Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

His sudden kneeling, coupled with his old age, scared the people around him.

Qiu Zhi frowned and looked at this 'uninvited guest'.

In the end, he accepted his fate and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Queen." His tone was unfamiliar and not respectful at all.

The emperor's mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly: "No need for formalities, there is no emperor here, only Mr. Li, so let's skip these empty formalities from now on."

Doctor Jin was confused and let Wen Xiuyi help him up, looking at Wen Xiuyi strangely.

Wen Xiuyi made a gesture to him, saying "wait a minute" and winked at the two people next to him.

Doctor Jin looked at the emperor, then at Qiu Zhi, and shut up helplessly.

However, after hearing what the emperor said, Qiu Zhi said directly: "There is a difference between the emperor and his subjects, and etiquette cannot be abolished."

After saying that, he frowned slightly and glanced at the emperor, and said directly: "Your Majesty should be handling government affairs in the palace at this time, why are you here?"

Qiu Zhi did not agree with the emperor's sudden appearance. As a person in a position, he must do his job. As the ruler of a country, how could he act so recklessly?

The emperor was speechless, but he still said with his neck stiff: "I have handed over the government affairs to the crown prince. The crown prince is already an adult, and it is time for him to learn how to handle government affairs. In the future, Annan will still be handed over to the crown prince."

Yes, that's right, he did it to train his son.

Qiu Zhi smiled: "The Crown Prince is only sixteen years old, still young. Your Majesty, do you think that leaving the Crown Prince alone in the palace to deal with those ministers in the court, can the Crown Prince handle it?"

Thinking of those old stubborn people, the emperor frowned slightly. Even he felt annoyed with dealing with those people. Could Xiao Qi really do it?

At this moment, the emperor was somewhat uncertain about what Qiu Zhi said, but he habitually did not want to admit defeat in front of Qiu Zhi, so he said: "As the crown prince, these are what he will have to face in the future. I cannot protect him forever."

Qiu Zhi smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should have taken on the responsibility of being the Son of Heaven. But Your Majesty went out privately just to pursue pleasure. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"

Even if the emperor continued to indulge Qiu Zhi, he would be a little annoyed now.

"Qiu Zhi, you're never going to stop, are you? I'm not seeking pleasure at all. This is called a secret visit. I have governed Annan for so many years, can't I take a look at the people's livelihood?

Also, don’t you want to be an official and don’t want to be in charge of the court? Then why are you still caring about me? "

The emperor was almost incoherent.

Qiu Zhi: “I am telling the truth.”

emperor:"……"

Screw your truth, you just don't want to see me out and play.

Oh, I'm so angry. It wasn't his decision to marry his sweetheart in the first place. So many years have passed, why is he still like this?

But unfortunately, he was in the wrong.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again like before, the queen quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"How has Mr. Qiu been these years?" the queen asked softly.

Facing the queen, Qiu Zhi's face looked much better. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything is fine."

The emperor was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from the queen.

Still making a fuss. The two of them are over a hundred years old together, and yet they are still sulking like little children. Aren't they ashamed?

The emperor shut up, but still snorted softly and stopped looking at Qiu Zhi.

The atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became a little awkward.

"Well, Yaoyao, Yier, aren't you going to offer tea to the master? Madam Zeng, please prepare the tea quickly." Wen Xiuyi spoke quickly.

Nanny Zeng quickly took people downstairs to prepare tea.

Everyone sat down according to their status, with the emperor and the empress sitting at the top, and then Wen Xiuyi and the third princess, Prince Fu and his wife, Qiu Zhi and Doctor Jin sat down below Wen Xiuyi and the third princess.

Nanny Zeng made some tea and brought it over, and Wen Yao and Li Yi served it to Qiu Zhi.

Qiu Zhi also drank and said a few words of blessing.

Then the atmosphere became stagnant again.

The third princess quietly tugged at Wen Xiuyi's sleeve and winked at him.

Wen Xiuyi also had a headache, but he still coughed dryly and said, "Well, we just got back, and I think everyone must be tired from the journey. Wife, is the guest room ready? Send my second brother and second sister-in-law to rest for a while."

The third princess quickly stood up and said, "Yes, my brother and sister-in-law, I will take you to rest first."

The emperor looked at Qiu Zhi's eyes that were not eyes and nose that were not nose, and wanted to fight him for three hundred rounds. However, before he could open his mouth, the queen glared at him with a warning and dragged him away.

As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the lobby eased a little.

"I'll go back first too." Qiu Zhi stood up and said goodbye.

"Oh, no, Old Qiu..." Wen Xiuyi quickly stood up. He felt really uncomfortable being stuck in the middle.

Qiu Zhi smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't know he would dare to leave such a big mess behind and run out of the palace. I have to go back and write a letter to the prince and tell him some things, so I'll go back first."

After a pause, Qiu Zhi continued, "You don't have to worry. Personal grudges are personal grudges, and the monarch and his subjects are the monarch and his subjects. I know what's going on."

Wen Xiuyi opened his mouth and looked at Qiu Zhi with admiration: "Okay, you don't have to worry. The big-headed kid is following the prince. He is very cunning. Those court officials may not be able to bully him. And the kids at home are all very powerful now."

Qiu Zhi smiled, full of relief: "Yes, these children have grown up."

Qiu Zhi was worried about the prince, so he went back early. When he left, Prince Fu and Princess Fu sighed: "Mr. Qiu is a great scholar who truly cares about his country and the world. What a pity."

Princess Fu smiled, with a hint of sarcasm: "Who can you blame? You deserve it."

Prince Fu choked and curled his lips. It was not his fault anyway. It was his own fault, so he should bear the consequences himself.

After Qiu Zhi returned, he did write a thick letter to the prince, analyzing the situation of the ministers in the court. He took into account every detail and gave many instructions to the prince and Datou. Finally, he had someone send it back to the capital overnight, using one of the secret guards brought by the emperor.

It would be a waste to not use the people who are ready.

The emperor cursed on the surface, disliking Qiu Zhi for taking advantage of him, but in fact, he admired Qiu Zhi more and more in his heart, and also felt more guilty.

Especially seeing that he is alone now, the feeling in my heart is so painful.

A group of people lived in Gutong Village like this, and the village chief became the only person who knew the identity of this man besides the Wen family and Prince Fu. When Old Man Wen told him, the village chief's legs went weak. He was the man who was on good terms with Mr. Li on the boat.

He, he also calls Mr. Li "Big Brother".

Will he die or not? Will he die or not!!! He actually dared to call the emperor "big brother".

Fortunately, His Majesty did not seem to intend to make a fuss with him, and he did not ask for any special treatment when they arrived at Gutong Village. So the village chief, with a nervous heart, busied himself selecting land for the two ancestors and then supervising the construction of their houses.
