"Qingshan Yaxing colluded with the Lantai County Ya Company, and the business in Xiaohushan and other places was actually to comply with a new policy of the imperial court."

Xiao Fan said:

"The population has plummeted, and in recent years, there has been food, and the imperial court has thought about developing the population."

“……”

In a few words, what Li Qingshan said, after a little processing, he relayed it to the two of them.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fan saw that King Qi's face was extremely exciting.

From the initial anger, to doubt, surprise, shock, and finally helplessness.

The expression gradually changes and is very complicated.

"It makes sense." King Qi scratched his scalp and felt that his brain was not enough.

Since he was a child, King Qi has not learned too many things to govern the world, and it is still a little difficult to accept these things.

It's understandable, but I still don't think it's appropriate.

"Is this the only way to increase the population?" King Qi kept blinking in confusion, wondering unconvinced in his mind if he could make a better decision.

Soon, King Qi thought of one:

"Since the people have no money and food, and it is difficult to live and not give birth, why don't you directly give money and food to the people?"

Xiao Fan Zhengse: "Your Highness's words can be described as reasonable!" ”

"Your Highness...... The court ran out of money. Fei Ji knew some details and said with a wry smile.

Fang Cai Xiao Fan just felt that King Qi was sincere, so he praised him, and sighed at this moment:

"Even if the court has money, it will not give money and food to the people."

"Why not?" King Qi's brows furrowed deeply.

Xiao Fan and Fei Ji glanced at each other, and then mocked: "Since ancient times, only the imperial court has collected money from the people, and I have never heard of giving money to the people. ”

Fei Ji smiled awkwardly, hearing Xiao Fan's sarcasm, but it was not easy to refute.

King Qi was silent, he wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any cases.

If you think about it, it seems to be true.

"The wool comes out of the sheep, as long as the sheep can still produce wool, and the sheep will not die, and the court will not care about the cost of living of the people...... As long as most people can live, then they will feel that they are okay. ”

Xiao Fan sighed: "What the imperial court wants is the population, as for how the population comes, the imperial court doesn't have to care." ”

"In this matter, all parties should act similarly, and it is natural to mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, and the court will not care about it...... That's why I want to advise Your Highness not to care about these things, so as not to be disliked by Your Majesty. ”

These words are a bit deep.

With Xiao Fan's friendship with King Qi, he shouldn't have said so much, but he felt that King Qi was still a person and didn't want him to become a victim of these struggles.

That's why I have to persuade him.

Once the King of Qi returns to Beijing and makes a big deal about it, although he is right, he will also be considered ignorant and does not think about the overall situation.

As for what the overall situation is, it has always been decided by the imperial court.

“…… This king understood. ”

King Qi said helplessly: "Brother Xiao took the risk to tell him, this king knows the severity and will not be this up-and-coming bird." ”

"It is a good thing that Your Highness is sympathetic to the people's livelihood, but the current situation does not allow you to show such virtue in the court...... Otherwise, others will think that you want to spy on the artifact and make a name for yourself......"

"This ......" King Qi clenched his hands, annoyed and calm.

He was annoyed that he couldn't do anything, and he was calm because he knew this truth, and as long as someone broke it, he would understand.

Fei Ji arched his hand at Xiao Fan, and said with a straight face: "Although Mr. is reluctant to enter Beijing, he has already advised His Highness twice in a row, and the Qi Palace's Mansion remembers Mr.'s kindness!" ”

Fei Ji is the long history of the Qi Palace, although he is only a five-rank official, he can make this remark on behalf of the Qi Palace.

King Qi also said, "Brother Xiao, you help me again...... Is Brother Xiao really reluctant to enter Beijing? ”

Xiao Fan said: "At this moment, it is the time when the situation in the capital is changing drastically, it is not like His Royal Highness and the status of a prince, it is difficult to protect himself in such a chaotic situation, so it is better not to join in the fun for the time being." ”

"Your Highness can keep Mr. Complete!" Fei Ji said immediately.

Xiao Fan glanced at Fei Ji leisurely, and then looked at King Qi playfully.

King Qi coughed: "Brother Xiao is right, let's wait a little longer, and wait until this king has a foothold in the capital." ”

Fei Ji can boast of his own prince, but King Qi is not so thick-skinned.

King Qi knows that in today's capital, it is good that he can protect himself, who else can he protect?

This trip back, although there is a high probability that it will be fine, but who is sure that he will not meet an opponent with a bad brain.

In any dynasty, when the old and new emperors are replaced, there will be a river of blood in the capital.

"Hmm." This time, Xiao Fan did not object again.

If King Qi can gain a foothold in the capital and be safe, Xiao Fan is also willing to go to the capital.

There is a prince covered, and he is still very good.

"Brother Xiao?"

Seeing that Xiao Fan finally relented, King Qi was a little happy and said, "If you return to Beijing this time, do you have any suggestions?" ”

King Qi felt that Xiao Fan was a master, and the opinions of the masters must be listened to.

Listen more.

"Ask the gentleman for advice." Fei Ji got serious, as the governor of the Qi Palace, he had to find a way out for his prince.

Xiao Fan was a little embarrassed, and scratched his head: "Your Highness and Fei Changshi have been promoted, and I can't predict the future, how can I know what to say." ”

Just when Fei Ji was disappointed, Xiao Fan thought of something:

"Oh, there's a little bit of advice......"

"Brother Xiao, please speak!" King Qi hurriedly walked to the bookcase, lifted the pen and dipped ink on the inkstone.

Brother Xiao's high theory, you have to record it and think about it!

Seeing this, Xiao Fan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so cautious, it's just a few common sayings." Xiao Fan said.

If these words are recorded, who will see them, then it will be worth it?

King Qi said, "No, I have to write it down." ”

Fei Ji gave Xiao Fan a reassuring look.

Xiao Fan was helpless, so he had to sneer and say:

"What I want to say next is that Your Highness must not make friends everywhere when he returns to Beijing, and he must not have anything to do with any gate lords or important ministers of the imperial court."

"Brother Xiao means, let me do nothing, so as not to be considered ambitious?"

After King Qi wrote it down, he frowned slightly, he remembered that Xiao Fan had said something similar.

I want to say it again, are I afraid that I will forget, or is it really important?

Xiao Fan nodded: "That's exactly why, in this chaos, only the same can be unhindered." If there is any action, it will be denounced as unfilial piety, and at worst it will be suspected of wanting to fight for the artifact, so it is better not to make any moves. ”

"Sir, you have a point."

Fei Ji also agrees, he knows his own family affairs, and his own prince has no possibility of ascending to the throne.

Once you make any moves, you will harm yourself, so it is better to stay out of it.

"However, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for His Royal Highness to stay out of the matter, and His Royal Highnesses the other princes will definitely let His Royal Highness King Qi choose a position, how about it then?" Fei Ji asked.

"yes?" King Qi also remembered that this was possible.

As the prince of the prince, at this time, he will definitely be pulled out.

Whether King Qi wants it or not, he will definitely be put out and let him choose a position.

Who to support and who to support is also a matter of fate.

It's okay to choose the right one, but if you choose the wrong one, you will be liquidated.

Xiao Fan smiled: "This is the second point I want to talk about." ”

"Your Highness, anyone who asks you to choose a side is just a test."

"You have to be steadfast, impartial, and steadfast in staying out of the matter, and then it will be fine."

"Because Your Highness has no real power in his hands, it is useless to really win you over, they just want to see your attitude, and your attitude ...... It doesn't really matter. It's just a test of whether they want to get involved in the dispute. ”

"Ahem......" After hearing this, Fei Ji coughed a little embarrassed for His Royal Highness.

It doesn't matter what you mean by having no real power and what your attitude is.

It's a bit insulting.

But King Qi and Fei Ji both knew that although what Xiao Fan said was ugly, he was undoubtedly really thinking about King Qi.

"Hiss......"

King Qi took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Brother Xiao is really a great talent!" I'm really looking forward to seeing you and me in the capital in the future! ”

"I'm looking forward to it too." Xiao Fan squinted his eyes and smiled harmlessly, unable to see any scheming.

"By the way, Li Qingshan sent a lot of souvenirs to His Highness."

Speaking of this person, although King Qi didn't want to trouble him, he still disdained it:

"Such people dare to have a relationship with this king and return it to him!"

Xiao Fan reminded: "Your Highness, just accept these things." ”

"Huh?"

Fei Ji also looked down on Li Qingshan a little: "Mr. Xiao, if His Royal Highness accepts this person's gift, won't he be gossiped about?" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head: "At this time, Your Highness must not sell your reputation." ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Xiao just said, I almost forgot, the worse the reputation at this time, the better!" King Qi suddenly realized.

Fei Ji also had an epiphany: "Yes, yes, the worse His Highness's reputation is, the more officials will avoid it, and no one will be willing to promote His Highness, and there will be less trouble." ”

In a word, the two of them were provoked to take a look at Xiao Fangao.

Xiao Fan was not embarrassed, and said another reason: "Your Highness accepts the gift, which can be regarded as a big help in the next one, and you can also find trouble for Li Qingshan by the way." ”
