Weiyang Palace, front hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are reporting on everything.

Liu Che launched a series of thorough investigations according to the two Changshi and Duwei brought back from Lujiang County by Huo Quai, and in the past two days, there has been an undercurrent in the government and the opposition, and some ministers have faintly smelled a certain smell and become cautious in their words and deeds.

Before finding out Liu Che's intentions, these ministers were more cautious than before.

The atmosphere at the court meeting was also quite depressing, and the mountain rain was about to come.

And just as the court meeting was in progress, there was a sudden silence in the hall, but it was the ministers who sensed that there were qi fluctuations in the city at the same time, and someone was fighting.

"How dare you fight in the city, and use magic?"

Cao Peng, who was under the command of Jiuqing Tingwei, came out and admonished: "If you fight in the city, you will be severely punished according to the law!" ”

Chang'an explicitly forbids fighting.

At this moment, not only are there people fighting, but there is also such a big movement.

This made Cao Peng Han Jiang, the subordinate of Tingwei, who was in charge of criminal law, quite angry, which was equivalent to giving him eye medicine under the emperor's nose.

Liu Che was high on the dragon throne, glanced in the direction where the qi machine fluctuations came from, his eyes seemed to penetrate the distance, and said indifferently: "It is indeed a severe punishment, it is the two of them who are sick and Pingxian are doing it, it is really nonsense." ”

Huo Shizhong and Princess Pingxian?

Cao Peng Han Jiang quietly retracted his steps, forget it, I'm actually not that angry.

The princess won't say it, Huo Shizhong is His Majesty's confidant, you listen to the tone set by His Majesty for the two of them, 'nonsense', if anyone has to pursue it, he just didn't understand the holy will.

Fighting, in the end, is not a big deal.

At this time, Liu Che's lips opened and closed, but no sound came out.

The courtiers are all human spirits, and at a glance it can be seen that His Majesty is spreading the word to Huo Shizhong and the princess in the air.

The hall was silent.

"I will inquire about the affairs of the two of them and continue to go to court."

The meaning of the question is that I have already made a move, so you don't have to worry about it.

Liu Che's words fell, but his heart moved slightly: "Neither the sick nor the screen is a reckless and impulsive person, why did the two deliberately spread the qi and cause the big movement?" ”

A morning when the sun is blazing.

In the inner study, Liu Che, who had left the early dynasty, sat on the main seat, reading the recital with his head bored.

Behind the low seats on the left and right, Liu Qing and Huo Qubing sat respectively, and the study was also quiet.

"Do you two know you're wrong?" Liu Che suddenly asked.

"I know, the minister shouldn't do anything with the princess." Huo Quzhi said calmly.

Liu Qing then said: "It was my hand that moved first, and he was mostly defensive." ”

"Nonsense!"

Liu Che: "The two of you fight in public and disrupt the court meeting, you must take it as a warning, and if you dare to commit it again, you will be severely punished." ”

Huo Qu bowed down and said, "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty to punish him heavily." ”

Liu Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

He watched Huo Qu grow up sick, and when he saw that he took the initiative to ask for punishment, he became more and more sure that there was a reason for the incident: "Why do you want to punish you heavily?" ”

Huo Quzhi organized his language and said:

"Your Majesty said before that the minister would do a good job of the matter at hand, and he would allow the minister to lead the army to fight with the army, so the minister wants to find out the culprit behind Liu Huai's murder as soon as possible and completely end this matter."

Liu Che groaned: "Do you want me to punish you and make people think that you have lost your favor here?"

So you already have a suspicion, and the other party is in Chang'an? ”

Liu Che is worthy of being the emperor of later generations, this mind and insight, perceptive, straight to the hearts of the people.

"Your Majesty is clear, the minister has this intention.

But who it is, the minister is just suspicious, and he is not sure at the moment, so he doesn't dare to say anything in advance. ”

Liu Qing on the side moved his eyes and said, "You really have other plans." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "I also want to thank the princess for cooperating and releasing the qi machine to fight with the ministers." ”

Just now, the two of them made a move, and Huo Quzhi started to take advantage of the situation, and intentionally or unintentionally expanded the movement of the fight.

First, you can't really fight with Liu Qing, this matter is entangled, it is better to take the opportunity to expand the movement and attract attention, and naturally it will not be able to fight.

Then it can also be arranged conveniently to pave the way for the follow-up, so as to facilitate action, so as to get the opportunity to go out with the army as soon as possible.

And when Liu Qing first made a move, he was indeed a little embarrassed and angry, but his mood quickly stabilized.

If the two of them can fight Huo Fu, it is purely a willingness to fight and a willingness to cooperate. Liu Qing also saw that Huo Quzhi was deliberately escalating the fight, and wanted to see what he was going to do.

Liu Che said: "You have already thought of the follow-up plan? ”

"Yes, the minister is going to try it in a different direction.

After the minister was reprimanded by His Majesty, if there was a rift with him, the other party might be bolder, and the minister wanted to see if he would gain anything at that time. ”

"You want to seduce the other person into making a mistake?"

Liu Che said: "Okay, I will follow your wishes, 'severely punish' you, although you have no rank to be lowered, but I will punish you for half a year, and sue the court to see the after-effects." ”

This is indeed a very heavy punishment, a fine of half a year, no salary, and the officials of the DPRK and China must be informed that Huo Qu's illness is a warning, in order to see the after-effects, and not to commit it again.

Liu Qing was listening on the side, but he deeply felt the mutual trust and understanding between Huo Quzhi and Liu Chejun's ministers.

Huo Quzhi only said that he wanted to ask for punishment, and Liu Che guessed that he had another purpose and agreed to cooperate.

This kind of trust is especially rare between monarchs and ministers.

Liu Qing said for a long time: "So you fought with me just now, and you were using me?" ”

Huo Quzhi picked the corners of his mouth: "The minister said, thank you for the princess's willingness to cooperate." ”

……

Near noon, Huo Qu returned home, and he didn't expect that there were visitors waiting at the door for a long time.

It was Zhuo Huai.

He came early in the morning and waited outside the house until noon, but he still did not leave.

Seeing Huo Qubing coming back from the palace and stepping off the frame, Zhuo Huai immediately stepped forward: "Huo Shizhong, have you received the gift yesterday?" ”

The white handscroll yesterday was a gift he found in every possible way in order to increase the success rate of asking to see Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi stopped to look over and saw that it was a middle-aged man, quite generous, but he was wearing a fancy costume and a standard businessman's dress.

"Come in with me."

Huo Mansion Main Hall.

Zhuo Huai followed in and took a seat behind the low seat.

He secretly looked at Huo Quai, thinking about his own businessman's family, if he could marry his daughter, such a character would really be high.

Yao Zhao also stayed in the mansion and did not leave, and also came to the main hall to take a seat.

In the heavy footsteps, Zhuo Huai looked at a waitress who brought tea into the hall, who was so strong and strong, and was a little shocked for a while.

Huo Shizhong's uncle is a general, and he can't imagine that the Wuxun clan and even the maidservants raised in the family are so strong, which is really eye-opening.

After Xiong San finished delivering the refreshments, he stood behind Huo Quai, staring at Zhuo Huai with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"It doesn't hurt if you have anything to say." Huo went to the sick road.

Zhuo Huailai's purpose is very simple, yesterday's white hand-scrolled soldiering, he found a lot of connections, and the wealth can be obtained by God, just for this moment of the audience, so he said: "Yesterday I sent someone to send a prayer, just because I had something to ask for."

The little girl Huo Shizhong had also seen it before, and she was ...... through the window on Anmen Street."

…… Throwing poles like Pan Jinlian?

Huo Quzhi remembered it, and the girl's delicate face was still vaguely remembered.

Zhuo Huai looked at it secretly, but unfortunately Huo Quai's face was expressionless, and he didn't show his emotions at all, so he boasted to himself: "The little girl Qingke, the name of beauty is known to everyone, but it is a disaster. ”

Zhuo Huai thought about it and said, "I came here to ask, did Huo Shizhong ever have any interest in the little girl?" It's really presumptuous to come, but if it weren't for the difficulties, I wouldn't have come to the door like this, eager to let the little girl get married.

If Huo Shizhong is unwilling to marry a little girl, he can help me solve a problem, and the villain will be grateful. ”

Bai Qi's Bingshu Huo Quai's illness is indeed very important, but it depends on what Zhuo Huai is asking for, not violating his own principles, and it doesn't hurt to help: "What difficulties do you have?" ”

"Someone wants to force a little girl to be a concubine......"

Zhuo Huai said worriedly: "It's a child of the clan." ”

Huo Quzhi still looked as usual: "Which sect disciple makes you so afraid?" Besides, why are you so resistant to marrying into the clan? ”

"Son of the King of Huainan, Liu Qian." Zhuo Huai took a deep breath and said.

Liu Qian, that's not surprising.

Among the royal family, there are several people who seem to be the demon kings of the mixed world, Liu Qian is one of them, and Zhao Pingjun, the heir of Princess Longxi, is still young, but he is lawless and notorious.

Speaking of Liu Qian alone, he already has many concubines. It is said that a concubine was brought out of his house a year ago, and it was said that she died of a serious illness, but it has been rumored that she was killed by his drunken immorality.

Just because the woman's family didn't dare to pursue it, the matter was over.

Zhuo Huai felt sorry for his daughter, and did everything possible not to want Zhuo Qingke to be forcibly accepted, but it is not difficult to understand.
