Why didn't I think of this before?
Yes, I originally thought that my father might be partial to Su Ziji. Even if he had people blow up the water diversion canals and dams of Shun'an Mansion, causing floods to rage, he did not stop his father from wanting to recognize Su Ziji.
But after listening to Wang Sheng's words, I suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with this matter.
The time delay was too coincidental, and my father didn't seem to be such a anxious person. Since my father originally asked Su Ziji to go to Shun'an Mansion, he wanted to see whether the other party was a mule or a horse, so it was unlikely that he would be able to do so. Changed mind for no reason.
Could it be that his father was already disappointed with him, so he planned to support a new royal power to form a balance with other adult princes?
Have you become your father's abandoned son?
Just thinking about it, a surge of anger rushed to his head. He gritted his teeth and walked hastily. At this moment, someone came up in a hurry, whispered something, and handed over the secret message.
"Huh?" Just this sentence made King Qi look a little dazed. He clenched his teeth and read the secret letter carefully. He still wanted to maintain his grace. His hands were trembling a little as he reached for the tea and took a sip. As a result, he drank too quickly and choked. When I swept the teacup, I heard a crackling sound and the teacup shattered.
"Asshole, why are you serving tea? You want to burn me to death?"
"Come here, pull him down and kill him with a stick."
After listening to the order, the two guards couldn't help but pull the maid serving tea down. At first, you could still hear crying, but after a few times, the crying stopped.
In the hall, there was silence. King Qi's eyes turned red and he was panting heavily. His eyes swept over the people present like a wolf, and he paused especially on Wen Xunpeng.
Wen Xunpeng suddenly felt a thump in his heart. King Qi usually tried to win people's hearts by being courteous and virtuous, but he always pretended to be patient. In fact, he was violent in nature, prone to anger and murder.
"Mr. Wen." Sure enough, shaking the secret letter unfolded in his hand, King Qi looked at him with a cold tone the next moment. That look was like looking at a dead person.
"Your Majesty." Wen Xunpeng stood up in a hurry as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Come and see this."
The secret letter handed to King Qi by the person who came in just now was thrown to the ground by King Qi. Under the eyes of others who were worried, gloating or indifferent, Wen Xunpeng had to stand up, bend down and throw the letter to the ground. The secret message was picked up from the ground.
Before reading it, he already had a bad premonition. Now he picked up the letter and unfolded it. The content above made Wen Xunpeng's legs weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
But under the indifferent gaze of King Qi, Wen Xunpeng gritted his teeth and knelt down with a pop.
"My lord, please calm down! I have something to say!"
"you say."
Wen Xunpeng hurriedly explained: "If this plan proposed by my subordinates to the prince is successful, it can indeed kill three birds with one stone. The reason why it failed now is that the people of Shun'an Mansion prevented the embankment from breaking in time. This, This is really because the people who blew up the embankment did not do this well, and it has nothing to do with my subordinates!"
"Mr. Wen, why are you rushing to defend?" King Qi said calmly, but everyone present was familiar with his temperament, and their hearts tightened. The calmer it was, the more he hated him.
Of course King Qi knew that the main reason for the failure of targeting Longnu was not that Wen Xunpeng's strategy was wrong. After all, the explosion of the dam and the diversion channel did bring a raging disaster to Shun'an Mansion. Even if the impact of the flood did not expand, it at least caused the destruction of the homes of thousands of people.
Even King Qi was surprised that the dragon girl could successfully transform into a dragon under such circumstances.
But he couldn't blame the monster or himself for this matter. In addition, Su Ziji's incident made him feel angry even more, so he could only direct his resentment towards Wen Xunpeng, who had made many mistakes before. On the counselor.
"Forget it. Get up." King Qi had been sentenced to death in his heart, but he was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He waved his hand and asked him to step aside, and asked others: "You all tell me, what should we do now? How to deal with this Su Ziji?"
"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to deal with Su Ziji now. The previous attempts have not been successful. I'm afraid it has attracted the attention of the palace." One person said.
Someone else said: "Yes, Your Majesty, given the current situation, we should stay put for the time being and see what the palace plans to do."
Just as he was talking, a eunuch suddenly ran in from outside. This was the eunuch who was recently promoted by King Qi. He had some secret dealings with the people in the palace. He usually kept an eye on the movements of the people in the palace. At this time, he quickly Stepping in made King Qi uneasy again.
Bastard, could it be that misfortunes never come singly? He raised his hand and asked others to stop talking for the time being.
As soon as the eunuch came in, he knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty! The palace has just issued a decree to demote Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel!"
Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel was a person whom King Qi secretly bribed a few years ago. He was very important to him. With this person, King Qi could quietly place some of his own people in various departments and even places without showing off. of cronies.
As a result, just after receiving two bad news, the third news came again. It was still so irritating. King Qi couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and walked back and forth in the hall like a trapped animal. As he walked, he slapped the table hard: "Father, you are beating me, no! You are planning to break my arm and make me retreat completely!"
"I am a legitimate prince, the majestic King of Qi, how can I be inferior to a bastard?!"
"Your Majesty!"
Others were shocked when they heard King Qi say such words in a rage.
Are you so angry that you lose your head? ! If the word "bastard" were to be known to the palace, it would be far more serious than blowing up the dam!
Wang Sheng felt panicked and regretted coming to Prince Qi's Mansion to wade into this muddy water, but it was too late to retreat now. He could only persuade: "Your Majesty, it may not be good for Su Ziji to enter the palace at this time. You have been operating in the capital for many years. , how can Su Ziji, a person who has just emerged, compare?"
"The emperor only allowed him to enter the arena just to make him a whetstone. Please relax. No matter how he obtains the Sacred Heart, he will never be crowned king all at once."
"It's really important. The discussion now is not about entering the genealogy, but directly giving a name and promulgating an imperial edict to the world."
Listening to everyone's persuasion, a man in a light blue robe quietly touched the note in his hand. Someone had given it to him on the road before he came.
At a glance, he recognized the writing on it, and it was Tianji Yao's usual handwriting.
Thinking of the above content, the man didn't speak for now. He watched coldly as King Qi was comforted, and then stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"...Say it!" King Qi blushed and looked back.
"My lord, now is not the time to deal with Su Ziji, but to deal with Su Ziji, you don't necessarily have to take action personally, let alone directly target him!"
"There is a saying in the art of war that if you want to defeat a powerful enemy, you must first cut off your wings."
"Perhaps we are too anxious about Su Ziji's matter." The man rolled his eyes and saw that King Qi had reached the steps, and his expression softened: "You still remember that Cao Yiyan once asked to see you, hoping to get your protection. Since he wanted If he is willing to surrender, let him do some work. Even if he fails to kill me, exterminating Su Zi's party members will be his pledge of surrender."
"If you offend Su Ziji, you must never change your position."
“It’s killing two birds with one stone.”
