Once magnificent, now brilliant

"General Hu? Which General Hu?" Qi Xiang pretended to be stupid.

Probably everyone in Beijing knew about the fraud, so there was no need to pretend. As for the General Hu involved in the middle, it was a letter sent by the fourth prince.He pretended not to know, if Rong Qing hadn't suspected that he was on the side of the Fourth Prince, he would have thought it normal and hadn't made any public announcements about it.If he doubts, he doesn't know anything, which means that the fourth prince and the others never told him, then the matter of being placed and monitored is established, because the fourth prince doesn't regard him as his own at all.As for the possibility that the fourth prince might not know about this option, Qi Xiang directly ruled it out, Rong Qing would know, and the fourth prince was not grounded, how could he not know?

Rong Qing squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and did not express any surprise to Qi Xiang's question, and said: "Hu Mingwu, your father and General Fengbei are military generals of the same period, and they are about the same age. It's better than General Fengbei, and he has no real power in his hands, so he can't do anything."

Qi Xiang was stunned, and then asked: "Is he related to fraud?"

Rong Qing explained the relationship to Qi Xiang, all of which Qi Xiang already knew, it was just a waste of time to listen to it again from Rong Qing.

"Does General Hu admit it?" Qi Xiang asked with a pure and kind face.

"Of course I didn't admit it, that's why I have to investigate. Father gave me this matter, how do you think I should investigate this matter?" Rong Qing naturally knew that this was an opportunity, but the opportunity came too suddenly, and he didn't know where it came from. He started to use his strength, so the first thing he thought of was to find Qi Xiang.

Qi Xiang thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what effect His Highness wants to achieve."

"Of course, try to do more things!" Rong Qing said eagerly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, let's analyze it slowly." Qi Xiang poured tea for him again, "Now the fraud incident first involved Chai Huchang, and then pulled out Peng Liang, and now Peng Liang confessed to Hu Mingwu, and he died If it is not sure which party was responsible for the fraud at the beginning, then Peng Liang was pulled out, obviously pointing at the third prince, but now no one directly identifies the third prince or the leftist, they are still safe. Peng Liang's confession of Hu Mingwu doesn't look like a lie, did Hu Mingwu know which faction he belongs to before?"

Rong Qing shook his head, "I don't know."

"If you don't see who is standing in line, then Peng Liang's ramblings are meaningless, and Hu Mingwu can't do much, and he can't get the people behind him. So I prefer Peng Liang to tell the truth." Qi Xiang was afraid of Rong Rong. Qing Na couldn't understand it, so he said it more carefully, "If it is true, then it is obvious that Hu Mingwu is a party of the Three Princes. Your Highness, Hu Mingwu is a general, no matter whether he has military power or not, as long as he leads troops to fight, he can mobilize the army. This is different from the court debate, which is only supported by literati. It is the participation of military generals. There are too many uncertainties in the process, and it is too dangerous. If the third prince has the support of military generals, the battle for the throne is [-]% sure To say something offensive, if the emperor does not pass the throne to him, he still has the ability to force the palace."

Rong Qing was startled. He also thought that it was not a good thing for the third prince to have anything to do with Hu Mingwu, but he didn't expect to force the palace for the sake of it.But Qi Xiang's words are not false, the people who forced the palace in the past dynasties, relying on family members and generals basically can't get things done, but relying on the orthodox army, there are successful precedents!

"Then what should we do? How can we make the third child lose this support?" Rong Qing not only did not calm down, but became more anxious.

Qi Xiang pushed the teacup an inch towards his hand, Rong Qing subconsciously picked it up and drank it, Qi Xiang said: "Two ways to go, one is to investigate the fraud normally, now that there is no Peng Liang, it may not be easy to investigate, It depends on His Highness's means. The second is to start from other places. After fighting for so many years, Hu Mingwu has always won the hearts of the people? If there is something out of the ordinary or unpopular, is it inconvenient for the people to speak out because of their power? If His Highness can win the hearts of the people, why not They uphold justice, even if there is no cheating, something will happen to Hu Mingwu, and the third prince will naturally lose this powerful support."

Rong Qing suddenly realized, "Exactly! I'll make arrangements right now. If I want to meet you in the future, I will let someone inform you of the place in advance, so you just come quietly. I also know that you may be inconvenient to travel at that time, so I will try to find as little as possible." Do not worry."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding. Your Highness must take care of yourself. This time, I only said one thing.

Probably, you can discuss the specifics with a trustworthy person in order to be comprehensive. "It's done, let the second prince investigate, no matter how stupid the second prince is, he will never let go of such a good opportunity.

Qi Xiang sent the second prince away, but Shi Zhou came out of the house, "It's not the best thing for the emperor to leave this matter to the second prince, but it is the most suitable."

"Yes. I hope he doesn't let us down." The rest of Qi Xiang can't do much, or he doesn't want to do much.He didn't want to participate in this matter positively, it was all an offending matter.

Among the many people who can investigate this matter, the emperor chose the second prince because he also knew that the second prince was weak and would not be easy to cheat. In addition to the prince's status, whether it was fear or flattery, it would always be more convenient to investigate than others .

Originally, the fourth prince was also a good choice, but he has Bai Junyu as a classmate, and Bai Junyu is a military commander. Whether it is suspicious or out of villainy, the emperor will prevent the fourth prince from being manipulated by Bai Junyu and persecuting others with different positions. General, from this point of view, the fourth prince is not suitable.

"Isn't someone watching? What if he is fooled by others again, and the random investigation fails?" Que Shizhou asked.Then Qi Xiang would have wasted so much talking today.

"That's the problem that he can't explain to the emperor. It has nothing to do with me. When it comes to other generals, even if Jun Yu has no other thoughts, he has to pick him and General Feng Bei. The person who sent to watch this matter Once it is exposed, it will cause suspicion, and if it is not done well, it will be fishy, ​​which is not a crime. It is better not to leave hidden dangers."

But Shi Zhou already knew that Qi Xiang's motivation for doing certain things was not with him or the fourth prince, but with Bai Junyu. He would only do things that could pick Bai Junyu clean, or things that had nothing to do with Bai Junyu.

"Yesterday, I felt that he could respond to your wishes, and that it would be a good thing for you to be with you for the rest of your life. But now I feel that he has made the money after all." But Shi Zhou's tone also contained a little more joking meaning.

Qi Xiang smiled without saying a word.

It has been a few days since the move, and Qi Xiang specially chose to move when the sun was about to go down, in order to give the illusion to those who care about it, that moving during the day will be very active, and he had to act out the scene of "forced to move" to the fullest. Perfect ending.Fortunately, he doesn't have many things, so three carriages can handle it.

The wind started to blow in the afternoon, and Bai Junyu pushed Qi Xiang into the room without paying attention when he entered the new house.

The room is very big, with two partitions made of screens, and a mahogany Arhat bed facing the door, on which there is a Kang table with three curved legs, which can be used for eating, playing chess, and writing.There is a Duobaoge placed on both sides of the Arhat bed, because Qi Xiang just moved here today, and there is nothing on it, waiting for Qi Xiang to add it himself.

Inside the screen on the left is the bedroom, with a carved six-poster canopy bed, a chaise longue is placed by the window, and a five-door round-corner cabinet is placed against the wall for Qi Xiang's clothes.

The place behind the screen on the right is relatively small, with a large wooden bucket in the middle, which is a place specially for Qi Xiang to bathe.Bai Junyu also specially asked someone to make a secret door here, so that hot water can be sent in through the secret door and poured directly into the bucket, so that there is no need to go back and forth through the door, and the cold wind is not easy to be poured in frequently, freezing Qi Xiang.

"It's too extravagant." Qi Xiang took off his cloak, and there was a charcoal basin in the room, which was very warm.

Bai Junyu pulled him to sit on the Arhat's bed, "Tell me if you need anything else. I won't take you to the study today, and you can take a walk around tomorrow. Master's yard is next to you, and Pan Butler's is a little Keep it far away, so it’s easier to manage your servants. I’ve picked a few honest ones for you. The place is so big that only Butler Pan can’t take care of it, so just let him have a rest, just be a real housekeeper.”

"Thank you for taking the trouble to arrange it." Qi Xiang was satisfied with being able to tidy up in such a proper way. Even the main courtyard of the previous Qi Mansion was at most such a specification, and the things here are not as many as the main courtyard of Qi Mansion, but the beauty is exquisite.

"I don't dare to take all the credit for this matter. My mother knew that we were together, and she came here to see it in person, and asked people to buy a lot. It was all arranged last night." The money in the middle was also paid by my mother. , He wanted to go out by himself, but was stared back by his mother.In addition, he told his parents about Master, and while her mother was grateful, she cared even more.

"Then I should thank Mrs. Bai face to face."

Mrs. Bai's hard work is also a recognition of him. He is happy, but he can't go to see him right away. After all, it is not rude to prepare a gift. He really doesn't have any suitable ones.

"It's not too late to thank me when my father Xiu Mu eats together." The time was set by Bai Junyu and Que Shizhou, and his family also thought it was appropriate.

"Hmm. What do you like, Mrs. Bai? You can't come empty-handed." Qi Xiang felt that the most important thing in giving a gift is to be appropriate, and the surprise is second.

Bai Junyu couldn't bear Qi Xiang's useless energy on this matter. It's not that he doesn't know what his mother needs and likes. On formal occasions, my mother seldom wears them. Instead, she likes fresh and elegant things. My mother also loves to read, and her handwriting is beautiful, so it’s not difficult to please her in this respect.”

"Understood." With the direction, it will be easy.

Bai Junyu put his forearm on the small table, and looked at Qi Xiang with a half-smile, "I'm busy, so there's no reward for me?"

Qi Xiang rolled her eyes, pointed at him, and then pointed at herself, imitating Bai Junyu's appearance that day, and said, "The relationship is different, shouldn't it be worthwhile?"

"It's what it should be. It's not too much to ask for a reward, right?" Bai Junyu pinched his knuckles, unwilling to let go for a moment.

Qi Xiang chuckled, "Then what do you want? Let me think about it."

Bai Junyu kissed Qi Xiang's finger, smiled and said, "I want to stay here."
