"Yuan Ang is this person~"

"Tsk;"

"How can I say it······"

Ganquan Palace, hot spring pool.

Tianziqi, who had just soaked in the hot spring, was lying comfortably on the recliner by the pool, turning his head slightly;

Liu Sheng sat on the edge of the pool, soaked his feet in the hot spring, pursed his lips with hesitation, and shook his head to himself.

"Let's put it this way."

"——The teacher once said: Yuan Ang is a person with a strong ability to do things;"

"No matter what it is, as long as it is handed over to Yuan An, it can always be handled very properly."

"But this is because Yuan Ang is a person, almost all friends and everyone knows him;"

"No matter where Yuan Ang goes or who he is in front of, there will always be someone who will give Yuan Ang face and try to cooperate with Yuan Ang."

"Such a person ······"

"Tsk, Erchen can't say it."

"I just think ~~"

"Hmm~~~"

"—Yuan An, he doesn't look like a courtier."

"Rather like a chivalrous man?"

was full of hesitant words, only to provoke Tianzi Qi to shake his head with a chuckle.

Turning sideways, he took the water bowl handed by Mrs. Jia, and while tasting the warm honey water, he continued to ask: "Then how should a person like Yuan Ang be appointed?" ”

"What position can bring all of Yuan An's talents into play?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng thought about it again and again, and finally shook his head.

"Erchen doesn't know."

"Erchen just thinks that Yuan An's debt to people everywhere may make him encounter a situation of 'having to repay favors' when he holds a certain position;"

"This is likely to make Yuan Ang use his authority to repay the favors he owes."

"If this is really the case, then no matter what kind of position it is, it should not be handed over to Yuan An······"

"-yes~"

After patiently listening to Liu Sheng's opinions, he saw that the Son of Heaven Qi sat up from the recliner with relief;

He nodded with a smile on his face, and did not forget to grin at Liu Sheng again.

"This is the reason why I have never let Yuan Ang hold a certain position for a long time over the past so many years."

"Yuan Ang's old friends are all over the world, and his friends are all over the world;"

"When there is something that Yuan Ang needs to deal with, these people can naturally bring a lot of benefits to Yuan Ang;"

"But once Yuan Ang takes up important positions, these 'friends' will become moths that Yuan Ang can't refuse."

"—If Yuan Ang had become a court lieutenant, these people would have begged him to pardon his relatives and friends;"

"—If Yuan Ang becomes a Shaofu, these people will beg him so that he can keep the Shaofu's wealth for themselves;"

"No matter what kind of position he is, as long as Yuan Ang sits on it and has power, someone will always find him and force him to use his power for personal gain."

"Therefore, in the past few years, neither the first emperor nor I have appointed Yuan Ang as an important minister."

"Only when something needs to be solved urgently, Yuan Ang will be temporarily appointed to a certain position, and then Yuan Ang will be asked to solve the matter."

"After the matter is resolved, Yuan Ang will be removed from his position and given a fictitious title such as doctor in the middle and doctor in Taizhong."

"Huh······"

"-For this matter, the queen mother did not complain less······"

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he put the water bowl in his hand beside him and stood up from the chaise longue;

Stretching lazily, and then exhaling comfortably, Tianzi Qicai lowered his head sideways again, looking at Liu Sheng, who was soaking his feet by the pool.

After thinking about it for a while, he stepped forward, sat down beside Liu Sheng, and followed Liu Sheng's example, soaking his feet by the pool.

"uh~~~"

"Comfort;"

"After all, I haven't been to Ganquan for many years······

Tianzi Qi was full of enjoyment, but it only provoked Liu Shengbai to bow his head in boredom;

While swinging his feet, he didn't forget to instinctively mutter, "I obviously come to ······ every summer."

"Last year, I still brought Wang Meiren with me······"

was debunked by Liu Sheng again, but Tianzi Qi was already numb, only raised his head without changing his face, and patted Liu Sheng on the back of the head.

"-I'm still in front of you~"

"Stinky Boy ······"

"I don't know if I'm carrying a little bit of ······ on my back"

The 'friendly' interaction between the father and son also provoked Mrs. Jia on the side to nod her head again and again.

With a gentle smile, he sat down on the chaise longue, looked at the backs of the father and son soaking their feet, and was stunned with a smile.

- Ganquan Palace, of course Mrs. Jia has been here.

Especially in the years after giving birth to her eldest son Liu Pengzu, it was Mrs. Jia who accompanied the Son of Heaven to Ganquan Palace every year.

But in Mrs. Jia's impression, the picture in front of her made Mrs. Jia experience a little 'family' for the first time in her life.

Of course, compared to the ups and downs of ordinary farmers, the scene in front of me is nothing.

But for Mrs. Jia and the father and son in front of her, such a warm scene can also be called 'precious'······

"Your Majesty."

In the silence, a low exhalation caused a family of three to look sideways;

When you see it clearly, it is the new lieutenant: Zhidu, and Mrs. Jia subconsciously stood up from the recliner.

After a while, seeing Liu Sheng also standing up from the edge of the pool, the Son of Heaven finally spoke: "The little bastard stays; ”

Subconsciously said a word, and saw Tianziqi turn sideways a little and look at Mrs. Jia, who was also about to leave behind him.

"Jaggie ······"

"Stay, too."

"Hear more about these things;"

"In the future, when it is useful."

said indifferently, which finally made Mrs. Jia calm down a little, and she did not forget to cast her eyes for help to her son Liu Sheng beside Tianziqi.

After Liu Sheng also nodded his head gently, Jia Fu endured the uneasiness in his heart and sat down on the stone bench beside him.

A moment later, Tianziqi and Liu Sheng's father and son also stood up from the pool, Tianziqi sat back on the reclining chair, and Liu Sheng came to Mrs. Jia's side and patted his mother's back with a smile.

"Sooner or later, there will be a ······ for this day"

"Huh?"

Liu Sheng's gentle tone came from behind him, and it finally made Mrs. Jia take a long breath.

Stretched out his hand to his shoulder, gently grabbed Liu Sheng's hand, and then turned over calmly and looked at Zhidu, who was also sitting down beside Tianzi Qi not far away.

And the first sentence that Zhi Du said made Jia Fucai's newly calm heart instantly feel uneasy······

"Li Ji, she has been sent to Changle, and she is personally guarded by the Northern Army Guard;

"That incident was instructed behind the scenes by Li Ji's brother Li Ben, who had committed suicide in prison."

"The Ranger Ji Xin under the command of Li Ben ······"

"—the minister was a step too late and let him escape."

After saying the last sentence 'let him escape', Zhidu lowered his head with shame;

In front of Zhidu, Tian Ziqi, who was slumped on the recliner, also changed into a 'work-specific expression' in an instant, although he was still wearing a casual single robe, his face instantly became serious.

"Ji Xin, it's just a thief, don't worry;"

"It's a chestnut······

"—no one instructed you?"

"The Li Ben I know, I shouldn't have this brain, right?"

asked softly, only to cause Zhi Du to nod his head heavily.

"That matter was personally discussed with Ji Xin by Li Ben."

"But the subordinates of the Li Mansion said: Before Li Ben went to find Ji Xin, someone came to the door to look for Li Ben;"

"It's just that who this person is, the minister really can't find out."

"-Come to think of it, it should be the one who gave Li Ben the idea, and sent the pawn who went to find Li Ben;"

"And now, Ji Xin doesn't know where to go, Li Ben has also died in the lieutenant's secret prison, and that pawn is afraid that he is already ······"

Hearing the figure in Zhidu's words, Tianzi Qi only nodded again;

After a moment of silence, he turned sideways slightly and beckoned to Liu Sheng.

"Come here;"

"Come to me."

The father of the Son of Heaven had an order, and Liu Shengzi could only appease his mother again, and then stepped forward.

Seeing Tianzi Qi wave his hand lightly, he motioned for Liu Sheng to sit down on the other side;

On this side, Liu Sheng was just about to sit down, but Tianziqi's eyes had already looked at Zhidu on that side.

"Where's the court?"

"What is the reaction of the hundred officials in the DPRK?"

"Among the meritorious princes, is there anyone involved?"

Hearing this, Zhi Du only bowed slightly.

"Yu Shi Doctor Tao Qing seems to want to do something, but after Nei Shi Chao came to the door by mistake and scolded him, he died down."

"Nei Shi Chao Cuo, Imperial Lieutenant Zhang Ou, Imperial Servant Liu She, and Shaofu Xiao Sheng have all understood Your Majesty's intentions and are waiting for Your Majesty's instructions."

"The pawn grandson is mixed with evil and Wei Wei is unsuspicious, and they have decided to stay out of the matter, focus on their own duties, and not meddle in this matter."

"It's Yuan An······"

Halfway through the words, Zhi Du quietly stopped talking, looked at Tianzi Qi meaningfully, and then glanced at Liu Sheng on the side;

Seeing Zhidu's posture, the Son of Heaven didn't take it seriously, but said indifferently: "Go on; ”

"What's wrong with Yuan An?"

But when he saw that Zhi Du heard this, a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face;

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Tianzi Qi meaningfully: "Outside the gate, it seems that someone is coming······"

As soon as these words came out, Tianzi Qi's face changed slightly;

Without waiting for Liu Sheng to react, he hurriedly coughed lightly twice, and looked at Zhi for a while.

"Hmm~"

"I see."

"What else?"

"Who else is involved in this matter?"

Seeing that Tianziqi finally reacted, Zhidu breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the conversation.

"The Minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, no one is involved in this matter."

"However, in the palace, there seem to be many subordinate officials, who feel ······ for the eldest son of the emperor."

"—not angry?"

"Or should I say, unwilling to ······"

Whispering, Zhi Du couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly, carefully observing the change in Tianziqi's expression.

On the other side of Tianziqi, hearing the endless question and answer between the two monarchs and ministers, Liu Sheng also wasted a lot of strength, and finally vaguely understood something by relying on the three words 'eldest son of the emperor' mentioned in Zhidu's last sentence.

As for Tianzi Qi, after Zhidu's report ended, he fell into a long stupor;

After dozens of breaths, Tianzi Qicai sneered, sneered and raised his head, and leaned the back of his head on the back of the recliner.

"Huh······"

"The Imperial Palace's Subordinate ······"

"I haven't yet canonized the crown prince, and the subordinate officials of the imperial palace have all recognized the lord in advance~"

"Hey;"

"Hey······ hey"

The laughter full of sarcasm only caused Zhi Du and Liu Sheng to subconsciously bow their heads;

Even Mrs. Jia, who was not far away, also took a deep breath uneasily, and looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, which was full of worry.

After a long time, Tianzi Qi stopped laughing, exhaled a little, and sat up straight.

"The subordinate officials of the Imperial Palace, all those who are involved with the eldest son of the emperor will be disposed of."

"-Even if there is no involvement, they will all be dismissed!"

"Order the Shaofu to select another batch of subordinate officials and fill them into the imperial palace."

"This matter, as soon as possible."

Shen Sheng gave an order, and when Zhi Du got up and arched his hand, Tianzi Qi turned his body to the other side, and Liu Sheng, who was also about to stand up.

"Leave you homework."

"——After I go back, think about it: what exactly is what Zhidu told me just now."

"How should I deal with this matter, what links should I be careful about, and who needs special attention?"

"Now that you've figured it out, go to the dormitory to look for me."

After a little serious 'homework', Tianzi Qicai finally stood up and put on that relaxed smile again.

"Alright;"

"Take your mother and go to the hot springs again."

"——It's rare to come to Ganquan once, and when I go back to Chang'an, I can't soak in ······"

heard that Tianzi Qi deliberately supported himself, and Liu Shengzi did not doubt him;

Nodding his head slightly, he hugged his mother and walked towards the palace not far away.

"It's still a fart······"

"It's been soaked for a day, and the skin is going to soak off······"

"—be quiet!"

"-Let Your Majesty listen, and hit you again!"

The mother and the two left head to ear, and the Son of Heaven only stopped in place with a smile on his face, watching the mother and son leave;

When the mother and son were far away, Tianzi Qi's face was 'swish' on one side, and in the blink of an eye, he brought a touch of ruthlessness!

"That bastard is here, what are you doing outside the gate?!"

forcibly lowered his voice and let out an angry roar, Tianzi Qi still did not forget to subconsciously turn sideways and look at the direction where the mother and son left;

After making sure that the mother and son were far away, the Son of Heaven Qicai threw his angry gaze to Zhidu in front of him.

"Ministers, ministers don't want to talk about it······"

"But Your Majesty ······"

muttered a few words that he wanted to say and stopped, but Zhi Du finally gave up his defense, and knelt on the ground and bowed his hand as if resigned to his fate.

"Minister, ······ guilty"

"Humph!"

Snorted coldly, sat back on the recliner indignantly, and smashed his body on the backrest, the Son of Heaven Qicai asked angrily: "Say it now!" ”

"What's wrong with Yuan An?!"

was frightened by the inexplicable anger of Tianzi Qi, and Zhidu's face was immediately full of grievances.

But after all, he has cooperated with his superiors and subordinates for many years, and after a little adjustment, Zhidu adjusted his mentality;

After a little wording, he subconsciously looked left and right, and before getting up, he attached his ear to the side of Tianzi Qi;

"King Liang's side, there is already a move;"

"The first batch of people sent has already entered Chang'an City."

"It's just that Yuan Ang's side has made a slight mistake······"

"—What's wrong?"

Hearing Zhi Du talk about business, Tianzi Qi also lowered his anger slightly, but his brows immediately furrowed.

Seeing that Zhi Du continued to whisper: "The assassin sent by King Liang to assassinate Yuan Ang did not do it; ”

"Not only did he do it, but he also told Yuan Ang about his origin."

"Right now, Yuan Ang has taken precautions, but I'm afraid it's ······"

Just right to stop talking, Zhi Du straightened up, lowered his head and took a step back, put his hand in front of his abdomen, and quietly waited for the instructions of Tianzi Qi.

And after Zhidu's announcement, Tianziqi's face was indeed as Zhidu expected, and it suddenly became a little cloudy.

"Assassins don't stab, but take the initiative to reveal their purpose?"

"Also warn Yuan Ang in advance?"

"Why?!"

"-Just because of Yuan An, he made friends with the three sects and nine streams everywhere?"

was full of sarcastic questions, but Zhi Du nodded slowly;

And Tianziqi's face also completely darkened as Zhi Du nodded······

"For Yuan An, I still have a sense of guilt······"

"But in this way, Yuan Ang ······"

"-Damn it·········"

The eerie murmur only provoked Zhi Du to lower his head a little more.

After a long while, he tentatively spoke again: "Since you have precautions, then Yuan Ang, I'm afraid he won't be stabbed to death; ”

"But Your Majesty said before that this time, one person must die······"

Zhi Du asked tentatively, but it made Tianzi Qi purse his lips with annoyance, and leaned back with a gloomy face;

Leaning on the back of the chair, subconsciously swaying the recliner back and forth, Tianziqi's face became more and more gloomy.

"I thought that Yuan Ang was Jiuqing again, and he was the queen mother's guest;"

"Death of Yuan Ang should be enough to make the Queen Mother die······"

"Hmmm······"

Sitting on the recliner with a gloomy expression, he subconsciously raised his hand and gently stroked the shortness under his chin, and the deep gaze of Tianzi Qi began to gradually flash a little essence.

Zhidu, on the other hand, stood aside, quietly waiting for the final instructions of the Son of Heaven.

After about a stick of incense, the Son of Heaven came back to his senses from his thoughts.

It was at that moment that the Son of Heaven was still full of clouds, and there was only absolute confidence that everything was under control.

"'Guests' from outside the customs, send someone to keep an eye on them;"

"You can put it in the city gate, but you definitely can't put it in the palace gate."

"Yuan An's side, you don't have to do anything deliberately."

"-Keep an eye on those 'guests' at all times, and never do anything else until they make a move!"

"As long as the first person dies, shoot immediately and take them all!"

"Be sure to keep your mouth alive!"

"Absolutely, absolutely, never make a second human ······"

Tianzi Qi's deep voice made Zhi Du nod again and again, indicating that he understood.

When Tianzi Qi slumped back in his chair and waved his hand to himself, Zhi Du finally stepped forward with a little doubt, and asked softly: "That, damn ······"

"Or Yuan An?"

asked inexplicably, but only caused Tianzi Qi to smile meaningfully, asked his head to the other side, and then closed his eyes with a strange smile.

"If it's Yuan An, then of course it's the best;"

"But if Yuan Ang doesn't die······

"Hey ······"

"Then, it can only depend on luck~"

···

"That's right;"

"Chao Cuo and Tao Qing, you still keep an eye on it a little."

"-My brother~"

"-I'm afraid, I'm already crazy~~~"

Finally, after saying another word, Tianzi Qi waved his hand again, and turned his back;

After Zhi Du left, Tianziqi, who was lying on the side of the recliner, finally showed a playful smile on his face.

"Who could it be······"

"Who will it be·········

The state is a little sluggish, and I don't want to affect the quality, so I deleted and changed it repeatedly, and then I came out with these two today.

That's all for today, and on the weekend, I'll take a little rest and go for a walk. (I didn't go out for a week, either I was eating or sleeping, and I was going to suffocate······ ）
