Red makeup against the world

Chapter 763
The apse of Xuanzheng Hall has been arranged as the temporary sleeping hall of Emperor Qinglong.When he was tired of reviewing memorials, or when he didn't want to go to the harem, he rested here.The older he gets, the less he likes to walk.

"You want to see me?"

Emperor Qinglong sat high on the dragon chair, the candlelight cast a shadow on his face, making it difficult to see the expression on his face clearly.

"Yes, my son asked to see his father, and came here for the case of Commander Wu's arrest of his wife."

"She was taken away, so what does it have to do with you? Could it be that you ordered someone to take her away, and then came to act in front of me on purpose?!" Emperor Qinglong was furious, his voice went from low to high, and finally he shouted angrily.

King Qi quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Please calm down, my father, my son will never do such a stupid thing like cutting off his wings."

"Speak." Emperor Qinglong's voice could not hear any emotion.

"Father, please report." Qi Wang said: "Commander Wu came to me specially before going to Jiangnan Road, and entrusted his wife to me."

"He said that he has an intuition that danger is coming, but he doesn't know where the danger will come from. Therefore, he can only make detailed arrangements before leaving."

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Qinglong did not ask King Qi, but Yinglei hidden in the darkness.

The existence of the shadow guards is well known to the government and the public.Even if it was later changed to Xiaoqiwei and acted in front of others, many people still guessed in their hearts that the Shadow Guard still existed.

It's just that the duties on the surface were replaced by the Xiaoqiwei, while the Shadow Guard really became the emperor's shadow, existing only in the dark.

But guesses are guesses, as long as the shadow guard does not reappear in people's vision, the courtiers and nobles can only pretend that it does not exist.

King Qi lay down on the ground, in this warm palace, his back was dripping with cold sweat.

In front of him, his father let the shadow guard show up grandiosely, there are only two possibilities:

One is that she completely believed in herself and intentionally handed over the throne to herself, so she no longer concealed it;

The second is that the father doubted the prince and himself.Once it was found out that he had concealed something about this matter, the Zhan Shifu and allies, all of which came from the power established with the acquiescence of the father, would disappear quietly like a flower in a mirror.

Heavenly power is unpredictable.

Monarch and minister, father and son.He and Emperor Qinglong are fathers and sons first as monarchs and ministers.

Fortunately, fortunately, what I have said are all things that really happened, and there is no deception.

King Qi was secretly glad at this time, and couldn't help being grateful to Fang Shuyu who gave him advice. "Follow the heart" to face the father, instead of guessing and deceiving, there may be unexpected gains.

In the darkness, only the rustling of pages could be heard.

"Your Majesty, on October 21st, Commander Wu will arrive at Prince Qi's Mansion and leave the mansion in an hour." Yinglei's voice came from behind the curtains, and the hall seemed a bit empty.

Emperor Qinglong nodded slightly, although he couldn't see his expression clearly.However, King Qi could feel that the atmosphere was relaxed.He should have initially gained the trust of his father.

"Well, what did you do then?"

"Father, my ministers have sent two guards from Zhan Shi's Mansion to patrol outside Duke Zhong's mansion. Duke Zhong is not aware of this matter."

Emperor Qinglong didn't speak, King Qi went on to say: "Yesterday, Mrs. Zhong Guogong went to the Dabei Temple practice meeting, and took away half of the mansion's staff. To prevent Xiaoxiao, my minister added a team of personal guards. "

After all, Duke Zhong is a foreign minister, and it is rare for him to protect him so wholeheartedly.No way, in this peaceful and prosperous age, send personal guards to be stationed in Zhongguogong's mansion.To do so would cause unwarranted speculation and disputes.

Emperor Qinglong nodded, he did not count as a breach of Wu Zhengxiang's entrustment.The other party set up a series of tricks, even if King Qi sent personal guards to protect Xu Wanzhen, it would not be able to stop her determination to rescue her younger brother.

"Okay, get up and talk. Then you come to see me, what are your plans?"

"Father, even if Commander Wu's wife can't find any traces for a while, the other party has a picture. As long as there is a picture, it will show her feet. I beg my father to issue a secret order to investigate this matter. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes is found , then her safety will naturally be assured."

After hearing these words, Emperor Qinglong believed Qi Wang [-]% to [-]% in his heart.

From this point of view, this matter must not have much to do with King Qi.Wu Zhengxiang has a good eye for seeing people. Since he entrusted King Qi specifically, it is naturally impossible for King Qi to guard against himself.

Since it is not King Qi, it will only be the prince.

A deep disgust flashed in Emperor Qinglong's eyes.As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.How much he loved the prince back then, now he loathes it.

Behind the rebellion case of King Qianyang, there is a faint shadow of the prince and the abandoned princess, which he is not unaware of.It was him who made the shadow guard stop the investigation.

He understood the hatred of the mother and son against him, so he gave them one more chance.

But then, the prince challenged his bottom line again and again.Buying and selling officials, competing for profits with the people, which of these things would a prince of a country do?

For Weiwei's sake, he tolerated it again and again.I always tell myself that this is because the prince is too insecure, so he can't wait to get something in his hands.

When he ascends to the great position, when all this belongs to him, he will naturally not do such a stupid thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall.The prince's almost strict self-discipline and his lack of sexuality made Emperor Qinglong believe that after he succeeded to the throne, he should be a wise emperor.

In particular, with Jing Huan's assistance in the past two years, the prince's behavior has become much more stable.His views on government affairs are also becoming more and more mature.

Just when he was quite relieved and felt that the prince was a good man, he was disappointed again.

First of all, even though the merchants under him are doing mischief in Jinyang County, and then they are blackmailing the wife of an important minister. The intention behind this is really thought-provoking.

"It's almost dawn, so you can rest overnight in the palace. After I leave the court, I'll call you again to talk."

King Qi was overjoyed, kowtowed to the ground and said, "I thank my father for your kindness."

Emperor Qinglong looked at his son lying on the ground indifferently, thinking in his heart, forget it, it might as well be him.

As long as the Cao family is willing to remove the military power, it will become an ordinary government.Without the trouble of his relatives, King Qi is more suitable for this dragon chair than the prince.

Going forward, the Gaomang Dynasty needs a successful king.

……

The third day of the Dabei Temple Dharma Assembly, the second day after Xu Wanzhen disappeared.

In the bleak autumn wind, Duke Zhong's Mansion, which doesn't have a master, looks empty and helpless.

In Zhiyuan Residence, Mother Zheng and Wen Mulan sat opposite each other.

Suddenly, Wen Mulan got up and knelt down, and said, "Nurse, it's because I failed to protect the young lady. I ask you to punish me."

Nanny Zheng hurriedly helped her up, and comforted her gently: "You and I both know the temper of the young lady. Once she decides something, no one can change it. At that time, if you protected Master Yu, you have already done it." Good enough."

Wen Mulan shook her head and said: "If I can deal with the group of people on the boat, the young lady will not be taken away."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Yizhi is here!"
