Just as Wang Qi'an was about to refuse, Qian Hong said first:
"Don't worry, my dear, with the position of Grand Tutor, I can grant you a special pardon. You don't have to go to court or discuss politics, and there will be no restrictions on your freedom in the world.
I just hope that you can take time out of your daily life to assist King Hui for me.
After attending the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, if Aiqing still insists on resigning, I will take back my fate at that time. "
Since Qian Hong had mentioned this, Wang Qi'an had no choice but to agree first.
When he left the palace, dusk was already falling. Under the escort of the Black Panther Cavalry, he arrived at Prince Hui's Mansion.
This place was originally the summer residence of the imperial palace. It was located on the bank of the Qiantang River, with mountains and rivers at its back and elegant scenery.
In front of the house, two stone dragons opened their eyes and spit out pearls, sitting majestically at the door.
Eight ornately decorated lanterns on the top have been lit with candles, transmitting red light.
A group of brightly armored Shenjie troops stood guarding both sides, with a formidable force.
When Wang Qi'an entered the palace, the servants and servants seemed to know his identity and saluted one after another, making Wang Qi'an feel as if he had returned to his own general's palace.
At this moment, in the main hall of the main courtyard, two ceremonial officers were busy teaching Qian Sui various court etiquette.
Next to him stood a young general wearing armor.
This person caught a glimpse of Wang Qi'an coming in, showed admiration, stepped forward and saluted:
"Qin Ming, the captain of the Zuofeng Battalion of the Shenjie Army, met with the Taifu. The general was ordered to temporarily guard the palace and obey the deployment of King Hui and the Taifu."
Wang Qi'an saw that this man had thick eyebrows and bulging eyes, and a square face. Although he was ordinary in appearance, he had a tall figure, broad shoulders and long arms, and his wrists dropped down to his knees.
Paired with a suit of armor and a long sword across his waist, he looked majestic.
Wang Qian returned the courtesy with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, General Qin."
Qin Ming said respectfully in a low voice:
"I heard that the Taifu personally killed the northern monster Brahma Fatian and cleared the source of my Buddhism. I am really happy."
Wang Qian looked at him in shock:
"Where did the general hear this?"
Except for a few people involved in the battle against Brahma Fatian, Wang Qianxian mentioned it to outsiders.
Qin Ming said in astonishment:
"Is it possible that the Master doesn't know this? This is the most popular thing in Qiantang City right now."
The influence of Buddhism in East Vietnam is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Brahma Fatian is a notorious evil scum in Buddhism. Naturally, everyone praises him for his subjugation of the law and being punished.
Wang Qi'an is still unable to determine the intentions of the person who spread this news, but it is probably an indisputable fact that he has become a hot topic in Qiantang.
At this time, when Qian Sui saw Wang Qi'an, he hurriedly left the two ceremonial supervisors behind, rushed forward, took his arm and said:
"Master, I don't want to learn these things, you'd better take me to practice."
Wang Qi'an naturally knows how boring it is to learn red tape, but now that Qian Sui has been promoted to prince, he may not be able to escape this level.
He comforted him with a few words, left him to continue studying, asked where Ji Wurui and others were, and then left for the east courtyard.
Ji Wurui and Brother Wenwu were both injured and were resting in their rooms, while Ah Zhen was nowhere to be found.
Wang Qi'an thought that this man's youthful nature meant that he couldn't help but go out for a leisurely stroll, so he didn't care.
He returned to the room assigned to him and dismissed the servants who came to attend him.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, I couldn't help but have ups and downs in my thoughts.
His opinion of Qian Hong has changed drastically, and it can be said that his good impression has completely disappeared.
The reason why he didn't just leave was that, firstly, everyone was injured and needed to recuperate; secondly, he had a master-disciple relationship with Qian Sui and couldn't bear to leave him behind.
Now that things have come to this, we can only wait and see what happens.
It seems that we have to wait until the Dongyue National Day Ceremony next month to resign as Tai Tu before making any plans.
Putting aside his worries, he silently meditated on Taihao's magic. The true energy spread throughout his body, and he couldn't help but enter a state of pure harmony for a moment.
King Jun was Qian Hong's third son Qian Jiao. His mansion was located in the north of the city, less than three kilometers away from the imperial city.
Although the third watch has passed, the house is still brightly lit.
At this time, a purple carriage with a sedan body slowly drove into the backyard of the palace from outside.
Qian Jiao, who was wearing a purple, black and gold dragon robe, and Kong Feng, who had two guns on his back, were waiting in the courtyard.
Next to him were an old man in his fifties in red clothes with double hooks on his back, and a young man in black clothes with flashing eyes. Both of them had a cross pattern of two axes on their arms.
The old man with double hooks was the Qin Huangdian general who besieged Sima Chang and others with Ma Xiyun that day at the Chu-Wu border.
However, at this time, his face was pale, his expression was depressed, and he lacked the majesty and courage he had on that day.
The identity of the young man in black is undoubtedly one of the few war commander-level figures in the Qin Emperor's Palace.
The carriage stopped, and everyone's eyes were dazzled as a man slipped out of the car and fell to the ground.
This man was about thirty years old, with long curly golden hair, a long and narrow face, a high nose and deep eyes. He was very similar to King Youxian who was shot to death by Wang Qi'an in Fukushima that day, but he lacked his arrogance.
The two men in black and red clothes rushed forward and said: "My subordinate Ge Fei, my subordinate Dou Taishan, please see King Zuo Ming."
King Zuo Ming nodded slightly, looked at the old man with double hooks and said:
"Is Taishan's injury better?"
Dou Taishan coughed twice and said:
"Thanks to the elixir given by King Zuo Ming, he has improved a lot now. I didn't expect this thief's skills to be much better than that day."
The blue light in King Zuo Ming's eyes disappeared.
Qian Jiao came up to him and said respectfully:
"Thanks to King Zuo Ming for his advice this time, otherwise I might have ended up like Qian Cong.
My second emperor brother was not only deprived of the title of prince by his father, he was also imprisoned in the palace for three months. "
Kong Feng added:
"Not only that, Wen Guting, who the second prince relied on as his right-hand man, was also thrown into the sky prison and awaited punishment."
Qian Jiao said:
"After all, the spirit bat also contributed a lot. If he hadn't provided more guidance in front of the Holy Master, it would have been difficult to achieve such an effect."
King Zuo Ming said:
“Since ancient times, smart people have spoken out and fools have taken action.
I just added a few words to make people jealous, saying that the emperor's move must be to welcome the establishment of the East Palace. Qian Cong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and took action in a hurry, exposing many flaws. "
Qian Jiao sighed:
"I'm ashamed to say that when Commander Lao first informed me of this news, I was afraid that it wouldn't be much better than Qian Cong.
The father has not established a prince for many years, but suddenly wants to bring a long-lost prince back to the palace, which is inevitably suspicious.
If King Zuo Ming hadn't stopped him in time, I would have made a mistake. "
King Zuo Ming said:
"Even if His Highness really wants to take action, there is nothing he can do.
It’s just that since we have better strategies, there is no need to create distractions at this critical moment. "
Qian Jiao nodded and said with deep understanding:
"We have to rely on King Zuo Ming for this matter. I wonder if the people you have arranged are in place?"
King Zuo Ming laughed and said:
"Your Highness is not going to have a long conversation with me in this open-air courtyard, is he?"
Only then did Qian Jiao react, his face heated up, he smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly welcomed him to the hall.
At this time, a faint sound came from outside the courtyard wall.
"who?"
Ge Fei and Kong Feng were already rushing towards the sound.
There were overgrown weeds behind the wall, and no one was around, but there was a creaking sound coming from the grass-covered area at the foot of the wall.
It turned out that two mice were chasing each other.
The two of them felt relieved and returned to the hospital.
After the two of them were far away, a figure swept out from the grass. It looked like a ghost, rose and fell a few times, and then disappeared.
