Chapter 812 Thanks to Jincheng, gaining trust
But this time it came out, which is unavoidably shocking.

This Shaoqing of Dali Temple was born in the imperial examination, was a Qingliu in the Imperial Academy, and was a disciple of Cui Hao's opponent Yang Gelao, so he reported this matter to the emperor.

The emperor was originally ill, and when he saw such a memorial, he was naturally furious, and demanded a thorough investigation and strict punishment.

Because of the inextricable relationship with the Cui family, the emperor completely excluded the crown prince during this clean-up activity, and the little image that the crown prince had managed to build up these days also completely collapsed because of this incident.

Qi Qiaoqiao looked at the prince who had been bored in the study for a long time, and finally couldn't help persuading him: "Your Highness is so troubled, but because of Mr. Cui's affairs?"

The prince nodded and did not speak. In fact, it is unlikely that the Cui family would fall apart because of this incident, because the emperor still seems to be very dependent on Cui Hao, but this incident involved his eldest son, but did not touch him. Cui Hao himself.

Therefore, even though the Cui Mansion is in chaos inside, from the outside it looks the same as before, holding up the prestige, and the more it is at this time, the more it is necessary to remain calm and unchanged.

But the prince knows better than anyone else. Qi Qiaoqiao looked at the prince's frowning look, and said to the prince: "This time, the servant has also heard about it. The servant has a little stupid opinion. I don't know if your highness is I can't hear it."

The prince is also in a mess right now. As I said earlier, the Cui family has been in charge of his management arrangements for so many years. Most of the prince’s party in the court is only followed by Cui Hao. Therefore, when the prince gradually moved away from the Cui family, the staff, There are many fewer counselors, and they are stuck here for a while, and no one can think of a good way.

Of course, the prince is not that old-fashioned person, although Qi Qiaoqiao is a small female official, but the prince can also see a little way from her words and deeds.What's more, the authorities are fans of this incident, maybe Qi Qiaoqiao, a cold-eyed bystander, can see something.

The crown prince asked Qi Qiaoqiao to talk about it, Qi Qiaoqiao didn't refuse, and expressed his opinion in an orderly manner: "According to the humble opinion of my servant, in this case, His Highness is purely raped by the Cui family—no, by the Cui family. This so-called cousin was implicated. His Highness's excellent image in front of the emperor collapsed in one fell swoop because of this incident. Because in the heart of the Holy Majesty, His Highness and the Cui family have long been tied together. Grasshopper."

Qi Qiaoqiao glanced at the prince, paused and said: "Besides, the Holy Majesty is not in good health now. I dare not speculate on the situation. His Royal Highness knows the best. When such a thing happened, King Lu and the other princes would In front of the emperor, you are more valued than your highness. These younger brothers of your highness are not simple, especially the two princes, King Lu and King Zhao. With Concubine Feng playing their ears in the palace, they can compete with your highness .”

The prince looked at Qi Qiaoqiao and said nothing, and motioned Qi Qiaoqiao to continue, Qi Qiaoqiao said slowly: "It must not be for no reason that this matter was exposed like this. The slave guessed that there must be an expert behind it." Give advice. What His Royal Highness needs to do right now is to pick himself out of Cui's vortex."

Qi Qiaoqiao glanced at the prince as he spoke, before he could answer, he added another sentence: "But you can't pick it too clean, the sage said that 'gentlemen are harmonious but different', the prince is now going to do it in front of the sage. The gesture is to win over the hearts of the people in the court, but also to control them, so as not to let them become a threat to His Highness..."

After talking for a long time, Qi Qiaoqiao took a meaningful look at the prince, and the prince said to Qi Qiaoqiao, "You mean, I want to take the initiative to ask my father to deal with Cui Jingde's case?"

Qi Qiaoqiao nodded and said: "Exactly, when this case came out, the emperor did not trust His Highness to the extreme. It was not a wise move for His Highness to intervene in this matter, but at this time, there is no other way." , Your Highness can only do this in order to protect himself."

The prince seemed to hesitate a bit, Qi Qiaoqiao paused and said: "Right now King Lu and King Zhao have formed a siege against His Royal Highness, if His Highness wants to counterattack, he can only find an ally among the princes to help, Qi His Highness Wang sincerely loves His Highness, so he was originally the best candidate, but right now he is away on an expedition... In fact, His Highness King Qi's elder brother is also a good candidate."

The crown prince glanced at Qi Qiaoqiao and said, "Fourth brother?"

Qi Qiaoqiao nodded, and said cautiously: "I just heard His Royal Highness King Qi talk about King Qin and the Crown Prince. The three of you grew up together. From what King Qi said, the relationship between King Qin and His Highness is probably better than their brothers. , joining hands with the King of Qin at this time, His Highness may be able to win the round."

The prince kept silent, as if he was hesitating, Qi Qiaoqiao said to the prince, "Your Highness is worried that the king of Qin will have a different heart, and when the time comes, the mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole will be behind?"

The crown prince shook his head, smiled wryly and said: "It's not because of this, if the fourth brother has such thoughts... Hey, forget it, you go out, I think about it again."

Qi Qiaoqiao nodded and retreated, returned to his residence, wrote a letter to Bailiyue, told him about the East Palace, and quietly went out to find a way to bring this letter to Bailiyue. Satoshi.

After all, the prince still chose to join hands with the King of Qin to tide over the difficulties. Qi Qiaoqiao found that these days, the King of Qin came to the East Palace more often. I've met Baili Yue several times, but I never had a chance to talk to him.

It was still Bailiyue who came to the East Palace that day, and those people talked about it very late. When Qi Qiaoqiao watched the crowd disperse, he followed Bailiyue who was walking at the end in the dark, and gently stepped forward to pull him. Baili got more and more aware of it, and followed Qi Qiaoqiao to a place where no one was seen.

Qi Qiaoqiao was very familiar with the East Palace these days, so he led Baili to a place where no one was around. The more Baili saw the quietness here, he stopped and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, You have to take a risk to stop this king."

In fact, there was nothing important. Recently, Qi Qiaoqiao frequently sent news about Donggong to Bai Liyue. The important things the two of them wanted to talk about were all in the letters, but there was nothing to talk about when they actually met.

Qi Qiaoqiao took a breath and said, "I probably can't help His Highness take out that letter, I can only do this, and I don't know if I can help His Highness you!"

Qi Qiaoqiao couldn't see Bai Liyue's face clearly in the dark, but he was sure he smiled and said, "Good girl, you have helped me a lot."

Only then did Qi Qiaoqiao feel relieved, and said to Baili Yue: "Your Highness, how have you been since you got married?"
