After Chen Qun and his entourage came to the outside of the imperial study, the little eunuch guarding the door asked about the situation and said with a deep face: "You guys are waiting outside, I'll go in and report." ”

Soon, the little eunuch came out of the imperial study: "Your Majesty has an order, Xuan Chen Qun will meet you." ”

Chen Qun then comforted Tang Zhou's five children, and then walked into the imperial study. Chen Qun thought that the imperial study would be very large, but he didn't expect it to be not much, just fifty square meters, Chen Qun used his spare eyes to catch a glimpse of a man in a dragon robe and bowed: "Chen Qun, the captain of the shooting sound battalion, see Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Ling nodded: "Chen Duwei is exempt!" Sit down and say. ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he saluted the Emperor Ling again, and then sat down on the chair on the side, only then did he look at the Emperor Ling, and found that the Emperor Ling was actually a very young person, thinking about it, the age of the Emperor Ling at this time was less than thirty years old, and it could be said that it was back then.

Emperor Ling smiled slightly when he saw Chen Qun looking at him: "Duwei Chen, I heard that you are from the Chen family in Yingchuan?" ”

Chen Qun nodded and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Chen Yu is the grandfather of the minister." ”

Emperor Ling nodded: "Not bad!" He is a young and promising person! You have made great contributions to the rebellion against Tang Zhou this time, you should be rewarded, what do you want? ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun got up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want any reward, the minister only asks Your Majesty to let go of the family members of the Taiping Dao believers, they may not participate in the Taiping Dao, the minister doesn't want to see innocent people implicated, and I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Ling frowned and looked at Chen Qun: "Duwei Chen, do you know that on the way you came just now, the Taiping Dao maniacs slaughtered the Tang Zhou family and set fire to the Tang Mansion?" ”

"What?" Chen Qun looked at the Spirit Emperor in shock.

Emperor Ling looked at the stunned Chen Qun and smiled slightly: "Do you still have to protect the family members of those fanatics now?" ”

Chen Qun thought that he was still in the Tang Mansion not long ago to talk to Tang Zhou, but now that he was already in the same place, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, but he tried his best to control his emotions and hugged his fist to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, I still hope that you can forgive the family members of the Taiping Dao believers, if nothing else, just because they are all the people of my Han Dynasty." ”

"Enough! What's the use of the big man asking them to be fanatics? They don't think about God's grace, but they deliberately rebel, and their family members know that they don't report it, which is the same crime! For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty, these people must all be killed! The Spirit Emperor said angrily.

Chen Qun was not timid because of Emperor Ling's anger, he still hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, do you know how many believers in the Taiping Dao are?" The minister told you conservatively that there are at least five million, and if you count their families, then at least fifteen million, is your majesty going to kill all these people? How many people can I kill in the Han Dynasty? Kill them all, what do you do? ”

Chen Qun actually wanted to say that if you kill them all, who will you be the emperor, but he changed his words again, because those words would bring him death. But the Spirit Emperor didn't understand what he meant.

"Smack!"

After Chen Qun finished speaking, the Spirit Emperor directly gave Chen Qun a slap: "You don't talk nonsense!" Where did I get so many thieves from the Han Dynasty! If you talk nonsense, be careful that I want your head! ”

Chen Qun stopped speaking when he heard this, not because he was afraid of death, but because he knew that no matter what he said to Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling had been in a high position for a long time and was used to listening to the flattery of the people around him, so he couldn't listen to the truth, and Chen Qun also sobered up because of that slap, he had no intention of explaining anything to Emperor Ling, and the Han Dynasty felt that he couldn't save him.

After Emperor Ling finished beating Chen Qun, he glared at Chen Qun's eyes angrily: "I will not kill you today if you have merit in plotting against Tang Zhou, but your lieutenant should stop doing it, people like you are not suitable to stay in the army." ”

"The grass people take the order!" After Chen Qun finished speaking, he handed over the talisman on his body.

After taking it, Emperor Ling frowned and said: "I am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, I only accept your military power because of your sympathy for the Taiping Dao people, your indiscriminate sympathy will harm the Chen family, and you will retreat if there is nothing else." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun hugged his fists again and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people were in the Tang Mansion just before they came, and the grass people brought Tang Zhou's five children together and asked Your Majesty to send them down." ”

Emperor Ling frowned when he heard this: "It's a good thing that you rescued all the five children of Tang Zhou, and they have no one to take care of them, so I bother you to take care of them personally to grow up, the Yingchuan Chen family has a profound cultural heritage, and you will take care of the children of the heroes, I can rest assured." Remembering his father's merits, I will reward each of the five of them with 20,000 yuan, which will be used as maintenance for you to take care of them, and you will also take over the Tang family's property! I will no longer reward you. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness to the meritorious ministers!" On behalf of Tang Zhou, the grass people thanked His Majesty Longen! ”

Emperor Ling nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Chen Qun thought for a moment and then hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people still have something to ask for. ”

Chen Qun thought of his previous plan to build the Shaolin Temple, and finally met Emperor Ling, so Chen Qun proposed to Emperor Ling again.

Emperor Ling's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and his face was impatient: "Say." ”

Chen Qun hugged his fist at Emperor Ling and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people want to buy Shaomu Mountain. ”

Emperor Ling was originally sad about the 100,000 yuan he had promised to Chen Qun just now, and he felt that he had given too much, so he was impatient, and when he heard Chen Qun's words, Emperor Ling instantly became interested again, and he looked at Chen Qun with bright eyes: "You want to buy Shaomu Mountain?" ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know what you think?" ”

Emperor Ling blinked when he heard this, and said in his heart: "The whole world is not the king's land, you bought Shaomu Mountain is your Chen family?" At that time, if the imperial court wants to take it back, it will confiscate your Chen family's property by giving you a big hat casually.

Although Emperor Ling thought so in his heart, he couldn't show it like this, but frowned and looked at Chen Qun: "I don't know what you want to buy Shaomu Mountain for?" ”

Chen Qun hugged his fists without thinking about it: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are dedicated to the Buddha, and the grass people want to build a big temple on Shaomu Mountain, one is to fulfill the wishes of the grass people, and the other is to educate the people to be good." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Ling looked at Chen Qun in shock: "Are you using it to build a temple?" That's a good thing! I've got you. It's just that this price is ......, although you are doing a good deed, but in the future, this Shaomuro Mountain will nominally be your Chen family's property. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty is too worried!" As long as His Majesty agrees to sell Shaomuro Mountain to the grass people, the grass people will be grateful, and the price will be as long as His Majesty is satisfied. ”

Emperor Ling blinked when he heard this, he thought of the 100,000 yuan he had promised to Chen Qun just now, plus the Tang Zhou family's property was almost worth one million yuan, so Emperor Ling looked at Chen Qun's eyes and smiled: "This Shaomu Mountain is also five or six thousand mu in size, and I will calculate it for you according to two hundred yuan per mu, and I will also get one million yuan." Thinking that you have contributed to the court, I will give you less than 100,000 yuan, just 900,000 yuan, what do you think? ”

The corners of Chen Qun's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty's price is very reasonable, but the grass people don't have so much money, and the grass people still need to raise money, and I hope that Your Majesty can allow the grass people to raise money for a while." ”

Emperor Ling's eyes rolled when he heard this: "In this way, Chen Aiqing, you don't need to raise money, the Tang family also knows the industry in Luoyang, how do you see this, you give me all the Tang family's property in Luoyang, how about we have two clear?" Mt. Shomuro belongs to you. ”

Chen Qun frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what should be done with the Tang family's courtyard?" ”

Emperor Ling smiled when he heard this: "Of course it belongs to you, the Tang family's property does not include the Tang family's residence." ”

Chen Qun thought for a while and hugged his fists and said, "Okay!" It's just that since then, the grass people can't explain to Tang Zhou's five children. ”

The Spirit Emperor frowned slightly: "This is your problem." If you agree, I will immediately have someone write down the paperwork. ”

"The grass people agree!" Chen Qun clenched his fists in confusion, he felt very fresh about the Spirit Emperor's proposal.

Soon, Emperor Ling sent a scribe and ordered Chen Qun to explain the matter to the scribe clearly, the scribe immediately wrote down two copies of the same note, Chen Qun pressed his handprint on the two documents, and Emperor Ling stamped his seal.

After Chen Qun left the imperial study, he touched the paperwork in his sleeve, feeling a little unbelievable that he actually got Shaomuro Mountain like this.

After Chen Qun came back to his senses, he saw Tang Wu's children waiting outside and smiled: "Okay, it's okay!" Let's go. ”

The commander of the guards asked Emperor Ling for instructions, and then let Chen Qun and Tang Zhou's five children leave.

After Chen Qun left the palace with Tang Zhou's five children, he was excited and confused, because he got Shaomu Mountain, which Emperor Ling personally sold to him, but he didn't know where to raise money to build the temple.

"Brother, we're hungry!"

Chen Qun came back to his senses when he heard this, touched his pocket and couldn't help frowning: "This, can you bear with it any longer?" My brother will take you to meet someone, and then we'll go buy food. ”

The eldest girl whispered, "Brother, are we out of danger?" ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Yes!" We're out of danger! ”

"Brother, don't you have any money on you?" The girl then asked.

Chen Qun smiled slightly: "My brother has spent all the money on his body, but don't be afraid, my brother will take you to a place where there is food." ”

"Brother, we have money on us, and when my mother asked us to go with you, she put ten gold on each of us." The girl looked into Chen Qun's eyes and said.

Hearing this, Chen Qun said with a deep face: "You keep the money your mother gave you, and my brother can get the money." ”

Hearing this, the girl looked at the two seven or eight-year-old boys behind her, and then the three of them nodded in unison, and the girl continued: "Brother, didn't my father give you a key?" ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Yes, your father gave me a key, but I don't know what the key is for?" ”

When the girl heard this, she said, "My mother said that the key is the key to the box where my father hid his belongings, and my mother will take you to find the box after we get out of danger." ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "This is really good! Do you know where the box is? ”

The girl nodded: "We all know that the box was placed by my father in another courtyard he bought, and that courtyard is in the eastern district of the city. ”

Chen Qun nodded when he heard this: "Okay, let's go there now." ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he picked up the youngest girl, and then walked to the east of the city with the four children.

As soon as Chen Qun and the six of them were far away from the palace, they shot six feather arrows from the darkness directly opposite, and Chen Qun only had time to pounce on the biggest girl who was talking to him in front of him after hearing the sound, and the other three boys didn't have time to greet him before they heard three "poof, poof, poof" three times.

Three screams followed, and three boys were killed by arrows at the same time.
