Qi Dan's notice to He Nan was all written on the crumpled piece of paper. Although the area was not large and the content was not much, it was enough for He Nan to understand all the contents.
In addition to asking him to cooperate with him in taking Fengshan, Qi Dan also conveyed to He Nan the results of the court's or Qi Changgeng's handling of the King of Qin incident.
…………
Let’s go back in time a little further... let’s go back to the twenty-fourth day of the winter lunar month.
Since Qi Changgeng's birthday is on the 24th of May, the court will be suspended for one day on the 24th of every month if there are no important military and political matters, and the princes and princesses in the capital will also gather together in Wugan City, as usual Come and celebrate my father's "monthly birthday".
Of course, the birthday party is not mandatory, because those who really want to be filial will show it on weekdays, and those who don't like these red tapes may not even pass by the palace gate eight times a day. Will take a look inside.
Qi Dan is naturally the latter. Among the seven brothers, he should be the one who comes the least except Qi Jun. Qi Changgeng has twelve birthdays a year and he only behaves himself on the official day of May 24th. The remaining 11 episodes basically depended on his mood.
But on this day, all the children came to Wuguan City in an extremely rare manner - but Qi Jun should be dug out among them.
Saying this does not mean that our Third Prince and His Highness King Qin have already committed suicide. Although Qi Changgeng also regarded Qi Jun's actions as a disaster, he still did not have the heart to kill his son, and instead cut off his title of King of Qin first. In the end, after several departments jointly submitted a letter for discussion, although the third prince saved his life, his power in the capital was completely eliminated. Qi Jun himself was imprisoned in the palace and under surveillance from then on.
Qi Jun himself would never take the initiative to wish his father a happy birthday, but Qi Changgeng did not care about it, which led to today's situation of "planting dogwood everywhere and missing one person".
"Everyone came so neatly today... I'm afraid they all heard about Third Brother." When Qi Dan arrived at Changming Hall, many people were already seated in the room, including those who, like him, did not often come to the palace to celebrate his birthday. The second brother is here - King Qi of Chu is the eldest son of the concubine. Although he has the worst relationship with the prince, he does not have a good look towards Qi Jun, the queen's direct descendant. After all, if the queen caused his "brother" to be stillborn, he The biological mother Pu Fei also suffered from mental and physical illness due to this incident, and she was depressed for several years. The main purpose of coming here today is probably to tell Qi Jun's jokes.
"Is the fifth child here?" Qi Changgeng usually doesn't come over until dinner, so the children have a leisurely afternoon. They don't have to be as formal as in front of their father, and they are responsible for controlling the situation on his behalf before the emperor arrives. The burden of the scene has always fallen on the oldest child. The prince Qi Ji did not often participate in such occasions. After all, his official duties were the busiest among the princes. However, since Qi Changgeng had informed him in advance that he would have something important to say to all his sons and daughters today, Qi Ji took this matter to the next level. Things were taken care of seriously.
Faced with his eldest brother's active greeting, Qi Dan also responded like a good younger brother, but the words his third brother quietly left in his ears that night when the Prince of Qin captured the king were still echoing in his heart.
"Third brother has treated you with utmost benevolence and righteousness. You should think about what to do!"
Of course Qi Dan understood what his third brother meant, but he just didn't know the reason.
Qi Jun's hatred for his eldest brother is inexplicable. Compared with Qi Zhi, who is just having fun, and Qi Dan, who is more ambitious, Qi Jun's purpose seems simple and pure - he wants to bring down the enemy at all costs. As a prince, Qi Ji will do this even if all his hard work is in vain and he works hard to marry someone.
Of course, Qi Dan must make good use of this special "legacy", but he is not in a hurry now, because at least there is a second brother standing in front of him to compete with the eldest brother. He still plays the role of the person who is out and about, as usual. Just play the role of a good brother who is a friendly and respectful brother.
Just when Qi Dan was still calculating in his mind, Chu King Qi Zhi started talking about this matter as expected, with a very strong purpose. Although the target of the attack was Qi Jun, he mainly wanted to talk to his elder brother: "The third child Have you all heard about this? My eldest brother and my third brother and my mother have not mentioned going to Prince Qin’s Mansion to see him?"
Although Qi Zhi is the thinnest among the princes, his personality is extremely irritable, and his speech and behavior are just as the name suggests. He is too lazy to formulate a decent wording at this moment. He blurts it out after thinking of this, which immediately makes him angry. The storm suddenly rose in Changming Hall.
Qi Ji glanced at the second brother but did not immediately accept the move. He should not follow Qi Zhi's temperament to talk about this matter - it was something that his father only wanted to talk about in the evening, but King Yan Qi Hua had already suppressed it. Unable to hold on any longer, he opened his mouth and said, "Second brother usually doesn't come back to the palace every month, but this time he comes back to talk about something big - it's just brotherly gossip."
Even though Qi Hua is a fat man with a big belly and a round waist, and his facial features are squeezed together by the flesh on his face, he looks the least similar to his brothers, but his ability is indeed not small - he works as an agent in the Ministry of Household Affairs to manage soybeans. Warehouse Government Affairs, responsible for warehouse and cashier. Although he is not as good as the second among the brothers, he still has more weight in the court.
Qi Hua and Qi Jun are the best friends. Although Qi Jun's incident is a heinous mistake, they are biological brothers born from the same mother's womb. Even if Qi Jun is deposed now, it is not the turn of Qi Zhi, the idle prince, to point his fingers. He is the one who has never been used to Qi Zhi - although Qi Hua also has some opinions on his eldest brother when it comes to brotherly feud, he is undoubtedly not as strong as the other two brothers, so he can be regarded as defending his eldest brother's position at the moment.
Seeing Qi Hua come forward, Qi Dan's psychological activities were complicated, even with a kind of desolate ridicule - the sons of Qi Changgeng's dragon blood have really learned the essence of Lao Tzu in killing each other. .
"Huh, you're still supporting Lao San so far. I'm afraid you're also working with Lao San to study his poisonous rice seedlings, right?" Qi Zhi also refused to give in, and even tried to drag Qi Dan into the battlefield, who was watching the fire from the other side: " I heard that when the Third Law Division went to investigate, you were there, Fifth Brother? Why don't you tell your brothers what the scene was like?"
Qi Dan shook his head and smiled bitterly. How could he say this? He didn't want to offend anyone on both sides, but he didn't expect that the fire at the city gate would affect Chiyu, and just when he was about to make a break to discuss the topic, a gentle girl's voice attracted everyone's attention to the door.
The second princess under Concubine Lan, Qi Rui, has bright eyes and a voice as fragrant as an oriole. Her intrusion caused all the disturbances in the palace to be suppressed at this moment - after all, these people are all brothers, this point You still need to have some sense of propriety. How unbecoming is it to be noisy and cussing in front of your younger brothers and sisters?
Qi Rui trotted all the way into the palace, followed by two boys, Qi Fu and Qi Xiang, who also charged together. The three of them are all children, the eldest Qi Rui is only sixteen years old, and the youngest Qi Xiang has just turned ten, far from the stage where adults are fighting for power and intrigue, so Qi Rui, who is the second sister, brings two children with her every day. Followers are playing around in the palace - they look like siblings connected by blood.
Qi Rui saluted her brothers one by one and said hello. When she finally reached Qi Rui, she threw herself directly into his arms, with a joyful look on her face: "Fifth brother is back!"
This is not a rare thing. It is surprising that Qi Dan's relationship with women has been good since they were young - they are born with a good face! This girl's first love face is unparalleled in the world. No matter the singer in Xiangsi Pavilion or the daughter of an important minister, they can't help but fall in love with her. Even Queen Guo, who has always been hard-hearted towards the children born to her concubines, loves this young man until I see her. To the extent of pity, it makes sense that Qi Rui likes to hang around Fifth Brother the most.
In fact, in terms of appearance and demeanor, the prince and the king of Qin are not bad, but they are old enough to be Qi Rui's father, and the images of Qi Zhi and Qi Hua can simply stage a "Yunzhandong Wukong" "Take Bajie." If it were you, Qi Rui would be most willing to play with Fifth Brother.
Looking at the clothes of the three children and the objects they were holding, Qi Dan knew that they were imitating soldiers fighting again, and then wiped off the dirt on the side of Qi Rui's face: "Father will be here soon, let him I'm going to get angry again when I see the three of you like this, so hurry up and take them two to clean up."
Qi Rui didn't dare not listen to the fifth brother's words. He smiled, clasped his fists and said "Ok," and then led his two generals to the apse under the care of Gong E.
"Two brothers, what do you say, is it a truce or..." Qi Dan looked at the two brothers who were still at war with each other. Unknowingly, the person talking in the Changming Palace had turned into the fifth prince. .
King Chu and King Yan each turned their heads, snorted lightly, and then stopped talking. However, the atmosphere was still solemn and scary, and the study room was not as lively as the quarrel just now.
"I'm not talking about you men..." Qi Min, the eldest princess born to Concubine Tang, has been watching the fights between the brothers like an invisible person. She has not spoken out until now, but she is qualified to say this. Yes, after all, she was born in the same year as the prince, just a few months later. She is the well-deserved eldest sister of everyone: "I am busy fighting for this and that every day, as if I am such a great person - but what really matters is Things, but they have no eyes to see and no intention to do them.”
"Born in the royal family, I feel qualified to guide the country, but I have forgotten how to walk the road under my feet. I have read so many books, and the teachers are all bachelors from the Imperial College, but I am not as good as those countrymen who have never studied in books. Mr. Nomura knew that brotherhood is as close as lips and teeth.”
"It's okay for you to be fooling around now. If you still act like this in front of your father, you know the consequences."
After saying these words, Qi Min stood up from the chair holding the skirt of her skirt, walked out of the study room, and rushed to the main entrance of Changming Hall without even looking at these brothers: "Still stunned. What are you doing? My father is coming soon, why don't you go out to greet him?"
Some people died, but not completely...
