After Song Yu walked away, Song Qing swayed and said, "Third brother, put me down quickly. If you hang me down again, my brother must confess to performing in this martial arts field today."
Liu Mingzhi did not hesitate, and hurriedly untied the rope tied to the stone lock and gently released Song Qing: "I say, brother, you are a guard in the palace who protects the emperor. You are armed with martial arts. My uncle is just a Weak scholar, you won't run away when he beats you. When he comes back after his anger subsides, my uncle can't really beat you to death, can he?"
Song Qing untied the rope around his waist and sighed melancholy, his face full of sadness and helplessness: "Third brother, you don't understand, my father is different from his second uncle. He is just a docile donkey. You must obey." It's up to him, otherwise..." Song Qing's tone became a little excited: "Otherwise, the more you resist, the more excited he will be. This is a bloody lesson, you don't understand!"
Looking at Song Qing and Liu Mingzhi who looked sad, they couldn't help but laugh. I didn't expect that Song Yu had such a habit of abusing people. The more he resisted, the more excited he became. Why do I feel weird? Could it be that I am evil?
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his nose and looked at Song Qing curiously: "Brother, when uncle beats you, will he say that you screamed? It's no use even if you scream and break your throat?"
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise: "How do you know? When my eldest brother was beaten when he was a child, he always shouted to your aunt to save me, but your uncle looked at me with a fierce look on his face and always said, "You shout, you shout" No one will come to save you in Potian."
Liu Mingzhi laughed out loud and patted Song Qing's shoulder gently: "Brother, you just have to bear with being such a father to Uncle Tan."
"What can I do if I don't get it? Fortunately, he won't kill him. At most, he will let the elder brother suffer some physical pain. Besides, he has been beaten and beaten over the years and gained experience. How can he be captured without mercy." Song Qing proudly took off his clothes. He pulled out two cotton mats and showed them off in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Look, this is wisdom. Big brother is not a diamond. Sometimes it is inevitable to do some small tricks to protect yourself. This time, it is like Zihui!"
"Yeah, yeah, Zi Hui, big brother, Zi Hui is so nice."
Song Qing balled up the rope in his hand and threw it on the ground. He looked worriedly in the direction of the front hall and said seriously, "This guy is here again! I'm afraid your uncle is in some trouble."
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at Song Qing, who looked worried, and asked softly: "His Royal Highness Prince Qing?"
Qing Wang Li Baihong, the second prince of the Dalong Dynasty, was quick-witted, well-spoken, courteous in dealing with others, without the arrogance of a prince, and always treated his servants with a pleasant manner. He was deeply loved by Emperor Li Zheng, and was regarded by all the civil and military officials in the court. Also highly appreciated.
Exactly like this, many officials in the court avoided him like a tiger. Whenever Prince Qing was present, all civil and military officials shunned him. This was all because of Prince Li Baiyu, who was really entangled with Prince Qing Li Baihong. It inevitably involves the issue of taking sides.
In order for His Highness the Crown Prince to have no doubts about being the leader of the Dalong Dynasty in the future, it is better to keep a distance. Otherwise, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. If there is a little yellow mud stuck on it, it will not be so easy to wipe off. Removed.
All civil and military officials in the court shunned King Qing like a tiger, but King Qing didn't seem to know the reason. Shi Chang visited all civil and military officials with gifts, and used the excuse of asking the ministers for advice. No one could say that His Highness King Qing harbored evil intentions and was trying to compete. The location of the East Palace was suspicious, but anyone with a discerning eye would know what His Highness Prince Qing had planned at a glance. However, Prince Qing came to visit and he really wanted to ask for advice. He never talked about government affairs. Even the imperial censor deliberately avoided this issue and kept silent.
The most important thing was the emperor's intention. The emperor didn't know what his son did every day, but he never asked about it. It seemed that he wanted King Qing to make good friends with all the officials. As for why, only the emperor himself understood.
Since then, King Qing, who had been evasive before, thought he had figured out his father's thoughts, and the visiting officials began to become unscrupulous, arrogantly carrying gifts and handing greeting cards from the main entrance to the officials to see him.
Some officials could not guess the emperor's thoughts, and due to Prince Qing's status, they had to open the front door and respectfully invite him into the palace. In the eyes of those who did not know, this official became synonymous with having a good personal relationship with Prince Qing. , especially Wei Yong, the left prime minister.
Song Qing rubbed the stubble on his chin: "Your uncle, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, is in charge of all military matters in the world. Although there are differences between civil and military matters, although military pay, war horses, weapons, armor and other related matters are allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs, they must be equipped first. That army has always been approved by Your Majesty after your uncle's decision, so the position of Minister of War is the most important among the six departments. The generals are also quite convinced of your uncle's character, so... ..."
Liu Mingzhi took a breath and pointed in a direction: "Would Prince Qing be interested in that position?"
Song Qing rolled his eyes angrily: "Otherwise! His Royal Highness, who lives high in the East Palace and pays homage to the Minister's Mansion, which oversees the affairs of the world's military preparations, will he be the second in command?"
"Surely the Tian family is really ruthless. The emperor is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so they are starting to fight?"
"A chair seems ordinary, just inlaid with gold and silver. It is easy for Prince Qing's family to build such a chair. However, that chair is placed at the highest position in the world. You are A chair made of pure gold, or even hundreds of chairs, cannot be compared to a dragon character."
"Brother is right. Sitting on that chair, one word can determine life or death, one word can determine prosperity or failure. We are all ordinary people. Who can be unmoved."
"Well, every time this guy comes to your door, your uncle will be bored for a while."
"What's the reputation of His Highness Prince Qing?"
Song Qing thought for a while: "Okay, that's great. People in the capital will give a thumbs up when they mention His Highness King Qing. He always treats people with courtesy and doesn't have the slightest hint of arrogance. Even when they meet me, they will give him a thumbs up." We are all brothers and never put on airs."
Liu Mingzhi's face calmed down: "Brother, what you said is too good. No one is perfect. A person who is extremely good will inevitably be a little unreal. Such people are often the most terrifying, with hidden secrets. It’s too deep and makes people feel uneasy.”
"Yes, that's exactly what happened. Every time I dealt with him, I felt frightened. He always wore a mask, which made it difficult for people to see through and understand. I was always thinking, If your uncle was not the Minister of War, and your eldest sister-in-law's natal family was not the Duke of Wu, would he still have a high regard for his eldest brother? Maybe, but he would never be too enthusiastic. Everyone knows that the current Prince Qing is Sima Zhao's heart."
Liu Mingzhi pointed his index finger to the sky: "Who just looked at his wanton behavior and didn't ask a question?"
"Now all the dignitaries in the capital are speculating on that person's thoughts, whether he intends to let His Highness King Qing inspire His Highness the Crown Prince, or whether he intends to let His Highness King Qing replace him, but no one can guess. If the emperor's heart is so easy to figure out, then It’s not called Emperor Xin anymore.”
"My little brother met that master at Dangyang Academy. He seemed to be quite kind."
Song Qing glanced at Liu Mingzhi: "That's because of the existence of Mr. Wenren. If the Ninth Five Lords are kind, how can they control such a big world."
