Chapter 170

After a while of tea, the housekeeper arranged the room for Princess Gaoyang and asked her to check it. Princess Gaoyang took her three maidservants to clean up the room, leaving Qin mubai and Li Ke in the hall to continue drinking tea.

"What do I think of your bitter hatred?" Li Ke looks at Qin mubai with a smile of happiness.

"Well, it's hard to say enough!" Qin mubai sighed. I haven't really relaxed my nerves all day. I'm really tired.

"The matter of Gaoyang has already been regarded as a matter of no danger and no danger." Li Ke said, "when I saw her appear in my house, I knew that my father would not be hard for him. After returning to Beijing, I had heard that Fang Xuanling had driven Fang Yiai out of his home and rushed to the northwest frontier to be exiled. This royal marriage is completely done. But as a result, you can be regarded as indirectly offending the house. "

"I know." Qin Mu nodded, "it's not my intention. But it's more or less about me. The people of Fang family dare not resent the emperor and Princess Gaoyang, so they have to be angry with me. Before that, I had a conflict with Chang sun Huan, which led him to be kicked out of Baiqi. Now I have a gap with Fang family I have offended the two most important ministers of the dynasty. Ha ha, I'm a little hundred riding envoy. It's not so good at making trouble. "

"You're good enough." Li Ke said with a smile, "when I was in Jiangzhou, even I admired you very much. At that time, the complicated and dangerous situation was solved smoothly under your mediation. To tell you the truth, it would be hard for me to deal with so many things without you. A small Jiangzhou. It involves the eldest brother of the prince and the king of Jiangxia I'm afraid of it. If we mishandle it a little, it is likely to cause a drastic change in the court. At that time, I will either be abandoned by my father, or I will completely offend the people in the crown prince camp, or I will take King Jiang Xia into the water together, or I will be hated by everyone. "

"Fortunately, it's all over." Qin mubai's heart brightened and asked, "by the way, your majesty called you back to court. What did you do with it?"

"Ha ha, I'm going to tell you if you don't ask. It's really interesting. " Li Ke clapped his hands and laughed, then said, "why else do I admire you so much? Remember when you and I still had Quan Wanji, the three people conspired to make a plan together? ——I didn't report the victory of Marquis nanhou. You played the emperor secretly. Quan Wanji fell out with me for an excuse to expose me. What a wonderful plan! After returning to the court, my father scolded me when he was in the court. He told me that I was protecting the royal family because of my official duty. He ordered me to go back to the government to reflect on myself and banned me. But two days later, Zongzheng temple and the prime minister's cabinet wrote down together, remembering my contribution to disaster relief in Jiangzhou, restoring my food town, and giving me the hereditary governor of Jingzhou, who will take office in two years. At the same time, the prince was also scolded. His majesty denounced him for not being good at employing and making friends. He was also punished for not having enough insight and was sentenced to half a year's salary. "

"Ha ha, it's interesting." Qin Mu nodded his head and laughed. "On the surface, the emperor was very angry. He played fifty boards to each of your brothers. In fact, I didn't hurt you in the dark. You, in particular, have just finished the punishment and immediately received a reward. Your majesty, there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Ha ha

"Ha ha, no!" Li Ke also laughed, "or you're right. Nowadays, the emperor's most important thing for us princes is not the virtue, but the harmony between brothers. This time I was punished for not betraying the prince. My father was angry on his face and happy in his heart. He knew the case so well that I didn't have to report it to him. Therefore, he hopes that I can shield the prince from attacking the eldest brother of the prince in order to compete for the throne of the crown prince

Qin Mu's white eyebrows slightly twisted: "listen to what you say, it seems that the king of Wei has offended his majesty?"

"Not bad." Li Ke nodded. "I also heard about it after I went back to court. Just when the case of Jiangzhou was the most serious and we found that the situation of Shengnan Marquis was the most urgent, before your secret music was sent to the emperor, the king of Wei had already sent someone to the secret music to tell the emperor the whole case of Jiangzhou. Lao Si did a good job. He invited a local official of Jiangzhou to report directly to the censor's station in an anonymous way. Because it led to the victory of the South Marquis, the Yushitai people did not dare to lightly hand over to Zongzheng temple and informed the Prime Minister of the cabinet. So repeatedly played a few reincarnation, he will be old four's traces hidden without a trace. But after all, the emperor is a man with a clear eye. How can such a small trick be concealed from his old man? Before long, the secret official was invited to Chang'an by the people of Dali temple. His majesty asked him in person. After three or two rounds, he confessed honestly. It was the king of Wei who ordered him to play

"In this way, although the emperor will not attack the king of Wei, he must be angry in his heart." Qin mubai said, "it's nothing to do with the king of Wei. Just because it involves the prince and you, he reaches out to Jiangzhou far away. The king of Wei made a mistake this time. In the case of Jiangzhou, the emperor's real intention was to impeach the local bureaucrats, to warn the prince, and to shock the king of Jiangxia. The king of Wei thought that a great opportunity had come. Since then, the emperor really wanted to abolish the crown prince, so he hastened to do something in secret. Once the emperor found out His prospects are bleak. ""Very true." Li Ke's mouth rose slightly. Laughing a little mysterious and profound, he said, "after returning to Beijing, I heard that when the case of Jiangzhou was found deep, his royal highness suddenly found the emperor to plead guilty. He said that his nanniang's brother, Sheng nanhou, had committed many crimes in Jiangzhou. Under the banner of him, he has been cheating and abducting people everywhere. He confessed his mistake to his majesty and drew a clear line with shengnanhou as soon as he could, and then he fell down on shengnanhou. In this way, further investigation into the depth of the case will have no great significance, because his majesty has achieved his goal. In retrospect, you immediately decided to kill Hegan Chengji and others. What a brilliant move! "

"Ha ha!" Qin Mu Bai laughed, "I was in a hurry to get wisdom at that time. After killing Hegan Chengji, I sent someone to send a letter to the prince. Sure enough, he was not stupid. He understood what I meant and immediately went to the palace to admit his mistake to the emperor, leaving behind his relationship with Shengnan marquis. It's good for him and for us. In this way. We will not be caught between the crown prince camp and his majesty. "

"Yes, it's a magic stroke!" Li Ke Chang breathed a sigh and said with a smile, "it's lucky that you are such a resourceful and decisive person to give me some advice, otherwise this time I will definitely capsize. Let's not say anything else, just kill heganchengji. I can't do it. Mubai, I really admire you this time. From now on, I will obey you. "

"Does that include inviting me to dinner? It's been a long day. I'm really hungry now. " Qin mubai said with a smile.

"What's the difficulty? Ha ha Li Ke laughed, then clapped, "come on. Get ready for dinner! For Princess Gaoyang and general Qin

The servant answered the promise and went to prepare immediately.

"One more thing, by the way." Li Ke said, "I heard that King Jiangxia had resigned as governor of Jinzhou and asked to return to Chang'an for retirement."

"What. Why didn't I hear that? " Qin mubai was a little surprised.

"You may have been on the road at that time, just in recent days." Li Ke said, "I have restored the court class and attended the court every day. Although this matter has not been discussed by the court, several core ministers are well aware of it, and I have heard a little bit about it. It is said that. The emperor refused three times in a row, and the king of Jiangxia insisted on it four times. He asked to resign because he was sick. Because of his helplessness, the emperor had to agree temporarily. It may not be long before King Jiang Xia returns to Chang'an. "

Qin Mu nodded and thought. After the case of Jiangzhou, I don't know how the king of Jiangxia negotiated with the emperor. At that time, the biggest backstage of that major case was king Jiang Xia. Although he is not the direct mastermind and black hand, but if it is not for him to help support the flag, Sheng nanhou and others will not be so arrogant. Although he was only used by others, as the leader of one side, he was not strict and indirectly helped the tyrant, which was also a serious fault. Moreover, the king of Jiangxia also understood the emperor's intention, and was afraid that he would have some great achievements. Now the torrent retreats bravely and resigns from his official post. It's not bad to spend a few days at ease.

"Mubai, this time you can be regarded as both fame and wealth, both people and goods!" Li Ke laughs unkindly.

"I don't understand that." Qin mubai said with a smile. "I've never been clean except for all my troubles. What have I got?"

"Why, you don't tell me the truth in front of me?" Li Ke said with a smile, "first of all, the emperor must be quite satisfied with the result of your handling of this case, because the stability of the court is his most important thing. Moreover, he achieved the goal of impeaching the prince and the king of Jiangxia. Isn't it a good job to have the best of both worlds? Therefore, the emperor must be greatly appreciative and satisfied with you. Secondly, the prince must be helped by you to avoid a catastrophe. Although you killed his confidant, he ganchengji, he must clap his hands in secret. I wish you could kill him more and help him more. Now, you are his great benefactor. He may be celebrating in the mansion every day, waiting for you to thank you face-to-face at the banquet. Thirdly, I don't have to say anything about the king of Jiangxia? If it wasn't for your ingenious plan, you would have thought that it had something to do with him and informed him in advance. It's not clear where he is now. This is also a great favor for him. It depends on how he pays it back Not to mention. You've taken Gao Yang out of the palace and eloped to my house. Isn't that both men and goods? "

"Elopement?" Qin mubai widened his eyes and said, "don't talk nonsense. I've been escorting the princess to your house by the order of the Yin imperial concubine. I'm a hundred horse envoy who works for the royal family. You don't know it! "

"Pretend! You can pretend! Go on Li Ke shook his head and sighed in jealousy for a long time, and said, "sometimes I really envy you. If I can exchange skins, I would rather not be the prince and change my identity with you. Look at you. How nice! Now the emperor, the prince and the king of Jiangxia all regard you as a sweet cake. What a glory it is and what a bright future it is Look at those little beauties around you. They are more beautiful and affectionate. There is not only my persistent and hot Huobao Huangmei, but also my valiant heroine Chen Yan. There is also a smart and capable Wu Meiniang - eh, right! Does Wu Meiniang seem to have returned to Chang'an? When I was just practicing archery in the backyard, I heard something happened in Wufu. She should have come back. "Qin mubai laughed: "you know a lot of things. Yes, Wu Meiniang came back from Jiangzhou with me. "

"Oh, are you still in Jiangzhou private meeting?" Li Ke curled his lips jealously. "Well, you're so romantic and happy when I'm gone! Hum, but don't be proud too soon. After a while, Wu Meiniang and Gao Yang will meet sooner or later. Neither of these two women is a fuel-efficient lamp. If these two people are jealous, it must be the thunder that moves the fire. I'll see how you take it! "

Qin mubai's heart also suddenly burst out, and he said in secret: it seems that there is no lack of trouble around me Yes, the emperor and the Yin imperial concubine have already mentioned to me the marriage of Princess Gaoyang. How can I tell Wu Meiniang?
