The sky was slightly bright, the mist and rain were lingering, and the water mist shrouded Longyin City.
Qin Shou'an opened his eyes and heard a cock crow in the distance.
Huaiyu, who was sleeping in the outer room, had already gotten up to freshen up and change clothes.
Yue Qing and Han Xin came over to replace Huai Yu and entered the room to help Qin Shou'an get up.
Young people are full of energy when they wake up in the morning, especially after practicing internal skills and mental methods to strengthen their bodies.
Fortunately, Yue Qing and Han Xin had already learned how to avoid taboos and pretend to turn a blind eye, so they were not like Jia Baoyu who had a dream about clouds and rain in Wushan and was touched by an attacker on the leg, causing some trouble.
After Qin Shou'an washed up, he found a place in the courtyard to meditate.
The unparalleled mental energy started to circulate, and heat began to evaporate from his body.
Gradually, Qin Shou'an entered a state of ethereal meditation, feeling like his soul was floating and separated from his body.
At this time, the body automatically exercises the internal organs, spirit and blood according to the mental method.
But at this time, he could think about problems and examine the situation and environment he faced in an extremely calm and clear state.
His first priority now is to inherit the throne.
Send relevant documents and the imperial gold coupons and seals symbolizing the identity of King Langya to Zongzheng Temple, and then see them in the palace.
Zongzheng Temple sent someone to hold a succession ceremony and handed the prince new documents, gold coupons and seals. He was the new King of Langya.
The old prince Qin Heng is the cousin of Emperor Taizong, but he was raised by Emperor Taizu since he was a child.
After growing up together with Emperor Taizong, he was closer than his direct brothers who had the same mother as Emperor Taizong. Later, he was awarded the hereditary title of prince without demotion.
After Qin Shou'an succeeded to the throne, he could take charge of the Jiuzhou government office and mobilize the power of the Jiuzhou government office to secretly investigate the cause of Qin Heng's death.
We want to see if it is just the so-called "immediate wind" as Tang Wanrong said.
He would not really believe Tang Wanrong's words... even if they were endorsed by the palace, and let his father's death seem like a shameful joke.
As for the internal affairs of the palace, he was not very anxious.
If Tang Wanrong wants to continue to maintain his prestigious position in the palace, he can just let her go... As for some important properties in the palace, he will still have to check them out in the future.
Normally, one month is more than enough time for the throne succession process to be completed, but if someone deliberately interferes, this matter can drag on for a year and a half, which will make you sick.
This possibility is unlikely. After all, the matter is serious. If you jump out and disgust someone, the price you pay is to offend a prince... Unless Qin Shou'an rebels and rebels, the throne cannot be escaped.
But we have to be careful, just like Qin Shou'an also met a person like Tang Zhong, who is shrewd and smart, and knows how to watch people's actions and calculations, but it's not because he can't see Qin Shou'an's style and thinks he's targeting those who don't know. If you are not guilty, you will at most be reprimanded or beaten with a cane, and in the end you will lose your life.
Whether they are ordinary people in the market or princes and nobles, there is no shortage of such people. Being shrewd can never guarantee peace, but being confused can lead to death.
"The young prince is puffing up and smoking!"
Qin Shouan's five senses were fully activated and his perception was extremely sharp. Just as he was thinking about something, he found two women, Yue Qing and Han Xin, sneaking up against the wall and hiding behind the rockery in the corner of the yard to peek at him.
They knew they couldn't disturb Qin Shouan's practice, so they thought they wouldn't hinder him by hiding there.
Qin Shou'an shook his head secretly and continued to sit in a sitting position, preparing to stop the exercise, but did not pay attention to them immediately.
"Would you like to give him a robe?" Yue Qing suggested with concern.
"It's not good... the young prince will be like a steamer in a bun shop, covered with cloth on top and steaming on the bottom."
Han Xin shook her head again and again, and felt that the young prince looked like a bun when he was a child, but not anymore.
"What are you talking about! The young prince practices peerless magical skills. What I'm worried about is that if we go to put clothes on him, he will knock us away later."
Yue Qing still remembers what Qin Shouan told him about the power of some peerless masters when he was a child.
"Ah, so powerful?"
"No, the young prince is the senior brother of Tiandao Sect."
"The young prince was so young when he became a disciple of the Tiandao Sect. How could he be a senior brother? Is this ranking because he has grown up later?" Han Xin recalled the scene of dressing the young prince with a red face. It was a bit confusing. The child was proudly thinking wildly.
"He is the young prince. He has the highest status. Except for Master, no one else can be ranked in front of him..."
"What are you doing here?" Qin Shou'an had already walked up to them. The two of them were squatting there, admiringly discussing his apprenticeship and learning skills, imagining his majesty in the Tiandao Sect.
"Little prince... we are protecting you to prevent you from going crazy." Yue Qing explained seriously.
Han Xin also touched his face and nodded.
"You don't have any skills, how can you protect me?"
"If...if someone comes in at this time, we can at least help you block...for a while." Han Xin stood up, pushed with both hands, making a blocking movement, but almost touched Qin Shou'an's chest. He quickly shrank back.
The young prince is no longer the fat little boy who was so fleshy and comfortable to touch when he was a child. His naked upper body makes people blush.
The two little women quickly lowered their heads and stared at the ground nervously, as if they had been scolded by Qin Shouan.
Qin Shou'an smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted their heads.
When he first came to this world, he was inevitably a little strange and nervous, but the person who appeared by his side at that time, accompanied him, protected him, and made him feel warm and at ease, is still in front of him now, which is a wonderful thing. , he naturally treats them gently.
It is for the same reason that he will seek to get to the bottom of his father's death.
Just after breakfast, Tang Wanrong sent someone to pass the news and asked him to go outside the house to receive the reward from the palace.
Qin Shou'an thought about it, should he give a stick first and then a sweet date?
The standard of the old prince's funeral has been reduced, and some rewards have been given to show that the old prince's affairs are over. The palace's holy support for the Langya Palace is still there?
"The servant who came to report the news earlier said that this is a reward from His Majesty."
Tang Wanrong and Qin Shou'an stood together, with a layer of fog in their eyes, as if Qin Shou'an was becoming more and more difficult to understand.
How could His Majesty the Emperor, who had never held any real power and rarely spoken out on court affairs because the Queen Mother held so much power, did such an incident on the second day after Qin Shou'an returned to Beijing?
Are you trying to win over Qin Shouan?
Involving the game between His Majesty and the Queen Mother?
What kind of signal does such a reward send to everyone in the court?
Is His Majesty preparing some tests before taking office?
Tang Wanrong felt that most of Longyin City would start thinking about this matter.
She had already seen people from various houses standing on the street from far and near, ready to watch... Everyone was very well-informed.
The eunuch who announced the reward arrived quickly. In front of Prince Langya's palace, he had already swept the floor and burned incense, waiting respectfully.
As the eunuch who announced the decree read through the imperial gift list, Qin Shou'an gradually raised his head in the slanting wind and drizzle, his eyes filled with incomprehensible confusion.
"...twenty fragrant pigs for slaughter, fifty big and small fragrant pigs in March, twenty big sheep and twenty lambs on the river bank, ten snowy mountain white-hoofed yaks, one hundred catties of fresh yak meat, and one hundred kilograms of dried beef. Jin, a load of golden fish maw, a load of Zhenhai shark fin tip gold fin needles, a load of South China Sea blood swallow nests, a load of South China Sea unicorn embroidered sea cucumbers, a load of snow clams lying on the ground in the mountains and forests..."
Tang Wanrong couldn't help but glance sideways at Qin Shou'an.
The palace often gives some rare or ordinary food, and the gift list for festivals also includes chicken, duck, fish and other ordinary things that people travel around. However, this is the first time such a reward has been given since the founding of the New Qin Dynasty.
Does His Majesty the Emperor treat him as a pig? Still feeding pigs? No, this is feeding gluttons, even pigs can't eat so much.
"Your Majesty said: Your Majesty is too thin, it would be better if you eat fat." The eunuch who delivered the order said with a smile on his face.
