Chapter 382: Chang'an
Chang'an City
The bright sun poured down from the sky, the blue sky was cloudless, it was already July, the middle of summer completely entered, the whole Chang'an City was permeated with a kind of dry heat, people were a little lazy, even those hawkers were listless, even the spirit of shouting was gone
At this moment, in the Xiangguo Mansion in the most prosperous area of Chang'an, Qin Dingan sat in the pavilion of the courtyard full of flowers, while looking at the files in the court in recent days, while drinking herbal tea, today's weather is really a little hot, and he doesn't want to do things in the palace, so he brought the music and so on back to the Xiangguo Mansion
Now, the Son of Heaven has been completely hollowed out, except for doing nothing in the palace all day long, that is, lingering in the wombs of various concubines, merry and happy, as for those things in the court, he can't even see or hear.
In fact, this is not Qin Ding'an's doing, it is all controlled by Su Shan, he controls the inner court, and every move of the Son of Heaven is in his eyes, and at the same time, he let those eunuchs, palace maids, confuse the Son of Heaven, this Son of Heaven is a person who is not firm in his mind, and after a long time, he took the initiative to give up everything, and he wanted to be a puppet
"Sir, letter from the Overseer"
Qin Ding'an was reviewing the folds, while thinking about the current puppet emperor, the look on his face was a little helpless, and there was a sense of hatred that iron could not become steel, and at this time, a nervous voice came from outside the courtyard, and the housekeeper Ah Fu hurriedly ran over and delivered a letter to him
"They're going back to Chang'an"
Qin Dingan's face was slightly solemn, and there was an unconcealable joy, and he hurriedly opened the letter, he looked at it fixedly, and it read,
"Five days later, return to Chang'an, everything is ready"
"Great, finally back"
Qin Ding'an looked at the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, his face showed an unconcealable excitement, he slapped it on the table full of twists and turns, and directly jumped up, and the smile on his face was also extremely strong
Since the incident in Liaodong, later, Hu Lingyu sent someone to send two million taels of gold to Chang'an City, and he had already learned that Su Shan had excavated the Great Zhou National Treasure this time and brought back ten million taels of gold
As the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty today, advocating the implementation of many new policies, he is well aware of the great role of these gold, and the benefits that can be brought to the Great Wei Dynasty, and the excitement in his heart has long been unbearable
Su Shan's return has been long-awaited
Now that he finally got the accurate news, Su Shan will return to Chang'an City in five days, and this excitement is finally completely irrepressible and almost bursts out
"No, the overseer will return to Chang'an, this is a big deal, and you must prepare well"
Secretly excited for a long time, he turned to stare at Ah Fu, with unconcealed excitement in his eyes, and said loudly,
"You go, pass on my order, the existing cultural relics in Chang'an City are not allowed to leave Chang'an City from now on, they must be ready, five days later, at the south gate of Chang'an City, welcome the return of the overseer"
"In addition, let the Ministry of Rites be fully responsible for this welcome, the system should choose the highest standard, even if it is a violation of the etiquette law, it doesn't matter, it must be perfect, if there are any flaws, I will not spare him"
"This"
Ah Fu has been following Qin Ding'an's side, he has never seen the latter look like this, he frowned, stared at Qin Ding'an with some doubts, did not agree immediately, after hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice,
"Young master, will you be criticized for welcoming Dongchang and the overseer like this?"
"Now the dictatorship of Dongchang and the control of the dynasty have been called traitors by the people of the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and you welcome Dongchang with such fanfare, it will be considered as flattering and favoring."
"When the time comes, you will have to be regarded as the East Factory"
Ah Fu's last two words were not finished, but the eyes and expressions already said everything, Qin Dingan looked at Ah Fu's appearance, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice,
"You want to say that others will treat me as a lackey of Dongchang, don't you?"
Ah Fu lowered his head and didn't dare to respond, Qin Dingan patted him on the shoulder again, and then smiled a little indifferently,
"What a lackey, traitor, actually, I don't care"
"You have been with me for so many years, you should understand what I care about most in my heart"
"Ah Fu knows that after the young master travels the world, there will only be the people of the world in his heart."
Ah Fu lowered his head, his voice was low and awe-inspiring, indeed, he knew Qin Ding'an very well
"If you understand, you should know why I am so cooperative with the Overseer."
Qin Dingan put his hands behind his back, with a hint of fierceness and expectation on his body, looked up at the sky of Chang'an City, and said with a little excitement in his tone,
"That's because he can make me do what I want"
"This overseer is really extraordinary, he may have killed countless people, he is ruthless, and his methods are despicable, but these are just his methods, his real heart, and that long-term vision, even I am ashamed of myself"
"I thought that he Su Shan was far stronger than all the emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty, and even the first emperor who created the Wuyangmen Revolution back then, maybe his methods could be compared with Su Shan, but his real vision was much worse."
"In this way, for the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan Sheji and the common people, I, Qin Dingan, am willing to follow behind Su Shan, be a cow and a horse, what kind of traitor, lackey, and the reputation of pampering and flattering, I don't care at all"
"I just do what I want to do"
Ah Fu listened to Qin Ding'an's words, raised his head and looked at Qin Ding'an's back, there were some particularly arrogant and domineering in the shadow, he looked at it quietly for a while, and then lowered his head and said in a low voice,
"Ah Fu got it"
"Ah Fu, just do it"
After speaking, he respectfully withdrew from the courtyard, and when the figure gradually disappeared away and completely disappeared from sight, Qin Dingan took a deep breath, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He gently poured himself a cup of tea, and while sipping, he looked in the direction where Ah Fu disappeared, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself,
"Ah Fu has been different from the past recently, between words, he is always trying to provoke the relationship between me and the Overseer, is it possible that someone has started to attack me?"
"Oh, start from me, no matter who you are, this courage is not small"
"Although I, Qin Ding'an, am not as easy to kill as Su Shan, but I am not a fool, not a person who does not stain blood, since you dare to hit the idea of the people around me, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."
The voice of self-talk fell, and he put the teacup heavily on the stone table, and his eyes flashed with a cold aura that could not be concealed.
However, after this evil aura lasted for a while, it slowly disappeared again, Qin Ding'an's face returned to normal, he glanced at the files on the table, and hummed softly,
"The return of the overseer has brought back so much gold, and it is a major event in the Great Wei Dynasty for thousands of generations, and it seems that it is not enough to be qualified just for the cultural relics and hundreds of officials to come to greet him."
"Your Majesty, you should also go out of the palace to greet you, whether it is in accordance with the etiquette system or not, this time, the overseer is also for the sake of your Great Wei country"
The deep voice fell, and Qin Dingan turned around and walked towards the residence.
In a moment, he had already changed into his court clothes, and then someone had prepared a carriage for him, and with the sound of creaking wheels rolling, the carriage slowly walked in the direction of the palace.
Qin Ding'an's mansion is not very far from the palace, about a quarter of an hour to arrive, and he is now the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, his status is extremely respectful, and no one dares to stop him from entering the palace
Therefore, half an hour later, I came to the outside of the Chengqian Palace, and looked up, this hall was still as magnificent as before, and there were many guards guarding outside the door, but inside this hall, there was a lack of solemnity and solemnity in the past
When Qin Ding'an came to this door, he heard the sound of a warbler and a swallow from inside, as well as the laughter of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't have to guess to know that this puppet Son of Heaven was drinking and playing with many concubines and maids.
"Go in and tell Your Majesty that Qin Ding'an is here to see you"
Qin Dingan frowned slightly, his face flashed with low anger, the little eunuch at the door looked nervous, hurriedly pushed open the door of the main hall, and hurriedly ran in.
"Ah, Qin Xiang is here"
"Hurry up, go and hide behind the palace"
"Hurry up and put on the dragon robe for me, why are you so grinding"
There was a panicked sound in the main hall, as well as the hurried footsteps of those concubines, Qin Dingan could hear it clearly, and he could vaguely see some, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't know.
This Son of Heaven is simply a wasted person, and he doesn't need to be angry with the wasted person
"Qin Xiangguo, how do you have time to come to this Chengqian Palace, is there something going on?"
Soon, the Son of Heaven was dressed neatly, with enthusiasm on his face, and hurriedly ran to the door of the Chengqian Palace, and enthusiastically pulled Qin Dingan to enter the hall, but Qin Dingan smelled the smell of rouge inside, frowned, and refused.
"Your Majesty, Weichen still has some things to do, and he can't be delayed, so he has to leave after finishing his work."
"What are you talking about in such a hurry?"
When the Son of Heaven heard that he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and as soon as Qin Ding'an left, he couldn't continue the game that he hadn't finished just now
As for anything, he didn't care, he just nodded
Now in this Great Wei Dynasty, even if he doesn't agree, he won't change anything
"Your Majesty, the overseer has returned from Liaodong, and he will arrive in Chang'an City in five days, and Weichen has arranged for the Ministry of Rites to welcome the overseer back to the court with the highest standard of etiquette."
"However, this time the overseer returned to the court, the stakes are very high, and Wechen thought that it was not enough for the cultural relics to be greeted by hundreds of officials, so Wechen specially came to ask His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty would also go to the city gate to greet him five days later."
"To show the Governor and the great work of the East Factory"
"Okay, okay, no problem, I just asked Prime Minister Qin to arrange everything on my behalf, and I will definitely be there to congratulate Lord Su, haha"
The Son of Heaven did not hesitate at all, or even hesitate, and directly agreed happily, which made Qin Dingan a little stunned
Originally, he thought that he would have to persuade this Son of Heaven for a while, after all, the Son of Heaven went out of the city to greet him, and only the general who greeted the expansion of the territory had this qualification, and now Su Shan was just a eunuch, and the Son of Heaven greeted him, which was really an insult to the royal family, and it was not there since ancient times
But this son of heaven directly agreed
He really didn't expect it
"Uh, Qin Xiangguo, is there anything else?"
The Son of Heaven looked at Qin Ding'an, who was stunned for a while and did not speak, and asked curiously, he has already agreed, he is in a hurry to play the game of chasing me with the concubines, this guy should not delay any longer
"Uh, it's okay, Your Majesty please"
Qin Ding'an was really a little speechless, he respectfully arched his hand and took two steps back
"Qin Xiang is going well"
The Son of Heaven smiled, stood at the door, looked at Qin Ding'an expectantly, watched him leave, and when Qin Ding'an's figure just walked out of the gate of the Chengqian Palace, he couldn't wait to turn around and drill back into the main hall
"Concubines, come, continue"
"Your Majesty"
In the main hall, there were bursts of laughter, and it could be vaguely seen that the emperor was blindfolded with a pink scarf, and was playing a game of catching cats among a group of scantily clad concubines.
"Oh waste, this is also the emperor"
The eunuch guarding the door of the Chengqian Hall turned his head and glanced at the situation inside the hall, and his thin face showed disdain and disdain that could not be concealed.
Such an emperor, what is the point
Outside Chang'an City, dozens of miles or so.
On the straight and wide Chang'an Road, the sun is bright and warm, the wind in the air is filled with dry heat, a long team is driving slowly, the huge black military flag, and the blood-red Dongchang Flying Fish Flag, swaying in mid-air, exuding as strong as before, as if it is also suppressed by this hot weather
However, the Shandong army guarding the long convoy, as well as the countless Dongchang soldiers, were still awe-inspiring, and their eyes were also vigilant and serious to stare around, guarding against everything
Now that there is still some distance from Chang'an City, they don't dare to be careless
Crunch
Crunch
In the center of the team, the carriage belonging to Su Shan was also driving slowly, and the curtains on all sides of the carriage were hanging low, so that it was impossible to see the situation inside, but around the carriage, no one dared to approach, and they all hid far away
Because, as everyone knows, the Rakshasa Lord inside seems to be carrying out a very important cultivation
A few days ago, a sudden burst of coercion from inside almost seriously injured a nearby soldier
"Whew"
Inside the carriage, Xiao Yu'er sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, an invisible wave of qi spread from her body, the black hair, clothes, were slightly agitated, Su Shan leaned to her side, looking at this scene, her face was full of indifference, and there was a trace of shock
This little Yu'er's talent is really good
Since that day, she has truly realized the threshold of the innate great perfection, and in the past few days, she has been trying to break through that threshold, and at this moment, judging from the breath coming out of her body, perhaps, it is not far from the real breakthrough
"This talent, you know, my real breakthrough took two Perfection Pills and a few months."
"She's only used it for less than half a month."
"It's better to be ashamed"
Su Shan looked at Xiao Yu'er and muttered to himself in his heart, but there was expectation and joy on his face.
Xiao Yu'er is now her most powerful assistant
And she has completely broken through the congenital great perfection, and it will be a greater help for herself in the future
"Rivers and lakes"
"Oh, we'll go sooner or later"
