"Chu Li, this king won't let you fight alone!" Prince Bao said in a deep voice: "You need help, just ask!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Chu Li nodded and said, "The army of the Western Frontier is now all under the command of King Ping?"

"King Ping, the chief photographer, is the marshal. Prince Bao said: "100,000 troops, high and powerful, which one can be willing to let go?"

"Doesn't the emperor have a perfect plan?" Chu Li shook his head and said, "The emperor is a wise man today, how can he come to such a situation?"

"The imperial brother is wise to others, but his handling of family affairs is a mess, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!" Prince Bao sighed: "Everything is careless, he attaches too much importance to family affection, and it is inevitable to be indecisive!"

Chu Li nodded slowly.

From this point of view, it is even more important to be careful when killing King An, you can't do it casually, otherwise the emperor will definitely go crazy, how terrible a crazy god master is, I can't imagine it, but I will definitely not let the murderer escape, and I can't escape his pursuit.

Prince Bao said: "Among the princes, King Ping is the most like the emperor. ”

Chu Li raised his eyebrows: "As far as I know, it seems that King Jing's call for succession is even higher." ”

"King Jing has a higher mind, and he is shrewd and capable in handling affairs, even not inferior to the emperor. Prince Bao said: "The ministers are very respectful of King Jing's talent and character, which can be said to be the heart of ten thousand people, and King Ping's temperament is more like the emperor, and King Jing is not like the emperor." ”

Chu Li nodded slowly.

In this way, they will be entangled in which one to choose, one is closer and wants him to succeed to the throne, and the other is more suitable, the prince who is respected by the courtiers, and if he can take over the throne in the future, the court will be safe and sound.

Prince Bao said: "King Ping has a hard temper and is not good at managing things, but he is talented in marching and fighting, he went to Western Xinjiang before, from a small centurion, did not rely on the advantages of the prince, step by step to marshal, commanding an army of 100,000, is indeed a genius in the world." ”

Chu Li sighed: "It's a curse or a blessing." ”

"Exactly. Prince Bao said: "Once King Jing succeeds to the throne, what will be done with this younger brother? King Ping's prestige in the army is unparalleled, and he can command the army with one sentence, and King Jing can sleep peacefully?"

Chu Li said: "Once King Jing becomes the emperor, isn't he a god?" ”

"The emperor is not the only god. Prince Bao said lightly.

Chu Li nodded slowly.

If King Ping and Da Lei Yin Temple form an alliance, it is useless for anyone to succeed to the throne, how can such a real threat not be eliminated?

Prince Bao said: "The emperor is entangled in this, one has unparalleled prestige in the army, the other has unparalleled prestige among the courtiers, any one succeeds to the throne, and the other will not end up much better, this is the most painful thing for the emperor, he is in a dilemma, and he can't make up his mind!"

"The emperor didn't expect this at the beginning?" Chu Li frowned.

As the emperor, there must always be a foresight of things, and it should not be allowed to develop.

"The emperor was soft-hearted, and he had always wanted to cut King Ping's military power, but every time King Ping played the right game, he immediately changed his mind. Prince Bao shook his head and sighed: "King Ping's temper is too much like the emperor, he will be the emperor when he meets, and the father and son can quarrel fiercely, but he likes King Ping the most." ”

Chu Li picked up the white jade cup, took a sip, and said that it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and it was really not suitable to mix with the affairs of the imperial court.

——

Chu Li returned to King An's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the gate, Chief Manager Chu greeted him: "Chief Administrator, your subordinates are waiting." ”

Chu Li came to the hall and saw Dong Qifei walking around the hall, and Yang Zongwen was sitting in the Taishi chair sipping tea lightly, his eyes closed as if enjoying the fragrance of tea.

"Centurion!" Dong Qifei hurriedly greeted him.

Chu Li waved his hand and sat down on the main seat: "It's so late, I can't say anything tomorrow." ”

"Centurion, I can't wait for tomorrow!" Dong Qifei hurriedly said: "This time they are too much!"

Chu Li looked at Yang Zongwen.

Yang Zongwen hugged his fists and said: "Centurion, Lao Dong is right, this time Mei Yiyuan went too far, and even took advantage of the centurion's absence, he snatched the second assassination case and ate alone!"

Chu Li frowned: "Shan Shizi's assassination case?"

"That's it!" Dong Qifei said: "Jiang Shizi's assassination case has not been solved, and they even have the cheekiness to rob the second case, and they also say that the two cases are related, and being together is the most conducive to solving the case, this is really shameless!"

Chu Li waved his hand: "Yang Zongwen, when did this happen?"

"An hour ago. Yang Zongwen said: "This second assassination case was directly handed over to our Secret Guard Mansion, not to Shendu Mansion Yin, who was originally going to be handed over to our Mei Second Courtyard, but as a result, the centurion was not there, and Chen Donghai of the Mei First Courtyard snatched it up." ”

Chu Li said, "Then the commander didn't say anything?"

The commander didn't agree at first, but later Chen Donghai issued a military order, saying that the case would be solved within three days, otherwise he would be willing to be punished. Dong Qifei said hatefully: "They must have mastered some clues, and they robbed this case with certainty, it's really not a thing!"

Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Is he really sure?"

"Three days to solve the case. Yang Zongwen said: "Time is so tight, is he sure that he dares to rob this second case?"

Dong Qifei said: "Centurion, this matter can't be counted like this, if we don't get it back, our Mei Second Courtyard will be treated as a soft pestle, and they will come over to bully us!"

Yang Zongwen nodded and said, "Centurion, what Lao Dong said is true, we have to get it back." ”

Chu Li frowned and snorted: "Forget this case, next time I will rob them!"

He didn't expect Mei Yiyuan to be so active, he was anxious, but he was really sure, it was the best, it was exactly what he wanted.

was able to solve the case, Prince Bao had nothing to say, he didn't accept it, but he was snatched away by Mei Yiyuan when he went to the banquet.

Seeing that Chu Li was indifferent, Dong Qifei was anxious: "Centurion, this case has been solved, and it is a four-grade military merit...... Four military merits!"

Yang Zongwen said slowly: "That's why Mei Yiyuan is red-eyed." ”

Dong Qifei said: "Four-grade military merits, we don't do anything for two years, we can also eat and drink spicy food, and the rewards we get can be exchanged for silver, and we can buy a mansion similar to the Secret Guard Mansion!"

Chu Li raised his eyebrows.

He is not so sensitive to military exploits, as the head of the palace and the head of the Guogong Mansion, when he is not short of money, there is no shortage of swords and the like, so he doesn't care.

Yang Zongwen said: "Centurion, since Chen Donghai is not benevolent, we don't have to talk about the rules, just tell the commander, our Mei Second Court will also investigate, check each other, see who can break it first, and the reward will go to whom!"

"That's it, this time I'm going to slap them in the face!" Dong Qifei hurriedly said: "Let the other courtyards know that our Mei Second Courtyard is powerful, so that they don't dare to steal the merit again!"

Chu Li said: "Next time, forget it this time." ”

It's really unwise to get into huge trouble for the sake of a big house.

"Centurion——!" Dong Qifei shouted dissatisfied.

Chu Li waved his hand impatiently, "Go, I'm tired too, don't be an eyesore here, busy with your go." ”

"Centurion, four-grade military merits!" Dong Qifei shouted.

Chu Li said: "Sooner or later, there will be military merits, go ahead!"

As he spoke, he got up and went back to his small courtyard.

The next day, I went to the Secret Guard Mansion, and as soon as I arrived at the mansion, one of the guards said: "Centurion Chu, the commander is invited!"

Chu Li nodded and came to the hall.

In addition to the deputy commander, there was also a middle-aged man, Chen Donghai, the centurion of the Mei First Courtyard. (To be continued.) )
