Qi Yunxiao entered the study with the letter he had read, and happened to face the angry face of His Majesty the Emperor, while Concubine Rong was calmly eating an apple on the side.
"What do you want to do? I will listen to your orders." Qi Yunxiao bowed and obeyed.
His Majesty the Emperor was healed a little by Qi Yunxiao's straightforward attitude, and he was not so angry anymore.
After thinking about it, the emperor sneered: "I and Concubine Rong will go to Liuli Island to make room for the King Heng who cares about the world."
Qi Yunxiao obeyed and did as he was told, and immediately called his soldiers to arrange the ship. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Tan Wanchun of Liuli Island, asking him to prepare a residence for His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.
"Please tell me clearly. If he comes here to seek a place to stay, that's all. If he wants to borrow troops from you..." You understand.
"I understand!"
When His Majesty the Emperor calls himself me, he is the Son of Heaven.
At this time, Qi Yunxiao, an illegitimate son whose identity is not very clear, cannot position himself as a son, but only as a minister.
His Majesty the Emperor ran away with Concubine Rong, and not long after, Qi Yunxiao also welcomed His Highness Prince Heng, whom he had never interacted with before.
King Heng is almost thirty years old this year. In terms of age, he is several years older than Qi Yunxiao.
Therefore, as soon as they met, King Heng held Qi Yunxiao's hand and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Brother Xian, brother Fool, it all depends on you!"
Qi Yunxiao was stunned for a moment: What? You also know about the matter between me and the emperor?
Of course, King Heng didn't know, but it was just to make Qi Yunxiao feel that he valued him very much.
It's just that he used to be indifferent, but now Qi Yunxiao has made him unable to reach high.
Of course, Qi Yunxiao’s face won’t show anything.
So the room that His Majesty the Emperor had just stayed in was given to King Heng to live in.
When King Heng finished washing and tidying up, and sat neatly and elegantly in the study, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi both paid their respects to him honestly.
The guests and hosts sat down to chat, and King Heng couldn't let go of his arrogance, but at the same time he had to force himself to be humble, which always made people feel divided.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi's son-in-law cooperated, and after some inquiring, they found out the whole story.
It turns out that King Heng was set up by Prince Gong. After all the cards in his hand were used up by Prince Gong, he had nothing to rely on.
With no other choice, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty made plans one by one, and finally thought of Qi Yunxiao.
It is well known that Qi Yunxiao has Dragon Guards in his hands, as well as Shen Zhongyi, a not-too-old veteran, and many elite soldiers.
If you want to win back a city, Qi Yunxiao has the troops, the money, and the general Qi Yunxiao who leads the army...
All the necessary elements for rebellion are simply present!
So King Heng came all the way.
However, when King Heng said something like rebellion, it was naturally not like this.
King Heng looked at Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi eagerly: "My lords, I came all the way here to prevent our country, country and country from falling into the hands of the rebels. As long as you two can lead the army to the capital to quell the rebellion, I would like to come and wait for my father. When the emperor comes back, he will definitely remember the great achievements of the two of you!"
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi looked at each other and understood.
King Heng is quite capable of describing things like rebellion in such a fresh and refreshing way, with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Shen Zhongyi covered his chest and coughed: "I dare not deceive His Highness Prince Heng. Since I was injured in the capital last time, my body has not fully recovered, especially if I can't be injured..."
Therefore, Your Highness, I cannot do this!
Qi Yunxiao was embarrassed to speak so hypocritically, so he raised his hands and asked, "I wonder if King Heng's move is based on His Majesty's decree?"
King Heng: "...not yet."
"I have already asked someone to go to Emperor Father to ask for the imperial edict. However, when I set out, Emperor Father had not yet given me the imperial edict. I guess I was in a hurry and missed it. We will definitely see it when we return to the capital."
Qi Yunxiao handed over his hand again: "If this is the case, without His Majesty's imperial edict, please forgive me for not being able to go to the capital to quell the rebellion."
"How can you two stick to formalities? The situation is extremely critical right now..." King Heng was anxious and hurriedly tried to PUA again.
Qi Yunxiao said seriously: "It is precisely because the current situation in the capital is so treacherous that we and other foreign ministers cannot easily intervene, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings among the people in the world. If people think that we are the real rebels, then we are just talking. I can’t explain!”
King Heng: "..." Could it be that I was too anxious and made them defensive?!
So King Heng slowly calmed himself down, and tried to keep his eyes sincere: "It would be best if you two can go to the capital as soon as possible to quell the rebellion, but if you don't go... wait until your father returns from the hospital. , naturally can handle everything."
This time Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi both raised their hands: "That's exactly it."
King Heng: "I wonder what this island looks like now?"
Since you changed the subject, we can talk and discuss it.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi then accompanied him around the island.
We finished wandering around the not-so-big Jingluo Island in a short time. After King Heng watched it, he was arranged to have a sumptuous dinner.
The richer the dinner, the colder the heart of King Heng.
Qi Yunxiao and the others live so happily here, no wonder they have to be willing to return to the capital with him to rebel.
There is always only one winner on the road to heaven, and when is there not a river of blood?
They don't want to be pawns, that's all...
After dinner, His Royal Highness King Heng took another step back: "You two are living so happily now. I don't think it would be so leisurely to come back to Daqi, let alone trade with Fanbang in such a big way..."
"You two are making a lot of money from this business, right? I've heard that you two made a lot of money just from the glass pieces."
Shen Zhongyi continued to smile: "Not bad! Not bad..."
"This time to suppress the rebellion, we still don’t know when my father will come back. I can’t just watch Prince Gong control the government so wantonly, even if there are thousands of people, I will go!"
Shen Zhongyi looked admiring: "I admire you! I admire you..."
"I wonder how much money you two can use here? Can you... lend me two hundred thousand taels first to quell the rebellion?"
Shen Zhongyi looked bitter this time: "Your Majesty, we were originally very rich, but a few days ago, we acquired a large area of farmland on another island and invested in two streets in Fanbang..."
Anyway, I am very poor, so you can’t try to influence me.
Before King Heng could turn his back, Qi Yunxiao persuaded him with a righteous face: "Anyway, Your Majesty will definitely take care of this matter. If you ask me, Your Highness, King Heng, it is still in danger to go back now, why not wait here for another ten and a half days?" If you go back in a month, do you think your majesty will capture the rebels?"
King Heng: "..."
If I go back ten days and a half later, I won’t even be able to drink the soup!
Maybe His Majesty has been killed, and Prince Gong has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and then I will really have no choice but to hang out on this island until I die of old age!
