"The Sixth Prince was sent to Fujian by the Emperor and also went to Shunchang where Zhao Rushu is located?"
Qin Shaobai was as surprised as he had guessed about the mysterious middle-aged man.
He had just seen Song Ci and wanted to tell Song Ci about the middle-aged man.
But now it seems that the Sixth Prince's trip to Shunchang is the most important thing.
"Yes, he left in a hurry. He was almost ordered to leave immediately. The Sixth Prince was not even allowed to go back to the mansion to take care of things. The people following him, except Fei Yu, were all personally sent by the emperor."
Song Ci nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "I think this may have something to do with Zhao Rushu's case."
Qin Shaobai quickly told the story of Liu Xi's suicide in prison, Seven Eagles' attack at Wangxiang Tower, and Zhao Rushu's visit to the government office to settle Liu Xi's assassination case.
"If Shi Miyuan really wants to give you such a good step down, then there is only one possibility. He wants to win over you and make you a member of their group."
Qin Shaobai jumped up immediately: "Master Song, why did you say this so smoothly? Do you also think that I have been too polite to Shi Miyuan these days, so polite that you misunderstood that I wanted to join Shi Miyuan?
ah?"
Qin Shaobai's veins jumped when he said these words. Obviously, he was very excited and angry.
Even if he doesn't like history, he knows very well who Shi Miyuan is.
Even if he, Qin Shaobai, is timid and fearful, he will not join the ranks of that generation of traitorous ministers.
What's more, with his awe-inspiring righteousness, I really wonder if Song Ci's eyes have been damaged recently, so she would have such a view of him.
He thought it was somewhat possible that he would kill Shi Miyuan in this life and help Zhao Bai raise the banner of the Northern Expedition again, thereby changing the future of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing Qin Shaobai panting with anger, Song Ci quickly held his hand: "Shaobai, others may misunderstand you, so how can I not understand you? I know that you can't get into the tiger's den with this move.
How can you catch tiger cubs?"
Song Ci's use of this idiom made Qin Shaobai really dumbfounded.
However, he understood that Song Ci would never regard him as an enemy, and he was actually very excited.
Who would have thought that Song Ci would say something bold again, "However, your flattery these days really makes people feel..."
Song Ci deliberately did not finish his words, but leisurely picked up a cup of tea and pretended to drink tea, but he still could not hide the smile on his lips.
Qin Shaobai cursed, snatched the tea from Song Ci's hand, and drank it himself.
"That's how you are. You always like to say things that people don't understand and do things that people don't expect. This tea is full of my saliva, but you can drink it."
Song Ci looked helpless.
I heard Qin Shaobai tutting and praising: "This tea has been drunk by Mr. Song, and it really leaves a fragrance on people's lips and teeth."
Song Ci really couldn't help laughing this time, pressing her heart and laughing until she couldn't breathe.
"Oh, it would be great if the Sixth Prince were here too."
Qin Shaobai suddenly changed the topic and his expression became solemn.
Song Ci immediately stopped laughing and said seriously: "The Sixth Prince also talked to me about Zhao Rushu's case. He said that he was worried that Shi Miyuan would use this case to make Zhao Rushu stand out."
"Let Zhao Rushu come forward?" Qin Shaobai immediately thought of Shi Miyuan's intention to come to him. Before he had time to say it, he heard Song Ci say again,
"Oh, by the way, Shi Miyuan seems to have written a letter of commendation for Zhao Rushu's performance this time and handed it to Dali Temple. I heard that Xue Ji, the chief minister of Dali Temple, greatly praised Zhao Rushu and said that he must submit it to the petition.
Your Majesty, I strongly recommend Zhao Rushu to be the prefect of Jianning Prefecture."
"You mean, Shi Miyuan has done so many things to pave the way for Zhao Rushu? So that he can take charge of Fujian?"
Song Ci hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "This is a possibility."
Qin Shaobai immediately thought of the temporary court in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wasn't it in Fujian?
However, that will happen decades later. Shi Miyuan should not have the ability to predict the future. Let Zhao Rushu control Fujian first so that when the small court comes in the future, he can monopolize power?
Moreover, it is not so much that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty chose Fujian. It is better to say that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had no other choice. They were forced to Fujian by the Meng Yuan Dynasty and lingered, thinking that the Meng Yuan Dynasty would give up. Who knew that the Meng Yuan Dynasty would not
They were driven directly to Guangzhou, where the Queen Mother and the Emperor all jumped into the sea and committed suicide.
When the history teacher told this passage, he burst into tears and choked several times. Qin Shaobai, who had never liked history classes, had a special impression of the province of Fujian.
Song Ci didn't know what Qin Shaobai was thinking, but she just felt that his expression was strange. Sometimes he was sad, sometimes he was hateful, and sometimes he was full of pity.
However, Song Ci did not have the leisure to study Qin Shaobai's facial expressions now. The purpose of his trip was not to discuss Zhao Rushu.
In Song Ci's heart, Zhao Rushu was just Shi Miyuan's dog. A dog without its owner would be incapable of becoming ferocious and fearful of anything.
Thinking of the look in the eyes of the Sixth Prince before leaving, Song Ci regretted not talking to Qin Shaobai about the business as soon as he arrived.
"Shaobai, we don't have to worry about Zhao Rushu's matter for now. If the imperial court wants to promote someone, it's not Shi Miyuan who has the final say. I'm here this time to tell you about this.
It’s for this letter.”
Song Ci said, taking out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter sent by Feiyu Kuaima, saying that the Sixth Prince found an opportunity to write it on the way to Fujian, and avoided those people.
The Emperor's ears and eyes were given to me by Feiyu Pegasus, and then I gave them to you."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket.
Qin Shaobai took the letter and felt that it was very heavy. This letter was enough to prove the Sixth Prince's trust in him.
When I opened the letter, I found that it was not rice paper but a brocade handkerchief.
The words on the brocade handkerchief were bright red, and a smell of blood came to my nose.
Obviously, this letter was written in blood by the Sixth Prince.
Qin Shaobai originally wanted Song Ci to read the letter together, but Song Ci turned away consciously, picked up a cup of tea, and looked out of the yard.
It seems that the Sixth Prince must have explained that the content of this letter can only be known to Qin Shaobai.
What kind of important news is it that even Song Ci wants to hide?
Qin Shaobai opened the letter full of suspicion.
There were only a few words in the letter: "The wind and rain are falling, I beg my brother to return, and we can shake the mountains and rivers together."
Qin Shaobai was so frightened by these twelve words in blood that he stepped back and almost dropped the brocade handkerchief in his hand.
He quickly grabbed the brocade handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms.
Song Ci did not ask about the content of the letter, but looked at Qin Shaobai quietly, as if he was sure that Qin Shaobai would give him some earth-shattering words later.
"Sixth Prince, he said that he will be out for a long time, so let me take care of myself and don't act rashly."
Qin Shaobai said awkwardly, feeling very uncomfortable.
The person in front of him is the person he trusts most in this world.
Now he was asked to lie to this man.
Qin Shaobai only felt that every lie he told Song Ci was like a thorn piercing his whole body.
"Oh." Song Ci exclaimed, showing no doubt at all.
Qin Shaobai felt uncomfortable in his heart. He really couldn't let himself stay with Song Ci any longer. He was just about to find a reason to send Song Ci out of the government office, but he heard a noise outside the door.
Listening to the voice, it must be Li Xian shouting, and the voice was full of urgency.
In the past few days, the government office had nothing to do. In addition, Li Xiaolin did not want Li Xian to end up in the troubled waters of Zhao Rushu, and wanted Li Xian to go to the Xiaolin Escort Bureau to help.
Li Xian was naturally unwilling, so Qin Shaobai suggested that Li Xiaolin let Li Xian teach the two children Arhat Boxing in the Qin Mansion. At this time, he should be with the two children, so why would he come to the government office?
A sense of ominousness flashed through Qin Shaobai's heart, and he rushed over and asked urgently: "Li Xian, where are the two children? Why did you come to the government office alone?"
Li Xian was just running with his head buried when he was suddenly pulled by Qin Shaobai. He couldn't stop and rushed forward, almost throwing Qin Shaobai out with him.
Before Qin Shaobai could stand firm, Li Xian had already knelt on the ground like a stone, holding Qin Shaobai's hand tightly, "Sir, I, I'm sorry for you."
