Chapter 84: Aiding and abetting
As soon as these words came out, the sound was like thunder, and the dust on the roof beams fell in a row.
Qin Hao and Qu Fu were shocked, turned their heads to look at King Qingding, and saw that he didn't mean to joke at all, and their faces changed suddenly.
Confucius, on the other hand, was indifferent, without saying a word, bowing his eyebrows and bowing his head, and drinking tea silently.
Qin Hao said in a deep voice: "King Qingding ......"
As we all know, because of Ji Jin's affairs, Emperor Qin has reprimanded Confucius and King Qingding in public in the court, but because the two are high and powerful, they have not been punished.
However, this matter has only been long ago, if King Qingding dares to play the book for Zhang Fan again, it will be like revealing the scar before the injury is healed, and it will inevitably offend Emperor Qin's backlash.
At that time, Emperor Qin was furious, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not do anything to destroy the Great Wall.
You must know that King Qingding is the head of the five kings, and the second emperor, the fourth king, and the nine marquis are all good, and the cultivation is unfathomable, and he is deeply valued by the first emperor, and he is given the emperor Yun sixteen ways, and he is in charge of the millions of military power of the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty, and Confucius is a martial artist and a writer, which can be called the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty.
If something happens to him, coupled with Emperor Qin's mediocrity, the indefatigable foundation of the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty will be shaken like never before.
What's more, in the inner garden of the deep palace, there is also a demon fox girl who influences Emperor Qin's decision.
Even if King Qingding is willing to play the book on behalf of Zhang Fan, there is an existence of the variable of the imperial concubine in the palace, not to mention that he has offended Emperor Qin, and he may still not be able to pardon Wu Anhou.
Qin Hao was about to dissuade him, but he was glared at fiercely by King Qingding, and immediately interrupted his words.
"I Xuan Jian can't do that kind of thing that ignores righteousness!" King Qingding turned his head to Zhang Fan and said, "Ji Erxian nephew, don't worry, this king will play this book to the emperor on your behalf!"
Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed again: "Thank you King Qingding!"
"Old lady, what do you say?" King Qingding looked at Confucius next to him again, "You shouldn't be so unrighteous, right?"
Confucius smiled slightly and said, "King Qingding, you have agreed, and the old man will give up his life to accompany his old friend!"
When he was still in the Taishi Mansion yesterday, he had already agreed to Zhang Fan, and the reason why he brought King Qingding and them to meet Zhang Fan today was just to pull a few more people into the water, and the chance of success would be greater.
And now, since King Qingding couldn't stand Zhang Fan's agitation so quickly, and agreed to play the book on behalf of Zhang Fan, then he also took advantage of the situation.
Qin Hao and Qu Fu met and smiled bitterly.
Only then did the two realize that they seemed to have been pulled onto the thief ship by Confucius, and it seemed too late to get off the ship at this time.
Moreover, their friendship with Wu Anhou is indeed difficult to refuse.
What's more, if the two of them retreat today, they will definitely be looked down upon by King Qingding and Confucius in the future, and thus lose the support of the court.
Anyway, with the old lady and King Qingding in front, he just echoed it, even if something went wrong, with the prestige and character of the two of them, he would bear it with all his might, and he would never involve others.
Thinking about it like this, Qin Hao and Qu Fu finally made up their minds.
"Since the two elders have said so, why should we cringe!"
Qin Hao said.
"Second Prince Ji, we can play the book on your behalf and advise the emperor, but if the emperor summons you, how you meet is the key!"
As a doctor of the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty, in terms of official rank, Qu Fu is second only to the other three, but he also has some insight.
It is true that although the four of them can act as a substitute and advise Emperor Qin, at most they can only say that Emperor Qin can be moved and Zhang Fan is summoned, and as for pardoning Wu Anhou, it is unlikely.
Otherwise, Marquis Wu'an would have been pardoned by Emperor Qin a long time ago, so how could he wait until now.
In fact, Zhang Fan has long thought of this.
Confucius and King Qingding, although they can help him play the book to meet Emperor Qin, but after meeting Emperor Qin, how to persuade Emperor Qin is the most important question.
Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a secret, the little nephew didn't come alone, but also brought a few things to enjoy, which he wanted to present to the emperor......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Qingding, "Nine Dragons Immortal Emperor, Yehua Golden Bottle, West Prison Snake Girl, and other rare treasures!"
"Y-How do you know?"
Zhang Fan was taken aback and looked at King Qingding strangely.
Could it be that King Qingding, like Confucius, also arranged a lot of eyeliner in Wu'an City?
If this is the case, it shows a problem, although these people in front of them are called friends with Wu Anhou, they are actually jealous of Wu Anhou.
"Guess how this king knows!" King Qingding laughed loudly, "The son of the old general of the Dragon Slaughter is called Long Zhan, right? He and your subordinates are guests in this king's mansion at this time!"
When Zhang Fan heard this, he was shocked again.
It turns out that although the Void Throne is hidden in the nameless valley of the Beginningless Mountain Range, it is a place frequented by demon beasts.
The Void Throne was attacked by demon beasts from time to time, and Long Zhan and the others naturally had to resist it, fighting and bloodshed, and gradually attracted the soldiers who patrolled Zhou Ji in the Beginningless City, and reported the matter to the King of Qingding.
Last night, the prince of Qingding went to inspect and found Long Zhan and them, so he took them back to the city of the beginning and arranged for them to stay in the palace.
Therefore, King Qingding guessed that Zhang Fan had entered the City of No Beginning, and hurriedly went to visit Confucius, to discuss the matter, and happened to enter and leave the Taishi Mansion with Zhang Fan one after the other.
After listening to King Qingding's explanation, Zhang Fan was relieved.
He originally planned to find out all the relationships in the Beginningless City in two more days, and it was not too late to inform Long Zhan to enter the city.
Who knows, King Qingding actually discovered their traces in advance, and brought them to the Beginningless City, which also saved him a lot of back and forth.
"Nine Dragons Immortal Emperor, Yehua Golden Bottle, West Prison Snake Girl?"
Qin Hao frowned slightly, sighed, and said: "The emperor is immoral and indulges in wine, and now the second son of Ji is visiting him with such a game, isn't it just helping the emperor to abuse and bewitch Shengcong!"
When everyone heard this, they were all worried.
Recalling what Emperor Qin has done in the recent period, the plaything is demoralized and disheartening, if it continues like this for a long time, I am afraid that the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty will be destroyed because of this.
With a look of concern for the country and the people written on his face, Qu Fu sighed: "Helplessly, the second son of Ji is imprisoned by his father, and he is benevolent and filial, and he is sincere, and we can understand it!"
Among the princes and counties, the Marquis of Wu'an is a well-known upright gentleman, who loves the people like a son, and even when there is a conflict between the city-states in other counties, he often asks the Marquis of Wu'an to adjudicate and mediate.
With the cultivation of Wu'anhou as his ethics, he could have been called the second emperor together, but Wu'anhou resigned, and he was even more loyal to the Great Qin Dynasty and never had the heart of transgression.
However, such a loyal and good man was lured by Emperor Qin to the city of no beginning, and he was imprisoned for no reason on trumped-up charges.
In order for the Marquis of Wu'an to be pardoned as soon as possible, Confucius and others also mediated in many ways and advised Emperor Qin, which saved Wu'an's life.
Now, Zhang Fan does what he likes, although it helps to be abused, but it is also excusable.
"With these things, the second prince of Ji may be able to impress the emperor!" Qin Hao thought for a while and said, "However, such a plaything, even if it can impress the emperor, what about the imperial concubine?"
Everyone looked at each other, and even on the face of King Qingding, there was a look of worry.
Since the imperial concubine entered the palace, Emperor Qin has not discussed matters in the early court for several months, lingering in the inner palace with the imperial concubine all day long, and ordered the construction of Qingqiu Terrace, just to win a smile from the beauty.
The world says that the reason why Emperor Qin indulged in wine, acted perversely, and left his ancestral inheritance behind was because he was bewitched by this imperial concubine.
This imperial concubine was originally a fox girl from the demon clan, and the demon emperor was dedicated to Emperor Qin, perhaps in order to confuse Emperor Qin, intending to subvert the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty.
"If it's not my race, its heart will be different!" A light of remorse was refracted in his pupils, and King Qingding slapped the table with a heavy rage, "If I knew this, this king should have killed that demon girl at that time!"
"King Qingding, don't forget, that demon girl is the Demon Emperor's offering!" Confucius's face was slightly gloomy, "If you kill that demon girl, then how should we explain to the Demon Emperor!"
Confuciusman and King Qingding also sent people to the demon clan to discuss the matter with the demon emperor, but who knew that the demon emperor was born at this juncture, and actually closed the life and death barrier, and actually let his general Chi Inu preside over the demon clan.
The red dog is an old wolf who has cultivated for 10,000 years, and it is said that the demon emperor is in retreat, and he has no right to deal with this matter, so he sent the people he sent.
The courtiers were in a dilemma, coupled with Emperor Qin's favor, so that everyone had no way to persuade them, so they delayed, and could only watch Emperor Qin sink and lose weight day by day.
Of course, Zhang Fan also knew that this demon fox girl might be a hurdle in front of him.
However, at this time, Emperor Qin had not yet been seen, and the door had not even been opened, so how could he enter the house.
What's more, the so-called knowing oneself can survive a hundred battles, Zhang Fan has never even seen the imperial concubine, but he has just heard people's descriptions and imagined out of thin air, how can he find a way to deal with it.
Therefore, the most important thing in front of me is to rely on Confucius and King Qingding to perform the script on their behalf, convey it to the heavens, and talk about it after seeing Emperor Qin and the imperial concubine.
Anyway, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his cheap big brother.
Next, a few people sat around the table and discussed the matter of the recital.
Listening to Qin Hao and Qu Fu's step-by-step strategy, King Qingding suddenly became a little annoyed, stood up, and couldn't help but say: "The book is played, where are there so many twists and turns! This king will enter the palace and meet the emperor!"
After speaking, the sleeves of his robe were furiously unfurled, and King Qingding immediately went out of the room.
"King ......"
Qin Hao and Qu Fu glanced at each other, their faces full of helplessness, and said to Confucius, "Old lady, do you see this?"
Confucius said with a smile: "King Qingding has always been an ancient and enthusiastic person, vigorous and resolute, it's nothing! Second Prince Ji, you can wait here for good news!"
"There are a few adults!"
With that, the three of them immediately said goodbye, hurriedly left the Tongfu Restaurant, followed the demon beast car of King Qingding, and galloped to the imperial palace.
When everyone left, it was almost noon, and Zhang Fan was shocked to realize that he hadn't even had time to eat breakfast, and he was already hungry.
Zhang Fan immediately went downstairs, ordered something, and asked Tong Zhantang to bring it to his room.
Tang Shiyu was not in the house, it seemed that he never came back last night, he didn't know where he went, and he didn't bring a letter.
After breaking up with Tang Shiyu in the Emperor's Pavilion yesterday, Zhang Fan thought that Tang Shiyu would go back to his residence on his own, but who knew that he didn't return all night.
"This stupid boy isn't going to get in any trouble, is he?"
Zhang Fan thought to himself.
Although they met in Pingshui, after all, after getting along for a while, Zhang Fan still admired Tang Shiyu.
Originally, he also wanted to say hello to Confucius, ask Confucius, be accommodating, and specially recruit Tang Shiyu to enter the White Horse Academy.
However, Zhang Fan was lacking in skills at this time, so he had to stay in the restaurant and wait for news from Confucius, and he couldn't walk around looking for news about Tang Shiyu.
So he could only ask Tong Zhantang to go out and help find Tang Shiyu, and Tong Zhantang agreed.
When Tong Zhantang withdrew from the room, Zhang Fan was eating while thinking about meeting Emperor Qin.
For some reason, he was still a little nervous, as if he had an interview for the first time.
"I'm about to go to Longtan Tiger's Den, it's always good to be stronger!"
Zhang Fan's mind moved slightly, and he looked at the system information.

......
These days, buying hot pot base and dipping sauce seasoning, due to the unbelievably hot business, Zhang Fan has consumed a lot of trust points.
And this more than 7,000 points of trust points was still earned by him in the Emperor Pavilion yesterday, which was only enough to upgrade to one level.
Despite this, Zhang Fan still chose to upgrade without hesitation, and a slight increase in strength can also make him feel a little more safe.
After lunch, there was nothing to do, so Zhang Fan waited for news in the room, fidgeting, and living like a year.
Until the beginning of Shen Shi, Zhang Fan was a little impatient to wait, and suddenly heard someone suddenly knock on the door.
Zhang Fan hurriedly opened the door and saw that the person outside the door was Qin Hao.
Confucius and King Qingding didn't come, so Qin Hao was alone.
But seeing the joy on Qin Hao's face, Zhang Fan knew that something big could be done, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fan asked, "Qin Xiang, what's going on?"
As expected, Qin Hao smiled and said, "The second son of Emperor Xuanji is here to meet you in Qingqiu Terrace!"
Forcibly suppressing the tension and excitement in his heart, Zhang Fan bowed down and said, "There is Lao Qinxiang running for my father and son!"
"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it!" Qin Hao waved his hand, "It's all the old lady and the king of Qingding, what credit do I have!"
"Qin Xiang is too humble! Today's grace, he will be rewarded again in the future!"
No matter how much Qin Hao contributed, these comforting scenes still had to be said beautifully.
As for whether these scenes can be fulfilled, it is debatable.
Sure enough, Qin Hao was quite happy to hear it, and after a pause, he said, "However, on the Qingqiu Stage, there is something I haven't figured out!"
Zhang Fan was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"When I arrived at Qingqiutai, Li Shan happened to be there!"
Qin Hao's face showed a look of unbelievable doubt, and he said in a deep voice, "What is incomprehensible is that Li Shan's family suddenly discovered that his conscience suddenly discovered, and he actually pleaded for the Marquis of Wu'an, and the emperor agreed to summon the second son of Ji!"
When Zhang Fan heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, but he didn't break it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
