The sky was getting dark, and as night fell, the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit.

One order after another and one document after another were issued from Bai Chen's hands, and tonight, he was destined to be sleepless.

And Ying Kongchen has already left the City Lord's Mansion, after all, a royal prince and a feudal official have stayed too long, which is easy to make people think.

Even if he believed that his imperial brother would not think so, but in case, why take the risk if it could be avoided? Not to mention the fact that there were those officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory who could tell the fake to be true and were good at reversing black and white, and the three of them became tigers, and he didn't want to take this risk.

Ying Kongchen knows his imperial brother too well, when he ascended to the throne, I don't know how many side royal families who wanted to get on the throne were beheaded.

What's more, he also belongs to the side line, even if he played well as a child, when threatening the chair that symbolizes the highest power, he believes that his royal brother will not hesitate to erase him.

Therefore, after he finished talking with Bai Chen in the City Lord's Mansion, he returned to his temporary mansion.

Since the Second Emperor, there will be a few spare mansions of the royal family in various places, which will be used for the royal family to play or experience the residence, and the royal family only needs to report to the local interpreter.

The bright moon was in the sky, the sky was full of stars, Ying Kongchen sat in the small pavilion, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the anxiety in his heart was calmed down a little.

Ying Kongchen sat quietly, closing his eyes tightly, although the imperial brother just asked him to watch more and do less, but can it really be so?

Qing Dao entered the WTO, as the Great Qin royal family, how could he avoid it, from the moment he was born, his fate was closely linked to the Great Qin, one glory and one loss!

He didn't know what the imperial brother was planning, but he understood that today's calm was just a foreshadowing for tomorrow's storm!

Just today, the envoys of the major immortal sects and demon sects. The major families in the imperial capital spies, and countless people poured into Yuyou City, which actually made the flow of people in Yuyou City more than double in one day!

The city guards are dispatched tonight, and they dare not take anything lightly, and who knows what will happen on a seemingly calm night?

No one knows, and I'm afraid only the imperial brother will know his intentions.

Tonight, it's destined to be sleepless!

......

Thousands of miles away in the imperial capital, in the Xianyang Palace, a middle-aged man with a golden and heavy face was waiting outside the palace, his face a little anxious.

He is one of the three princes today, the Taiwei, the head of the Gongsun family - Gongsun Tinglei.

After a while, a guard walked out and led Gongsun Tinglei into the back hall of the palace.

I saw a young man in a black dragon robe and a golden glass sitting on a chair in the study, Gongsun Tinglei walked to the table, bent over, and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Weichen participates in Your Majesty." ”

Yingkong Li smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, sit down, play a game of chess with me!"

Gongsun Tinglei bent down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After speaking, sitting opposite Yingkongli, I saw that Yingkongli had fallen with a sunspot in his hand, and Gongsun Tinglei also followed, and Baizi fell.

The two went back and forth, the chessboard was gradually filled, the sunspot gradually gained the upper hand, feminine and weird, and the white son seemed to be an upright teacher, bright and upright, and gradually fell into the wind.

Time passed little by little, it seemed that it was a son who won or lost, Gongsun Tinglei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to fall down with the sunspot in his hand, why did His Majesty play such a chess style?

Gongsun Tinglei understands that he will win if this son falls, but does he dare to win?

In the whole chess game, it seems that the black piece has the upper hand, but if the white piece falls, the white chess will come to life and break the black chess with the strength of the upright division!

However, he didn't dare to go down, and he didn't dare to bully the king, Gongsun Tinglei's back was soaked in cold sweat, down, or not?

He didn't believe that His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't be able to see such an obvious chess game, but why did the Emperor do this? What was he implying about?

In this way, Gongsun Tinglei held the sunspot in his hand for a quarter of an hour, motionless, like a scarecrow.

At this time, Yingkong left his mouth to speak, and his tone was still as gentle as at the beginning: "Aiqing, why don't you play?

Gongsun Tinglei was shocked in his heart, and his whole body was shocked, the chess pieces accidentally fell on the chessboard, and in a hurry, the entire chessboard was disrupted.

Gongsun Tinglei hurriedly got up and hurriedly said: "The minister is guilty, accidentally disrupted the chess game, please Your Majesty to surrender!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ying Kongli, and saw that he was still smiling, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Accidentally disrupted? A strong man at the peak of the Xuan Dynasty would be so careless?

However, the victory was not broken, and said lightly: "Aiqing is not guilty, the game of chess just now should be regarded as Aiqing won." ”

"No, Your Majesty has won, the white son of the minister has gradually gained the upper hand, and the rout is not a matter of time!"

Gongsun Tinglei hurriedly responded, and secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead as he spoke.

Yingkong got up, got out of the chair, walked to Gongsun Tinglei, stared at him tightly and said, "Oh, Aiqing didn't know that if your last piece fell, I would lose all the black chess!"

Gongsun Tinglei smiled bitterly, bent down again with a slightly raised waist, gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty is laughing, Weichen really doesn't know, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"

At this time, he can only make mistakes and make mistakes, in short, win the emperor? I'm afraid that he is not looking for death, he has not forgotten the scene when His Majesty the emperor ascended the throne three years ago, Xianyang City was full of people and blood flowed like a river!

And if his Gongsun clan hadn't stood in the right line back then, how could it be his turn to be a lieutenant?

Ying Kongchen didn't seem to see what Gongsun Tinglei was thinking, stepped forward to help Gongsun Tinglei up, and said: "Aiqing's words are serious, Gongsun's hard work over the years, I have remembered it in my heart, since Aiqing didn't see it, how can I say it?"

After speaking, the conversation changed sharply, and he said: "Aiqing, do you know, what major events have happened in Luzhou recently?"

Gongsun Tinglei was a little confused, shouldn't he ask about the entry of the Qing Dao Sect in Youzhou at this juncture?

Luzhou, the place of Confucian inheritance, is it ...... That's the one that can be counted as a big deal.

Gongsun Tinglei groaned slightly, and said to Ying Kongli: "Your Majesty, recently, there are Confucian heirs in Luzhou, who want to be a lecturer in the Great Qin Academy, I don't know what Your Majesty said about this matter?"

"Yes, I don't know what Aiqing thinks about this?"

Ying Kongli nodded and asked.

How do I know what to think? I don't have to listen to you? You are the emperor, you have the final say!

Gongsun Tinglei secretly slandered in his heart, and kept thinking, what was the emperor's intention when he asked him like this?

A thousand years ago, the first emperor killed 72 strong people of Confucianism and Taoism, and since then, the Ying royal family and Confucianism have been on the same page, and they have never interacted with each other.

What is the purpose of today's emperor asking this?

Suddenly, an idea appeared in Gongsun Tinglei's mind, and then he thought of Baili Tenghai going to Luzhou five days ago, and he was shocked, even he couldn't believe this idea, but who could know the heart of the emperor?

With a move in his heart, Gongsun Tinglei opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that since Confucianism is willing to be a lecturer in the academy, why not let them try?"

In this way, it can not only reassure the heart of Confucianism, but also reflect the broad-mindedness of the emperor.

Solid, I thought I could give it a try!"

After speaking, he peeked at Ying Kongli, and saw that Ying Kongli was still smiling, and his face did not change, but he did not speak.

Gongsun Tinglei kept beating the drum in his heart, a little nervous, he knew that he was gambling, and if he won the bet, he would become the real confidant of today's young emperor!

If the bet is lost, the entire Gongsun clan will pay for it, but he has no choice.
