The old goatee who was out of tune back then, and a sentence on the wine table: He can be replaced, which really surprised Wang Qi, who had just returned to Beijing.

Later, Wang Qi often played chess games with him, but the old way traveled all over the world and finally separated.

"I don't know where Li Laodao has traveled now? Have you found the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Mansion? ”

chuckling and shaking his head, Wang Qi turned around and sat back in his chair, rested for a while, and his eyes fell on an unopened envelope again.

Stretched out his hand and took the letter paper in his hand, and the paper was sealed with the book: Qi Guogong respectfully Qi-Sun Boya respectfully.

In fact, the letter arrived yesterday, but Wang Qi never opened it.

You don't need to open it to see it, Wang Qi knows what is written in the letter.

For some reason, Wang Qi has always been a little distant from Sun Chuanting.

Deep down, Wang Qi seems unwilling to have much contact with this famous bigwig in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

Maybe in Wang Qi's heart, he knew that he would one day go to the opposite side of the court, but after all, he didn't want to have any ties with such a rare talent in the world.

Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others are actually different from Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting is a civil official, and he is a Jinshi from a serious child, so Wang Qi is naturally estranged from this kind of person.

And Cao Wenzhao is a military general, who rose with Wang Qi, so he is naturally much closer.

As for Lu Xiangsheng. Although the family has been an official eunuch for generations, in order to follow Wang Qi to Liaodong, he has long been disassociated with the civil official group.

Click, his fingers tapped slowly on the table, and after a while, Wang Qi unsealed the wax and pulled out the letter inside.

"Sun Chuanting, the subordinate of Puzhou County, has long heard the name of the Duke of Qi for the Duke of Qi, destroyed Jianzhou, united Mongolia, swept away foreign enemies, and collected the chaotic people, Sun was fascinated; When Puzhou was in office, with the help of the Duke of Qi, he could safely and peacefully govern the township, seek the life of the people, and now the external troubles of the court have just been eliminated, and the internal worries are undecided, and the ministers have the courage to speak out, and ask the Lord Guogong to worry about the livelihood of all people, discuss for the society of the world, think for the court, and return to Beijing to participate in the affairs of the court, so as to help the saint to avoid the attack of the Quartet, the party is uncertain, and the society is declining, so that the previous achievements are abandoned. ”

After a while, Wang Qi put the letter back on the table with an expressionless face.

Sun Chuanting really wanted to persuade himself to return to Beijing.

However, today's Sun Chuanting is far from reaching the level of saving the sky in later generations, and the degree of training is not enough, so he looks at things a little shallowly, or naïve.

The current situation cannot be solved by Wang Qi's return to Beijing.

The emperor doesn't want Wang Qi to return to Beijing, the power of the Duke of Qi is too great, and the emperor is also a human being.

Wang Qi didn't want to return to Beijing, and now when he returned to Beijing, he would put himself in the flames, like fireflies in the dark, and the four corners would attack him.

And the people in the court, whether it is Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa and others, do not want Wang Qi to return to Beijing, after all, the Duke of Qi is returning to Beijing now, and what is divided is their power.

"Not only do I not want to, but I can't!" Wang Qi casually folded the letter and put it aside, looking like he didn't want to reply.

Now stay away from the court, away from the whirlpool of struggle, and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

Wang Qi enjoyed it.

————

At this time, the city of Beijing, thousands of miles away, is in the imperial city.

Apocalypse was flipping through the Dongchang report that Wei Zhongxian had just entered—it recorded Wang Qi's whereabouts on the way south.

"Passing by Xuzhou Mansion, Ma Shiying was summoned to meet, and three days later, Ma Shiying took Wang Qi's sedan chair and died outside Nanjing."

Looking away from the secret report, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian: "What did the two of them say?" ”

"According to the news obtained by the minions, Ma Shiying stayed at the post station where Wang Qi stayed, stayed for half an hour, and then left, as for what the two people talked about, it is unknown for the time being, "Wei Zhongxian is also helpless, Qi Guogong is surrounded by elite guards, and it is rare for his Dongchang fans to know who Wang Qi has seen, how can he know what Wang Qi and Ma Shiying said?"

As if feeling Zhu Youxiao's dissatisfaction, Wei Zhongxian, who was active, lowered his head and added: "But the slave has just gotten a hint of wind from Ruan Dacheng, Ruan Dacheng is Ma Shiying's best friend, Ruan Dacheng said that the two were separated that day, and the next day Ma Shiying said excitedly that he was going to fly Huang Tengda, from today on, he will fly on the branch to be a phoenix, and from then on, the dust will be in the clouds!" ”

"What exactly?" Zhu Youxiao only wants to hear the key ones.

Ruan Dacheng recalled that Ma Shiying mysteriously mentioned at that time: The Duke of Qi went to Yingtian to clarify the facts and quell the struggle, not to compete for fame and fortune, nor to make enemies of others.

Secretly raising his eyes to look at Zhu Youxiao's expression, Wei Zhongxian pondered and said, "Your Majesty, maybe Ma Shiying's death is indeed for another reason. ”

"You mean, someone wanted to kill Wang Qi, but it just so happened that Ma Shiying became a substitute ghost?" Buckled up the secret music, Zhu Youxiao leaned back on the dragon chair: "Who is that?" ”

Shi Kefa? Yang Lian?

No!

Zhu Youxiao knew the two of them, although these two people were stubborn, they were both direct ministers, and they would rather face Wang Qi and denounce him to dust with Taoism and Confucianism, rather than use assassination.

In addition to Donglin, there are also third-party forces?

Zhu Youxiao doesn't like things to be out of his control.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xin, it's not far from Nanjing City," Wei Zhongxian said at the right time.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian with a faint look in his eyes, Zhu Youxiao didn't speak for a long time: "If you don't have evidence, don't guess, I don't want my brother to be a wall!" ”

With a plop, Wei Zhongxian immediately threw himself on the ground: "The slave is guilty!" ”

Call.

Exhaling lightly, Zhu Youxiao licked his lips and said lightly: "Go and check, what was my brother doing during the time when Qi Guogong went south!" ”

"Minion Command."

After a short time, Wei Zhongxian retreated.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Youxiao was still sitting there.

"Wang Tiqian!"

About a stick of incense, the emperor's voice sounded again.

Wang Tiqian, who was outside the palace, heard the emperor calling him, and his body shook subconsciously.

Recently, it has become more and more difficult to run errands around this young emperor.

Presumably, after sitting on that dragon chair for a long time, anyone will become moody and uncertain, right?

After all, it feels so good to be in power, and anyone who wants to get their hands on their dragon chair will be torn apart and skinned.

"The minions are here!" Wang Tiqian knelt on the ground, respectfully.

"Recently, I have started to talk about the marriage between the Duke of Qi and Princess Ningde," Zhu Youxiao sat there and looked at Wang Tiqian in the main hall: "I have only one request, and I will do it more beautifully." ”

Before the three-year period has expired, what does the emperor want to do now?

Wang Tiqian was a little confused, but it did not prevent him from answering the emperor's words: "The slave has the order. Immediately discuss with the Cabinet Ministers, the Inner Palace Sect Division, as well as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry! ”

Zhu Youxiao ignored Wang Tiqian's reaction, he had already decided in his heart: the day Wang Qi became a relative, it would be time to be deprived of all power.

Right now?

Give it a little sweetness first!
