"If anything happens to the princess and the prince, I will raise my head to see you." The wild Taoist looked solemn, bowed deeply again, stood up and said.
"Also, now is the time when the bayonet sees red. I will pay close attention to the people in the house. If anyone wavers and defectes, I will definitely deal with them one by one."
Su Ziji nodded and shook his head: "Don't be like this. In fact, it's me who has caused them harm. It's easy to retreat. If I retreat, I'm afraid I'll end up in exile."
"In the past few years, I also have some money on hand. If you arrange it, those who come with me will naturally have to arrange it properly. Those who don't follow me will also be given money to be repatriated." Su Ziji said.
"My lord, what are you talking about? If you are worried about the death of your minister, you will be deprived of the emperor's salary, and you should repay him with your body and bones." However, the wild Taoist was also calm and said loudly: "My lord, at this time, there is no room for mercy."
"Even if the Lord is merciful, he can pay for repatriation after he retreats."
"But if you defect halfway, you will be killed without mercy."
Su Ziji thought for a while, then lowered his head and looked at the courtyard with blurred eyes. This generation of royal palace had been renovated for a year or two, but it looked like it was stained. There were flowers and hedges along the paths, and the chirping of birds could still be heard. , there are many pavilions, pavilions and pavilions on the left and right, which naturally looks like steaming clouds and lush green clouds.
"It's a pity that such wealth and honor can only be achieved by others." Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had actually cultivated the Panlong Mental Technique to the extreme. It was a pity that the time was too short. Even if he increased his magic power day by day, he would not be able to achieve it. Not a lot.
"Give me another five years, no, even three years, it will make a big difference."
"But even so, my advantage is not so easy to get." Su Ziji glanced in the direction of Prince Qi's Mansion in the distance with a dark look.
"Mr. Lu, Cao Yiyan of Yingguo is not good for me, and may be bad for King Qi. Find some clues and expose it to the Imperial City Department. Remember, don't give too much." Su Ziji said calmly.
Is Ying Guo disadvantageous to King Qi?
The wild Taoist knew something about the inside story, and his eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that the lord was going to change things again, and he immediately responded: "I understand, and I will do it immediately."
Su Ziji raised his head and called again, and the little fox came straight to him and pointed: "It will cooperate with you."
With that said, Su Ziji took out five taels of small silver ingots, banged it and threw it into the bag of his small clothes, and then said: "Get ready, go to the palace."
"My dear, thank you!"
In Prince Qi's Mansion, at the top of the incense table, the emperor was standing in front of the famous eunuch Ma Shunde. After reading the contents of the oral edict, Prince Qi, who was kneeling below, immediately showed joy and thanked him loudly.
"Your Majesty, the ground is cold, please get up quickly." Ma Shunde changed his seriousness and smiled all over his face. This smile was much brighter than when he faced the king.
After all, King Qi is now the hottest candidate for heir apparent. The job that he just took away from King Dai is about to take away King Dai's "peaches" in handling the shrine. The future is promising, but isn't it? Time to heat up the stove?
Although Ma Shunde was not ready to take sides among the two kings of Qi and Shu because of this matter, it would not hurt to be more enthusiastic and respectful.
Seeing that King Qi was about to get up, Ma Shunde helped him.
In the past, a prince or prince who had high self-esteem like King Qi would have looked down upon eunuchs, and would not have been happy to let an old eunuch touch him. He would have felt embarrassed, but at this moment, he was completely over it. The old eunuch in front of him felt that he was very handsome and handsome.
The heart in his chest was beating vigorously. King Qi felt that he had endless energy and wished he could pull out a horse and run around the capital a few times.
Even if he had a premonition that his wish would come true, when his father really wanted him to take over the errand of the king and pick the peaches from the king, King Qi could not help but feel elated. This was not about the errands, but meant that under his father In my heart, Dai Wang was still separated by a layer or two.
He is his father's son!
"Eunuch Ma, I'd like you to read out my father's decree this time. Come here!" King Qi had many faults. He was mean and would retaliate, but he had one thing. He was sometimes very generous. He immediately ordered the housekeeper: "Go and get five hundred taels of silver." Ticket, this is for me to invite Eunuch Ma to tea!"
"Oh, then let's thank the prince for the reward." Ma Shunde did not refuse and happily accepted the silver notes. These were the largest one hundred taels of silver notes, and they were the proof that Prince Qi's mansion had deposited real gold and silver in Guanzhuang—— Just cash the ticket when you see it, no problem.
King Qi then asked the housekeeper to send Eunuch Ma out. In a blink of an eye, only his own people were left in the main courtyard. Suddenly, everyone felt like the wind was blowing, and they knelt down in darkness.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"This time I was punished on behalf of the king and was deprived of my errand. I shut myself up and thought about my mistakes, but you got the errand instead. It shows that the emperor still values you, the great king!"
"Your Majesty Hongfu, I will definitely get my wish in the future."
"The King of Shu also has a lot of troubles, but the errands still fall on the King. This shows that in the Emperor's heart, you are not only far more important than the King of Dai, but also more important than the King of Shu."
"Hahahahaha..." King Qi became more and more happy as he listened and couldn't help but laugh.
No wonder he was happy. He had heard that although he took the initiative to make the alliance, this time not only did he want to pick the peaches from the King of Dai, but he also sent the peaches from the King of Shu along with his own. They both got the peaches at the same time. The documents were presented to his father at the same time, and his father finally chose him instead of King Shu. Doesn't this mean that in his eyes, he is much better than King Shu?
How could this not make King Qi feel proud?
Prince Shu's Mansion
In the past, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from time to time in the palace of the King of Shu, especially during lunch and dinner. The King of Shu liked to be arty. He kept many singing girls and dancers at home, and also maintained two theater troupes. When the time came, there would be the sound of elegant music. , let the king of Shu and everyone watch the meal being served, and they enjoyed the meal.
But it was approaching dusk at this time, when the King of Shu usually relaxed. But at this moment, not only was there no sound of silk and bamboo, but even the servants and maids in the mansion were holding their breath and walking as lightly as a civet cat, just because their master was in a bad mood right now. good.
"King Qi actually came out on top!" King Shu put his hands behind his back and looked at the paintings on the wall without saying a word, but his clouded face showed the bad mood at the moment.
Even if he had been mentally prepared, even if he knew that attacking King Dai was the most important thing, the fact that his father gave the job to King Qi still made King Shu's heart sink, feeling bitter and bitter.
"Outsiders think that I am similar to King Qi, but I know it myself. There is always a thin line between King Qi and me. It is not much, but it is a world of difference."
"Hateful, if you put it this way, wouldn't it be a blow to King Dai and help to King Qi?"
The King of Shu was depressed. After hearing the news, the Princess of Shu did not dare to come over at this time. The concubines and concubines of the Prince of Shu wanted to be as honest as possible.
Even the counselor who always liked to advise the King of Shu became quiet at this moment and did not show up immediately.
In the somewhat dull atmosphere, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door.
"You mean, King Ninghe is here?"
The King of Shu frowned slightly. He wanted to ask the butler to invite King Ninghe to come to the flower hall to see him. Before he could say anything, the King of Shu suddenly changed his mind and stood up and said: "It's a rare guest, but he is also my brother. I should." Just go and greet him."
With that said, he greeted him personally.
