Chapter 179: Night Talk in the Courtyard

Seeing that King Qi let him retreat, the Shenyi Wei Baihu glanced at each other, and one of them had already said: "Your Highness, the Governor of Wei ordered ......!" Before he finished speaking, King Qi had already frowned and said, "Governor Wei? It turns out that the words of that old thing are orders, and the words of this king are nonsense, and even you can't support them, yes or no? ”

The two hundred households knelt down together and said in fear: "The little one doesn't dare!" ”

King Qi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly beckoned to a person, the hundred households were a little suspicious, but they still got up and approached the past, and then King Qi lowered his voice and said: "Feng Wuma, this king has something for you to do, can you do it for this king?" ”

Feng Baihu said respectfully: "Your Highness, please command, the little one who goes up the sword mountain and goes down to the sea of fire must act according to orders!" ”

King Qi smiled and nodded, leaned closer and whispered, "You help this king protect Scholar Xu!" ”

Feng Baihu's eyes crossed with suspicion, and the sly color in King Qi's eyes crossed, staring at Feng Baihu, and said softly: "What this king means, do you understand?" ”

Feng Baihu didn't seem to understand, he couldn't be sure, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the scholar has already instructed that the younger two only need to protect His Highness with all their might." On the side of the university scholars, the small ones have been properly arranged, and there are people around to protect them. ”

"It is said that the twelve hundred households of the gods and guards are all talents who are in charge of their own affairs, so that in the eyes of this king, it is really stupid." King Qi sighed, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "You go and help this king keep an eye on the whereabouts of the teacher, he came to Yunshan Mansion and has official business to do, so he will leave here to go out on errands." You remember to Ben Wang, when the teacher goes out, you must find out as soon as possible, and you must find out where the teacher is going and how long it will take to go out......! ”

Feng Baihu understood, and said respectfully: "The little one understands." "Exploring a person's whereabouts, for the Shenyi Wei Baihu, it is a housekeeping ability, although Xu Congyang is a member of the dynasty, his whereabouts are inconvenient to explore, but since it is ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Feng Wuma is naturally respectful to receive the order.

"It's good to understand. But remember, don't let the teacher find out about your whereabouts. Qi Wang Zhengse said: "If the teacher finds out and asks questions, this king can't protect you!" ”

Feng Baihu thought secretly in his heart: "If I really want to follow one person, how can I be discovered?" But his face was very awe-struck: "Your Highness, rest assured, the little one knows what to do." ”

"Now that you know, why don't you go quickly." King Qi waved his hand, and Feng Baihu took the order and left.

The king of Qi said to another hundred households, Li Maotu: "You can just be in charge of guarding nearby, and you don't have to follow this king." Don't say much, followed Sun Desheng to the courtyard where Xingyuan stayed, and saw that no one was following behind him, King Qi whispered: "Sun Desheng, before leaving Beijing, you promised this king that there are fun places to go in this Yunshan Mansion, and you had better arrange it for this king, otherwise don't blame this king for being polite." ”

Sun Desheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, in fact, there are indeed a lot of interesting places in Yunshan Mansion City, but ...... It's just that the scholars are in this courtyard, and His Highness has no chance to go out! ”

"Nonsense." King Qi reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't you hear that this king has sent someone to keep an eye on the teacher's whereabouts?" The teacher came this time, but he had to do a serious errand, and he would never stay in the line all day, as long as he left, we would naturally have a chance to go out. You don't have to think about anything else, just think about where you will play when the king goes out. Raising his head, looking at the night sky of the black hole, he looked relaxed, stretched his waist, and said: "It's suffocated in the palace, this time it's not easy to come out, but you don't have to be controlled by the queen mother anymore." Sun Desheng, how can this king feel that the night sky of Yunshan is much clearer than the night sky in Beijing? ”

Sun Desheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this can never be said, the capital is where the dragon qi is, and there are auspicious clouds in the air that protect the true dragon. ”

King Qi stopped, glanced at Sun Desheng, and said, "Sun Desheng, how did you also learn that set of sycophants?" Listening to your tone, it is like the tone of the old Taoist priest in Si Tiantai. ”

Sun Desheng hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Highness, the national teacher is an immortal who descends to earth to protect the true dragon, and his words are naturally not bad." ”

The king of Qi didn't say much, and went straight to his residence.

……

……

There are many courtyards in the cottage, Xu Congyang's residence is next to the residence of King Qi, it is a rather elegant small courtyard, the snow in the courtyard has already been cleaned, a rockery is quite magnificent, but the snow on the top of the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard seems to be intentionally not cleaned, the small pavilion stores snow, plus there is a small bamboo forest on the side of the pavilion, but there is another artistic conception.

In the inner hall, a charcoal fire has been lit, Xu Congyang has just stayed, Qiao Mingtang ordered the servants here to prepare hot water, and waited for Xu Congyang to wash his face first, and then Xu Congyang changed into clean clothes, and then returned to the hall, and on the table in the hall, there were already five or six plates of dishes, and two pots of wine.

Seeing Xu Congyang come out, Qiao Mingtang immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Scholar, you have worked hard all the way, and you haven't been able to go to the reception banquet arranged, so the lower official has prepared a few side dishes to fill your stomach first!" ”

Xu Congyang bowed slightly, but did not sit down at the table, but sat down on a chair next to him, took out a fold from his sleeve, and handed it to Qiao Mingtang.

Qiao Mingtang took two steps forward, took it carefully, opened it and looked at it twice, and frowned.

"Scholar, this is ...... This is Zhao Guangqing, the governor of Tongzhou, who is guilty of the crime. Qiao Mingtang frowned and said, "He wrote two excerpts, one was presented to the imperial court, and the other was on the side of the lower officials." ”

Xu Congyang picked up the teacup on the case, and the hot tea had already been brewed in it, he picked it up and picked up the tea lid, tasted it, and then said slowly: "Governor Qiao, Zhao Guangqing's excerpt has caused an uproar in the court, he is the governor of your Xishan Road, and he is under your jurisdiction, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Qiao Mingtang observed his words and looked at his expression, and only after a slight sigh did he say cautiously: "Zhao Guangqing said on the excerpt that he used people improperly, did not know people, and Duan Xun, a thousand households in the Tongzhou camp, secretly colluded with the chaotic party to store a large number of weapons and equipment...... Now Tongzhou is making every effort to track down Duan Xun's whereabouts, and the lower officials have also ordered the entire Xishan Road to make every effort to arrest Duan Xun, but those who capture Duan Xun will be rewarded! ”

Xu Congyang said solemnly: "Governor Qiao, this excerpt was sent to the court, there was a lot of controversy, the old man just wants to ask you, what Zhao Guangqing said in the excerpt is true?" ”

Qiao Mingtang thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously: "Zhao Guangqing has great courage, and he must not dare to hide anything from the imperial court......!" ”

Xu Congyang smiled faintly and said, "This official is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I have seen too many officials who deceived their superiors and subordinates. Zhao Guangqing is located in Tongzhou, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what he thinks, I'm afraid it's not so simple as the excerpt. ”

Qiao Mingtang frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Although there were many disputes when this excerpt was delivered to Beijing, many officials still felt that it was better to settle the matter and not expand the matter." Xu Congyang said slowly: "After all, Zhao Guangqing has found out that Duan Xun is the mastermind, and Duan Xun has been wanted with all his might, so it is inconvenient to disturb Tongzhou too much, and there are already officials who have asked the saint to make up for it, and only give a decree, so that Zhao Guangqing can search for Duan Xun and the transferred weapons with all his might, if he can catch Duan Xun, he can make up for his ......mistakes!" Speaking of this, Xu Congyang paused, groaned slightly, and then asked, "Governor Qiao, do you think this will should be made?" ”

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said: "Everything is up to the saint to decide!" ”

Xu Congyang shook his head and said lightly: "The Holy Lord was almost about to issue this will, but he was stopped by the old man's advice!" ”

Qiao Mingtang was stunned.

Xu Congyang said calmly: "The old man thinks that the matter of Tongzhou will not be so simple. The old man even thought that Zhao Guangqing was very likely to be blinded, and Governor Qiao, you, seemed to be blindfolded as well! ”

Qiao Mingtang's body was shocked, and he said solemnly: "The lower official implores the university scholar for advice." ”

Xu Congyang stood up, walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, a gust of cold wind came in from the window, Xu Congyang took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and then said slowly: "There are only you and the old man here, there are some words, the old man might as well speak out!" ”

Qiao Mingtang followed Xu Congyang's side, bowing slightly: "Please teach the boss!" ”

"The old man knows that you and Zhao Guangqing are both from the other side of the East Palace." Xu Congyang's expression was solemn, and his voice was low: "This happened in Tongzhou, you turned a blind eye and did not go all out to investigate thoroughly, just because you don't want the matter to be too widespread, and you don't want Zhao Guangqing to be implicated in this matter." He turned around and stared at Qiao Mingtang with a pair of shining eyes: "There is the East Palace in the court, you are protecting the Xishan Road, and Zhao Guangqing is as stable as Mount Tai ......!" ”

Qiao Mingtang's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Governor Qiao, the party dispute between the DPRK and China, the old man has always been reluctant to ask." Xu Congyang said: "But this time it's not just a matter of party struggle. The Tongzhou matter has already involved the national foundation of my Great Qin, as the governor of Xishan Dao, a big official, you are also quite talented, how can you be confused this time? If the will of the saint really comes down, there is a chance that the affairs of Tongzhou will not be resolved, and the old man is grateful to the saint Long, but he can't sit idly by...... This Tongzhou matter, there are many doubts, and some things are carefully considered, it is really thrilling, linked to what the old man has heard recently, the old man took the initiative to ask for the decree, get the will of the saint, and come to the West Mountain Road to investigate the affairs of Tongzhou, and must make the matter clear......! He stared at Qiao Mingtang with a pair of shining eyes, and asked word by word, "But I don't know if Governor Qiao can help this time?" ”

Qiao Mingtang immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "The university scholar has an order, and the subordinate is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”
