qi Shijie's temperament is not peaceful and calm, and he is suitable for being an assistant, but he is really not suitable for being in charge of intelligence alone. Liu Heng arranged for him to be in charge of intelligence, but in fact, he had bad intentions...... Cough. They only have the army in their hands, and sending these middle-aged men who have been in the army for many years to listen to information is comparable to the Chu people's intelligence infiltration. is a maid holding tea next to her, maybe she will be the eyes and ears arranged by the Chu people.

Since this is the case, it is better to let go of your heart, simply let Qi Shijie do it, let him plant a few heels, suffer some tempering, and by the way, let the Chu people see this weak intelligence network in their eyes, and secretly feel relieved, and relieve the doubts of the Chu people.

He likes Qi Shijie by his side, there is such a sharp and enthusiastic person, he may not be wise enough to speak, but he is indeed full of sincerity, and listening to it can always make his tired heart feel a little lighter.

Naturally, he used Qi Shijie as a pistachio, and he must not let Qi Shijie know, otherwise he would have to blow it up.

"Shijie, according to what you say, if Fang Qingchen jumps up, embarrasses me everywhere, and fights with me for power in everything, things will be easier to do?" Qin Xufei smiled and said a word, which made Qi Shijie's face red.

"Lord Wang, don't you think Fang Qingchen's behavior is too abnormal?" Qi Shijie accentuated his tone: "Abnormal is always a demon." ”

Qin Xufei said with a smile: "How can Fang Qingchen's behavior be inferred by normality. I think he is determined that I don't dare to delay the government, so I am happy. And recently, the emperor's illness has not improved, he may be depressed in his heart, so he simply doesn't bother to maintain face. ”

"Speaking of the Emperor Taishang...... Qi Shijie frowned and said, "Fang Qingchen's actions are indeed incredible. It is said that when he first saw the emperor, he retreated left and right, stunned the emperor, and tore off the emperor's clothes, which ...... This...... Is this too ......? ”

Qin Xufei glared at him: "Where did you think of going?" He knew that the Emperor Taishang had a lot of old wounds on his body. It's just a matter of checking it out for your own sake. He hadn't personally confirmed that the injuries on Emperor Taishang's body were all old wounds from a long time ago, how could he be sure that we, the Qin people, had indeed not treated him lightly. For the Emperor Taishang, Fang Qingchen is indeed very concerned and attaches great importance to it. ”

"Important?"

Looking at Qi Shijie's puzzled expression, Qin Xufei shook his head helplessly. No one is perfect. Observing words and feelings, and being considerate of people's hearts, he doesn't expect this guy who is both civil and military, and knows all six arts, but in this regard, the earth's heart is as sparse as a fishing net.

"Do you think it's too cool for him not to visit the emperor himself, and not to let others visit? In fact, those are his thoughtfulness. Qin Xufei sighed lightly: "Fang Qingchen just doesn't want anyone to witness that person's madness." As for that person's living body, why did he need to inquire in person, isn't there still a Zhao Wangchen? ”

During these days, Fang Qingchen didn't go to the harem to see Chu Ruohong again, but Zhao Wangchen ran over there for three days and two days. No matter how tired and hard Fang Qingchen is, he will definitely find time to enter the palace every day. When he entered the palace, he was not a bystander, but a gentle voice and a kind smile like Li Deyi and other eunuchs to coax Chu Ruohong, trying to get close to him little by little.

After returning home every day, he would explain Chu Ruohong's condition to Fang Qingchen in detail.

Fang Qingchen never took the initiative to ask him to say it, but he didn't take the initiative to ask him to stop, he just drank his own wine. or casually assigned Zhao Wangchen a bunch of homework to crush people.

The entanglement between these two people, as well as Zhao Wangchen's selfishness, how do outsiders know. Naturally, he felt that Fang Qingchen was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask, and Zhao Wangchen, a careful apprentice, was worried about his master.

Qin Xufei said with a smile: "Withdraw all the manpower of Fang Hou Mansion, with Fang Qingchen's shrewdness, where can our people hide from his eyes, it's just too lazy to bother with you." If he really wants to do something, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out. The hatred and suspicion between Qin and Chu are inevitable, but since we want to be in charge of the government together, we must always learn to understand and trust each other. Don't keep thinking about the difference between Qin and Chu. Now this land is also our land, if we don't want others to treat us as different, we ourselves can't always treat others with suspicion and precaution. ”

Qi Shijie lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Shijie is incompetent, and he can't share the worries of the prince like General Liu." ”

Qin Xufei smiled: "Shijie, you are by my side, and you are dedicated to me, you have already helped me a lot." ”

Qi Shijie was slightly moved, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Lord Wang, actually, in fact, General Liu has been trying his best to resume news exchanges with the Qin State all these years. We secretly sent a lot of spies to sneak back to Qin to spy on domestic news, but we haven't told you all the time. ”

Qin Xufei was slightly stunned, but nodded immediately: "As long as the commander in chief chooses the right person to do the right thing, he doesn't have to know all the details, Ah Heng knows that my homeland is my most painful, and there are many things that can't be fruitful, so I can't bear to tell me, and it should be." Now that you're bringing it up, I wonder if there's some news on that line......"
