Chapter 231: Learning from the Scriptures
Xia Qingxue retched a few times and didn't spit out anything, "Brother-in-law, Dad, I'm fine, I just suddenly feel sick in my stomach." ”
Qi Tian watched Xia Qingxue's face improve, and his heart was relieved.
Suddenly, Xia Zhengxin looked stunned, and looked at Xia Qingxue very entangledly, "Qingxue, you can't be pregnant, right?"
Xia Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then remembered her second sister's reaction when she was pregnant, and instantly said in surprise: "I'm pregnant? I'm going to have a baby too?"
Qi Tian also reacted, and glanced at Xia Xinyue beside him with some weakness, but fortunately, his face was as usual, and he didn't react.
At this time, the maid who was waiting for the meal suddenly frowned and muttered in a low voice: "The eldest lady seems to have been in this situation recently." ”
Her voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of the whole table.
In an instant, except for Qi Baishi, the eyes of the entire table looked at Qi Tian at the same time.
They all heard that during the battle between Qi Tian and Akbar, Xia Qing posted a notice in the city...
Qi Tian's face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending that the food was delicious, and unconsciously recalled the spring dream when he was sleeping in the room...
Is that dream really?
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the surface of his foot, even if he didn't look at it, he knew that it was Xia Xinyue...
Xia Zhengxin let out a long sigh and stopped talking, his three daughters had been taken into Qi Tian's arms, and none of them were spared...
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law respects you, congratulations on becoming the new city lord of Yunhai City. Qi Tian noticed that the old father-in-law's expression was wrong, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass.
Xia Zhengxin didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Qi Tian, and then drank it all.
Early the next morning, all the officials and generals gathered in front of the city gate, but the expression on their faces was very reluctant, because the boss of Qimen, the city lord of Yunhai City, and their brothers, were going to the imperial capital city today to fight for the future of the empire.
Wind and fire slowly came to the city gate.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
.........
All the officials shouted in unison.
Now they are all like Uncle Jiu, calling Qi Tian the boss, so that they can show respect and get closer.
Qi Tian walked out of the wind and fire, looking at these brothers who were like siblings, and there was too much reluctance in his heart.
Although he told Xia Xinyue and others that he would come back soon, but now that the situation is complicated, he doesn't have a general idea in his heart when the eldest princess will be able to ascend the throne.
"I have received everyone's wishes, during the time I am not in Yunhai City, you must do a good job in all your work. ”
"Don't worry, boss, we'll work hard!"
"We will all cooperate with the Xia City Lord and Huang Cheng Wei to guard the family business of Yunhai City for the boss. ”
"Boss, don't worry, with us, no empire will dare to invade Yunhai City!"
"If there is any accident in the Imperial Capital City, we will directly destroy the Imperial Capital City!"
.........
The last words were said by An Lushan.
Although Yunhai City is now nominally owned by the Sunny Empire, everyone understands that the surname of Yunhai City is Qi, and no one dares to touch Yunhai City at will, whether it is an enemy country or the Sunny Empire.
The Fourth Legion, the City Captain Army, the Qimen Legion, the Black Flag Legion, and the Qimen Guards are not vegetarians, and these military forces are only loyal to Qi Tian.
Qi Tian was not used to this parting scene, his heart was ruthless, he turned into the wind and fire, and headed towards the imperial capital.
This time, he didn't bring anyone, only Bingfeng alone.
He defected to the eldest princess this time, and if there were too many people, it would make people suspicious.
If the crown prince wants to deal with himself openly, or the eldest princess unloads the mill and kills the donkey, as long as Yunhai City is strong, they will not dare to mess around.
With the current strength of Yunhai City, destroying the Imperial Capital City is only a matter of minutes.
And Qi Baishi and the five female guards stayed in Yunhai City for a few more days, Qi Baishi liked Qi Chen very much and wanted to accompany this little guy more.
-------
Imperial Capital City and Yunhai City are not very far away, and it will take a day and a half for a fast horse, while Qi Tian will arrive in a day by riding the wind and fire.
The wind and fire now are different from the past, they are drawn by four horses, and the speed is very fast.
Qi Tian stood in front of the carriage door, looking at the wide and unbounded, must be towering city wall, the wall bricks are gray and green, full of the sense of vicissitudes of grandeur, especially the city tower still stands a loft full of ancient charm, it is really a capital with the atmosphere of the emperor.
Yunhai City lacks this thick and solemn feeling.
"Bingfeng, we are about to enter the capital of the Sunny Empire, this is where the emperor lives. "Qi Tian has a feeling of amazement.
This was the first time he had left Yunhai City and came to a strange ancient city, revealing a sense of freshness everywhere.
But Bingfeng in the carriage glanced at him with disdain, like an uninformed hillbilly, and then continued to hold the long knife and pretend to sleep.
There was a long queue in front of the gates of the imperial capital, and many people wanted to enter the city.
Qi Tian also lined up.
The people in front and behind, including the other carriages, were all curious to look at Fenghuo, after all, it was the first time they had seen a carriage of this shape.
Qi Tian found the eyes cast around him, and in order to keep a low profile, he turned around and entered the carriage, lying on the bed, wondering who to find at the first stop after entering the city.
Since Qi Baishi has little contact with government affairs, he does not know much about the specific situation of the current court.
Uncle Nine has also been away from the political center for many years, and he is not very clear about some information.
After thinking about it, he still decided to go to Wang Shouren for the first stop.
He understands Wang Shouren, unless he is forced to do so, he will never choose to take refuge in any side, and maintaining neutrality is his principle as an official.
When Fenghuo came to the city gate, the soldiers saw that Fenghuo had a strange shape, or a four-horse cart, and they all guessed in their hearts who was in the car.
"Hello, please show your ID card. The gatekeeper said.
The coachman had also been a soldier in the Imperial Capital City, and he knew some rules of the Imperial Capital City, so he directly took out the identity card of the city lord of Yunhai City, took out another letter, and handed it to the soldiers.
The letter came with the intention of the Grand Duke, and was used to report to the Military Academy.
The soldier took one look and let him go.
"Guodong, after entering the city, ask Wang Shouren's mansion where it is, and go to him for dinner tonight. Qi Tian said.
The coachman smiled, "Boss, I see." ”
This coachman was the coachman who fought against the black-clothed killer with Qi Tian, and after he recovered from his injury, Qi Tian felt that his kung fu was good and he was loyal, so he brought him with him.
The coachman's name is Lin Guodong, who once served as a soldier in the imperial capital, but was later squeezed out of Yunhai City because he injured the centurion.
After entering the city, Lin Guodong asked around about Lord Wang's mansion.
Since Wang Shouren is also famous in the imperial capital, he asked easily.
Who knows, Fenghuo has just come to Wang Shouren's mansion, and Lord Wang has been waiting at the door for a long time.
After Qi Tian got out of the car with Bingfeng, he was stunned when he saw Wang Shouren, "Hey, Lord Wang, are you going to go out?"
Wang Shouren smiled "haha", "Yes, go out to greet the VIP." ”
Qi Tian looked at Wang Shouren's playful expression, and knew that he was deliberately joking with himself.
But he was also curious, how did Wang Shouren know when he entered the city, and how did he know that he would come to him at the first stop.
"Why, wonder why the old man knew that you came to me?" Wang Shouren asked with a smile.
Qi Tian did not shy away from it, and nodded directly in acquiescence.
"Qi Tian, in vain, the old man is so optimistic about you, I can't even think of this.
You are a smart person, and you have a heavy responsibility to come to the imperial capital, how can you not find out first?
If you want to ask for news, this is undoubtedly the best choice. ”
Qi Tian also smiled "haha", why does he like to chat with smart people, he just doesn't need to talk nonsense himself.
After all, if you talk too much, it's easy to hurt your vitality.
Wang Shouren enthusiastically led Qi Tian into the mansion, and the hot meal had already been prepared.
"Lord Wang, forgive the junior for being stupid, even if you know that I will be the first to visit you, then how do you know that this will be the time?" Qi Tian asked as he walked.
"Don't forget, the old man has investigated you before, including your very stylish car, Fenghuo.
So it's easy to figure out when you'll be in the Imperial Capital!"
When Qi Tian looked at Wang Shouren again, his eyes were full of admiration and admiration, although he knew that Wang Shouren had investigated him before, but he didn't expect the investigation to be so detailed, and even the speed of wind and fire was investigated.
Although Wang Shouren's mansion is large, the decoration is not luxurious, showing the style of incorruptibility.
Qi Tian looked at the table with only two meats, two vegetables and one soup, four dishes and one soup in the standard, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
In Xiafu, he had at least fish, shrimp, and crabs at every meal, with as few as a dozen dishes and as many as twenty dishes, and suddenly became simple and a little uncomfortable.
"To greet you, I specially added three dishes. Wang Shouren said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you. Qi Tian didn't have a smile on his face, he felt that he was a visitor, even if he didn't invite himself out to eat, at least he had to get a few more dishes.
Four dishes and one soup are a little shabby.
"The old decay is not as good as you, you have such a salary every month, and you have to raise such a large house, but you don't want to save some flowers. ”
Qi Tian understands this, since the Xia family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the development of Qimen is getting bigger and bigger, he has no concept of money at all.
As the city lord, he didn't know how much he was paid every month, but he definitely couldn't compare with the Xia family and Qi Men.
When the two moved their chopsticks, Wang Shouren began to talk endlessly about the situation between the DPRK and China for Qi Tian.
After hearing this, Qi Tian's heart immediately rushed through countless grass and mud horses.
Because the eldest princess is not passive, but quite passive, most of the real power faction is from the prince's camp.
Among the three powerful ministers, the prime minister who presided over government affairs, Gao Yuchen, and the lieutenant who controlled the guards in the city, Xie Jin, were all the prince's people.
Only the Imperial History Supervision Division, Qi Wuxian who is in charge of monitoring the officials of the court and the central government, is the person of the eldest princess.
Qi Tian finally understood, why the eldest princess had nothing to do with the second sister to enjoy the moon and see the flowers, and after a long time, her father and a big official stood on the side of the eldest princess...
The following Jiuqing, the financial and financial government in charge of finance, the procurement government in charge of imperial court procurement, and the real power departments such as the political government that manages the transfer of officials, are all under the jurisdiction of the prince.
Only the Military Academy, which taught officials, the Internal Affairs Office, which was responsible for the distribution of palace materials, and the Ministry of Rites, which managed the sacrificial rites, were useless departments that belonged to the management of the eldest princess.
Although the two political forces seem to manage about the same number of departments, the content is very different!
Suddenly, Qi Tian felt the urge to go home!
"What, no confidence?" Wang Shouren saw that Qi Tian was a little depressed, obviously a little disappointed in the power of the eldest princess.
Qi Tian glanced at Wang Shouren, "What do you think? This battle is clearly a competition between armed soldiers and children, the same quantity, but different quality!"
Wang Shouren shook his head, "This is not possible. ”
Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "How do you say this?"
"Did you defeat the almost invincible Lion Legion twice based on the strength of your soldiers?" Wang Shouren said with a smile.
Qi Tian didn't bother to think about it, "What is that?"
"Haha, of course it's you! The two armies are facing each other, and the first thing to look at is the commander.
Even if our side is at a disadvantage and has few troops, as long as the commander is smart, he will turn passive into active. ”
Qi Tian smiled slightly, "Can I see this as a compliment to me?"
"Sort of. ”
Wang Shouren's tone suddenly changed, "The old man thinks that the eldest princess can win." ”
Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to the spirit.
He was very puzzled by Qi Wutear standing in the eldest princess's camp before, thinking that there must be something in it, and now Wang Shouren is also optimistic about the eldest princess, it seems that there is really a story in it.
"Why?"
"Because of Celestia Celestia!"
Qi Tian was a little stunned, how could he judge that the eldest princess who was at a disadvantage could win with just one princess?
Wang Shouren's expression suddenly became a little secretive, "The eldest princess is not an ordinary woman, the old man admits that he has read countless people, and knows everything from hundreds of classics, but he has never been able to see through the woman of the eldest princess, and even the old man thinks that the emperor has been hiding in the harem all the year round and ignoring the government and politics, which also has a lot to do with this eldest princess!"
Qi Tian was startled, and said in his heart, 'What's the situation?' deliberately let his father fall into the gentle township, and then when his will was weak, he divided the power in two, so that she could also have a chance to touch the power as a woman?
If that's the case, this eldest princess is too ruthless, even her own father calculates!'
"Lord Wang, what do you think I should do next?" Qi Tian still felt that he should learn from Lord Wang first.
Wang Shouren smiled slightly, "This time you are here to help the eldest princess seize the imperial throne, so first of all, you must gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital city, and you must also establish your authority in the court." ”
Qi Tian continued to look at Wang Shouren blankly, but found that the old guy stopped talking, "It's gone?"
"Well, no. ”
A few black lines appeared on Qi Tian's head, "No, I've come so far and wide, and I'm the first to come to you, so you have to give me some benefits!"
Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, he never expected that Qi Tian would play a scoundrel.
He knew that if he didn't give Qi Tian something dry, he would definitely not give up, "If it's possible, deal with Xie Jin first." ”
Qi Tian's eyes rolled, a little puzzled, "Why is this?"
