Huang Fei is a person with a relatively complicated identity.
He was working as an internal guard, and he was receiving high-paying royal food from the Holy Emperor. However, he was like Xianyun Yehe and never did anything, just like a soy sauce little gangster.
Especially, after he became the shopkeeper of Wenxiang Pavilion, his identity became more complicated, giving people the impression that he was a big businessman who could be either black or white.
In fact, not only is his identity special, his style is also very different from ordinary people.
Let's just say that in the past few years, he has never returned to the capital to report on his work. He has always been hanging out in Nanyang, and he is not ordinary carefree.
You know, the emperor's secret order to him was to spy on Qi Yu, but in reality, this guy used one move to take advantage of both sides. He did not offend anyone in public or private affairs. It was simply worse than the pebbles on the edge of the river bed.
Even more tactful.
On the surface, Huang Fei is indeed very carefree.
But in fact, he was more frightened than anyone else.
reason?
Without him!
It's because he knows too much.
You see, the death of Princess Sichuan and the death of Prince Yong, none of these are absolutely correct secrets? According to conventional logic, such things cannot be told to outsiders even if they are rotten to the core.
It’s not a good thing to know these secrets!
However, the most terrible thing is that this old Huang once witnessed the Holy Emperor stabbing King Yongchuan to death. Do you think he can live with peace of mind as the only witness at the scene?
What if the emperor suddenly became jealous, wouldn't he have to go to see King Yongchuan in advance?
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and there should never be any carelessness in something like this.
The best way is to stay away from the Holy Spirit as much as possible and never see the power of God.
It was precisely based on this consideration that Huang Feicai stayed in Qiongzhou instead of returning north. Not only that, he also started a harmonious Tai Chi fight with the capital.
In terms of effect, it's pretty good.
In the past two years, I have never written to ask about anything from the capital. It seems that I have forgotten my existence.
But who would have thought that just when Huang Fei was secretly rejoicing, a letter suddenly came from the north.
Do you think this is a shame or not?
In the secret order, the emperor asked him to investigate the truth of some things as soon as possible and respond.
details as follows:
The first thing is to ask him to truthfully report the comprehensive military strength of the Qiongzhou Prefecture Army. This is an important matter and must be rigorous and accurate.
Through this incident, Huang Fei has already seen that after defeating Franji, the emperor has become wary of Nanyang's military strength to a certain extent. Although this wariness is not very strong, it can be very strong.
It well reflects the emperor's mentality.
This matter is not difficult to handle. Just give him a discount and show it off. Is it possible that Mr. Yuan Yun would come over to see it in person?
This matter can be passed.
Let’s look at the second thing.
Gee, it seems a bit difficult to handle.
I asked, is there a girl named Li Qing in Qiongzhou?
To be honest, Huang Fei knew very well that Qi Yu was currently doing his best to protect this poor ill-fated child. If he really told the truth, he would probably offend Qi Yu and eventually make him a human being.
In this case, why not play a side game?
For example, after investigation, it is confirmed that there is no such person, but there are such rumors vaguely circulating, and it is still unclear whether it is true or false, and so on.
Well, this method is perfect, so let’s do it.
Huang Fei smiled and continued reading.
However, I saw that at the end of the secret letter, there was also this sentence: Be sure to investigate Qi Xiaotong in detail and make a detailed reply later!
Huh?
Why did the emperor get into trouble with this little girl?
Is it possible that the old man has the idea of accepting her into the palace?
hey-hey……
Huang Fei muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly thought: Qi Xiaotong is a Lu-level untamable horse. If he wants to be her darling, it will not be as simple as pouring water on him...
However, everyone has their own preferences for radishes and greens. Maybe this is the one we like today?
Alas, forget it, this kind of thing is beyond our control. Since he means to ask, we can just tell the truth.
Perhaps, because of Tong Yanhuo's remaining fear, Huang Fei did not dare to look down upon Qi Xiaotong, who was his disciple.
When replying, he did not hesitate to praise Qi Xiaotong and highly praised Qi Xiaotong's amazing martial arts skills.
He also made a special comment, saying: This woman is brave and extraordinary, and it is as easy as picking out a bag to take the head of a general among thousands of troops...
Little did Huang Fei know that his unintentional comment shocked the emperor in the temple.
Originally, Li Liangji was wary of Qi Xiaotong, but now that Huang Fei was complimenting him, how could he not be more afraid?
This is something to talk about later, so I won’t mention it now.
Just talking about Huang Fei, after he finished replying to the Holy Inquiry, he bought a bunch of gifts to meet Qi Yu early the next morning.
He felt that as far as the emperor was concerned about Nanyang, it was necessary to give him some warning. It would be a bit unreasonable to hide it and not mention it.
Mr. Qi is very kind to me, so how can I not want to repay him?
"Don't you scholars often say that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind? Since this is the truth, why not cover up the slight edge at the right time? If you can do this, you will definitely benefit greatly in the future."
"Thank you, Brother Huang, for reminding me. Qi is very grateful.
People in the Ming Dynasty don't need to explain in detail. Qi Yu only took a brief look and understood the meaning of his words.
From this point of view, the emperor was more or less wary of himself.
However, his reaction is normal. Which emperor throughout the ages has not been like this?
To put it another way, how to properly handle the relationship between the center and the localities has always been the top problem that the temple kings are most worried about.
Talented people must be reused, but they must also be guarded and must not be allowed to run wild.
This degree must be set appropriately, otherwise, it may be self-defeating and make you become a true loner.
Putting himself in his shoes, Qi Yu naturally has his own opinions.
For the sake of objectivity, he also asked Duan Zicheng specifically. Duan had served as a second assistant in the Central Committee, so he at least had a good perspective.
Mr. Duan believes that Qiongzhou is the southernmost territory of Dafeng State. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even if the armed force is strong, it cannot threaten the status of the capital.
Therefore, the emperor should not be too sensitive to this. In contrast, he may be more concerned about Qi Jing's power.
On the side of the couch!
Qi Yu strongly agreed with this point of view, and at the same time, he secretly felt a cold sweat for his brothers in the north.
After drinking tea for a while, Huang Fei said goodbye. He was really embarrassed to bother other people's homes too much during the Chinese New Year.
However, just after walking out of the door, he turned back and said: "Master Qi, we seem to have some considerations for your eldest lady today, and I hope you will pay attention to this."
Consider?
What is the test?
Qi Yu was stunned at first, and then said: "Brother Huang, did you hear something?"
Huang Fei hesitated for a moment and replied: "The emperor secretly ordered me to secretly observe the specific situation of your daughter. I don't know its purpose... I still don't know."
In fact, it's not that he doesn't know, but that he doesn't dare to speak without evidence.
If you anger Mr. Qi, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?
Qi Yu thought for a while and said: "According to my guess, His Majesty must have been interested in Xiaotong's military talents, so he collected relevant information." After a pause, he added: "You know, the land of Dawan is...
She took it back with one hand. How could His Majesty not be curious after learning about it? Therefore, there is no need to make a fuss about this matter."
