The monarch and the minister are not early in the day, according to the rules of Daqi, normally there is a five-day dynasty, but now in the autumn, he needs to be busy with the triennial palace test and the transfer of officials, after Qin Xun returned to Beijing, he looked at his father and brother in the court these days a lot more frequently, almost every day, his father who was a general in two dynasties and the eldest brother of the fifteen worship officials have long been accustomed to the fact that there will always be so many times in the whole year, and the second brother Qin Xiao, who is worthy of being an official in the military department, is obviously not so comfortable, and the days of the dynasty have been several days, When Qin Xun had his last lunch in the General's Mansion before entering the palace yesterday, he saw Qin Xiao Qingjun at the dinner table, and his two eye sockets were obviously blue and black.

After all, Qin Xiao already had a family, Qin Xun couldn't help but ridicule the meat remark of "The second brother was sucked dry by the spirit of the second brother".

Although Qi Jing was reluctant to be absent from the early court today due to illness, the emperor will not be harsh when he sees it with his own eyes, but for the civil and military officials of today's last dynasty, the three highnesses supervised the tour of the south of the Yangtze River, and returned to Beijing yesterday, and the morning dynasty should never be absent today.

Qin Xun went to Qi Jing's desk desk to rummage through and sort, Qi Jing's desk case has always been neat and orderly, and after a few clicks, Qin Xun turned out the book he wrote yesterday afternoon about the Jiangnan Supervision and Patrol matters, Qin Xun went to sit on the wooden chair, planning to read the contents of this fold roughly first, and sat down, and Qing Yan stepped into the study door with two things in his hand.

"The third prince should not forget these two things." She gently placed Qi Jing's white jade waist card and elephant wat on the table.

Qin Xun glanced at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Sister is intimate." When he came to the study, he remembered that the ministers had to hold the wat board and clearly indicate the identity of the waist card, and he was going to take it back to the inner room after the music Qi Jing put these two things to get it, but who knew that Qing Yan sent it.

When he saw Qing Yan, he asked again: "When you come to the study, who will accompany your Royal Highness?" ”

"Son, don't worry, Imperial Doctor Chen will take care of His Highness's side for the time being." Qing Yan took out a wooden comb from his sleeve and said, "The slave maid is here to comb for the third son, the court is solemn, and the son's appearance must not be lost." ”

Her movements were skillful and gentle, Qin Xun took a rough look at the folds, put it down and straightened her neck to fiddle with her, and couldn't help but joke: "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will go outside and act indiscriminately under the banner of the Third Highness?" ”

Qing Yan sighed softly: "Childe, don't joke, there are many close people around His Royal Highness, and the Third Prince of Qin, can make the slave and maid fully trust, and it will never be disadvantageous to His Highness." She quickly gave him a half-bundle and half-loose combing his hair, sighed again, and patted him lightly on the top of the head, "Although the child may have a pampered temper." ”

Qin Xun laughed: "My sister never praises me much." ”

When Qin Xun rushed to the Taiji Hall where the monarch and ministers were discussing politics, he estimated in his heart that the early dynasty was already more than half, but he was not in a hurry, and said lazily, it was already late left and right, and there was no difference between more and less delay, but seriously, it was a taboo for ministers to be late for the early dynasty, 10,000

Unfortunately, the emperor was not in a good mood on the day he bumped into it, and he could drag people out to play the board with a word, and he couldn't be dismissed.

Qin Xun just relied on Qi Jing, who was not an incumbent minister, to delay the delay when he knew that he had settled the sick Qi Jing, and the so-called "holy favor" that the king of this country had always treated his son leniently, he had no scruples.

He was not without a cheeky thought, since His Majesty the Emperor had even done the matter of taking his life, then don't blame him for blatantly squandering the favor and favor that His Majesty the Emperor gave him.

At the gate of the Taiji Palace, Qin Xun was stopped by the guards guarding the door.

Qin Xun knocked his forehead with an "oh", held the elephant wat in one hand, and untied the white jade waist card on his waist with the other hand and handed it to them.

The privilege pass token of Daqi is a gold pass token engraved with the word "royal", which can freely enter and exit the entire imperial city except for the Weiyang Palace in the Taiji Hall and the Emperor's Residence Xuanshu Palace, and the emperor only gave the third prince of the Qin family such a pass token a few years ago. Generally speaking, foreign ministers in the palace are required to waist cards, engraved on the name of the identity, see the palace guards show after the labor to inform the hall master, can only be allowed to enter, the waist card material is also divided according to the official grade, the royal family wear white jade waist card, the officials above the fifth grade wear the green jade waist card, and the officials below the fifth grade can only wear the wooden waist card.

After all, Qin Xun is the first time to go to the court, although as the son of an important minister, he knows more or less about the rules, but he has never practiced it himself, and when he first arrived at this Zhuanghua Taiji Palace, he couldn't help but be a little rusty.

The white jade waist card, the guards didn't dare to touch it, they only glanced at Qin Xun's outstretched palm, and exclaimed: "Third, Third Highness? But Childe, you are ......"

Qin Xun smiled and hung the waist card back on his waist, and said, "A few people went in to report it, and said that His Royal Highness was sick, and Qin Weizhi went to court on his behalf." ”

The guards didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly entered the Taiji Hall.

Qin Xun rubbed the elephant wat in his hand and waited patiently, saying that the wat board held by the ministers and officials in the early court was the same as the waist card, and it was also divided into grades, the emperor and the officials above the fifth grade held the elephant wat, and the officials below the fifth grade held the wooden wat. Qin Xun's piece of Qi Jing's elephant wat in his hand may have been rubbed by hand for many years, smooth and smooth, and has an excellent touch.

The guards went in for a long time, and after a while, they came out of the hall, and saluted Qin Xun respectfully: "Third Prince Qin, please." ”

Qin Xun smiled and said "Thank you", and strode into the Taiji Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair on the high platform in front of him, and the military officials below him knelt on both sides of the hall.

The young man is still young, and he smiles with a smile, although he has just come to this hall, he is not timid, and everyone's son is full of bearing.

Qin Xun glanced at the different expressions of the ministers, and also caught a glimpse of the surprised appearance of his father, uncle and second brother, as well as the playful expression of his eldest brother Qin Huai.

He didn't squint, with a decent smile on his lips, he walked straight to the middle of the hall, and bowed down to the ninety-five on the high dragon chair with a flick of his clothes: "Minister Qin Xun, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

"Micro flat." The Emperor raised his hand to the throne.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Xun got up and held it with both hands

Xiang Wat on his chest, bowed his head slightly, bowed his waist and said, "Your Majesty, the three highnesses are lying in bed in a coma with a cold wind, and I privately think that the Jiangnan Governor should not delay the report. ”

Before the emperor could answer, Qu Boyong, the right minister, had already spoken: "The old man asked the third prince of Qin, in what capacity did he go to the court on behalf of the third highness?" Not to mention that the third prince of Qin has no official position, even if he does, wouldn't he be arrogant to go to court as a minister on behalf of the prince? ”

"Right Phase." The emperor was obviously a little displeased, "I have already said that I have returned to the city today to accompany my mother to give birth to a cool air, and I fainted under my nose, I am already very distressed, I wanted to put the Jiangnan supervision and inspection matters for a few days, and I was sensible and submitted it in time, why should I think too much about it." ”

The emperor was displeased, and Qu Boyong had been weighing and being fat for many years, and he arbitrarily interjected before the emperor spoke, but such a remark made Qin Xun roughly understand why he waited outside the palace for the guards to come in and wait for so long, and eighty percent said that he Qin Weizhi came and someone was dissatisfied with the delay of saying a few more words to the emperor.

The emperor will naturally favor him, after so many years, if Qin Xun can't figure out the emperor's mind at all, then he will be stupid, if Qi Jing is sick in the palace, Qin Xun suddenly appeared on behalf of the emperor to catch the emperor off guard, then the emperor is most likely unhappy, but Qi Jing fainted in front of the emperor, the emperor knows in his heart, seeing Qin Xun's dynasty, in the eyes of the emperor, it can be regarded as a general understanding of the overall situation.

After the emperor dealt with Qu Boyong, he really praised Qin Xun for a few words, so he ordered the great eunuch Wu Gonggong next to him to go down and take the recital presented by Qin Xun, carefully flipped through the first few pages, and suddenly asked Qin Xun aloud: "Weizhi, I originally returned to the city to start playing, I have to ask one or two details about the recital affairs, today you submitted it, can you do it on your behalf?" ”

"Your Majesty, when the minister was in Jiangnan with the Third Highness that day, he only heard a little about the affairs of the Third Highness Pingzhou.

"Oh?" The emperor turned the page of the notebook in his hand, but his eyes turned to the young man in the middle of the seat, as if he was smiling, "Wei Zhidai returned to the city to present me with this notebook, but he didn't read it first in case I asked, but it was not thoughtful enough." ”

"The ministers were terrified, and they did not dare to read the recital." Qin Xun's back was a little deeper, and he hung his head to hide the light in his eyes.

Of course, he has read this fold, that is to know in his heart, he will not care about the emperor on behalf of Qi Jing, and he may even have some praise for him, but as long as he clearly says that the son of a courtier like him has seen the folds presented by His Royal Highness the prince to his father in advance, Qin Xun believes that His Majesty the emperor in front of him can immediately be angry and punish himself.

He now clearly understands that under the favor and favor of His Majesty the current emperor of Daqi, what he should do, what he should not do, what can be tossed in the open, and what can only be secretly manipulated.

But Qin Xun can't really ask three questions. He came to this Taiji Hall so blatantly today under the banner of "Acting for His Royal Highness", and all the civil and military officials were thinking about it, and almost everyone knew it

He Qin Weizhi, the third son of Qin, and the three princes returned to the city in the same boat, if he really couldn't say anything for the first time, just make a wooden stake on the hall after presenting the pestle, and a trip to the Taiji Hall today would be considered wasted, so he and Qi Jing couldn't help but make people secretly ridicule.

Qin Xun was interested, the emperor was a lot of pleasure, and asked him some Pingzhou matters, he only replied to Qi Jing's private reading of all things on the fold, and mixed some of his own opinions decently, the emperor bowed his head, as if he ordered him to retreat to the place where Qi Jing knelt on weekdays.

Qin Xun was not shocked in the faintly surprised whispered conversation in the official columns on both sides behind him, smiled slightly and saluted to thank him, and really fell and sat in Qi Jing's position in a generous manner, slightly tilted his head to Qi Xuan on the right and smiled at Qi Xuan Qi Jue, and then turned his head to the left, and met the little boy with a feminine face in a pair of faintly resentful eyes.

Most of the young people in Daqi studied before the crown, and they only sought official careers at the age of twenty and after the crown, except for a few people like Xi Guangling and Qin Huai, who were both fifteen-year-old officials. The prince is not, on the surface, it is said that the prince is also the crown of the dynasty, but in fact, the prince's qualifications for the dynasty are all things that their emperor's father should not allow a word, naturally it depends on the talent and favor of each son.

The emperor favored Qi Jing, and Qi Jing was indeed outstanding, when Qin Xun was still at home when he was a child and played with his temper for the after-dinner snacks that did not suit his taste, the little Qi Jing, who was not yet ten years old, had already obtained his father's permission to stand in front of the courtiers and follow the court.

A few days after Xiao Qi Jing went to court, His Royal Highness Dao Yun San, a courtier headed by Qu Boyong, the right minister, crossed the two elder brothers who were a few years older and accompanied the court alone, and the emperor was reluctant to have three sons, so he agreed to the qualifications of the emperor's eldest son Qi Xuan and the emperor's second son Qi Xuan.

And the fourth prince, Qi Lang, was uneasy to calm down after knowing that Qi Jing was allowed to go to the court, and he relied on his pampering to soak with the emperor for several years, and only got permission in his early tens.
