Qi Jin's expression paused slightly and he glanced at her silently.
Didn't he hear that women like to listen to corners? I am especially interested in romance and things between husband and wife.
Moreover, King Chen and his wife have repeatedly caused trouble for King Zhan and his wife recently. According to common sense, Chu Yunfei should be happy when their husband and wife are at odds.
"My lord is well-informed." Qi Jin coughed slightly, his handsome eyebrows stained with a hint of mockery, "Outsiders say that King Chen is a wise king, broad-minded, gentle and elegant. It turns out that this gentle and tolerant man can actually become angry when he is angry. It’s really impressive to do something to your own wife.”
Chu Yunfei was not surprised. After all, King Chen was a person who used emotions to achieve his goals. He would do anything to achieve his goals, he would not recognize his relatives, and he could even murder his own father.
This kind of person has no bottom line at all.
But she was curious, what caused King Chen to be so angry?
Just now Qi Jin said that the marriage decree was issued last night. Is it possible that King Chen did not achieve his wish?
Chu Yunfei was thoughtful: "Who has the emperor granted marriage to?"
"Dou Shangshu's daughter was given to the seventh prince, the daughter of Inspector Shi was given to the eighth prince, and Miss Qin from the Grand Tutor's Palace was given to the eldest son of Prince Rong." Qi Jin shrugged, his expression somewhat gloating, "Probably The sweetheart was given a marriage to someone else, and King Chen couldn't bear the blow, so he vented his anger on his wife."
Chu Yunfei fell silent, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Miss Qin was assigned to the heir apparent of Prince Rong's palace?
To be honest, she was quite surprised.
After all, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with King Chen and doesn't want to grant him a marriage, he can just pretend that nothing has happened. However, by clearly giving Qin Zhilan a hand in marriage to the eldest son of Prince Rong, he not only slapped Prince Chen in the face, but also did it to the Taifu Palace. Not a knock?
Chu Yunfei asked: "What kind of person is the Crown Prince of Prince Rong's Palace?"
"A frail young man who only cares about studying and doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window."
Chu Yunfei smiled lightly: "That should be a good home, much better than the concubine of King Chen."
This is the emperor's soft hand towards the Taifu Mansion.
Marrying the eldest son of Prince Rong's palace at least does not put your life in danger, but Prince Chen is going to die in the end and must die.
The Prime Minister's Mansion will also be uprooted.
If the emperor really gave Qin Zhilan a marriage to King Chen, it would be the beginning of the decline of the Qin family.
"It's a pity that Prince Chen and Qin Zhilan don't think so." Qi Jin turned to look at Rong Cang, raising his eyebrows slightly, "The situation in the court has been a bit delicate recently. Has the prince noticed anything different from usual?"
Rong Cang said calmly: "I haven't been to court these days."
"The emperor seems to be setting up a game." Qi Jin pretended to be profound, "I'm just not sure what his true intentions are yet."
He could actually guess eighty-nine points.
But the emperor has always had a deep mind, and he is best at using specious deceptions. He usually does not dare to make a conclusion quickly on things that he is not completely sure about.
Although Qi Jin really had a vague feeling that the emperor's arrangement was for Rong Cang's sake, yesterday's flower viewing banquet and the marriage decree in the evening almost trampled the faces of King Chen and Qin Zhilan to pieces.
The emperor seems to be telling them that I know your thoughts, but I won't let you get what you want.
Therefore, the reason why King Chen became furious and out of control was not entirely because of Qin Zhilan, but because he saw Emperor Mu's dissatisfaction with him and his deliberate neglect and difficulty.
This was the truth that really frightened him.
Once a prince loses his Sacred Heart, no matter how talented and famous he is, he will never be able to win the throne.
Coupled with Qianqi's disappearance, King Chen may not be able to eat well and sleep well, and he may be frightened every night.
"Can Fei'er guess what the emperor is planning?" Rong Cang suddenly turned his head and his eyes fell on Chu Yunfei's face, "There will be a reward for guessing correctly."
"It doesn't matter whether you reward me or not, I just like to guess the emperor's heart." Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Qi Jin, "First tell me what happened in the court recently, so that I can make a judgment. in accordance with."
Qi Jin replied: "The emperor neglected Concubine Gu and her son, and asked Uncle Xie Xiaoguo, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to concurrently serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Last time, we were summoned alone to meet the Holy Spirit. The instructions given to me were that we should deal with His Highness the King of War openly and above board, and do not have to worry about speculation and criticism from others. , I haven’t asked about the oral instructions to Uncle Xie Xiaoguo yet, but Mr. Dou, the Minister of Personnel, has something interesting.”
Chu Yunfei said: "The emperor once wanted to give Dou Shangshu's legitimate daughter to Rong Cang as his concubine."
"Yes." Qi Jin nodded slowly, "So I guess the emperor intends to pave the way for His Royal Highness the War King. Uncle Xie Xiaoguo also serves as the Minister of Household Affairs, in order to make the Xie family loyal to the War King."
Chu Yunfei felt that what he said made sense and nodded involuntarily: "Father also gave me an imperial fan that says 'I am here in person'."
Qi Jin was slightly surprised, then curled his lips happily: "It seems that the princess has a good impression on the emperor, and has earned a lot of favor for His Highness the King of War."
Rong Cang sat on the chair behind the desk, sorted out the files, stood up and walked out: "Qi Jin will go back first. Tomorrow morning, I will discuss with my father to see if I can arrange a position for you."
Qi Jin frowned: "If I have an official position, wouldn't I have to go to court with those old men in the future?"
"Since you have chosen to stay in the capital, you naturally have to have something to do." Rong Cang glanced at him and said indifferently, "You can't just hang around every day."
Qi Jin wanted to say that he was not dawdling around, he was busy with business every day.
But then I thought about it, and realized that his main job was actually to do the work that a spy should do, collect intelligence every day, inquire about the latest news from various governments, and deal with the evildoer.
But these are not long-term solutions.
"Why don't you let me go to the censor's station to work." Qi Jin said secretly, "Just be a small censor. I can impeach those treacherous ministers and rebels openly and openly, so that all their shady plots in the dark can be ignored." Escaped form."
Rong Cang did not comment on his words, and simply ordered: "Go and tell the censors first, saying that there has been a lot of commotion in Prince Chen's Mansion recently, and troops were mobilized. I heard that two guards were killed with a stick, so that they can We will impeach him tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Qi Jin nodded, "I have something more important here. Would you like to hear it, Your Majesty?"
Rong Cang was about to hold Chu Yunfei's hand and walk out. Hearing this, he looked at him expressionlessly: "Just say what you want to say."
Qi Jin's mouth twitched: "The Prime Minister sent someone to hand over a note, saying that there was a flood in Shuozhou two months ago, and all the crops were flooded. This year will be another year of no harvest, and there is an urgent need for treasury funding. The Prime Minister probably wants Chen to The king is responsible for this disaster relief."
Rong Cang remained silent and said coldly: "Disaster relief is indeed an excellent opportunity to accumulate political achievements, and you can also successfully put the money allocated by the national treasury into your own private pocket."
"That's what I think too." Qi Jin smiled lightly, "Your Majesty can think of a way to deal with this matter in advance. I won't disturb Your Majesty and His Majesty's breakfast. I will leave for now."
