Shortly after the emperor left, a noise came from outside the door.

Soon, a young eunuch with a pretty face walked in with small steps and knelt in front of Qin Hao.

"Marcenary Ma Quan was ordered to come and serve the ninth prince."

Qin Hao looked at the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards behind Ma Quan's body, all with raw faces. It was obvious that the emperor had replaced all the people around him.

"Well, you guys go down."

"Slave, I will leave."

Since it was arranged by the emperor, at least it would not harm his life. This also indicates that his performance today has attracted the attention of the emperor's father.

As a prince without the support of his relatives, if he wants to seize the throne, he cannot do without the support of the emperor's father.

After Ma Quan and others left, Qin Hao walked to the desk again, pondered for a long time, and wrote several names on the paper.

"Song Mo."

The eldest son of the British Duke and uncle Jiang Meisun is the contemporary Duke of Dingguo. The Dingguo army under his command is good at fighting and is strict in discipline, which is a military force that cannot be underestimated.

Dingguo Duke Jiang Meisun and the emperor's father were young confidants, loyal and wanted him to help him rebel. It was almost impossible to be able to conquer King Qing, so the best way was to wait for Jiang Meisun to die, so that he could control Song Mo in his hands.

"Ji Yong."

When Cui from Ji'an was born, he had a relative with Dou Zhao's grandmother. He was Dou Zhao's distant cousin. He learned to read at the age of two and wrote poetry at the age of four. He grew up in Buddhism and learned medical skills. However, he said that doctors could only cure ten or a hundred people, but could not save the people. He abandoned medicine and followed literature. He also studied in Tanhualang in high school and had a talent for governing the country.

If this literary and military man can be included in the army, the chances of success of Jingnan will be much greater.

After thinking about it, Qin Hao finally wrote down the name of the heroine "Dou Zhao".

It is inevitable to spend money to support one's own power in the court. Dou Zhao had some business acumen and was just right for his white gloves.

After burning the paper, Qin Hao looked at a bright moon outside the window.

"At this time, Dou Zhao should be about to be reborn?"

Three days later, the emperor's father sent someone over.

"Ninth Prince, Your Majesty promises you to move to Wenhua Palace."

“Lead the way if you have the opportunity.”

"The ninth prince is a slave."

In Wenhua Hall, Emperor Zhu Jianshen sat upright on the dragon chaise, beside him a luxuriously dressed woman wearing a phoenix crown, and the two of them were close to each other. Obviously, this one was Queen Wan.

"The child pays homage to the father and the queen."

Zhu Jianshen nodded with satisfaction: "Get up."

Then he turned to the ministers standing below and said, "Do you think my ninth prince can be educated?"

Several ministers looked at each other for a while and saluted the old man in the lead.

"I think the ninth prince is extraordinary and with a little training, I will definitely be the pillars of my dynasty in the future."

Zhu Jianshen was about to speak, but Queen Wan on the side stopped him, and then walked to Qin Hao.

"Since you have written well, why did you hide your weaknesses in the past? Did you believe in some rumors? Today, the Japanese Palace is here. If you say it boldly, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Zhu Jianshen's expression changed when he heard this. It was obvious that this was not what he told the queen.

Queen Wan also noticed Zhu Jianshen’s strangeness and explained softly: “Your Majesty, don’t be too careful. I am in charge of the harem. Yesterday, Your Majesty suddenly replaced all the people who served Hao’er. If there was such a big disturbance, wouldn’t I betrayal?”

Zhu Jianshen was embarrassed that he was exposed on the spot by someone. All the ministers were old-fashioned men, and they all lowered their heads and buried their heads in their wide robe and sleeves like ostrichs, looking like they said: I didn't hear anything.

"I have reported to the Empress, the rumors are stopped by the wise. In the past, children are young and have never changed. I feel fear after hearing the rumors. I have only recently realized that I hope my father will forgive my sins."

Qin Hao's answer immediately made Zhu Jianshen feel relieved.

"Queen, Hao'er is only eight years old after all, and she was bewitched by people with bad intentions before. You think you would forgive him this time?"

Queen Wan glanced at Qin Hao unwillingly, then knelt in front of Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, someone spread this rumor in the harem is that my concubine is not strict in discipline. I also ask Your Majesty to be kind to me and make meritorious contributions to the crime and to rectify the harem to correct people's hearts!"

Qin Hao couldn't help but look at the Queen Wan with admiration. Just one sentence forced the emperor to delegate power, saying that it was to rectify the harem and to correct people's hearts, but in fact it was to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Maybe after this rectification of the harem, Queen Wan would become the well-deserved lord of the harem.

And Qin Hao unknowingly became a knife in Queen Wan's hand.

"In the game of imperial power, you must be very cautious in every move, and you must not underestimate any opponent."

Qin Hao silently recorded this in his heart.

"Come on, please get up quickly. I have said so many times. Why do you and my husband need to be polite? It's right." Zhu Jianshen helped Queen Wan up and sprinkled a wave of dog food in front of the ministers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Wan took advantage of the situation and stood up and sat next to Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen cleared his throat: "Master Wu Ge, since you also say that the Ninth Prince is a good teacher, can there be a suitable teacher?"

Mr. Wu thought for a long time: "Dou Shiying, a new Jinshi, is very talented and may be responsible for teaching the ninth prince."

Zhu Jianshen nodded but did not make the decision on the spot, but instead asked the other ministers.

"Do you guys have other candidates?"

A middle-aged man in a robe next to him came out to the class and said, "I recommend Liu Heng, the new top scholar in the subject. This person has a knowledge far beyond Dou Shiying, and is more suitable to teach the ninth prince."

Subsequently, some ministers also took the list and recommended many famous teachers and scholars.

Zhu Jianshen ignored it, but smiled and said to the man in the red robe: "I heard that Wang Aiqing is about to become a family with the Dou family. Is this time to avoid suspicion?"

Wang Xingyi hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty clearly understands that I have never had any selfish intentions for you. The reason why I recommend Liu Heng is to cherish his talent."

"Well, Wang Aiqing is a square person and is obvious to all. I am just a joke, so don't take it seriously." After Zhu Jianshen said that, he told Master Wu Ge.

"Then let Mr. Wu recommend it and ask Dou Shiying to teach the ninth prince."

"Your Majesty is wise."

No one asked Qin Hao for his opinion, because his opinion was the least important here. Zhu Jianshen recommended the teacher this time and knew that his civil servants were not a solid piece of the matter and that his purpose had been achieved.

Wu Ge Lao collapsed Zhu Jianshen's vigilance through the opposition of a group of court officials and was also very happy. Wang Xingyi also won the four words "First" in front of the emperor through this opposition of Wu Ge Lao.

Qin Hao’s only gain is that he has an extra cheap teacher, which is politics.

"Dou Shiying? Dou Zhao's father, the White Lotus mistress, forced her to die, and in turn, she was a coward who occupied the magpie's nest?"

"It's interesting."

In the following days, Qin Hao went to Wenhua Palace to attend classes in a regular manner. Zhu Jianshen still attached great importance to the education of his descendants. The cabinet masters often took time to attend classes.

Crown Prince Zhu Yousheng is an absolutely good student, humble and studious, and gentle. The important officials in the cabinet, led by Wu Gelao, are very optimistic about him.

Prince Qing Zhu Youting is very smart, but he can't deal with the prince everywhere and cannot be loved by the important officials of the cabinet.

After Qin Hao changed his past slackness, he did receive some praise, but the crown prince with a strong root and Queen Wan’s only son, King Qing. Even if Qin Hao performed well, he would not be able to get support from the cabinet.

However, Qin Hao didn't care. The prince and King Qing had already carried too many people on the boat, and there were always some people who couldn't squeeze in.

Moreover, as the unpopular ninth prince, if the Jingnan is successful, the prince and King Qing would be better off fighting to the darkness so that he could benefit from it.

"Ma Quan, I remember that it has been more than ten days since my father ordered Dou Shiying to enter the palace to teach?"

Just after the class was over, Qin Hao said loudly on purpose.

Ma Quan bowed and replied, "Report to the Ninth Prince, today is exactly ten days."

"In this way, he doesn't want to teach me anymore? Since he doesn't want to teach me, why don't he report to my father and choose another teacher? What's the reason for dragging me like this?" Qin Hao said angrily.

The prince beside him said in a gentle tone.

"The ninth brother misunderstood. The reason why Dou Shiying did not enter the palace was because of a sudden change in his family, his first wife died of a sudden illness, and the family was organizing a funeral, so it was inconvenient to enter the palace."

"Oh." Qin Hao looked surprised: "In this way, as a student, the husband's first wife passed away, so he had to go to mourn him."

The prince hesitated when he heard this: "Ninth brother, are you going to leave the palace?"

"Yes, I don't have a token to leave the palace, so I can't get out." Qin Hao pretended to be frustrated, and then his eyes lit up: "Your Highness the Crown Prince should have a token to leave the palace, right? Can you lend it to me?"

"This...is probably not good. If the father punishes it..."

The prince subconsciously covered his cuffs.

King Qing, who was standing by, waved his hand and a gold medal fell on Qin Hao's desk: "Hmph, Ninth Brother, don't pay attention to that wood lump, isn't it just a token? The fourth brother will give it to you."

"Thank you, Fourth Brother, for your fulfillment." Qin Hao unceremoniously put the gold medal into the cuff.

The prince also wanted to stop him: "Fourth brother, it is inappropriate for the ninth brother to be like this..."

"The elder brother pretended not to know. If the father asked, I would take full responsibility and would not implicate the two elder brothers."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, King Qing said proudly: "It's still the ninth brother who is happy, unlike the elder brother who only knows how to talk about big principles."

"You..." The prince was so angry that he left.

With King Qing’s gold medal, Qin Hao left the imperial city unimpeded. Ma Quan got a carriage from nowhere, and the two of them headed to the Dou family.

There was a piece of white mourning in front of Dou Mansion, the gate of the mansion was half-closed, and white soul-summoning banners on both sides swung in the breeze.

"Ma Quan, go and call the door."

Ma Quan soon came to the door. When the gatekeeper heard that the ninth prince was coming, he was filled with panic on his face.

"Please wait for a while, and the younger one will go and report it first."
