Emperor Qing, who was dressed in white silk clothes, looked at the secret report in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The residence of the Minister of Justice is also very interesting. On the first day his son came home, the eldest lady crammed people into his room. Is this because she is afraid that he will be lonely outside these years?"
Eunuch Hou on the side lowered his head and chuckled: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion is not the biological mother of the second young master. This is not his own child, so naturally he is not so scrupulous."
"It seems to be true. If this is not my child, it will happen no matter what."
However, just when Eunuch Hou was about to cater to Emperor Qing's words, he heard him change his subject again.
"But the prince and the second prince are my biological children. Shouldn't I be worried?"
Eunuch Hou's face changed drastically, his feet softened, and he buried his head on the ground: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. Thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness. How can you be the same as ordinary people?"
"Oh, that means I don't have to worry about it?"
Eunuch Hou was trembling with fear. He wished he could disappear immediately. It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, but the majesty he served was even scarier than a tiger.
"You are as timid as a mouse. I just said it casually and it scared you. Get up."
"Thank you for your grace."
Emperor Qing continued to polish the arrow in his hand: "This guy is quite a temperamental person, so he just left the person behind."
"Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty. Even those with strong bones are afraid of having soft fingers wrapped around them."
"Well, it makes sense. That's all. I follow Grandmaster Ye and live in seclusion in that quiet place. It's rare to see the prosperity of the capital. It's understandable that I indulge occasionally."
While Emperor Qing was speaking, he had fully drawn the bow string, and an arrow hit Eunuch Hou's ear and hit the armor behind him, but it was blocked by the armor above.
Eunuch Hou was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. What made him so frightened was not the arrow, but Emperor Qing's sharp eyes.
........
Harem.
The eldest princess Li Yunrui looked at the secret letter in her hand, her brows furrowed, and then she relaxed.
"The youngest ninth grader in Nanqing? It seems like nothing more than that."
The confidant palace maid echoed: "Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty. No matter how talented a man is, when he sees a beautiful woman, it is difficult for him to cross that hurdle."
"Well, that makes sense." Li Yunrui looked at the glass mirror and said, "Then tell me, am I beautiful?"
"The eldest princess is naturally as beautiful as a fairy. Who in Nanqing doesn't know that?"
"Oh, really? Then what do you think a man would choose between beauty and power?"
The confidant palace maid was puzzled by the question, and she answered tentatively after a long time: "When a man has power, he can get all kinds of beauties, right?"
A sharp cold light flashed in Li Yunrui's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and he gently put down the glass mirror: "Yes, power is more attractive to men."
"Eldest Princess, should we get in touch with this second master of the Qin family as soon as possible? He is the youngest ninth-rank master in Nanqing anyway..."
"Don't worry, someone will be more anxious than us."
........
In the East Palace, Prince Li Chengqian pretended to be casual and said to Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites who was sitting next to him: "I heard that the second son of the Qin Dynasty has entered Beijing today?"
"I entered Beijing at noon today. It is said that I met the second prince by chance at the city gate." Guo Youzhi emphasized the word "encounter by chance".
A look of anger appeared on Li Chengqian's face: "He is quite well informed."
"However, I heard that the second young master of Qin Mansion did not have much contact with the second prince, and he almost got into a fight with his subordinate Xie Bi'an."
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Li Chengqian became interested.
"It's absolutely true. The soldiers guarding the city gate saw it at that time. It is said that the second young master also said: If you draw your sword, you will definitely die."
"Oh? Did he really say this? I remember that Xie Bian is an eighth-level swordsman, with a reputation of breaking time with one sword. How can he be so vulnerable in his eyes?"
Guo Youzhi stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness does not know that although this eighth-grade warrior is already a leader, he is not good enough in front of the ninth-grade warrior. What's more, I have heard that the second son of the Qin Mansion was still an eighth-grade warrior back then.
When he was a warrior, he had already defeated Yun Zhilan, the disciple of Si Gu Sword Leader, and Lang Tao, the disciple of Grand Master Ku He. Now that he has been promoted to the ninth rank, his strength must be even higher. If His Highness can get help from this person, he will be safe.
.”
Li Chengqian looked happy when he heard this, and then said with some worry: "All the ninth-level masters of the Qing Dynasty hold important positions in the court. Will it arouse people's suspicion if you rashly recruit them?"
Guo Youzhi sighed secretly, this prince was far from the second prince in terms of intelligence and courage. If he had not placed a heavy bet on the prince, he would have changed his family long ago.
Now that the matter has come to this, Guo Youzhi can only patiently persuade him.
"Your Highness, the second prince has already taken the lead. With his shrewd character, how could he act like this if it would arouse people's suspicion? Moreover, the youngest ninth grader in Nanqing is still a disciple of Grandmaster Ye. With his support, it is very possible
Isn't it worthy of Your Highness to win over the Ye family?"
"When Duan continues to suffer chaos, His Highness can no longer hesitate."
Li Chengqian seemed to have made up his mind when he heard this and slammed the table: "Well, what Guo Shangshu said is absolutely true, so I'll leave it to you."
"I must do my best."
.......
The moon sets and the sun rises, and in a blink of an eye it is already bright.
The maid Xia He looked at Qin Hao's powerful muscle lines and fell into obsession for a moment.
Last night, although Qin Hao kept her here, he didn't do anything to her. The two of them just slept on the same bed for one night.
"I will go to my father later to ask for the deed of your family. From now on, you will stay in my yard. When I am not around, guard the yard for me and don't let anyone come in casually. Can you do it?" Qin Haochuan said
Good clothes, he said with his back on his back.
Xia He hesitated: "Then if the eldest lady insists on coming in..."
"Don't worry, she's not that stupid."
Xia He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "I will guard the yard for you and never let anyone enter at will."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, if you are sleepy, just continue to sleep for a while, I will leave first."
Just when Qin Hao left the yard and was about to go find Qin Hui, Qin Yang suddenly brought someone over in a panic.
"Haoer, you are finally awake. Someone is coming from the palace. His Majesty wants to summon you. Come with me quickly."
Emperor Qing? Qin Hao's heart moved. If Chen Pingping is the second oldest Yin coin in the world of Qing Yunian, then Emperor Qing is the one in front of him. This Emperor Nanqing, who has the strength of a great master, has always been hidden behind the scenes.
, and even pushed out an old eunuch who was at the peak of the ninth grade as a cover. This guy's caution was comparable to Li Changshou.
Under the arrangement of the Qin Yang family, Qin Hao got on the carriage engraved with the Qin family's mark and followed the eunuchs all the way to the palace.
The imperial city of Nanqing was actually not as commercialized as Dongyi City. The city streets were built like fortresses, and the roads were very wide, with four horizontal and eight vertical directions, making it easier to mobilize troops.
The senior officials of the Qing Kingdom generally lived close to the imperial city, and Qin Hao soon arrived at the foot of the imperial city.
The towering vermilion palace walls stretch for miles, like a giant dragon-like barrier, isolating the hustle and bustle of the world. On the top of the wall, golden glazed tiles are laid in layers, shining under the sunlight, as if flowing with molten gold.
The luster makes the whole palace more solemn and sacred.
After some interrogation, Qin Hao followed the eunuch and entered the interior of the imperial city. Along the way, there were cornices, golden roofs and red walls, which were solemn yet agile. The nine white jade steps in front of the palace symbolized the supremacy of imperial power.
.On both sides of the steps, copper dragons circled up, with their heads held high, and clear springs spewed from their mouths, pouring down onto the huge white marble Xumizuo, splashing crystal water, which heralded the endless growth of the dragon's veins.
Qin Hao couldn't help but think that, according to the plot, Nanqing was originally just a small country. With the help of Ye Qingmei, Emperor Qing took decades to defeat the Wei Empire and become the overlord of the generation. However, due to its rapid rise, his background was...
Slightly inadequate, this also led to the Northern Qi Dynasty often referring to Qingguo as Nanman, mocking Qingguo for being an upstart.
But when I saw it today, the imperial palace in Nanqing was so magnificently built, but what a scene it was in the imperial palace in Northern Qi.
"Second Young Master, please stay and wait for the younger one to report."
"My father-in-law, please excuse me."
The little eunuch disappeared in the blink of an eye. Qin Hao stood boredly outside the palace, looking around and admiring the scenery. Suddenly, he heard a burst of neat footsteps coming from behind. The sound was obviously that of the Imperial Guards.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Qin, a disciple of Master Ye?"
Qin Hao turned around and found a middle-aged man wearing armor and carrying a sword at his waist looking at him with excitement.
"Grandmaster Ye is indeed the family master, but I don't know what to call him?"
"I, Gong Dian, am Grandmaster Ye's nephew."
When Qin Hao heard this, he rushed to Gong Dian and cupped his fists and raised his hands: "It turns out that it was my senior brother who was in person. Please forgive me for any rudeness during the first meeting."
Gong Dian held Qin Hao's arm and laughed loudly: "Junior Brother Qin, you are so polite. You are now the youngest ninth-grade person in the Qing Kingdom. I am ashamed to say that. Brother Fool has raised you for decades and now you are only eighth-grade. Senior Uncle deserves it.
They are the four great masters, and famous teachers produce great disciples."
Qin Hao was secretly amused. Gong Dian's tone when he said this was somewhat sour. He probably thought that he could become a ninth-level master so quickly only because of Ye Liuyun's cultivation.
"Everywhere, Master has taught me well. If senior brother could get Master's guidance, he would have been promoted to the ninth rank long ago."
These words touched Gong Dian's heart. The more he looked at Qin Hao, the more he liked him. He dismissed the guards behind him and asked Qin Hao to talk about many things he needed to pay attention to when he met Emperor Qing later.
After chatting for a long time, the little eunuch just walked over with small steps.
"Commander of the Palace, Your Majesty announces that Young Master Qin has entered the palace."
Gong Dian whispered to Qin Hao: "You need to be careful when you see your Majesty when you reply later, but there is no need to worry. For the sake of uncle and senior brother Ye, your majesty will not embarrass you."
"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip."
"Junior brother, you don't have to be polite. I won't come to have a drink with you until I'm off duty tomorrow."
After bidding farewell to Gong Dian, Qin Hao entered a palace under the leadership of a young eunuch. There were twists and turns along the way, and the guards along the way were also tight. It is not an exaggeration to say that there were three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry.
, these are just the obvious ones, Qin Hao can feel that there are many people secretly staring at him. Judging from the energy fluctuations revealed by these people, they are all rare masters.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin brings you here."
"Well, let him come in."
Qin Hao walked in slowly, but did not see the figure of Emperor Qing. There were many bookshelves around the palace. Although he did not see Emperor Qing, Qin Hao could feel that the old boy must be sizing him up secretly.
He had only felt that vague energy fluctuation in Ye Liuyun, Sigu Jian and Ku He.
Eunuch Hou kept winking at Qin Hao, but Qin Hao just pretended not to notice. Finally, Eunuch Hou couldn't stand it anymore and walked to him and reminded him softly: "Why don't you bow quickly when you see your majesty?"
"Where is Your Majesty?" Qin Hao simply pretended to be stupid. Since you didn't show up, just pretend you couldn't see him.
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
"I'm here."
This old Yin coin was indeed hiding in the dark, so Qin Hao had no choice but to salute Emperor Qing.
"Qin Hao, a common man, pays homage to His Majesty."
Emperor Qing looked like a courteous corporal: "Without courtesy, is Grandmaster Ye okay?"
Qin Hao said respectfully: "My master eats more and sleeps well. I think he is in good health."
"That's good, that's good." Emperor Qing had already sat on the couch as he spoke.
"Our Qing Kingdom is now prosperous and prosperous, thanks to Grandmaster Ye being in charge."
Qin Hao heard this and said quickly: "The common people do not agree with what Your Majesty said."
"Oh? Why?" Emperor Qing looked at Qin Hao with interest.
Eunuch Hou on the side broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that Qin Hao dared to refute Emperor Qing.
"Although my master has also contributed some efforts to the Qing Kingdom, the reason why the Qing Kingdom is what it is today depends on His Majesty's sage wisdom, knowing people well and arranging tasks. The soldiers and civilians of the Qing Kingdom are united and determined to become stronger. It is definitely not the credit of my master alone."
Emperor Qing laughed loudly when he heard this: "Yes, you have such knowledge at a young age. You are worthy of being a direct disciple of Master Ye."
Eunuch Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Emperor Qing's face being overjoyed.
However, Emperor Qing changed the subject again: "Since you said that I know people well and am good at responsibilities, what kind of errand do you think I will arrange for you?"
"Your Majesty, it's best if you can arrange a leisurely errand for me. I'm used to being lazy in the mountains these years. You ask me to be like my father, who has to light my hair before dawn. I really can't get up." Qin Hao started to pretend to be stupid.
He doesn't have as many "fathers" to protect him as Fan Xian. The water in this court is too deep, so it's better to avoid getting involved as much as possible.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing pointed at Qin Hao and cursed with a smile: "Your lazy temperament is somewhat similar to Grandmaster Ye, but you are the youngest ninth-level master in Nanqing. If I don't arrange a proper errand for you,
Isn’t it a sorry comment that you know people well and take care of them?”
"Let's do this. From today on, you will take the post of commander of the Military and Horse Division of Jingzhao Prefecture. I have entrusted the safety of the entire capital to you. Don't let me down."
Qin Hao suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. If he had known better, he would not have flattered Emperor Qing. The Jingzhao Mansion Military and Horse Division is the only army besides the Imperial Army that can be stationed in the capital. Such an important force
, all forces must be flocking to him, this is simply putting him on the fire.
"I thank your Majesty for your grace."
Seeing Qin Hao's weak look, Emperor Qing became more and more satisfied with his arrangement.
"Since you have accepted the order, let's take office immediately. Eunuch Hou will send Qin Aiqing out of the palace."
