Qin Tian's expression changed. He didn't expect that Qin Yun really got so many identity tokens and asked him to slap himself in front of everyone. What would the world think?
Everyone will laugh at him, and will definitely say that he is worse than a loser. Of course, it is embarrassing on the one hand, and the most important thing is, people will think that he, the eldest prince, has lost to a loser like this?
Who will dare to support him in seizing the throne in the future?
But he soon found an excuse: "Who said that I lost? Qin Yun, who can prove that you took these tokens yourself and were not given to you intentionally by Qi State? When you prove it, I will fulfill my promise Agreement."
Qin Yun chuckled lightly: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely make you convinced of your defeat!"
Qin Tian said coldly, greeted his people, but was the first to leave.
At this time, Qin Hao leaned forward and asked with a gossipy face: "Ninth brother, your princess of Qi is really nothing? Tell me, how do you feel?"
Qin Yun said angrily: "Rather than caring about this, second brother should find a way to get the saltpeter mine as soon as possible. While the weather is hot now, we can make more money."
Qin Hao paused. Unexpectedly, Qin Yun was still concerned about making money at this time. Isn't he really worried about being slandered by Qin Tian and others for colluding with Qi?
Qin Hao secretly smiled: "This ninth brother is interesting, but he is right, if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain!"
Qin Hao gave Qin Yun a reassuring look.
"Ninth brother, don't worry, second brother will stand with you!"
That look and tone clearly hinted at something, but Qin Yun was wary. Compared with the eldest prince who showed his sharpness and the fourth prince who was just showing his madness, Qin Yun was more interested in this second brother who was also a palace maid. His guard was not relaxed at all.
If nothing else, judging from the disciples from the aristocratic families gathered around him, he definitely had his own ideas about the throne. If a prince didn't want to inherit the throne, why would he put himself in danger?
Since he is here, he must be here to gain political resources!
Such a person may seem mediocre, but once he becomes serious, Qin Yun guarantees that he is more threatening than anyone else.
Qin Yun naturally knew that Qin Hao actually wanted him to be a target in front of him.
In the battle for the right to inherit the rightful son, just these people here, ten of them can give you twelve ideas!
Qin Yun cupped his hands and smiled: "Second brother, we have to move around more in the future!"
Qin Hao laughed loudly, and the two of them put their arms around each other, looking very familiar with each other, but only each other knew how much truth there was in the laughter.
…
Beijing, Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The emperor personally hosted a banquet to entertain everyone who participated in the competition.
"My dear sons, you have accomplished a great feat this time!"
"Northern Qi has submitted its credentials to Daxia, returning the Hexi Corridor two thousand miles from east to west and five hundred miles from north to south to Daxia. I am very pleased."
"All those who died in the battle will be given a three-level burial. Those who have won the order will be promoted to officials and nobles. The Ministry of Household Affairs will come up with a charter someday to reward them based on their merits!"
"promise."
Then Qin Ying changed the subject: "I heard that some of my good princes also made great contributions this time."
"Qin Tian!"
Qin Tian took a step forward: "My son is here!"
Qin Ying smiled and said: "In this battle, you bravely killed the enemy and lived up to the majesty of King Qin. I will give you a set of King Qin's bows, and also give you fifty horses, which can be used as a pair of two hundred soldiers."
Qin Tian was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father, I will do my best!"
"Qin Hao!"
"My son is here."
Qin Ying also said with a smile: "I will give you a summer resort. In addition, I heard that you and Chen Aiqing's daughter are in love with each other, so I will betroth her to you. You must treat her well."
Qin Hao cupped his hands with great joy on his face: "Thank you, Father!"
The marriage between the prince and the daughter of the ministers is not as simple as two lovers being in love. The Chen Aiqing mentioned by Qin Ying is none other than Chen Shutong, the Minister of Rites.
Major national affairs include military affairs and sacrifices. The Ministry of Rites is not only in charge of various sacrificial and celebration activities in Daxia, but also serves as the diplomatic department of Daxia. Under normal circumstances, envoys are also officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Qin Hao married the daughter of the Minister of Rites, so his status was naturally more stable, which was even more generous than Qin Tian's reward.
However, Qin Tian didn't care, he just looked down on the Ministry of Rites.
Then came the fourth prince Qin Chen, and Qin Ying waved.
"Chen'er, come forward!"
Such an action made the princes almost want to burst into flames, but they did not dare to say anything at the moment. As we all know, among the princes, Prince Da Xia seemed to be particularly fond of Qin Chen, not for anything else but because of his appearance and appearance. Qin Ying is the most similar.
Everyone is, that's what Qin Ying looked like when he was young.
Qin Chen stepped forward without being humble or arrogant, his eyes full of true feelings.
"Father!"
Qin Ying held Qin Chen's hand: "Chen'er, you have suffered!"
Qin Chen shook his head: "If I can share my father's worries, my sons and ministers will not suffer."
Qin Ying smiled and said: "I heard that you must have hurt your body after running all the way this time. Well, Xianyang Palace is still empty now. You can stay there for a few days so that the imperial doctors in the palace can help you recuperate. "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Qin Tian, Qin Hao, and all the ministers changed.
Where is Xianning Palace? That was the place where the prince studied, and it belonged to the East Palace.
If you let Qin Chen live in it, doesn't that mean you want to make Qin Chen the prince?
For a moment, Qin Tian's eyes were full of fire, and Qin Hao suppressed the unwillingness in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the excited Concubine Yang beside him.
Sure enough, is origin that important?
And Qin Chen was so excited that he almost jumped up. After so many years, he finally made it to this day.
He will be a prince soon!
However, before Qin Ying made it clear, everything was still uncertain. Qin Chen said eagerly: "Father, my son has grown up and is living in the palace like this. If there is no explanation, I am afraid the people in the world will make irresponsible remarks! "
As soon as he said this, Qin Ying let go of Qin Chen's hand and returned to the dragon chair alone, deep in thought.
He glanced at Qin Tian, Qin Hao, and even Qin Yun, who was expressionless on the side, and said after some consideration, "I was a little careless!"
"Let's do this. You should stay in Prince Chen's Mansion. I will ask your mother to take care of you, and I will also bring the imperial doctor with me!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Chen instantly fell from heaven to hell.
"No, that's not the case!"
Qin Chen: "Father, I still want to live in Xianning Palace first."
Qin Ying pretended to be angry and said: "No, this is against the rules, I can't set a precedent for you!"
Qin Chen gritted his teeth and said: "My dear, I have a way..."
At this time, Qin Tian stood up. He knew that he could not let Qin Chen talk any more. What if Qin Ying relented and made Qin Chen the prince?
At this moment, he knew what he had to say, and it was also time for the court officials to stand in line and express their stance.
Qin Tiandao: "Father, there happens to be a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in my son's house, which can heal my fourth brother's injuries."
Qin Hao on the side also bowed forward: "My son happens to know the best doctor in the world. Maybe he can treat my fourth brother."
Qin Ying did not respond to the two of them, but turned to look at Qin Yun and asked with a smile: "Qin Yun, why don't you speak?"
