Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 14 Or marry a granddaughter to him

Di Renjie was dumbfounded and stunned by Qin Yi's words.

That's too much information, okay?

This involves Qin Huaidao, the Duke of Licheng County, Lai Junchen, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and even the fundamental issue of establishing a crown prince for the country.

Di Renjie was a little dazed for a moment. The young man in front of him, who seemed to have not yet come of age, was so enchanting.

His words were exactly the same as what he had been thinking about for a long time and finally figured out how to persuade Wu Zetian.

This descendant of Qin Qiong is so loyal and brave, yet so terrifying!

"Okay, Lord Di," Qin Yi looked around guiltily. After all, he was so excited just now that his voice was a little loud. What if someone heard it?
Don’t think about what will happen in the future, you will die immediately!

"I'm leaving now. Please ask Lord Wei to release you."

"Our green mountains remain unchanged, our green rivers flow forever. Please remember, my name is Qin Yi."

After saying these last few sentences, Qin Yi emphasized who he was again, bowed to Di Renjie, turned around and walked out of the prison in the Jishiyuan.

When passing by Heichi Jun's cell again, Qin Yi looked at him again without showing any expression and prayed silently in his heart.

Lao Hei, don't rush to death. Just wait for two or three months. When Lai Junchen falls, I will find a way to save you.

Why wait until Lai Junchen falls?
Because he would not risk being killed by Lai Junchen to save Heichi Jun.

Compared with a modern man like himself, ten thousand black-toothed beauties are not as important as Qin Yi.

So how to save Lai Junchen after he falls?
Nonsense, after Lai Junchen falls from power, he will overturn the verdicts of those who were wrongly killed by him.

If he had just run in and released the man a quarter of an hour before the imperial edict of exoneration arrived, Heichi Jun would surely have been grateful to him, right?

He shook his head, threw these unrealistic thoughts behind him, and walked out of the prison door.

He quickly bowed to Wei Chengqing and Qin Yi looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Sir Wei, could you please go in and release Di Renjie?"

Wei Chengqing had already received instructions from Lai Junchen, so naturally he would not shirk his responsibility.

As for why Qin Yi was so polite to him?
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you are right.

My politeness to you doesn't stop me from wanting to kill you in my heart, and being polite to you doesn't cost any money.

Ever since entering the prison of the Yishiyuan, Wei Chengqing had been sentenced to death in Qin Yi's heart.

Anyway, he was the one who got to know Zhang Yizhi first, so Qin Yi was confident that Zhang Yizhi would obey his orders.

In the future, when Wei Chengqing tries to get close to him, he will never pay any attention to this treacherous villain.

Wei Chengqing called two guards from the Yishiyuan and walked into the prison. Qin Yi restrained his smile and turned back to the lobby of the Yishiyuan.

"How about it?"

As soon as he saw Qin Yi come in, Lai Junchen immediately came forward and asked.

"It's settled," Qin Yi bowed to Lai Junchen. "Master, you are a genius. Everything is going according to your plan. There will be no mistakes."

"That's good!"

Lai Junchen was already overjoyed at this moment, so how could he notice Qin Yi's subtle flattery?
He was also complacent at this moment, thinking that he was indeed extremely intelligent.

Lai Junchen was overjoyed for a moment, then turned to look at Qin Yi.

Although his apprentice was a little stupid, he was still capable of doing things. Lai Junchen was thinking about whether to assign him a position in the Imperial Household Department.

"Brother Yi," Lai Junchen, with a radiant face, looked at Qin Yi and told him about the work content of the four departments in the Yishiyuan.

"Which department are you most interested in? I'd like to arrange for you to go there and gain some experience."

"Teacher," Qin Yi knelt on the ground with a plop upon hearing that.

"Although I am a bit dull, I have only been with Master for one day, and you don't want me anymore?"

"What is this nonsense?"

Lai Junchen stepped forward in surprise and helped Qin Yi up.

"When did the master say that he didn't want you anymore?"

Qin Yi suddenly became dramatic at this moment, and looked at Lai Junchen with a deathly pale face.

"Master, as the saying goes, a teacher is one who teaches, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts."

"I have become your disciple, intending to be your lackey, always at your side."

"You've assigned me a task, so how can I possibly follow you around every day and learn from you?"

Qin Yi's words were so sincere and heartfelt that even someone as hard-hearted as Rulai Junchen, who had seen many people die, felt deeply moved.

"A teacher is one who teaches, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts."

"That's a really good sentence. Which article did you read it from?"

When Qin Yi heard Lai Junchen's question, he was suddenly shocked.

This sentence comes from Han Yu's "On Teachers". The problem is that Han Yu was not born until seventy years later, so this sentence has no source?
If I get killed because of my slip of the tongue, then I would be a villain who died because of talking too much!
Qin Yi sighed in his heart while nervously thinking about countermeasures.

In an instant, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Um"

Seeing that Qin Yi was a little flustered at the moment, Lai Junchen snorted coldly.

Lai Junchen is absolutely an extremely intelligent person.

The reason why he was able to be deceived by Qin Yi's words before was because Qin Yi was too young. In his eyes, Qin Yi was almost the same age as his grandson.

How could someone who could stand firm under Wu Zetian for more than 20 years not be good at observing people's words and expressions?

"Mentor."

Qin Yi kowtowed quickly. "It's not that I intentionally deceived my teacher. It's really true."

"What is it really?"

Seeing Qin Yi hesitating and wanting to speak but stopping, Lai Junchen became more and more confused.

This little thief is being too attentive for no reason. He is either a traitor or a thief.

He must have bad intentions in his heart as he tries to curry favor and enrich himself.

“It is true that as soon as a student sees his mentor, these words come to mind.”

Qin Yi pretended to be a little shy, muttering with his forehead against the ground.

"The students thought this was too corny, so they were a little embarrassed to say it out loud!"

So that's how it was. Lai Junchen's doubts were immediately gone.

As a young man of seventeen or eighteen, it is understandable that Qin Yi is a little thin-skinned.

Lai Junchen recalled that when he was as old as Qin Yi, he would also blush when he saw the young ladies in the neighborhood.

Qin Yi didn't know that his nonsense words actually touched the softest part of Lai Junchen's heart.

After all, who doesn’t have some memories of their youth?

Lai Junchen's expression immediately relaxed, and he raised his hand to help Qin Yi up.

"Silly child, what's there to be shy about?"

Then, Lai Junchen's expression straightened and he looked at Qin Yi and said.

"Today, the first thing I will teach you is that as an official, you should never be too thin-skinned."

"Yes!" Qin Yi hurriedly bowed again and responded with his consent.

The more Lai Junchen looked at Qin Yi, the more he liked him. How could one not feel pity for such a polite and handsome young man?
At this moment, Lai Junchen had even begun to wonder which of his granddaughters was of the same age as Qin Yi.

How could such a well-behaved child be the playboy that people say he is?

In the future, he will be qualified to become the prince consort of his own family.

Lai Junchen did not use the word "son-in-law" indiscriminately. At this time, he had already harbored the ambition to usurp the throne.

With a love for talent in his heart, Lai Junchen began to teach Qin Yi how to be an official.

Although Qin Yi came from the modern era, he was only a senior student before traveling through time.

Although he has mastered modern knowledge, he is far from being comparable to Lai Junchen, a veteran official, in terms of social skills.

Lai Junchen's explanation of the officialdom gave him an epiphany and gave him some clarity of thought.

Several hours passed during this conversation without us noticing.

"Brother Yi, come back with me to dinner tonight!"

To Qin Yi's surprise, Lai Junchen actually invited him.

"Teacher," Qin Yi shook his head awkwardly, "Let's forget about it today."

"Oh?" Lai Junchen looked at Qin Yi with an unsatisfied look, "Why is that?"

"Firstly," Qin Yi said to Lai Junchen with a bitter look on his face, "I was just kicked out by my father. Today I found a place to stay and haven't had time to go back to clean up yet."

"Secondly, when a student becomes a disciple, he or she comes empty-handed, which is already very disrespectful."

"But if I were to visit my mentor at his home, I would be ashamed to leave empty-handed."

"This"

As soon as Lai Junchen invited Qin Yi, he actually regretted it in his heart.

He was also made happy by Qin Yi's coaxing, and even had the idea of ​​finding one of his granddaughters to marry him.

On a whim, I invited him.

But Lai Junchen was not a person who would talk too much to people he had just met.

Having served as an official for more than twenty years, he had long understood the principle that secrecy leads to success and disclosure leads to failure.

Although he has accepted the other party as a student.

But the two had only known each other for two days, so how could he not be on guard against Qin Yi?

However, Qin Yi's performance made Lai Junchen feel somewhat complicated.

On the one hand, the other party's tactful and polite words are very appropriate and will never cause any resentment.

On the other hand, after being rejected by Qin Yi, Lai Junchen actually felt a little lost.

But after thinking it over again and again, Lai Junchen still sighed slightly.

"Well, in a month, it will be my birthday. Come to my house and have a drink!"

After bowing and saying goodbye to Lai Junchen, Qin Yi walked out of the Jishiyuan. By this time, it was already dark.

Remembering his appointment with Zhang Yizhi, Qin Yi hurried back home and asked Hongwei to fetch five strings of money for him, which he put on his shoulders and rushed to Pingkangfang.

Before reaching Hua'e Tower, Qin Yi saw from afar an unbelievably handsome young man standing outside the door of Hua'e Tower.

At this time, the courtesans, singing girls, dancing girls, and proofreaders in Hua'e Tower were all very excited.

Most of the women were still upstairs, opening the windows and looking down.

A small group of brave women ran to the outside of Hua'e Tower, surrounded Zhang Yizhi and looked at him unscrupulously.

"Wulang." Qin Yi shouted and walked towards Zhang Yizhi with a smile on his face.
