"Second prince, the youngest son of the queen!

It is rumored that he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is loved by Wenchen. Just because he loved literature and abandoned martial arts since he was a child, he was disliked by Emperor Xuyang!

But I'm afraid everyone is wrong!

Emperor Xuyang not only did not dislike this son, but he loved him the most.

Even though... Even if he makes a big mistake, he may not be guilty of death! ”

Qin Guogong sighed and said leisurely.

At this time, the killing intent on his body had dissipated, and there was only a disappointment.

Liu Xin got off the desk and came to Qin Guogong's side.

In fact, he could feel that Qin Guogong really valued him and supported him everywhere.

But, something happens just as it happens.

"Qin Guogong, I ......"

As soon as Liu Xin wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Qin Guogong raising his hand.

"Liu Xin, I always thought you would be my successor.

I've always been very accurate in my opinion! ”

Someone can see better than I can.

Qin Guogong paused, added a sentence in his heart, he looked at Liu Xindao:

"It's a pity that you're still too young!

The emperor's son is not killed by anyone who wants to, even if he commits a heinous crime, the ultimate power of life and death is still in the hands of the emperor.

No one can rob the emperor of this right!

Otherwise, no matter what your purpose, you will be treated as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by the emperor! ”

Qin Guogong's tone was extremely deep.

"Qin Guogong, do you know anything!"

Liu Xin heard something else from the other party's words.

Qin Guogong glanced at Liu Xin deeply and didn't say anything.

There are some secrets, and Liu Xin is not qualified to know about them now.

Of course, it seems that I am not qualified to know in the future.

Qin Guogong sighed deeply again, such a good seedling, I didn't expect it to be ruined like this.

But the next moment, he was taken aback by Liu Xin's words.

"Does the Duke of Qin also know that the second prince is involved in this rebellion!"

Qin Guogong looked at Liu Xin in disbelief.

"How do you know?"

Could it be that someone else broke the news to him?

This is the thought in Qin Guogong's mind at this time.

And the only idea that he thinks the explanation is reasonable.

The affairs of the second prince are only known to five people in the Manchu Dynasty.

But apart from him, the other people have little to do with Liu Xin.

Could it be that Liu Xin guessed it himself?

Or did he get some information when he killed the second prince?

"Qin Guogong, I think you need to take a look at this thing."

As he spoke, Liu Xin handed a crumpled ball of paper to Qin Guogong.

Qin Guogong took it and opened it to take a look, and an inexplicable look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

I don't know if it's surprise or apprehension.

I haven't opened this paper since I found it.

He had just found the paper from the beam when Qin Guogong appeared.

And along with Qin Guogong, there is also the attribute box.

Congratulations on completing the current node task.

Prologue Trial Mission of the South China Sea Rebellion

Current Progress: 50%

The next node: investigate Du Weizhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and find out the introduction of the entire South China Sea Rebellion ambushed in the imperial capital

Node reward: Reward of the low-configuration version of the system*1

Notice: Lower-spec system reward*1 has been distributed

Reward Library: Low-configuration version of the system reward*2 (4 copies can be collected, and the reward can be exchanged for a full system reward once)

Because of the appearance of the attribute box, Liu Xin didn't need to open the note to know that the person behind the curtain was the Ministry of Rites!

Occupying such a high position, it is no wonder that he can stir up the storm in this imperial capital.

Qin Guogong looked up at Liu Xin.

"Have you read this note?"

Liu Xin shook his head.

"I just found this note on the beams of the house when you appeared.

Because why this note was crumpled into this shape and thrown on the beams of the house.

The subordinates probably had someone furious here, and then crumpled this piece of paper or many of these pieces of paper into a ball, and finally raised it in the air like a vent!

Only then can it be explained. ”

Qin Guogong nodded subconsciously.

After reading the contents of this paper, this person should have been in a very bad mood at that time.

It is indeed in line with what Liu Xin said.

And if Liu Xin has read this piece of paper, it doesn't matter.

With this piece of paper, in fact, Qin Guogong is equivalent to getting a clear certificate.

If the Ministry of Rites Shangshu still dares to appear, he can use this evidence to arrest him, and the other party has no denial at all, and this note also involves the second prince.

Similarly, this piece of paper has also become evidence that the second prince committed a heinous crime.

Thinking of this, Qin Guogong looked at Liu Xin.

If it weren't for the princely status of the second prince, if it weren't for the fact that he was the prince His Majesty loved the most.

Maybe this piece of paper will be able to keep Liu Xin.

"You go to the rivers and lakes!"

After being silent for a long time, Qin Guogong suddenly said to Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was a little surprised, this kind of big crime, Qin Guogong didn't even take down his mind to ask for the crime?

Also, what does it mean to go to the rivers and lakes?

"Qin Guogong, what do you mean by this?"

"I said it before.

This is the second prince after all.

He is the prince that His Majesty loves the most.

Now he has been beheaded by you, although he is indeed a great sin.

But don't guess the emperor's thoughts. ”

"Uh......"

Liu Xin didn't expect that Qin Guogong would still be able to play stalks at this moment.

"The emperor was furious, and the corpse was thousands of miles away.

Some things are not right or wrong in front of the emperor.

You will definitely not be able to cover this matter, and I will definitely report it to the emperor.

But the same Lao Tzu doesn't want you to die in vain.

For Lao Tzu, your life is far more important than this waste second prince. ”

Liu Xin didn't expect that Qin Guogong's evaluation of him would be so high.

After all, it was a prince.

"Actually, I also had a mission here, and I needed to send someone to the rivers and lakes.

But I've been thinking about it, there's no right person.

If you hadn't done something like this, I'd probably never let you go.

But now there's only one way to keep you.

Of course, I know that even if the real emperor wants to kill you, you are sure that you will be able to escape.

But when you get to that point, you will never be able to return to the court.

So think about it, whether you are willing to go to the rivers and lakes.

It shouldn't be very difficult for you to go back and forth from somewhere. ”

Liu Xin thought about Qin Guogong's words.

That seems to be the case.

As Qin Guogong said, his current situation, if he is caught, it is very likely that the emperor will hunt him down because of his anger.

And he must have run away.

Of course, he couldn't have dropped his name here.

For a second prince who sparked a rebellion.

But what would the Holy Sect do if he escaped?

Will it be because he is implicated in the Holy Sect?

Thinking of this, Liu Xin asked.

"Qin Guogong, if I accept your task to go to the rivers and lakes.

The ...... behind me"

Before Liu Xin finished speaking, Qin Guogong already knew what he meant.

There are some things that everyone knows, but they don't say.

Qin Guogong did not intend to reveal all the details at this time.

"If you promise me to do that task, I'm not the only one who will protect you.

Because that task wasn't supposed to be my alone.

With that person's help, the emperor shouldn't be so determined to kill you to vent his anger.

But if you want to come back, you have to do at least some results.

And it will be at least a few years before the emperor is discouraged.

Or what chance is there when the emperor needs you.

At that time, he probably won't be angry with you for this little thing. ”

Liu Xin always felt that what Qin Guogong said was not so simple.

"Qin Guogong, can I ask who the other person who issued this task is?"

"Don't you believe me?

That's it, and that's okay.

Finding a person to carry out tasks in the rivers and lakes was raised by Mi Yusong, the commander of the East Factory, from the beginning.

I just put the icing on the cake on his idea and made a little tweak.

As a result, this shameless old thing put this task on my head.

But fortunately, Lao Tzu was more witty and kicked this task back, and we argued for a long time, and finally decided that the two of us would carry out this task together.

Of course, this mission can't tell you the specifics right now, what I need is you. To say yes or not to agree. ”

"Qin Guogong, there are some things you know, I can't agree to them."

Liu Xin means that he has his bottom line.

Qin Guogong nodded.

"I know you kid has requirements for certain things.

What we ask you to do is certainly not something that makes it difficult for you.

The main thing is to investigate some people and things! ”

"I made it clear, as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line, it's incumbent on my subordinates."

In fact, when Liu Xin said this kind of thing, he was still very grateful to Qin Guogong in his heart.

This is also the main reason why he chose to come back and confess to Qin Guogong.

If it's someone who makes him feel uneasy, he won't come back.

"Let's wait until we return to the imperial capital."

Qin Guogong said that he found a puzzled look in Liu Xin's eyes, and he immediately explained.

"I'll have you secretly enter the city.

There are some things that you need to see, and because you can't take them out, you'll have to venture into town. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Guogong looked at Liu Xin with burning eyes.

This is actually a test, and he wants to see how much trust Liu Xin has in him.

Liu Xin nodded without hesitation.

Just kidding, there's a covert investigation team in the city that can help him.

On the contrary, it was Qin Guogong who let him fend for himself in this wilderness, which made him even more jealous.

For Qin Guogong, who has a heavy cavalry, his little bit of Taoism, even if he runs out, he can easily catch up and strangle.

Because Qin Guogong had already gotten what he wanted.

All of them were executed on the spot under his orders.

Even if these people have no conclusive evidence, they don't have any fears for Qin Guogong.

Anyway, their backstage has already fallen, and they are something.

Liu Xin has some understanding of Qin Guogong's decisiveness.

In contrast, Qin Guogong really had nothing to say to himself.

Soon, Qin Guogong left the fortress with heavy cavalry.

At this moment, a group of scouts hurried in the distance.

After receiving the scout's summons, Qin Guogong's expression immediately relaxed.

"Your Majesty, they're all right.

The Marquis of Jin led 20,000 iron cavalry to wipe out all the rebels.

The remaining small rebel forces are also being strangled.

His Majesty's car has returned to the Imperial Capital. ”

This news was sent by the Marquis of Jin Guo.

Several veterans suddenly showed a look of relief on their faces.

They are too old to lift a knife.

If something really happens to His Majesty this time, a war will definitely happen.

At that time, they couldn't go to the battlefield, and they didn't know how aggrieved they were.

That's right, that's what they really are in.

For today's emperor, these veterans don't actually have much awe.

If anything, it's just a reverence for imperial power.

After all, Emperor Xuyang grew up under the personal gaze of this group of veterans.

Even the old general Qin gave Emperor Xuyang a ......

As soon as the news spread, the atmosphere inside the heavy cavalry became better.

It's just that the veteran didn't see Liu Xin's figure.

"Qin Guogong, what about Liu?"

"Huh? I don't know. ”

Qin Guogong replied.

Half an hour later, Weng Bingliang, who went out to hunt down, returned in vain.

But when he learned that Qin Guogong had found the incriminating evidence of that person, and at the same time, this incriminating evidence was found by Liu Xin, Weng Bingliang said with a smile:

"Dashuai's vision is good, as long as this kid wins the first place in the Zhengyang martial arts competition, even if he wins the second or third place.

If the marshal wanted to take him as an apprentice, no one else would say anything. ”

To Wen Bingliang's surprise, Qin Guogong shook his head.

Wen Bingliang, who didn't know what he meant, didn't ask much.

Because he saw a not very good look on Qin Guogong's face.

It stands to reason that His Majesty's safety has been guaranteed at this moment, and evidence of the people behind the scenes has also been caught.

With Wen Bingliang's understanding of Qin Guogong.

Normally, at this moment, Qin Guogong should laugh heartily.

As an old subordinate of Qin Guogong, he knew the significance of Qin Guogong's every move.

So he was silent.

Half a day later, because he was not in a hurry, it took a long time to finally return to the imperial capital.

The gates of the imperial capital have been opened at this moment.

King Qin's army gathered outside the imperial capital.

At this moment, even if the Northern Barbarians have 100,000 iron horsemen heading south, there is enough strength near the imperial capital to fight.

Qin Guogong hurriedly entered the palace.

It was close to evening.

Qin Guogong stayed in the palace until late at night.

The Emperor's angry roar and smashing sound could be heard from one of the palace's main halls.

One after another bad news came out of the palace.

The eldest prince rushed to the emperor's bedroom overnight.

But he couldn't even get through the door.

In the queen's bedroom, all the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital appeared here.

All of a sudden, these situations in the palace were revealed.

The government and the opposition have fallen into all kinds of suspicions again.

The matter of the rebels outside the city has only just been resolved, and the matter has not yet been completely over.

As a result, there was another accident in the palace.

According to some well-informed people.

It seems that something happened to the second prince.

Because someone saw the carriage of the second prince appear at the side door of the palace.

On the frame of the second prince, the bright yellow satin was replaced with a white one.

Although it was only a quick glance, people with good intentions had already guessed many things from this little trace.

However, the death of a second prince did not make too many people care.

He's just a dead book.

Maybe Wenchen will be a little disappointed, and the second prince who was expected by them is gone.

However, there was not much regret among the ministers.

Because those people who have really been very close to the second prince have been served by Qin Guogong.

And it was a news that was poked out by some well-intentioned people, which completely attracted everyone's attention.

Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Du Weizhong's mansion was copied!

The leader of the team is Dongchang Qianhu Yuan Dongxiang.

Dai De'an of the Jinyi Guard also led people to guard the periphery.

The joint action of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and two high-level executives were dispatched.

He is still one of the six scholars in the cabinet, and the top minister in the court.

Such news is far more shocking than the accident of a mere prince.

Qin Guogong's face was pale, and there were still a few footprints on his clothes.

These were all kicked by the emperor of the dynasty.

When he brought the evidence of this rebellion caused by the second prince's collusion with the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The Emperor roared angrily.

He even threatened to behead the bastard.

But when he learned that the second prince was dead and didn't need to be beheaded, he was even more angry.

smashed all the bottles and cans he treasured.

even kicked Qin Guogong's body several times.

Of course, this is the end of Qin Guogong's task.

Mi Yusong took over.

After all, if he wants Liu Xin to work, he has to put in some effort, doesn't he?

However, Mi Yusong's actions are very methodical.

First of all, he gave a piece of information, and these things were all things that Emperor Xuyang was eager to see at this moment.

They did not hesitate to take this big picture, not for the sake of this information.

In the face of major rights and wrongs, the emperor still chose to put state affairs first.

It was precisely because of his attitude that the queen fainted directly in her bedroom.

His son is gone, and he still has the heart to take care of any national affairs.

I have to say that this is the difference between a man and a woman.

When the emperor digested all the information, the anger in his heart about the knowledge of the second prince had already been suppressed.

At this time, Mi Yusong still did not throw the biggest bomb in his hand.

Instead, Du Weizhong was taken out for criticism.

and then took out the things that he had bent the law for personal gain over the years and connived at the sins committed in his family.

Of course, in the eyes of the emperor, these are just small things, and they can't be smaller.

Therefore, the emperor looked at Mi Yusong's eyes as if he was watching a funny joke.

You're going to tell me this?

However, out of trust in Mi Yusong, the emperor still listened carefully.

As a result, I listened to it until midnight.

And Mi Yusong has really been talking nonsense.

"Enough is enough, just let your people do these things."

The Emperor finally interrupted the other with a wave of his hand.

And the implication is that this kind of thing even needs to be known to your subordinates, so why report it to me?

This is already a faint sense of blame.

Of course, Mi Yusong doesn't care about this.

Until this time, he still did not tell Liu Xin about the great sin he had committed.

Instead, he took Du Weizhong out and whipped the corpse.

Only this time the emperor came with a little interest.

"Okay, okay, now that you've found his whereabouts, let's get him back.

It has to be alive! ”

Emperor Xuyang was really excited again.
