Thinking

"There are guests in my room, don't disturb them, everything can be served by Li Xiao." Qi Si told the butler before leaving the mansion.

Li Xiao was a subordinate of Lieshan Beizong who followed Qisi on weekdays, and the housekeeper naturally nodded repeatedly, very knowledgeable.

"Sixth brother, it's been a hard trip." Qi Si arrived as scheduled, Wang An ordered someone to serve good tea, and invited Qi Si to sit down.

Qi Si smiled: "This is just the beginning."

"But I don't know that the sixth brother sent a message to meet up as soon as he came back. What's the rush?" Wang An said softly.

Without going around the bush, Qi Si handed the ledger to King An: "Brother Huang, take a look first."

Wang An nodded, took it over and looked through it.

His expression became more and more serious as he looked at it, until finally his brows were wrinkled into a ball.

"Sixth brother... this..."

"Jingzhou embezzled the army's salary privately, and helped King Jia to support private soldiers. It is indeed clear." Qi Si went straight to the point.

King An's expression trembled. He had stood on the doctrine of the mean for a long time. He kept his head in the court, rarely expressed his position, and was almost outside the government. Regardless of whether he had thoughts in his heart or not, he was used to this kind of behavior.Qi Si's words were like a thunderbolt, which left him at a loss for a while.

"Brother Emperor, I just returned to the court, and I have no idea about the affairs in the court, let alone any influence, but this matter is related to the overall situation of the Jin Kingdom, Lu Yingqiu can't intervene, let alone help me." Qi Si was very earnest.

King An's shock hadn't faded away, and Qi Si said again: "Brother Huang has an indifferent temperament and never likes disturbances in the court, but in this case, Brother Huang must help. It's not for me, but for the people of Jin."

Qi Si kept looking straight into Wang An's eyes.

Wang An pondered for a while, and Qi Si didn't urge him any more, but just waited quietly.

"This matter is not trivial, and it has to be carefully decided." Wang An said.

Qi Si breathed a sigh of relief.

King An agrees to come forward, and this matter is much easier to handle. The most difficult thing to think about is his own identity. No matter what, if he directly expresses his position, it will arouse Emperor Hongjia's hesitation. No matter how serious the matter is, Hongjia It is inevitable that Di still will consider the identity of Ji Si first, and then the matter itself.

After discussing with King An for more than an hour, Qi Si returned to Duke Huai's mansion and felt relieved when he saw Yuan Feng in the house: "It's great to see you when I come back."

Yuan Feng let him plunge into his arms and lay still, stretched out his hand to gently caress his back: "Are you done?"

Qi Si sat up straight on his lap, and nodded: "King An is not a person without ideas. He has been suppressed by King Jia for too long, and his patience to hide his strength and bide his time is almost exhausted."

Yuan Feng frowned: "Use King Jia directly?"

Qi Si smiled slyly and shook his head: "Let's sharpen the knife with Mr. Zaifu first."

Qi Si took a look at the letterhead on the desk: "You are not here, the eldest prince has gone through a lot of trouble."

Yuan Feng smiled but said, "He's not my son, and whether he's tossing or not, it's not up to me."

Qi Si laughed loudly after hearing this, and felt a little melancholy after a while: "Can't he be honest for a while? If this trouble starts, you have to leave immediately."

Seeing him laughing and then sad, like a child, Yuan Feng couldn't help but smile softly: "You don't look like a prince at all."

Qi Si smiled: "It's not like this in front of others."

He tossed and tossed at night until he was extremely tired before giving up. When he got up in the morning, he reluctantly rubbed against Yuan Feng's chest for a long time.

"If you don't leave, I won't let you go." Yuan Bing's voice was low and pleasant, and his threatening tone was also gentle.

Only then did Qi Si jump up, with a satisfied face, changed his clothes and went to the meeting.

There were not many things going on at the court meeting, except for the temporary return of Jisi, everything was normal, and at the end, King An handed over a memorial post and evidence: "Zai Fu Lin Yu colluded with the border and embezzled the army's salary privately. , still needs to be thoroughly investigated.”

It was like throwing a thunderbolt in the middle of the court, and after the silence, the pot exploded.

Emperor Hongjia was also surprised, but he still took the booklet and looked through it first.

With a sound of "shua", Zhezi was thrown towards Lin Yu fiercely by the emperor. He didn't say a word, but was shocked by Tianwei.

As expected of Zaifu, Lin Yu didn't change his face, knelt down first, then picked up the booklet and looked at it, but after seeing it, he was speechless.

Lin Yu and Jia Wang brought Qi Si to the northern border, and their methods were thunderous and swift, with no room for buffering at all.This time, Qi Si learned quickly and applied it to them, Lin Yu was unprepared.

If he knew in advance, it might be possible to turn around, but at this moment, Lin Yu also understood what happened.

Firstly, the evidence was conclusive, and secondly, this matter involved King Jia.

Who should be protected between Zaifu and the prince?Of course, Emperor Hongjia chose the latter, and Lin Yu couldn't escape, so he might have to pay for King Jia's share of the crime.

All the ministers in the palace did not dare to kneel down and beg to appease their anger, this is not the time to express their stance.

King Jia seemed to realize something, with a confused and innocent expression on his face, full of shock: "Father, is this serious?"

Emperor Hongjia looked at him, his breathing was a little heavy due to anger, but in the end he didn't answer King Jia.

Qi Si secretly sighed, King Jia is really good at pretending.

"Come here, arrest Lin Yu for trial, and thoroughly investigate this matter!" Emperor Hongjia ordered.

When the Jinwu guards came in from outside the hall, the elephant wat in Lin Yu's hand and the tassel on his head were removed, and he was taken out of the hall again. He remained silent and his face was pale.

Lin Yu, the prime minister, has always been elegant and indifferent, eloquent and eloquent, but today he is unable to refute himself.

No one in the hall talked about it, the impact was too great, and everyone was at a loss.

King An has always kept aloof from the world and never asked about political affairs, but this performance directly dragged the current Zaifu into the prison, which shows that people should not be judged by appearances, let alone offend others at will.

King Jia's fingers turned white from clenching, his face was still pale, but his heart was already in a mess. It was Lin Yu who was impeached by King An, but the point of the arrow clearly brushed against King Jia's veins.

He looked at Wang An, then glanced in the direction of Qi Si.

Qi Si didn't look at him.

The court meeting dispersed, and as expected, Emperor Hongjia summoned Qi Si alone.

"What's going on?" Emperor Hongjia didn't go around much, there was no one else in the hall, Qi Si stood opposite the desk, with a straight figure and a gentleman's appearance.

"There was a battle in the northern border, and it was accidentally discovered that someone in Jingzhou had secretly communicated with Daliang, and General Lu's subordinates found out this along the way." Qi Si replied truthfully, and said very modestly, "I know Due to the difference in status, I dare not intervene in government affairs, and General Lu also considered this, so he asked me to hand over all the evidence to King An."

Only then did Emperor Hongjia's frown lessen. For Qi Si, the most important thing is posture. At any time, one must be clear about one's identity. What you are qualified to do is crossing the line.

"Why don't you just present it to Gu Gu?" Emperor Hongjia's tone was a little slow.

Qi Si showed a somewhat confused expression: "Aren't all affairs in the court to be handled by the court?"

It is always a matter of course to deal with official business. Emperor Hongjia had nothing to say, but instead smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, don't meddle in this matter anymore, let's go along."

Qi Si nodded puzzled.

Emperor Hongjia looked at him and finally sighed: "You child..."

Qi Si's heart moved, but his expression didn't change at all, he lowered his head slightly, very respectful.He knew that Emperor Hongjia was probably thinking of Rui Chu, but in his current situation, Emperor Hongjia often couldn't think of old love.

After dealing with Emperor Hongjia, Qisi returned to Prince Huai's mansion. Although the identity of Prince Huai was fake, it was a place that belonged to him temporarily. Yuan Feng was waiting for him here again, so he felt a sense of belonging and relaxed physically and mentally.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Yuan Feng and Yu Ke sitting opposite each other, accompanied by the butler nervously.

Qi Si smiled and asked the butler to leave without accompanying him, and nodded to Yu Ke: "When did you come?"

Yu Ke got up and came over, looked Qi Si up and down, her delicate eyebrows were full of worry: "I've only been here not long."

Qi Si comforted him: "It's just talking to His Majesty alone, every time I'm left behind, you're terrified."

Yu Ke frowned: "Can I not worry about your current situation?"

Yuan Feng sat there calmly, looked at them, raised his eyebrows slightly, his extremely handsome eyebrows were really dazzling.

Qi Si looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Yuan Feng nodded: "I heard that Prince Jing grew up with you since childhood, and seeing you today is really extraordinary."

Yu Ke's smile was a little cold: "The prince is so kind, and I have admired him for a long time." She turned her head to look at Qi Si, "Why did the steward say that he belongs to you, and his tone is so strange?" He asked again: "The steward said that the prince met with you yesterday. You live in the same room, so there are not enough guest rooms in Prince Huai's residence?"

For some reason, Qi Si was rendered speechless by Yu Ke's series of questions. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yuan Bing...he lives with me, and he is indeed mine."

When Yuan Feng heard this, the corners of his lips curled up, his gray-green eyes were radiant, and he looked at Qi Si with tenderness.

Yu Ke was taken aback for a moment, looked at Qi Si's calm and bright smile, understood the meaning, lowered her eyes for a moment, fell silent, and said, "This...so."

Qi Si slightly tilted his head to look at him: "Hey, you won't ignore me, will you?"

Yu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How come, I'm just a little surprised."

Qi Si laughed, and joked again: "If you ignore me, this Jiangliang City will really have no friends."

Yuan Bing's slender fingers tapped on the edge of the table, and brought up the matter: "What did your Majesty say?"

Qi Si pulled Yu Ke to sit down, and said with a sigh of relief, "I didn't say anything, but Lin Yu didn't run away about this matter. Well, King Jia, without Lin Yu's powerful arm, I will be angry for a while."

Yu Ke asked him: "Why did you ask Brother Dahuang to perform? If he doesn't want to cooperate with you, wouldn't it be a risk? In the future, let me do this kind of thing as much as possible, at least I won't betray you halfway."

Qi Si's heart warmed, and he smiled and said: "These things are always on the tip of the knife. Lu Yingqiu and I can't stay out of it, but you can. Even if it's a gamble, we have to leave a way out. You are our way out."

Yu Ke also understood their intentions, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed softly: "Qisi, I won't let any accident happen to you."

After sending Yu Ke away, Qi Si went back to her room to change into her court clothes. Before she could fasten her belt, she was carried on the couch by Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng leaned forward, with a smile that was not a smile: "I am your man?" He asked meaningfully: "This Prince Jing is very attentive to you, huh?"

Qi Si was a little dazed at first, then smiled, wrapped around Yuan Biao, his clear and moist brows were stained with a bewitching brilliance, and kissed Yuan Biao's pretty bridge of nose: "Brother, are you...jealous?"

I caused the trouble, and I took care of it myself. In the end, Qi Si rubbed against Yuan Feng's chest almost with a crying voice that he couldn't stop, and Yuan Feng was finally satisfied.

Yuan Feng kissed his forehead tenderly, and had to admit that the young man in his arms became more and more attractive day by day, but fortunately only he could see this appearance.

……

The Yushitai, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment were all thrown into overdrive by the big case triggered by Wang An's memorial post. I thought it would be a good time for Emperor Hongjia to protect King Jia again. This case involved The foundation of the country cannot be tolerated, and there is no need to question it when it is investigated.

But in the early morning, Yuan Feng received the report from his subordinates, his expression turned cold, and he handed it to Qi Si, and raised his hand to caress his eyebrows: "This time it's for real."
