Qi Xingchen thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "The Emperor is doing well these days. You know the Emperor is much happier now than he has been in the past twenty years."
The Supreme Emperor is not really good at being an emperor, but he is indeed a...
Romantic, talented.
Being an emperor was too difficult for him.
After going through many things, he has finally put his mind to it. If he doesn't have power, it will be gone. If he can live a few more years, he will be lucky.
Qi Xingchen said with a wry smile on his face: "You know that the Supreme Emperor has also invested in Yang's Trading Company. Now he earns tens of thousands of dollars a month and is famous. How can I put it? The Supreme Emperor's life is more comfortable now than in the past few decades."
When Liu Yu heard this, he also burst into laughter.
What he was most worried about was that something bad would happen to the Supreme Emperor.
But now that I think about it, my worries are actually a bit unnecessary.
One thing to say is that the life of the Supreme Emperor is much better now than in the past.
What day was it when the Supreme Emperor was on the Dragon Throne?
The money in the inner treasury was empty. If he wanted to build a palace, he would have to work hard and save money for several years. He would be pointed at by the courtiers and scolded by the common people.
In the end, even the five-day court meeting and the daily court meeting had to be stopped, otherwise it would be bad news.
Now that the palace has abundant internal funds, the Ministry of Industry even writes to build a palace for the emperor every day, but the emperor is still not happy.
The current Supreme Emperor, following the old calendar, receives a monthly salary, which is enough for him to live a better life than before.
What’s not to like? His status is extremely noble. Who dares to offend the emperor's father?
The more powerful the emperor, the higher and more respected his status.
Moreover, the emperor also lifted his ban, so he can go wherever he wants, and the life should not be too beautiful.
Qi Xingchen saw Liu Yu's expression and said relaxedly: "The Emperor has recently wanted to have a concubine, but the Emperor is not in Beijing, so he is waiting for the Emperor to return to Beijing for the time being."
Liu Yu asked hesitantly: "So, are there any mysterious people in the royal family recently?"
"Yes!" Qi Xingchen said with a sigh.
"Who?" Liu Yu said murderously.
The royal family has caused trouble quite a lot.
King Lu's plan last time was extremely dangerous, not to mention what the failed eldest prince did earlier.
Qi Xingchen sighed and said: "The emperor's younger brother, Qi Xingfu, the eighth son of the Supreme Emperor, is a good couple, and has extensive knowledge and strong memory."
"A few days ago, he was extremely active. He sent out servants one after another and contacted many first-class merchants in Didian. When I found out about it at the time, I punished him and he promised not to contact the merchants in Didian again. Today, Liu Gelao came to visit. , I didn’t expect something really happened.”
"That's stupid."
Daqi had a brother-brother relationship before.
As for the eighth son Qi Xingfu, his brothers are all dying and falling off their horses, but he is known for his literary talent, and an interesting anecdote happened not long ago.
Once Qi Xingfu came across an inscription written by an ancient man. There were about three thousand antiphons in the inscription.
Qi Xingfu made a bet with his friends to read it aloud to see who could memorize more.
His friend recited it aloud and then wrote it silently when he got home. The places he had forgotten were left blank, with only fourteen words missing. He was very proud of it and showed it off to Qi Xingfu's house.
Qi Xingfu filled in the fourteen words at will, and took out the inscription he had silently written, word for word. Friends were amazed and praised him repeatedly.
At that time, Qi Xingfu said very modestly: "Don't praise me for being able to defeat others. There are many who are better than me."
It became a good talk for a while.
Liu Yu had heard about this, but now it seemed that the competition to memorize the inscriptions was just a show.
Its purpose is to pave the way for what you want to do.
"Is it just one person?" Liu Yu said, sitting upright.
Qi Xingchen looked at Liu Yu's appearance and knew that Liu Yu probably knew something. Ning Feng, the current hidden guard commander in the capital, was the one who put down the rebellion when King Lu rebelled.
Liu Yu would also know some of the news that the hidden guards knew.
"There is also Qi Xingzhao, the twelfth son of the Supreme Emperor. Speaking of which, it was the sin that the Supreme Emperor did in the first place."
Qi Xingchen recalled: "When the Supreme Emperor was in poor health, Qi Xingzhao served him day and night, without taking off his clothes or eating meat. The Supreme Emperor made a wish to grant Qi Xingzhao, stating his intention to pray to heaven. Qi Xingzhao paused and cried with joy. "
"Not long ago, Qi Xingzhao went in and out of Qi Xingfu's house many times, and the two of them had a close relationship. This time the military rations are out, it should be these two people."
Liu Yu showed a smile on his face and said, "Thank you so much, King Xian. I'll take my leave then."
"How are Dazai's preparations?" Qi Xingchen stood up and asked carefully.
"Of course he will be brought to justice and sent to Baiyang City in Tongtian River for the emperor to make a decision." Liu Yu said with a smile.
Liu Yu, who just left the mansion, looked back at Prince Xian's Mansion with a straight face.
"Master, shall we go home?" the old housekeeper asked as he pulled the car.
"Go to Shaoyin's Mansion in the capital!" Liu Yu shook his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Li Fansheng, the Shaoyin of the Capital Prefecture, had great power due to Daqi's succession system, which was even greater than the official position of the prefect of the various states.
Moreover, all affairs in Beijing are under his control.
Liu Yu's visit made Li Fansheng a little flattered, but also a little frightened.
This is what happened, and it deserves a visit from the powerful ministers of Daqi.
Liu Yu didn't get out of the car and said to Li Fansheng: "To make a long story short, King Zun and King Wei are going to be arrested tonight. You are responsible for enforcing the curfew in the entire capital city and closing the doors in time. Before you get any news from me, The gate must not be opened for any reason."
There are thirty-three squares in the capital of Daqi, and these squares are separated by square walls, and there are arrow towers and sentry towers on the square walls, which are usually used to monitor fire conditions.
When Taizu was in Qi, many square walls were broken down, and these square walls became markets, and the places where people lived still had square walls.
People in Qi especially like fireworks. They set off fireworks at openings, at weddings, and even at funerals.
This act of lighting fireworks can easily cause fire to Daqi's wooden structure. That's why there are two completely different appearances of Fang and City.
"Here, if Daqi doesn't set a curfew, will they drive people back to their homes now?" Li Fansheng asked doubtfully.
It was an ancestral motto that Daqi did not set a curfew, and it had been implemented for more than a hundred years. There was a period of time in which a curfew was implemented, but later the curfew was lifted due to the spit of the people in the capital.
Liu Yu nodded and said, "There may be a military disaster tonight."
Li Fansheng finally changed his expression and said, "Yes, I will ask the government officials to go out and close the gate."
Liu Yu nodded and looked at Li Fansheng's nervous look, and said with a smile: "It's not a big problem, don't panic."
This sentence brought enough confidence to Li Fansheng. The powerful prime minister in front of him was the person who solved King Lu's rebellion, and this sentence was enough to reassure the people of the capital.
"Go and summon Ma Chao, Minister of War." Liu Yu said to the old housekeeper.
