Chapter 832: No. 1 Old Yin Coin Emperor Qing
Chapter 832 Old Yin Coin No. 1—Emperor Qing
Nanqing Imperial Palace.
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. This is not my child. No matter what happens, it will happen."
However, just when Eunuch Hou was about to cater to Emperor Qing's words, he heard his words change again.
"But the prince and the second prince are my biological children. Should I be worried?"
Eunuch Hou's face changed greatly, 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 been hard-pressed to pass the test of 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 to indulge occasionally."
While Emperor Qing was speaking, he had already fully drawn the bowstring. 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 frightened him 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, he may not be able to overcome that hurdle when he sees a beautiful woman."
"Well, it makes sense." Li Yunrui looked at the glass mirror: "Then tell me, am I beautiful?"
"The eldest princess is naturally as beautiful as a fairy. Who in Nanqing knows that?"
"Oh, really? So, between beauty and power, which one would a man choose?"
The confidant palace maid was puzzled by the question, and after a long time she tentatively replied: "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 young master of the Qin family as soon as possible? He is the youngest ninth grader in Nanqing after all."
"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 family has entered Beijing today?"
"I entered the capital at noon today. I heard 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 Bian."
"Oh? Is there anything else like this?" Li Chengqian became interested.
"It's absolutely true. All the soldiers guarding the city gate saw it. It is said that the second young master even said: If you draw your sword, you will definitely die."
"Oh? Did he really say this? I remember that Xie Bian is an eighth-grade 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 Majesty, you don't know. 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 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: "The ninth-level masters of the Qing Dynasty all hold important positions in the court, and if you rashly recruit them, will it arouse people's suspicion?"
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 suspicion? Moreover, the youngest ninth-grade 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."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian seemed to have made up his mind 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 was setting and the sun was rising, and in a blink of an eye it was 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 just slept in the same bed for one night.
"I will ask my father for your family's indentures later. You will stay in my yard from now on. When I am not here, you will guard the yard for me and don't let anyone in casually. Can you do it?" Qin Hao put on his clothes and said with his back to the body.
Xia He hesitated: "What if the eldest lady insists on coming in."
"Don't worry, she is not that stupid."
Xia He breathed a sigh of relief: "I will definitely guard the yard for you and will never let anyone in casually."
"Okay, if you are sleepy, continue to sleep for a while, I will leave first."
Just when Qin Hao left the yard and was about to find Qin Hui, Qin Yang suddenly brought people over in a panic.
"Hao'er, you are finally awake. Someone has come to 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 Joy of Life, then Emperor Qing is the one ahead of him. This emperor of Nanqing, who has the strength of a grandmaster, has always been hiding behind the scenes, and he also pushed out an old eunuch at the peak of the ninth rank as a cover. This guy's caution is comparable to Li Changshou.
Under the arrangement of Qin Yang, Qin Hao sat in a carriage engraved with the Qin family's seal and followed the eunuchs in the palace to the palace.
In fact, the commercialization level of the imperial city of Nanqing is not as high as that of Dongyi City. The city streets are built according to the fortress. The roads are very wide, four horizontal and eight vertical, which is convenient for mobilizing troops.
The high-ranking officials of Qing generally live near the imperial city, and soon Qin Hao came to the foot of the imperial city.
The towering vermilion palace walls stretch for miles, like a dragon-like barrier, isolating the hustle and bustle of the world. On top of the wall, golden glazed tiles are laid in layers. Under the sunlight, they shine brightly, as if flowing with the luster of molten gold, making the entire palace more solemn and sacred.
After a round of inspection, Qin Hao followed the eunuch and walked into the interior of the imperial city. Along the way, the eaves and corners, the golden roof and red walls are solemn and agile. The nine white jade steps in front of the palace symbolize the supremacy of imperial power. On both sides of the steps, copper dragons are circling up, with their heads raised high and clear springs spraying from their mouths, pouring directly onto the huge white marble Sumeru pedestal, splashing crystal water, indicating that the dragon veins are endless.
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 defeated the Wei Empire after decades and became a hegemon. However, due to its rapid rise, its foundation was slightly insufficient, which also led to Beiqi often calling Qing the Southern Barbarians, ridiculing Qing as a nouveau riche.
But today, the palace of Nanqing was built so magnificently, but what was the scene of the palace of Beiqi.
"Second Master, please stay and wait for the little one to report."
"Eunuch, please."
The little eunuch disappeared in a blink of an eye. Qin Hao stood outside the palace bored and looked around, admiring the scenery. Suddenly, he heard a neat sound of footsteps behind him, which was obviously the imperial guards.
"Excuse me, are you Master Qin, the disciple of Master Ye?"
Qin Hao turned around and found that a middle-aged man wearing armor and a sword on his waist was looking at him excitedly.
"Master Ye is indeed my master, but I don't know how to address him?"
"I am Gong Dian, the nephew of Master Ye."
Qin Hao bowed to Gong Dian after hearing this: "So it's you, Senior Brother. Please forgive me for my impoliteness in our first meeting."
Gong Dian held Qin Hao's arm and laughed: "Junior Brother Qin, you are too polite. You are now the youngest ninth-rank master in Qing. I am ashamed to say that I have been older than you for decades and you are only eighth-rank now. Uncle Master is worthy of being one of the four great masters. A good teacher produces a good student."
Qin Hao laughed secretly. Gong Dian's tone was somewhat sour when he said this. It was probably because of Ye Liuyun's cultivation that he could become a ninth-rank master so quickly.
"No, no, it's all because of Master's good teaching. If Senior Brother could get Master's guidance, I'm afraid he would have been promoted to the ninth-rank long ago."
This touched Gong Dian's heart. The more he looked at Qin Hao, the more he liked him. He sent away the guards behind him and pulled Qin Hao to talk about many things he needed to pay attention to when meeting Emperor Qing later.
After chatting for a while, the eunuch came over in small steps.
"Commander Gong, His Majesty summons Young Master Qin to the palace."
Gong Dian whispered to Qin Hao: "Be careful when you reply to His Majesty later, but don't worry. For the sake of Uncle Master and Senior Brother Ye, His Majesty should not embarrass you."
"Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."
"You don't have to be polite, Junior Brother, I'll go to you for a drink when I'm not on duty."
After saying goodbye to Gong Dian, Qin Hao entered a palace under the guidance of the eunuch. The road was winding and the guards along the way were airtight. It was not an exaggeration to say that there was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. These were just the obvious ones. Qin Hao could feel that there were many people staring at him in secret. Judging from the energy fluctuations from these people, they were all rare masters.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Qin is here."
"Well, let him in."
Qin Hao walked in slowly, but did not see Emperor Qing. There were many bookshelves around the palace. Although he did not see Emperor Qing, Qin Hao could feel that the old man must be secretly observing him. He had only felt that kind of vague energy fluctuation in Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian and Ku He.
Eunuch Hou kept winking at Qin Hao, but Qin Hao just pretended not to see it. Finally, Eunuch Hou could not bear it anymore and walked to his side and reminded him softly: "Why don't you pay your respects to your Majesty when you see him?"
"Where is your Majesty?" Qin Hao simply pretended to be stupid. Since you don't show up, just pretend not to see it.
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
"I'm here."
This old bastard was hiding in the dark. Qin Hao had no choice but to bow to Emperor Qing.
"I, Qin Hao, pay my respects to your majesty."
Emperor Qing looked respectful and humble: "No need to bow. Is Master Ye okay?"
Qin Hao said respectfully: "My master eats a lot and sleeps well. I think he is in good health."
"That's good, that's good." Emperor Qing sat on the couch while speaking.
"My Qing country can have the current prosperity thanks to Master Ye."
Qin Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with what you said."
"Oh? Why?" Emperor Qing looked at Qin Hao with interest.
Eunuch Hou on the side saw that Qin Hao dared to refute Emperor Qing, and cold sweat broke out.
"Although my master has also made some efforts for Qing, the reason why Qing is what it is today is that your majesty is wise and knows how to appoint the right people. The military and civilians of Qing are united and work hard to become stronger. This is definitely not the work of my master alone."
The Qing Emperor laughed loudly when he heard this: "Yes, you have such knowledge at such a young age. You are worthy of being Master Ye's disciple."
Eunuch Hou was relieved to see that the Qing Emperor was very pleased.
However, the Qing Emperor changed the subject: "Since you said that I know how to appoint the right people, what kind of job do you think I will assign to you?"
"Your Majesty, it would be best if you could assign me an idle job. I have been lazy in the mountains for many years. If you ask me to report for duty before dawn like my father, I really can't get up." Qin Hao began to play dumb. He was not like Fan Xian who had so many "fathers" to protect him. The water in the court was too deep, so it was better to stay away from it.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing pointed at Qin Hao and laughed and scolded: "Your lazy nature is somewhat similar to Master Ye, but you are the youngest ninth-rank master in Nanqing. If I don't arrange a suitable job for you, wouldn't it be a shame for your comments that you know people and assign them to the right positions?"
"Let's put it this way. From today on, you will take the position of the commander of the Jingzhao Prefecture Military Department. I have entrusted the safety of the entire capital to you. Don't let me down."
Qin Hao suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. If he had known earlier, he would not have flattered Emperor Qing. The Jingzhao Prefecture Military Department is the only army that can be stationed in the capital besides the imperial guards. Such an important force must be sought after by all forces. This is simply roasting him on the fire.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Seeing Qin Hao's weak appearance, Emperor Qing became more and more satisfied with his arrangement.
"Since you have received the order, take office immediately. Eunuch Hou will escort Qin Aiqing out of the palace."
"Mr. Qin, please."
