In the early morning, as soon as Qin Zhao went out, he saw a carriage parked in front of the door.
When the people in the carriage heard the door open, they lifted the curtain and shouted to Qin Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, get in the carriage and let's go to court together."
Qin Zhao had been disgusted by Qi Qige the whole morning. He frowned and got on the carriage, "How old is he? He's not in shape yet."
"Hahaha"
Qi Qige shook her fan and was extremely happy. They finally worked together again after five years.
Along the way, Qi Qige was explaining the personnel affairs of the court to Qin Zhao. He had a good idea of who was working with whom and who was not dealing with whom.
Qin Zhao felt relieved when he saw that he had really not taken sides in the past five years.
Qi Qige: "You don't have to be afraid of anyone. You have truly risen from the bottom. You are not something anyone can do if they want to."
"Um"
.............................
After Qin Zhao went to court, Cao Xi went to the study with Qin Yuxuan.
Cao Xi prepared clothes samples and building block designs, while Qin Yuxuan sat next to her and read the Three Character Classic.
But Qin Yuxuan is a child after all, and he can't sit still. He shouted several times, and Cao Xi took him to play games.
It wasn't until lunch that Cao Xi had finished half of his manuscripts.
Fortunately, Qin Yuxuan had the habit of taking a nap, which gave Cao Xi time to sort out the information.
On Qin Zhao's side, since he was devolved for five years after passing the top exam, most people in the court didn't know him.
After returning to Beijing, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. All officials must pass through his assessment, which made him the target of competition among various parties.
On the first day of his appointment, a colleague invited Qin Zhao out for dinner.
Qin Zhao wanted to refuse, but finally agreed. After all, he had to submit a certificate to the emperor.
In the elegant room of the No. 1 Scholar Building, a fat official held up a wine glass.
"Master Qin, we are all impressed by your achievements in Luzhou City." Other officials also echoed their admiration.
"Master Li, you are too modest. I am not as powerful as you say."
Qin Zhao didn't like this kind of empty gathering, but since the purpose was not achieved, he couldn't leave early.
The officials sitting next to Mr. Li also raised their wine glasses to greet Qin Zhao.
Everyone drank one cup at a time, trying to get Qin Zhao drunk.
Qin Zhao was not good at drinking, and he was already tipsy when being besieged by these people.
Everyone saw that the time was almost up and winked at each other. One of them walked to the door and said something to the waiter. Not long after, a girl came in.
She is dressed plainly and looks beautiful, with a graceful figure and charming eyes.
She slowly approached Qin Zhao, and the adult sitting next to Qin Zhao took the initiative to give up his seat for her.
Qin Zhao was a little surprised when he saw a woman suddenly appear in the banquet, "Who is this?"
Mr. Li: "Don't be offended, Mr. Qin. This is my sister. I made a secret promise to you when you were the number one scholar in the streets. It's a pity that you left too fast at that time. Today I heard that you were back in Beijing and you wanted me to do anything." Bring her here"
"Hello, Mr. Qin." The girl was good-looking, but her voice was thick and sticky.
Qin Zhao thought to himself that the lady was right. There were many dangers out there, women were like wolves and tigers, and colleagues were not necessarily all human beings.
Qin Zhao suppressed the nausea in his heart and moved away calmly, "Master Li, what is this?"
Lord Li smiled obscenely. He had long heard that Qin Zhao had no concubines except a child bride.
There is no cat in the world who doesn't steal fish, and men are the same.
He touched his round belly and looked at Qin Zhao with a smile.
"Master Qin, what do you think of my sister?"
Qin Zhao doesn't want to lose his virginity because of work.
Pretending to be drunk, she said: "It's so beautiful, like a fairy."
Qin Zhao picked up the wine glass and toasted to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li quickly raised his glass and responded, "Mr. Qin, if you like it, my sister will follow you."
Qin Zhao hurriedly waved his hands, "You can't use it, you can't use it. You don't know. The guy in my family is very tough. If I take him away, there will be no peace in our family."
Qin Zhao's expression was very depressed, as if he had taken another drink to drown his sorrows.
The girl looked at Qin Zhao lovingly, and slowly stretched her little hand to Qin Zhao's leg.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao didn't hold the cup firmly, and the glass of wine hit her hand hard, causing the back of her fair hand to become red and swollen instantly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, girl, Qin is drunk."
The girl endured the pain and did not dare to look at Qin Zhao or Mr. Li.
Mr. Li, "Hahaha, what's so difficult about this? There is a village in the south of my city. It will be used as a dowry for my sister. You place my sister there. You can go there whenever you want. Your wife will not find out. "
After listening to Mr. Li's suggestion, Qin Zhao's eyes lit up, "This can be done."
"What the hell, how can I bear to let my sister suffer from lovesickness, but..."
Mr. Li looked very embarrassed.
"Do you have any concerns, Mr. Li?" Qin Zhao asked eagerly.
"It's not a big deal. It's just my brother. In the local assessment, the official chapter is the only one missing."
Master Li was observing Qin Zhao's reaction as he spoke. Seeing that Qin Zhao remained silent, he secretly glanced at the girl.
The girl who received the mission had a sweet voice. "Master" said that she was going to sit in Qin Zhao's arms.
Qin Zhao pushed the girl away. Because the movement was a bit abrupt, everyone present was stunned and Qin Zhao was embarrassed.
"Don't worry, what's wrong with my brother? You can give me the assessment notes tomorrow."
When Mr. Li heard this, he said, "Hahaha, Mr. Qin is so happy. Why are you waiting for tomorrow? I will take it with me."
As he spoke, he took out a folder from his arms and handed it to Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao opened it and read it carefully and put it in his arms.
Seeing that Qin Zhao was so easy to talk to, the other adults expressed their wishes one after another. Some gave him a banknote, some gave him a farm shop, and without exception they all asked for a stamp on the assessment report.
"Little things, these are all little things."
Whether it's real estate, land deeds, banknotes, or beautiful women, Qin Zhao accepts them all without fear.
Before leaving, he also said to Master Li: "Send Miss Li to Zhuangzi without making any mistakes." As he said this, he staggered onto his carriage.
"I didn't expect Master Qin to be so easy to handle."
"After all, it's a remote country and has never seen the world. If you give me some sweets, you won't be able to find the north." Mr. Li smiled sarcastically.
Qin Zhao came back a little late today. Cao Xi was worried and asked Mu Mu to wait outside.
She didn't feel at ease until Mu Mu came in, supporting the drunken Qin Zhao.
She hurriedly took Qin Zhao from Mu Mu's hand, and the smell of alcohol and rouge penetrated her nose.
She asked Mu Mu to go out and tell Xing'er to prepare sobering soup and ask the kitchen to boil some hot water.
As soon as Mumu closed the door, Qin Zhao was pinched hard on the waist, "still pretending."
Qin Zhao, who originally wanted to stay in Cao Xi's arms, was forced to stand up straight, rubbing the place where he was pinched, "getting harder and harder."
"Tell me, I'm going to that chic place in the evening. Which girl will accompany me?" Cao Xi hugged his arms and waited for Qin Zhao's answer.
Qin Zhao's drunken eyes were dim and his handsome face was slightly red. "My colleagues are inviting me to drink. I didn't want to go, but I wanted to see what tricks they were playing." As he said this, he took out a bunch of banknotes and banknotes from his arms.
Qin Zhao introduced to Cao Xi with a proud look on his face, "Master Zhang's Zhuangzi, Master Wang's Banknotes, and Master Hu's Shop"
Cao Xi held up Mr. Li's folding book, "What did Mr. Li give you?"
Qin Zhao smiled and touched his nose, "Master Li gave me a beautiful woman."
Cao Xi looked at him sideways, "That beauty is so close."
Qin Zhao waved his hands in a panic, "No close, no close", fearing that Cao Xi wouldn't believe it, he even pulled his clothes to show Cao Xi.
Cao Xi was a little angry and funny when she saw him being so drunk and stupid. At this time, Xing'er knocked on the door and said that the bathtub had been put away.
"I don't smell like rouge. Are you lying?"
Cao Xi pinched Qin Zhao hard again before helping Qin Zhao go to the bathroom.
Qin Zhao grimaced in pain and did not dare to make a sound. He quietly rubbed the sore area with his hand.
The drunk Qin Zhao was particularly clingy, asking Cao Xi to give him a bath and get him dressed.
When he got to bed, he was reluctant again. When everything settled, Cao Xi fell asleep from exhaustion.
Qin Zhao hugged Cao Xi and stared at her sleeping face for a long time. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. He wanted to kiss her even more.
But before the second kiss, Cao Xi pushed her back, and Qin Zhao had no choice but to hug her tightly.
In the morning of the next day, Qin Zhao reported all the officials who had entertained him at the Zhuangyuan Building yesterday, and presented them to the emperor along with the evidence and documents.
Those adults never expected that Qin Zhao would do something like this, and their legs were so frightened that they could not stand up.
Several adults knelt on the ground and kept shouting for the emperor's forgiveness.
The emperor was so angry that his eyes were filled with tears. He never expected that they would move so quickly.
The angry emperor cursed loudly, and he asked Prince Xunmao to be responsible for investigating the matter, and conducted a thorough investigation from inside to outside.
After this incident, the people who wanted to win over Qin Zhao no longer dared to act easily. It was too scary.
After the morning court, Qi Qige quickly caught up with Qin Zhao, "You can give the emperor a big gift as soon as he takes office."
"Whoever makes them try to trick me, kill them as a warning to others." Qin Zhao's words were chilling.
Qi Qige looked around and whispered: "Those people are all members of the Third Prince. The Third Prince is notoriously difficult to offend and holds grudges."
Qin Zhao still walked forward without looking away, "He will stop this time."
Prince Xun Mao acted quickly. He followed the clues and within three months, he investigated all those who bribed officials, bought and sold officials.
In the end, the finger was pointed at the third prince.
The emperor was furious and stripped the three princes of all their rights, leaving only their names and confining them to their homes.
This is the end of the third prince's seizure of the throne.
