Two-quarters of an hour after the morning court started, Qian Xingwen, the Minister of Civil Service, walked out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, the Zhenwu Division has made great contributions in suppressing the world's martial arts, and has made great contributions in quelling the rebellion in Shuzhou. This merit should be rewarded."
"Um!"
Lihuang, who was originally careless, suddenly raised his head and looked at Qian Xingwen in surprise.
At the same time, all the officials in the palace looked at Qian Xingwen strangely.
I won’t say whether the Zhenwu Division has any merit, but there has been a tacit understanding in the court that they should not care about the affairs of the Zhenwu Division, because the Zhenwu Division was supported by Emperor Li. They had taken care of it before, but Emperor Li simply ignored it.
.
Now that Qian Xingwen suddenly wanted to reward Zhenwu Division for his merits, everyone felt a little strange.
Qin Changping stood in front of the queue, looking at his nose and heart, as if the old god was still there.
Qin Changan frowned at first, then glanced at Qin Changping and said nothing.
On the other hand, Qin Jun's expression moved slightly, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Emperor Li lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then asked: "How do you think we should reward you?"
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Zhenwu Department knows that Zhuge Zhengwo is smart, capable, upright, and has the appearance of a virtuous minister. After the Prince of Xin'an County left the capital, he took charge of the Zhenwu Division and worked hard with great achievements. Such a virtuous minister should be given a heavy responsibility."
"The commander of Tianzhou Zhenwu Division, Tie Youxia, is well-mannered, well-mannered and talented. He can be reused in Dali Temple."
"Li Ru, the commander of the Zhenwu Division, has both moral integrity and talent, and is a shrewd director, so he can take charge of one side."
"Zhenwu Si Qianhu Yu Wencheng has innate cultivation. He has conquered every battle in Shuzhou and is unbeatable. He can be a general!"
Qian Xingwen said slowly.
The faces of the officials in the palace became more and more weird, especially when he said Yu Wen Chengdu, all the military attachés in the palace frowned.
Most of the military attaches came from nobles, so it was strange that these nobles would agree to let Yuwen Chengdu go to the army to become a general.
Emperor Li looked calm and asked, "Should Prince Xin'an reward you?"
"His Royal Highness is the grandson of His Majesty. It is up to Your Majesty to decide how to award rewards. I don't dare to speak nonsense." Qian Xingwen said.
A faint smile flashed in Lihuang's eyes, and then he glanced at Qin Changping and the others.
"I still need to think about this matter. Let's withdraw from the court first."
After saying that, he got up and left the hall.
The ministers respectfully send you off.
Returning to the imperial study, Emperor Li asked Eunuch Lu: "Who ordered this Qian Xingwen?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Ping's Palace Chief Shi Wu Bin paid a visit to Qian Xingwen last night," Eunuch Lu replied.
Lihuang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "This method is quite clever. He actually wants to demolish the Zhenwusi."
Now Zhuge Zheng, Tie Shou and I are the backbone of Zhenwu Division. If they were transferred away, Zhenwu Division would be half collapsed.
Of course, Lihuang also understood that the people who caused trouble would not let the Zhenwu Division collapse. Qin Changping's purpose should be to replace the officials of the Zhenwu Division with his own people.
As for Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu, they are both close to Qin Wei, so there is no need to explain the purpose of transferring them.
"What do you think?" Emperor Li asked nonchalantly.
Eunuch Lu thought for a while and said: "Now Zhuge Zheng and Tie Youxia are presiding over the establishment of Zhenwu divisions in various states, so it's better not to take action lightly."
"Does that mean Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu can move?" Li Huang said.
Eunuch Lu said nothing.
"Their origins haven't been found out yet?" Emperor Li asked again.
Eunuch Lu shook his head and said: "No, there is no difference at all."
"Not from the Six Holy Lands?" Emperor Li frowned slightly.
"Probably not." Mr. Lu said impartially.
Zhuge Zhengwo, Tie Shou and others are now considered to be in important positions, and it is impossible for the Imperial City Division not to investigate their origins and backgrounds.
In fact, from the beginning, Eunuch Lu asked the Imperial City Department to investigate the origins of Tie Shou and Yu Wen Chengdu, but they have not found anything until now.
"What do they think of Prince Xin'an?" Emperor Li asked.
"We are very respectful and have no objection at all." Mr. Lu said impartially.
Emperor Li thought for a moment, "Go and let Qian Xingwen know something about it, and transfer Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu away first!"
"Here!" Eunuch Lu responded and exited the study.
…
Long'an Mansion, in a gorgeous manor.
Qi Chao was sitting by the pond, holding a green fishing rod.
He was wearing a dark satin robe, with snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns, which complemented the mutton-fat jade crown on his head. His face looked like powder, and his eyebrows looked like ink paintings.
As if bathed in an elegance coming from the very core.
If he were not a eunuch, there would definitely be countless women admiring him.
"My subordinates pay their respects to Master Qi!"
At this time, a middle-aged man in gray attire came over and bowed.
Qi Chao disliked people calling him father-in-law. Perhaps his status as a eunuch made him feel inferior and lacking.
"Um!"
Qi Chao looked at the ripples of the water peacefully, his thin body motionless.
"We found people from the Imperial City Division in the city," the man said.
"Isn't this a normal thing?"
Qi Chao's voice was full of elegant charm, without the shrillness and gloominess of the eunuch at all.
"The prince is here too!" the man said.
Qi Chao suddenly raised his head, his eyes shot out cold stars.
"Wang An!"
"That's right!"
"Why is he here?"
"My subordinates don't know, but he is indeed in the city."
Qi Chao put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up, his face as bright as the autumn moon looking more solemn.
Imperial City Secretary, Wang An!
Didn't he always follow Prince Xin'an before?
The Shuzhou Rebellion has just ended, why did he come to Long'an Mansion!
Is there something happening in the imperial city that I don't know about?
It's impossible. Even if there is, it's impossible for me to have no news at all.
His mind began to spin rapidly, and his thoughts expanded from Long'an Mansion to the entire Shuzhou, and then to Kyoto.
After a long time, he suddenly looked blank.
"Prince Xin'an!"
He thought that there would be no problems with his relationship within the Imperial City. After all, he had been in Long'an Mansion for more than ten years. If the Imperial City wanted to deal with him, they would have taken action long ago.
If this Imperial City Secretary does not come from the Imperial City, then it can only come from Qin Wei.
In just a moment, he clarified the problem and pinned the cause on Qin Wei.
Prince Xin'an wants to take action against me?
For money!
The Shuzhou Rebellion is over, and the entire Shuzhou is short of money and food. It is reasonable for him to target me.
Thinking of this, Qi Chao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Trouble!"
"Master Qi, can the Imperial City Division still attack you?" the man said with some disbelief.
"It's impossible for the Imperial City Secretary, but it's possible for the Prince of Xin'an County." Qi Chao stood with his hands behind his hands and said helplessly.
"Prince Xin'an! He shouldn't dare," the man said.
Qi Chao shook his head slightly, "You don't understand."
The relationship between the royal family and the eunuchs is that of master and servant. Although the Prince of Xin'an County has no control over him, he is still his half-master no matter what.
He is not afraid of those noble families and nobles, but he is afraid of princes and grandsons like Qin Wei.
To deal with other people, he can use any means, but to deal with the princes and grandsons, he dare not use some dark means.
Because once exposed, he will die without a burial place.
"Prince Xin'an acts unscrupulously. Even the Duke of Kyoto dares to do something, let alone me!"
"If he is determined to deal with me, then I~~"
Qi Chao felt a little hesitant in his heart.
He is afraid.
Afraid of Qin Wei.
He had long heard about Qin Wei's reputation in Kyoto.
For him, Qin Wei's methods were too barbaric, making him feel like he couldn't handle it.
Qin Wei dared to lead troops to directly surround the Duke's Mansion, so he also dared to lead troops to directly surround Long'an Mansion.
Qi Chao paced back and forth by the pond, thinking about how to deal with Qin Wei.
But he thought for a long time and couldn't figure out a way.
It seems that his backers can't suppress Qin Wei, and his background in the imperial city is even more powerless against Qin Wei.
Even the two royal palaces could not suppress Qin Wei openly, let alone the eunuchs in the palace.
It seems that the only person in Dali who can suppress Qin Wei is Emperor Li.
But how could the Qi Dynasty control Emperor Li?
"It seems we have no choice but to accept this sword!" Qi Chao murmured dullly.
…
Inside Shuzhou City.
Under the cool shade of the trees, Qin Wei lay lazily on the rocking chair, swaying squeakingly.
The summer breeze blew slowly, ruffling his hair and clothes.
His mind was immersed in the Yitian chessboard.
It has been more than three months since the last conversion to Wuhua.
In the past two months, Yitian Chessboard once again accumulated eighteen thousand potentials.
Compared with before, the increase rate of Shi Qi has slowed down a lot. Last time, in just one month, more than 14,000 Shi Qi were accumulated. But now, more than three months have passed, but less than 1,000 Shi Qi has been accumulated.
Twenty thousand powerful energy.
The reason for this is that the power controlled by Qin Wei has grown slowly.
Before he was transformed into Wuhua last time, he happened to take control of the Anning Guards and gained 20,000 troops, so his power and power increased a lot.
In the past three months, although his power in Shuzhou has increased a lot, the actual military power in his hands has not increased much.
As for the Zhenwu Division, its power has long been spread throughout Dali. The Zhenwu Division is being established in various states, but it has not yet reached the point of overpowering the entire Dali.
To put it simply, in the past three months, the power in Qin Wei's hands has been in a stable and slowly increasing trend, without much fluctuation.
Qin Wei was not dissatisfied with this. The growth of Shi Qi was not temporary. In the past three months, the growth rate of Shi Qi was actually not slow, but it was not as sharp as before.
And he was already prepared for the slow growth of momentum.
Because he will stay in Shuzhou from now on, and his power will also transfer from Zhenwusi to Shuzhou. For some time in the future, his power will probably grow slowly or stop growing.
Looking at the momentum lingering on the Yitian chessboard, Qin Wei skillfully cultivated ten chess pieces.
Ten new chess pieces appeared on the chessboard, two of which had no cultivation, two had innate cultivation, and the remaining six were between the first and ninth grades.
Qin Wei glanced at it casually and directly transformed the two uncultivated chess pieces into characters.
There is no need to consume energy to transform a chess piece without cultivation into a character. In fact, this kind of chess piece is full of surprises and is even more anticipated than those innate chess pieces.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Wei transformed another innate chess piece.
As for the chess pieces in the middle, Qin Wei did not transform.
Perhaps there are unexpected surprises among these chess pieces, but in terms of investment and return ratio, the chess pieces without cultivation and the innate chess pieces are undoubtedly the highest.
Noticing that the stream of light had escaped into the void outside the chessboard, Qin Wei withdrew his mind, gave Xiao Shunzi instructions, and then waited leisurely.
