Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 853 Qin Yan, You Have Kindness
"Qin Yan, Qin Yan!"

In the middle of the night, Hong Zhenji walked out of the bedroom.

Hong Huayun's rebellion incident has just ended, and in Hong Zhenji's view, it is a farce.

He never expected that an even bigger farce was staged on him.

Qin Yan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by her subordinates, and went to the bedroom with sleepy eyes.

When Hong Zhenji saw Qin Yan, he wanted to roar, but hesitated for a moment, then pulled him into the bedroom, pointed to the crying woman on the couch, and said, "Where does this woman come from?"

Qin Yanping backed away from no one else, and turned to Hong Zhenji and said, "Didn't you tell the emperor about her origin beforehand?"

"Nonsense!" Hong Zhenji said angrily, "You said this person is a singer, this person is clearly the emperor's brother's Shuyi, she said it herself just now."

Qin Yan looked at the woman and couldn't help sighing.

He knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, but he didn't expect that at this moment, a good night of clear dreams turned into nothing.

Qin Yan ordered someone to take Shuyi away, and directly told Hong Zhenji the truth.

Since his ascension to the throne, all the women who have served him in the palace are all the palace servants of the late emperor.

Hong Zhenji turned pale with astonishment, this is simply unimaginable in the Qiancheng Kingdom that follows the ancient rituals.

"My reputation, my reputation is all ruined by you!" Hong Zhenji picked up the porcelain bottle and threw it at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan stepped aside, and said calmly, "Shenjun, don't worry, this is the late emperor's wish, as evidenced by the edict."

"What did the late emperor wish for?" Hong Zhenji looked at Qin Yan with absent-minded eyes.

"All the people in the late emperor's palace are reserved for the gods. This is what the late emperor wanted."

Is there anything more absurd?
Brother Huang left all the women to me?

How could the emperor leave such a ridiculous will?
Qin Yan really took out the will.

It was clearly written on the edict that Hong Juncheng did not want the palace people to follow the ancient rituals and be buried with him, and clearly left all the palace people to the prince.

Holding the edict, Hong Zhenji looked at Qin Yan with bloodshot eyes: "Why didn't you tell me this edict earlier? Why didn't you tell me the truth?"

Qin Yan sighed: "It's cold in the long night, the old slave can't bear to have no one to serve the god, and he wants to do things according to the order, but he is afraid that the god will not accept him."

Of course Hong Zhenji would not accept it.

Regardless of whether this edict is true or not, Hong Zhenji cannot accept Hong Zhencheng's woman, which seriously violates the basic cognition of Qiancheng Kingdom.

"This is the crime of bullying the emperor, you should be executed by Ling Chi!" Hong Zhenji shouted, "Left and right, send Qin Yan to the death row!"

He shouted, but there was no response around him.

Hong Zhenji shouted again: "Send Qin Yan to death row!"

There is still no one around.

When Qin Yan entered the door, she screened away irrelevant people.

Regardless of whether the servants or the palace servants, upon hearing Qin Yan's order, they all left very simply without raising their heads.

Now Hong Zhenji called for a long time, but no one responded.

Hong Zhenji realized something.

He looked at Qin Yan again, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Qin Yan said with a blank expression: "According to the late emperor's edict, it is reasonable for the emperor to accept his palace servants and save them from being buried. It is also out of benevolence.

Today, the old slave publicized the late emperor's edict to the officials, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from speaking nonsense. "

"No!" Hong Zhenji trembled again and again, if this matter was made public, his reputation would be completely ruined.

"If you dare to speak out about this matter, I will make you..." Hong Zhenji fell silent again after speaking halfway.

What can he do to Qin Yan?
Qin Yan is right in front of him, what can he do now?
After hesitating again and again, Hong Zhenji softened his tone: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Qin Yan nodded: "Old slave complies with the order, Your Majesty should rest earlier."

After speaking, Qin Yan left the bedroom.

Hong Zhenji sat on the couch, clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.

……

Qin Yan returned to the Supervisor of Rituals, slept in the cage, and slept until noon.

At noon, Qin Yan wanted to go back to sleep after lunch, but saw that Liu Yupeng begged to see him.

Everyone knows that Liu Yupeng, the inspector, took Hong Huayun away from the palace. Hong Juncheng originally wanted to tear him into pieces, but this idea failed to materialize.

After Hong Juncheng passed away, Liu Yupeng returned to the palace safely.

Just now Liu Yupeng was called by Hong Zhenji and asked him to go to the Shu Palace and invite a friend named Chai Shoujie in.

Liu Yupeng said: "I seem to have heard of the name Chai Shoujie somewhere. I'm not sure what Shenjun intends, so I came to discuss it with you."

Qin Yan thought for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Chai Shoujie, originally a swordsman in Shenlin City, with a sixth-rank cultivation of the Dao of Killing, has a great reputation in the market,
When Shenjun was still the king of Shu, he was recruited as a retainer, and now he is allowed to enter the palace. Shenjun is trying to kill someone. "

Liu Yupeng asked in amazement, "Who does the god want to kill?"

Qin Yan smiled: "Brother Liu, just take a guess!"

"Could it be..." Liu Yupeng looked at Qin Yan, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Thanks for telling you first, this person cannot enter the palace no matter what."

Qin Yan shook her head and said: "Since the emperor has ordered, if you don't agree, you are resisting the order, call Chai Shoujie, the emperor is also bored, and let the old man accompany him to catch up on the old days!"

After Liu Yupeng left, Qin Yan sighed secretly.

No wonder Yun Hou said that Hong Zhenji is a mediocre person, and seeing him do this, he knows that his mind is not good.

He wanted to kill me, but asked Liu Yupeng to find someone. He thought Liu Yupeng would be loyal to him?
……

In the afternoon, Chai Shoujie entered the palace.

Ordinary swordplay, full of quack spirit.

Chai Shoujie was a special case, he was very familiar with etiquette, he was very polite to his servants, and even brought a special gift for Qin Yan.

When they arrived at Yuxian Pavilion, the main hall of Shensi, Hong Zhenji stepped back and asked about the situation outside Chai Shoujie's palace.

Chai Shoujie talked about the removal of land tax, the establishment of a civil city, and the rebuilding of the Shenji Division one by one, and Hong Zhenji was so angry that his veins burst out.

"Qin Yan, a thief, in my name, actually did such insane and inhuman acts! Even if this thief is hacked into pieces, it will not satisfy my hatred!"

Chai Shoujie knelt down and kowtowed: "I am willing to listen to the gods."

Hong Zhenji ordered Chai Shoujie to kill Qin Yan tonight.

But he asked Hong Zhenji why he didn't call Cong Ming?

One is because Cong Ming has always been thinking about the superintendent, and being Hong Zhenji's general is really helpless, and there has always been a gap between him and Hong Zhenji. Now that Hong Zhenji is a god, he doesn't trust Cong Ming enough.

The second is because Cong Ming's reputation is too great and his cultivation base is too high, entering the palace will inevitably arouse Qin Yan's suspicion.

Besides, it was just killing a servant. From Hong Zhenji's point of view, there was no need for Cong Ming to do this.

Chai Shoujie was an experienced swordsman. He had a general understanding of the layout of the imperial palace and Qin Yan's work and rest habits from Hong Zhenji. He kowtowed immediately and said, "At midnight tonight, I will present this person's head to the god."

"You are brave!" Hong Zhenji exclaimed, "After the matter is completed, I will make you the general of the town!"

At nightfall, Chai Shoujie pretended to be a servant and left Yuxian Pavilion.

Hong Zhenji was restless, waiting in Yuxian Pavilion.

When the son was about to arrive, Li Quangen came to report: "An assassin has entered the palace, please move it away."

assassin?

It seemed that Chai Shoujie had made a move.

Hong Zhenji smiled lightly: "I'm not going anywhere, you guys will bring that assassin to see me later."

Li Quangen didn't say much, and then withdrew.

Hong Zhenji picked up his teacup and waited quietly for Chai Shoujie's reply.

Not long after, Qin Yan brought Chai Shoujie over.

brought his head on a tray.

Chai Shoujie's eyes were wide open, and he could see that he was terrified before he died. He could never have imagined that the handprint of this supervisor of rituals was a master of the fourth rank.

Hong Zhenji looked at Qin Yan, his cheeks twitched.

Now there was no anger in his heart, only fear.

Qin Yan said with a smile: "The assassin has been eradicated, please move the god to the bedroom and rest earlier."

Hong Zhenji nodded dumbly and didn't say much.

Qin Yan said again: "Tonight, which palace servant is sleeping?"

Hong Zhenji said with a blank expression: "It's better to have that Shuyi from last night."

This is the advantage of Hong Zhenji.

If you know you can't do it, don't embarrass yourself anymore.

He is now very aware of his situation.

Chai Shoujie had also done assassination before, and he was one of the best assassins in the Shu Palace.

Now that he died for no apparent reason, who else could Hong Zhenji rely on?Send more assassins?Call Cong Ming together?Put all the original property of Prince Shu's mansion, and fight Qin Yan to the death?
Not to mention whether Cong Ming was willing to come, even if he came, would he be able to kill Qin Yan?
Hong Zhenji had no idea how much strength Qin Yan had.

Now that Qin Yan was prepared, it would be very difficult for Cong Ming to enter the palace.

And once Qin Yan turned his back on him, would he be able to save his life?

To be honest, Qin Yan lied to me, but she didn't make me suffer, didn't make me embarrassed, and didn't even make me suffer.

Qin Yan did her best to deal with the civil uprising in Jizhou and Hong Huayun's rebellion, but she also shared a lot of worries for me.

When encountering major events, Qin Yan also discussed with me, and he also obeyed some of my wishes.

As for the minutiae and the like, it's okay to leave it to him.

Just like the establishment of a civil market, if the civil market is developed, the taxation of the Ministry of Households may not be less. After calculating each one, who can tell the right from the wrong?

The situation is already like this, why not save yourself a face?

With rich clothes and fine food, and tens of thousands of beauties in the harem, what's the harm in being a happy god?

Hong Zhenji figured it out, but unfortunately, this happy god didn't do it for a long time. The spies placed in Tunu sent news that Emperor Tunu was gathering an army and was preparing to declare war with Qiancheng.

After receiving the letter of war, Hong Zhenji was so frightened that the beauty in his arms was not fragrant at that time.

He expelled all irrelevant people from the dormitory, and asked Qin Yan, "Did you offend Tunu by making claims?"

Qin Yan shook her head and said, "The old slave is just conveying the will of the gods, so that the states and counties treat Tu Nu as ordinary people, and there is no offense other than that."

"They are used to being superior, and if you treat them as ordinary people, you are offending them!"

Hong Zhenji finally seized an excuse, and was about to reprimand Qin Yan, but Qin Yan was not convinced: "Shenjun, why should Tunu be the best person in the land of Qiancheng? How can Qiancheng people have no spine? "

Hong Zhenji said angrily: "Since you have a backbone, why do you want me? You have the ability, the means, and the guts!"

Qin Yan's cheek twitched.

Regarding this matter, Hong Zhenji also felt that what he said was too serious.

After being silent for a while, Qin Yan said: "For the current plan, we should think about the strategy to meet the enemy."

Hong Zhenji flicked his robe sleeves and shouted: "What are you going to use to meet the enemy? Qiancheng and Tunu have fought many times, but they have never won."

"Shenjun, Princess Yuyao is still in Shenlin City, and she will make plans to form an alliance with Xuanguo that morning."

Hong Zhenji squeezed his chin, showing a sad face.

He hadn't seen Xu Zhiqiong since he ascended the throne, and he completely forgot about it.
