Qi Wangfu.

A man in a gorgeous robe got out of the carriage, and with a gloomy face, he strode into the palace. A disciple caught a glimpse of this person and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Why did the little grandfather come here at this hour?"

The little grandfather frowned and asked, "The prince hasn't returned to the house yet?" ”

The man said: "The prince wants to talk to the two servants of the Ministry of Industry at noon, but I am afraid that he will come back later today." ”

The little grandfather waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, I'll go in and wait by myself." ”

The man stopped after sending two steps, and the servants and servants in the palace ignored it, and only let the little grandfather enter the palace.

After a while, the little grandfather entered a side courtyard, which was extremely elegant, planted scattered bamboo, and a middle-aged scholar sat on a stone bench, holding a chess in his hand.

The little grandfather snorted coldly, went straight over and picked up the warm wine in the stove, poured himself a glass and drank it all.

The middle-aged scholar glanced up, then lowered his head and said, "The little grandfather is not in a good mood today? ”

The little grandfather complained: "Mr. Qin, your plan is broken!" ”

Mr. Qin only replied and continued to play chess.

The little grandfather was anxious: "Tsk, Mr. Qin, I said that your plan is broken!" ”

Mr. Qin put down the chess pieces and said with a smile: "The strategy is made by people, and it will naturally be broken." The so-called man is not as good as the sky. ”

The little grandfather arched the fire and said: "Mr. Qin, you are Xiao Zhuge ah!" ”

Mr. Qin waved his hand again and again: "No, how can you compare to Zhuge Wuhou?" Little grandfather, what kind of grudge do you have with the Xue family? Why are you so stubborn? ”

This little grandfather is Xu Fu, the third son of Wei Guogong, who was immediately furious when he heard this, and said, "What is the grudge? The hatred of taking a wife! If it weren't for the Xue family's request to marry, I would have married Qi Xia a long time ago, where would it have been delayed so far? ”

Mr. Qin persuaded with a smile: "At the moment of major events, the little grandfather should not be obsessed with such personal grievances. ”

Xu Fu snorted twice and didn't say a word, obviously unwilling in his heart.

The noble family is retired with the country, if it is not necessary for the sons of such nobles as him, where will he interfere in the change of imperial power?

The Duke of Wei had a clear plan for his third son Xu Fu a long time ago, married Qi Xia, and enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth. However, the Xue family inserted a bar and forcibly stirred up the matter. Xu Fu was unwilling in his heart, and after watching for the past two years, he voted for King Qi as an eagle dog minion.

Xue Xun, a third-grade master, Xu Fu didn't dare to provoke, so he could only sprinkle his anger on his son Xue Yi.

Seeing that Mr. Qin didn't care at all, Xu Fu was thinking about how to provoke Mr. Qin to come up with another means, so at this time, a group of people came out of the Moon Gate.

The first person was dressed in a python robe, the same age as Xu Fu, walking with his hands in his hands, and his face was loyal. There was also a little eunuch holding the dust beside him.

The two didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly got up to salute.

The python-robed man only waved his hand casually: "There is no need to be so polite in private." Ziliang, how many good players have you been in the rivers and lakes recently? ”

Xu Fuyan said: "Your Highness, your subordinates have sent people to the East China Sea in the past two days, and I expect that the East China Sea Sanjue will take refuge in His Highness sooner or later. ”

"Three Uniques in the East China Sea?" King Qi frowned.

Mr. Na Qin said: "The three absolute brothers in the East China Sea are three brothers, they were maritime merchants in their early years, and later they went to sea to become pirates when they committed eucalyptus, and they have made a lot of names in recent years. ”

King Qi nodded and said, "If these three people surrender and change their names and surnames to protect a sailor errand, maybe they will be able to use it in the future." ”

Mr. Qin invited King Qi to sit down, poured warm wine for him with his own hands, and then asked, "How did Your Highness talk with the two waiters today?" ”

King Qi shook his head with a wry smile: "Zhang Shilang has a slippery temperament, and he never talks about death; But Na Li Shilang is a stubborn man, and no matter how much the king persuades, he will not settle the account.

The two palaces in the palace have been in disrepair for a long time, and the female officials in the palace were injured by the falling tiles last month, and the queen mother was frightened and has not slept peacefully so far. My father asked this king to watch the government in the Ministry of Works, if this errand is messed up, I am afraid that this king will make my father disgusted......"

Mr. Qin frowned and asked, "What did Li Shilang say?" ”

King Qi said: "What else can you say? The household department is empty, and it refuses to allocate two silver taels for repairs, and the Ministry of Industry can't move the silver to repair the palace? ”

Mr. Qin suddenly smiled with a smile: "Your Highness, the household department has always been taken care of by the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness only needs to report such matters to the present, where is there any need to worry like this?" ”

King Qi sighed and said: "That's what I said, but this king and the king of Chu are brothers and sisters, and they kill each other for the sake of the great treasure...... Every time I think of this, the king can't bear it in his heart. ”

Xu Fu looked at King Qi with a gentle look, and said in his heart If he hadn't done a lot of things with King Qi, he was afraid that he would be confused by King Qi when they met for the first time? Who would have thought that the gentle King Qi would secretly gather a lot of good players?

Mr. Na Qin persuaded: "The King of Chu has been in the government and household department for more than three years, and he has not clarified the arrears of the past years, but I am afraid that he will already be dissatisfied. If His Royal Highness doesn't want to hurt his brotherhood, why don't you reveal this matter to His Royal Highness King Wei. ”

"This ...... King Rong Ben will do it later. ”

Mr. Qin saw that King Qi was obviously moved, so he smiled and didn't say more.

King Qi drank a glass of wine and said, "There is a fast ship to deliver a report today, so Xue Xun will arrive in Beijing in a few days." Mr. Qin, I don't know how this king should deal with it? ”

Mr. Qin smiled: "Why does Your Highness have to deal with it? Xue Xun was originally a fortunate minister, but now he is the knife in his hand. Your Highness only needs to guard the gate and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger. In the next decision, Xue Xun entered Beijing this time, and the king of Wei and the king of Chu will not be pleased. ”

"The two royal brothers can't please them, how can this king please them?"

"Your Highness's words are wrong. His Royal Highness has only been in government for two years, what does the deficit of the various ministries have to do with His Highness? ”

King Qi said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Qin, this king has been in the mansion for a few years, and his hand is really tight, and he has only moved 60,000 taels of silver from the household department in the past two years." ”

Mr. Qin pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, this matter is all up to now." In the end of the spring and autumn is high, and the next material will not be easy to lift the lid. ”

"Sir said so, this king knows it in his heart." King Qi paused, looked at Xu Fu and said, "Ziliang, this king knows that you have a dirty relationship with the Xue family. This is not the time for a battle of wills, and when the major event is settled, this king will give Ziliang an explanation. ”

Xu Fu immediately thanked him and said, "Don't worry, I won't spoil the prince." ”

………………………………

Shenjian Sai Meng tasted Xue Zhenye in his grandfather's house for two days, and when the number of people watching the picture gradually became scarce, he went out and went to Chaotian Palace first.

Chaotian Palace is located in the inner city, Xue Zhenye secretly thought in his heart, although there are many Shenjing Buddhist temples, they are all in the outer city, but this Chaotian Palace is in the inner city. I think the royal family still pays more attention to the Daomen.

Beat the horse, flew in front of the gate of Chaotian Palace and dismounted, said a word to the Zhike Taoist, and handed the Dao Slip, and the Zhike Taoist let Xue Zhenye enter by himself.

Xue Zhenye wandered around, stopped the Taoist to listen, and then found the uncle in the back quiet room.

Uncle Xu Degui has been in Zhenwu for more than 20 years, and now he is in his early fifties, with a dignified appearance, but unfortunately he has never entered the Tao.

The two of them saluted, Xue Zhenye answered some questions about real martial arts, and only after drinking a cup of tea did he ask: "Uncle Shi, most of the disciples in this Chaotian Palace are ordinary Taoist priests, and there are only two or three people who really cultivate...... Doesn't it mean that Chaotian Palace has a True Cultivation High Dao resident every year? ”

Xu Degui's face suddenly became solemn, he got up and tiptoed open the door to look around, closed the door and turned around before saying: "The change of imperial power, my Dao Gate can't avoid it, how can I really cultivate the high Dao dare to stay in Chaotian Palace at this time?" ”

"Didn't Zhang Tianshi stay here for more than a lifetime before?"

Xu Degui pouted and said, "Master Zhang...... How could the Heavenly Master's Mansion act the same as ordinary Dao Sects like us? Moreover, the Heavenly Master Zhang lived in the Divine Optimism, not this Chaotian Palace. ”

God is optimistic, also known as the palace of the Emperor Zhenwu, is the family temple of the Yin family, under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple.

This Dragon and Tiger Mountain Zhang Tianshi entered Shenjing and did not enter Chaotian Palace, but went to God to be optimistic, which is quite reverie.

Xue Zhenye thought for a while, and then said: "Master, the disciple said something that should not be said, the change of imperial power, if my Daomen does not participate in it, what should I do if I get the position of Buddha and light Tao in the future?" ”

Xu Degui said with a smile: "I have long heard from the old prison that Zhenye has a lot of ghost thoughts, and it is true." Zhenyi, what you are thinking about, we naturally have also considered. Fang is all over the Buddhist temples today, and my Taoist gate is already weak compared to it. No matter who of the highnesses has ascended the great treasure, just compare it, that is, I believe in the Buddha in my heart, and this court must be slightly biased towards my Daomen. ”

Xue Zhenye suddenly said, "Yes, the world, the emperor's mental technique, whoever ascends the treasure must also seek a way of balance." Otherwise, the family is dominant, and the monks have grabbed the right to speak, but they are afraid that the world will be turned into a Buddha country, and who will pay attention to the son of heaven at that time?

It's just that Xue Zhenye still has hesitation in his heart, the inheritance of the throne, or the orderly succession, or the selection of talents, but those princes have been confined to the deep palace since they were children, and they are longer than the hands of women, so they are afraid that the Buddha Gate will not be suppressed for a while, but they will hand the knife to the Daomen.

That Xu Degui lowered his voice and said: "Zhenyi, in the past few years, the court has been full of orange clouds, you are a true cultivator in the back mountain, and the adults in the family are high-ranking officials of the third grade, so you should be clumsy at this time." Don't get involved, lest something unbearable happen in the future. ”

Knowing that Xu Degui was good for himself, Xue Zhenye hurriedly took the head: "The disciple is taught, the master can rest assured, the disciple is only sixteen years old, even if he wants to interfere, he is afraid that he will not be able to intervene." ”

The two gossiped for a while, and Xue Zhenye got up to say goodbye. When I returned to my grandfather's house, I just entered the inner house, and I saw the cave coming out with joy.

"Erlang, it's a great event!"

Xue Zhenye put one hand behind him, walked away, and asked with a smile: "What are you happy about?" ”

The cave also said: "In the morning, the emperor made a decree and gave a three-entry mansion in the inner city to Lord Yintai. At noon today, there was a news from Malay, saying that Master Yintai would be able to enter Beijing in the next two days. ”

The political envoy is also known as Yintai, and the cheap dad is going to Beijing? That's a good thing.

Xue Zhenye calculated that he was now sixteen, and Yin Suqing was seventeen. At this time, a woman will marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which is too late for someone like Yin Suqing.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and when Xue Xun enters Beijing, he must always be asked to propose marriage again.
