Night.

A bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the white moonlight projected from the vermilion window and sprinkled on the ground, like pale snow, but the flickering candlelight made the cool moonlight a little warmer.

In the study, Qin Wei frowned and looked at the two official documents in front of him.

Li Ru, Zhao Gao and Wang An sat next to them, waiting quietly.

Wang An looked at Zhao Gao with some curiosity, Zhao Gao's appearance was not weird, but his temperament was very incomparable, and the cold from the inside to the outside made people feel a kind of cold chill just by looking at it.

Zhao Gao noticed Wang An's gaze, his narrow eyes were a little kind, but Wang An didn't feel any kind emotions.

After Qin Wei read the official document, his eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

The content of the two official documents is about the transfer of Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu, one is from the Ministry of Officials, and Li Ru is promoted to the political envoy of Liangzhou, and the rank is from the second rank. One is from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Yuwen Chengdu was promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Yunyancheng of the border army, with the rank of the second grade, and the commander of the same capital division.

On the surface, this is to promote Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu, but in fact, this is to divert the power under Qin Wei.

Let's talk about the political envoy first, the political envoy is the chief administrative officer of a state, in charge of civil affairs, land endowment, household registration, etc., and his status is very high, and the official rank is very large, but he does not have any military power.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the border army has military power, but the border army has several major restrictions, and all power is limited to the border, and it is only the deputy commander-in-chief, not the commander-in-chief.

One is in Liangzhou, the other is in the northern border army, but Qin Wei is in Shuzhou, which is tantamount to dismantling Qin Wei's right-hand man.

But what Qin Wei cared about was not these, what he cared about was who was stumbling him behind his back.

"Do you know who proposed this?" Qin Wei asked Wang An.

Wang An said: "Eight days ago, Qian Xingwen, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, asked for merit for the Zhenwu Division in the early court. ”

Officials!

Qin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Zhao Gao and Li Ru, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Ru said thoughtfully: "Although this is proposed by Qian Xingwen, it is Your Majesty who makes the decision. ”

"Your Majesty should want to limit His Highness to Shuzhou, not to be embarrassed, but also not to let His Highness become bigger."

Zhao Gao nodded and did not speak.

Qin Wei also knew that he, the imperial grandfather, was very thoughtful, and his every move had a purpose.

He could probably understand Emperor Li's thoughts.

first confined him to Shuzhou, and then divided the forces under his command.

Emperor Lihuang is not unloading the mill and killing the donkey, if it is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, then Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu will not be transferred to other places, but directly enter Beijing, or kill them on the spot.

It's just that in this way, the power under Qin Wei's command can be regarded as being disintegrated.

Qin Wei tapped on the table, and he thought of Qin Gong.

"If you don't guess wrong, this Qian Xingwen should be King Ping's person!"

Wang An hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong with the Imperial City Division of Kyoto?" ”

"Well, what's the problem?" Qin Wei asked.

"Gonggong Lu seems to have restricted the old slave's call to the Imperial City Division!" Wang An said.

Qin Wei's expression moved slightly.

Wang An said: "If Qian Xingwen has a connection with King Ping, it is impossible for the Imperial City Division not to know, but the old slave did not get any information from within the Imperial City Division. ”

In the past, Wang An wanted any intelligence information, and the Imperial City Division Dou spared no effort to support it, but this time he wanted to call the information of the Imperial City Division, but he didn't get anything.

Qin Wei leaned back in his chair and looked at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao said calmly: "This is obviously what Your Majesty meant. ”

"So what do we do next?" Qin Wei had a headache.

He didn't expect that Emperor Lihuang would attach so much importance to him and put so much thought into him.

Zhao Gao said softly: "Whatever Your Majesty wants, His Highness will give him." ”

"Hmm!" Qin Wei looked at him in surprise.

"He wants His Highness to stay in Shuzhou honestly, then His Highness will stay in Shuzhou honestly." Li Ru said.

The two looked at each other, and it was clear that they had thought of one thing.

Qin Wei was thoughtful and said with a smile: "It seems that this king will be a leisurely king in the future." ”

Li Ru laughed and said, "Isn't this more in line with His Highness's wishes?" ”

Qin Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Before, they decided to raise obscurity in Taoguang in Shuzhou, and now Emperor Lihuang is also forcing him to raise obscurity in Taoguang in Shuzhou.

In that case, why should he bother?

"Then you guys should prepare and go to work!"

"Hehe, it just so happens that this king also wants to walk around recently!"

"But ......"

Qin Wei paused, a playful look flashed on his face, and he continued: "However, since the king of Nanchang County dares to calculate this king, this king can't let him leave properly. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" A cold light flickered in Zhao Gao's eyes.

Qin Wei waved his hand and said, "After all, he is the king of the county, so it's not good to kill him directly." ”

No matter what Qin Gong says, he is also the county king of Dali, if he dies, it will inevitably cause a lot of fluctuations, if people know that Qin Wei killed him, then Qin Wei will also cause a lot of trouble.

"Let all his entourage stay in Shuzhou, and as for himself, let him go back to Beijing alone."

Qin Wei said lightly.

"Your Highness, there is no point in doing this?" Zhao Gaodao.

In Zhao Gao's view, either do everything or do nothing, and it is better to do nothing than do half of this.

Qin Wei nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Zhao Gao's statement, but he still said, "This king just wants to vent his evil anger." ”

"This king is still young, and it is nothing to do something impulsive, even if His Majesty knows about it, he should understand."

Zhao Gao was silent for a while, and said, "The slave understands, and the slave will personally arrange this matter." ”

"Hmm!" Qin Wei nodded.

Sometimes the impulsiveness of the performance is not a bad thing at all, but it will dispel some doubts, if Qin Wei looks thoughtful and calculating, it will make people feel uneasy.

……

Blessed Inn.

Qin Gong sat in the guest room on the second floor, looking at the lively street from the window.

"Your Royal Highness, Kyoto has sent a message, Li Ru, the commander of the Zhenwu Division, has been promoted to the political envoy of Liangzhou, and Qianhu Yuwen Chengdu has been promoted to the deputy commander of the border army Yunyan City."

The middle-aged man came up to him and whispered.

Qin Gong took the tea, took a sip with an indifferent expression, and said, "What about Zhuge Zheng and Tie Youxia?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't move them, probably because the Zhenwu Division still needs them to be in charge." The middle-aged man said.

When Qin Gong heard this, he was not surprised or annoyed, because he knew that the Zhenwu Division still needed Zhuge Zhengme and Tie Youxia now, and as long as Emperor Lihuang still wanted the Zhenwu Division to continue to expand, he would not move them.

However, he still felt a little sorry for this, "It's a pity, if these two people can be transferred, after this king returns to Kyoto, maybe he can still be in charge of the Zhenwu Division." ”

The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to feel pity, the matter of Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu has opened a precedent for the Ministry of Officials and the Governor's Mansion to interfere in the Zhenwu Division, and in the future, the Zhenwu Division will not be left to His Highness." ”

Qin Gong smiled slightly and said, "You are right, as long as this precedent is set, then the Zhenwu Division will no longer be the king of Xin'an alone." ”

His purpose was not just to transfer Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu away from Qin Wei, but to open the closed yamen of Zhenwu Division.

As long as the Zhenwu Division is opened, then his future operation space will become very large, and if he wants to arrange other things, he doesn't need to think about the trouble before.

"However, Your Highness, it's time for us to leave Shuzhou City."

"Our actions will definitely not be able to hide from the King of Xin'an, if the King of Xin'an County is angry, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to His Highness." The middle-aged man persuaded.

Qin Gong thought for a while and said, "He doesn't dare to do anything with this king, but what you said is right, we should really go back to Beijing." ”

"Pack up and leave early tomorrow morning."

……

Long An Province.

Qi Chao rode slowly on the streets of the city in a carriage.

Inside the carriage, Qi Chao looked at the Fire Cloud Evil God and Shen Wansan on the opposite side with a dull face.

The Fire Cloud Evil God was unswervingly carrying out Qin Wei's orders, and Qi Chao was absolutely inseparable.

Wherever Qi Chao goes, he goes, Qi Chao is in the carriage, he is in the carriage, Qi Chao is in bed, he is also in bed.

The two have slept in the same bed for the past few days, which has made Qi Chao more and more resentful of him.

Thinking that in the future, the old man of the Huoyun Evil God will follow him every day and sleep in the same bed with him, Qi Chao will have a feeling in his heart that he has nothing to love.

"Shopkeeper Shen, do you think it's okay for me to ask His Highness for a change of beauty?" Qi Chao said to Shen Wansan.

Compared to the Huoyun Evil God, he felt much better about Shen Wansan.

In particular, the two have a similar smell and have a deep understanding of business experience, and the two chatted as if they had met a confidant.

"Ahem, Master Qi, even if His Royal Highness changes you to a beauty, it's useless!"

Shen Wansan glanced at the smiling Huoyun Evil God next to him and said.

"At the very least, it's eye-catching." Qi Chao muttered.

"Haha~~"

Shen Wansan laughed, "Why do you think that Qi Ye should still think about how to gain His Highness's trust?" ”

"As long as His Highness can trust Qi Ye, then everything is easy to say."

The Fire Cloud Evil God opened his mouth and said, "If you dare to have different intentions towards Your Highness, I will break your neck!" ”

It's okay if he doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Qi Chao's face turned gloomy.

You eat me, use me, sleep in my bed, and you still want to break my neck!

Damn it!

Qi Chao's anger in his heart!

"Your Highness said that you are invincible! It just so happens that I have a few friends who are doing well, do you want to give it a try? Qi Chao said angrily.

"Hehe, as long as you're not afraid that I'll kill them." The Fire Cloud Evil God grinned.

Shen Wansan saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he hurriedly said: "Two, the business is important, Your Highness is still waiting for our reply." ”

Fighting, that's something that the Fire Cloud Evil God can't wait for.

But in order to prevent Qi Chao from having another mustard in his heart, Shen Wansan naturally couldn't let them fight.

Qi Chao looked at the Huoyun Evil God, took a deep breath, and said, "What Shopkeeper Shen said is right, I'm too lazy to bother with you!" ”

At this time, although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, he had slowly accepted the fact that he had given in to Qin Wei, there was no way, who made him unable to resist.

"Shopkeeper Shen, let me tell you, the entire Long'an Mansion is mine!"

Letting go of the resentment in his heart, Qi Chao said smugly.

Shen Wansan didn't remind him of the arrogance in his words, but just said: "I heard that Qi Ye has a good business in the morning, and I want to open my eyes today." ”

Qi Chao said: "There are more than 3,300 salt wells in Long'an Mansion, of which 3,000 belong to me, and the annual salt production is enough to produce 3,000 stones. ”

"In addition to Yanjing, I also have millions of acres of fertile land in Long'an Mansion, all of which are high-quality fertile fields."

"And those!"

He pulled the curtain and pointed to the shops on the street, and said, "Eighty percent of the shops in Long'an Mansion are mine, including restaurants, teahouses, grain shops, and so on. Among them, the most lucrative ones are the ironware shops and the trading of pills. ”

"I have hundreds of alchemists in my hands, although they are all low-grade alchemists, but the annual output of pills is as high as 100,000."

"And in order to ensure the supply of herbs, I still have tens of thousands of acres of medicinal fields."

Qi Chao didn't hide it, because he knew that it was useless to hide it, and with the means of the Imperial City Division, it was too easy to investigate it.

Perhaps now Shen Wansan knows more about his industry than himself.

He was right, before coming to Long'an Mansion, Shen Wansan was already familiar with his industry.

However, on the surface, Shen Wansan still showed a look of admiration, "Qi Ye is really powerful, and I admire him a lot." ”

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Shen doesn't have to be humble, being valued by His Royal Highness shows that Shopkeeper Shen can be superb, and I will have to rely on Shopkeeper Shen more in the future."

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Shen Wansan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Please also ask Shopkeeper Shen not to refuse, our family is also helpless!" Qi Chao looked at Shen Wansan and said sincerely.

Shen Wansan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Qi Ye rest assured, as long as Qi Ye is willing to be loyal to His Highness, everything is not asked." ”

"That's it!" Qi Chao nodded with satisfaction.

In addition to nodding, he also glanced at the Fire Cloud Evil God, posing as if he was going to make you look good sooner or later.

Not to be outdone, the Fire Cloud Evil God glared at him fiercely.
