"Oh, Lord Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really so tight that someone Ma misses it!"

After a while, a rich middle-aged man with a red face walked in.

He was accompanied by two young men in green shirts.

It's like a guard, and it's like a guest.

However, Qin Le knew at a glance that the fat man in the center was undoubtedly the master of the horse.

It's not because someone came to report it before.

It's that the official atmosphere on this Ma Taishi is too strong.

"Master Matthew is polite, at this year's Sacrifice to the Heavens, didn't this king talk to Master Matthew, it's only been more than half a month, why haven't you seen it for a long time?"

The prince is worthy of being the prince, while taking care of face, he did not lose his majesty, and threw the topic back to Master Matthew.

It's easy.

Qin Le estimated that the reason why this Qi prince was willing to take a corner of peace.

It is estimated that I am also tired of the intrigue of this officialdom.

That's why I was so disgusted by Matthew's visit.

But when he saw that Ma Taishi, as if he hadn't heard it, he smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't see you for a day, it's like every three autumns, not to mention that Ma likes to chat with the prince the most, so I haven't seen you for half a month, and Ma misses the prince in his heart~"

Qin Le suddenly got goosebumps.

Matthew's slightly shrill voice, coupled with his greasy words.

What a disgusting one.

Qi Zhan's expression was as if he had eaten a fly.

Qin Le also knew that the prince couldn't bear it anymore.

Exhaling a breath of turbidity slightly, Qi Zhan said slowly: "There is no need to say polite words, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Master Ma might as well go straight to the point, this king is not that leisurely person, and there are still many official affairs to deal with." ”

Seeing Qi Zhan's attitude, Matthew simply didn't continue to act.

However, he glanced at the council hall with his eyes.

With a sad face, he said: "Lord Wang, the matter that Ma has to discuss with you today is very important, or ...... You, the family members, should you avoid it for a while? ”

Concubine Jing couldn't sit still first, frowned and said, "Master Mathew, what do you mean?!" What is there that the prince must hear, and we can't listen to it? Unless...... What do you want to say? ”

Ma Taishi's face immediately changed, and he said respectfully: "Oh, don't you dare, Princess Jing, this is Ma Mou's fault, who doesn't know that our Qi prince Wen Taowu is the best of the best?" There is a huge Qi royal city, which is governed by the prince in an orderly manner, and it is even more prosperous than the capital! Even if he lent Ma ten guts, he wouldn't dare to do that shady deed with the prince! ”

And Concubine Jia on the side suddenly sneered: "Master Ma, let's make it clearer, what is more prosperous than the capital, my Qi Wangcheng is just a place to live among the great and vast people, how can He De compare with the capital on the heavens?" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Matthew's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes revealed a feeling that his prey had been hooked.

After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Now it's not in the capital, so Ma is bolder, and I told you clearly, in Ma's opinion, the so-called Son of Heaven is even inferior to the Qi Palace, a few days ago, Ma also heard that the Prince of Qi recruited troops and horses, elite soldiers and strong generals, and estimated the scale of the private soldiers in the Qi Palace, they are almost able to catch up with His Majesty's Praetorian Guards......

Qin Le watched with relish from the sidelines.

This Matthew Master is also enough.

On the surface, he was polite, as if he was praising King Qi's management skills and strategic vision.

But the meaning hidden in the words, every word pointed to the king of Qi having the heart of rebellion.

It's exactly the same as the way he accused the original owner's father in the first place!

If the King of Qi agrees with his statement, then he will be convicted of rebellion, so that the emperor will not have to cut the feudal domain, and directly cut off his head!

But if you don't agree, it means that King Qi has a ghost in his heart, and the emperor is justified in cutting the domain, and King Qi has no way to refute it.

This is not a conspiracy, it is simply a naked conspiracy!

The more he watched, the more Qin Le looked forward to what kind of answer Qi Zhan could give.

After all, his answer, to put it mildly, can even decide the life and death of the Qi Wangfu and others!

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense, and Qi Caier on the side unconsciously held Qin Le's hand.

Qin Le felt Qi Cai'er's cold softness, not to mention how comfortable he was.

"This ancient girl who doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, her little hands are soft!"

About a cup of tea has passed.

Qi Zhancai finally spoke up, and said to Ma Taishi: "Ma Taishi praised, if you talk about Wen Taowu strategy, although the battle is a small achievement, but it is still less than half a point of the imperial brother, besides, this Qi Wangcheng, when the imperial brother assigned me to manage, when I first came here, the people of this Qi royal city have already stepped into the right track of life, the only thing this king has done in the past few years is to go with the flow, let it develop, if you talk about merit and vision, you have to go back to the imperial brother, I am just ...... It's just mediocre. ”

"Good!"

Qin Le unconsciously applauded Qi Zhan in his heart.

His words not only gave all the merits of governing the people to the emperor, but also described himself as a mediocre man who could not manage anything but management.

The desire to survive is simply full!

And Qi Zhan's next words were even more eye-opening for Qin Le.

"Although I don't know where Master Matthew got the news, I did have some soldiers in the palace recently, but ...... This is also the meaning of the royal brother, Ma Taishi is not unaware, recently the northern Huns have moved, the relationship network up and down the capital, are eyeing the next move of the royal family, if at this time, the imperial brother himself blatantly recruited, wouldn't he directly show his hole cards to the barbarian? So, why did this king recruit troops, Matthew Shi now knows it, right? ”

Concubine Jia also sneered on the side: "It's you, Master Ma, where did you get this news?" Don't be the Hun spies who reported to you, right? ”

Ma Taishi's cheeks twitched slightly, and he said in his heart that Qi Zhan, this old fox, is really amazing!

Qi Cai'er asked Qin Le in a low voice at this time, "What are they talking about?" Why can't I understand something? ”

Qin Le touched the back of Qi Cai'er's smooth hand, and then said with a smile: "It's normal to not understand, because they talk too vaguely, to put it simply, this Master Ma suspects that your father is ill-intentioned and is preparing to rebel, and your father said that recruiting soldiers is His Majesty's intention, why do you Ma Taishi know that I am recruiting?" Could it be that you are a spy of the Huns or something......"

Qi Cai'er's eyes widened slightly, she was a county lord who couldn't keep up with the rhythm of these old things, why could Qin Le, a county horse from a civilian background, know so well?

Qin Le looked at her expression, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

In his previous life in the workplace, he had seen too many wars without gunpowder......
