Chapter 9: Qin Qiong brainwashed Xia Ren?
Xiao Guizi was telling the story, Xia Ren was in a daze, and the guards were vigilantly observing the surroundings.
This situation did not last long, and the restaurant's signature dishes were already being delivered one after another.
Xiao Guizi first eats a bite of each dish, and then runs a special method, if it is poisonous, it will be poisoned immediately, and there will be no incubation period. This is a necessary skill for the accompanying eunuchs in the palace.
After Xiao Guizi confirmed that it was okay, Xia Ren began to taste it, not to mention, although the ingredients were not as good as those in the palace, the taste was much better than those in the palace.
For more than a month, Xia Ren has eaten medicinal food every day, and the taste is really not good, even if he goes to Li Guifei, for the sake of Xia Ren's body, Li Guifei is also a medicinal diet made by people.
At this moment, as soon as he ate the delicious dishes, Xia Ren was a little uncontrollable, after all, he was born in a big foodie country in his previous life, how could there be no foodie factor in his body.
Xia Ren couldn't eat anymore, and he was still a little unsatisfied.
But I have to find a way to meet Qin Qiong.
After thinking for a while, Xia Ren told Xiao Guizi that he was a little tired and asked him to take him to the guest room to rest.
Xia Ren followed Xiao Guizi to the guest room, and asked them all to retreat, and he wanted to take a nap.
After Xiao Guizi and the others went out, Xia Ren sat at the table and waited.
Sure enough, Xia Ren was not disappointed, a gust of wind blew in the room, and when he looked again, there was already a person standing at the table.
This person is Qin Qiong,,,
Qin Qiong has a slender body, a square face, and a majestic aura that emanates from the inside out
As soon as he saw Xia Ren, he knelt down on one knee and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "The last general, Qin Qiong, meet the lord." ”
"Hurry up, please get up", Xia Ren hurriedly helped up the first general under his command.
This is Qin Qiong! A masterpiece of the ancients, a character who has been passed down for 14,500 years!
Even if in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the stars were shining, even if Qin Qiong was not the most eye-catching one among them, it was still a top-ranked existence. If he hadn't died early, it is estimated that his achievements would have been even greater.
"Thank you, lord!"
Qin Qiong got up, stood straight at a height of nearly one meter nine, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, I don't know what arrangements are made for Qin Qiong?"
Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Xia Ren was a little embarrassed, because he only cared about coming to see Qin Qiong, and he didn't think about how to arrange him.
"Uncle Bao, do you have any prospects for your future?" Xia Ren had to cough to hide his embarrassment.
Qin Qiong's face was solemn, and he said without hesitation: "The last general is willing to use the sword in the hands of the lord, open the territory for the lord, conquer the Quartet, and sweep away all enemies." ”
Xia Ren was stunned, this Qin Qiong's ideal is a bit big.
Xia Ren had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Uncle Bao, I admire your ideal, and I can feel your heart to serve the country, but I am only a minor prince now, and I may disappoint you with your ideal." ”
Qin Qiong said proudly: "Don't worry, the last general doesn't need to be embarrassed, the last general went out to travel, and met a woman, this woman is the Southern Barbarian Prefecture, one of the three major legions, the dragon chasing legion, the daughter of the legion commander Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan was the last general, as long as the last general married his daughter, he let the last general go to the dragon chasing army as a general in charge of five hundred people."
As long as the last general can make meritorious contributions, the lord can recruit a few more colleagues, and I believe that in the future, with the assistance of the last general and all his colleagues, he will be able to open up a peaceful and prosperous world for the lord. ”
Xia Ren looked confused, what was Qin Qiong talking about? Was he instigating me to be the emperor? Isn't it tiring to be the emperor? Or is he showing off that he has a terrible father-in-law?
"Lord?" Looking at Xia Ren's stunned expression, Qin Qiong was a little puzzled.
Could it be that my lord was stunned by my ambition?
Xia Ren came back to his senses and said speechlessly: "Uncle Bao, I agree with your idea in principle, but I feel that I may not have that much ability to fight a peaceful and prosperous world, and my personality is a little lazy, so I may not be able to manage this peaceful and prosperous world." ”
After listening to Xia Ren's words,
Qin Qiong said with a resolute face: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely give you a peaceful and prosperous era, as for management, doesn't the lord still trust your colleagues?"
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he saw that Xia Ren was still a little hesitant, so he instantly said to Xia Ren with a solemn face: "Lord!"
Xia Ren looked up and saw that Qin Qiong's face was full of solemnity, and then asked Qin Qiong, "Uncle Bao, what's the matter?" Why is his face suddenly so heavy. ”
"Does the lord know the specific situation of the states of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Without waiting for Xia Ren to answer, Qin Qiong continued.
"There were 10 states in the Great Xia Dynasty, Lingzhou in the north, Yanzhou in the north, Haizhou in the east, Kangzhou in the west, Sizhou, Yuzhou in the west, Manzhou in the south, Xuzhou, Weizhou, and finally Xia in the middle.
The two northern states bordered the Tamu Dynasty, which was worry-free for the time being, and the east was also worry-free by the sea, but the southern barbarian states bordered the barbarian empire, and the barbarian empires were all barbarians, not educated, and often crossed the border, and came to our country to burn and loot, and the people of the barbarian states were miserable, but the three major armies of the barbarian states could only focus on defense and did not dare to attack, resulting in hundreds of people dying at the hands of barbarians every year.
The Great Chu Dynasty in the West, the founding time is longer than that of Great Xia, the national strength is strong, often invade our dynasty Sizhou, capture the people and go back to mining, Sizhou is simply unable to resist, plus the Zhenzhou Dazong of Sizhou, the Wuji Demon Palace helps to abuse, wantonly kills people and exercises, causing the people of Sizhou to live in dire straits all the time.
If it weren't for the support of the Zhenzhou Sect Fighting Holy Sect of General Kang from time to time, and the hard support of the three major legions in the west, Sizhou would have already fallen.
Moreover, the last general had heard a gossip that the current Xia Huang had been assassinated when he was on patrol three years ago, and although the assassin was killed on the spot, he heard that the Xia Emperor was seriously injured and may have injured Shouyuan.
Now the people in the court are unstable, and many ministers have sided with the princes, and some have even colluded with foreign enemies. It is estimated that the battle for the heir will be staged soon.
Your Royal Highness, now that Daxia is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is impossible for you to stay out of the matter, the country does not exist, and Mao will be attached. Besides, will they really let you go during the battle for succession?
Your Highness, you are a man who obeys the destiny of heaven, otherwise how would you resurrect us who have died, this is the one sent by Heaven to save the world when he saw the people in deep distress!"
After listening to Qin Qiong's remarks, Xia Ren was a little stunned.
Has the Great Xia Dynasty reached such a point? There are two great powers on the outside, evil sects on the inside, and the upcoming battle for succession.
No wonder Xia Ren hasn't seen Emperor Xia for a long time, and his feelings have been seriously injured, even hurting Shouyuan.
No wonder those princes dare to worry about the throne, it turns out that they know that Emperor Xia can't be on the throne for too long, otherwise they don't dare to worry about the throne if they have ten guts, the contemporary Emperor Xia is in the prime of life, only 64 years old.
In this environment, how did Xia Ren start his life as an idle prince? How to be a gentleman? The key is to live?
Thinking of this, Xia Ren suddenly felt uneasy, he didn't sleep well, and he always felt that someone would harm him.
Hurriedly turned to Qin Qiong and asked, "What is Shubao's good plan?"
Qin Qiong paused, and clenched his fists in a deep voice: "Don't worry, before you are a minor, you are still safe, in these five years, the last general will definitely do his best to make meritorious contributions, so that the lord can recruit colleagues, and when the lord is an adult, he will immediately ask Emperor Xia to canonize the throne and fief, and then use the fief as a base, and all colleagues will work together to not worry about the success of the great cause." ”
"Didn't you say that my father hurt Shouyuan, what if he was gone five years later? What if my imperial brothers launched a battle for the heir in advance? And is it really safe in the palace? What if someone assassinates me?" Xia Ren still had some doubts.
Qin Qiong said solemnly: "According to rumors, even if Emperor Xia is seriously injured, he can last at least ten years, or even longer, so His Highness doesn't have to worry about taking the heir in advance." As for the safety of His Royal Highness, you can rest assured, there are many masters in the palace, which is enough to protect the safety of His Royal Highness, and there is also the queen Li Guifei here, Li Guifei's strength is unfathomable, and she can also protect the lord and princess. ”
"Queen Mother?'s strength is unfathomable?" Xia Ren was suddenly puzzled.
In Xia Ren's impression, Concubine Li has always been gentle and graceful, down-to-earth and generous, treating him and Xia Xi very well, not like a very high martial arts officer?
"Yes, before Li Guifei entered the palace, she was a famous Ziyun Fairy in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many people died under her sword, Li Guifei entered the palace at the age of 23, and she had already achieved metamorphosis at that time, which shocked the entire Great Xia for a while.
Now that he has been in the palace for nearly thirty years, his martial arts are even more unfathomable. According to the general's estimates, it may have been entered into the holy womb. Qin Qiong said in a deep voice.
After listening to Qin Qiong's story, Xia Ren felt a little incredulous, he usually spoiled himself all the time, and sometimes teased his mother, he was actually a master.
