From a certain point of view, Xia Sheng's sentence is actually a bit presumptuous.

Emperor Jin appreciated his talent and gave him the title of prince and prince, and the official worshiped the prince and sacrificed wine, but in fact, these two positions did not have too high real power, and were more of a status symbol.

Or Xia Sheng can also see it as a talisman given to him by Emperor Jin, if anyone dares to murder him openly, it is to murder the court officials, and he should be beheaded according to the law!

This is much more serious than killing a Spring and Autumn Academy teacher!

This is also why, in Osmanthus Lane that night, whether it was the people of Tianxing Courtyard, the prince's people, or the Pei family, they could only make some small moves in secret, but they definitely didn't dare to put the matter of killing Xia Sheng on the table.

But even so, Xia Sheng is still just a fledgling hairy boy after all, this is just the first time he has entered the palace to face the saint, and he dares to make a request to the emperor?

Could it be that he really thinks of himself as a prime minister?

Then again, in fact, in today's Dajin court, even the prime minister has no right to speak.

In order to balance the power of the major families, since the Ye family produced a Weining Hou, Ye Xiang's power has been cut again and again, and now it seems to have been completely hollowed out, and only the right to reject the holy decree is left in his hands, as well as the qualification to enter and leave the imperial study at any time.

To put it more realistically, if it weren't for Xia Sheng who came with Qin Xiaohua today, although it was unlikely that he would be stopped outside the palace gate, he would not have seen the emperor so easily.

Not to mention that the emperor waited for him in the imperial study for a long time!

But it was precisely because he came with Qin Xiaohua that Emperor Jin did not reprimand him for his frivolity at this moment, but nodded: "What is the purpose, please?" ”

Xia Sheng replied unhurriedly: "Wei Chen is fortunate to have the trust of His Majesty, and he should have shouldered the responsibility of teaching the princes, but he has never really fulfilled his responsibilities in these days, and this time I heard that His Royal Highness King Ning is participating in the Spring Festival in the Sunset Valley. Therefore, I want to personally go and see the current strength of His Royal Highness King Ning, and it is good to teach him according to his aptitude in the future. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Jin couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "If Xia Qing wants to go to Sunset Valley, he can go with the team of the Spring and Autumn Academy a few days ago, why did he go far and near and come to me to ask for advice?"

Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Presumably Your Majesty doesn't know yet." After the battle of life and death, Dean Tang had already dismissed his position as a teacher in the Academy, so it was naturally inconvenient for the ministers to go with the people in the academy. ”

The murder of Pei Yuanji had already spread all over the city, and Emperor Jin naturally knew about it, and suddenly realized: "I see, is Xia Qing just such a request?"

Xia Sheng nodded: "That's all." ”

Emperor Jin did not immediately draft a decree because of Xia Sheng's words, but became even more suspicious.

If it's just such a small thing, where do you need Qin Xiaohua's company?

Or to think differently, even if Xia Sheng was dismissed from the honorary teaching position by the academy. If he really wanted to go to Sunset Valley to watch the battle, with his reputation in the cultivation world today, even if the people of the Spring and Autumn Academy did not accept him, would he really be stopped by the people of Sunset Valley from the Spring and Autumn Arena?

After a while, Emperor Jin suddenly smiled and said, "I see, Xia Qing wants to use the banner of me, the fox and the tiger!"

Xia Sheng's face did not change, and he lowered his head slightly: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Instead, Qin Xiaohua said on the side: "Your Majesty, you also know. Lord Xia is now a mortal enmity with the Pei family, if there is no decree from Your Majesty. Not to mention walking to Sunset Valley, I'm afraid that something will happen to Lord Xia as soon as he leaves the capital, so he has the courage to ask His Majesty for convenience. ”

Emperor Jin suddenly teased Qin Xiaohua and said, "Why, just a Pei family has made Shantang even afraid?"

Qin Xiaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The old minister is also helpless, if it weren't for this time, he really couldn't pull away." I'm afraid that the old minister also followed Lord Xia out to see the world, you know, in the past, the old minister of Chunqiu didn't go to join in the fun. ”

Emperor Jin laughed: "I really didn't expect that in the realm of this Great Jin Dynasty, there are still things that make it difficult for you. Well, Xia Qing's request is indeed justified, since this is the case, I will give this purpose!"

Hearing this, Xia Sheng immediately knelt down again and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Jun has no jokes, Emperor Jin is a man of words, even if he called the close servants, he drafted a decree to seal Xia Sheng as the inspector of Jiangzhou, with this name, Xia Sheng entered and exited the Sunset Valley, and no one dared to stop him.

Of course, this Jiangzhou patrol does not have the power to transfer troops, and when the spring is over, after Xia Sheng returns to Beijing to report on his work, it will be lifted immediately, if Xia Sheng wants to rely on this identity to be powerful in Jiangzhou, it is obviously unlikely.

But for Xia Sheng, this had exceeded his expectations, and it was a surprise, so he immediately thanked him again, respectfully accepted the holy decree, tokens, and seals, and then stood up and bowed slightly to Qin Xiaohua.

He knew very well that if it weren't for Qin Xiaohua today, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

This scene fell in the eyes of Emperor Jin, but he mistakenly thought that Qin Xiaohua was completely because of the good words, so he helped Xia Sheng.

"Okay, if it's okay, let's retreat, Qin Qing, you stay, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's stay in the palace for dinner today." ”

Qin Xiaohua smiled and nodded: "It's all up to Your Majesty's orders, but I also ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to send Lord Xia out of the palace." ”

Emperor Jin nodded, agreed to Qin Xiaohua's request, and then picked up the bamboo pen on the table again and continued to spread it on the paper.

Seeing this, Xia Sheng immediately surrendered his hand and said, "Weichen retreats." ”

After walking out of the imperial study, Qin Xiaohua grabbed Xia Sheng's arm and said in a low voice: "Before you leave, I have one more thing to tell you. ”

Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Speaking of which, I also have something I want to ask you." ”

Qin Xiaohua raised her white eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Then you can say it first." ”

Xia Sheng took out a stack of letter paper from his arms, shook his head and said, "This is what Qin Siye handed over to me before, there are Hu Shuo and the Xu family on it, but there is one thing missing." ”

Although Xia Sheng's words were a little vague because the two of them were in the palace, Qin Xiaohua still understood what he wanted to ask, and suddenly sighed slowly: "The rats in the house have also been found out, and it is a worship surnamed Xiang, but unfortunately it is too late to ask for more things, so it is convenient to take poison and commit suicide." ”

"Does it have anything to do with the mysterious forces in Osmanthus Lane that day?"

"I don't know. ”

Xia Sheng took a deep breath, then nodded: "Okay, I know, what do you want to tell me?"

Qin Xiaohua's face showed a warm smile: "I know that you and Yan'er have a deep relationship, but this time when you go south, I hope you don't go to Qingzhou to find her, I want to see if she can handle the affairs of the branch hall over there." ”

Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Qin Xiaohua had obviously misunderstood something, but he didn't explain much, just nodded and answered: "That's it?"

"And ......" Qin Xiaohua slowly clenched the black jade short staff in her hand, and said word by word: "Come back alive." ”
