Book with Emperor

Chapter 202 Promise
"Ridiculous! Doesn't the emperor's teacher have any selfish intentions?"

Master Zhou stood up angrily, "Cao Yuan's son disregarded the king's law and acted out of conscience. Could it be because of his father's protection?"

"My lord Xie and General Ling Yun are not afraid of power and defend the people. How can they be said to be partisans? Your Majesty, according to your official opinion, the real partisan... I am afraid there is someone else!"

Master Zhou glared at Qin Guanyue, flung his sleeves and snorted coldly, his words were undisguised, and the needle pointed at the wheat awn.

Qin Guanyue's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled lightly, "Lord Zhou calm down, I did not say that the case of Cao Ping is over, it's just that Xie Heng and General Ling Yun have unclear positions, and I'm afraid they are not suitable to take over the case."

What she said was too straightforward, Ning Zhao frowned at her as a warning, Qin Guanyue nodded slightly, and explained, "I made a mistake, but I have no intention of distrusting these two pillars. It is because I think these two adults are reliable that I ask His Majesty for help."

"The appointment of the Baigong Order is imminent. This matter concerns the foundation of the country and cannot be underestimated. Your Majesty, what the emperor's teacher said, the minister seconded." Huo Qiu stood up.

Although Huo Qiu's status in the court is not as good as before, he still has a deep prestige. The elders of the two dynasties, even the emperor, have to give him some face.

Ning Zhao looked at the two distinct factions in the court hall, and suddenly looked at another person, "What do you think, Marquis Zhenwei?"

Han Po is still able to keep silent today, even though it is his own son-in-law, the prince, who is in the center of public opinion.At the moment when he was hit, he just replied calmly, "It all depends on His Majesty's wise decision."

Ning Zhao pondered for a moment, did not agree to all of Qin Guanyue's requests, nor did he not agree to all of them, leaving Xie Heng behind and lending Lou Binghe.

However, just like this, all the officials also saw what he meant. Xie Heng is just a mere young minister of Dali Temple, and Lou Binghe is the key to this case. If there is no power and influence of him, can the women who cry for grievances enter Dali Temple? Doors are unknown.

Huo Qiu and the others knew for sure that the prince was fine for the time being.

It's just that the way they looked at Qin Guanyue became a bit more complicated. This is because they were beaten with a stick before, and now they are given a date?Or is it because of King Ke's previous rudeness?
Without waiting for everyone to figure it out, Qin Guanyue continued to talk about her official business of returning to the court today-the appointment of the Baigong Order.

Of course she didn't come here specially for the prince today, the Baigong Order is the big deal, she didn't lie about that.

Ning Zhao had read the roster beforehand, and now he directly asked Mr. Wang to pass it on to the courtiers below for viewing.

After everyone finished watching, they looked at each other in blank dismay, but didn't speak.

"Do you have any objections to this list?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't dare to give opinions. After all, this matter is advocated by the emperor. I dare not criticize myself. It was only the minister who took a look at the biographies of the personnel on the roster."

Just now that Master Zhou sneered, and said contemptuously, "Most of them are uneducated rough people, I'm afraid they are not suitable for being an official."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall thought of a chuckle, he felt annoyed, and glared at the other party, "What is the emperor laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think Mr. Zhou is very interesting, so ordinary but so confident."

Qin Guanyue continued with a smile on her face, "Who doesn't know that even though the Hundred Works Order is my insistence, it's fair to show that I've handed over all the affairs to others."

"The person is selected by the students of the Imperial Academy, and his ability is confirmed by the great scholars in the capital. If Mr. Zhou has any doubts, he should question the students of the Imperial Academy and the great scholars in the capital."

Qin Guanyue said again, "Besides, Master Zhou thinks that rough people are not worthy of being an official, which is really ridiculous. Even saints say that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but Lord Zhou wants to stop these rough people from serving the country with all their might. ... with ulterior motives."

"you--"

Mr. Zhou opened his mouth to reprimand, but he was pulled by the people next to him, and then he blushed and retorted, "The emperor's teacher can't avoid the heart of a villain and the heart of a gentleman. I'm obviously worried that those rough people can't afford to be an official." Responsibility!"

"Master Zhou doesn't need to worry about this. The officials elected by the Baigong Order will not be assigned places. I will arrange where to go."

Qin Guanyue smiled again as she spoke, "It just so happens that most of the officials in the capital were beheaded earlier, just to make room for them."

When the courtiers heard this, their backs shivered, and they suddenly realized that the emperor had already paved the way for the Baigong Order when he entered Beijing, even at any cost.

There was silence in the hall, Ning Zhao saw this with a smile on his face, and then he spoke leisurely.

"It's nice to say, you have made such a big battle, if there is no result, then I will find you trouble."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"..."

When retreating from the court, the person on the dragon chair told Qin Guanyue to pay attention to her body as always, which made His Highness and courtiers feel a little more complicated in their hearts, resentful and jealous.

Feng Yi walked over to Qin Guanyue side by side, with a gentle smile on his face, "The emperor is so convinced that the Hundred Works Order can bring prosperity to Daxi?"

"Not sure, try your luck."

Qin Guanyue turned to look at him, "Prime Minister wants to ask Cao Ping about it?"

"That's right, so the emperor has finally decided to step down from the mortal world and join us and other ordinary people?"

"I'm not a refined person. I just watch the moon and have nothing to rely on. I really don't deserve to merge with you. I don't have any worries, so I don't bother to merge."

"The emperor is too modest."

She didn't want to say that Feng Yi couldn't ask any more questions, and seeing her walking away, she said with a smile, "This emperor doesn't look like a teenage girl."

"Gong Yue is not a decent person, so where can his apprentice go upright?"

Huo Qiu sneered, "She is now under one person and above ten thousand people, and only one ice river blocks her way. These two will fight...sooner or later."

Those who enter the court and become officials have never been alone. Once they have tasted the sweetness of power, they can't help but want more, and they will fight. If there is a fight, it will be endless.And those who are in the midst of a struggle cannot be alone.

Over there, Qin Guanyue quickened his pace and managed to catch up with Han Pu, but he got a supercilious look from him, and couldn't help crying out for grievances, "I helped Lord Hou's son-in-law, why didn't Lord Hou even give me a good face?"

When Han Po heard this, she looked more serious, "The emperor's teacher has always been His Majesty's person, and the power possessed by the emperor's teacher is also derived from this unique loyalty. Didn't Gong Yue tell you?"

"Master Hou wants me to follow in his footsteps?"

"Qin Guanyue, you became famous at a young age, and you became an extremely powerful minister at fifteen, which is rare in this world, but don't be fooled by power."

"..."

Qin Guanyue smiled slightly, and met his gaze and asked, "Master Hou and the old Lord Hou are both loyal to the country. It is really admirable that they can even refuse their own daughter's plea. I once thought, if one day you have to choose between home and country, which one will Hou Ye choose?"

Han Po said without hesitation, "There won't be a day when I, the Han family, are loyal and will live and die with the country."

"Master Hou can ensure that he will not overwhelm the master, how can he be sure that the people on the dragon chair will not run out of money?"

"The Son of Heaven has not yet been decided, the sea has not yet united, and the five kingdoms will eventually fight. What you are worried about is that it will happen a hundred years later. By then, I will either die in battle or go back to the mountains. What you said will never happen."

"The world is impermanent, and there is still some time before the War of the Five Kingdoms. How can Lord Hou ensure that there will be no changes during this period?"

"..."

Han forced to stop and looked back at her, "What do you want to say?"

Qin Guanyue walked up to him slowly, and asked back, "Master Hou is a smart man, don't you know that if you don't help the prince this time, the prince will hate the whole Hou family from now on?"

Han Po's expression remained unchanged, "I, Han Po, have a clear conscience."

"What about the Crown Princess? Isn't Hou Ye afraid that the Crown Princess will have a hard time in the future?"

Han Po's expression was slightly shaken, but he still insisted on replying, "From the moment she insisted on marrying into the Prince's Mansion, she has already broken ties with the Han family. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, she will bear it herself, and no one can control it."

Qin Guanyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Master Hou is noble, but the world is impermanent. If one day the Hou Mansion really faces such a crisis, I would like to help you with your relationship with Young Master Ling."

Han Po stared at her for a moment, then turned and left without saying anything.
