Chapter 188: Confrontation
The beautiful maid's colorful skirt fluttered, and she came to the small courtyard lightly, and said in a low voice: "Chu guard, the prince is invited." β
Chu Li restrained his anger, nodded and smiled: "There is labor." β
He followed the maid out of the small courtyard, and after passing through the moon gate, he saw Chief Chu.
Manager Chu waved lazily: "Come with me." β
Chu Li hugged his fists and didn't say much.
He secretly sighed that the second lady wanted to marry such a ruthless and powerful King An, which was tantamount to a little white rabbit sending himself to the mouth of the big bad wolf.
He smiled bitterly, this is not only to blame the second lady for being stupid, but also to blame her for her bad fate and bad luck, who would have thought that King An under the name of Qing would be such a person, and he would not be a lady.
It's like when he met a liar or a drunk driver in the later life, he was unlucky, and he couldn't help it!
He was angry, angry and pitiful, and he couldn't wait to scold the second lady in front of him that he deserved it.
Manager Chu said slowly: "Tell you about the rules of the prince, lest you make a mistake and blame the head of your Guogong Mansion." β
Chu Li said: "Please also ask Manager Chu for guidance." β
"Ahem. Manager Chu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said lazily: "Our prince likes to be quiet the most, he doesn't like loud sounds, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by anyone and delay him from studying." β
"Yes. Chu Li nodded, no wonder there was no one outside his study, it seemed that he was very sensitive to sound.
This shows that he has been in a state of agitation, impetuousness, and depression, and this kind of person is the most irritable.
Manager Chu said: "The prince is the most approachable, but he hates deception the most, like the people in the house, he made mistakes, and he said it honestly." There will be no great punishment if it is a lie. Then expel from the house and never use it!"
Chu Li nodded.
He understood what Mr. Chu meant. It is for him to confess honestly and not hide it.
"The murder of the envoy of the palace is the responsibility of your national government, right?" Chief Chu's voice was still lazy, but his eyes were sharply sharp.
Chu Li sighed: "This matter is our responsibility, careless, I thought that no one would dare to touch the people of the palace, so I didn't send too many masters to escort it, our mansion is looking for the murderer, and the murderer will definitely be severely punished." Avenge the envoy of the palace!"
"Hmph!" Chief Chu sneered: "Everyone is dead, what's the use of revenge!"
Chu Li said: "These people are so bold, if they dare to kill the people of the palace today, they will dare tomorrow." β
Manager Chu frowned and said, "Isn't Chongming Road Boping Haijing? Why is this happening, you are whitewashing the peace!"
Chu Li sighed: "It was because of the peace, so I didn't expect that the envoy of the palace would be killed." β
"Anyway, you have a point!" said Mr. Chu coldly.
Chu Li smiled and said no more.
This Chief Manager Chu is scheming, and he keeps putting a hat on the Guogong Mansion, and he can only see the moves. Block back.
The two came to the sparse courtyard, Prince An's study.
"Lord Wang, people have already brought. Mr. Chu lowered his voice.
Chu Li didn't step into the courtyard, and his hairs stood on end. Immediately put himself in a dry state, as if he had not healed from his injury, and the masters of the Outer Heaven in the shadows formed a compelling momentum. As if to warn him faintly.
"Come in!" came Lord An's voice.
Mr. Chu stepped on the steps and gently pushed the door open, and the wooden door turned silently. The gloom opens.
He bowed down in pleading, a far cry from his previous snubbing.
Chu Li stepped into the hall. Clench your fists and salute.
Prince An sat peacefully in the Taishi chair, dressed in a yellow robe, even if his face was scorched and sickly, he still did not lose his noble bearing.
He held the celadon tea cup and looked Chu Li up and down, his blazing eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his heart.
Chu Li lowered his eyes slightly, stood quietly, and the big round mirror was urged.
Prince An put down the teacup and said lightly: "I heard that your second young lady is getting better, is it true?"
Chu Li said: "Yes, the second young lady is in good health and has recovered her health. β
Prince An looked at him fixedly, his gaze was pressing: "I've been sick since I was a child, why should I get better?"
Chu Li said: "I found an immortal grass in the house. β
"Oh, the ...... of the Immortal Grass" Prince An nodded slowly, his eyes flickering.
Chu Li's heart sank.
He finally solved a doubt, the lock yuan technique turned out to be performed by Prince An!
At that time, Prince An was in his twenties, and when the second lady was born, he went to the Yiguo Mansion to watch, and secretly performed the lock yuan technique, which was so vicious that it was chilling.
Prince An said lightly: "I heard that I have won the lock yuan technique, I am friends with your little grandfather, he lived in my house for a while when he was a child,...... Tie Ying went to his father, and his father was in retreat, and I helped to ask for the queen mother, and finally sent the forbidden palace to worship,...... Unraveled?"
Chu Li sighed secretly, no wonder the second young lady was stupid, Prince An was actually a friend of the eldest prince.
He knew that the eldest prince had no good impression of Prince An, and originally thought that it was simply an instinctive dislike for his brother-in-law, so he didn't dig deeper, but now that he thinks about it, maybe the eldest prince also knows that King An is inappropriate.
It's a pity that he, as an elder brother, can't cure his sister, just like parents can't cure their children.
Chu Li said: "The second young lady has been unraveled,...... Has the prince seen the third lady?"
"Xiaoqi, she is a withdrawn girl, she likes to be alone since she was a child, but I have never seen ,...... Well, congratulations. Prince An stroked his hair and smiled: "That king is also relieved." β
"Thank you, Lord Wang. Chu Li said: "The killing of the envoy this time was due to the lack of thought of our government, and we should send a few masters of the outer heavens to escort it." β
The implication of his words was that Prince An should send a few masters of the Outer Heaven to escort him.
He secretly sighed that the fate of the second lady was indeed not good, and King An didn't meet Xiao Qi's original form.
Prince An waved his hand and said: "I can't complain to you about this matter, the Guogong Mansion will not kill the envoy of the palace, if you don't want to, just say it, this king will not be reluctant!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "The prince is famous, and if he can marry the prince, everyone in our mansion is happy, and there is no reluctance!"
Prince An This is a heart-wrenching statement, it seems that the Yiguo Mansion is reluctant to do this family affair, and wants to kill the envoy of the palace to stop the family affair, of course he can't admit this.
Prince An stroked his beard and jaw: "Then the king will rest assured, this king has never been difficult to do, and the second lady is peerless and can enter the palace." The king was also very happy. β
"Thank you, Lord Wang. Chu Li clenched his fists.
"Tie Ying's letter said that it was the Renguo Mansion that killed the people?" said Prince An lightly.
Chu Li said: "Yes." They were originally going to blame the Huaiguo Mansion, and it just so happened that it was. A guard of the main house recognized a killer as an enshriner of the Inkook Mansion. β
"What a coincidence. Lord An smiled.
Chu Li nodded: "People are not as good as heaven, if the Huaiguo Mansion suffers this injustice, it will not be able to say that its vitality will be greatly damaged." β
"Isn't the Renguo Mansion going to marry the Huaiguo Mansion? Why do you do this?"
"One mountain and two tigers, presumably they must be separated. β
"Alas...... , spend all your thoughts on this, no wonder there are people in the martial arts who keep making trouble. Prince An shook his head and sighed: "They have all forgotten the original intention of the establishment of the Guogong Mansion!"
"The people in the martial arts are chaotic, and they can't complain about the national government. Chu Li shook his head and said: "These cities are guarded by the powerful and the common people, and they do mischief, and the court does not add checks and balances, making them more and more lawless, causing the heavens to be angry and resentful, but all people with blood can not bear it." β
King An frowned: "It's exaggerated, right?"
Chu Li said: "This time, the desolate city guard was stabbed, presumably the imperial court already knew that it was the hand of the Huaiguo Mansion. β
"Wang's two heroes. King An said lightly.
Chu Li said: "As the worship of the Guogong Mansion, they know the importance of it. The city guards can't be killed, but why do they still know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains? I really can't bear it...... If they are like this, what will happen to those martial arts people who are chivalrous and righteous?"
King An stroked his hair and smiled: "Listen to this." You seem to be on the side of the martial arts?"
Chu Li Zhengse said: "On the contrary, I am worried about the imperial court, and if it goes on like this." The big season is unstable,...... The prince is the prince. It should be understood that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and the people's grievances are boiling. How can the world not be chaotic!"
"Then what can you do?" said King An stroking his hair and smiling disapprovingly.
The official law is like a furnace, the people are like iron, and those ant people can't make any big mess.
Chu Li said: "Equal power, the power of the city guard is too great, the governor has become an ornament, often colluding, deceiving the upper and lower, if it can increase the power of the governor and can compete with the city guard, it is not easy to collude and connect, and it is more conducive to the control of the imperial court." β
"Hmm......" King An thought.
Chu Li still has a killer idea, and he doesn't want to put it forward, that is, to add another person and divide power.
As soon as this proposal came out, the official position naturally increased, and all the officials in the world wanted to feel that the person who proposed it did not want King An to get this credit.
"Of course, this is just a little shallow view of the villain, if you don't enter the eyes of the Fang family, don't laugh at me. Chu Lidao.
King An stroked his beard and waved his hand and said, "It is worthy of being a second-grade guard, and he has good knowledge." β
The big people in the court can look down on the world so condescendingly, Chu Li, as a guard, has such insight and extraordinary integrity, which is commendable.
This life and the previous life of the Tang Dynasty are like, tens of thousands of years, the political system is stable, Chu Li comes from the present world, the frequent changes of dynasties are far better than this world, the crystallization of wisdom precipitated by history, Chu Li unconsciously extracted, feel that it is ordinary common sense, but here it seems to have seen people, very different from the ordinary.
"This time, I sent someone over, first, to teach the rules of the second lady's palace, so as not to make jokes in the house. King An stroked his hair and smiled: "The second is to set the date of marriage, the queen mother has already calculated with the people of Qin Tianjian, and it is best to get married in March next year." β
"Next March?" Chu Li groaned.
It's only September now, and there are still six months left before March, and it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night after half a year.
It turned out that the queen was satisfied with Xiao Shi, and King An couldn't help but marry, so he had to use secret means.
He looked up at King An, and his anger was raging, and he wanted to slap him to death with one palm.
The road is one foot high, the devil is one foot high, the evil always suppresses the right, the human heart is vicious, no matter how indifferent and indifferent Xiao Shi is, the heart is not innocent, if he really enters the palace, he is really a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Compared with King An, Xiao Shi wants to sacrifice herself to let the Guogong Mansion breathe a sigh of relief, how naΓ―ve and ridiculous, how stupid, ridiculous and pathetic!
Thinking of this, Chu Li was even more angry.
Under the wisdom of the big round mirror, no matter how big the anger is, it will be suppressed, and the head will be level-headed.
"Is the prince's body unwell?" Chu Li made a statement of concern, and his tone was sincere and sincere: "I see that the prince's face is not very good. β
King An's face was scorched, his face was sickly, he was a master of the Outer Heavens, Chu Li had already seen through the Great Circle Mirror Wisdom that there were two breaths in his body that were entangled.
King An is always running his mind to fight against this internal force, which cannot be expelled and cannot be shaken off.
Prince An waved his hand and said, "A little injury, but it's okay, how is Tie Ying going to deal with this incident?"
Chu Li smiled: "I was only ordered to come to deliver the letter, and I don't know the rest." β
An Wang Ye said: "I will reply to Tie Ying, and send a few more people over, you go back first." β
Chu Li said: "Yes, then I will leave next!"
Wang Ye An stroked his hair and nodded with a smile, and picked up the celadon teacup.
Chu Li hugged his fists and left.
He turned around and returned to the previous small courtyard, not in a hurry to leave, the opportunity was rare, to get a glimpse of more of the palace and find a way to kill King An.
King An is not dead, Xiao Shi cannot escape, he has no choice.
Although the palace is big, Prince An spends most of his time in the study, reading, meditating and pranayama, suppressing the abnormal qi in the body, Chu Li saw his mental flow through the big circle mirror.
The mental method refined by the royal family is top secret and has not been passed down to the world, Chu Li tried to operate King An's mental method, and tried to find out the weaknesses.
