After Li Zhan finished his report, he waited for about a stick of incense until Emperor Liang announced his presence, and then Qin Feng stepped into the imperial study.
The imperial study room was the office of Emperor Liang, where important matters such as reviewing memorials were conducted. It can be said that this room is the pinnacle of the power of the Liang Kingdom.
The interior of the royal study is far from the grandeur imagined. Except for some necessary furnishings to show imperial power, it is more of a fresh and elegant style.
Li Zhan was waiting outside the door, but there were only two people in the study, not even a serving maid, so confidentiality work had been taken to the extreme.
Qin Feng raised his head and looked at Emperor Liang. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his early forties. He was not handsome, but he gave people an enigmatic feeling.
When Qin Feng looked at Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang also looked at Qin Feng with a smile.
Then... before Qin Feng could react, he was kicked hard on the buttocks. Qin Tianhu on the side was trembling with anger, gritting his teeth and shouting: "You traitor! How dare you look directly at the saint and don't kneel down to apologize!"
Qin Feng was confused at first, and then he remembered that the rules of meeting the emperor were extremely complicated. Before getting permission from Emperor Liang, he must not look up directly at Emperor Liang, otherwise he would be suspected of "assassinating the king and killing the driver". Yes, Directly launch the Meridian Gate Wen Zhan.
But after looking at it, if he lowers his head now, he will be convicted.
Under Qin Tianhu's murderous gaze, Qin Feng scratched the back of his head and smiled: "I was so excited to meet the saint that I forgot the etiquette for a moment."
As he spoke, Qin Feng bowed in salute and bowed slightly to Emperor Liang: "Slave Qin Feng, please see the saint."
Qin Tian's eyes widened in anger, and he reached out and pinched Qin Feng's ribs with two fingers. Qin Feng grinned in pain, but luckily he could not make a loud noise.
"Even the prince has to kneel down to greet the saint. You are so bold and rebellious, but you just bow and salute?" Qin Tianhu let go, turned around and knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive the saint. There is no need to trouble the imperial army. I will do it myself." Behead this traitor in public!"
Emperor Liang smiled lightly and ignored Qin Tianhu, but looked at Qin Feng with interest.
Since ancient times, wizards have always had eccentric personalities, but this guy is a bit interesting.
He took out a folding book and placed it beside the table: "The piles and piles on this are the facts?"
Qin Feng didn't hesitate at all. He walked over and picked up the book and stood by the desk to read through it. This move almost scared Qin Tianhu to death. Even Li Zhan, who was standing outside the door, looked pale and trembling all over.
Ever since Qin Feng entered the door, there has been a series of death-seeking operations. If this had happened to other people, they would have been beheaded hundreds of times.
On the contrary, Emperor Liang was completely calm. If Qin Feng hadn't come directly to get the memorial just now, it would have proved that this kid was deliberately pretending to be crazy and just pushed him out and chopped him up.
Qin Feng flipped through the memorial, and it was recorded in detail, from Qin Feng falling into the water to the poetry competition, to the beating of the officials' children in Zuixianlou just now. You don't need to think about it to know that all kinds of spy agencies have already filled the entire Kyoto.
Since Emperor Liang was sitting high in the main hall, he could also have a panoramic view of all the goings-on in Kyoto.
Qin Feng was not surprised by Emperor Liang's magical powers. He put the folded book back on the table and said nonchalantly: "It's all true. Wu Yong and An Shiyun each owe me 100,000 taels of medical expenses."
Emperor Liang looked at Qin Feng with a smile, but his eyes seemed to want to shoot Qin Feng through. Seeing that Qin Feng still showed an expression of fearlessness, Emperor Liang threw the fold aside and wrote lightly : "Where did you get that illustration of the crossbow?"
Qin Feng's thick skin, which could not be cut through with three swords, turned red, and he said in embarrassment: "Reporting to the saint, that illustration was copied by a slave. I picked up a torn book of "Tiangong Kaiwu" before, and flipped through it when I was free. I've written it down. But the book is really old, and I'm afraid it has already rotted into dust."
Emperor Liang let out a light 'Oh' and said thoughtfully: "This strong crossbow is ingenious. The Ministry of Industry has seen it. It costs two taels of silver to make a strong crossbow. If you want to scale it up, you have to make one at least." Ten thousand, and a spare inventory of 10,000. The arrows for the crossbow also need to be made separately, which is another huge expense."
"After careful calculation, to form a strong crossbow army, the expenditure on armaments and personnel training will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Although the strong crossbows are good, it is a pity..."
Before Emperor Liang could finish what he said, Qin Feng blurted out: "The saint is short of money? Well, I'll lend it to you."
As soon as he said this, Qin Tianhu was lying on the ground, wailing secretly, what evil had he done in his previous life, how could he have caused such a disaster!
Emperor Liang's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"
Qin Feng held his head high and put on the face of a 'nouveau riche': "If you say anything, you will throw water away. It's just a few hundred thousand taels of silver, what's the problem? Although the ministers in the court are conscientious in their work, what about the children of the officials? But they are all domineering and extremely rich. There are many people in Kyoto who don’t like me. If I take a few more beatings and blackmail a few people, won’t a strong crossbow army appear?"
As soon as he said this, Emperor Liang couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahaha, you are really interesting."
Li Zhan, who was hiding outside the door like a dead man, couldn't help but light up when he heard Emperor Liang's hearty laughter, and the fear in his heart disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng's series of mysterious operations made Long Yan very happy.
Since ancient times, what emperors hate the most is the children of officials. At best, they are called dandies, and at worst, they are worms. Emperor Liang was in high authority, but he was worried about hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Those moths were out and about, and they had tens of thousands of taels of silver at their disposal.
As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep!
Although Qin Feng acted erratically, Emperor Liang was happy to see his success in suppressing the officials' children. Especially when Qin Feng went to blackmail the household minister Zhongcheng Mansion, he made up a jingle. Thinking about it now, Emperor Liang still couldn't help laughing.
Just as Qin Tianhu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Feng poured a basin of cold water on him again, chilling him from head to toe.
Qin Feng looked at Emperor Liang seriously: "This slave is just lending. The money will have to be repaid in the future. As for the interest..."
This villain dared to ask for interest from the saint. Qin Tianhu couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Shut up!"
Qin Feng was so frightened that he ran to Emperor Liang's side and hid behind the desk with a cowardly look on his face.
Wow…
More than a dozen fierce-looking Imperial Guards poured in.
Emperor Liang waved his hand: "Go down."
After shouting the imperial army back, Emperor Liang looked at Qin Tianhu, who almost died suddenly on the spot: "Qin Shangshu does not need to be so harsh, I am not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Let Qin Feng finish."
With Emperor Liang's support, Qin Feng suddenly started to tremble and said proudly: "My money didn't come from the strong wind. What's wrong with charging some interest?"
