Chapter 51: The Emperor
Huangfu Guangming actually came back, Qin Shaofu was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, so he followed Huangfu Changqing towards the palace. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince dared to make this decision, he should have been instructed by his father to do so.
There were too many surprises in this matter, and he needed to know the answer, but he didn't expect that it would be the emperor himself who would come and tell him.
After walking for a while, Huangfu Changqing opened his mouth and asked, "What happened after that day, why are you and that killer not in the prison anymore?"
Qin Shaofu said lightly with an expressionless face: "We will answer together in a while." “
There is no doubt that when the emperor is bright, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty will definitely ask this question. The trouble is that I haven't come up with a reasonable explanation yet.
Such a refusal was extremely unreasonable, but Huangfu Changqing did not show displeasure.
When he arrived at the palace, he made a noise, waited for a while, and headed inside under the guidance of a chamberlain. After walking for a while, Qin Shaofu suddenly remembered and asked, "What about Tang Changjie, how is he?"
"It's been sent back!" Huangfu Changqing said: "This time I was not lightly frightened, and I need to cultivate well." “
"It's cheaper for him!" Qin Shaofu snorted coldly, he was still going to plant a seed of fear in that guy's psyche.
Huangfu Changqing opened his mouth, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't say it after all.
When he was young, the emperor Guangming had the reputation of being diligent in government, but later he was also abandoned, and now he is more focused on cultivation when he is older. Most of the affairs in the court are handled by the eldest son, Huangfu Changping, and there are major matters that are inconvenient to deal with.
This is also why everyone thinks that the emperor values this eldest son who does not have a divine martial soul more, after all, it is not the emperor or the prince to deal with government affairs.
At this time, the emperor was in the imperial garden, there was no noisy music and dance, only a few palace maids waiting. After seeing the two of them coming, he waved his hand and let the idlers and others retreat.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
Although his personality is a little irritable, Qin Shaofu still knows when to pay attention. At this moment, he also put away his usual appearance and stepped forward to give a big gift.
It's better to be careful, after all, he is the Ninety-Five Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, and he also beat his son to a serious injury not long ago.
"Excuse me, come and sit!"
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Guangming was not as serious as he imagined, but very easy-going, and at first glance, his voice was like an uncle or elder in the family.
After sitting down with Huangfu Changqing, Qin Shaofu looked at it with his spare eyes.
This emperor, who is known for his moodiness in the outside world, does not have that kind of frightening momentum at the moment. Wearing casual clothes, he is a little amiable.
His eyes are full of vitality that does not match his age, but his gray hair and decrepit body are telling others that this is an old man in his old age.
"Father!" Huangfu Changqing said softly: "Don't let Wang Yushi know about your meal." “
The stone table is not big, and there are only ten dishes on the table, but even Qin Shaofu can see that these dishes are by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Steamed eggs made of yellow paste crab roe and one-inch-long whitebait soup, just the two he knew cost dozens of taels of silver, not to mention the others he didn't know.
Just this table of dishes, at least three hundred taels of silver, is really luxurious. If you let those imperial historians who are famous for admonishing the monarch know, I am afraid that they will have to nag for a few days.
"Those people, they are the most uneasy!" the emperor snorted, and then asked: "Persuade me to be frugal and simple all day long, what do you think of Qin Zhutou?"
Qin Shaofu was stunned for a moment, not wanting the other party to ask him this, and after a little hesitation, he said seriously: "People are quiet to cultivate themselves, and thrifty is to cultivate virtue." These things are always true. “
Huangfu Changqing also nodded and said: "The extravagant are in disgrace and the thrifty are safe, but there is some truth." “
The emperor smiled, then looked at Qin Shaofu and asked, "You really think so?"
"No!" Qin Shaofu shook his head: "That's what I think for them, as for myself, why eat bad if I can eat well? I work so hard to make money, don't I just want to eat what others can't eat, and play what others can't play!"
Huangfu Changqing took a deep breath and glared at him.
The emperor burst into laughter: "Okay, when I heard your rumors, I felt that I would meet my temper, and when I saw it today, it was really so." Changqing, learn a little, I sat on the throne of this emperor, not to endure hardship. “
Huangfu Changqing bowed his head, speechless.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome!" The emperor put some dishes in Qin Shaofu's bowl: "Today's banquet is to thank you." As soon as I come, I feel like you are teaching my son for me!"
Here it comes...... Qin Shaofu hurriedly got up and took a step back: "The minister was really helpless that day, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." “
"Forgive what! Sit down, sit down!"
After the emperor stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Shaofu to sit down, he said with a smile: "I know better than anyone what kind of character my son is. I understand what they want to do. Changxin is arrogant and needs someone to teach me a lesson, but I am not suitable. As soon as I do it, make him feel that I am biased against his other brothers. ”
"Now that I am borrowing your hand, I can finally make him understand that there are people outside the sky, and even the royal family can't do whatever they want, right?"
If there was only the front, he really looked like a loving father, but hearing the last two words immediately made Qin Shaofu feel a chill down his spine. This is clearly warning himself that the royal family can't do whatever they want, let alone other families, especially their own origin.
Huangfu Changqing also looked pale when he heard this, and only he knew what he said about it. However, he immediately returned to normal, and got up to pour wine: "Today's family banquet, I will pour wine." ”
Relieved his breath, Qin Shaofu was not polite, and simply took it casually.
After Huangfu Changqing made a guide and gave the emperor a glass with Qin Shaofu, the emperor put down his glass and said: "This time, I deliberately concealed Changqing, don't blame him." ”
The intrigue was really boring, Qin Shaofu asked directly: "I don't know what the minister means, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
The emperor said slowly: "That killer is Sun Minghe, a famous man of Dongyi who chases souls with one arrow, and his talent is extraordinary. Because he is a rising star, we don't know much about him, to put it simply, if he intends to hide, even the real dragon king will be difficult to find him here. ”
"The Qilin God General family fought against Dongyi in the northeast and had a grudge for many years. Sun Minghe came here to assassinate Tang Changjie. If it succeeds, it will not only damage the morale of the Tang family, but also cause the Qinglong family and the Qilin family to be suspicious of each other. ”
"If you directly let Tang Changjie hide in the palace, it will inevitably fall into the majesty of my Great Han Dynasty, and the dignified Divine Martial Soul disciple was frightened like this by a killer of the Qi Sea Realm. But if you don't hide, you may miss. It was the hesitation that happened to catch him, so it was natural. ”
"I see!" Qin Shaofu suddenly realized: "Your Majesty made it clear earlier, and almost let the killer succeed." ”
looked scared, but sneered in his heart, this explanation is really far-fetched, there must be other reasons, but he doesn't care.
"It's my fault!
The emperor laughed, drank a glass of wine, and then smiled slightly, and asked, "What happened to the killer, how could you be gone?"
Qin Shaofu relieved his breath, and the main dish finally came.
