That young man has superb gambling skills. As long as he teaches him a few tricks, he can make a lot more money than working tirelessly to help King Chen engage in crooked ways, and he doesn't have to bear the risk of beheading.
If he could win for several months in a row, he could save a large amount of money, leave the imperial city, and fly away.
But now he has the leverage in King Chen's hands.
Before he had saved enough money, he could not offend King Chen because he knew better than anyone how ruthless these royal relatives were.
If he breaks up with them, King Chen has a hundred ways to die quietly.
Therefore, he cannot anger King Chen for the time being. After all, he is just a warlock. If King Chen feels that he is of no use, he will only kill and silence him, and will never let him survive in the world.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qian Qi decided to agree first, to temporarily stabilize King Chen, and then think about what to do next.
"Your Majesty should know that poison is such a thing. If you want to plant it without anyone noticing, you must do it when the eggs are in the stage." Qianqi frowned deeply, as if he was a little embarrassed, "But the eggs grow in the body. It will take a long time, even if I really agree to you, can the prince wait until that time?"
King Chen looked worried: "Isn't there a faster way?"
"If we plant the larvae into her body, it will be difficult to do it. Secondly, after being discovered, the King of War will most likely trace me." Qianqi smiled bitterly, with a worried expression, "We have been hiding it for so many years without being discovered. , do you want to expose yourself?"
King Chen gritted his teeth: "Think of a way! You are the best at raising poisonous poisons. Isn't there a feasible way?"
Qian Qi looked gloomy and thought hard for a moment: "I'll go back and think about it. Your Majesty can make an appointment with Chu Yunjiao in the next two days, and I'll give you an answer within three days."
After saying this, he bowed to King Chen, turned around and walked out.
King Chen stared at his leaving figure, feeling gloomy. He sat silently on the chair, thinking about what had happened recently, and slammed the tea cup out!
boom!
The tea cup fell to the wall and shattered, splattering broken porcelain on the floor.
He has been in business for so many years and must not take advantage of others.
"Come here!" King Chen stood up and roared coldly, "Clean up the study."
After leaving these words, he stood up and walked out, ordered someone to prepare the horse, and rode directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the evening, the prime minister had already paid his dues.
When he heard that His Highness King Chen had arrived, he didn't need to think twice to know that it was for the purpose of establishing a heir, so he directly ordered people to take King Chen to the study.
After briefly washing and changing clothes, the Prime Minister arrived in the study.
"Father-in-law." King Chen looked solemn, "Did you hand over the fold I asked you to hand over?"
Prime Minister Jiang nodded: "I handed it over. Not only did I hand over the papers, but I also asked several censors to hand over the papers. Tomorrow morning, the emperor will question the King of War."
The prince secretly communicates with the young master from a foreign family. If someone has found out a few books, the emperor will definitely ask clearly.
When the time comes, he joins forces with several officials to add fuel to the fire, speak more fiercely, and make the situation more serious. Even if the war king cannot be immediately convicted of forming a clique for personal gain, it will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.
In this way, the War King naturally lost his Sacred Heart and could only rely on the Imperial Concubine and King Chen in the future.
Prime Minister Jiang ordered someone to serve tea and then closed the door of the study: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the minister in charge of establishing the crown prince will take care of it for Your Highness and will never let this position fall into the hands of others."
"Thank you, father-in-law." King Chen said, with a bit of hesitation on his face, "I have something I want to discuss with my father-in-law."
"Your Highness, King Chen, please speak."
"I originally wanted to marry Jin Yue to Qi Jin, but Jin Yue has been acting weird recently and angered my father. Now I can't leave the palace to get close to Qi Jin." King Chen looked at Prime Minister Jiang and slowly explained his purpose, " Jiang Qian is not married yet, so I wonder if my father-in-law has a suitable son-in-law in mind?"
After all, Prime Minister Jiang is an old fox who has been immersed in the court for many years. After hearing his words, he immediately understood what he meant.
He frowned slightly: "If His Royal Highness, King Chen, has a good brotherly relationship with the King of War, there is no need to win over generals through marriage at the moment."
Although he submitted the papers to impeach the War King according to King Chen's wishes, privately speaking, he believed that maintaining the brotherhood was more important. As long as he had the support of the War King, he did not need to worry about winning over others.
When King Chen heard this, his expression became gloomy: "Father-in-law, do you think Rong Cang will be willing to support me? He himself is very ambitious and will not support others at all, even his own brother."
Prime Minister Jiang didn't want to argue with him, so he just asked: "So what does King Chen want to do?"
"Marry Jiang Qian to Qi Jin." King Chen didn't beat around the bush anymore, "Zhongyihou has been guarding the border all year round and has military power in his hands. Qi Jin's mother is his father's beloved sister. If the prime minister can marry him, this king will There’s nothing holding you back from sitting in the storage position.”
Prime Minister Jiang pondered: "What has Qi Jin been doing recently?"
"Dazing around." King Chen stood in front of the window, looking at the flowers and trees outside the window, "He went to the Duke Protector's Mansion a few days ago, and I have always been uneasy. If King Yu gets there first, I will only Extremely regretful.”
Prime Minister Jiang shook his head: "Qi Jin should look down on the girl from the Duke Protector's Palace."
"Who knows." King Chen sneered disapprovingly, "The situation is becoming more and more clear now. What King Yu and I lack most is military support. Marquis Zhongyi and the eldest princess are both smart people. They must choose a prince to support them in order to win one. Follow the power of the dragon, otherwise their situation will become dangerous."
How can a general who is not under the control of the king not be in danger?
Prime Minister Jiang had not considered this issue originally.
However, the emperor has already raised the matter of establishing a crown prince in the morning meeting. In the next period of time, the thoughts of the ministers in the court should be focused on the crown prince, so it will not work if they do not consider it.
If King Chen can win the throne, he will definitely not be able to accommodate the King of War after he ascends the throne. The military power in his hands must be handed over, and even the generals he brought out will not survive.
However, Chu State has been facing enemies from both sides for many years, and it cannot do without capable generals. Therefore, Zhongyihou cannot be eliminated and must be won over.
King Chen had this idea, but King Yu may not have this idea.
If they were allowed to take the first step, things would be a little bad.
Prime Minister Jiang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Let me think about this for two days."
