The dancers' eyes flickered with enchantment, sometimes looking towards the main seat of the hall, sometimes looking away, as if they were appealing for something.
At the main seat, a middle-aged man with handsome appearance and noble temperament was leaning on the chair and staring at the group of dancers unscrupulously, as if these women were in the palm of his hand.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised to evoke a charming smile, which made those women excited and danced their delicate bodies even wider, as if they wanted to show off their enchanting figures to their fullest.
At this time, a middle-aged woman twisted her slender waist, walked around the dancer and walked straight to the man.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."
Anyang King Qin Hongzhi's eyes flashed, he yawned lazily, and said in a frivolous tone: "Bring him in."
"No." The middle-aged woman turned around and left with a calm expression.
Qin Hongzhi didn't squint his eyes, still admiring the beautiful dance in the hall with relish.
After a moment, Lang Guan Li Yan walked in. Looking at the scene in the palace, his eyes suddenly froze. He quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to King Anyang."
"Everyone, please get out." Qin Hongzhi waved to the dancers.
"promise."
The dancers stopped twisting their delicate bodies, bowed and bowed, and then filed out.
"Why did the emperor send you here?" Qin Hongzhi still leaned on the chair, acting frivolously and not caring about the prince's courtesy.
"Return to your Majesty, your Majesty summons you."
Li Yan still bowed his body and lowered his head to answer.
A flash of surprise flashed in Qin Hongzhi's eyes. He didn't expect that his royal brother would summon him.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded slightly: "I know, I will enter the palace now."
"No." After hearing this, Li Yan knew that King Anyang was not going with him, so he bowed out without saying anything.
Looking at his disappearing figure, Qin Hongzhi had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Riding Wang Qinggai's carriage to the palace, Qin Hongzhi walked to Qinfang Palace.
At this time, his face completely lost the look of wantonness just now, only a look of respect remained.
"Brother, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Emperor Qin's face was stern and he didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly.
After a long time, Qin Huang's calm voice slowly sounded.
"A few days ago, Zong Zheng said that you competed with others for the oiran in Yixiang Tower, and it undermined the dignity of the royal family in public. Is this true?"
Qin Hongzhi's body trembled, and he quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and replied in a trembling voice: "I know I was wrong."
"This kind of thing has happened to you many times over the years. Do you think that the dignity of the royal family and my face can be lost at will?" Emperor Qin's tone became colder.
When Qin Hongzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this, his body really trembled, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
"Chen...my brother doesn't dare."
"Huh." Emperor Qin's face was cold, but looking at Qin Hongzhi's appearance, a trace of satisfaction quietly flashed in his eyes.
"Get up."
"Thank you... thank you, Brother Huang." Qin Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with relief.
He lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at Emperor Qin on the dragon throne.
"In these years, you have been sitting in the palace all day doing nothing, being licentious and immoral. If I hadn't thought that you were my imperial brother..." Emperor Qin didn't say the next words.
However, there was a hint of fear in Qin Hongzhi's eyes, as if he had recalled some fearful scene in his mind.
"My brother, I know I was wrong." He quickly admitted his mistake, fearing that Emperor Qin would say the following.
"Well, I happen to have something to do, so I'll leave it to you to handle it, so that you don't have to act recklessly all day long. As a descendant of the royal family, you should also contribute to the great Qin Dynasty." Emperor Qin sighed in a low voice, hating He said in an iron tone.
"Yes." Qin Hongzhi didn't dare to say more and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Great Qin is going to dig a canal. Do you know about this?" Seeing him like this, Emperor Qin nodded with satisfaction and asked.
Qin Hongzhi's eyes flashed vaguely, shook his head, and replied cautiously: "I don't know, brother."
"Huh." Emperor Qin looked unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He explained: "Many areas in the Qin Dynasty have suffered from drought for many years, and the people are in dire straits and have no food to eat. Therefore, I have to dig a river from the Yu River to divert water to solve the problem. Drought problem.”
"Brother Emperor, Holy Ming, this move is a policy that will benefit the country and will benefit all generations. It is comparable to the founding of the country." Qin Hongzhi's face showed shock, and his eyes showed admiration.
"Well, Emperor Qin nodded slightly, and the expression on his face softened. It seemed that these words were very useful to him.
"So this matter is urgent, but according to the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty, it is somewhat stretched, so I plan to erect an eternal monument. Anyone who donates tribute can be engraved on the monument and passed down through the ages."
"I plan to leave this matter to you, and I plan to use bidding to get those noble families and merchants to donate tribute."
Next, he described Qin Heng's words exactly.
Hearing these words, Qin Hongzhi wanted to scold his mother. He really wanted to know which evil minister came up with this idea.
This is putting him on the fire. Let’s not talk about the noble families and merchants, just talking about the imperial brother. If he doesn’t do well, he will definitely be dissatisfied with him. If he does well, he will be wary of him. .
Emperor Qin seemed to see what he was thinking, looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, and said calmly: "I hope you do well in this matter. The better you do, the more satisfied I will be. Do you understand?"
Qin Hongzhi smiled bitterly in his heart, he could only smile on his face, and said helplessly: "My brother understands."
"Well, I believe you won't disappoint me. I will send someone to deliver those calligraphy and paintings to your house in a few days. You should prepare well first."
As he said this, Emperor Qin was worried in his heart. It would take a lot of time to do so many calligraphy and paintings.
"No." Qin Hongzhi bowed and responded.
"Well, I'm fine, let's go down."
Emperor Qin waved his hand distractedly.
"Brother, please retire." Qin Hongzhi naturally didn't know what Emperor Qin was thinking, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out.
When he came outside the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the submissive look on his face quietly disappeared.
Great Qin established the Eternal Monument, and news of the opening of the canal spread like wildfire throughout Qin. Aristocratic families and merchant families also received invitations to donate tribute.
The second prince Qin Su also left the capital of Qin in high spirits, and went to inspect various counties with his clan attendants and many guards.
The prince has been staying in the East Palace, thanking guests behind closed doors, and does not seem to be worried about the current situation at all.
With the order of Emperor Qin, all counties also started excavation, and Prime Minister Li Yi was in charge of the overall affairs in Qindu.
However, Qin Heng disrupted all plans because of a letter from Ruyang County.
In the study, Qin Heng looked at the letter in his hand with a complicated expression.
The look in his eyes was sometimes surprise, sometimes confusion, and sometimes excitement.
