In the Chunjiang Tower of Xicheng, still in that elegant room, Wu Xie was explaining some things in detail to Liu Zhang's stand-in, Le Qi.
Nowadays, Le Qi has been following Gongzi Sheng for a long time. He almost imitates Gongzi Sheng's daily actions and expression changes. When he wears a human skin mask to play Liu Zhang, he can basically make it look like the real thing. However, Liu Zhang's identity has to be changed from scratch. It's fake in the end, it's just a different person playing the part.
Wu Xie explained carefully to Le Qi: "Do you know how to act?"
Le Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Wu, I have firmly remembered everything you told me."
Leqi looked slightly hesitant and asked: "Mr. Wu, if you act like this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your Majesty. Does your Majesty know?"
Wu Xie said: "Don't worry, the young master is very clear about this matter. The young master has given me full power. You can just go and do the errands for the king. Don't ask any questions about the rest."
"promise!"
Wu Xie gave Leqi another reassurance and said, "Leqi, if you accomplish this, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins."
Hearing this, Le Qi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you sir for the generous reward."
After Leqi left, a man dressed as a businessman walked out of the back hall of the elegant room. It was Zhao Chu.
When Wu Xie saw him coming out, he sighed: "Old Zhao, do you think Dong Palace will take the bait?"
Zhao Chu said in a leisurely tone: "The current situation cannot be controlled by them. His Majesty has already consecrated the young master to the title of An Guojun. This has already put a lot of pressure on the East Palace. If the East Palace takes advantage of this matter to completely eliminate Sheng'er, it will be a huge pressure for them." There will be a lot."
"From Dong Gong's point of view, if we defeat Lord Chang Ping completely, we can also prevent Gong Zi Xiu and Gong Zi Sheng from joining forces to deal with Dong Gong. Only in this way, without Sheng'er in the middle, can Gong Zi Xiu and Dong Gong use their full strength. You will fight to the death."
Wu Xie smiled slightly when he heard this, it was nothing. He knew in his heart that Zhao Chu acted like this, and another important reason was to take the opportunity to wash away the identity label of Gongzi Sheng's uncle, and completely eliminate the superficial relationship with Gongzi Sheng. Only in this way can Zhao Cu maintain political neutrality in the dispute over the appointment of the crown prince, and can he calmly and secretly make plans
As long as Gongzi Sheng is still on the stage, everyone in the government and the public will closely stare at Gongzi Sheng and the people around him. Whatever Zhao Chu does, people who are interested will study his purpose, just because he is Gongzi Sheng's uncle. Outsiders will automatically classify him and tie him to the boat of Gongzi Sheng, and he will not be able to do things freely.
A few days later, Le Qi put on Liu Zhang's human skin mask to disguise himself, and under the cover of night, left the Changping Lord's Mansion and headed east.
Along the way, Leqi passed through a dark alley and sneaked to the outer wall of an old-looking house. Leqi carefully inspected the surrounding environment and found no one else.
Seeing that the courtyard wall was low, Le Qi didn't go through the main entrance. He jumped directly into the courtyard. He came to the main room, opened the door to the inner hall and walked straight in. In the dim environment of the room, there was only one oil lamp flickering, illuminating the seats. The expression on the person's face was also uncertain.
He is Xima Qinshao, the prince of the East Palace.
When Qin Shao saw Leqi approaching, his expression changed and he asked: "Liu Jun, let me ask you something. You must answer truthfully."
Le Qi cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin, please tell me everything you know."
Qin Shao asked: "How did you gain Lord Changping's trust? As far as I know, Lord Changping will take you with him whenever something happens. It seems that he doesn't have ordinary trust in you?"
After hearing this, Le Qi smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that Qin Shao didn't know who he was. For such a long time, Dong Gong didn't know whether Liu Zhang might have betrayed the prince and climbed up the ladder. It seemed that he was still a little suspicious of Le Qi. position?
Leqi pretended to be angry and said, "It seems that Lord Qin is not at ease with me?"
Qin Shao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Hey! Where! Since I can send you to Lord Changping's house, of course I have no doubt about your loyalty. It's just that the matter is serious, so I still have to treat you recently in Lord Changping's house. Do you want to have a general understanding of the government’s actions?”
Leqi nodded to express his understanding, and then explained the reason, saying: "Master Qin, I misunderstood you. In fact, I am a little ashamed to have the trust of Lord Changping. Do you still remember the man named Guo who was given to me by Brother Guo?" Xixue’s concubine, right?”
Qin Shao suddenly said: "You didn't give her to Lord Changping to gain his trust?"
Le Qi said with a sad tone: "Yes! Mr. Qin guessed it right. On the surface, Mr. Changping looked like a gentleman, but in fact he was as lustful as life. He met Xixue once by chance and was unforgettable. He has always been there. It suggested that I give this girl to him for fun, I tossed and turned for a long time, and for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince’s great cause, after much deliberation I finally gave this girl to Lord Changping, and then I gained his trust, alas!”
After hearing this, Qin Shao's doubts disappeared from his face, and he quickly comforted him: "Liu Jun, don't worry, as long as you do your best to the prince, there are plenty of women. If you feel aggrieved, I will find some peerless beauties to serve you. You What do you think?"
Le Qi pretended to look sad and said: "I appreciate Qin Darao's kindness. To be honest, I have been getting along with Xixue for a long time and have been in love for a long time. I really can't let go of her. If it hadn't been for this murderous young master Sheng to snatch her love with a knife, , I’m afraid she and I don’t envy mandarin ducks or immortals, hey!”
After Qin Shao heard this, he smiled secretly. Didn't he realize that this boy was still a "single-minded" lover? That's fine. There has been an irreparable rift between Chang Ping Jun and him, and there is no need to worry that he will be attracted to Chang Ping Jun if he stays with him for a long time.
Qin Shao comforted him and said, "Oh! You are still young. A man should put his career first in his life. Don't be so affectionate. If the prince comes to the throne in the future, you will definitely be reused. When the time comes, you will have to be a high-ranking official and ride a horse, like Who is an idle clan master like Mr. Changping? He has no power and no power, so he is not allowed to be manipulated by us? Then with just a few words, won't he obediently give back the woman he took from you with both hands? "
Hearing this, Le Qi said bitterly: "Okay! Lord Qin's words are reasonable. Since Young Master Sheng, a thief like me, dares to rob my woman, don't blame me for being unjust."
Le Qi took out a document from his arms and handed it to Qin Shao. The content of this black document was to the general effect that General Gongzi Sheng in Pingnan was actually a parallel importer who could only mix military merits. The battle in Lingnan was suspected of falsely claiming military merits. Young Master Sheng himself was accidentally defeated and captured by the Nanman. He knelt down at the mountain puppet and recognized Emperor Changsheng as his godfather. He was extorted a million yuan in ransom before he was released by the Nanman, which completely disgraced the court.
After Qin Shao looked at it carefully, his heart moved and he asked, "How do you know so clearly?"
Le Qi said: "Master Qin, when we were fighting against Nan Xia, Liu had been following Lord Chang Ping, so he knew these details."
After hearing this, Qin Shao nodded slightly and said: "False reporting of military exploits has been around since ancient times. It's a serious matter. Recognizing a thief as your father will only make Your Majesty angry. However, it may be difficult to bring down Lord Changping based on this alone."
Leqi reminded Qin Shaodao: "Master Qin, since Lord Xiling's reform, our dynasty has given priority to military merit. Lord Changping wants to establish himself in the court. If he does not have military merit, he will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister. It is difficult to convince the public. This Fan Changpingjun went south. No matter how hard some people tried to whitewash the situation, he was just a defeated general. He was defeated and captured at Lu'an City, causing thousands of Jin army soldiers to be buried in foreign lands. The imperial court not only did not punish him severely, but even sealed him. For General Pingnan? This is simply ridiculous."
"Lord Qin, if this thing works well and the public opinion is strong enough, even if Lord Changping is favored, he still has to worry about the public opinion of the government and the public, right? Isn't that right? His Highness the Crown Prince's situation is already very difficult now, how can it be less Obstacles are good too.”
After Qin Shao listened to the suggestion, he was delighted with Beggar's clear analysis. He was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect Brother Liu Zhang to be so knowledgeable? It's no wonder that he was recommended by Guo Huan.
But how did Qin Shao know that Le Qi's words were basically given to the church by Wu Xie word for word, and Le Qi was only responsible for repeating them.
Qin Shao said: "You're right. If I want to kill this matter, I have to send someone to Lingnan as soon as possible to investigate it carefully."
Leqi said: "Master Qin will understand the truth as long as he goes to investigate carefully. I don't know the details of the mountain puppet. Only Lord Changping was captured at that time, but because of this, we can do something good." The article is inside..."
After Leqi left the hospital, Qin Shao looked down at the dark information about Gongzi Sheng in his hand and fell into deep thought...
