Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 173 The Maple Forest

Qi Ze felt that she slept for a long time, but it was also very comfortable.When I opened my eyes and saw the dazzling sun outside the window, I was stunned for a moment.

When is it already noon the next day?She hasn't gone to morning yet.Qi Ze quickly sat up, put on his clothes and was about to leave.Seeing that there was a basin for bathing inside the door, Qi Ze washed his face, arranged his clothes, and ran outside the door.

Really, she usually wakes up very early, how could she sleep until the sun rises this time?Que Yu didn't send someone to wake her up either. No one dared to do anything to him if he didn't go to court every day. But if she didn't go, she would leave a clue for Qi Chen and the others.

This time, I don't know how the courtiers will write a letter to impeach her.

Looking at the long corridor, Qi Ze quickly flew across it with light work.Fortunately, when Que Yu hugged her, she remembered the route, otherwise she really couldn't find the gate of the palace.

I saw a man dressed in indigo grabbing the edge of the gate of the palace, about to continue walking outside, and then stopped.

Looking at the bustling crowd outside the door, Qi Ze was in a daze for a moment.It's so noisy outside, why is Qin Wang's mansion so quiet, she can sleep until noon.Looking at the sun in the sky, Qi Ze sighed. She had already missed the court time, and it seemed useless for her to be anxious.

Anyway, I have already missed it, and the most important thing is to consider how to prevent those courtiers from impeaching her.Now I can only ask Zheng Shen about Emperor Zhaozheng's reaction to this matter. Although Emperor Zhaozheng would not do anything to her if he wanted a real soldier talisman, he would still demote her and punish her.

And she can only minimize the damage of this matter.

Fortunately, the Ministry of War is on the opposite side, which is convenient.Qi Ze crossed the busy road and came to the military department, only to see Jiang Lu sitting at the door bored.Seeing her coming, Jiang Lu ran over excitedly, "Shao Yi, you're finally here. I'm about to die of boredom. I just finished eating pastries and have nothing to do, so I just wanted to wait for you at the door."

"Wait for me at the door?" Every morning after going to court, she would come to the Ministry of War to sort out official documents.So basically she will be in the military department in the morning, and Jiang Lu often comes to her in the morning.Why was he waiting for her in front of the military department at noon today, but he didn't look anxious? Could it be that Emperor Zhaozheng didn't notice that she didn't go to the morning court?This is impossible.

Qi Ze was thinking about it, and Jiang Yu gave the answer. "That's right, I went to see you today, but Master Shangshu said that you were not feeling well. You didn't go to the morning court, and you didn't come to the Ministry of War. After being examined by the imperial physician of His Highness King Qin, he said that it is not suitable for you to be tired. Your Majesty approved you to rest for a period of time. Morning morning."

"I'm unwell?"

"Well, that's what His Royal Highness King Qin said to His Majesty. I heard His Highness King Qin asked His Majesty to let you rest for a while, and His Majesty also agreed." Jiang Yu nodded.

It turned out that this was what made her so nervous.Emperor Zhaozheng was still willing to give Beishuo the face of King Qin.But what did Que Yu tell Emperor Zhaozheng that she was unwell?Is she in good health? I really don't understand what this man is thinking.

It seems that he can only go to the morning court after a while, otherwise Que Yu will not be able to bear a grudge against him if he, the King of Qin, loses face. This man is the most narrow-minded.But what if she doesn't go to her official business in the morning?Although she slept quite well yesterday, but her official duties have accumulated a lot, okay?
Qi Ze felt a headache for a while, so he could only take the official document back to Fusheng Pavilion.It's much better than accumulating too much later and she has nowhere to start. A minister of the Ministry of War still has a lot of official duties.

Just as he was about to enter the Ministry of War to collect the official documents, he heard Jiang Yu ask: "Shaoyi, I heard from elder brother that you were made things difficult by the Crown Prince of the Western Wei Dynasty in public yesterday. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Qin made a rescue. Is this true?"

Because Jiang Lu's position was relatively low, she was not eligible to attend the banquet. Even when she was in court, Jiang Lu would fish in troubled waters outside the Golden Luan Hall and doze off secretly.

And because of the power and conduct of the Jiang family, everyone knew that Jiang Yu was only temporarily taking over the position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, so they ignored it.Moreover, the position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, is relatively low, and the courtiers really didn't take it seriously, and they didn't bother to impeach him.

Jiang Xun and Jiang Wen had already reminded him of this matter, but Jiang Yu said that he fell asleep when he heard civil and military officials discussing state affairs and speaking polite language, so he couldn't blame him.Jiang Xun also knew what was going on with his son, and now that the battle for the heir apparent was severe, the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College were becoming more and more difficult to manage, so Jiang Xun and Jiang Wen didn't have the time to take care of Jiang Yu anymore.

However, Jiang Yu did not go to the tribute banquet yesterday, and he could only learn about it from Jiang Wen.However, Jiang Wen still concealed something, and did not say that He Lianhao was plotting against her.This incident is indeed embarrassing for a man, but it is really embarrassing for a strong man to bow his head to another man.

Even though she was a woman, she didn't feel so humiliated, but when she thought of Helian Hao's eyes, she felt nauseated and uncomfortable.

"Yes, fortunately he was rescued by His Royal Highness King Qin, and after being treated by the imperial physician of Prince Qin's residence, he is already much better." Qi Ze followed Jiang Lu's words.

"Hmph, the prince of the Western Wei Dynasty is so bad that he dared to make things difficult for the courtiers of Southern Chu." Jiang Yu looked jealous, and then began to praise Que Yu, "Fortunately, Shaoyi, you were rescued by His Royal Highness King Qin, which shows that King Qin Your Highness is still a good man."

good man?Que Yu?Qi Ze couldn't help but think deeply, this man is actually not bad, but he is definitely not a good person either, after all this time he just came to see Nan Chu's good show.

Then I heard Jiang Yu sigh and say: "Unfortunately, he is not as powerful as little general Que. Little general Que has been fighting with the old general of Zhen Guogong since he was a child. Make friends. But His Royal Highness King Qin is not bad, I can make friends with His Royal Highness King Qin, but he is the Prince of Beishuo, so it may be difficult to meet him, let alone submit any friends."

Hearing this, Qi Ze couldn't help thinking.Jiang Yu, you are talking about the same person.But Que Yu might be really busy. After all, there is still Beishuo's affairs, and he probably won't have time to come to her after that, so she is happy to be free.

He was about to enter the Ministry of War, but found that Jiang Yu had been staring at the opposite scenery in a daze, "Jiang Yu, what are you looking at? I'm going in."

"I was looking at Prince Qin's Mansion on the opposite side. Before, I was wondering who was so rich that he could buy the entire street opposite. It turned out to be His Highness King Qin, Shao Yi, he is really rich!" Jiang Yu looked at the plaque on the opposite side of the palace and sighed.

Qi Ze: "..." Que Yu is indeed very rich. After all, the two Chenyue Towers belong to him. If he is not rich, who can be rich?But hearing Jiang Lu put it this way, it always feels weird.

"However, how did His Highness the King of Qin buy a street? Or is it opposite the Ministry of War?" Jiang Yu looked back at Qi Ze and asked in confusion.

"...I don't know, it must be that I have money and have no place to spend it." It seems that there is only one explanation.

"Oh, yes." Jiang Yu nodded and said, "However, it's worth the money, this palace is still very beautiful."

"Pretty?" Qi Ze asked puzzled.

"Well, I saw it closed before, but when Shaoyi came out today, I saw a maple forest planted inside." Jiang Lu turned her head and continued to look at the scenery in the palace, "Such a beautiful maple forest, At first glance, it is carefully selected, and there are no other places in Nanchu."

Qi Ze was stunned, this maple forest is really beautiful, there is such a fiery red maple forest in autumn, there really is no other place in Nanchu, and it is obvious at a glance that it was specially selected.However, Que Yu has high requirements for where he lives, so it is normal to send someone to find these maple forests.

"Since you like it, you can watch here, I'll go in first." After Qi Ze finished speaking, he was about to enter the Ministry of War to collect official documents.

Jiang Yu also turned around quickly, and ran to catch up, "Wait for me, Shao Yi, I'll go in too."

After packing up the official documents, Qi Ze returned to the Fusheng Pavilion with the official documents, and planned to go to court to report on his duties after a while.Taking a break every now and then seems fine these days.

When Qi Ze was reading the official documents, Zhan Shi came over with a plate of snacks, "My lord, I've been reading the official documents for so long, why don't you take a break and have some snacks."

"Okay." Qi Ze casually put down the official document in his hand, anyway, he had almost read it.After watching it all afternoon, I was indeed hungry.

Picking up the snacks on the plate, after eating a few casual mouthfuls, she found that Zhan Shi was always looking at her with a smile on her face, and her soft and beautiful face contained softness and tranquility.

Looking at Zhan Shi's soft and charming face, Qi Ze remembered that Xia Houyan and Xia Houfei also seemed to have such soft and charming looks, which seemed to be the appearance characteristics of Dongteng people.

And Zhan Shi has been following him for a long time, and he should also be homesick, so it's better to send Zhan Shi back to Dongteng after the turmoil of the battle for the throne is over.

"Does Zhan Shi feel homesick?" Qi Ze said as he put down the snacks in his hand.

Zhan Shi didn't seem to expect that Qi Ze would ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled softly: "I will definitely think about home, after all, it is the place where I lived since I was a child."

"Then I'll take you back to Dongteng in a while. After all, I've lived there since I was a child, and I should really miss you." Qi Ze said after taking the words.

"Zhanshi has no relatives in Dongten, so it doesn't matter whether he returns or not." The woman said with lowered eyes.

"Then Zhanshi still has to go back?"

"I won't go back." The charming woman shook her head and said, then raised her head and smiled to look at the cold man opposite, her eyes were as bright as stars, "Because a place with a young master is home."

Facing Zhan Shi like this, Qi Ze was speechless for a while, and said after a while: "Since Zhan Shi doesn't want to go back, then continue to live in Fusheng Pavilion. If you need anything, just ask Zhu Yu Cangzhu and the others, they will help you. "

"Okay." The woman smiled softly.

After Qi Ze finished his snacks, he continued to read the official documents, making judgments about what would happen in the future.Now that the Three Kingdoms are united, I really don't know what Murong Sheng and the others will do. We can only take one step at a time. Murong Sheng must be brought down.

In the building where Southern Chu arranged for foreign envoys to live, a room was firmly guarded by two guards outside the door like iron walls, lest some unsuitable people interrupt the conversation inside.

In the room, three distinguished men were sitting on chairs, and one of them was a mild-looking man with a smile like a spring breeze sitting between the two of them.As if thinking of something, the usually smiling eyes were full of horrific hostility, which shocked the hearts of the two men next to him.

"The two princes have come to Southern Chu now, and I have also held this year's tribute banquet in Southern Chu according to your request, and gave you the money and women you want. Then when will Qi Ze help me get rid of them? Qi Ze already knows about my palace's private raising of troops, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be. If my father finds out, then I don't need to think about the Southern Chu city that the two princes want." Murong Sheng said in his tone. said coldly.

"Hey, what is the crown prince of Nanchu talking about so badly? Of course, I know that the prince has spent a lot of effort in setting up this year's tribute banquet in Nanchu, and also gave it to the woman in Nanchu that I want." He Lianhao Smiling to smooth things over, "Qi Ze Ben Gong also wants to get rid of him immediately, but because of the fact that King Qin of Beishuo disrupts the situation as soon as he comes up, I dare not take action if he wants to. After all, Bei Shuo is not something we can afford."

"And what the Emperor of Southern Chu looks like, so what if we know about it? We have been preparing for a long time, so how can we be easily defeated?" Xia Houyan also continued, "So the matter of the Southern Chu city is easy to talk about, and everything is ready now Now, the arrow is on the string, and we have to launch it. If we stop here, how can Prince Nanchu be willing? Now we are on the same boat, why bother to embarrass our own people?"

"Our own people?" Murong Sheng sneered, his eyes fixed on the two people with ulterior motives in front of him, "I am not your own people, this is just a transaction. You helped me win the throne, what is the matter?" After the completion, I will choose the city for you. We are just a transaction relationship. I am from Southern Chu, and you are really not our own people. I hope the two princes understand in their hearts, and don’t move any small thoughts that should not be moved. "

Looking at Murong Cheng's cold eyes, He Lianhao and Xia Houyan couldn't help but put away their thoughts.As expected of the Crown Prince of Southern Chu, Murong Sheng was indeed difficult to deal with.Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to carve up Nanchu, not to mention splitting Nanchu from now on, and there will be no more Nanchu Kingdom in the future, so Nanchu can also be brought down.

After all, Southern Chu is a country with water villages and a land area larger than Western Wei and Dong Teng. It is a lie in their hearts to say whether they covet it or not.Beishuo and the others didn't dare to provoke him, don't they dare to provoke Nanchu?

So when Murong Sheng asked them to cooperate, they agreed almost without saying a word.Murong Sheng wanted to win the throne, and it happened that they could also get the benefits they wanted. Maybe with a bit of luck, the whole Southern Chu would collapse under their secret planning.

But he never expected that the Prince of Nanchu was not a simple character, he was extremely alert, he knew what they were thinking at a glance, and he could faintly overwhelm them.If it weren't for Murong Xiu's formidable rival, Murong Sheng would be sure to sit on the Southern Chu throne.However, this King of Southern Chu and Jin is indeed difficult to deal with. He has been able to fight against Murong Sheng for many years without losing the slightest bit. Now the two are still evenly matched.

It's no wonder that Murong Sheng took the slant and thought of cooperating with other countries. If such a powerful enemy didn't take the risk, he might really not be able to win.

"The prince of Nanchu should not speak so harshly. Although we belong to different courts, we are now a cooperative relationship. After we cooperate, the throne will be in our hands, right? Now that we are accusing each other, it will make people The enemy took advantage of the loopholes. The most important thing is to guard against that Beishuo King Qin, who is not a simple character at first glance." Xia Houyan smiled and changed the subject, trying his best to ignore Murong Sheng's sharp eyes.

Murong Sheng also knew that Xia Houyan was changing the subject, but what Xia Houyan said was not unreasonable.If the few of them broke up first, and if Murong Xiu went to Emperor Zhaozheng with the evidence of privately raising an army, then he would really have reached the end of his crown prince position.Although Murong Xiu doesn't know this secret yet, but just in case, the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be. Then he is bound to win the throne, how can he let others seize the opportunity?
Now it's better to ease the relationship and let them help him obtain the throne first, and Murong Xiu can take it easy afterwards.But Qi Ze must get rid of him immediately, regardless of whether the real soldier talisman is found by others, and Qi Ze really makes his teeth itch with hatred, sabotaging his plans everywhere, how could he keep this kind of person for himself? Stuck yourself?
Anyway, the soldier talisman has been searched for more than ten years, but there is still no clue.Since it's such a hard-to-find item, don't waste your time on it.If he didn't find it, it would be better to kill this clue, so that no one else could find it.

Moreover, King Qin of Beishuo is indeed very strange, why did he rescue Qi Ze as soon as he came up?The two of them should never communicate with each other.He really didn't dare to provoke Bei Shuo, but he couldn't let Qi Ze go just because of this.This time the king of Qin came to his rescue, so it might not be the case next time.No matter what, Qi Ze had to get rid of him.

"Prince Dongteng is right. King Qin of Beishuo should not be underestimated. We need to be on guard. But King Qin of Beishuo is not our main goal, Murong Xiu and Qi Ze are. If we only focus on guarding against King Qin, it would be putting the cart before the horse. Besides The king of Qin is mysterious and unpredictable, and it's really confusing. As long as King Qin of Beishuo doesn't get involved in this matter, we don't want to waste our energy on him." After thinking for a while, Murong Sheng decided aloud.

King Qin is indeed mysterious, a mask makes it impossible to see through him.Although he saved Qi Ze, he didn't take any action to stop him afterwards, which means he didn't intend to intervene.Although he needs to guard against it, it is really not worth it if he stands still and does not dare to carry out the long-term preparation.

If you want to make a big deal, you have to give it a go. He won't be afraid to make a move just because he is afraid of one person.Even if he can afford to wait, the throne cannot afford to wait.Emperor Zhaozheng is already dying of illness, and the next successor will be revealed soon, and he will not let Murong Xiu win the throne.

He Lianhao and Xia Houyan didn't seem to expect that Murong Sheng would say such a thing, and they didn't fear the existence of Beishuo King Qin at all.But think about it carefully, the emperor of Nanchu is going to die soon, if he doesn't take action, then he will really miss out completely.

At that time, if Murong Xiu has the evidence that Murong Sheng colluded with the enemy country, Murong Sheng will end up miserable. Compared with the unpredictable King Qin, it is really not worth mentioning.How to make a good choice, the Prince of Southern Chu has always understood in his heart.

After this Southern Chu, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to stop!

"Prince Nanchu's words are true. Since there is no way out, why don't we start with Qi Ze first. Qi Ze knows the secret of raising an army privately. The longer he lets it go, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Xia Houyan lowered his eyes. Said.

After all, Murong Sheng had been raising soldiers for the throne for many years, they also knew about this, and they all understood that if this matter were exposed, Murong Sheng would be unable to eat and walk around.So Qi Ze really can't stay.

Murong Sheng also nodded when he heard the words.

But He Lianhao next to him suddenly said: "Then before Qi Ze is eliminated, can I let Bengong have fun first?" He Lianhao showed a wretched smile on his face, "If this kind of demeanor is really casual It would be a pity to die."
