Wang Yu, the chief eunuch of Prince Xiang's Mansion, appeared out of nowhere with a summons. It can be seen that he has been paying attention to what is happening here, and he has never gone far. He has the consciousness of being a slave. "Nuo."
Wang Yu left Prince Xiang's Mansion, holding Prince Xiang's order in his hand, divided his men into two, and headed straight for Shi Mansion and Zheng Mansion.
Seeing that there was a curfew in the city, the guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion hurriedly hurried and finally found Zheng Qi before the night was closed. As for Shi Zitong, he heard from his family that someone invited him to drink wine that night, so he never came back. He must not be here tonight.
I know which shepherd I want to spend the night with, and I'm afraid she won't show up until daybreak.
Zheng Qi was well-behaved. After being found by the guards of Prince Xiang's Mansion, he changed into some decent clothes and went straight to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Zheng Qi was once one of the famous talents in Daliang City in his early years. However, because he was unruly and had high aspirations, he only wanted to be an official in the court and was unmoved by other forces' solicitations, and even made sarcastic remarks.
, as a result, even though he is in his thirties, he still achieves nothing.
Until a while ago, he was drinking in a restaurant. Because he had no money to pay for the drink, he had a quarrel with the store owner. Shi Zitong happened to be drinking there at that time, so he rescued him and later recommended him to King Xiang.
After experiencing all kinds of life, the corners of life have long been smoothed out. Zheng Qi, who had to bow to reality, was like finding a life-saving straw in life, and he held it tightly. When he saw King Xiang, his posture
He kept it very low, showing great respect. Not only that, he also maintained enough respect for other people in Prince Xiang's Mansion, especially the eunuch chief Wang Yu, and he was very favored by chief eunuch Wang Yu.
Zheng Qi, who has experienced too many things, knows very well that some people may not be able to achieve success, but they can definitely do bad things if they want to. Even so, those villains cannot offend, they can only make friends and not go.
Just have a heart to heart.
It happened that the leader who came to Zheng Mansion was Wang Yu. Along the way, Zheng Qi tried to please him in every possible way and said all kinds of nice things, and finally figured out what was going on. When he heard that King Xiang was having fun, he was interrupted by Han Ce, so
After getting angry and throwing Staff Han out of the house, he started to have a plan in his mind.
Since becoming King Xiang's staff, Zheng Qi has money in his hands. But he did not use it for eating, drinking and having fun like Shi Zitong did. Instead, he bribed some people to help find out the news. Compared with Shi Zitong's timely enjoyment
, he will never be so short-sighted, what he wants is more money and more power, which requires him to work harder now.
Speaking of Zheng Qi's goal, that is to become the chief staff member of King Xiang, and eventually make King Xiang inseparable from him. When that time comes, the power and money mentioned above will naturally come to him in a steady stream.
Even if there is a group of people under his command, of course they have learned about Shen Ao's return to Daliang City. But he doesn't know what happened next for Shen Ao. For example, whether he won a battle or lost a battle, or whether he won a battle or lost a battle.
When we met in the palace, His Majesty said something and so on.
Because he didn't know this, Zheng Qi didn't go to Prince Xiang's Mansion like Han Ce to report. In his opinion, with Han Ce and an old man like Shi Zitong who had been with Prince Xiang for many years there, even if he wanted to report,
It's not your turn.
When I was thinking about these things, I had already arrived in front of Prince Xiang's Mansion. The team sent to look for Shi Zitong was already waiting here. As soon as he saw Wang Yu, he stepped forward to report that Shi Zitong had gone to eat some flower wine and was not there.
In the mansion, seeing that the curfew is right in front of me, it’s hard to go looking for it.
"Forget it, you can't find it if you can't find it. After all, Mr. Zheng is here, everything will be left to you, no problem." Wang Yu was full of good impressions of Zheng Qi. Feeling that this person was very good at life, he wanted to help him
An opportunity for him to perform meritoriously.
Wang Yu can serve King Xiang comfortably, and his mind is not that of an ordinary person. He naturally sees Zheng Qi's desire to get ahead, but he has never had a chance to show it. Now that King Xiang is summoned, he can meet him alone. If he behaves well,
Now, wouldn’t it be a time to deepen the impression and gain favor?
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your help. I know how to do it now." As he spoke, Zheng Qi took two steps forward, came to Wang Yu's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Thank you.
Manager Wang, there will be a generous reward tomorrow."
"Haha, are we all doing things for Prince Xiang? Come, come with me to see the master." Wang Yu was very satisfied with Zheng Qi's knowledge. He just laughed, and then led the people straight to Prince Xiang's palace.
Go to the meeting hall.
King Xiang was sitting on the main throne in the palace, with his right hand stroking his forehead, looking drowsy.
He had been playing a little crazy these past few days. After taking a break, he felt a little tired and wanted to take a rest. However, Han Ce suddenly jumped out, making him a little uneasy. He wanted to send someone to take Han Ce away.
After getting it back, I felt that I couldn't save my face, so I simply sent someone to Zhuan Shi Zitong and Zheng Qi to hear what they had to say.
If it is confirmed that nothing happened, then Han Ce came to seek his own happiness. King Xiang must show his displeasure. He was also thinking about how to punish Han Ce when nothing happened, so that he would know that being a slave is enough.
Just when he was about to act like a slave, the eunuch chief Wang Yuqing walked in. "Master, Mr. Zheng is here."
"Yes." Prince Xiang, who was confused, agreed, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Zheng Qi followed Wang Yu into the palace, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said with seemingly sincerity: "I would like to pay my respects to His Highness Prince Xiang, and wish the master an early success and great pride in the world."
"Oh, haha, get up quickly." No one wants to hear something nice. King Xiang's eyes lit up after hearing Zheng Qi's words, and he became much more energetic. Only then could he see clearly that only the one kneeling in front of him was
Zheng Qi was alone, and Shi Zitong did not come.
"What's going on?" He looked at the manager Wang Yu on the side with doubtful eyes, and there was a trace of unhappiness in King Xiang's eyes.
"Master, Mr. Shi went to have some wine, and the people below couldn't find him for a while." Wang Yu explained continuously, but why wasn't he giving Shi Zitong eye drops?
Relying on the favor of King Xiang, Shi Zitong rarely put other people in his eyes. Think about it, he is a person who even looks at Han Ce with displeasure, how can he put a eunuch like him in his eyes?
Wang Yu was confident that he had the favor of King Xiang and would not put other people in his eyes. He had long wanted to rectify Shi Zitong's arrogant attitude. It was a pity that he never had the chance. Now that he has found the opportunity, how could he not participate in the previous one?
This principle.
Wang Yu had taken eye drops and wanted to ask his master to punish Shi Zitong to prevent him from being too arrogant. But this scene fell in Zheng Qi's ears, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He wanted to become King Xiang.
The chief staff not only has to deal with Han Ce, the current chief staff, but also Shi Zitong, who is also a stumbling block.
Although Shi Zitong is not as old as him, he has followed King Xiang for a longer time and is more trustworthy. If this stone is not moved away, he may be able to achieve his goal. Now that he heard Wang Yu's words, he
You can feel his dissatisfaction with Shi Zitong, and he thought that this might be an area that could be exploited.
The two people below had different thoughts, but King Xiang didn't think too much about it. Hearing that Shi Zitong went to have some flower wine, he just laughed and said: "He is a real man. Haha, that's all, let's not mention him.
.Zheng Qi, do you know what big things happened outside today?"
King Xiang said that Shi Zitong was a real man when he went to eat in the shower. This gave him a suitable reason and excuse to play with the women in the palace. This answer made Wang Yu's eyes darken, and he knew that this
I'm afraid it won't work if I try to trouble Shi Zitong once.
Zheng Qi, who was asked, did not put his mind on this. Instead, he thought carefully and organized his words before slowly raising his head and looking at King Xiang and said: "Nothing big happened, it's just
When the city gate was approaching in the evening, Duke Zhongguo returned to the city."
"Nothing big happened. Duke Zhongguo?" King Xiang's expression was unremarkable before. He thought that nothing big happened, which meant that Han Ce was deliberately disturbing his elegance and should be scolded. But then he heard the name of Duke Zhongguo.
At this moment, the whole person couldn't help but stood up immediately.
In fact, the name of Lord Zhongguo Shen Ao left such a deep impression on Prince Xiang that it was engraved in his bones and became a nightmare-like existence that he could not get rid of.
Prince Xiang's sudden move made him sober instantly, and there was even a trace of fear in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, he was still looked at by Zheng Qi who was paying attention to him.
.
Zheng Qi's time with King Xiang was still too short. He was not clear about some of the things that happened between King Xiang and Shen Ao. Although he had heard that the two were not getting along before, it was even said that King Xiang suffered a loss at the hands of Duke Zhongguo.
, he just took it as a joke.
Are you kidding? The loyal Duke seems to be still a young man and has not yet been crowned. He is just a hereditary Duke. What qualifications does such a person have and what ability does he have to embarrass King Xiang?
I am afraid that I will offend King Xiang, so I can deal with this person with just a casual word and a flick of my finger.
For example, there are rumors that King Xiang suffered a loss at the hands of Duke Zhongguo. It must be someone spreading lies. They are jealous of King Xiang's power and want to discredit it. He would not really believe it.
But now after seeing a flash of panic in King Xiang's eyes, he also thought in his heart, what is going on? Are the rumors true?
How could a young prince of the state be afraid of Prince Xiang, who was most likely to become the crown prince of Daqian? What was there that he didn't know about?
Not to mention the ever-changing thoughts in Zheng Qi's mind. Let's just say that King Xiang was completely awake at this moment, and he kept mumbling, "He is back, is he back?"
