Chapter 316: The undercurrent is surging
Ji Meiqiu poked her head out of the water and found that in the small pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake, there were two familiar figures, namely Pan Zhong who saw him in the morning, and the chief of the guard of the palace side by side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sir, the prince has received the letter, the third prince has set off from Xuchang, and in two months, he will arrive in Bianjing. ”
"Why do you have to wait for the third prince, how much effect can adding him have?"
Ji Meiqiu was very confused when he heard this, could this third prince be Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, otherwise how could he come from Xuchang.
The conversation in the small pavilion did not stop because of Ji Meiqiu's doubts.
"If the third prince doesn't come, the one on Wusheng Mountain, can your family deal with it?"
"The third prince brought the master over, and the chance of success increased a lot. Well, the Pan family will not sit idly by this time. ”
"The prince has high hopes for the Pan family, and after success, he will share the results with the Pan family. ”
"What do you need the Pan family to do?"
"Old Man Pan is the Minister of Internal Guard, in charge of the Imperial Palace's internal security, what the Pan family wants to do is to strengthen the control of the internal security. ”
"The emperor has a very strict control over the internal guards, and the ancestors can only take care of some daily affairs, and they can't interfere in the selection of the internal guards. Except for a very small number of internal guards who were close to the family ancestor, everyone else was very loyal to the emperor. ”
"Go back immediately, draft a plan, transfer all the disobedient high-level internal security officials, and put it forward at the court meeting tomorrow, someone will help the old man. ”
"Okay, that's it, I'm leaving. ”
The conversation in the small pavilion ended, and Ji Meiqiu knew that they were going back, so she immediately dived into the water and returned to the Jianhu Villa.
After jumping out of the water, Ji Meiqiu silently performed Xuangong, and the clothes on his body were completely dry in less than a quarter of an hour, and then he went to the palace.
Entering his own cross-courtyard through the back door, Xu Ning was already waiting here.
"Meiqiu, the prince is looking for you and wants you to come back, go to the study immediately. ”
Ji Meiqiu faintly sensed what was about to happen, gathered her thoughts, and prepared to meet the second person in the empire.
Sure enough, as Ji Meiqiu expected, there were three people waiting in the study, and Comrade Zhao leaned on a middle-aged man who had never met before and had a cold look in his eyes.
"I've seen the prince. Entering the study, Ji Meiqiu arched his hand towards Zhao Defang.
Zhao Defang was about to introduce the identity of the guest, but the middle-aged man spoke first: "Why don't you kneel?"
Imperial etiquette stipulates that on formal occasions, when meeting a high-ranking person above the duke, a large salute is required.
Ji Meiqiu ignored the middle-aged man, and Zhao Defang said with a smile on his face: "The emperor loves this son of sincerity, and he is allowed to meet him with regular courtesy." ”
"Hmph"
Comrade Zhao didn't care about the emotions of the middle-aged man, he threw himself at Ji Meiqiu, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, why don't you come to see me, I don't like you anymore." ”
"Meiqiu, this is the word side by side king, the situation of the trial of the Sumeru space, you can explain it in detail to the side by side king. ”
"I've seen the King of the Side-by-Side. Ji Meiqiu still clenched his fists and gave his hands, and the king was very dissatisfied, but the emperor had something to say, and he couldn't blame him.
The king said coldly: "Champion Hou, Sumeru space trial, what happened, you can tell me in detail, and you must not hide it at all." ”
Ji Meiqiu stood in the middle of the study, except for pretending to be a ghost, and told the two princes all the circumstances in detail.
Regarding the various treasures he obtained, the Fire Dragon Venerable, the Jade Ding Tianzun and others he had seen, and all kinds of secret things, of course Ji Meiqiu would not be stupid enough to tell him.
Zhao Defang did not ask Ji Meiqiu to talk about the experience of the Sumeru space in detail. He was very dissatisfied with the hegemony of the Qing Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Great Qin Celestial Dynasty. It's just that the king is here, and he didn't say anything immediately.
"In this way, you have basically killed the trialists of the four kingdoms of the Great Qin Heavenly Dynasty?"
"As a last resort. Ji Meiqiu's expression couldn't be more real.
The king put forward his intentions: "What blow has the comrade suffered, and why has he lost most of his memory?"
The side by side king did not directly point out, if Comrade Zhao became stupid, it seems that this is a very face-saving guy. As long as there is a weakness, Ji Meiqiu has a way to deal with it.
"We were together for no more than a month. Ji Meiqiu said lightly: "Brother Zhao is decisive, and many things are not measured by us. But ......"
"But what, say it quickly. "The king thinks he's got the key.
"Dong Wei of the Pillow Chamber of Commerce and Nian Qianyao of the Qing Empire threatened to take Brother Zhao's life, I don't know why?"
This situation was obviously beyond the expectations of the side king, and he snorted heavily: "Remember your words today, if you hide half of your words, no matter who protects me, I will take your life." ”
Side by side Wang brushed his sleeves away, Zhao Defang hurriedly sent him out of the palace and returned to the study, Ji Meiqiu sat cross-legged in the study on the spot, her face pale.
Ji Meiqiu didn't make a fool of herself on the spot, which surprised the king side by side. With his identity, it was impossible to strike again, so he had to leave in a huff.
The cold snort of the side side king made Ji Meiqiu feel that his chest was like a lightning strike, blood poured into his throat, and his body was unstable, so he barely held out until the side side king walked out of the study, immediately took out the Dafang Dan and took it, sat down cross-legged, and silently recited the Great Yan Recipe to heal his wounds.
Fortunately, Ji Meiqiu's great trick is very magical, and he has experienced the strengthening of Gangfeng Land and the exercise of starlight, and the tenacity of his body far surpasses that of martial artists in the same realm.
When Ji Meiqiu woke up, it was already the next day, Zhao Defang had already put on the court clothes, and put a new set of court clothes in front of Ji Meiqiu.
"Well, a blessing in disguise. Seeing Ji Meiqiu's ruddy face, Zhao Defang said happily: "Go and wash up, I'm about to go to court." ”
It was the first time for Ji Meiqiu to wear such complicated clothes, but fortunately, Zhao Defang was considerate and sent his maid to help Ji Meiqiu do all this.
"It's more tiring than fighting. "Wearing the court clothes, Ji Meiqiu is already a big man, but he doesn't dare to delay. Because he knew that Zhao Defang was waiting outside his door.
Waiting outside the door, there are also Pi Qiu, Yi Shui, Guixiong, Zhao Ding and others. Guixiong shouted stupidly, asking Ji Meiqiu to come back early, and Zhao Ding and Pi Qiu, the envious eyes of the two made Ji Meiqiu feel unbearable.
The vast Imperial Palace shook out in the pre-dawn darkness in exceptional tranquility. Ji Meiqiu went to court for the first time, and her mood was uneasy with the sound of the "squeaky and squeaky" carriage.
Ji Meiqiu is about to take up the actual post of the Ministry of War, and the news has spread throughout the empire, and the high-level officials know about it. When Ji Meiqiu followed Zhao Defang to the front of the Vertical Arch Palace, the officials who participated in the court meeting were already waiting here, and countless cold eyes shot at Ji Meiqiu in unison.
The soul ball had been activated, and Ji Meiqiu found that three or five of them were full of hatred, three or five of them were joyful and encouraging, and most of them were envy or doubt.
When Ji Meiqiu was concentrating on these things, a soft shout came from the side.
