Lost Charm

into the night.

Wearing the sedan chair of Sun Lie and the three of them, he swaggered into Prince Jing's mansion, and the passers-by who saw them lowered their heads and covered their smiles. It seems that there will be a new topic to talk about tomorrow.

Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin got out of the sedan chair first, Sun Lie knew the way very well and would roll aside by himself, and his servants stepped forward to lead them to the study.Since their identities became King Jing's staff, whenever King Jing wanted to find them, Du Lei asked Xu Yanfeng to stay with her, saying that they were getting closer to the boy, which would be good for her.Yu Chijiong knew that this was just an excuse, the purpose was to make them feel at ease in making suggestions in Prince Jing's mansion, and he could only say that he was worthy of Prince Jing's woman.

When Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong stepped into the study, King Jing was listening to the arguments of his subordinates. Perhaps he had been arguing for a while, and his eyes were already impatient, but the subordinates who were arguing vigorously did not notice the master's little emotion .

"Mr. Yuchi and Mr. Xu are here." Seeing them, Prince Jing couldn't help showing joy, and interrupted everyone's conversation with one sentence.

"I see you, my lord." Although Prince Jing has long since waived the salutes from his staff, Yu Chijiong still insists on this point. You must be careful when dealing with the royal family. He can waive your salutes on a whim, and then he will also do it when you don't like it. You can be dragged out and beheaded for being disrespectful to the royal family.

Yu Chijiong was like this, Xu Qin was also like this, the two of them were like this every time, King Jing just let them go.

"You don't need to be too polite, sit down quickly." After ordering his servants to serve tea, King Jing said to Yu Chijiong with a smile, "My father didn't get angry. It's really thanks to Mr.'s means. Gu hasn't thanked Mr. well yet."

The rumor that King Jing favored Sun Lie alone was also promoted by Yu Chijiong. He asked Prince Jing for some people, controlled the rumors in the capital, and successfully limited the rumors to gossip instead of criticizing Prince Jing. Words of rebuke.And the biggest gain was that the emperor also gossiped, which they didn't expect, and because of this sentence, the words "does the emperor love Prince Jing the most" began to appear in the court.

The emperor has never shown any special love for anyone, as long as he doesn't move to his dragon seat, to be honest, he turns a blind eye to his son's struggle, after all, he also walked over like this.

Yu Chijiong replied respectfully: "It's the job of the minister to advise the prince, the prince does not need to thank you."

All the aides did not speak, and the blind man could see that King Jing trusted Yu Chijiong very much recently, but he was different from those who offered advice with their mouths.

Xu Qin seldom speaks on these occasions. He and Yu Chijiong have talked about it before. This group of people will fight to the death for the dragon's work. Yuchijiong is confident that he will retreat completely. In order to win a seat among King Jing's staff, it is better to position himself as Yuchijiong's apprentice from the beginning, so as not to cause any trouble.Xu Qin casually glanced at the group of staff, some of them lowered their eyes, some showed disdain, and some looked around curiously... He calmly wrote down the people for future "use".

Although Yu Chijiong didn't say anything, he also saw through the other party's purpose - since he had already brought out the White Deer Incident, he would bring out the embroidered clothes along the way.Most of Yu Chijiong's methods and views are from the perspective of a spy, in order to establish in Prince Jing's mind that he is suitable for this job, and therefore he is out of tune with other people.

The establishment of Xiuyi is not far from the establishment of Mingzhongsuo.

"My lord, I don't know what were we discussing just now?" Xu Qin said, gently bringing back the original topic.

"Didn't Mr. Yuchi come up with a unique opinion before? They have been arguing for so many days, and they haven't finished arguing yet." As soon as Prince Jing said this, everyone knew that he was dissatisfied, and the one who had the most quarreled just now hurriedly shook his head. hang down.

These literati who read the way of sages naturally objected to King Jing's poisonous hands against his brothers, but the shrewd people had long since seen that King Jing's heart was full, and they all shut up and kept silent; The blind man continued to object.

"The crown prince is in charge of most of the forbidden army. Forgive me for saying something bold. The lord has no choice but to support the Xiao family. But now it's no problem to hit the stone with an egg. Right now, the lord should establish his prestige in the court." A gray-haired old man said, Xu Qin remembered that he was Prince Jing's teacher, and he held a high position in Prince Jing's heart. Every time the old man opened his mouth, what he said was almost general.

But this time King Jing obviously didn't want to listen to the old man. He has built up his prestige for many years, and officials are not like this. Going to him, to put it bluntly, building prestige is useless.

Seeing that another quarrel was about to start, Yu Chijiong drank a sip of tea, turned his head to look at Xu Qin, and said in a low voice, "So in this situation, what will you do?"

Xu Qin silently analyzed the situation in his mind. The emperor almost let the prestige of the four sons confront each other. None of them stood out. After returning to Beijing, they couldn’t interfere with the affairs of the military; King Hui made good friends with scholars, but those with high official positions belonged to aristocratic families, how could they choose sides so quickly when family interests were paramount; There will not be too many soldiers in the capital for support, and 500 people is the limit.

It is not difficult to understand why King Jing in history launched the Bailu Incident. He couldn't find a way to break through, so he could only forcibly kick people out.

"Has Xu Qin thought about it?" Yu Chijiong urged again, so he would not admit it. Seeing Xu Qin pretending to be contemplative, the villain in his heart was already tumbling on the spot.

Xu Qin tilted his head thoughtfully, dipped his fingers in the tea water hesitantly, and wrote two words on the table.Yu Chijiong looked up, with a smile on his eyes, he and Xu Qin obviously thought of the same thing.

It's really more and more like embroidered clothes.

"I don't know what Mr. Yuchi and Mr. Xu are talking about?" Everyone focused on the noise in front of them. The actions of Yuchi Jiong and Xu Qin were naturally out of tune with the scene, so some people would ask loudly, implying their dissatisfaction by asking. participate.

Yuchi Jiong smiled lightly, and said: "Just now I said that the crown prince is in charge of the imperial army, I have a plan for this."

Prince Jing immediately said, "Say."

"The prince cannot convince the public because of his lack of military merits. This is a great opportunity for the prince." Yu Chijiong analyzed: "The prince has the support of General Xiao, and the hearts of the soldiers are naturally full of support for the prince. As long as some means are used, the generals of the forbidden army will be quietly Pulling it under the prince's door, no matter how many troops the prince manages, it will be in vain."

Xu Qin lowered his eyes, staring at the two words he just wrote on the table: Instigate rebellion.

"That's a very good statement."

King Jing settled the case with one sentence. Others thought that this was not brother killing, so they all spoke up to support. Credit is also good.

A mockery flashed across Yuchi Jiong's eyes, but he didn't make a sound, and continued drinking tea as if he had nothing to do with the matter before him.Seeing that he was so leisurely, those with good deeds wanted to take the opportunity to get angry, but Yu Chijiong beat him back with a sentence of "doesn't understand military affairs".

Prince Jing glanced at them thoughtfully, just in time to see Yuchijiong's indifferent reply and Xu Qin's smile on the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and let Yuchijiong and Xu Qin go out to rest, and come back later to continue discuss.

The two were ordered by the king to rest, so they left the study without looking back, and let a group of people quarrel on their own.

The corners of Xu Qin's mouth twitched slightly. With such courtiers, it's no wonder that since King Jing, the emperor would reuse embroidered clothes. On the one hand, there was no conclusion after arguing for a long time, and on the other hand, the matter was settled quickly. Normal people also know which side to use.

"What a headache." Yu Chijiong met Sun Lie at the corner, and he also leaned lazily beside the stone pillar, saying, "Now I'm the target of everyone's criticism."

"Isn't this the effect you want?" Sun Lie laughed, with no intention of comforting him at all.

"Why would I like to be criticized in public?" Yu Chijiong said hypocritically, no one knew that Xiuyi liked to confront officials the most.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think?" Sun Lie cleverly brought the topic to Xu Qin. Although Yu Chijiong was always responsible for dealing with outsiders, Sun Lie couldn't see through that Xu Qin was the one in charge.

"He can do whatever he likes." Xu Qin didn't answer directly, and he unconsciously learned how to deal with such obviously trapping questions.

"Oh, so spoiled." Sun Lie couldn't help teasing, his curved eyes were full of smiles.

Although he knew that what Xu Qin said was just a response, Yu Chijiong was still happy. Seeing that Xu Qin turned his head away in embarrassment and his ears turned red uncontrollably, he pulled him behind him to block Sun Lie's playful gaze.

Sun Lie saw Yu Chijiong staring at him like an old hen protecting its cubs, the smile on his lips deepened, but he also changed the subject understandingly.

The three of them talked for a while in a strange posture, and then a servant stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xu, Your Highness is here to invite you."

Yu Chijiong raised his eyebrows, and said to Sun Lie, "I have work to do, so I won't talk about it."

The servant said again: "No, my lord only invites Mr. Xu."

Xu Qin was stunned, the alarm bell in his heart kept ringing, and Yu Chijiong's eyes immediately turned cold, his eyes without warmth seemed to be looking at a dead person.

The servant couldn't believe that a staff member would have such an aura, and realized that this person could not be offended, he said again: "The villain has to be ordered by the prince to invite Mr. Xu to meet in the small study."

The small study is not the one full of people just now.

Sun Lie saw that Yu Chijiong's face was not right, and he understood that any partner who was being targeted by others would not be in a better mood, but they were in Prince Jing's territory, and if they provoked Prince Jing now, they might lose their lives. Push the boat along the water, see walking steps.

At this moment, Xu Qin calmly said, "I see, lead the way."

"Ji Hai!" Yu Chijiong knew that he should control his emotions, but can he be so fucking calm now!He just wants to make Prince Jing a eunuch!He has come to be an aide obviously, how could he still develop into this!

"I'll be fine." Xu Qin smiled faintly at Yu Chijiu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Besides, I believe there must be someone guarding me on the roof, isn't it?"

Yu Chijiong stared at Xu Qin, and said hoarsely after a long time: "...Go, be careful."
