Adviser should be self-improvement

"When I heard from Li Yuexiong that His Highness could not be found, I knew you were here." Xie Fu walked in, took a seat close to him unceremoniously, and folded his clothes, "Now it seems that it is as expected. "

Qin Ce's eyes only glanced at Xie Fu: "When did you come?"

"Just now."

"The door guard didn't come to tell me." Qin Ce smiled, "I'm really slack."

"Because Fu Chang came to walk around my place, those guards are familiar with him." Adding more charcoal, Chu Huaiqing smiled at Xie Fu, "Look at your relaxed face, the money is coming back?"

Qin Ce, who was stopped by the guard: "..."

Xie Fu nodded, with a tired expression on his face: "The servants said that General Wang is not at home, so I guarded the door and sent someone to the yamen prison to borrow a few thieves, and asked them to pick up some sticks from the kitchen of General Wang's house. The half-burnt firewood was placed in the vents of the room, and after a while, the general Wang ran out as if fleeing for his life."

Chu Huaiqing: "..." Cough, the process is not important, as long as the result is right.

Qin Ce didn't seem to be very worried about whether Xie Fu would ask for money: "See?"

"Well, there are at least 15 taels of ready-made silver, and there are quite a lot of literature, poetry and paintings in the house." Xie Fu said, "By the way, he seems to have built a special cellar to store jewelry... Anyway, Your Highness, you Your guess is right."

Chu Huaiqing was just about to ask, but suddenly found that Xie Fu seemed to have no energy, frowned slightly, and said with a soft smile: "But sleepy?"

"A little..." Xie Fu palmed his forehead.

Qin Ce was more straightforward, he pushed open the door and ordered his servants to come over with a basin of charcoal and bedding, and said to Xie Fu, "Go to the back room for a rest."

Xie Fu raised his eyes, and said bravely: "I slept enough last night, why should I sleep now?"

Chu Huaiqing turned her face: "Be obedient."

Xie Fu: "Oh."

Immediately got up, very obediently went to the back room.

Qin Ce: "..."

The servants brought the brazier and quilts after a while, and Chu Huaiqing went in worriedly and dealt with Xie Fu before she came out: "Every time Xie Fu gets tired, he loses his temper. I hope His Highness is not to blame."

"He has taught me for four years anyway, so how could he not know his temperament, and I wouldn't be offended by it." Qin Ce took a sip of his tea, "But it is true that he is getting closer to my husband."

Chu Huaiqing smiled helplessly, followed by another long silence, and finally asked, "What do the doctors Your Highness is looking for?"

Before leaving, Chu Huaiqing only mentioned in the letter that Xie Fu was afraid of the cold, but did not tell Qin Ce the truth, because even ordinary doctors could not cure the ice grass poison that he could do nothing about.It's just that Qin Ce is not a careless person after all, and his dislike of Xie Fu does not mean that Qin Ce has no respect and care in his heart. After discovering the clues, he will definitely find someone to treat Xie Fu.

Qin Ce paused with the hand holding the teacup, and put it on the table: "I have consulted the imperial doctor and the private doctor, and they all said the same thing, and the prescriptions were roughly the same, and they all treated the symptoms but not the root cause. The first few times he also Cooperate, I probably got annoyed later, every time I look for the doctor he hides, it makes me look like a villain."

Chu Huaiqing was a little dumbfounded, and at the same time sighed heavily in her heart: "Really..."

"Sir, have you ever found a way to heal Xie Fu?"

"I found it, but it's useless." Chu Huaiqing shook his head: "It is said that ice grass poison is a poison that no one can cure, and it was the famous medical sage Le Feihan who was famous in the martial arts back then. However, the person who hated the court the most in his life has disappeared for 20 years, so it is still uncertain whether he is still alive, and where can he find it?"

Qin Ce glanced into the back room: "Don't worry, sir, I will find a way."

Naturally, Chu Huaiqing would not give up so easily, but did not continue this topic: "Before, Xie Fu said that your conjecture was correct... what conjecture is it?"

"10 taels of silver is not a small amount. I didn't expect General Wang to take it out at once, but his attitude in recent days has made me change my opinion." Qin Ce said, "I guess he has far more money hidden in private .”

"That's why you asked Xie Fu to investigate the truth?"

"Yes."

Chu Huaiqing suddenly found that the word Qin Ce used was 'hiding' instead of 'corruption', and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "You mean, the money in his hands may not only be his own money?"

"Yes. The frontier will only allocate funds during wars. After passing through the hands of those people, the money that will reach the general king may not be even one-tenth. Unless the general king is keeping these properties for a noble person, otherwise I would not think that the money will Where did it come from?"

"That man has a good idea. Indeed, no one would have thought that there is a huge wealth hidden in this barren frontier." At this point, the truth of the matter gradually became clear, Chu Huaiqing said: "If you want this financial power, you also have this The power can allow the generals to be sent by the king... As far as I know, there are only a few candidates left."

Qin Ce said: "I generally know who they are, but I don't know who they are. In recent years, the emperor has become more and more confused in doing things. After that, he became seriously ill and the court was in turmoil. The prince took over the mess and did not do things neatly It is inevitable that the courtiers have differences in their hearts."

Chu Huaiqing seemed to understand something suddenly, and had to sigh: "This is why the prince insisted on sending you here."

With Qin Ce's character revealed to outsiders, if he encounters corruption by the general Wang, it must be understandable to follow up and investigate thoroughly. The crown prince not only asked Qin Ce to repel the Hulu, but also had doubts about the general Wang and wanted to borrow Qin Ce's hands find out those who intend to make trouble, and then look for opportunities to eliminate them.

"The general Wang issued a military order. In order to save his life, he had to use property that did not belong to him. Afterwards, he will pass on the news to the people behind him." , Thinking about it, they will send someone to assassinate me."

"..." Chu Huaiqing said, "Your Highness, remember to bring your guards with you when you go out in the near future. If not, you can stay at home for a while."

Qin Ce laughed, and was happy that Chu Huaiqing could worry about him: "From the moment I saw the prince, I knew that this expedition would not be easy. Now that things have happened, I am more or less prepared in my heart, and the necessary barracks operations. It is unavoidable to practice, but I will be careful, if I can use this to stay at the border for a little longer, it will not be a loss."

Chu Huaiqing stood up: "Since this is the case, my subordinates will immediately prepare the things on the paper."

"Mr. Lao is here."

"That's right." Chu Huaiqing stopped and said to Qin Ce, "Since you have decided to do it, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about what will happen in the future. As long as you have the heart, everything can be saved."

Qin Ce was taken aback, but couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, Ce Jin follows Mr.'s instruction."

Chu Huaiqing resigned in response.

Qin Ce had less than 20 soldiers, and with the unconquered border soldiers, the total number was only a little over [-], while the crown prince had more than [-] soldiers.

Chu Huaiqing knew that Qin Ce had been hesitating these days, whether to wait for a while, or simply decided to rebel at this chaotic but favorable opportunity, so he didn't discuss it with himself, but went to Xie Fu first.

But Chu Huaiqing won't tell the truth.

Qin Ce's heavy burden alone, and Chu Huaiqing's inadvertent support are the tacit understanding between the two that cannot be explained to outsiders.

"Flood in the Henghe River! Snow in Qingzhou is difficult! Fanyang, Youzhou, Dongdu, Dadu all have uprisings!" The crown prince swung all the memorials on the table to the ground, "Look at this pile of piles. Well, nothing happened before Gu was in charge of the country, once Gu wants to sit in this position, all the others will come! It’s really God’s trouble with Gu, isn’t it!”

The court ladies and eunuchs present were so frightened that they fell to the ground and shouted tremblingly: "Please calm down, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The chief eunuch was taken aback, and lowered his voice in a panic: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you must be careful when you say..."

The prince's movements froze. He is not the emperor yet. It is obviously a big mistake to say this. He glanced at the palace people below with a sullen face, and found that no one dared to raise his head, and the only guilty conscience was gone. : "Gu is the prince, this is an established fact, who can do anything to Gu after saying so?"

The chief eunuch had a shocking expression on his face.

The prince was uncomfortable being seen, and waved his hand in annoyance: "Okay, just pretend you haven't seen or heard anything." Then he looked coldly at the palace servants below, "You too, take care of yourself mouth, who dares to gossip, pay attention to whether his neck is strong or not!"

Thinking of this made him even more impatient, otherwise he would have pulled all these servants out and executed them with a stick, so there was no need to worry about these things.

"Yes, the servant obeys the order!"

Seeing the murderous intent in the prince's eyes, the chief eunuch lowered his head, but no one noticed the sigh in his eyes. Compared with the emperor when he was younger, this prince is really not suitable for governing the country.

What's more, when it's still so tense.

Finally, the crown prince had vented enough, and asked those palace officials to pick up the memorial and put it away again, then slumped on the chair and called out, "Boss Cheng."

"The slave is here." The chief eunuch took a step forward.

"How about the father?"

"Your majesty..." The chief eunuch knew that the prince definitely didn't want to hear something nice when he asked this question, so he answered silently.

As expected, the crown prince was delighted, pretending to be sad on the surface, and said: "In the past, I have seen my father governing the country hard, but I have never experienced such difficulties. I should use this to encourage myself, and I will never let my father worry about the future."

"The prince is extremely filial, if the emperor hears it, he will be very pleased."

This sentence obviously pleased the prince. He picked up the top memorial, took a look at it, and smiled more sincerely: "It's rare that there is someone who doesn't only know how to report bad news. Who said that there are no wise men under Gu's command? Just come here to make a plan for the only one?"

The chief eunuch looked puzzled,

The prince continued to read.

"Let me see, this person's name is... Zhang Zhi."
