Chapter 85
After coming out of the palace, two rows of tall sycamore trees shaded the sun, bringing a hint of coolness to the hot late summer. Chen Qi felt extremely comfortable in his heart and grinned unconsciously. Xiaokang had been waiting by the roadside and kicked his feet onto the carriage.
Xiaokang shook the whip, "Young Master, why are you happy?"
"We want money for big things, hehe."
Chen Kang touched his head and said strangely, "Didn't we be rich long ago?"
"Let's go to Chengnan Hotpot Restaurant", Chen Qi snapped his fingers and ordered.
After more than three years of traveling, the situation has been calm and the Qin Dynasty is still stable, without strong winds and waves. The business of several stores with their own shares in the south and north of the city is getting better and better. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has also changed its previous appearance. Chen Qi sends a lot of things to his two brothers every year, and even his father is walking outside, his neck is hard.
It turns out that the protagonist's fate is smooth. Grandpa said it was walking on thin ice, father said it was internal and external troubles, eldest brother said it was a troublesome, only the second brother was as heartless as himself, the situation was not very serious. The old man was favored by the previous emperor, and now the emperor Fu Rui was even more commensurate with his brothers. After traveling through time, two helps, one came with Xu Ban, and brought everyone to worship without saying anything. Secondly, the resources left by the original mother were really good. The Mohist family, a scientific family that has been passed down for thousands of years, can't do anything. When Donglin gets it again, there is territory, he studies agriculture and food, and launches a scientific revolution in Donglin. The Chen family wants to recreate yesterday's glory in his own hands. It is not a dream. Grandpa must be very relieved. To put it more deeply, it is not just a recreation of glory. All empires from ancient times to the present cannot compare to Donglin who is dominated by him.
Chen Qi was thinking about how Donglin should develop, and it was rumored that his uncle Chen Fanglie was a good player, and he had a plan for governing the army or the local government. As a descendant of the Chen family, will he be rejected by himself? Or Fu Rui planned not to break the inherent framework and establish a new system, and it is best to establish a new system.
Dong Lie is in a hot pot restaurant. Behind the hot pot restaurant is the base camp of Dong Lie's Pisces Gang, which is a stone's throw from Furong Garden. Chen Qi always said that Dong Lie can choose places, and every place is very noble, and it is difficult not to become famous. Dong Lie always smiles like an honest person.
The hot summer just faded, and the hot pot restaurant business was not good, and there was no table. The waiter lay listlessly on the counter and was dozing off, sweating stuck to his head. When he saw Chen Qi coming in, he woke up cleverly, and laughed, saying that Boss Dong was by the lake behind. Chen Qi smiled at him and walked straight in, walked along the pebbly road to the lakeside. From a distance, he saw Dong Lie open his clothes and lying on the rocking chair in the shade of a big tree and blowing the lake breeze. The fan in his hand fell to the ground at some point, with his mouth wide open, and his snoring sounded like thunder.
Chen Qi picked up a pot of wine by the table, poured it into Dong Lie's big mouth, Gu * rubbed it, and the wine flowed down the corner of his mouth, covering up the snoring. Dong Lie coughed violently, sprayed the wine from his nose, and started to shivering, patted his chest repeatedly, pointing at Chen Qi, "You little bastard, cough cough, see how I dealt with you later."
Chen Qi was slightly above Dong Lie at this time. He squatted on the table and held the banana fan he had just picked up, and smiled, "Brother Lie, this is a good wine, bamboo leaves, you can't waste it."
Dong Lie turned over, wiped the wine and sweat from his face, sprinkled his body on Chen Qi, and then rubbed his feet and sat on the rattan chair, "What wind has blown you, what's the point? I've become more and more like the six kids over the years."
Chen Qi took the wine pot and flicked his can and went into his mouth, "You can't come without the wind. Tsk, you're tasteful. I thought it was bamboo leaf green with ice." After saying that, Gudong Gudong poured the sour plum juice from the wine pot into his mouth.
Dong Lie hurriedly jumped up from the rattan chair and snatched it, "I said, leave me some things in the big room, I'll just have a pot of it."
"Come on, you, there are so many stingy people on the pier." Chen Qi picked up the bottle and poured it down quickly. He looked at Dong Lie with a smile. Dong Lie was very upset with the empty bottle he had grabbed, "If I had known you were coming, I would have drunk it first."
"Brother Lie, the big business is coming," Chen Qi squatted on another rattan chair and said with a fan.
Oh. Dong Lie is interested. The performance Chen Qi has given him over the past three years is not something that ordinary young people can show. No matter how they use means or how they look, they are very experienced in many business matters, and the big business he says is definitely not ordinary.
Dong Liegang showed an interesting expression, then frowned and complained, "Sanlang, we are short of manpower now and it is difficult to expand. If you really want to have a big business, do you think you will use the people in Xiayunling to use it?"
Chen Qi shook his head, "They are not business materials, and they cannot be overused."
"Then I won't participate," Dong Lie leaned on the rattan chair and squinted his eyes like an old fox.
"Brother Lie, do you have any questions about what those people do? Do you have to pull them out?"
"It's a troublesome time, keeping it is a disaster. Don't blame your brother for not reminding you."
Dong Lie has always had a keen sense of smell. There is something in this sentence. Chen Qi thought. Is someone in the court eyeing his Xiayunling?
"Don't worry, Brother Lie, I have my own arrangements."
Chen Qi knew that Dong Lie never joked much, and even joked, it had a bit of real meaning. Maybe Dong Lie was old and didn't want to make trouble anymore, and had no greater ambitions. He felt that guarding Chang'an was enough. He seemed to be joking that I would not participate, but in fact he really didn't want to participate. After a few greetings, Chen Qi said goodbye and left.
As soon as Chen Qi left, Dai Lang emerged from not far away and sat upright next to Dong Lie. Dong Lie glanced at him and shook his head and said, "Be free and easy, this is not the court, you are sitting so straight, and you are not afraid of heat."
Dai Lang Xiaoxiao didn't respond to this topic. He looked at Chen Qi's back and said, "Brother Lie, do you really want to cut it so cleanly with Sanlang?"
Dong Lie pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Little Wolf, if you don't cut, the young master will be implicated, and we can't save it. The movements in the court are clearer than me. If you can't see the situation clearly, the emperor will be the one who can't see the situation clearly."
"Don't Sanlang understand it either. I really think that the emperor is in power and everyone in the court is at his mercy."
"It's not that he doesn't understand, it's because he's blinded. So many people in the court are cooperating with the emperor to act, how could he see that?"
"Brother Lie, isn't it a bit unauthentic? He knows it but doesn't remind me?"
"I have reminded him to see if he can understand it. In short, we must separate the relationship between the Young Master and Saburo. It is best if there is nothing wrong. Once there is something wrong, we must not be involved."
Chen Qi didn't hear this conversation, and he didn't agree with it. Except for Pan Xing, the five important officials in the court were all officials of the noble faction. Fu Rui had the help of the new party school, and what he did would not go against Fu Rui's ideas. Dong Lie was too worried and lacked motivation.
At least one month after the national mourning, Chen Qi was so angry that he simply hid in Xiayunling and stopped coming out. He followed Qiu Shi and discussed the art of the mechanism with the Gongshu brothers. The Gongshu brothers' profession, and suddenly he lost Qiu Shi. Chen Qi was surprised to say that the Mo family's Gongshu were not the two giants, why are you so different? Qiu Shi smiled bitterly and said that the Mo family had long been divided into two rows of north and south, Nan Mo only learned martial arts, while Bei Mo inherited the art of the mechanism.
The Gongshu brothers did not know that the prince was assassinated. That day, they only carried out the orders issued by their superiors. During the chat, Chen Qi knew that they were under the Feiqiu Guard, the guards formed by the emperor himself, and the leaders always carried a mask. Except for the emperor, no one had seen the commander of the Feiqiu Guard. The order he gave was the order issued by the emperor.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Qi was silent. It turned out that the so-called assassination was just a play directed and acted by the emperor. The purpose was to keep the prince. It was just a coincidence that the Shangyuan came from. After a long time of investigation, it was not found out. Combined with the past two years of life, perhaps it was the new party school's plan to fuel the emperor's emperor's plan, which made the prince really die. It was said that the Shangyuan was a clear-cut platform, but even the emperor was dead at present, which only shows one thing. The Shangyuan had long supported Fu Rui.
As he thought about it, Chen Qi's sweat penetrated his shirt. No wonder the eldest brother kept him away from the prince. The eldest brother was the sensible person.
On September 16th, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Fu Rui ascended the throne ceremony. On the same day, Fu Zhongming and Donglin arrived in Ding, and returned to the court. The ministers set the national name for next year, Qixing, and another major event occurred in the court, and no one expected it.
