Chapter 168: Outside Zhaoyin's house in Xinjing, the New God's Capital City
, King Yuan looked as usual and walked out of the yard with steady steps.
The chief steward of Prince Yuan's Palace came towards him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Steward Li drank too much tonight and fell into the Grand Canal. He died." "
Steward Li is a member of my palace after all. He will be buried generously and his family will be given three hundred dollars as a gift." Two pieces of silver."
"Yes."
"Let me ask if any of the great fortune-tellers I know have time in the near future."
"Yes."
Xuanxiufang, Li Mansion.
As the sun shone in, Li Qingxian opened his eyes in a daze, thinking about some random things, and stayed in bed for a while before slowly getting up.
After walking out of the house and carrying the basin towards the well, Zhou Chunfeng and Song Yunjing sat in the yard chatting, Zhou Hen stood aside, and Han Anbo and Yu Ping stood at the gate.
"You're so lazy that you can't afford to bask in the sun." Zhou Chunfeng said with a smile.
"Even lazier than my Bai Ge." Song Yunjing said with a smile.
"I'm usually very diligent, but I've been too tired these days," Li Qingxian looked serious, and then shouted to the door, "Really, Brother Han!" "
You are always like this too." Han Anbo said casually.
Everyone smiled.
Li Qingxian glanced at Han Anbo angrily, washed his face, and sat down next to Zhou Chunfeng.
Zhou Chunfeng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Tang Enxuan committed suicide by drinking poison."
Li Qingxian was stunned and looked at the two of them in disbelief, both of them looking calm.
"No way. I thought about many possibilities, and even prepared for a counterattack by Prince Yuan's Palace. Why did he die? This... Prince Yuan is so cruel!" Li Qingxian quickly guessed the biggest beneficiary.
"Yesterday Yun Jing and I talked about this before going to bed. We both said that Tang Enxuan would definitely die, but we didn't expect it to be so soon." Zhou Chunfeng glanced at Li Qingxian and poured Li Qingxian a cup of tea.
"Are you noble people so cruel in heart and so dark in hand?" Li Qingxian never expected this ending.
Song Yunjing said: "There was supposed to be a big show this morning, but King Yuan was pleading guilty, and no one in the court mentioned what happened yesterday. I couldn't even hand over my memorial." Li Qingxian sighed: "Jiang is still
old He's really hot. It's really unusual for someone to survive that battle. The emperor will definitely compensate him, right?" "
Let him lead two battalions, and bury Tang Enxuan as a prince." "
It's over, there is such a little thing If I am cruel, the emperor will definitely hate me. That's all, I am not a flatterer." Li Qingxian shook his head and sighed, but he was thinking about new self-protection strategies in his heart.
Zhou Chunfeng said: "Young Master is pretending here. Don't worry, this matter will not make you hate the Emperor." "
I don't believe it." Li Qingxian thought about how to resolve this matter.
Zhou Chunfeng said: "Get ready, the emperor is going to transfer the Night Guard, the Military and Horse Division and the Shendu Mansion Office to rebuild the New Shendu Division, a semi-independent night guard, under the jurisdiction of the inner factory." "For what?" Li Qingxian asked
.
"Clean out the demons and monsters in the Divine City. If successful, spread it to other places and rebuild the New Night Guard." Zhou Chunfeng said.
Li Qingxian lowered his head and pondered, while Zhou Chunfeng and Song Yunjing looked at him with smiles.
After a long while, Li Qingxian raised his head and asked, "What other big moves are there?" Zhou Chunfeng raised his chin to Song Yunjing and said, "In a few days, your uncle Song will take over as Jing Zhaoyin." Li Qingxian's eyes lit up, Jing Zhaoyin was a genius
. The highest official in the capital, who holds the same position as ministers of various ministries, cannot be held unless he is a close associate of the emperor. .
"Congratulations to Uncle Song on his promotion." Li Qingxian said.
Song Yunjing shook his head and said: "I would rather serve as the third envoy or even the prefect in several states in the south of the Yangtze River than wade in the muddy waters of the capital city. This city is no better than other places. It is intricately connected. I have never been in charge of a state government, so I am afraid I will not be able to do so. No arrest."
Li Qingxian said: "Don't worry, with Uncle Zhou here, plus you have such a good relationship with Zhao Shoufu, be careful and operate slowly, with your ability, you will definitely control the entire divine capital very quickly."
"Of course the literary cultivator gives me face, and the puppet cultivator usually doesn't fight for it. But which one is easy to get along with, the clan, the demon sect, the Taoist sect, the evil sect, or the martial arts cultivator?" "It is the duty of a minister to share the emperor's worries
. , As long as we do what the emperor wants to do, why are we afraid of those people?" Li Qingxian said.
"What you said, Gong Shangjiao and Zheng Yu are all ready, are pleasant to the ears." Zhou Chunfeng said.
Li Qingxian smiled nonchalantly and said, "I haven't congratulated Uncle Zhou yet. The new Shendu Si Yicheng, your status has gone up." Zhou Chunfeng shook his head and said: "The emperor strives to clarify the world. Starting from the Shendu, he will make great achievements.
I After all, I am a literary cultivator. After the transition, I will transfer the new Shendu Division to the martial arts cultivator. I am going to recommend Song Yanxue to Your Majesty. She has a straightforward temperament and is very suitable for the new Shendu Division." "Ah? What about you?" "Don't
worry
. , I have a lot of places to go. The worst I can do is go to the Shendu Mansion and become a prime minister, working under your uncle Song."
"Great talent but little use." Song Yunjing said.
"The Prime Minister of Shendu is a fourth-grade official, two levels higher than the fifth-grade official of the old Shendu Secretary." Zhou Chunfeng said with a smile.
The three of them talked about official matters for a while. Li Qingxian thought of Jiang Youfei and said, "Uncle Zhou, has something happened to Sister Youfei?" "Isn't it because of you? That child looks soft and weak, but in fact she is strong inside. I saw you yesterday
. You were wronged, so she went straight to Prince Yuan's Mansion, and under the guise of using martial arts to make friends, she even deposed seventeen people in Prince Yuan's Mansion, including a third-grade martial arts cultivator. If Tang Enxuan's death had not involved military affairs and the clan's reputation, this matter would have happened long ago. It spread like wildfire." Zhou Chunfeng said.
"Ah? Sister Youfei is so fierce?" Li Qingxian's eyes widened, imagining the scene of Concubine Jiang Youfei stepping into Prince Yuan's Mansion in a white dress and killing all the masters with an ancient sword.
"Shouldn't you be grateful that the young concubine is so kind to you?" Zhou Chunfeng said.
"Fighting against a third-grade martial arts cultivator, she won't be injured, right?" Li Qingxian asked.
"She didn't say it, but there must be some minor injuries. After lunch, go back to Shendusi, and I'll send someone to deliver some healing medicine in your name."
Li Qingxian took out a small porcelain bottle with a red stopper and cloud pattern from the Qiankun bracelet. He tilted it to reveal the red seal on the bottom of the bottle and said, "This is the secret treasure of the Danyuan Sect. I will send it to you in person soon and thank you in person." "You
. You can't leave the city for these two days, so stay in the city honestly." Zhou Chunfeng took the small porcelain vase.
"That's right, Prince Yuan will never let me go." Li Qingxian sighed.
"King Yuan is a man with a very deep city. He was too young and fledgling at that time. To protect himself, he first attached to King Qing, and later joined King Qing to join Jinshang. Once he has great power, he will not use childish methods like Tang Enxuan for the time being. You may be right, but I will never ignore you. With Prince Yuan's temperament, he will most likely incite others to deal with you, and he will never come forward." Zhou Chunfeng said.
Song Yunjing said: "King Yuan will not let you die, but he will definitely prevent you from being promoted, so be prepared."
Li Qingxian nodded.
Zhou Chunfeng thought for a long time and said: "The words given by the emperor will slowly spread, and it won't take long for Wen Xiu's pent-up anger to be resolved. By then, you can do nothing but be careful. I originally thought I will take you to Prince Yuan's Mansion to resolve the matter, but once Tang Enxuan dies, I have no choice but to give up." "
I will be careful," Li Qingxian said.
