I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 54: Is Your Majesty Crazy? (Seeking to Catch Up)

Jin'an, the capital of the Qi Kingdom.

The struggle for the crown prince is about to come to an end. Chen, the elder who supports the third prince, has retired and obtained the permission of the Qi Emperor.

Chen's retirement, as he is about to leave the capital, is not easy in the fierce struggle for the crown prince. It is closely related to his esteemed status as an elder of two dynasties.

As for Guo Rongshan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who is considered one of the confidants of the third prince, his final outcome has yet to be determined. The best case scenario is being dismissed from office.

In more serious cases, exile or even execution of the entire family may occur.

The court already knows that the first prince's faction is taking action in East River County. The final outcome will determine whether Guo Rongshan's son-in-law, Xu Yan, will be charged with colluding with the Tianmu Sect and imprisoned, or if another charge will be brought against him.

In the imperial palace, in the study room.

The Qi Emperor looked at the secret order from East River County, his hands trembling and his lips quivering.

As the supreme ruler, the emperor who stands high above, he felt fear for the first time.

One person sweeping through ten thousand troops!

Is this something a flesh and blood person can achieve?

But the secret order cannot be fake!

Guo Rongshan's grandson, Xu Yan, single-handedly swept through ten thousand soldiers of the Divine Might Army, not only without any injuries, but also with ease.

And during the battle, he even had spare energy and did not massacre all the soldiers of the Divine Might Army.

"Guo Rongshan's grandson, isn't he supposed to be mentally incompetent? The whole court is spreading rumors that he is mentally incompetent," the Qi Emperor trembled all over, his face turning pale with anger.

A mentally incompetent person actually cultivated an incredibly powerful Martial Dao?

Who is really mentally incompetent?

The legends in the books, they are actually true!

There really are extraordinary hidden experts in the world, and there really is an incredibly powerful Martial Dao!

"Guo Rongshan must die! Execution, execution of the entire family! Arrest Guo Rongshan's entire family and bury them with our Qi Kingdom!" The Qi Emperor's eyes flashed with a fierce look.

Since the Qi Kingdom is going to perish, before the other party reaches the capital, he will kill Guo Rongshan's entire family and bury them together with the Qi Kingdom.

"No!" Just as he was about to order the execution of Guo Rongshan's entire family, the Qi Emperor suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

He picked up the secret order again and carefully read it.

"Xu Junhe did not rebel, he only defeated the Divine Might Army, and he did not kill Jiang Pingshan, nor did he let the Tianmu Sect occupy the government office..."

In that instant, the Qi Emperor understood.

Whether the Xu family rebels or not depends on his attitude, depends on how he treats Guo Rongshan's family!

If Guo Rongshan dies, the Qi royal family will be wiped out!

But if Guo Rongshan remains a minister of the Qi Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom will still exist!

The Qi Emperor took a few deep breaths, his expression extremely solemn. This decision concerns the survival or destruction of the Qi Kingdom, and he cannot afford to be careless.

"Summon the third prince into the palace, summon Minister Guo Rongshan into the palace, and order the preparation of a formal ceremony for the third prince to apprentice to Minister Guo..." The Qi Emperor ordered with a dignified expression.

Everything must be handled properly before the news from East River County reaches the capital.

The chief eunuch bowed and left, personally supervising the matter.

The third prince received the decree and hurried into the palace, while Guo Rongshan, upon receiving the decree, was somewhat surprised. What was the meaning of the Qi Emperor's urgent summons?

Could it be that his Guo family will be able to land safely in this struggle for the crown prince?

He hurried to the imperial palace.

However, when he arrived at the imperial palace, the Qi Emperor did not summon him in the study room, but in the ancestral temple!

Guo Rongshan was a little confused. Isn't the ancestral temple a place for subjects to visit?

Led by the eunuch, he arrived at the ancestral temple.

As soon as he entered the ancestral temple, he saw the third prince, and the arrangement in the ancestral temple seemed a bit unusual!

"Your Majesty..." Guo Rongshan was about to pay his respects, but the Qi Emperor, with a smile on his face, personally supported him and said, "Minister Guo, there's no need for so much courtesy. Come, have a seat!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Guo Rongshan was shocked. This was the prince, how could he be apprenticed like this?

Emperor Qi Huang didn't give him a chance to speak and sat on the throne, pressing his hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and glared at the third prince, angrily rebuking, "What are you standing there for? Don't you kneel and kowtow three times and nine times to pay respects to your mentor?"

"Father..."

The third prince looked confused, what was going on?

Seeing Emperor Qi Huang's stern gaze, he trembled in fear and quickly knelt down, kowtowing three times and nine times, offering tea, "Disciple pays respects to the mentor!"

Guo Rongshan was completely confused.

His mind was muddled, and he felt completely dumbfounded.

What was Emperor Qi Huang trying to do?

"Guo Aiqing, drink the tea quickly!"

Emperor Qi Huang urged.

Guo Rongshan took the tea and took a sip, remaining in a state of confusion throughout.

"Third son, you must remember, a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. From now on, when you see Guo Aiqing, you must respect him as you would your father!"

"Every day, you must go and pay respects to Guo Aiqing, but if there is any disrespect, it will be severely punished!"

Emperor Qi Huang's tone became extremely severe as he spoke.

The third prince trembled, his face turning pale, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Father!"

His mind was a mess, and he felt that the Emperor might have gone mad, otherwise how could he do such a thing?

"Now go!"

Emperor Qi Huang glared at him, and the third prince hurriedly took his leave.

"Guo Aiqing, come, come, come, there are important matters of the court that I need to trouble Guo Aiqing with. With someone like Guo Aiqing, I am reassured!"

Emperor Qi Huang held Guo Rongshan's hand and strolled through the palace garden.

As if they were old friends, chatting about daily life, occasionally mentioning his grandson Xu Yan, and praising Guo Rongshan for his dedication to the court.

Among all the civil and military officials, only Guo Aiqing was truly loyal and patriotic!

Guo Rongshan's mind was filled with confusion, even suspecting that he was dreaming!

After walking around the royal garden, Emperor Qi Huang led Guo Rongshan back to the ancestral temple, where he pulled him to bow to heaven and earth, wanting to become sworn brothers of different surnames!

Guo Rongshan's face turned pale, trembling all over, almost fainting.

In his mind, there was only one thought: "Has Your Majesty gone mad?"

Thump, thump, thump!

Kowtow, blood oath, become sworn brothers!

After going through the whole process, Guo Rongshan felt completely drained, both physically and mentally.

And Emperor Qi Huang felt slightly relieved.

His idea was simple, his grandfather and Guo Rongshan were sworn brothers, so Xu Yan was also like a half-elder to him. He should be more lenient, right?

After the ceremony, he pulled Guo Rongshan to send him back to his residence. On the way, they encountered one of Emperor Qi Huang's favored concubines, who came gracefully.

Guo Rongshan's mind was still muddled, and he was in a state of confusion. He instinctively looked up and even took a few more glances.

This was a great disrespect, but at this moment, his mind was completely muddled, and he didn't realize it.

When Emperor Qi Huang saw this, he immediately asked with delight, "Brother Guo, what do you think of Concubine Yun?"

"Concubine Yun is beautiful and virtuous, naturally..."

Guo Rongshan was taken aback, and he was shocked. Why did I start evaluating His Majesty's favored concubine?

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

As a result, he heard Emperor Qi Huang's surprised voice saying, "Since Brother Guo likes her, bring Concubine Yun to Guo Aiqing's residence!"

What?!

Guo Rongshan was shocked and hurriedly said, "I can't, I can't, Your Majesty!"

In a panic, his mind raced, and he quickly added, "My wife is fierce, I'm afraid..."

"Since that's the case, then forget it!"

Emperor Qi Huang's face showed a regretful expression.

Guo Rongshan's wife was Xu Yan's grandmother, right?

If he angered her, wouldn't he be inviting trouble?

On the other side, Concubine Yun had already fainted in fear...

Guo Rongshan returned home in a daze, his mind filled with confusion. The trip to the palace felt like a bizarre dream!

"Father, why did His Majesty summon you?"

Guo Yun opened his mouth anxiously and worriedly as soon as he entered the study with his father.

His father came back from the palace, and something was clearly wrong with him!

Guo Rongshan looked up and after a long pause, he blurted out, "His Majesty seems to have a mental illness, his mind is somewhat deranged!"

Guo Yun: ???
