Ge Min set out from Prince Qi's Mansion with the secret message in his hand, and was indeed not stopped by the guards at the door.

However, there are several tails hanging behind it.

Apparently, those were the ones spying on him.

Ge Min naturally saw this, but since the King of Qi asked him to deliver the message from the main gate, he thought that he was not afraid of others knowing the news, so he went directly to Liu Shi's residence.

After mentioning his name, Ge Min quickly entered Liu Shi's mansion.

Liu Shi, courtesy name Zizhen, was born in Gaotang County, Pingyuan County. He was the fifth son of Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty, Liu Jin, and the successor of Liu Shou, King Hui of Jibei Province.

Although Liu Shi is a descendant of the Han clan, the times have changed a long time ago. Not to mention a Han clan, even a Cao Wei clan is worthless in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Shi was born in a poor family, but he had a clean moral character, was eager to learn and was tireless in learning, and finally understood the ancient and modern times.

At first he entered Luoyang as a planner, and was transferred to Henan Yincheng. Later he was transferred to Shangshulang, Tingweizheng, Libulang, and was granted the title of Xunyangzi.

After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, he passed through the ranks of Shaofu, Taichang, Shangshu, etc., and was promoted to the title of Bo.

It can be said that Liu Shi was a trusted minister around Emperor Wu of Jin.

When Du Yu conquered Wu, he served as his own official and also served as the Zhennan Military Division.

Originally, Liu Shi had a brighter future, but unfortunately Liu Xia was convicted of taking bribes and was dismissed from office.

Later, he was appointed as the minister of wine for the prince of the country and a regular attendant on horseback.

In the early years of Yuankang, he was promoted to the title of marquis, gradually promoted to crown prince and Taibao, and was added as a minister. He was promoted to Youguanglu doctor, opened the Yitong three divisions of the government, and was also the governor of Jizhou.

It is a pity that although Liu Shi is the crown prince's guardian, like most people in the prince's uterus, he is not trusted by the prince.

Fortunately, Liu Shi and Jia Nanfeng were not close, so the emperor also allowed him to serve in Shangshutai. However, being Shangshu Zuopshe, under Wang Yan, was originally an insult.

Of course, with King Zhao as his companion, I'm afraid this insult can be regarded as not being lonely.

Sima Yu is the crown prince, and Liu Shi is definitely not one of those happy people.

According to his qualifications, he is more than enough to serve as a minister, not to mention a minister of the Shangshutai.

Historically, in the ninth year of Yuankang, he did achieve the position of Sikong.

"Mr. Liu."

Under the leadership of Liu Mansion's servants, Ge Min quickly met Liu Shi.

Liu Shi's temples are gray, but he is not weak, but has a strong and old look.

When he was young, I am afraid that Liu Shi was also skilled in martial arts.

"You are King Qi's lieutenant, what are you doing in my house?"

It is of course a very unwise choice to have a relationship with the King of Qi now, but Liu Shi has an old relationship with Ge Min, which is why he met Ge Min.

"I have a letter from King Qi, and I am sending it here all the time. Of course it is a bit presumptuous, but..."

Letter from King Qi?

Liu Shi's brows immediately wrinkled.

"I won't read the letter from King Qi."

Ge Min showed a wry smile on his face and said: "The King of Qi is ambitious. I have already resigned from the official position of Zhonglang in the palace. In the future, I will have little to do with the King of Qi. I am sending this letter to you."

The last thing King Qi did."

"The King of Qi was originally a benevolent man. He didn't want to get the throne. Since he was red-eyed, when he entered Luo this time, he did nothing that a minister should do. He pressed on step by step. If it weren't for His Majesty's great determination,

Du, I’m afraid everyone’s head has already fallen to the ground by this time.”

After saying that, Liu Shi glanced at Ge Min again and said: "I have no communication with King Qi, especially now that King Qi is under house arrest by His Majesty in Prince Qi's Mansion. You'd better take this letter back."

"this..."

Ge Min had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he still stuffed the letter he took out of his sleeve back.

It is indeed a bit harmful to send a letter back at this time.

Moreover, even he didn't know what the content of the letter was, so it was inappropriate to give it to Liu Gong like this.

I had no choice but to send this letter back to Prince Qi's Mansion.

pity...

The last thing he did for King Qi was not accomplished.

King Qi treated him well, so Ge ​​Min still felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Let's not talk about this for now. When you entered Luoduo, you didn't even come to visit me. Now that you have the opportunity, we can discuss literature together."

Ge Min is no longer a member of King Qi. Although he has a letter from King Qi in his hand, if he doesn't read the letter, nothing will happen to him.

"Then respect is worse than obeying orders."

Since we can't do business, it's good to do some personal things.

....

The two tails behind Ge Min watched Ge Min enter Liu Shi's mansion. One of them immediately turned back, entered the palace, and immediately saw Hua Heng.

Commander Hua is also a special being in the palace.

After all, he also has some royal status and was previously a member of the royal family.

"Commander, the lieutenant of the Prince of Qi's Palace, Ge Jing, has entered Liu Shi's residence."

Ge Min.

Liu Shi.

Hua Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the original palace lineage, he was considered to be highly valued by the emperor. After all, he held half of the palace guards.

But Hua Heng knew in his heart that the identity of the commander of the imperial guards in the palace was not due to the emperor's approval, but because of his wife, Princess Rongyang.

It turned out that the Langya Wang brothers and Wang Dun Wang, who were members of the Taigong family, were highly valued by the emperor, and both of them entered important positions in the Tai Pavilion.

As for the one who was most valued by the emperor, of course it was Marquis Guangyuan.

Whether it is a royal marriage, the title of founding lord, or the honor of being a regular knight.

What others may never get in their lifetime, Marquis Guangyuan got it all without being crowned.

Hua Heng has always wanted to express himself, but in the palace, there are few opportunities to express himself, but now, this is obviously a good opportunity.

King of Qi.

Your Majesty wants to deal with it quickly.

Now the king of Qi's minister, Zhonglang, went to see Liu Shi.

Who is Liu Shi, a big boss in the imperial court, and Zhang Hua who lives in the northern suburbs of Luoyang? In terms of qualifications, they are not much different.

And he is now considered an important minister of the Taiwan government.

This is big news.

If done well, it may be a great achievement.

"Well done, go back and monitor Ge Min to see when he comes out. If he comes out, follow him all the way."

"promise."

Seeing Hua Heng looking happy, the clerk was also very excited.

If he can curry favor with Hua Heng, he will surely prosper.

In the Taiji Hall, the emperor was reviewing memorials as usual.

Hua Heng's eyes turned rapidly at the entrance of the palace, thinking about how to speak after entering.

"Commander Hua, Your Majesty has invited you."

The official's report came back and immediately brought Hua Heng back to reality.

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Hua Heng entered the palace and immediately saw the emperor kneeling on the throne.

"I heard that you have news about King Qi, please tell me."

Sima Yu looked at Hua Heng.

He has always looked down upon Hua Heng.

However, Huaheng is not without its advantages.

His advantage is that he is timid.

How can a person be so courageous if he is even afraid of his own wife?

Such a person, given a hundred courages, he would not dare to do anything rebellious. This is why Sima Yu handed half of the imperial guards into his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have just reported to you that the lieutenant of the Prince of Qi's Palace, Ge Min, went to see Shangshu Zuopu She Liu Shi. The two of them stayed in the mansion for an hour and have not come out yet."

"Um?"

Sima Yu frowned.

Liu Shi, of course he knew.

The prince's Taibao.

Back then, he was always asked to review his studies and would come to test him every few days.

He respected Liu Shi, otherwise he would never have placed him in the position of Chancellor if Liu Shi was so prosperous before Empress Jia.

But now it seems that Liu Shi...has betrayed his trust?

"Is this true?"

"Really."

Sima Yu stroked his chin with his hand, seeming to be thinking.

"His Majesty."

While the emperor was thinking, the chief minister also spoke up.

"Um?"

Sima Yu had a look of confusion on his face.

"Your Majesty, Liu Shi and Ge Min have an old relationship. Could it be that they are just friends?"

Any old ones?

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Hua Heng.

Sweat immediately broke out on Hua Heng's forehead.

"Your Majesty, you are just visiting a friend. How could you come out of Prince Qi's Mansion and walk towards Liu Shi's Mansion?"

Sima Yu nodded.

What Hua Heng said was not wrong.

After thinking for a while, Sima Yu said: "Send some unrelated people to kidnap Ge Min and question him secretly."

King Qi is now imprisoned in King Qi's Mansion. It's no wonder that his subordinate officials dare to do things in his face.

"promise."

Hua Heng was overjoyed.

He knew that the emperor was finally persuaded by him.

I hope this incident becomes a big deal.

It would be best if we could really uncover the evidence of King Qi’s rebellion!

Hua Heng is full of hope.

If this is the case, he will be a great hero in this battle. Perhaps the one your Majesty will rely on most in the future will not be Marquis Guangyuan, but him.

"Then I resigned."

Hua Heng retreated slowly, then led a group of his guards to change their clothes, and then left the palace.

All the way to Liu Shi's mansion, Hua Heng immediately saw the clerk again.

"Is Ge Min coming out?"

"Commander Qi is still in the mansion."

Hua Heng nodded slightly and looked at the sky. It was already afternoon.

I hope this Ge Min visitor will not stay overnight, otherwise he will be in trouble.

Hua Heng was quite patient and waited quietly.

It's a pity that there are no restaurants or bars in Zhuque Street, otherwise we could just have a drink and wait.

The taste of drinking northwest wind is not pleasant.

About half an hour later, Hua Heng's clerk suddenly became excited.

"Commander, that Ge Min is out."

When the little official said this, Hua Heng immediately perked up.

"Do it!"

Without further ado.

It's too late, but it's soon!

A group of people swarmed outside Liu Shi's house, and within a moment they knocked Ge Min unconscious with a sack and put him inside.

...

Phew~

A basin of cold water was poured on Ge Min's face, which immediately shocked him.

On such a cold day, pouring a basin of cold water on your body is not a pleasant feeling.

"ah!"

Ge Min trembled all over and was immediately awakened.

As soon as he woke up, Ge Min was stunned by the scene in front of him.

A wooden donkey full of spikes, a stick...

Only in the end did Ge Min realize that he was being tied up.

After reacting, he was filled with anger.

"Who are you and why do you dare to kidnap me? Don't you know that I am from Prince Qi's palace?"

Even though he resigned from Prince Qi's Mansion, only Prince Qi's power can control these young people now.

"Ge Min, stop shouting."

"Who are you?"

Hua Heng was dressed in a luxurious robe, and his words and deeds were full of nobility, making him a noble person at first glance.

"Hua Heng."

Hua Heng also does not hide his identity.

Ge Min was stunned for a moment and said: "You are Hua Heng, you are His Majesty's man, His Majesty asked you to arrest me?"

Hua Heng nodded slightly and immediately took out a letter in his hand.

When Ge Min saw the letter in Hua Heng's hand, his face panicked, but he quickly calmed down.

"What are you doing?"

"Whose letter is this to you?"

Ge Min said: "King Qi?"

"King Qi?"

Hua Heng sneered and said: "This is not a letter between King Qi and you. This is a letter between Liu Shi and King Qi. Where is the letter from King Qi?"

Hua Heng's words confused Ge Min.

"This was originally a letter between King Qi and me. Now the envelope has not even been opened. How could it be written by Duke Liu to King Qi?"

Hua Heng's eyes turned cold and he said: "I think you, Ge Min, are determined not to die until you reach the Yellow River. Someone is here."

Hua Heng roared angrily and said: "Go to Xing, I want to see how tough his mouth is. Remember, don't let anyone die. After I go to the palace, I must know his confession."

"promise!"

The clerk nodded heavily. This was his opportunity to show off, and he naturally had to seize it.

Hua Heng left the narrow prison, took the envelope in his hand, and quickly headed towards the palace.

The so-called spring breeze brings joy to horses' hoofs.

The biting cold wind sliced ​​across his face like a knife, but at this moment, Hua Heng actually felt that the cold wind was very comfortable.

The journey was smooth, and Hua Heng soon met the emperor in the Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Liu Shi has indeed communicated with the King of Qi. This is a letter Liu Shi wrote to the King of Qi. The content in it is very unworthy. Liu Shi has earned your Majesty's trust in vain."

Sima Yu frowned. He looked at the letter in Hua Heng's hand and still didn't believe it.

Liu Shi...

Why don't you do something like communicating with the King of Qi?

As an important minister in the Taiwan Cabinet, he should understand his thoughts best.

Phew~

Sima Yu felt a little heavy in his heart, but he still waved to the chief minister and said, "Bring the letter here."

The chief minister nodded slightly and stepped forward to take the letter from Hua Heng's hand.

After receiving the letter, Sima Yu opened it expressionlessly.

After seeing him without a cup of tea, Sima Yu's complexion turned dark.

"good!"

The emperor gritted his teeth and twisted the letter in his hand into a ball of paper.

"What a great Liu Shi, what a great minister in the court!"

Sima Yu's eyes were filled with fire.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get angry."

The chief minister quickly knelt down.

Phew~

Sima Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"According to this letter from Liu Shi, it seems that the King of Qi not only informed Liu Shi, let's go and see who else is colluding with the King of Qi."

"promise."

Hua Heng backed away slowly.

"Your Majesty, Liu Shi is a close minister of the Crown Prince, why do you want to communicate with the King of Qi?"

"He feels that the position I gave him is too low, and he wants to curry favor with the new master."

"Maybe it's King Qi's plan?"

Sima Yu glanced coldly at the chief minister, who shrank his neck and stopped talking completely.

"This handwriting is indeed Liu Shi's. It seems that I am too kind to these ministers!"

Why!

Sima Yu shouted in his heart.

Why are these people forcing him?!
Chapter completed!
