Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Second State Affairs
This is Xu Bai's man, and he showed his determination to kill Qi Wu for the first time.
Moreover, the words were so light and so natural that they said this humble young man. Qi Wu suddenly realized that he was afraid that from the moment he had a murderous intention to kill Xu Bai in Shandong, Xu Bai was afraid that he had no intention of letting him go.
No matter how hard you make or even let the other party suffer such a big blow in his career, the other party's original intention at the beginning has not changed. If it weren't for such a sum of money that kept hanging on the other party, maybe the other party would have already broken up and used any means without caring about it.
The humble young man left. He came here like this, as if he was telling Qi Wu that he should not make these unnecessary resistances. He was working hard to make up for this money. Perhaps he could choose a more decent way of dying, and not involve his family.
Qi Wu was very unwilling to accept it. No one would be willing to face such a death threat, let alone before, when facing Xu Bai, he still faced it with a victorious attitude. Suddenly, when he found that his victory in the officialdom could not change anything, it is conceivable how big the psychological gap was.
He will not sit still and wait for death, absolutely not!
The other party still won’t give up, and there will still be a group of boot-lossing ghosts following him every day, but he no longer cares about these things. When facing the choice of life and death, things like face are actually not that important.
No one knew what Qi Wu had experienced during this long night, but as soon as the sky was dawn, he dressed neatly, ignoring the Xu family servants who followed him, and slowly leaving the house.
He headed towards the East Palace.
The Xu family's subordinates followed him were a little confused at first, but they still followed the mansion's instructions and followed him in an instant. However, when the outline of the East Palace slowly appeared in front of them and someone spread the news that the East Palace was in front of them, they began to hesitate a little.
All kinds of flags that might be hindered were put away, and the distance between them and Qi Wu was slightly raised. They were no longer so sequels, but as long as Qi Wu was within their sight.
In the entire capital, these servants had no fear of anything, but there were two places where they did not dare to act wildly.
Imperial Palace and Eastern Palace.
Even if it is a matter of something, their master did not explain anything to them in advance.
Qi Wu didn't care about their actions at all. He walked to the door of the East Palace. He faced the gate of the East Palace and knelt down straight.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the officials entering and leaving the East Palace saw the official wearing official uniform kneeling here without exception. They were not sure about it and were talking about the matter.
After all, there are more officials in the East Palace and their eyelids are mixed. Finally, someone recognized who the person who has been kneeling here is. So, the news slowly spread in the East Palace. When the officials who came and went to see Qi Wu, they couldn't help but show contempt on their faces.
Although some officials who were too angry did not act excessively, they had already entered the East Palace. After hearing the identity of the man outside, they walked out of the palace gate, spat hard in front of Qi Wu, and then left again.
For officials of the Eastern Palace, this time, the imperial court impeached Xu Bai with such a large formation, and Xu Bai lost his post and resigned, this was not only a frustration, but also a shame. Even though they did not like this commander of the Jinyiwei who fought and killed, they were not very fond of it, but it is undeniable that Xu Bai was still a general in the prince's camp.
They can despise Xu Bai, or even exclude Xu Bai, but it is not enough to exclude and suppress Xu Bai from other forces. They target Xu Bai, just target them, officials of the Eastern Palace. This time, Xu Bai was demoted, for all of them, they were slapped.
Although we cannot be prosperous together, we can be hated together.
The culprit of this matter was kneeling at the gate of the East Palace at this moment, how could they have a good color for each other to show?
No one has come to investigate, I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional. Even the news that Qi Wu was kneeling in front of the East Palace did not reach the prince’s ears. At a certain point, the news was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.
Even Xu Bai knew the news earlier than the prince.
"What did you say yesterday? Did you scare him?" On the way from the warrant factory to the East Palace, Xu Bai asked Wang Zhi next to him with a strange look: "He made such a fuss, I'm afraid that the whole capital will know about this until night. He is raising a problem for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Maybe I was talking a little heavier last night!" Wang Zhi replied with a smile: "Didn't the lord say that he scared him and asked him to ask his master for help? How could I know? He turned around and ran to the East Palace. What is he trying to do?"
"What can I do? I just want to save myself!" Xu Bai snorted: "What did he think? I guessed it roughly. Instead of letting me have no way out, it is better to surrender to the prince directly. As long as the prince speaks, his life can be saved. This is a good plan!"
Wang Zhi was stunned, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and he slapped his thigh: "So this idea!"
Seeing the door wall of the East Palace from afar, Wang Zhi hesitated a little: "Sir, what should I do now? Should I take the person away? If we take the person away directly, will it make people say that the prince has no tolerance!"
"Look at the prince's meaning first, just don't let someone contact him!" Xu Bai looked at the lonely figure kneeling there from afar, and snorted softly: "I'm going to ask for the prince. Without the orders from the prince and me, don't let anyone talk to him!"
Wang Zhi nodded and went up to meet him with the people.
Qi Wu heard the footsteps behind him and turned his head slightly. Xu Bai's eyes just looked at him. The two of them met in the air. This was the first time they met since they parted in Nanjing. When they parted in Nanjing that day, no matter which of them, they probably didn't expect that the two would meet again would be in such a situation.
Looking at Xu Bai's figure and sank into the palace gate, Qi Wu withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes, and turned a deaf ear to everything around him again.
Walking into the East Palace, along the way, nodded with the familiar guards. At the corner of a corridor, Xu Bai bumped into Shen Yun, who was in a hurry.
"Go to the post!"
Shen Yun pulled Xu Bai and said softly: "What happened to Qi Wu? The news has reached the prince. The prince is asking me to send someone to find you!"
"This matter is a long story!" Xu Bai shook his head: "Before I came, no one would have asked him!"
"Who wants to get involved in such a mess!" Chen Yun sighed: "You said, why didn't I understand it at the beginning? Is he such a thing?"
"It's good if not!" Xu Bai nodded: "I don't know how many people are staring at our East Palace. After he kneels down, the news will definitely not be stopped. You can control the remarks of the people in the mansion. There is no order from the prince. No one is allowed to make a guess, so as not to let people take advantage of the issue!"
"I understand!" Chen Yun nodded and pointed to the depths of the East Palace: "The prince doesn't seem to be in a good mood..."
Deep in the East Palace, Zhu Jianshen had just moved his hands and feet in the courtyard. He was taking the towel handed over by the palace maid and gently wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
Beside him, Qin Ji smiled: "The prince's skills are getting more and more agile. Look, even the guards can't pick out a few who can become the prince's opponent!"
"Which guard dares to fight me!" Zhu Jianshen glared at Qin Ji in anger: "It's just stretching his muscles and bones. When he is bored, according to Xu Bai's teaching, this kind of punching is much more comfortable than hitting a few gadgets!"
"Crown Prince, don't worry about this matter. How many national affairs do you have to deal with every day? If any cat and dog run to our East Palace gate and kneel down like this, the prince will be bored, and he will not be able to live a life!" Qin Ji said with a smile: "Or, I will take someone to drive that guy away so as not to get annoyed there!"
"You have to go to such things. I keep the people in the war factory doing what they do!" Zhu Jianshen shook his head: "Why haven't Xu Bai come yet?"
"I've seen the prince!"
Xu Bai's figure appeared from the corner and came towards this side.
"Just talking about you!" Zhu Jianshen frowned: "What's going on outside? Did you make it?"
"I really didn't expect this matter, but I found out that there should be more than one person behind Qi Wu, so I have put a little pressure on him recently, wanting him to show some mistakes. I didn't expect this person to suddenly do such a ridiculous move!"
"Didn't this matter tell you to temporarily slow down?" Zhu Jianshen stared at Xu Bai: "What is your top priority in the factory? Don't you know?"
"This is the primary matter of the Investigation Factory!" Xu Bai raised his head: "I have always kept your highness's instructions in my heart, and I didn't even plan to make things difficult for the time being. As long as he spit out the corruption money he had when he was appointed!"
Xu Bai said softly: "Your Highness, if you don't start from these corrupt officials, you won't lose money from this sky. There are hundreds of people in the war factory, and you are not good at merchants!"
"Take this man away!" Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment and said with a little dissatisfaction: "He cannot die. No accidents are allowed for officials involved in impeaching you. Disputes in the court must be resolved in the court, and state affairs cannot be neglected!"
"yes!"
Xu Bai nodded and said yes. Zhu Jianshen turned around. Seeing that he hadn't planned to leave, he looked back with some confusion: "There is something else?"
"If possible, I still hope that the prince will meet him. Not only will he meet him, but the prince would better go out in person and invite him into the Eastern Palace at the gate of the Eastern Palace?"
"Xu Bai!" Zhu Jianshen snorted heavily: "Are you teaching me to act?"
"Don't dare!" Xu Bai lowered his head: "I just said that there is more than one person behind this person. Today he came here because he forced him too hard. He was thinking of saving himself. This means that he determined that the people behind him would not save him or could not save him. The prince was his only life-saving straw. At this time, the prince gave him a little courtesy, not only to completely separate him from the people behind him, but also to all officials. The prince Xu Ruohuaigu is tolerant. Even a person like Qi Wu, as long as he sincerely regrets, the prince can accept him!"
"I won't accept this kind of imperial borer!" Zhu Jianshen said fiercely.
"That's not the prince's business, that's his business!" Xu Bai smiled: "The prince can tolerate others, but this person is capricious, with both ends, that's because he has a problem with his character. There are naturally loyal people around the prince who see through the other person's true appearance and expose the other person's dirty thoughts. At that time, it wouldn't be a matter of course to deal with such a person!"
"Can you say this?" Zhu Jianshen thought of Xu Bai's words and nodded slowly. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Bai with some surprise: "You can have such a view. It can be seen that you are not a person who only knows how to fight and kill. Why do you always make such a big noise every time you send out to do things, and you will still make bloody storms every time?"
"I used to have a subordinate, nicknamed "Surprise people with reason"!" Xu Bai thought for a while: "I think he is better than me, so after I learned this lesson, I plan to learn from him. In the future, I will never do anything that can be spoken. I will never use a knife. In this way, I will probably not be so hateful to ghosts, and the whole court will be full of enemies!"
"Saying people with reason?" Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Bai with a strange expression: "It seems that the investigation factory will have to find you a few more scholars in the future!"
"Hahaha!" Xu Bai smiled, but he didn't accept Zhu Jianshen's words.
"Qin Ji, go see this guy and ask what he wants to do!" Zhu Jianshen turned his head: "I'll invite him to my Eastern Palace. Does he have this fate? Just go there! Also, since you are the one in the investigation factory to do this matter as a top priority, you can go together!"
He looked at Xu Bai with a smile on his face: "If you want to see my mind, you can see it from you. It is useless to deliberately avoid suspicion. It is better to just appear openly. As for whether you are convinced by reason, you can do it!"
Qin Ji and Xu Bai watched the prince walk into the room. They looked at each other and walked out.
"Eunuch Qin looks good recently, and it happens that I have something to ask Eunuch Qin to do a favor!" Xu Bai said to Qin Ji with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, you'll be out of here!" Qin Ji grinned.
"It's nothing big. It's your nephew Qin Baihu. When I was in the Nanzhen Fushi Department, I was very optimistic about him. I was determined to call him to the factory for the war, but I was afraid that he would be wronged. Eunuch Qin, please tell me if I can help him with it. "
"Mr. Xu is very optimistic about this child Yuanyuan. This is a good thing!" Qin Ji smiled happily: "But, is there a place for him at the Imperial Service? He is a hundred households, so it's not easy to arrange it!"
"He comes, of course he has a seat!" Xu Bai smiled and said, "There are ten foremen in the Imperial Service Factory, but there are only two in charge of the squad. I think it is actually quite good to add another one!"
"Okay, then Lord Xu, please discipline this child for me. If you make a mistake, don't give me face. Those who should be punished must be punished..."
