Chen Shi

The shopkeeper's wife counted them one by one: "The first one is Xiang Kuo, a veteran who was entrusted with important tasks to guard the base camp during the old Southwest King's expedition. He is a few years older than the old Southwest King. He suffered from white tiger disease a few years ago. He will be raised at home, and the power in his hands will gradually be transferred to his son. On the day when the news of the Southwest King's serious illness came out, he led people to surround the palace, and wanted to convict Mrs. E of murdering the prince."

Chen Zhi asked curiously: "Then how did Madam E save the danger?"

The shopkeeper's wife said: "The mansion has been surrounded by heavy troops, and there is no news. There is no way to know what happened. There are some rumors in the market. Some say that Mrs. E opened the door and received Xiang Kuo. , and finally talked to the Southwest pillar. The two smiled and wiped out their grievances; some said that when Xiang Kuo entered the door, he saw the Southwest King sitting in front of the screen in high spirits, and asked him if he wanted to rebel? Xiang Kuo was so frightened that he was on the spot Kneel down and beg for mercy. However, the third type is the one with the most nose and eyes. It is said that Mrs. E Guo negotiated a deal with Xiang Kuo. I hope that Xiang Kuo will follow the example and deal with Liang Yun together."

Before asking questions, she explained: "Liang Yun is another person who is dissatisfied with Mrs. E. He was originally the old Southwest King's pen. After the old Southwest King passed away, he tried his best to show his loyalty to the Southwest King and exclude The dissident was finally accepted as a confidant. Because of his close relationship with the princes of the palace, after a few years, he surpassed a group of veterans and became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The King of Southwest has no three princes or prime ministers, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is already the first in front of him. A first-class celebrity."

Chen Zhi had been emperor for a few years at any rate, and his way of life... was clear.

This is a battle between civil and military.

Liang Yun felt that he was the head of the civil servants, and it was his turn to pass the word to the mouth.Xiang Kuo's qualifications are here, and it is a time of war when the army is overwhelming, so he must handle military affairs by himself.

But when two tigers fight, one will be injured.

If Mrs. E Guo seizes this to make a fuss, she can get a moment of peace.

Looking up and down the southwest, sharpening knives, it is obvious that the generals and the main fighters have the upper hand. We can see why the shopkeeper's wife thinks the third is more credible.

The shopkeeper’s wife suggested: “A few days ago, Xiang Kuo’s son, Xiang Mu, met Linghuqi, a household doctor, and the two had a dispute. Linghuqi’s legs were broken. The Minister of the Ministry went. Not long after, he went to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Unexpectedly, Liang Yun closed the door to thank the guests, obviously he did not want to meddle in other people's affairs. If you want to start, you can start with him."

Although the name Linghuqi was unfamiliar, it was somewhat familiar to Hubu Langzhong.

Chen Zhilue thought for a while, and then remembered the incident of Xiantong "selling out his looks".Huang Guizhong predicted that the apprentice who molested Chen Xuanxiang's male pamper was not the household doctor?

This person didn't know what evil he did in his previous life, and in this life he was always hovering between death and bad luck, unable to extricate himself.

The shopkeeper's wife knew that the two must have something to discuss, so she thoughtfully left the room to them.Before leaving, he also gave a book, which analyzed the distribution of Southwest forces in detail. Just the names alone listed twenty or so pages.

Chen Zhi was amazed: "When did you arrange these manpower?" Wracking his fingers, he was full of calculations. If Rong Yun laid the groundwork, he must have become an old fox when he was three years old.

Rong Yun said: "These people were originally brought as dowry by my grandfather because he was afraid that my mother would marry far away and be bullied by my father. Unexpectedly, my mother sent them away halfway. At that time, she made up a nonsense excuse, saying that the king of Southwest was ambitious. Sooner or later, I will get involved in the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy."

Chen Zhi said: "I think your mother is far-sighted, and she just said that because she was afraid that your father would be worried."

Rong Yun stared at him and smiled.

Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows: "What are you laughing at?"

"Although you and my mother have never met, you are a rare confidant."

"It's a pity that you were born."

"..." Rong Yun forcibly explained, "Together, it is naturally better to complement each other."

Chen Zhi said: "That's true. Master and apprentice, one always orders and the other is ordered."

Rong Yun said: "If it is Master, I would be willing to be used for the rest of my life." After a pause, with a bit of sadness and melancholy, she said quietly, "It's just that this life is over, it's too short."

Chen Zhi pretended not to understand his implication, got up and walked to the window, pretending to look at the potted plants, and waited for the sound of tea being poured from behind, then turned around and said, "Who are you planning to deal with?"

Rong Yun said: "It's easy to start with Linghu Qi, but this person's comments are lustful and timid, and I'm afraid it won't work. But the Minister of the Household Department..."

Chen Zhi blurted out, "Fang Bojian?"

Rong Yun's hands pouring tea paused, and then she put down the teapot: "Fang Bojian was promoted to Shangshu not long ago, but Master has already found out, the news is really well-informed."

Chen Zhi said, "It's nothing, I just pay attention to him."

The smile on Rong Yun's face couldn't hold anymore, she looked up at him.

Chen Zhidao: "Isn't that what you think?"

Rong Yun said, "Isn't it?"

Chen Zhi thought about the reason for explaining, it was really a long waste of saliva, and said, "Yes."

Rong Yun suddenly smiled: "Master said so, I feel relieved."

Chen Zhi: "..." The three-in-one young man Rong, don't guess what's on his mind.

Rong Yun said: "I guess Huang Tianya has assigned some other tasks? Could it be that this Minister of the Household Department has an undisclosed identity? Or, he will have a major impact on the future situation of the world?"

Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away.

Huang Guishang said that the road that Fang Bojian took was the road that he followed the Southwest King to enter the cabinet and pay homage to his prime minister.It's just that Chen Xuanxiang has already died in Jiuquan...

Chen Zhi suddenly felt a strange feeling.

In order to make Fang Bojian the Minister of the Household Department and support Chen Xuanxiang, Jie Wucai sent a mission to pretend to be a male favorite concubine.It can be seen that Chen Xuanxiang shouldn't die so hastily and easily according to the order of heaven.

Even small details are exquisite, but the general direction is arbitrary?

The more Chen Zhi thought about it, the more weird he felt, his face unconsciously showed a bit of solemnity.If it wasn't for Chen Xuanxiang's sudden incident, he would have been on the battlefield of gods and demons at this moment.

I don't know what's going on there.

The forehead was lightly touched, and before he could dodge, the other party withdrew his hand.

Rong Yun rested her cheek on one hand and looked at Chen Zhi: "Master has something on his mind, just tell me. Even if I can't help, I can... Tell Master a joke."

Chen Zhi said, "Oh, tell me a joke and listen to it."

Rong Yun came as soon as she said it: "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and a pair of master and apprentice lived on the mountain. One day the master said to the apprentice, from now on, you will no longer be my apprentice. The apprentice was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and asked, Master Master, you finally agreed to marry me...Master, the whip is rough and easy to hurt your hands, if you want to hit me, just throw it with a stool or a table, never use a whip."

Chen Zhi sneered: "I want to use a whip, so what?"

Rong Yun sighed: "Master insists on this, and the apprentice has nothing to say. However, if the master is hurt somewhere, I must give the apprentice one as usual. It can be regarded as our master and apprentice are of one mind."

Chen Zhi thought to himself: If I can still send one, do I still need to use myself as a threat?

Since Fang Bojian was set as the target, Rong Yun asked the shopkeeper's wife to track down his whereabouts.

Chen Zhi recalled that before the King of Southwest sent troops, Wu Jiu had warned Tan Shu through Tan Shu, whether it was for an extra way out, to be a fool on the wall, or to "reform evil and return to righteousness" sincerely, it was still half a pawn.He and Fang Bojian belonged to a family in the south of the Yangtze River, even if they had no relationship, they would still pay attention to each other on weekdays, so it was best to find him.

Although Wu Jiu is one of the male favorites of the Southwest King, he doesn't live in the palace, but owns a separate courtyard.In name, it is respect for him, but in fact, the money for buying a house is still included in the "dowry".

Rong Yun wrote a letter in her own hand, which fell into Wu Jiu's hands after "turning around".The letter asked him to persuade Mrs. E to abandon the city and surrender.

It makes sense to write this way.Those who don't know the inside story only know that Mrs. E has monopolized the power. Only when they arrived in Guangzhou did they know that there was another person behind Mrs. E.Rong Yun is to cover up his whereabouts.

Three hours later, Wu Jiu delivered a letter in the barrel agreed by Rong Yun.

Rong Yun didn't go to get the letter, but stood on the upper floor of the restaurant not far away. After watching for an hour, the wooden barrel ignited spontaneously, leaving no paper left.Afterwards, he stood again, seeing that no one was paying attention to the barrel, he turned and left.

Later, Chen Zhiye visited the other courtyard.

Wu Jiu was sitting in the courtyard, drinking and drawing.

Chen Zhi jumped from the eaves to the treetops, changed several angles, and finally saw the content of the painting - it was a gentle woman.Chen Zhi met her once, but unfortunately, it was also a forever farewell.

Thinking of the child she left behind with all her might, not only did she lose her mother, but her father blatantly married another man, and she didn't know how the Wu family would explain it to him in the future.

After Wu Jiu finished painting his dead wife, he stared at it for a while, put away the painting, and set it on fire in the brazier.

Chen Zhi got down from the tree and walked behind him.

Wu Jiu suddenly turned around, and took three steps back in fright: "You, you...how did you come in?"

Chen Zhi said, "It flew in."

Wu Jiu collected himself and stood firm: "Chen Xianren came to visit late at night, why did you come?"

Chen Zhi said, "I would like to ask Mr. Wu to be a lobbyist."

Wu Jiu frowned: "I made it clear in the letter. Mrs. E Guo is just a puppet and has no power to influence the current situation. If the immortal puts his mind on her, he will be disappointed."

Chen Zhi said: "Young Master Wu is right, so I have another candidate."

Wu Jiu laughed at herself and said, "I'm telling you the truth. Ever since my lord got seriously ill, I've become a lonely ghost in Guangzhou. No one can see me."

Chen Zhi said: "Mr. Wu, why don't you listen to this person's name before making a conclusion."

Although Wu Jiu said "please speak", her expression was still disapproving.

"The person I asked Mr. Wu to lobby for is the young mistress of the Fang family."
