Li Mi had been in the opera garden for a long time, but he had mastered the emperor's secret skill of performing the mysterious mood: moodiness to the extreme. Therefore, except Han Shitou, no one could figure out his thoughts, not even the imperial concubine.
King Qin is about to enter the palace, and the impressions of the people in the palace on him are all based on speculation. King Qin is cruel... This is the most heard news.
Think about it, who in the past would use the corpses of enemies to pile up a mountain and call it Jingguan.
When he went south to fight against rebellion, the King of Qin issued a death order and all rebels were to be executed. When the news reached Chang'an, many people trembled. If that man ascended the throne, he would definitely be a tyrant.
But what I didn't expect was that King Qin was extremely kind in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. This completely different attitude made it difficult for the people in the palace to guess.
But in everyone's opinion, when King Qin entered the palace, he must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Qin Ze, the unlucky guy, must be the chicken.
Under everyone's gloating eyes, Qin Ze followed the chamberlain.
All the way to the side hall where Princess Qin was handling matters, I heard King Qin say inside: "...Have you ever thought about burying the whole world with him just for the emperor?" "But that's the emperor!
"
"Don't you know what's so special about you and me who have been alone as husband and wife for many years? If I were the son of some god, wouldn't you be able to notice it?" "But you have to think carefully about your children and grandchildren, right?"
"The same thing is said. If you and my children and grandchildren are incompetent, get out as soon as possible. At least we can save our family and the royal family. If we survive and the public resentment boils, do you know what will happen?"
"What could happen?"
"The people were in dire straits and starved to death everywhere. They couldn't bear it anymore and they revolted. They broke into the city, killed our children and grandchildren, threw them into the cauldron, cooked them and shared them. The fat royal family were cut open in their belly by the people and inserted into them.
The wick is lit like this and stays lit all night..."
"Zitai, stop talking!"
"When the words of Gu are spread, it will be difficult for future generations to avoid them. People all over the world will repeat Gu's words. If the emperors of future generations are ignorant and incompetent, these words are the final warning. If they still persist in their obsession, do you think that the Tang Dynasty
Can it still last forever?"
Then there was silence in the palace.
"Everyone has a love for their children. I am still young and have not yet lost consciousness. To say these words at this moment before I am deceived by power is not only a warning to my children and grandchildren, but also a warning to myself."
When Qin Ze heard these words, he felt as if thunder was roaring in his ears.
After a long time, he heard Princess Qin say quietly: "Is there no other way?" "Have you ever seen any company that can last for a long time?"
"Yingchuan Yang Family."
King Qin said calmly: "The Yang family in Yingchuan? I don't think it will exist for long." There were sweat stains on Qin Ze's forehead.
"I don't care if you worry about it." Princess Qin was angry. "Okay, okay, I'll take care of it!"
The chamberlain then went in, "Your Highness, Qin Ze is here." "Let him in."
King Qin then sat down, and he sat next to Princess Qin. Qin Ze came in and saluted, "I have met your highness, I have met your empress." Princess Qin rolled her eyes at King Qin, stood up and sat down beside him.
King Qin smiled, sat in front, and asked: "I was passing by alone earlier, and everyone was busy saluting, but you were busy eating. Why?" Qin Ze was panicked, "My slave... I'm afraid that I'm hungry."
"Oh!" King Qin said: "Most of the people in the palace are from poor backgrounds, and there are many who are afraid of hunger. Why do you cherish food even more when they ignore it?" "My mother-in-law, who has been a slave since she was a child, said that you should not waste food intentionally, otherwise the world will be ruined.
"Thunder struck."
King Qin nodded and the chamberlain came forward, "Follow us." Qin Ze seemed to be pardoned, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After he went out, Zhou Ning asked: "You are not such a small-minded person."
"I don't have a person in charge around me." King Qin casually picked up his wife's water glass and took a sip. "This man... can't see anything."
"When acting beside an emperor, the most important thing is not ability, but awe." King Qin said: "Normally, when you enter the palace, you can at least have enough to eat, but he still cherishes the food and even forgets to please the orphan for the sake of a little mutton.
.What does it mean? It means that in his heart, he is in awe
Food is more important than pleasing the emperor."
"That's right." Zhou Ning dropped the matter.
King Qin got up and went out, "Go and see the two children alone."
After King Qin left, Huahong said in confusion: "Empress, since Your Highness has taken a fancy to Qin Ze, why not use him?" "Since Zitai values the character of the people around him, then this is an excellent test."
"Test?" "Yes."
Qin Ze returned to where he was, and the servants who were moving things were surprised to see him come back. "You were not punished?"
Qin Ze shook his head, "Your Highness is generous." "You are quite lucky."
Everyone continued to be busy.
Not long after, the chamberlain who came to summon Qin Ze came again. "Qin Ze!"
There was a hint of flattery in the waiter's voice.
Qin Ze put down the vase in his hand and came over to salute, "What can I ask?"
The chamberlain looked at him enviously, "His Highness has ordered that from now on, you will follow His Highness." In an instant, Qin Ze was hit by this huge surprise, and his face flushed with excitement.
The servants looked at him dumbfounded.
King Qin would choose a chamberlain to be by his side. This position can be called the third person in the harem. For this position, from the moment King Qin entered the palace, those chamberlains, regardless of whether they had hope or not, were working hard to make King Qin pay more attention to them.
Take a look for yourself.
But what I never expected was that the person chosen would be the humble Qin Ze.
Moreover, Qin Ze has been in the palace for many years and is just an ordinary chamberlain. How could he be chosen by King Qin? Qin Ze took a deep breath and saluted, "Thank you for telling me."
The waiter hurriedly returned the greeting, "Please go clean up and follow us. "Okay, we'll go right away."
Qin Ze went back to pack his things, and the servant followed him. Seeing that all his belongings were packed in an old wooden box, he thought that this man would be fine.
Moreover, judging from his previous appearance, when this person seemed to be in trouble, no one sympathized with him, which showed that even social interactions were ordinary.
Qin Ze followed the eunuchs out. When he passed by the original place, the eunuchs had changed their faces. Some came forward to curry favor, and some gave congratulatory gifts...
According to the rules of the palace, giving gifts is not considered giving or receiving bribes.
Qin Ze cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for the gift, but no gift is necessary." He was very polite when he spoke and his courtesy was meticulous.
Everyone tried to please Qin Ze for a while, only to avoid it, and then said goodbye.
"This person has become a popular person around His Highness. Shouldn't he gather people's hands and use them for his own use? At least he must have an informant in the palace, right?" Everyone was puzzled.
Qin Ze settled down and was immediately taken to find the King of Qin. The King of Qin was training his son.
A Liang and Li Laoer stood in front of the desk with their hands tied. King Qin stood in front with his hands behind his hands and said: "Sir, he is still the same as before. The homework is still the same as before. It's just that temptations are everywhere in the palace, and everyone has their own way of playing.
If you two use all kinds of tricks to please others, you will fall into it soon. Remember, if someone confuses your brothers, come and tell Ye Niang immediately, do you understand?"
"clear!"
King Qin turned around, and Qin Ze came in to salute.
The chamberlain nodded from behind, indicating that Qin Ze had made no mistakes along the way.
"From now on, you will do things by Gu's side. There are several things that are taboo around Gu. One is forming cliques, the other is leaking information, and the third is making friends with foreign ministers! Remember these three things, you can
Stay safe."
"Yes, please remember this." Qin Ze said respectfully.
King Qin pointed at him and said to the two A-Liang brothers: "Qin Ze, you will work by your father's side from now on. If you two need anything, you can go to him."
King Qin had just entered Chang'an, and his ministers knew that he wanted to rest for a while, so they suppressed many things for the time being. But even so, there were still many people asking for instructions.
A chamberlain came in and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Liu, please tell me when will you ascend the throne?"
"Liu Qing, you are deliberately showing off, right?" King Qin smiled, "We will wait until I go to Gongling Mausoleum to worship Aye." "Yes!"
Liu Qing and Luo Cai are together.
"The false emperor is in Shu
He is very busy recruiting troops and buying horses. Your Highness should ascend the throne at this moment and clarify the authenticity of Zhengshuo to reassure people's hearts." Liu Qing rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Fortunately, the false emperor took away those important ministers and dignitaries, especially those two, otherwise, otherwise
It’s a lot of trouble.”
"Those two are a nuisance." Luo Cai said, "You can't hit them, scold them, let alone slight them, otherwise the world will say that Your Highness is mean and lacks family affection."
The two people they were talking about were the half-brothers of King Qin, King Zhen and King Yong.
"There are also the heads of the powerful clans, the elders of the royal family, and... Hey! To be honest, I sometimes have unkind thoughts." "What thoughts? Tell me, let's see if I have ever had such thoughts.
"
Liu Qing smiled and said, "I sometimes feel that it would have been better if Shi Zhongtang had caught up with the false emperor." He looked at Luo Cai, "Have you ever done that?"
According to Shi Zhongtang's urine, he would probably find a reason to kill the pseudo-emperor and his son, such as death of illness or being killed in the rebellion. And those important ministers and powerful royal family members would probably not escape death.
"It's all a disaster!" Luo Cai sighed. The two smiled at each other.
The joke eventually reached the ears of King Qin, so he told the joke to his ministers during the court meeting on the second day.
"There is a country in the west called Franji. The chaos in the court has made it difficult for the people to make a living. On this day, the emperor was eating, and a chamberlain came to report that, your majesty, the prime minister was hit by a carriage. The emperor was shocked and asked, where is the minister of household affairs? The chamberlain
He said that he had been assassinated. The emperor was panic-stricken and asked, where is the leader of the Imperial Guard? The chamberlain said that he had just caught a wind in the brothel... The emperor was in tears, but could there be hope? The chamberlain said that the doctor said that there was no hope of help.
The emperor cried and asked, who can be saved? The chamberlain said that Franji can be saved."
In these words, he ridiculed all the powerful people who stayed in Shu with the emperor. It was considered as a statement by the King of Qin - most of those people were a disaster!
Liu Qing coughed dryly and left the class: "Your Highness quelled Shi Ni's rebellion, destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and turned the tide from its collapse. It has been said since ancient times, and it is true that the world is without a master at the moment, and countless soldiers and civilians are eagerly waiting for Your Highness to ascend the throne to bring peace to the world!
"
"I second the proposal!" This was a necessary transition. King Qin should have declined.
"Go to Gongling first!"
King Qin looked in the direction of Gongling and said softly: "Gu, you are a little timid."
