The next day was a beautiful sunny day with crisp autumn air.
Qi Yu went to the office on time and as usual.
I thought today would be a day of doing nothing, but as soon as I sat down, I saw Sandoku running over anxiously.
What's going on?
Was announced to the palace!
drink! Strange!
Why did the emperor suddenly think of himself?
Could it be that it’s another reminder?
San Dezi shook his head: It doesn't seem like it, the emperor doesn't have much time recently.
Then...or should we say that the emperor will be held accountable for the dark horse that died suddenly?
San Dezi waved his hand: What kind of person is Your Majesty? How can one care about an animal?
That's right, the emperor is much stronger than the beast.
This is not the case, and that is not the case. Why is it declared?
After all, I still feel uneasy!
Seeing Qi Yu's cautious expression, San Dezi had no choice but to reassure him: Your Majesty rarely gets angry recently, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Oh, that’s a bit low.
…
In the Imperial Palace, Qin'an Hall.
But I saw sandalwood lingering everywhere, fragrant, elegant and quiet.
At this time, the emperor was squinting his eyes, smiling lightly as if intoxicated, and seemed to be thinking about something. To outsiders, it looked like he was taking a nap.
As soon as he stepped across the threshold, San Dezi hurriedly shushed, indicating not to make any noise.
oh,
Qi Yu walked into the palace quietly, and then stood aside politely, waiting for the emperor to wake up.
The time to drink tea has passed, but there is still no change.
Still very quiet.
In fact, the emperor was not asleep, but was observing him secretly through the slit left by his eyelids.
Well, this kid was breathing steadily and looked as normal, and he was considered a calm person.
Is the emperor 'looking'?
Yes!
Any emperor will be very cautious when using young people, because they are young and energetic, and if they get angry, they will cause big troubles.
So, do these so-called young people have any boundaries?
some!
What?
--beard!
This is also a general visual standard.
According to tradition, men grow beards when they are thirty. In other words, beards are an impression of young people.
Generally speaking, those who are entrusted with big tasks are almost all old men with long beards. It cannot be said that there are no freshmen, and they are extremely rare.
Yes, as the common people say, if you have a weak mouth, you will not be able to do things well. This simple truth is universal, and the same is true for emperors.
Another moment passed, and Qi Yu actually yawned.
Um?
Some people dare to feel sleepy in front of me!
good!
After a while, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, pretended to wake up and said, "Oh...it turns out that Qi Aiqing has arrived. Stop standing there. Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, Qi Yu sat down calmly, leaning forward. In fact, he was still a little uneasy.
Because he had noticed that the emperor was secretly observing him.
The feeling was very uncomfortable, like being stared at by a beast.
Naturally, the yawning was also fake, just to stimulate the emperor.
Qi Yu concealed his uneasiness, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when you call me here?"
The emperor chuckled and actually answered the question by talking about a past incident: "I remember that at this year's Zhengdan meeting, all the ministers remained silent about my three-nothing policy. Only Aiqing clapped and applauded. It can be seen from this that , Ai Qing is my close friend."
Bosom friend?
Oh, this hat is a bit too high!
You can be anyone's confidant, but you can't be the emperor's, because the more you know, the faster you will die.
It’s really unbearable!
So, Qi Yu hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary. At that time, I was just impressed by your majesty's talent and strategy, and could not suppress the excitement in my heart before praising him. Your majesty has a far-reaching vision and is extremely heroic. How can you be like Wei Chen?" What ordinary people can understand? So, I don’t deserve the word bosom friend."
Well, I think quickly and respond appropriately, not bad.
The important thing is not to get carried away by my praise.
The emperor did not go further on this, but mentioned the excerpts from his previous self-defense: "...it is said in the self-defense of my beloved, that you have worked hard to improve the war horses of our dynasty, and you have been sleeping without thinking. This shows your sincerity and sincerity."
Qi Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. It is the duty of a humble official to share your Majesty's worries by eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "So, Aiqing really wants to share my worries?"
Look at this question~~
Dare I say no?
Faced with the multiple-choice question, Qi Yu could only say: "The emperor is worried, and the minister is humiliated! If your Majesty has something to do, just give him your orders, and I will do my best to do it."
Um!
What I want is your words!
The emperor thought for a while, then suddenly became tempted, and said: "There is indeed something important, but it is special and has a certain degree of danger, so I don't force you to do it. So, I’ll talk about it first, and you’ll think about it before making a decision before it’s too late. Whether you refuse or accept, I won’t force you.”
"yes!"
However, as soon as he heard the word "danger", Qi Yu immediately became vigilant.
You can never be brave in something like this!
You must do what you can!
Well, let’s listen first and then talk!
The emperor saw his cautious look, but was not angry. He said to himself: "Actually, this is not a big deal..."
Although the emperor said it calmly, the matter was not simple at all. When Qi Yu suddenly heard it, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Yes, this is a very confidential matter!
Let’s talk about things first.
According to the factory guard's secret report, it is said that Harry and his party opened a religious altar in the Taishan area of Shandong Prefecture and successfully converted a large number of emperor-worshiping believers, inspiring them to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. The effect is indeed good. This move greatly undermined the foundation of the Emperor Worship Sect.
At this juncture, a character who had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared.
Who is this?
She is the former Princess of Yongchuan, or Princess Shichuan.
There were rumors before that after the fire in Prince Sichuan Mansion, Princess Sichuan escaped from the secret passage and went to Shandong Mansion to seek asylum from Prince Yan. After that, there was no news about her.
Unexpectedly, two years later, she would suddenly appear again...
Let’s continue talking about what happened.
Princess Chuan took action. She led and commanded more than a hundred warriors and successfully sneaked into Harry's Catholic Church in disguise. However, she was repelled by the secret guards arranged by the emperor in advance.
In this small contest, the emperor won!
After the plan failed, Princess Chuan did not return directly to Le'an. Instead, she led the rest of her troops to Ningyang County in Shandong Prefecture, and then hid there. It is still unknown what her purpose was.
Later, the secret guard sent another secret message: The current Princess Sichuan seems to be in contact with an unknown force, and the specific situation is not yet known.
In other words, there is an urgent need for a capable person to go there and investigate the specific motives of Princess Chuan, especially the true face of that unknown force.
Yes, the emperor wants to know who is behind this again!
So, who is going to do this?
Qi Yu was startled: You must know me, right?
hehe……
Isn't it obvious that this is a lice on a bald man's head?
Who would it be if it weren't you?
The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, I have explained it. Are you willing to go? Just now, I have explained it that you can refuse. I will never blame you for this."
This kind of consultation-like approach is very un-imperial, but it is indeed done today.
In fact, the emperor just wanted to see if he had the courage!
If there is, you can use it with confidence in the future; if not, then stay in Xingtaipu Temple for retirement and write yours with peace of mind!
Let’s do a little analysis first.
As far as the current situation in Qilu is concerned, it is still complicated and severe, that is, going to that area for business is extremely risky.
You know, until now, King Yan has not made any move. Who can guess what will happen in the future?
The emperor originally thought that Qi Yu would push it forward and use various excuses to shirk the situation, but unexpectedly, he agreed without hesitation.
"Wei Chen is willing to go!"
"You are really not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Qi Yu answered quickly and simply, with a rather fearless attitude.
The emperor couldn't help but be startled and thought to himself: Look at this, this guy really has the character of a loyal minister!
