Chapter 373; There is another meaning
Only after the king of Qi went down to the next dynasty, he returned directly to his mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he was furious.
There were even two servants who made a little noise because they were doing things, and they were directly ordered to be killed by him, and the entire Qi Palace's people were instantly silent.
Princess Qi, who got the news, came over and asked the staff of the palace at the same time.
The two have been married for many years, and she knows the temperament of her prince the most, although the means are also very ruthless, but she is still relatively tolerant of the people in the house, and if the people in the house do not make any big mistakes, he will generally not be a killer.
is so abnormal today, there must be something happening in the court, which makes him feel bad.
She didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so she invited her staff to come over and see if she could give advice to the prince.
When she arrived in the front hall, King Qi sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, and the subordinates who were waiting on the side all lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe, if you looked carefully, you could still find that their bodies trembled slightly, obviously terrified to the extreme.
Seeing this, she waved her hand to let everyone retreat, and she herself walked to King Qi and sat down.
"What's wrong with the prince today?"
Seeing the princess coming, King Qi's gloomy face eased slightly.
"The crown prince and the king of Chu are too hateful, and the father and the emperor."
As soon as he said this, the princess hurriedly coughed and interrupted, and at the same time said in a low voice; "The prince is cautious."
Although their Qi palace looks like a monolith, both of them know very well in their hearts that there must be people hidden in this prince, the king of Chu.
It's just that they hid it too well, and they didn't investigate it, but they knew very well that there must be, so they paid attention to what they said on weekdays, and even said that people with a ruthless personality like King Qi would be kind and tolerant to the people in the house, and they were more afraid of being caught by others by their pigtails.
After all, Emperor Zhaowu doesn't like ruthless people.
Therefore, they are still very careful when they speak on weekdays, for fear that some rebellious words will be listened to and cause trouble.
"Hey, this king probably did something wrong unintentionally, which made my father unhappy."
After being reminded by the princess, King Qi also reacted, and did not continue to complain about Emperor Zhaowu, but took the fault on himself.
To put it bluntly, it is to introspect to express his dissatisfaction with Emperor Zhaowu in his heart.
Princess Qi hurriedly comforted her, and after a while, a person outside came tremblingly to report that the staff had arrived.
"If the prince has something, the concubine will retire first."
King Qi nodded, sent the princess out, and then turned around and went to the study, and several staff members hurriedly followed when they saw this.
When he arrived at the study, King Qi was not pretending, and said very angrily; "What does Father mean exactly? This is clearly to suppress this king, does he already know about arson? ”
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on a gray-haired Confucian scholar.
He brought it up and arranged for it to be carried out.
On the way out of the palace, King Qi has been analyzing today's events in his heart, and Emperor Zhaowu is clearly dissatisfied with him, otherwise according to Emperor Zhaowu's previous habits, he will never make this kind of practice of giving those two people a chance, but not giving himself a chance.
Emperor Zhaowu's treatment of his sons has always been very fair, even if there is occasional favoritism for the crown prince, but it will not be too much, all within the acceptable range of him and the king of Chu.
After all, people are princes, and there will always be something special.
But today's matter, Emperor Zhaowu's attitude is obviously wrong, and Ming Huanghuang's dissatisfaction with him does not allow King Qi to think about it too much.
"Lord Wang, that matter is very clean, and no one will know about it."
This is true, he did it very cleanly, if it was not clean, the prince would not have been investigated for so long.
However, Emperor Zhaowu investigated it, there is no way, after all, there are still a lot of hidden forces under the hands of a generation of emperors, and the authority is extremely great.
If he can't fully control even the land in the capital, he, an emperor, will be too much of a failure.
"Lord Wang, I also think that Mr. Zhuang has done a very clean job, and recently, the prince has been arranging for someone to investigate, but there are no clues at all, so I don't think it should be because of this matter."
"If it's not because of this incident, why is my father dissatisfied with this king?"
King Qi had some doubts in his heart, and he also knew that the prince had not investigated anything.
At that time, he also praised Mr. Zhuang fiercely, saying that he was able to do his job.
But now, he thought back to the past time, and he didn't do anything that would displease his father.
It is even said that his people were killed inexplicably, and he lost 20,000 yuan of money, and the murderers were still the crown prince and the king of Chu, and he was a proper victim.
"Maybe it's not because I'm dissatisfied with you, has the prince thought about it, maybe the emperor has another meaning in doing this?"
"What else does it mean?"
King Qi looked at Mr. Zhuang puzzled, and really didn't understand what he meant by this sentence.
This clearly allowed the crown prince and the king of Chu to increase their power, and let him watch from the sidelines.
"The household department and the military department have always been in the hands of the emperor himself, and even if the people inside are not the emperor's absolute henchmen, they are also people he can trust."
"I feel that even if the emperor lets the crown prince and the king of Chu go to these two departments, they may not be able to win over anyone."
"It's even possible that the emperor just wants to see what they will do."
King Qi nodded thoughtfully, what he said was not false at all.
In the past, they didn't think about attracting some people to get on the boat in the household department and the military department, but in the end they didn't succeed, so later, they planned to secretly arrange people to go in.
Naturally, the result was also unsuccessful, and now hearing Mr. Zhuang's words, King Qi also calmed down.
Since it is not easy to get in, why did the emperor arrange for these two guys to go to those two departments?
Is it really just a matter of asking them to help prepare for the expedition?
"Have you ever thought that because of the incident in Qingshi Lane in front of you, the emperor has been a little disappointed in the crown prince and the king of Chu?"
"Are you saying that my father seems to value them by doing this, but in fact he has other plans?"
In the matter of Qingshi Lane, he was an absolute victim, and Emperor Zhaowu was also very angry at that time, and it was absolutely impossible to give them two benefits, but his own victim did not benefit at all.
"I think there must be a problem here, but we have to see what it is."
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much, this kind of situation is good for you."
"The benefits? What are the benefits? This expedition must be a big move, even if the king can't eat meat, now there is no soup and water, which benefit is this? ”
King Qi was a little angry, this is a big event, it is easy to get credit, and if the matter is done, you can gain some goodwill from top to bottom.
The most important thing is that being able to take this opportunity to get in touch with the army openly and honestly is an opportunity to brush up on the goodwill of the soldiers and soldiers.
