"Where to start? Hasn't Xue Bao, the deputy commander of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, already gone to the East Palace to listen to him? The deputy commander of the Prince of Qi's Mansion is a close official of the inner palace of the Qi Prince's House. Apart from my Highness, only the Saint can call the others. If people want to invoke it, they have to get the sage’s explicit decree.
Now that the sage has not issued a clear edict, Xue Bao has gone to the East Palace to listen to it. Could it be that the East Palace has taken over Prince Qi's palace?"
Li Sixing said with a faint smile, his tone was not urgent but Wei Zheng heard it harshly.
Wei Zheng kept smiling and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Prince of Qi have always been on good terms, and it is common for them to second each other's subordinates. How come the East Palace accommodates Prince Qi's palace?"
Li Sixing nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my Highness have always been on good terms, and it is indeed common for them to second their subordinates to each other. But in the past, His Highness the Crown Prince would always inform my Highness of the secondment, but this time he did not say anything. No sound.
Those who know know that His Highness the Crown Prince and my Highness have a close brotherly relationship, but those who don’t know think that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t take my Highness seriously.”
These words are stinging.
Not only does it sound harsh, but it can actually cause blood when it pricks someone.
Wei Zheng did not dare to respond, "Li Qiaoqi was joking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had a close brotherly relationship with His Highness the King of Qi. This time, Xue Hujun was seconded and he did not inform His Highness the King of Qi. This was indeed an oversight.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided that he will personally come to apologize to His Highness King Qi in the near future."
Li Sixing nodded and asked: "What day is it? If it is today, then I will turn around and leave."
Wei Zheng looked embarrassed, it must not be today.
The prince had just finished fishing for people from Prince Qi's Mansion, and then immediately ran to Prince Qi's Mansion. Wouldn't that be hitting the muzzle of a gun?
"In a few days..."
Wei Zheng declined.
Li Sixing said quietly: "In a few days, I will have to have a good talk with you."
Wei Zheng bowed and said, "I would like to listen to Li Qiaoqi's teachings."
Wei Zheng's attitude was very good. Even though he knew that Li Sixing was here to find trouble, he still treated Li Sixing respectfully.
Nothing more than not giving Li Sixing an excuse to act up.
Li Sixing waved his hand and said: "You should not take the teachings seriously. As the crown prince, there is no need to explain to others the appointment of hundreds of officials. But Xue Bao is still an official of the Prince of Qi's palace, and he is also an official in charge of military affairs.
His Highness the Crown Prince has transferred Xue Bao away, and if something happens to the troops under his command, it will be troublesome."
Wei Zheng's expression changed slightly and he said: "Xue Hujun is just the deputy of the Dian Army, isn't there a Dian Army above him? With the Dian Army restraining him, there shouldn't be any trouble."
Li Sixing asked with a smile, "What if there is an assassin?"
Wei Zheng's pupils shrank and he smiled dryly and said: "The palace's attendants are all carefully selected loyal and upright people, how can there be assassins?"
Li Sixing smiled and asked, "Wei Xima, don't you know the importance of it?"
Wei Zhenggong cupped his hands and said: "If an assassin appears in the palace's attendants, then all the subordinate officials and attendants in the palace will be liquidated by the saint.
I think His Highness Prince Qi will not gamble with the lives of his subordinates for a Xue Bao."
Li Sixing nodded and said: "What Wei Xima said is reasonable. I am also an official of Prince Qi's palace. If the saint wants to liquidate, I will not be able to escape the punishment. Naturally, I will not watch my highness gamble with the lives of the subordinates of the palace." .
But you should understand the temperament of my Highness. If he gets angry, he may not do anything outrageous."
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a deep brotherhood, so they will definitely not do anything out of the ordinary. Even if they do something out of the ordinary and cause trouble to the saint, no one will be able to please them."
Li Sixing narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, His Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to hand over Xue Bao?"
Wei Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Li Sixing sighed, "That's all, His Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to hand over Xue Bao, and I can't take it by force. But if I can't take Xue Bao back, my Highness will punish me again."
I can only take a hard trip to find a saint to make a decision.
By the way, I would like to tell the saint that my Royal Highness has decided to summon the fifth school of the Marriage Affairs Office for this matter."
After Li Sixing said this, he walked out of the East Palace without looking back.
Wei Zheng was startled.
The five schools of the Prince's Prince's Office, that is, the five captains of the Prince's Office, each command two hundred troops.
The King of Qi is a prince on horseback, and all five schools are full-staffed, that is, a thousand people.
If a thousand people riot in the palace, that is a mutiny.
That's incredible.
"Li Qiaoqi, wait a moment."
Wei Zheng hurriedly caught up with Li Sixing and stood in front of Wei Zheng.
Li Sixing said with a smile: "Why, can I enter the East Palace, but can't I get out?"
Wei Zheng bowed and said: "I don't dare..."
Wei Zheng looked up at Li Sixing and said with a wry smile: "Li Qiaoqi, why do you need to do this? We both know that His Highness King Qi cannot mobilize troops in the palace, so why do you use these words to scare the officials?"
Li Sixing said calmly: "Whether His Highness will mobilize troops in the palace is not important. What is important is what the saint will think about it when he knows about it."
Wei Zheng's expression changed again.
Li Shimin's rise to power not only threatened Li Jiancheng, but also threatened Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's nerves were now tense.
Any sign of mobilizing troops in the palace will attract Li Yuan's attention.
Once Li Yuan knew that Li Ji had signs of launching an army, even if he didn't believe it, he would dig deep into the root cause.
After Xue Bao is dug out, Xue Bao will undoubtedly die.
Li Jiancheng had to hand over one person to Li Ji to kill him to vent his anger.
Li Yuan loved his sons very much and was not merciful to the officials.
Li Yuan would never be merciful if he could use the heads of several officials to calm the conflict between his two sons.
"Why is Li Qiaoqi doing this?"
Wei Zheng asked in a deep voice.
Li Sixing was silent for a moment and said: "You and I are our own masters. If you don't embarrass me, I won't embarrass you. His Royal Highness was at fault in this matter. If he had first asked the saint for an edict, and then seconded Xue Baby, then no one can fault it.
But he didn't, and His Highness cares about this matter very much. In order to avoid being punished, I can only take this step."
"Do we have to hand over Xue Bao?"
Wei Zheng asked.
Li Sixing nodded and said nothing.
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "But when Xue Bao returns to Prince Qi's Mansion, he will undoubtedly die."
Li Sixing's face turned cold, "What does it have to do with me? Xue Bao got involved in something he shouldn't have got involved in, and if he was caught, he deserves to die."
Wei Zheng took a deep breath, bowed and said: "I'm going to ask for instructions from His Highness the Crown Prince."
This matter is not as simple as handing someone over, and Wei Zheng cannot make the decision for Li Jiancheng.
Xue Bao was Li Jiancheng's man, and he was killed when he worked for Li Jiancheng.
Whether Li Jiancheng is going to set an example for other people who work for him and protect Xue Bao to the death, or to hand over Xue Bao to quell the war and make other people who work for him feel cold, it depends on Li Jiancheng's choice.
Logically speaking, it would be more beneficial for Li Jiancheng to die to protect Xue Bao.
But Li Ji obviously refused to let this matter go, so Li Sixing could only hold on to it.
Li Jiancheng can't settle the matter unless he loses a piece or two of his flesh.
Li Sixing nodded and allowed Wei Zheng to ask for instructions.
If Xie Shufang, who was helping Li Ji convey the message, had not spoken very harshly, Li Sixing would not have intended to offend Li Jiancheng.
After all, Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, and he is also a very capable crown prince. He has great hope of ascending to the throne in the future. If he offends Li Jiancheng, he will not end well in the future.
But if you offend Li Jiancheng and be liquidated, that will happen later.
I offended Li Ji and was liquidated, but that’s now.
If Li Sixing can't even catch it now, how can he talk about the future?
Once Wei Zheng left, he never showed his face again.
On the contrary, the Crown Princess appeared in front of Li Sixing. After Li Sixing greeted him, she greeted Li Sixing with a few polite words and hurriedly left the East Palace.
Li Sixing knew that the Crown Princess was working as a lobbyist, so he was not in a hurry and waited quietly in the East Palace.
It would also be a good thing for Li Sixing if the Crown Princess could convince Li Ji not to pursue the matter further.
…
Wude Hall.
Sleeping hall.
Like a thief, Li Ji quietly appeared at the door of the dormitory courtyard.
Behind the door is a flower forest with many exotic flowers and trees planted.
Due to the bleak winter, most of the exotic flowers and trees have withered.
There are only a few winter plums blooming alone in the cold wind.
A young girl with a woman's hair ornament and a bright red cloak was sitting in front of a stone table under the plum tree, flipping through a book.
Behind the girl, stood four maids who were younger than the girl.
The girl is pure and beautiful, reading quietly, peaceful and elegant.
Li Ji felt a familiar feeling from her.
The feeling was exactly the same as when he was in middle school and saw the top female student in the class next door.
The girl was engrossed in reading, and Li Ji didn't bother her.
It's not that Li Ji is afraid of offending the beauty, nor is it that Li Ji can't bear to blaspheme.
In his heart, the girl is simply someone else's wife. If he goes up to talk to her rashly, he always feels ashamed of hooking up with a good family.
"See Your Highness..."
Li Ji had no intention of disturbing the girl, but that didn't mean that the maids behind the girl could turn a blind eye when they saw him.
After Li Ji paused for a few breaths, a maid behind the girl saw him and hurriedly saluted him.
Suddenly, the eyes of the girl and the other three maids fell on him.
The three maids hurriedly saluted.
The girl stood up and bowed slightly, "Alang..."
The voice is very soft and light.
Li Ji nodded pretending to be profound and waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
The girl and the four maids stood up together.
The girl began to put away the scroll.
The four maids also began to work.
His Royal Highness, King Qi, usually returned to his palace and did not like to do anything else.
Just wash up...
Well, I'll just take a shower and then take a nap.
His Highness Prince Qi is not a pity person. In his view, he is a prince and there is no need to pity any woman he cannot find.
It is better to go hunting and practice sex than to fall in love with a beautiful woman.
Therefore, the relationship between His Highness King Qi and Princess Qi is almost non-existent.
"No need to be busy."
Li Ji knew what Princess Qi Yang Miaoyan and her maids were doing, so he spoke out to stop them.
Yang Miaoyan and the maids were also stunned when they heard Li Ji's words.
Yang Miaoyan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Alang, is there something wrong?"
…
…
①: There is no clear record of Princess Qi’s name in history. There is a very gaudy name in unofficial history, but it obviously does not fit with Princess Qi’s origin, so I gave it a straw name. If you don’t like it, don’t criticize her.
