"Hey, I really can't figure it out, my sister Chen Yuan is not better than that Yu Yao, how could my eldest brother fall in love with him."

The next words are the main points of my own words.

"If I were the eldest brother, I would have married Chen Yuan's sister a long time ago, and I would build her a big golden house, so that everyone would be envious

Death! ”

It sounded like a coaxing joke, but Chen Yuan's cheeks suddenly turned red, as if she was happy and shy. patted the back of Liu Qi's hand.

"Brother Liu Qi, you... Are you telling the truth? ”

Liu Qi saw that she was happy, and immediately craned his neck in response.

"Is that still fake? However, I am not a big brother, where can there be such a blessing. ”

After speaking, Liu Qi was happy, and when he lowered his head to drink tea, he glanced at Liu Yueji.

The woman didn't have any expression, and it didn't seem like there were any emotional fluctuations.

But Liu Qi knew that under her calm appearance, there must have been a lot of thoughts in her heart.

As for what he was thinking, Liu Qi couldn't guess it.

But it doesn't matter, the seeds have been planted, and the rest will just let it be.

"Oops, I almost forgot, I told General Bai today, I'm going to Nanying, aunt, little sister, I'm with you, I'll come over to visit when I have time."

Chen Yuan was a little reluctant, but after all, Liu Qi was talking about serious things, and it was not good to keep more.

After Liu Yueji also said a few polite words, Liu Qi bowed down and retreated, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Until Liu Qi's figure was about to reach the far gate, Liu Yueji suddenly muttered to herself.

"Looking at it now, it actually seems that this son is not bad."

……

After leaving the Chen Mansion, Liu Qi did not go to Nanying as he said, but returned directly to the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Qin Wei, who was practicing martial arts.

Because his body had not yet healed, the clothes he was wearing had already been soaked with sweat. It's never been like this before.

"Your Highness, you're back."

"The injury hasn't healed yet, so I came out to dance and get a stick, why don't you rest more?"

Qin Wei first put the double hammer on the weapon rack.

"Your Highness, the last general has rested enough, if you don't come out to move again, I'm afraid your body will rust."

Liu Qi is very pleased, such a strong and self-disciplined general, which master would not like it.

Of course, Liu Qi's concern for him is not false.

In the final analysis, Qin Wei's injury was suffered by himself, let alone resting, even if he was lying in bed for a month, Liu Qi would not have any prejudice against him.

"Your Highness, if your subordinates are not mistaken, you seem to have walked in with a smile, what makes you so happy?"

In Liu Qi's mind, he suddenly remembered the story that happened today, and chuckled again.

"This king has done a great thing today!"

"Big deal?"

Liu Qi nodded.

"That's right, from now on, Chen Yuan and Liu Xuan will never be able to walk together again."

Regarding this matter, from the very beginning, Liu Qi did not hide anything from Qin Wei.

In Liu Qi's heart, Qin Wei is trustworthy!

At the same time, it is also true, and he is regarded as his confidant.

If everything is hidden from his henchmen, then how can he get his heartfelt followers?

Speaking of which, killing the Duan family, driving Duan Shen crazy, and killing him after he was imprisoned, all of this was by no means to vent his anger.

On the one hand, it is to deter those ministers who have ill intentions.

On the other hand, it is to uproot the Duan family and not leave himself with trouble.

There is one more important point.

It is to let Qin Wei understand that all this is for him. It's because I want to get revenge on him, that's why I did it.

At this time, after Qin Wei listened, he was not as happy as Liu Qi, but looked a little sad.

"Your Highness, with all due respect, there are still a few days left, and you are about to lead your troops to the battle, how can you see that you are not in a hurry at all?"

Seeing Qin Wei's confused look, Liu Qihe laughed and walked into the house with him.

"What you said, this king naturally knows in his heart, but before he goes on the expedition, this king must pursue a purpose."

"Purpose? What is the purpose? ”

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"

Qin Wei thought about it for a while, and then looked like he suddenly realized.

"Your Highness, do you mean that you want to bring down Yang Wenyuan first?"

But Liu Qi shook his head with a smile.

"Of course not!"

"Yang Wenyuan's party has big roots and deep roots, and he has been the prime minister for so many years, how can it be so easy to overthrow?"

Qin Wei couldn't figure it out.

"Then the subordinates are a little puzzled, if it's not Yang Wenyuan, who else can it be?"

However, Liu Qi's answer was very surprising to Qin Wei.

"Is it the king?"

"You?"

"That's right, after this king leads his troops to the battle, it is impossible to meddle in anything in the court."

"However, Yang Wenyuan's party can control everything, and it is certain that as long as this king starts the expedition, they will inevitably make trouble behind their backs."

"Therefore, before going on the expedition, the king must ensure that there is a stable rear, or to say, find someone who can speak for the king."

Qin Wei thought and thought.

"The person you're talking about can't be Princess Qingyang, right?"

Liu Qi smiled slightly.

"That's right, it's her!"

"Your Royal Highness, Princess Qingyang's status is noble, but I will forgive you for saying a rude word, she is a woman after all."

"Since ancient times, except for the female empire, women are not allowed to participate in politics, what can she help you in the court?"

Liu Qihe laughed.

"You may have forgotten, Princess Qingyang, she still has a very important identity."

Qin Wei was a little confused for a while.

"Let me tell you, you may have forgotten that in addition to being the emperor's sister, she is also the patriarch of the clan!"

The patriarch of the clan has always been the queen before.

Later, when the Empress Dowager passed away, she handed over this position to Princess Qingyang.

No wonder Qin Wei would ignore this.

Nowadays, in the hearts of the ministers, the clan has never had a special sense of existence.

Whether it is in the court or some major events, there is almost no shadow of the clan.

Of course, the clan mentioned in this does not include the emperor and the princes, but other members of the imperial family.

As a result, everyone feels that the clan doesn't seem to have any sense of existence.

But Liu Qi knows it very well.

The clan is definitely not as simple as everyone thinks, and it can even be said that at the beginning of the establishment of Qingguo, if there was no clan, there would be no Daqing, and there would be no Liu family today.

And now, in this marginalized clan, there is not only one person with an extremely noble status.

And he also has a privilege that can make many ministers frightened as long as he takes it out!
