Chapter 341: Admiral of Shandong
Yes, when they were on the second day, everyone found out that this prince had brought Princess Anling out at some point, as if he was going out to play, which made those entourages hate the root of their teeth.
But even so, they did not dare to complain. After all, they can't afford to offend King Anling.
Moreover, with Qi Minglei's intentional connivance, the journey that was originally only ten days was forcibly delayed to half a month.
The officials who went with them to the disaster relief complained bitterly, but Qi Minglei's heart was a lot more comfortable.
He went to Anling County this time, and he had already received a secret report from the emperor before leaving, and the matter of Anling County was not to be worried, but the biggest hidden danger was King Anling.
Collecting evidence and knocking it into the dust at one time, so that he can never turn over again, is the biggest purpose of his trip.
Qi Minglei knew what he was going to do, so under the repeated urging of the young general, he only made a look of embarrassment and said: "Master Hou, it's not that the old minister is unwilling to hurry up, it's just that this King of Anling ......"
He didn't have to say much about the rest of the words, everyone already knew it.
Come to think of it, it's the King of Anling again!
Under Qi Minglei's deliberate connivance, when he arrived in Jinan Mansion, it was already half a month later.
Jinan Mansion is less than 100 miles away from Anling County, and the general wants to go to the green camp on the outskirts of Jinan to borrow troops, and Qi Minglei and his party are personally picked up by the governor of Shandong.
Gu Qingchi is the king of Anling, so naturally he can't live with those officials, so the governor of Shandong prepared a mansion early, prepared a singing and dancing beauty, and respectfully greeted Gu Qingchi and Shi Miaoyu.
As for Qi Minglei and others, they were placed in the mansion of the governor of Shandong.
In fact, this matter is more pleasant, because I am afraid that Qi Minglei and those people will disturb Gu Qingchi, but it is not good, it is to prevent him.
The Admiral of Shandong is the prince's person, and Qi Minglei once taught the prince homework in his early years, and he is one of his masters. The emperor thought that Qi Minglei was his confidant, but he didn't know that many of his henchmen had switched to the prince's disciples.
After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier. Those courtiers who don't want to fall with the old emperor can only find their position as early as possible and have a new bright future.
So before Qi Minglei came, someone had already sent a message to the governor of Shandong, and this person had always been reliable, and he had prepared the house early. Although he didn't think that there was anything to prevent such a swasty bag as King Anling, he had always been willing to listen to persuasion, so after Qi Minglei said it, he isolated Gu Qingchi and his wife aside.
You must know that this time in Anling County and its surroundings, the emperor was certainly trying to frame Gu Qingchi, but he got a lot of benefits. Of course, the crown prince and his subordinates also got it.
Although the emperor and the crown prince are a little disdainful of taking advantage of the people. But the emperor wanted to suppress Gu Qingchi, so he didn't feel anything. As for the crown prince, if he doesn't collect money, what will he do to entrap those courtiers?
Not to mention that the courtiers want to stand in line, the prince also needs to win people's hearts, whether it is face-saving or sincere, there is no real benefit, why should people follow him all the time?
It's just that the prince is plotting because of the governor of Shandong, so the emperor doesn't know that his son is also playing tricks under his nose.
Even Qi Minglei, whom he trusted very much this time, came for a purpose that was not simple. First, he wanted to make the evidence of Gu Qingchi's guilt for the emperor into ironclad evidence, so that he could not argue against it, and second, he wanted to win over other officials in Shandong for the crown prince. Such a rich land, if it is consolidated, can become the prince's money bag like Jiangnan.
He has a plan in his heart, and he is comfortable on both sides, and he is a confidant.
At this time, when he saw the governor of Shandong, he seemed to be the spokesperson of the prince, and he talked with him as he pushed the cup and changed the lamp.
Because Gu Qingchi had already been resettled, he was not invited to this private banquet at noon, only the governor of Shandong and those henchmen were here.
After three rounds of drinking, he talked about Gu Qingchi.
"On King Anling's side, how should I arrange my humble position?"
Hearing his inquiry, Qi Minglei smiled unclearly: "Offer." ”
"Offering?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said happily: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Although he is far away in Shandong, it is also clear that this King of Anling is a straw bag, and now although he came because of an accident in his fiefdom Anling County, could it be that they can still count on this useless prince to take charge of the overall situation?
Isn't that what you have to offer?
......
Gu Qingchi really did not live up to the expectations of these people, when he arrived in Jinan Mansion, he either found fault and made things difficult for officials, or went out with Shi Miaoyu to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
After coming down like this, those who were sent over to serve Gu Qingchi close together were holding their breath in their hearts, but after Qi Minglei heard their report, he was relieved.
As long as King Anling doesn't make trouble and hinders them from doing things, what if the chickens fly and the dogs jump? Anyway, at most, he won't be able to flutter after jumping for more than half a month!
Qi Minglei's abacus in this compartment played loudly, and Gu Qingchi in that compartment seemed to be unaware, but when the weather was fine one day, he took Shi Miaoyu to the nearby mountains to play.
It is the day of April, the grass grows and the warbler flies in spring, the mountains in the north of the city are full of flowers, as far as the eye can see, the green mountains and clear waters, it is really a good spring scenery.
Shi Miaoyu originally didn't want to come out today, but then she couldn't stand Gu Qingchi's entanglement, and whispered a few words in her ear, and she came with Gu Qingchi.
However, after coming and seeing such scenery, she felt that this trip was worthwhile, but she let go of the things in her heart and pulled him up the mountain with great interest.
It had just rained, and the mountain path was paved with moss in a place where the sun did not shine, and the green was so green that people would be in a good mood when they looked at it.
Shi Miaoyu was playful, and deliberately stepped on her foot from time to time, which caused Gu Qingchi to be extra careful to help her, for fear that she would slip because of this.
At first, Shi Miaoyu didn't feel tired by playing, but when he was halfway up the mountain, he felt that his breath was a little uneven, and when he saw a small pavilion not far away, he suddenly smiled: "Let's go sit for a while." ”
Gu Qingchi naturally would not refuse, and helped her to walk over together.
The location of this pavilion is so good that when you look at the foot of the mountain, you can see the continuous clouds and mist between the mountains and the looming green below.
Xu is the relationship between the mountains and trees everywhere, Shi Miaoyu only smells the air here, and he feels very good. She took a deep breath and smiled a little.
However, Gu Qingchi had no intention of looking at the beautiful scenery, so he just took the water from the attendant's hand, handed it to her, and said, "After walking for half a day, are you thirsty?" ”
Although the scenery in this mountain is good, it is not as good as the people in front of you.
She's looking at the view, and he's looking at her.
Feeling Gu Qingchi's almost scorching gaze, Shi Miaoyu took the kettle in disguise, took two sips of it, and asked, "Does the prince want to drink?"
She originally wanted to ask Gu Qingchi if she wanted to take a sip too, but when her words fell, this person took the kettle in his hand, said "yes", and drank it.
Shi Miaoyu was stunned for a moment, obviously the entourage brought a lot of kettles, and she deliberately divided several kettles before she came, why did he want to rob her of drink?
Xu is this girl's indignation is too obvious, after Gu Qingchi finished drinking, he smiled at her with extra leisurely feelings, and said, "What, do you still want to drink?"
When she went out today, she applied a thin layer of lipstick, which was the color of peach blossom pollen. When I was drinking water, I accidentally stuck to the kettle. I don't know if Gu Qingchi was intentional or unintentional, the place where he drank the water was the place where he had just drank.
At this time, the remaining color of the lipid was printed on his lips, a shallow touch of powder, but people couldn't ignore it.
Shi Miaoyu suddenly blushed, shook his head, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, and said, "The prince wiped his mouth." ”
Fortunately, he was facing away from everyone at this time, so they couldn't see it, otherwise he would have been laughed at.
However, Gu Qingchi didn't react to what she meant, and it wasn't until Shi Miaoyu pointed to the corner of his lips with a blushing face that Gu Qingchi realized it, he took the handkerchief and wiped it, and sure enough, he saw a touch blooming on the milky white handkerchief*.
That's the color on Shi Miaoyu's lips.
For some reason, Gu Qingchi suddenly felt that his chest was beating a little faster, and his lower abdomen was even more enthusiastic. He curled his lips slightly, and reached out to wipe the corners of his lips.
It is a very natural action, but Shi Miaoyu feels a little ambiguous from it.
Her face turned red, and she turned her head away from Gu Qingchi's appearance, but that heart was like a drum, beating extremely hard.
How can this person be sultry all the time?
When Gu Qingchi saw her like this, the smile on his lips expanded, but in the end, he didn't dare to tease his little wife too much when he was outside, so he took her hand and said with a smile: "Keep going?"
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu nodded and continued to move forward with Gu Qingchi.
The rest of the road was not as leisurely as before. The fatigue of climbing the mountain became more obvious after resting for a while. If it weren't for the mountain scenery that could still attract Shi Miaoyu, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to move a long time ago.
Gu Qingchi looked at the little wife who was shouting tired and walking up firmly, the smile on his face deepened a little, and all the strength in his hand was used to support her, for fear that Shi Miaoyu would fall.
When he finally reached the top of the mountain, Shi Miaoyu let out a sigh of relief. When I looked down at the ground from a high place, I was instantly captivated by the beautiful scenery of the mountains. The previous tiredness was swept away, and only the admiration and worship of the miraculous work of nature remained.
Shi Miaoyu stood here for a long time, and only when she realized that her legs were sore, did Gu Qingchi open her mouth and smile: "There is a temple over there, but you want to go around?"
He has never believed in gods and Buddhas, but he saw Shi Miaoyu's devout bowing appearance, so he asked.
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu looked in the direction he guided, and sure enough, he saw an ancient temple under the shade of trees not far away.
She was distracted, nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”
The temple looks old, but the incense is at its peak, and most of the people who come are women.
Although Gu Qingchi didn't believe this, but when he saw Shi Miaoyu's expression, he still resolutely accompanied her in.
After not wanting to enter the door, he saw that all the kneeling people in the hall were women and children.
This time, it's not even a man who can't see it.
Gu Qingchi looked particularly abrupt when she walked in, and Shi Miaoyu obviously felt it, after she looked at the portrait, her face suddenly turned red, and she didn't kneel down, but grabbed Gu Qingchi's hand and whispered, "Let's go?"
