Although he said that, it was probably impossible for Qin Chaoyue to repent.

He now has a military order, so the daily task is to go to the barracks to practice and train soldiers, in addition, there is no danger at all in the capital, and Emperor Jing Xuan has no intention of handing over the task to him, and there is no need to take responsibility if there is no task.

This is also the strange thing about Zhou Xinzhi.

It stands to reason that Emperor Jing Xuan's original intention was to let them separate the three powers, which would be better for him, but now it seems that the focus is on Qin Qianyu and Qin Shuyu.

Zhou Xinzhi shook her head, a little worried.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears and not make people suspicious, Du Jiu left the next day.

But those people were sent back.

"The people in the yard are cleared."

Zhou Xinzhi glanced at Qin Qianyu: "Take a look at these people, I have already experienced them when I let them in, they are all from white families, and Du Jiulian's foundation is not bad." ”

Qin Qianyu glanced around and nodded

"You are the person Du Jiu gave me, today I will tell you, what you have to do is very hidden, His Royal Highness will only tell you when there is a task, and the rest of the time you will do the task of sprinkling and cleaning in our house, if you can accept it, stay and listen to my arrangement."

Qin Qianyu paused: "If you can't accept it, there is still a chance to leave now, and I will give you a little silver for you to go back." ”

The people below were dumbfounded.

"Second prince, we all agreed before Du Jiu, obey your orders, unswerving until death, and your net worth is innocent, you can rest assured."

In the middle of the line, a man stepped forward.

Qin Qianyu glanced at him and nodded: "I believe that you also believe in the Du family, today I will arrange a task for you as the first task to consider you." ”

"There have been spies in the temple in the capital recently, I want you to go there to guard it, and report it immediately as soon as there is news, of course, because there are many people there who covet it, so I have also arranged for other people to share your pressure."

"Secondly, I ask you to divide a part of the people into the inside, and there are also people inside, but the situation inside is more complicated, in addition to the corpses, there are some unsightly things, you need to keep it secret, and you must also be mentally prepared."

"Everything is arranged."

Qin Qianyu nodded.

"You're the captain?"

Qin Qianyu looked at the man who had just spoken, and the man took a step forward and nodded: "Back to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, it is exactly the small one." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

After arranging, Qin Qianyu ordered Qing Yi to take them to the temple in the evening.

"Qian Yu, the situation at the temple is a bit complicated, if you want to send them, I'm afraid their ability will not be able to deal with it."

Zhou Xinzhi sighed, "Aren't you just sending them to death for nothing?" ”

"Xin Zhi, of course I won't let them die in vain, I just want to see how brave they are, Qingyi will be guarding the temple tonight, with Qingyun Eighteen Orders."

Zhou Xinzhi nodded, then she was relieved.

The palace on the other side

"Your Majesty, the second prince found that there seems to be a secret inside the temple, and someone attacked the guards at night yesterday and broke into the temple, and there was an extra corpse inside."

Qingyi knelt on the ground and leaned over: "But when he left, he didn't leave any traces, and the guards were killed because of snake venom." ”

"Snake venom?"

Emperor Jing Xuan sat on the dragon chair, the expression on his face was unpredictable, "Qingyi, you have been following Qin Qianyu for a long time, what is the progress of this matter?" ”

He closed his eyes, Qingyi lowered his head and said: "In this matter, the second prince guessed that it might be the forces of the neighboring countries that sneaked into it, and we found it by chance and seized it, but the rest will definitely come back, and now this snake venom has been fulfilled." ”

"Neighboring countries...... I know, you take this token, send new people to the temple to guard, and divide some people to take care of the monks who come out, no one is missing, if there is a person's business, I will only ask you! ”

"Yes!"

Qingyi pinched the token and retreated, and at this moment the harem Yikun Palace.

Empress Jiang was looking at the letter, her eyebrows furrowing tighter: "Liu'er, has anyone found out about this matter?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, no one found out that the people in the palace have been in a hurry recently, and they can't take care of many things, thinking that something big has happened."

Empress Jiang sighed: "Your Majesty is inevitably too partial, send Yu'er to such a far place for treatment, let him be in danger, now the capital is fine, but my emperor is in such a dangerous place." ”

"Niangniang, the prince Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine."

"Liu'er, don't talk about these useless things, hurry up and bring the paper and pen, I want to write a letter to my father, you ask someone to send it out, be sure to send it to your father."

Empress Jiang paused, quickly finished writing a letter, sealed it and handed it to her.

She stood up and walked around the window, paused, and said, "Now it's about to be the New Year, and it's time for a state banquet in the palace." Let's look for books

"What do you mean?"

Empress Jiang stroked her armor: "Quickly comb my hair, I'm going to see Your Majesty now!" ”

Her eyes flashed, and she thought of a great idea!

"Your Majesty, the Empress asks to see you."

Emperor Jing Xuan rubbed his forehead: "Tell her to come in." ”

"Your Majesty."

Empress Jiang blessed her body.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, now the situation in the capital is much better, and the state banquet will be prepared in a few days, and the concubine wants to ask Your Majesty what you want to do, so it is better to prepare earlier."

Emperor Jing Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The queen remembers clearly, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have forgotten again, and the situation this year is not good, so let's keep it simple." ”

"Your Majesty means to act frugally, but the concubine has an idea, that is, the matter of choosing a concubine for the second prince has been delayed for a long time, Zhou Xinzhi has been named the county lord, and the two of them now have their own status, but the concubine heard that Zhou Bilian was pregnant with his child...... Nor can the matter be left unexplained. ”

In the end, it is the royal bloodline, and it is impossible for Emperor Jing Xuan to let it go.

"Originally, it was set to be the daughter of the prime minister's family, but Qin Qianyu didn't like it, but it was just counted, so he didn't like any of the daughters of the minister's family you found, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, Zhou Xinzhi has made a lot of achievements, and now she no longer lacks identity, it is no problem to be a side concubine, and besides, this marriage should be designated by the emperor, and it is not decided by herself privately."

Empress Jiang couldn't see that the emperor had brought these two princes to deal with Qin Shuyu.

It's just that to be the grandmother of a family, you must have a mind and bearing, and you must also have the means and ability, the daughter of the prime minister of the Sun family does not have such ability, if a housewife is misbehaved, it will be the descendants who will be harmed.

Besides, Qin Qianyu, a second prince who came out of the countryside, even if she can marry a daughter, her power is still limited, how can she compare with the prince, so if she can match them, of course she will be happier, and it is also a good deal to force Zhou Xinzhi away.

Emperor Jing Xuan was very satisfied with the prime minister's daughter, but on the other hand, Zhou Xinzhi was also very helpful, and the two admired each other, which is really rare.

But if Zhou Xinzhi can take a step back and ask not to be so rigid, I'm afraid this position can be determined, with power in one hand and money in the other, it is more than enough to deal with the prince.

Emperor Jing Xuan sighed: "I know, let's do it, I will go and see the situation on the prince's side, if it is suitable, postpone it for a few days, wait for him to come together, and if it is too late, I will talk about it." ”

He was thinking of Qin Qianyu's mother, and he did have some ability, so he didn't want to do it for the time being.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find a few beautiful women, see if the second prince can see it, if it can't be seen, forget it, after all, this matter can't be forced, if you can see a noble concubine or a side concubine with a good status, it's okay."

"I know, you go down first."

Emperor Jing Xuan rubbed his eyebrows, and quickly wrote a volume of holy decrees.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the people's daughter Zhou Xinzhi, Zhong Min Lingxiu, inside and outside Huizhong, because of their work in controlling water and plague, specially named the county lord, the next day canonization ceremony!"

Zhou Xinzhi knelt on the ground, and was pushed by Qiaocui next to her before reacting: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." ”

She stood up and calmly accepted the decree.

Miss Zhou...... No, county lord, you are ready to prepare, tomorrow you will be ready to be canonized. ”

"Tomorrow? Short on time? ”

Zhou Xinzhi bit her lip.

"You don't have to worry, this one behind me is a nurturing grandmother from the palace, she will teach you the basic etiquette at the ceremony, you just need to learn it by heart, and the ceremony will not last too long."

"County Lord."

The nurturing grandmother blessed her body, Zhou Xinzhi smiled reluctantly: "Then thank you." ”

"Qiaocui."

She beckoned, Qiao Cui just took out a bag of silver nuggets from her pocket, and the father-in-law dared to push it away: "That's not necessary, county lord, I think you should hurry up and take the time to learn etiquette, if you make a mistake on this occasion, I'm afraid it will be a great disrespect to the emperor!" ”

Feelings are waiting for her here!

Zhou Xinzhi pulled out a smile: "That father-in-law walks slowly." ”

"Qiaocui, arrange a room for Mama, since it will start tomorrow, then it will be troublesome for Mama today."

"Xin Zhi, how can you learn it in one day, the time given by my father is inevitably too tight, otherwise I will ask first?"

Qin Qianyu's heart sank.

"Don't say that, the second prince, this is also a matter of no choice, there are too many things in Beijing before and after, not to mention that we are going to hold a state banquet soon, and the canonization ceremony of the county lord will be done a lot in advance."

"This decision is also in a hurry, so I made a holy decree at this time, the second prince is not as good as learning etiquette with the county lord, and there are many things to pay attention to at the state banquet."

With that, he turned around and left.

Qin Qianyu's face was gloomy, and Zhou Xinzhi patted the back of his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this, if they are willing, we will accompany them." ”
