While stroking the wine glass with his fingers, Xiong Qi was a little unsure of the reliability of Gu Xun's words.
Although he now feels that not a single word of Gu Xun's words can be believed, is not worthy of belief, and should not be believed, but regardless of Gu Xun himself, the analysis of these words is still very reasonable.
A person who only knows how to save and beat people becomes Fusu's teacher, and his role is probably limited to that.
Of course, Xiong Qi can't leave Gu Xun behind, not to mention that even if he leaves Gu Xun behind, Ying Zheng will still be there.
He told Gu Xun before that he didn't understand Ying Zheng, which was obviously nonsense. He knew his cousin and brother-in-law too well - Ying Zheng had always disliked knights who used force to break the ban. No matter how strong Gu Xun was, it was the most important to Ying Zheng.
That is to say, it is a useful one, and it is impossible to treat him with the courtesy of a national master, even if Gu Xun may have saved his life.
There must be a deeper hidden secret.
However, it cannot be judged that Gu Xun's analysis is wrong. After all, real problems are not judgment questions. Either wrong or right. Just because Ying Zheng has a deeper intention does not mean that he cannot also use this to put a protective shield over Fu Su.
.
What Xiong Qi needs to figure out now is what Gu Xun's most important role is for Ying Zheng. Needless to say, he has been inquiring about this all the time. At present, he has only confirmed that it seems to be the same as the Yin Yang family who has recently begun to be valued by Ying Zheng.
Some connections.
Also, if Teacher Gu Xun’s identity is really to protect Fusu, why?
Gu Xun's nonsense made Xiong Qi very upset.
Everything sounds complicated, but the thought flashed in Xiong Qi's mind for only a few breaths. In the eyes of others, he just thought about Gu Xun's words for a moment, and then replied with a smile:
"The National Preceptor's inference makes some sense, but he is too self-effacing. How could the king regard you as a mere guard? There must be someone more important."
Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, not commenting on this, but suddenly he looked around and said:
"By the way, His Majesty has not established a queen yet. I wonder if Mr. Changping knows some inside information?"
"This..." The sudden turn of events made Xiong Qi hesitate for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before replying, "This matter of establishing the queen should be left to the mother..."
Just when Xiong Qi wanted to say that this was something that the Queen Mother should worry about, he remembered that the Queen Mother Zhao had been left in the cold palace by Ying Zheng, so she changed her words and said, "It should be decided by the clan and the king. I am the right minister at any time, but I shouldn't interfere too much."
of."
Gu Xun took a sip of wine and sighed with a villain's tone, "Having said that, the matter of establishing a queen involves the position of the crown prince. This is a major matter of the country. As the head of the officials, Lord Changping must pay attention.
!"
Xiong Qi's eyes swayed, and he glanced at Gu Xun with a suspicious look - this guy suddenly got involved in the prince's affairs, could it be possible... that he still intends to join hands with me to plan Fusu's future?
From this point of view - Xiong Qi's thinking has diverged again - although Gu Xun has been cheating him just now, isn't this his personal style? It's not necessarily that he is hostile to himself, but he is just a little too domineering and egotistical.
, joining forces... is not impossible, this was his original intention of inviting Gu Xun to win over him.
Facts have proved that as long as you dare to think, the consequences will be disastrous. Xiong Qi is a living example.
"What the Imperial Master said is reasonable. Of course I have also paid attention to this matter. However, the clan has repeatedly mentioned the matter of establishing a queen. Even the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have tried to persuade the King, but the King refuses to agree. No one can
There's nothing we can do." Xiong Qi's face turned redder after thinking about it, and his mood obviously improved a lot, but he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said because of this. His words were still conservative and did not go beyond the duties of a courtier.
"Haha..." Gu Xun pretended to smile when he heard this, "Isn't that enough? His Majesty's attitude is already very clear. He has aspirations for the world and obviously has not married anyone from the royal family of the Six Kings of Shandong.
I mean, if that’s the case, the position of queen should just remain empty.”
"Anyway... isn't it good that this seat is vacant?"
As long as there is no queen, there will be no legitimate son, and without a legitimate son, Fusu, the eldest son who has a close relationship with Gu Xun and Xiong Qi, is the best candidate for the crown prince.
Xiong Qi understood this logic very well. Unless the queen was the princess of Chu, it would be best for him not to have a queen.
Similarly, in his opinion, it is reasonable for Gu Xun, as Fusu's teacher, to hope that Fusu will be crown prince.
There's just a little bit of disharmony.
"National Master, I remember that you are also the Crown Prince and Tutor, right?" Xiong Qi asked abruptly, pretending to be an old and forgetful man.
As the crown prince and tutor, Gu Xun, no matter who the prince is, seems... he will not suffer any loss?
Gu Xun glanced at him and responded with the same meaningless words, "Fusu is a good boy. I like this boy's innocence very much. He is also willing to get close to me. Just like Changping-kun said before, the two of us
From now on, move around more."
Xiong Qi understands, or is self-satisfied.
Without a prince, the prince's tutor is just an empty title that can be removed by Ying Zheng at any time. Moreover, even if he really becomes the prince's teacher, how can he guarantee that the prince will be close to him?
In comparison, Fusu, who has determined that his master-disciple status cannot be changed and whose relationship has become closer, is more suitable for investment.
Xiong Qi, who has worked with Lu Buwei, is also very good at business planning.
"Qi Shen takes it for granted."
………………
After lasting for more than an hour, the farce finally came to an end, and the ending was a happy one for both the guests and the host.
Although the brothers Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun had a lot of questions and a hard job, they still got closer to Gu Xun and laid the foundation for cooperation.
Not to mention Gu Xun and Yan Lingji, they got the advantage for nothing and even acted like a monkey, just two words - happy!
There was one thing that Yan Lingji was dissatisfied with - in order to try to make her expression look normal, she struggled to hold back her smile, and her face became a little stiff.
Rejecting Xiong Qi's suggestion of arranging a carriage to send the two of them back, the two strolled home just as they had come, planning to find some food to fill their stomachs on the way.
"Shopkeeper, why do you always lie to that guy? Are you interfering with his thoughts?" Yan Lingji couldn't help but asked curiously on the way.
She knew that Gu Xun was basically talking nonsense to Xiong Qi the whole time, but she didn't know why.
Gu Xun glanced at her sideways and asked, "What is my relationship with him?"
"Uh... the enemy."
"Then it's natural for me to lie to him?" Gu Xun rolled his eyes and replied.
"So, just to play with him?"
"Maybe it will be of some use, but it won't mean much. In Xianyang, with Ying Zheng suppressing him, he won't be able to make waves after all." Gu Xun didn't finish his sentence and answered ambiguously.
"Okay..." Yan Lingji accepted this easily.
The most common thing Gu Xun does recently is to fool people, and he has long been used to it.
