The high-ranking officials, princes and nobles of Daqi who were present showed no interest at all in the royal banquet hosted by Guanglu Temple. What was more important was the emperor's attitude today, which made them understand that from now on, the status of the new king of England would be unshakable in the emperor's heart. Although these people also knew that the emperor had done this scene to announce his attitude to the ministers.
But when I thought about it, the master in front of me was in Zhengzhou and killed more than a hundred people without asking for orders. Among them was even a relative of the royal family, plus the title of earl. After those high-ranking officials looked at each other, they all understood that this might be going to change in the future. Some officials with clear minds have even begun to wonder what the British king will do next.
Compared with Da Qi officials who had somewhat complicated thoughts, the foreign envoys attending the meeting were all thinking about what items they should send next to please the future new prince. Our own country can gain more benefits from Daqi. The beauty is sure, and what else can be given to impress this upstart.
At this time, the person with the most complicated thoughts in Hanyuan Palace was Huang Qiong's future father-in-law, the current King of Guilin. The Prince of Guilin, who clearly had a ulterior motive, knew that his future son-in-law might not really know that the Prince of Liang in Northern Liao was visiting Beijing to talk about trade between the two countries. Come and bargain with yourself.
But for some reason, although Huang Qiong's words may have been unintentional, they gave him a bad premonition. Although the King of England is not very old, the city is not very deep and has many methods. In just a few words, the officials in the court who had spent a lot of effort to bribe them began to worry about him.
It even made the Liang King of Northern Liao and the chess piece that he had worked hard to win over in the northwest, and had always hidden, also have doubts about him. Even though he didn't know the true purpose of King Liang's trip. He even didn't know who the secret chess piece in the northwest was that he was trying to win over. But he could just say a few words to make everyone attending this grand meeting suspicious of him.
If it is said that the Guilin County Prince had been on guard against Huang Qiong before, but he was not strong enough. But after this great court meeting, the Guilin County Prince suddenly became tenfold more cautious about his prospective son-in-law. Not only does he act in Beijing, he is even more careful about not speaking out. His contacts with the Liang King of Northern Liao Dynasty also became more and more cautious.
Of course, these things are not what Huang Qiong can understand now. After the meeting, Huang Qiong was summoned directly to Wende Hall by the emperor. After Huang Qiong arrived, the emperor did not hesitate to ask directly what Huang Qiong thought of the Liang King in Northern Liao. After hearing the emperor's question, Huang Qiong said directly without hesitation: "Father, from my observation today, this person is definitely not a drunkard."
"Although this person's face looks full of alcohol and sex. But if you look closely, you can see that the alcohol and sex can't hide the heroic spirit on this person's face. Moreover, this person's mind is extremely sensitive, and his reaction ability is definitely first-rate. . In the face of Er Chen, what seemed to be a joke on the surface was actually what he said. Not only did he keep it tight, but he even used wine to pretend to be drunk in the end.
"In this regard, this person is definitely not as bohemian, drunk and lustful as he appears on the surface. The so-called drunkenness and lust is just a disguise of this person. The real purpose of this person is definitely not to negotiate business with our country. It’s a matter of mutual trade. This person definitely has another purpose in coming to the capital this time. Father, please don’t forget that there are not just those tribute envoys in the capital."
"Now in the capital, there is a mixed situation. This person comes to the capital at this time, and I am afraid that his intentions are not simple. I think that it is the best way to leave this person to the seventh brother to deal with him. The people under the seventh brother, If we ask them to govern the country in peace and kill enemies on the battlefield, that would be a embarrassment to them. If they go to such a place of sensuality and sensuality, there is no problem in keeping an eye on a person."
"Furthermore, Brother Qi looks vulgar on the outside, but in fact he is a flexible and delicate person in nature. He is also a well-known gangster in the capital. He is famous throughout the capital for his drunkenness and lust. We can just give full play to Brother Qi's strengths and use Qi. My brother and his so-called friends are keeping a close eye on Prince Liang. I think that as long as we use the right method, we will be able to find out the true purpose of Prince Liang."
Huang Qiong's words fell. Although the emperor hesitated, he finally nodded: "I can't make a clear decree on this matter. Just go and talk to King Yong. However, although this matter is left to King Yong, , but you can’t let it go. He will deal with it from the front, and you must have a good grasp of the overall situation from behind. You must not let King Yong do anything that is disgraceful to the country. "
Regarding the emperor's uneasiness, Huang Qiong smiled and said nothing more. There was no need for the emperor to order this matter, and Huang Qiong would not let it go. The emperor was worried about King Yong, and Huang Qiong was equally worried about King Yong. It's not that he doesn't believe in King Yong's ability. Huang Qiong believes that with King Yong's personality, as long as he wants to do one thing well, there is absolutely no problem.
Huang Qiong was just worried that King Yong's free-spirited personality would really cause something difficult to deal with. As for my seventh brother, although he is really shrewd, he is still somewhat irritable in character. That Liang Wang was obviously not a good person. If you don't deal with it carefully, you may get bitten back, so it's better to keep an eye on it.
After deciding on this matter, he looked at the emperor who looked tired. It is estimated that with King Yong's temperament, after hearing what he said at the court meeting, it is very likely that Huang Qiong, who had already arrived at his residence at this time, did not stay too much in Wende Hall. After bidding farewell to the emperor, he hurried back to his mansion.
Sure enough, as soon as Huang Qiong returned to the mansion, the first person to greet him was King Yong. When he saw Prince Yong, who was standing at the door of his palace waiting for him, he didn't even change out of his court clothes. He must have come to him after the court meeting. At this time, he was looking at himself with a confused expression on his face. King Yong, Huang Qiong is really dumbfounded.
Despite two days of hard work and drinking a lot of wine today, Huang Qiong was indeed a little tired. Although apart from actually having a few drinks with the Liang Wang from Bei Liao. The rest of them just took a sip as they toasted. But I can't stand it. There are many people attending the imperial meeting today. At this time, Huang Qiong really felt a little drunk.
When he saw King Yong looking at him expectantly, Huang Qiong did not chase anyone away. After bringing King Yong to his study, Huang Qiong was not polite and directly told him what he was going to do for King Yong. After hearing Huang Qiong's words, King Yong couldn't help but be a little stunned. When he came back, he had been thinking about what good thing Huang Qiong said could be?
But he never thought that he would let himself do this. It is not difficult to keep an eye on the Northern Liao Liang King and figure out his every move. My friends are not much worse than Nanbei Zhenfusi in doing this. Moreover, most of my friends are gangsters, and the rest are also black and white characters.
Among them, there are quite a few bosses who work behind the scenes in brothels or watch the scenes inside. Since the King of Liang likes to engage in this kind of style, his friends can just play to their strengths. The problem is that if Prince Liang really has an ulterior motive when he comes to Beijing this time, even if his brothers find out something, they may not understand what it means.
Those people, let them fight and kill, and set traps to deceive people. If it really involves military and national affairs, even if you hear something, you probably know the reason but don't know the reason. To put it bluntly, those gangsters, most of whom couldn't even read a single Chinese character, were really not good at this kind of military affairs. Most of the time, I'm afraid I still have to show up in person.
But I have never even heard of it, let alone participating in such a major military event. In this matter, the only thing I am better than those gangsters is probably literacy. If you leave this kind of thing to yourself, can you really do it well? Will you mess up the same thing? Moreover, since that Liang Wang came to Beijing, he either spent the whole day hanging out with flowers and willows, or was intoxicated and dreamy.
If I wanted to keep an eye on him, wouldn't I have to go to a brothel? Although I was a frequent visitor to that kind of place before, the past is the past and the present is the present. When the tigress who was about to become his princess learned that she had relapsed into her old ways, could she spare her? If this was brought to the government, wouldn't he be embarrassed in the whole capital?
After seeing King Yong listen to what he meant, he looked dumbfounded at first, and then he looked like a deflated ball. Not only did he have a complicated expression on his face, but he also obviously lacked confidence. Huang Qiong didn't say anything to him, but took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Brother Qi, with such an expression, does it mean you have no confidence in yourself, or are you worried that there will be a fire in your backyard?"
Faced with Huang Qiong's question, King Yong took off his head and scratched his scalp habitually and said: "Old Jiu, our old man with an old-fashioned personality and always following the family laws of his ancestors, is this kind of thing? I absolutely can’t think of it. You are the only one who can think of such a damaging move. If you can tell me, you must have obtained the royal approval of the old man.”
"When you recommend your Seventh Brother in front of the old man, you won't dig a hole for your Seventh Brother to jump into. You have to mobilize my friends to stare at that bullshit Prince Liang. There is no problem. But you let me take the lead. Are you afraid that I will mess it up for you when we fight with that Liang Wang? You know, your seventh brother, I have never even heard about those military and state affairs, not to mention that I have been in contact with them before."
"That Liang Wang, even if you meet someone in private, I can find out for you. But I may not really understand what they say. Your seventh brother and I have returned most of the books I have read over the years. Those old men. Also, you know that I am a very frizzy person. If something happens to that Liang Wang, wouldn’t it be an insult to the country?"
Hearing King Yong's answer, Huang Qiong smiled faintly: "Brother Qi, I have confidence in you, but you have no confidence in yourself? In fact, the matter is very simple. It only requires Brother Qi from time to time, in certain situations In a special place, I met the Prince of Liang by chance. There is no need to deliberately establish any friendship, just check who he comes in contact with to see if he is really a prostitute or has other motives."
"Or simply say that it was at that place, when the King of Liang went there. In addition to the seventh brother, there were other officials of the dynasty or some famous people who were also there. As for what he was talking about. , it’s not the point yet. The point is to find out first his true intention of going to that place, or who he wants to meet. As for the other things, you can leave it alone.”
"Brother Qi, this matter is very important. I really don't feel safe leaving it to someone else. In order to protect himself, Brother Qi deliberately created a ridiculous image for himself. This time, he just took advantage of this impression of Brother Qi in the eyes of outsiders. Take a good look at this Prince Liang’s background.”
