Qi Xiaobai came to the Jixia School Palace alone.

Qi Xiaobai came to the room where Shusun Tong was working alone, and Uncle Sun Tong had not come back yet, Qi Xiaobai walked in and looked at the books on the table.

Shusun Tong is also a generation of Confucianism anyway, he likes to read, his table is full of Confucian books, Qi Xiaobai picked up a book and read it, this is a book about the royal road.

Qi Xiaobai looked at it seriously and looked at what the royal way was and how to practice the king's way.

Qi Xiaobai looked at it for a long time, and then he heard a voice outside the door, Qi Xiaobai knew that this was Shusun Tong coming, after Shusun Tong walked in, he looked up and saw Qi Xiaobai sitting there, he trembled, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down, Qi Xiaobai waved his hand and said: "Don't kneel, it's just the two of us here, no need for so much etiquette!" ”

"Your Majesty is so late, what are you here for?" Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"Let me ask you, how has Qi Fei been learning under you recently?" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and asked.

Shusun Tong was stunned when he heard Qi Xiaobai asking Qi Fei, his head was very flexible, and he could guess what Qi Xiaobai was going to do at once.

He was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Qi Fei didn't learn very well, the old man taught him, he couldn't teach him, he didn't have any imperial qualifications, and the minister felt that teaching him was wasting the minister's time......" Shusun Tong said a lot of Qi Fei's bad deeds, and if he didn't listen carefully, he was simply a gentleman's second ancestor.

Of course, after Qi Xiaobai heard these bad deeds, he also knew that these were all said by his uncle and grandson, and his uncle and grandson informed him of what he wanted, and he began to say something.

Qi Xiaobai smiled at the corner of his mouth after hearing this: "Uncle Sun, you are really a smart person!" ”

"How can this Qi Fei, with such qualifications and such a stubborn character, be an emperor? Now the ministers are talking about him being the prince, and the widow actually wants to make him the prince, but after listening to what your teacher said, this matter of the widow needs to be carefully considered! ”

"Although the widow has only one son, but the widow is young, and it is not a problem to want several sons!" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and said.

Shusun Tong clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, as a courtier of the Qi State, it is necessary for the minister to talk about this matter, and the Qi State cannot be allowed to go astray!" ”

"Uncle Sun Tong, you should also know about the affairs of the court, do you really dare to say it?" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and Sun Tong's eyes and asked.

Uncle Tongqi Xiaobai knows that this is a person who is exquisite, always only on the side of the winner, and if there is a slight unfavorable situation, it is possible to betray the other party.

For Shusun Tong, Qi Xiaobai doesn't trust him very much from the bottom of his heart, after all, he has ten lords, how can this make people believe?

However, Tian Ji asked Qi Xiaobai to find Uncle Sun Tong, so naturally this Uncle Sun Tong could help him solve this matter.

Qi Xiaobai took a deep breath, valued Shusun Tong, and waited for Shusun Tong's answer.

Shusun Tong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister only stands on the side of the winner, this is what Your Majesty knows, the minister follows the ten lords, and these ten lords, at the moment of defeat, the ministers have already left, and now the minister is willing to stand beside His Majesty, that is because His Majesty is the victor!" ”

"And the minister alone can't control the situation in this court, but the minister believes that His Majesty will be the ultimate victor!" Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"Oh?"

"There are not many people in the DPRK who think that I am the ultimate winner, but they all think that I am a loser, why does your uncle Sun Tong think that I am the winner?" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and grandson Tong and asked with a puzzled face.

The people in the court are basically persecuting Qi Xiaobai to establish the eldest son, as long as it is a slightly smarter person, it can be seen that Qi Xiaobai is not willing to establish the queen and the eldest son as the prince.

The people who can stand above the court are basically smart people in Qi State, it can be said that they can see it, but they are not willing to support Qi Xiaobai, it can be said that they all think that Qi Xiaobai is the ultimate loser, and Liu Ruoqing is the winner.

Of course, there are exceptions, Tian Ji and Zou Ji are neutral, and they do not support either side.

And although Shusun Tong can participate in the cabinet, he is the steward of the Jixia School Palace, sacrificing wine, and looking at his extraordinary status, but Liu Ruoqing's faction does not value this person.

Although Shusun Tong's status is very high, he doesn't have any actual power, so it's normal that he is not a target for wooing.

Uncle Sun Tong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, they are obsessed with the authorities!" ”

"The reason why they support Liu Ruoqing is nothing more than that Zhang Tianshang and Guan Zhong support Liu Ruoqing, the two most powerful people support, of course they think that Liu Ruoqing will win!"

"But Your Majesty, whose Qi country is the Qi country?"

"Is it Liu Ruoqing's Qi country? Or Your Majesty, the Qi family of the Qi family? Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.

Qi Xiaobai smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Of course it's the widowed Qi country, the Qi country of the Qi family!" ”

"In the Qi Kingdom, Your Majesty is the most powerful person, and Lord Wei Dexian is Your Majesty's henchman, and the people of the secret guard are in the hands of Your Majesty. Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Shusun Tong is a very smart person, he saw this matter from the beginning, in fact, it is all in Qi Xiaobai's hands, no matter how much Liu Ruoqing makes trouble, he can't make trouble in Qi Xiaobai's palm.

What about Guan Zhong's support? What about Zhang Tianshang's support? They don't have the core thing that can be used to seize power, 'military power'.

The military power of the Qi State is in the hands of Qi Xiaobai, even if they do not have the military power, they do not even have the secret guard, the secret guard is not only the spy agency of the Qi State, but also the internal security agency of the Qi State.

If you want to seize power and there is a coup d'état in the palace, the secret guard must master it, or buy a part of it.

But Liu Ruoqing didn't do it, the power of the secret guard was in the hands of Qi Xiaobai, and the people of the secret guard did not dare to betray Qi Xiaobai.

The two core things are not in his hands, and he wants to wrest power from Qi Xiaobai, isn't this just a fool's dream?

Of course, the reason why Liu Ruoqing doesn't care about this idea has a lot to do with Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong is the representative of the family, and Guan Zhong is also one of the participants in the original reform.

It is also Guan Zhong's participation that the family can be retained, otherwise, there may be no family in the Qi Kingdom, but later Qi Xiaobai also discovered the usefulness of the family.

After all, the children of the family received much more education than the children of the common people, and there were still many high-level talents from the family.

And the family has a high sense of honor, but the scholars do not, what the scholars lack is a sense of honor, they will do whatever it takes for the purpose, Guan Zhong prevented Qi Xiaobai from abolishing the family, and later Qi Xiaobai was glad that he did not abolish the family.
