Chapter 77
Shangjing.
The other courtyard of the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue.
A carriage drove up from the morning mist, and the copper bell in front of the carriage jingled, and the crisp sound startled the birds pecking in front of the gate.
Chu Xie hadn't slept all night, and now he was lying in the carriage leaning against Tao Li's arms, with a strand of temple hair still sticking to his neck.Everywhere on my body is aching, and I feel uncomfortable at all.
Tao Li called him softly: "My lord, we are here."
Chu Xie fell to the ground with his support, every step he took was useless, his body was sticky, and his clothes were sticking to his skin.This feeling is really bad.With a black face, he taught people to prepare hot water for bathing.
Zhu Qi was waiting here early.Chu Xie's health has always been bad, and he has been in the palace for many days, Zhu Qi is worried that he will not be able to survive due to lack of energy and blood, so he has already prepared a pool of medicinal baths.Chu Xie changed into an ill-fitting bodyguard costume, and immersed his body in the soup pool for half a month. The chaos in his head and the pain in many places on his body were slowly relieved by the hot air.
Raising his hand to see the bruises on his left wrist and the many bruises on his body, Chu Xie's jaw became tighter and tighter.
damn it.
Why does it have to be worn on this sick man? If it is worn on Xu Chunmu's body by Lao Tzu, or anyone else, it will be fine, see who can beat who.
Because of the pain, I unconsciously recalled some clips, and now the underwater hand is still shaking with anger, and a wave of water splashes.
"Host, what's wrong with you." After turning on the system, there was a worried voice in my mind, "Your mood swings are very big... Hey, host, why are you out of the palace! You can't leave the palace, don't we have to pay back?" Follow the plot..."
"What kind of bullshit plot, don't go!"
"If you don't leave, how can you guarantee Xu Chunmu..."
"Just take him away and send him out of Shangjing." Chu Xie frowned, "What kind of military power, what kind of glory, what shit! Life is the most important thing. Kill Zhao Lingqu, stab Jiang Yanchi. If you continue to disturb me It's gone, it's gone!"
"Host, you will die sooner or later..."
"That can't be like this!" Chu Xie was excited and pulled the wound again, and the unspeakable pain hit the spine.
His temples twitched in shock.
Outrageous.
Fortunately, the letter was delivered at the last minute last night.Zhu Qi immediately went to the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of War to arrange the west gate of Miyagi overnight.As soon as Jiang Yanchi left in the early hours of the morning, Chu Xie couldn't wait for a moment, and after giving Taoli a few words, he left Miyagi under the cover of Miyagi's hidden guards.
This is the west of Shangjing City, and then three miles away from Shangjing City, it is the western suburbs where Mr. Wang and Sun Gongzi love to hunt.Therefore, this area is sparsely populated.
The land that Zhao Xuan and I looked at at the beginning, the land that I bought under the name of Zhao Xuan's cousin, has been left unused for many years and has never been used.At the moment, it is hidden from people's eyes and ears, and it doesn't look like someone lives at all if it is cleaned up outside.
Stay out of the limelight for now.
Look for an opportunity to go out to the capital again.
Tao Li pushed the door in with her new clothes in her arms, said that the house was cleaned, and she took a towel to wipe Chu Xie's arms and back.
When I got closer, I heard her adults say "No need, you go out".Suddenly his eyes turned red.
"My lord, what should we do now." Tao Li squatted aside wiping her tears, "Are we doomed... woo woo..."
"Won't die."
"Hoo... Your Excellency doesn't know. At that time, Your Excellency disappeared in Puyang County. Your Majesty still carried the dowry list into the Chu Mansion one by one. It was a beautiful time...but I thought that Your Excellency would never come back. What's the use of the scenery after death, I said this, crying beside the vermilion wooden box, His Majesty assured me that you would be fine, at that time I looked at him, I thought he had changed, changed It must be different from the former Crown Prince, who was willing to marry a dead man within a few days after succeeding to the throne. Later, when the Lord really came back, I thought that His Majesty would treat him well..."
"How do you know. This His Majesty is no different from the former Crown Prince... He still can't understand you and always makes things difficult for you. The days to come...how are we going to live..."
Taoli sobbed and wiped her tears.
Chu Xie sighed, "Don't worry, don't cry, I'll think of a way."
There was the sound of flapping wings outside, Taoli went out to meet her, and took back a strip of cloth after a while.
Still haven't found out the whereabouts of Xu Chunmu.
Jiang Yanchi deliberately avoided his eyes and ears on purpose.Holding the cloth strip in the palm of his hand, after entering the soup pool, the handwriting was smeared and blurred, Chu Xie lowered his eyes and thought.
It is impossible for a person to be in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Not in Zhao Prison either.
And to be able to detain the majestic little lord in the north, it is impossible to be just a mere military soldier.
Jiang Yanchi must have used the Forbidden Army, and then what.
Ying Tianfu.
Chu Xie raised his eyes suddenly, yes, he was detained in Yingtian Mansion first, and then moved to Dali Temple.
Yin Tianfu Yin is now Lord Qi Suiqi.
If the plot doesn't go awry, Lord Qi will be promoted to one of the Nine Ministers, Dali Temple Minister three years later.He is fair and meticulous, and together with Xu Chunmu, he is the right-hand man of Jiang Yanchi's dictating the country in the early stage.
And Zhao Xuan was Jiang Yanchi's help in carrying out reforms during ZTE.
These three should have shared the same interests and cherished each other.
However, Xu Chunmu was disturbed by his current situation, the plot deviated a lot, and he didn't have much acquaintance with this Lord Qi.
On the contrary, Zhao Xuan and Qi Sui have a very close friendship.
From that point of view, we still have to start with Zhao Xuan.Now that his whereabouts are unknown, Jiang Yanchi will definitely keep his eyes on Yingtian Mansion and Dali Temple - even if he can get convenience from Qi Sui through Zhao Xuan, how to pass the gate of the city depends on one person.
Su Mingan.
This old fox is very clear about any trouble in the capital.
It is necessary to steal such a big man from Dali Temple and send him out of the city.Chu Xie was [-]% sure to avoid the little emperor's eyes and ears, but he knew he couldn't escape Su Ming'an's calculations.
Now Jiang Yanchi and Su Ming'an are on the same path.
What a headache.
Chu Xie kneaded the center of his brows, and he had already made a decision in a moment - he had just passed it back then, and Su Ming'an taught him by himself.It is most useful to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot.
Both the little emperor and Grand Tutor Su thought they were holding Xu Chunmu down, so they pinched Xu Chunmu's acupoint.
But Zhao Lingqu is still in Zhao Prison.
Chu Xie looked at the rising sun and counted the time: "Taoli, catch a muslim falcon."
Taoli wiped away her tears and asked, "Are you going to the Ministry of War, sir?"
Ministry of War, no.After leaving by himself, Jiang Yanchi will be the first to watch the Ministry of War to guard against the city guards.I'm afraid that within a few hours, every city gate will be replaced with the guard's eyeliner.
"I want to send a letter to Zhao Xuan. Remember, to avoid other people in Yue's government, this letter must be handed over to Zhao Xuan."
***
Within half an hour, this remote courtyard ushered in a second distinguished guest.Also not daring to make a big show, Zhao Xuan only rode his horse to the entrance of the street, tied the horse in the shed, and walked over.
After climbing over two walls, he almost touched the guards watching over the wall, and finally saw Chu Xie.
"Zhao Xuan, do you know that your father colluded with the Yuezhi people?"
Chu Xie pointed it out, Zhao Xuan didn't seem to have thought that Chu Xie knew so well, first he was silent for a while, and then answered with a guilty conscience: "You want me to come today to question this matter."
"I didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes. With my current appearance, I can't inquire about your Zhao family's crimes." Chu Xie showed weakness in words, and Zhao Xuan looked at the man in shock.
He hesitated, "Then you..."
"I'm very happy that you are willing to come here. I heard that you have a deep relationship with that Yingtian Fu Yin, I..."
Zhao Xuan frowned, not knowing why Chu Xie mentioned Qi Sui.
Thinking about those few years ago, it was indeed Qi Sui who offended Chu Xie in a small matter. Could it be that after such a long time, he still has to settle these old accounts.
Chu Xie pondered his expression, and said in a low voice: "I want to meet this Mr. Qi in private, and you will ask him out for me."
There are three poles in the sun, and the teahouse is full of people.In the private room, Zhao Xuan led Qi Sui to see Chu Xie again.
"Master Qi." Chu Xie pushed his cup politely, but Qi Sui didn't answer him.
"My dear guest, the empress is here. I don't know what you can do with me." Qi Sui sat upright, didn't plan to eat the drink, just looked at Chu Xie, "The official is busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain the empress. .”
It's kind of vengeful.
Chu Xie curled his lips in silence.
"What I want to discuss with Mr. Qi is business matters."
Qi Sui's eyes were piercing, "The empress wants to discuss business with the minister, but the minister dare not say a word."
"It's not the queen, it's Chu's palm print." Chu Xie put on an official posture upright.
Zhao Xuan and Qi Sui looked at each other, Qi Sui was about to speak, but Zhao Xuan stopped him but failed.
"Your Majesty, don't you know that just this morning, His Majesty just ordered you to cut off your palm print position."
Chu Xie's face changed slightly.
Qi Sui's voice was indifferent, and he seemed to approve of the emperor's actions, "The front court and the rear palace should not communicate with each other. Madam, you have no right to intervene in court affairs now."
Jiang... Yan Chi.You are really fucking fast.
Chu Xie sneered in his heart.
"Lord Chu, Lord Qi has such a temperament, and his speech is fundamental—" Zhao Xuan reconciled with the water.
"Master Qi is still like this, and he doesn't talk much to leave a way out for himself."
Qi Sui's eyes were dull, "I just don't hold back what I say, unlike my mother, who doesn't hold back in doing things." After finishing speaking, he put on an application of 'I knew you would end up like this', and gave Chu Xie a look , and then broke the point, "Don't you know that, just two hours ago, a group of people in the Chu Mansion have been imprisoned?"
"Elder Zhao Xiaoshi can still come to see you now, it's because he really misses the old days."
The atmosphere froze again.
Zhao Xuan thought about Chu Xie's temperament in the past, and now he heard the words and his heart arose.Qi Sui hadn't been in Zhongju for a long time, and he hadn't had enough of crawling and rolling, so he didn't understand the reason why a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
There is no room for the other party in the inside and outside of the words.
"Lord Chu—"
"He is the queen, not Lord Chu." Qi Sui interrupted Zhao Xuan, and finally drank the tea in front of him with some appetite, with a bit of politeness in his eyes, "Since you have chosen Israel as a servant, you have to try every means to climb up to your majesty's place." You shouldn't be thinking about meddling in the affairs of the court, no matter what the empress wants to say today, Qi will not agree to it."
"Where. Chu is here today to thank Mr. Qi for his kindness to Chu during the palace banquet a few years ago."
Chu Xie took a step back, and brought up the old matter again, "Fortunately, Master Qi brought Chu out of the palace at the night banquet, so that Chu would not make a fool of himself. Master Qi repays grievances with virtue, and has a good character. Chu knows it."
Zhao Xuan's eyes widened.
Chu Xie's mouth really looks like a deceiving ghost.
"Humph."
"I just want to ask two questions today. First, does Mr. Qi know which important person was imprisoned in your Yingtian Mansion a few days ago?"
Qi Sui raised his eyes slightly.
"The second sentence, Mr. Qi, do you really think this person should be detained?"
With a bang, the cup fell into place.
"It's inconvenient for Qi to talk about this matter, so I bid farewell today—"
"It was the Yuezhi people who detained Xu Chunmu."
"Zhao Xuan, do you know that? Su Ming'an, the grand tutor of the court, is the remnant of the Yue family! Now he controls the government, manipulates the emperor, and even dares to stop the little prince who guards the border - such a thing, Mr. Qi... "
"I am a minister of the emperor, so naturally I only obey the orders of the emperor." Qi Sui interrupted coldly, "Mrs. Chu, don't say any more."
"If you don't save him, he will die at the hands of the Yuezhi people."
Chu Xie got up to block his way, and said more seriously, "At that time, all 30 military power will fall into the hands of the Yuezhi people. Do you know what kind of scene it will be... Even though I controlled the government back then, at least I never moved the border military power! Now What is this like, Lord Qi, did you listen to the order of the emperor, or the order of the Yue clan? Your majesty was deceived when he was young, and you want to be a loyal and foolish minister who helps the tyrant."
Qi Sui's eyes changed a little, but he still pursed his lips and didn't make a sound.
Zhao Xuan suddenly didn't understand what Chu Xie wanted to do.
"You want to save Xu Chunmu?" He frowned, "Why?"
Qi Sui's complexion gradually turned gray, and he clenched his sleeves tightly, "If it's as Mrs. Chu said, then does it make any difference whether the 30 military power belongs to the Yue clan or to you? There will be no peace in the end. "
"Different."
Chu Xie smiled, "Although I am the same as Su Ming'an, I am not a good person."
"But Xu Chunmu is different from Zhao Lingqu."
Qi Sui frowned, took half a step back, and returned to his position, raising his hand to prop his chin in a daze.
Greeting Xiaoer for a jug of wine, he took another sip.
"When I become an official, I want a clear and prosperous world, instead of weighing and making decisions in this dirty place..."
Chu Xie smiled, took the wine in his hand and filled it up for him, "Two evils are in power, whichever is lesser."
"Then Su Ming'an has the ability to coax the little emperor to lure the Hu soldiers into chaos in the western region, almost destroying the great Wei... Do you want to watch this kind of thing a second time? In the end, Jiang Yanchi still has half a moon in his body." of his lineage."
The voice became more and more charming, with a protracted end, as if bewitching, "...his heart is unpredictable."
