This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 50 Cultivating the Seeds of Traitors
It was night, a middle-aged man came outside Yunhai Mansion, looked up excitedly and stared at the plaque on the gate for a long while, then took a deep breath, and walked in expectantly.

In the side hall of Bibo Hall, Xia Ao was enjoying the massage given by Liu Zhijun and Shangguan Xuan, while squinting at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground below.

This man was short in stature, with a round face and a pair of small eyes that were shrewd and cunning. He looked like a scheming and cunning person.

His name is Lai Yongqing, and he is Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Officials' Examination Department.

Two years ago, the Sixth Prince deliberately rescued Lai Yongqing once because he was hostile to the Fifth Prince.

Since then, Lai Yongqing has been expressing his loyalty to the sixth prince in different ways, obviously wanting to climb up the ladder and regard the sixth prince as his backer.

But the sixth prince was cautious, considering Lai Yongqing's treacherous, greedy and smug temperament, he was worried that he would cause trouble for him, so he kept keeping a respectful distance and refused to accept him.

Of course, this is also related to Lai Yongqing's identity, after all, a little Yuanwailang can't be placed in his eyes.

But Xia Ao is different, he doesn't care about these things.

The reason why he sent people to pass on Lai Yongqing today is to give full play to Lai Yongqing's advantages and do one thing for him.

"Old Lai..."

Hearing Xia Ao's address, Lai Yongqing suddenly became excited, showing excitement.

Lai Lai, what a friendly title!
Could it be that His Highness the Sixth Prince has changed his mind and is ready to use himself?

"Yes, Your Highness, the officer is here!"

Seeing that Lai Yongqing was so excited that his face was still glowing red with excitement, Xia Ao couldn't help being speechless.

I'm afraid there is something wrong with this guy?As for this?

"Well, how have you been lately?"

Seeing Xia Ao greeting him in a friendly manner, Lai Yongqing couldn't help but get misty eyes with excitement, and he didn't know if he was really excited or just pretending.

"Wuuu, Your Highness, Your Majesty...Hello, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern..."

The corners of Xia Ao's eyes twitched, and Liu Zhiyun and Shangguan Xuan behind them also had strange expressions.

This person is too good at pretending, right?The point is, it still acted as if it was real, so that people couldn't see the flaws.

"That's good. Lao Lai, Gu wants you to do something for Gu."

Lai Yongqing's eyes widened immediately, full of surprise and a sense of unreal dream.

"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing Lai Yongqing stunned, Xia Ao frowned pretending to be displeased.

"Ah no, yes! I am willing!"

Lai Yongqing came back to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hands excitedly.

"Your Highness, my greatest wish in this life is to be able to support you. Now that I have the opportunity, why not?"

"Your Highness, I didn't say anything. From now on, this official will be your dog! Even if you ask him to go to the latrine to eat, he will never be ambiguous!"

Shangguan Xuan frowned, and a look of displeasure and disdain flashed in her eyes.

This person is too vulgar and disgusting...

Xia Ao didn't care, and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Okay, Gu appreciates your energy. This incident can be regarded as a test for you. If you do well, you will be lonely in the future."

"At that time, if anyone dares to bully you, even if you report the name of Gu, fight back!"

"Of course, if it's not done well..."

Lai Yongqing was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly patted his chest to promise.

"Your Highness, don't worry, if you don't do well, the next official will come to see you!"

Lai Yongqing is very clear that this time is definitely the best opportunity for him to stand up. If he can grasp it, the prospects are infinitely bright!

If something went wrong, he could only accept his fate.

In life, one has to take risks, right?

"it is good."

Xia Ao nodded in satisfaction and leaned forward.

"Listen up..."

……

The next day, Yunde Building.

In the Accord on the third floor, Xia Ao was sitting by the window facing the street, sipping hot tea while looking at the gate of the building diagonally opposite.

It was a building similar to a gate tower controlled by hundreds of soldiers, with high walls spreading on both sides, and inside the high walls there were also archery towers at intervals.

Look at the plaque on the top of the gate. There are three big characters "Xiu Nu Yuan" written on it.

Obviously, behind the high wall is Xiunu Garden, where 360 ​​Xiunu selected from all over the Great Xia are currently living there.

Those who can pass the first four rounds of selection and stand out from tens of thousands of people must at least meet the basic requirements such as poetry, etiquette and etiquette.

At a certain moment, when a civil official and a general walked out of the gate together, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help showing a strange look.

"It seems that this Lai Yongqing is really capable..."

Xia Ao smiled, but did not speak.

On the street, Lai Yongqing immediately greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.

Seeing Lai Yongqing, the faces of the two of them were a little ugly, and even faintly revealing a bit of anger, they were a little gnashing their teeth, and they didn't know how Lai Yongqing provoked them.

"Interesting, looking at it this way, Lai Yongqing probably used some kind of indecent means to force them to submit."

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's analysis, Xia Ao smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter the means, as long as he can get things done for Gu, even if he kidnaps the families of those two guys and threatens them, Gu doesn't care."

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Xia Ao, then at Lai Yongqing, a look of sympathy flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Lai Yongqing was just a puppet specially hired by His Highness to do dishonorable things.

It's fine if nothing happens, but once something happens, let alone others, His Highness will never be soft on the side...

Perhaps, Lai Yongqing is also aware of this point, so he will work harder, strive to be the best, and do not leave any hidden dangers, so as to last for a long time...

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, Zhou Ying got out of the way, and when three figures walked in, Fu closed the door again.

"Meet Your Highness Sixth!"

Lai Yongqing and the other three saluted respectfully. Among them, Lai Yongqing looked excited, while the other two had complicated expressions.

Xia Ao didn't care about the expressions of the three of them, and just hummed lightly.

Lai Yongqing had good eyesight, seeing that Xia Ao had no intention of saying anything, he hurriedly stabbed the arm of the civil servant from the Ministry of Rites.

The civil servant gritted his teeth, and hesitantly pulled out a booklet from his pocket.

Lai Yongqing was a little impatient, and after grabbing it, he handed it to Xia Ao respectfully.

"Your Highness, this is the roster of 360 beautiful women, with brief information and portraits on it."

Shangguan Wan'er took it and waved her hand, Lai Yongqing hurriedly bowed his head back.

Afterwards, Shangguan Wan'er opened the album of famous paintings, flipping page by page, for Xia Ao to look at.

Regarding Xia Ao's preference for beauties, Shangguan Wan'er had no idea, she was also very clear about her identity, and never said anything nonsense.

Just like that, as Shangguan Wan'er turned it lightly, there was only the rustling sound of paper turning in the Accord for a while.

During this period, Xia Ao would nod his head slightly from time to time, and Shangguan Wan'er would draw a circle on the corresponding name with great interest.

When most of the roster had been turned over, Xia Aohu's eyes froze, and Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flickered slightly, with a look of surprise in her eyes...
