Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang An's face condensed: "What did you say? Qin Yun kicked you out and said he would never show mercy?"
Yang Shuheng nodded dullly.
"Father, if we don't pay, let's see what Qin Yun can do to our Yang family?"
Yang An frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. Where did Qin Yun get such confidence?"
Yang An was pacing back and forth, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Quick, I'm going to pay homage to the White Army God!"
Yang Shuheng looked at the sky and saw that the stars and moon were already hanging.
"Father, how about tomorrow?"
"No, right now, there is only one person in the capital who can influence His Majesty's thoughts!"
"I must go find out what he has to say."
"Go quickly!"
"yes!"
But how did Yang An know that Bai Jun Shen was in the palace at this moment, accompanying Emperor Xia to make tea around the stove.
In Qianyuan Pavilion, Emperor Xia was dressed in fur and put his hands on the stove. The little eunuch beside him was struggling to pull the bellows, trying to make the firepower stronger.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the White Army God stood in the wind and snow, seemingly unaffected.
"Lao Bai, come in and sit down!"
Bai Junshen said: "No need, Daxia has ancestral teachings that warriors are not allowed to approach the emperor within ten steps!"
Emperor Xia smiled and said: "If you have the intention to harm me, no matter how many Jin Yi guards and dragon guards you have, it will be in vain."
Bai Junshen refused: "I just want to experience the feeling of being cold inside and outside."
Emperor Xia: "Oh, what happened to Bai Junshen?"
Bai Junshen said calmly: "Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs!"
Emperor Xia coughed a few times, looking like he was terminally ill.
"Come in and have a few words with me!"
Bai Junshen then stepped into the pavilion, flicked the snow on his white clothes and sat cross-legged in front of Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia held the teapot from Huolu Mountain and personally poured a pot of tea for Bai Junshen.
"Lao Bai, tell me, what do people fear most in this life?"
Bai Junshen: "Death!"
Emperor Xia's hands trembled, and then he burst into laughter: "Lao Bai is as straightforward as ever! I remember my father asked me the same question back then. At that time, he was still in his dying years, and he had been pursuing a realm above the Grand Master all his life, but martial arts seemed to have an end. , the higher you go up, the narrower the road becomes.”
Bai Junshen: "The late emperor is not good enough. Even if he has the royal treasure house, the grandmaster is the limit. He will not listen to forcefully break through the grandmaster, otherwise he should be built now."
Emperor Xia smiled bitterly: "Yes, my father must have built it here. He just left, but my younger brother also became obsessed with this thing."
Bai Junshen: "The Zhao family dynasty died because of seeking immortality. I still say the same thing, there is no immortality in this world."
Emperor Xia: "Then how should Fairy Ye explain it?"
Bai Junshen paused: "I don't know!"
Emperor Xia laughed loudly: "Everyone in the world thinks that my brother and I were bewitched by her beauty, fought with each other, and turned against each other. But they don't know that she is someone we can never reach."
Bai Junshen: "The witchcraft of Miao territory is weird, mysterious, and contains a curse. Chen is destroyed here, and Beimoer is also trapped in it. Your Majesty, it is better not to think too much about it."
Emperor Xia nodded: "I understand, I don't want future generations to give me the name of a country-destroying king. Today, the God of the White Army is here just for one thing, to establish the heir apparent!"
Bai Junshen narrowed his eyes: "Didn't Your Majesty already make a decision?"
Emperor Xia sighed: "I didn't expect this knife to be so sharp!"
Bai Junshen said bluntly: "Do you want to change Qin Yun's position?"
Emperor Xia shook his head: "I agree, do you four families agree? No, it should be five families. I didn't expect that the Yuan family would be so decisive in getting away."
Bai Junshen said bluntly: "Qin Yun is a prince, which benefits the world, but it is not good for the family, and it is good for the people, but not good for the country."
Emperor Xia nodded slightly: "His reforms in Luochuan and what he did in Tongzhou seemed to give the people something to rely on, but they ignored one of the most essential issues."
Bai Junshen smiled and said: "I ignored the same problem as I did back then. I also thought the same way back then, wielding a spear to destroy and innovate. But it is only now that I understand that it is easy to break the old, but it is even more difficult to create the new. "
Xia Huang said: "It is the Bai Army God who sees clearly. Everyone says that under the command of the Bai Army God, all the country belongs to the Bai family."
Bai Junshen's face darkened and he cupped his hands and said, "The Bai family will always be Xia Chen!"
"Ahem... The Bai Army God doesn't have to be like this, I believe in the Bai family!"
Bai Junshen nodded.
"Since Your Majesty is not willing to make Qin Yun the crown prince, why are you asking about the crown prince again? The Bai family naturally supports Qin Zheng."
Emperor Xia was stunned: "God White Army, don't try to trick me!"
Army God Bai frowned: "Your Majesty, when did I, Bai, tell lies?"
Emperor Xia suddenly felt that he had been fooled: "Then Qin Yun, where does he have the confidence to go up to the court today? He pointed at my nose and said that he wants to clear the emperor's side!"
Bai Junshen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there such a thing? I was in seclusion during the day and didn't hear about it."
Emperor Xia nodded: "I thought your Bai family turned to him! Is this kid betting that I won't dare to kill him?"
Bai Jun Shen muttered: "I can't see, maybe he has someone else to rely on."
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "Who is it?"
Bai Junshen shook his head: "I am a martial artist and don't like to use my brain. Your Majesty, you should find someone else to ask. If nothing happens, I will say goodbye!"
After saying that, he stood up and left without any hesitation.
Emperor Xia was not annoyed by this unreasonable move. After all, Bai Junshen had the qualifications.
However, Bai Junshen's statement stumped Emperor Xia.
He didn't expect that one day he would be tricked by Jiuzi, whom he had never been optimistic about.
But at this moment, Liu Jin stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Shen Wansan, Master Shen wants to see you!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "Let him get out!"
"promise!"
Shen Wansan bowed and rolled in the snow, looking at Emperor Xia with a look of resentment.
"Your Majesty, Shen Wansan, pays homage to you!"
Emperor Xia said angrily: "Stop pretending to me, tell me! What have you been doing for more than a month, where is Hong Haoxuan?"
Shen Wansan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have been locked up by that kid. Commander Hong went to see Han Weilong and was arrested by Han Weilong. Why did you send Han Weilong to stop Qin Yun? These two boys wear the same pair of pants."
Emperor Xia suddenly felt like his head was spinning. It was only then that he realized why Qin Yun had passed through the Pingjin estuary.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Shen Wansan didn't hide his words. He told what happened in Longyou, how Qin Yun manipulated Han Weilong, and the relationship between Han Jiangxue and Qin Yun.
Emperor Xia directly cursed: "Evil son!"
Then he told what he had seen in Qiongzhou. When he heard that Qin Yun built an armored ship to sweep away the pirates and beat the Japanese on Ryukyu Island to the point where they were running away, Emperor Xia opened his mouth with a look of shock.
No matter how true the information is, it can't compare to Shen Wansan's vivid speech.
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "Shen Wansan, why do I think you have rebelled? You said Qin Yun had an invincible master under his command. If I remember correctly, I didn't give him a tael of silver when he left."
"On the contrary, he was in Tongzhou and made a lot of money for me."
Shen Wansan said: "Your Majesty, he has no money, but those wealthy families in Qiongzhou do. He scraped them off twice and obtained the start-up capital."
"Then I borrowed another 10 million taels from Yue, and later took hundreds of millions of taels of silver from Yue."
"This is not over yet. Qiongzhou's salt factory, sugar factory, arsenal, and ironworks are all in full swing. They have started doing business with the Luzon countries and the wealthy families along the coast, making tens of thousands of dollars a day."
"Also, Fusang was defeated and Qin Yun was compensated with a total of 100 million taels of silver. I, the Minister of Household Affairs, have never seen such a large amount of silver left in the treasury..."
Emperor Xia paused, and he admitted that he underestimated these nine sons. No, he had never underestimated him, but these nine sons were too... too capable.
Emperor Xia was both excited and confused. Is this really his son?
Even if it is his imperial brother, Daxia will not worry about having no successor, but the problem is that Qin Yun's methods are too ruthless.
Also, only now did Emperor Xia understand why Qin Yun was uttering such arrogant words in the main hall. He was not joking or deceiving him. He might not even care about the position of the crown prince!
After all, even if the court took over for him, it would be a mess.
Emperor Xia reacted: "Qin Yun, he wants to start a new stove?"
Shen Wansan paused: "He does have this ability!"
Emperor Xia rubbed his swollen head. He looked at Shen Wansan, his expression suddenly became kind.
"Shen Aiqing, you are back. Of course you will be in charge of this household department. You have also seen Qin Yun's development in Qiongzhou. It would be better for you to be in charge of the reform."
Shen Wansan said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, you are trying to force me to death! How can I have the courage? He never blinks when he kills someone."
"I don't have to blink!" Emperor Xia snorted coldly.
Shen Wansan: "It's different, it's really different. When Qin Yun was doing this, there were many people who supported him. He didn't just kill. How can I put it... I can't explain clearly. Why don't your majesty ask him to ask in person? Just ask."
Emperor Xia had a dark face: "Emotions, are you here to spy on me?"
Shen Wansan: "How dare I!"
For some reason, Emperor Xia suddenly felt much better.
"Whatever, I can still survive for a few more years, but I want to see how far they can go!"
Shen Wansan paused: "Your Majesty, aren't you terminally ill?"
Emperor Xia's face turned cold: "Shen Wansan, just by your words, I can chop off your head!"
"I'm just pretending, do you understand?"
Shen Wansan looked suspicious, and Emperor Xia raised his eyes: "Bring me the sword!"
Shen Wansan immediately hid behind the pillar: "Your Majesty is physically strong, very strong."
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Do you still want to see your son?"
Shen Wansan nodded: "I think!"
Emperor Xia: "Then you return to Qin Yun and work as a spy for me."
Shen Wansan paused: "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Household Affairs. This is not good!"
Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "Here's the decree, Shen Wansan has collided with the Holy Emperor and will be dismissed from all positions immediately and demoted to a commoner!"
Shen Wansan wanted to cry but had no tears, so he tried to talk nonsense, and the official was lost!
But he had to smile and say, "Thank you, Lord!"
