Chapter 5 Champion Selection
The emperor on the throne didn't hesitate too much about her words, his eyebrows swept over the crowd, and the corners of his mouth also raised a satisfied smile, "With Luo Qing's talent in the main military department, I can be regarded as able to hand over the military department to you with confidence." β
He looked at Qin Jinghao again, whose face did not change at all, "Qin Qing was in charge of the military department before, and he had to take care of the affairs of the army, so he really worked hard to love Qing, and now with Luo Qing's help, it can be a lot easier." β
"Wechen, thank you for the emperor's compassion."
Qin Jinghao gave up his hand to thank him, how could he not know the emperor's thoughts, Luo Yao's background is clean, and he has never had any dealings with any of the forces, which is the easiest to control, since she wants to enter the military department, the emperor will push her easily, and he can also take the opportunity to plant eyeliner in his forces, he has monopolized the military power for many years, and he is entrenched in one of the forces in the court, no matter what the reason, the emperor's fear of him will not decrease.
It is precisely because he knows this truth very well, so Qin Jinghao tried his best to live in seclusion in the government, but even so, the emperor's suspicion of him has not changed.
is the most ruthless emperor's family, thinking that he Qin Jinghao has been fighting horses for half his life, and has conquered for the Western Qin, but in the end, he has to rely on a group of brothers who swear to follow him to maintain his life's achievements, which is really ridiculous.
Luo Yunyao didn't notice the tactful thoughts of the court, for her, she also had her own abacus when she chose the position of secretary of the military department.
The military department is a necessary place for the deployment of the army, and when she is on duty in the military department, she can also stay away from the struggle of some forces, and for her, there are more opportunities to touch some military power deployment.
Looking at Qin Jinghao who was in the first place, she didn't know what he was thinking, just looking at his slightly indifferent attitude just now, and his attitude in the inn that day, Luo Yunyao couldn't figure out his thoughts, and his insight made her unguardable, if she was on an errand under his men in the future, she must be cautious.
After retiring from the dynasty, Luo Yunyao originally wanted to go back with Du Yunsheng to pack her luggage and move into the Shangshu Mansion given by the emperor, but she was called by the little maid as soon as she left the palace, saying that General Qin Jinghao asked her to go over to the palace to hand over the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Ancient people are not good at this, the new official took office and let her pack up her things before going to work, Luo Yunyao complained all the way, until the carriage stopped at the door of the general's mansion, she coughed lightly, tidied up her clothes and appearance, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with it, and then she entered the general's study with the little girl.
Qin Jinghao's study is not as luxurious as the study of ordinary dignitaries, on the contrary, it is a bamboo wooden house, and there is a cluster of verdant bamboo forests next to the house, smelling the morning breath that is still in the forest after noon, Luo Yunyao can't help but guess, what kind of person Qin Jinghao is, if he is the general of the Western Qin Zhenguo who has killed countless enemies and shocked all directions, it can be seen that his appearance and the place where he lives are incompatible with words such as cruelty, domineering, and plagiarism, but it seems to be ......
Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
A poem suddenly jumped into her mind, and this sentence described his temperament exactly as well. Seeing the turquoise in front of them in a blink of an eye, many people were afraid that they would never have imagined that someone would link Qin Jinghao with a humble gentleman.
"Luo Shangshu, please wait a moment, the general will be here soon."
led people to the study, and the little servant politely left a word, and without waiting for Luo Yunyao to answer, he retreated by himself, with a well-trained style.
Luo Yunyao nodded in thanks, and when he completely withdrew from the door, he raised his head and looked at Qin Jinghao's study, which was facing a piece of words, a poem "Orchid Pavilion Preface", the penmanship was from beginning to end, vigorous and powerful, and the words between the lines were like flowing clouds, revealing a calm and subtle beyond ordinary people.
She walked slowly in front of the word screen, and was very surprised by the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" of this era, it stands to reason that she has traveled to the overhead era, there should be no such things, or is it that someone has traveled to this era like her......
Thinking about it, she didn't notice when a long figure appeared in front of the bamboo house, stepping on the sunlight that was leisurely shining into the house at noon, and approaching Luo Yunyao who was losing her mind step by step, and her light voice sounded in her ears, "Lord Luo has never seen this work?" β
"Ahh
Startled by the sudden voice, Luo Yunyao turned his head to look at him, Qin Jinghao was wearing a white robe, the cuffs and corners were embroidered with a light water pattern pattern, and the white jade hair was crowned high, leaking a full forehead, delicate eyebrows and a thin lip.
Thin lips are also thin. This is what her friend once told her for many years, saying that it is an immutable theorem. I think she didn't think so at the beginning, but now these words suddenly popped up in her heart, making her feel a little inexplicably panicked.
Forcefully suppressing her random thoughts, Luo Yunyao looked away, and at the same time looked at the calligraphy in front of her, "Xia Guan was fortunate to have seen this work by chance when he traveled before," she paused, raised her head and asked, "I don't know where this calligraphy and painting of the general came from?" β
"A friend's giveaway."
Qin Jinghao took two steps forward and stood side by side with her, just half a head above her, his scrutinizing gaze fell on her eyes casually, and the corners of his lips were playfully hooked, "That friend's handwriting has never been made in one pair, and I have never shown it to the public, dare to ask Lord Luo where he has seen this work?" β
Suddenly lost a beat of her heart, Luo Yunyao secretly screamed that it was not good, in front of his wise eyes that saw through the world, as if all conspiracies and lies would be seen through, a trace of sweat gradually oozed from her palms, and the corners of her mouth pulled a smile of embarrassment, and explained tentatively, "Maybe it is not necessarily revealed by people who have seen this painting?" β
Saying such words, Luo Yunyao herself felt fake, her heart was like a broken string, and she looked at the person in front of her tightly, as if his casual words could make it break instantly.
"Perhaps."
His gaze swept over her flustered eyes, Qin Jinghao didn't intend to ask, the three words fluttering, obviously didn't care much about her words, walked straight to the edge of the table in the room, and pointed to a stack of folded things on the table.
"This is an excerpt from the recent report on the affairs of the Ministry of War, I have already reviewed it, you just need to take it back and read it."
"Yes." Luo Yunyao replied with a steady heart.
As soon as she came out of her tense mind, Luo Yunyao was surprised that Qin Jinghao's words changed so suddenly, but did this mean that he let her go?
"On the other side, the book is the history of the transfer records of the military department over the years and the management and deployment of the military department, and you should familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Did you really let her go? When he first met at the inn, he guessed her identity, to be able to be in the position of a general, suspicious and worried thoughts are essential, coupled with her blatant entry into the Western Qin Dynasty, as well as the vague words just now, these clichΓ©s can deceive others, but they can't deceive his penetrating eyes.
"Lord Luo's new official has taken office, and he must not know much about the situation of the military department, if there is any problem in the future, just come to me!"
"Yes."
Qin Jinghao said several words in a row, and seeing Luo Yunyao's frowning expression, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he suddenly found that it was quite interesting to look at his thinking.
And Luo Yunyao, who was still immersed in her own thoughts, didn't realize that this man had been looking at her for a long time.
"That's it. Now we can talk about personal matters, how is Brother Luo doing in the capital recently? β
Due to habit, Luo Yunyao just wanted to say 'yes', but suddenly realized that something was wrong, and forcibly held back the word and changed it to: "It's okay." β
Qin Jinghao saw that her eyes were still lowered, and explained lightly: "In the inn that day, I and Cangshu didn't mean to hide it, but it was inconvenient to reveal our identities outside. β
"yes, I know."
Knowing that they were concealing their identities, Luo Yunyao was not surprised, but what was surprising was that Qin Jinghao was explaining to her? She and him are just shallow friends.
Luo Yunyao felt more and more that she couldn't understand the person in front of her, no, it should be that she had never really seen this person clearly, when you found out that he saw through your thoughts and was a threat to you, he could always stop and laugh at all her cover-ups.
When dealing with such people, I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune.
Unconsciously, Luo Yunyao's attitude towards Qin Jinghao gradually changed slightly, this is a sense of crisis towards the unknown, and it is also a curiosity to treat him to see through the truth of things.
But no matter what happens next, when she doesn't know whether Qin Jinghao is friend or foe for the time being, she can't avoid guarding against him.
The things that came to the General's Mansion were almost done, Luo Yunyao thought that she needed enough time to sober herself up now, and thought that she would go back to Du Yunsheng to pack her things later, and she would report to the military department today, and the time was also a little rushed, so she didn't wait for Qin Jinghao to speak again, and hurriedly gave her leave, "It's not too early, if the general has nothing else to do, the lower official wants to leave first." β
"Don't worry," Seeing that he was leaving, Qin Jinghao raised his eyes sideways to look at him, his hand seemed to be on the fold next to the table, and his faint voice sounded again, sincerely invited, "Brother Luo might as well have lunch in the General's Mansion before leaving?" β
"No need, no need," Luo Yunyao dared to stay in the General's Mansion for a long time, three times she saw Qin Jinghao, she had twice gone wrong, where did she dare to have too much communication with him, now she can't wait to leave this place quickly, "The lower official has to go back to pack up his things, move into Shangshu Mansion, and report to the military department in the afternoon......"
The voice grew quieter, and she thought, with his mind, probably knew what she was trying to say.
Her words have come to this point, Qin Jinghao is indeed not polite, knowing that she must still have a faint guard against him in her heart, and she will not keep her more, and smiled apologetically at Luo Yunyao, "It's that I didn't think it through." β
"The general's kindness, the subordinate understands it, so if there is no command, the subordinate will leave."
"Hmm."
