In the West Flower Hall of the Forbidden Palace, the sound of playing the piano is lingering.
In the pavilion, the second prince stood with his hands behind his hands, surveying the world in front of him.
The man in white behind him hesitated again and again, but still asked tentatively: "Your Highness really intends to settle the feud with Qin Feng?"
The second prince disliked the word "resolving the old feud" very much.
In this world, anyone who crosses paths with him will definitely pay the price!
But now the situation has suddenly become clearer, Qin Feng is gaining momentum, and no one can resist it in the short term.
Forced by the situation, the second prince also had to change his political direction: "This clothes purification ceremony is the final test of Qin Feng, or the Qin family. Qin Feng handed in a perfect answer sheet and has gained the complete trust of the saint. Saint I issued two edicts in a row, one is to appoint the generals, and the other is to ask the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with Qin Feng as much as possible, which is equivalent to entrusting Qin Feng with half of the authority for the war in Beidi."
Although the second prince did not say it clearly, everyone knew clearly that the other half of the authority was naturally in the hands of Qin Feng's father, Qin Tianhu.
In this way, it is equivalent to the war in Beidi, and the Qin family has already spoken out.
The second prince's eyes showed a deep look: "This battle is not only about the national character of Daliang, but also about the destiny of the country. Whoever can make a contribution in this battle will be rewarded for life... Even I, I must do my best to fight in this battle. This battle left a lasting mark on it, making the saint think of me when he thinks of the Beidi War."
"It's not that I want to win over Qin Feng, but that Qin Feng is an indispensable chess piece in this chess game."
Speaking of this, the second prince glanced out of the corner of his eye and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on over there with Old Seven?"
Mentioning the Seventh Prince, a proud man like Baiyi Ke did not dare to have the slightest contempt in his heart, and quickly replied: "When His Majesty the Seventh Prince returned to the palace, he acted as before, never leaving the front door or taking a step forward."
Although the second prince didn't take Lao Qi seriously on the surface, he never despised him in his heart.
After pondering for a moment, he blurted out: "Ignore it, just prepare gifts and visit the Qin Mansion with me tomorrow."
Speaking of this, the second prince thought of something and turned to look at the girl playing the piano: "At the moment, Qin Feng is the most important thing in this palace. At least until the war in Beidi is settled, you can no longer be rude to Qin Feng. That guy has always been soft-hearted. Being tough, being tough will only arouse resentment and be counterproductive.”
Although the girl playing the piano was unwilling to do so, she could only nod in agreement: "My maid, I will remember."
It's late at night.
Qin Feng, however, was not sleepy at all. The rich man in Beijing, who had always been "treacherous, lazy and greedy", actually sat at his desk for the first time, holding a candle to his heart, writing furiously, and formulating the next war preparation plan.
Xiao Xiangxiang was waiting aside, using scissors from time to time to cut the candle flowers to prevent the flame from being too small and burning the young master's eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but Qin Feng finally stretched out contentedly. Seeing that Xiao Xiangxiang had already fallen asleep on the table, he picked her up and put her on the bed, carefully covering her with a quilt.
Looking at Xiao Xiangxiang's sweet sleeping face, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. He reached out and gently rubbed Xiao Xiangxiang's face. Just when he was about to do something bad, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
I thought it was Lin Quqi, and before he could turn around, he started to sarcastically say: "Brother Lin, do you still have this hobby? You can't tell!"
Hearing a slight cough from behind, Qin Feng's heart trembled, and he quickly turned around and found Comrade Lao Qin standing at the door with a gloomy face.
Damn it, it’s so late, why is dad here?
Qin Feng quickly took his hand away from Xiao Xiangxiang's face and smiled awkwardly: "Dad, you misunderstood. This girl and I are not what you imagined..."
Qin Tianhu snorted lightly, not bothering to pay attention to Qin Feng's excuse, and said in a deep voice: "Today, you will go to the morning court with your father."
Go to morning?
Qin Feng was caught off guard. All officials who went to court in the morning were important ministers of the country. How could he be so virtuous and capable? Besides, it’s time for this guy to go to sleep, so where can he go to court early in the morning?
Qin Feng was reluctant in every possible way, but he couldn't disobey his father's orders, so he had no choice but to pull his face, wash up briefly, and get into Lao Qin's carriage.
When we arrived at the palace gate, it was still dark outside, and it was still around three in the morning.
Under the guidance of the little eunuch, we came to Jiuqing's room.
The place was already crowded with dignitaries. When they saw the Qin family's father and son arriving, they all came together to bow and salute. Only Li Xu was sitting in the corner, with a dark face and a stinking look on his face.
"Mr. Qin, good morning."
"Hey, even Master Qin is here today?"
"Hahaha, we were originally thinking about what we would talk about in the morning. When we saw Master Qin, we knew it. It must be about preparations for war."
Qin Tianhu had long been used to staying up late, and he was full of energy. He quickly returned the greetings to the ministers. Seeing Qin Feng yawning profusely and looking groggy, he kicked him on the buttocks and said angrily: "You still don't want to show your courtesy to the ministers! "
After receiving a kick, Qin Feng finally gained some energy and flattered him with a very responsive attitude.
These ministers were quite enthusiastic about Qin Feng, and they all opened and closed their mouths to congratulate Qin Feng and Xie Yun'er on their marriage.
Just when Qin Feng was almost impatient, the little eunuch finally came to inform everyone to go to the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
Only then did Qin Feng realize that the place where he went to the morning court was not fixed.
Sometimes it is in the Royal Study Room, sometimes in the Yangxin Hall, but most of the time, it is in the three side halls, one of which is the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
But this process was extremely boring. When the ministers were admonishing Emperor Liang for various reasons, Qin Feng simply leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took before I was kicked awake by Qin Tianhu. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and found that Emperor Liang was looking at me with a smile.
"Qin Feng, do you remember that you promised me two troops? How are the preparations going?"
So that was the reason why you made yourself go to court in the middle of the night?
Qin Feng felt unhappy for a while, but he could only smile on his face: "Before we open the border, we must give the saint a satisfactory answer."
Satisfied with the answer?
Emperor Liang was not satisfied with this!
The smile on his face did not diminish, but he took his eyes away from Qin Feng and wrote lightly: "If we wait until the border is cleared and review again, it will be difficult to refer to the weight of this man and horse. In one month, I will see the prototype. It will take three months to achieve results. The war in Beidi is a national strategy. If you dare to neglect it, I don’t need to say more about the consequences."
Why are you talking so anxiously?
Qin Feng thought to himself, this old guy is too capricious!
At this moment, Li Xu added: "The financial expenses for the second half of the year have been fully booked. The Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Rites all have major expenditures, and funds for food and salary and military supplies have to be reserved. We are no longer able to support other expenses. , Master Qin doesn’t want to hang out at this door of the household department."
Damn it! They are all ready for war, and they are still digging around with me!
Qin Feng was about to protest, but was held down by Qin Tianhu, who kept indicating with his eyes that this was the saint's intention and had nothing to do with Li Xu.
