First of all, the number of students in the world is huge, and they need to consume a lot of pen, ink, and paper every year, and the price of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone far exceeds the daily needs of ordinary people.
Secondly, the plan was too labor intensive and was implemented at this juncture. My father was afraid that his purpose would be seen through at a glance, which would be counterproductive.
"If the prince feels that something is wrong, there is another way." Prime Minister Jiang narrowed his eyes, the color in his eyes was dark and unpredictable, "There is a year-round famine in Shuozhou. It was very cold last winter, and there were heavy rains for half a month in February. It's time to Those who were frozen to death were frozen to death, and those who should have been flooded were also flooded. The crops were almost countless, and the people were in famine and were in urgent need of disaster relief from the court."
King Chen looked at him in surprise: "Disaster relief?"
"Yes." Prime Minister Jiang nodded calmly, "Officials in Shuozhou and Liancheng are all members of the Zhao family, but the people behind the scenes are the Gu family. As long as there are reports, disaster relief will be inevitable. When the time comes, the prince Taking the initiative to ask for a job is a political achievement that will be praised by the world."
King Chen nodded slowly: "It just so happens that I take this opportunity to go out for a walk and discuss the next plan with my uncle and the others."
It is inconvenient to talk and discuss things just by exchanging letters every month. There are some things that I dare not say more in letters for fear of being intercepted, which is a big or small crime.
Leaving the imperial city in person might speed up his plan. As long as the Gu family is safe, even if he doesn't have military power, he can still cooperate inside and outside.
The central government controlled the civil servants through the hands of the prime minister, while the officials outside relied on the Gu family to constrain them.
Then secretly buy some bribeable soldiers and horses, quietly approach the imperial city, and then directly trap Rong Cang in the imperial city.
It would be good if his father made him the heir apparent, and he could slowly win over people's hearts after becoming the prince; if his father had other plans in his heart, then he could only let Qianqi take action, control his father with poison, and force him to write a biography. Position edict.
When the time comes, my father should die suddenly.
No drug, no husband.
If you want to ascend to the throne, you have to disown your relatives.
There was a hint of coldness in King Chen's eyes, and his eyes were full of desire for power.
…
The sky is getting darker little by little.
After King Chen finished talking with Prime Minister Jiang, he quickly returned home.
However, one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
As soon as I returned to the main courtyard of the palace, I heard the guard reporting tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Master Qianqi, he is missing!"
What?
King Chen was stunned, and then stared at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Just now, the guards guarding outside Changlefang sent news, saying that... Master Qianqi left the gambling table with a young man to go to the hut. For some reason, he didn't come out. The guards felt that something was wrong, so... They went to the latrine to check, only to find that Master Qianqi was missing. They searched the entire Changlefang, including the first, second and third floors, but they couldn't find him. …”
King Chen's face turned cold little by little, and there was a trace of undetectable panic in his eyes. His angry voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Go and check, check immediately! A bunch of trash! If Qianqi can't be found tonight , you all come to see us with your heads up!"
The guard hurriedly turned and left.
King Chen stared at his fleeing figure, his face gloomy and livid, and he couldn't suppress the burning anger in his heart, damn it!
Damn it!
He closed his eyes, this must be a conspiracy.
Someone knew Qianqi's identity, deliberately made him addicted to the pleasure of winning money, and then found an opportunity when he was unprepared to knock him out and take him away?
who is it?
Rong Cang?
It must be Rong Cang.
He quietly got rid of the poison, and then learned that the person who caused the poison was Qian Qi, so he wanted to take revenge on him, or interrogate him?
This thought flashed through his mind, and King Chen became increasingly restless.
No, he must find a way to solve the current dilemma.
If Rong Cang knew that his father had also been poisoned, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Come here!" King Chen ordered coldly, "Call Han Wu over."
"yes."
After hearing the news, Han Wu, the commander of the guards in the palace, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness."
"Qianqi is missing in Changlefang." King Chen took a deep breath and said without any nonsense, "You arrange a few smart guards to conduct a secret investigation in the alleys and streets in the city. Don't make a big fanfare, and don't alert the officers and soldiers. .”
Han Wu frowned when he heard this: "Your Highness, Lord Qianqi disappeared in Changlefang. This matter is obviously strange. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack -"
"Then what do you think we should do?" King Chen asked angrily, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "He has a special status and cannot see the light. If I send a large number of people out to search, I am afraid that within an hour, my father will be dead." It’s time to send someone to summon me to the palace.”
If it was an ordinary matter of losing someone, of course he could investigate it openly, but how should he explain Qianqi's identity?
"And that young master who is hanging out with Qian Qisi, I want to know who he is!" King Chen gritted his teeth coldly, "When he is found, I will cut him into pieces!"
"yes!"
"First make a secret investigation in the streets and alleys. If there is no news, wait until dark and send a few experts to sneak into Prince Zhan's Mansion to check."
Han Wu's expression changed slightly: "Warring Prince's Mansion?"
King Chen said coldly: "Don't ask so many questions, just do what I ask you to do."
"Yes." Han Wu agreed, but secretly complained in his heart.
Prince Zhan's Mansion is heavily guarded, and His Royal Highness is the God of War who knows how to organize troops. His palace is more tightly guarded than Prince Chen's Mansion and is heavily guarded. How can ordinary guards sneak in so easily?
However, the master has orders, and they dare not disobey them no matter how difficult it is.
Han Wu quickly arranged it.
Within the peaceful imperial city, a turbulent undercurrent has quietly stirred up.
After Han Wu left, King Chen sat alone in the study waiting for news, almost losing his mind while waiting.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been extremely unlucky recently.
One wave after another, nothing went as planned.
If he had military power in his hands, he really wished he could lead his men to force him to the palace right now, and take that position in the most brutal way. From then on, he would kill whoever he wanted with a single call, and see who dared to block his way.
Thinking of this, King Chen waved his hand fiercely and swept away everything on the case. There was a crackling sound, and the official documents, files, pens, inks, papers and inkstones fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye it was a mess again.
