Of course, it was not only Shen Yue who had this question, but also many ministers present and the emperor in a high position.
Qin Ying smiled: "The Liang King is not only good at wine, but his poems are also excellent. It has really opened my eyes and everyone's. I believe that it won't be long before our Daxia will produce an eternal literary saint!"
Qin Yun cupped his hands and said, "Father, you are so complimentary!"
At this time, Concubine Xiao snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, there may not be an eternal literary saint, but there is one in front of the person who deceives the emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Concubine Xiao. Qin Ying glanced at Concubine Xiao coldly.
"Why did Concubine Xiao say this?"
Qin Ying's tone was cold, and he even omitted the word "beloved concubine" that he usually talked about. It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
But it was precisely this that made Concubine Xiao make up her mind.
Now is the critical moment for her to seize the throne. It is a small thing for her to lose face, but it is a big deal for her son to eliminate the threats on the way to seize the throne.
Concubine Xiao: "Your Majesty, do you remember that half a year ago, you ordered all princes to participate in civil and military examinations to determine their title levels?"
Qin Ying nodded slightly: "Of course I remember that it is the ancestral method. Every prince who is over eighteen years old must go and take the assessment."
Concubine Xiao looked at Qin Yun with a sneer: "Then if you deliberately conceal your strength during the assessment, is this crime comparable to the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Qin Ying's eyes narrowed: "Concubine Xiao, just say it directly if you have anything to say, no need to beat around the bush!"
Concubine Xiao stood up slowly: "At that time, Qin Yun's words and sentences were not clear at all, and his martial arts skills were even more mediocre. I would like to ask Your Majesty, as well as all the adults present, how could a normal person defeat the elites of Bei Qi in just half a year? "
The officials were whispering and discussing endlessly, and Qin Ying also glanced at Qin Yun coldly.
Concubine Xiao chuckled: "From my perspective, there are only two possibilities!"
"First, Qin Yun collaborated with the enemy and treason, and pretended to stage this good show with Northern Qi. The purpose was to win the trust of His Majesty, and Northern Qi would support his puppet to compete for my position as the crown prince of Great Xia."
"Two, Qin Yun deliberately concealed his strength half a year ago. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and he should be executed according to law!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were in an uproar. Concubine Xiao's methods were really ruthless. She wanted to put Qin Yun to death!
Qin Ying's face darkened: "Qin Yun, is this possible?"
Qin Yun immediately denied it: "Father, my son is in the capital. It is ridiculous to collaborate with the enemy and treason. I believe that the Jinyi Guards can verify it themselves!"
Concubine Xiao sneered: "Then how do you explain your literary talent and martial arts?"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "A mouse is short-sighted. As the ancients said, after seeing each other for three days, you should look at each other with admiration. Half a year ago, I accomplished nothing. Is it possible that my achievements suddenly improved by leaps and bounds in these six months?"
Xiao Guifei: "Who do you think among the people present will believe your lies? Martial arts can be trained hard, but what about literary talent? I would like to ask all the adults present, which one of you has not studied hard for ten years in Hanchuang? Is it possible that in your eyes, their ten One year's work is not as good as half a year's suffering?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Because I am different from them!"
Concubine Xiao: "Sneer, what's the difference? Your Majesty, please punish Qin Yun for deceiving the emperor!"
Qin Ying sighed. As the king of a country, how could he not know the thoughts of the person next to him.
But the country has national laws and the family has family rules. No matter how much he admires Qin Yun, he must maintain justice. If Qin Yun is left alone, wouldn't anyone be able to bully the emperor in the future?
Qin Ying said helplessly: "Someone, send Qin Yun to the clan's residence to await his punishment!"
"Wait!"
Concubine Xiao: "Qin Yun, what else do you have to say?"
Qin Yun's eyes were cold, but also full of fire. Isn't it because Xiao Guifei was so targeted because she was afraid that she would steal the limelight from her son and cause the crown prince to fall by the wayside?
Coincidentally, in his previous life, he was an agent and had tried various identities, but he had yet to experience the joy of being an emperor!
In this life, if he, Qin Yun, wants to be the emperor, let alone a little noble concubine, even the coming of Jesus will not be able to stop him.
Qin Yun stood up suddenly: "Father, please give me a chance to prove myself!"
Qin Ying's eyes turned cold: "How do you want to prove it?"
Qin Yundao said: "Concubine Xiao thinks that my inability to achieve such an achievement in half a year is nothing more than saying that I cannot read a lot of books and have a deep knowledge. As long as I prove that I have the ability to learn five things in this half year, will it prove that I am not I haven’t deceived you!”
Concubine Xiao sneered: "He is secretly changing his concept. Your Majesty, please don't listen to his nonsense!"
Qin Ying snorted coldly: "He is my son, and you are my concubine. Why do you have to make a life-and-death fight today?"
"Qin Yun, as long as you present evidence and convince me and the ministers, I will pardon you!"
Concubine Xiao was so angry that her teeth itched, Qin Yun cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, father!"
Then Qin Yun said: "I heard that your Majesty is in charge of the palace's account books, so please ask your Majesty to order someone to bring up all the accounts for this month!"
Everyone was puzzled, and Concubine Xiao was also a little wary.
"What do you want to do?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "My dear, do you believe that within half an hour, I can write down all the accounts."
Concubine Xiao: "What does this prove?"
Qin Yun smiled: "This proves that I have a superb memory and it is not difficult to read enough classics in half a year."
"My lords, I believe you all understand the truth. The so-called literary talent is nothing but accumulation over time. There is only one kind of genius in this world, and that is the genius who works hard!"
As soon as she said this, Concubine Xiao laughed wildly in her heart. There were many accounts in Daxia's harem, and there was even a special department of eunuchs responsible for managing these accounts. He couldn't memorize them even if he was given half an hour, let alone half a month.
With a wave of her hand, she ordered several baskets of accounts to be picked up. The account books were piled in front of everyone, like a hill.
"If you can really memorize it, I will not only believe in your talent, but I will also apologize to you. But if you don't memorize it..."
Qin Yun stepped forward with a smile: "Then I am willing to take the blame!"
After saying that, Qin Yun came to the mountain of books, relaxed his mind, and read ten lines at a glance.
Everyone shook their heads secretly when they saw this. The Ninth Prince was talented, but he was too proud and arrogant. How could he write down so many accounts in half an hour?
Even Qin Ying felt that Qin Yun was being harsh. He had already begun to think of ways to favor the up-and-coming Xiao Jiu.
But little did they know that in his previous life, Qin Yun had already developed a photographic memory in order to steal intelligence secrets from hostile forces.
He even secretly participated in the World's Strongest Brain Memory Challenge and won the championship under an alias. To put it bluntly, these accounts are a piece of cake for him!
Soon, after half an hour passed, Qin Yun remembered all the accounts piled up like a hill, and he stood up suddenly.
"Father, Imperial Concubine Xiao, and my sons and ministers have all been noted down!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Concubine Xiao naturally didn't believe it. She stepped forward, took out a book from the mountain of books and asked.
"I would like to ask you, how much cloth was consumed in the palace last month?"
Qin Yun replied confidently: "One hundred and twenty pieces of high-grade cloth, 318 pieces of medium-grade cloth, and 916 pieces of low-grade cloth. The total cost is ninety-six thousand, seven hundred and eighty taels of silver!"
Concubine Xiao once again pulled out an account: "How much is the monthly salary of the eunuchs in the palace? There are 6,346 eunuchs in the palace, with a monthly salary of 189,368 taels, including eunuchs of fifth grade and above..."
Concubine Xiao did not believe in evil and asked again: "The underage prince, how much is the monthly salary of the young master?"
Qin Yun still replied calmly: "Two hundred and seventy-nine thousand, three hundred and twenty-six taels!"
Concubine Xiao's heart sank. Could it be that Qin Yun really has the ability to have a photographic memory?
She continued to ask questions, and Qin Yun answered as usual. Every time she saw that the accounts were exactly the same as what Qin Yun said, her mood became lower and lower!
How could there be such a talented person in this world?
From Concubine Xiao's expression, it was not difficult for the ministers to see that Qin Yun was right. He actually remembered the palace's accounts just by looking at them?
Even Shen Yue felt a little ashamed of herself. The most talented woman in the capital might not even be worthy of carrying shoes in front of Qin Yun!
Bah bah...how can I speak for this bastard!
Shen Yue looked at Qin Yun's profile and couldn't help but think of the madness last night. She rubbed her knees, put her legs together and changed her position to sit.
Shen Wansan on the side saw her shyness.
"Girl, what's wrong? But I feel uncomfortable!"
Shen Yue lowered her head and blushed.
"No...nothing!"
Shen Wansan looked at Qin Yun, his face darkened.
On the other side, Qin Yun saw that Concubine Xiao had stopped asking. He smiled and said, "My Lady, is there anything else you don't understand?"
Concubine Xiao snorted coldly and threw down the account.
"You pass!"
But Qin Yun's eyes narrowed: "I have passed the test, but what about the empress?"
Concubine Xiao's eyes turned cold, and she bowed reluctantly: "I wrongly blamed Prince Liang, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around. She had lost a lot of face today, but just when he was thinking about how to take revenge on Qin Yun, Qin Yun suddenly called Concubine Xiao.
"Mother, I'm afraid there's something I need you to explain!"
Concubine Xiao's eyes were full of anger: "I have already apologized, what else do you want?"
As he spoke, Qin Yun walked to the mountain of books and pulled out two books of accounts.
"This is the general ledger of the palace, and this one is the account of the Clothes Bureau. It stands to reason that the expenses for the loss of clothing of the palace ladies recorded in the two accounts should be consistent. Madam, can you see for yourself how much difference there is? "
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xiao was in confusion.
"I don't understand what you are saying!"
