Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

That night.

After Eunuch Miao returned to the palace.

They remained outside the palace.

Inside, the Empress was guarding the place with many concubines. Usually, around midnight, the concubines would be sent back to their quarters.

As for the Empress, she will stay a little longer.

Meanwhile, there are some things that the Empress has been handling recently, but he didn't tell Qin Feng about them.

However, the Empress could only handle minor matters; she couldn't understand matters of the court and it was difficult for the other party to offer any good advice.

"Your Majesty the Empress."

Just then.

The empress came out from inside.

Grandpa Miao hurriedly bowed.

"I heard that Eunuch Miao left the palace today and just returned. Was there something he needed to do tonight?"

The Empress narrowed her eyes and asked the old eunuch beside her.

To be honest, if it weren't for the old eunuch staying here and ordering the Imperial Guards to handle some matters recently, not to mention whether the capital would be in chaos, the entire palace would probably be in chaos.

She wields considerable power.

However, this was limited to the palace; there was no way to do so outside. Moreover, the ministers would not allow her to get involved in matters of state. As for the Crown Prince, she had not seen him once since he went to the cabinet.

She had heard some things about how he handled state affairs.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't help but sigh.

The Crown Prince is unfit for important positions; even she herself knows this in her heart. Does that mean she'll be asked to handle state affairs in the future?

But there are some things she can't do anything about.

Moreover, the senior ministers in the cabinet would not agree. If not handled properly, it could lead to even bigger problems. The empress dowager is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a rule established when the royal family was founded, and no one is allowed to violate it.

"Your Majesty, I did go out of the palace for a while; there was indeed something quite important."

Grandpa Miao lowered his head and thought for a moment.

He replied in a deep voice.

"What's so important?"

"Tomorrow, an official wishes to secretly enter the palace and personally meet the Emperor."

Upon hearing this...

The Empress frowned slightly, looking at the old eunuch with a puzzled expression. It was the Emperor himself who ordered that officials were not allowed to enter the palace.

Even though Grand Tutor Wang requested an audience every day, he never entered the palace.

At this critical juncture, it is absolutely impossible for the ministers to know the Emperor's condition. As for these people's guesses, they are just speculations. As long as they don't see it with their own eyes, the Great Zhou will not fall into chaos prematurely.

"Who wants to enter the palace?"

"Grand Tutor Wang, Prefect Qin Feng of Qin Prefecture, Your Majesty, this servant has taken the liberty of agreeing to this matter. Tomorrow at noon, this servant will send someone to bring the two of them in so that they may meet His Majesty in person."

It's impossible to hide it from the public.

Moreover, Eunuch Miao had been pondering Qin Feng's matter the whole way. Even if the future emperor agreed, how could he ensure that Qin Feng was firmly bound to the crown prince?

It must be admitted that Qinzhou Prefecture was able to govern in such a way and had such means in the face of disaster.

This is enough to show that what Qin Feng said might actually come true in the future.

"Grand Tutor, I know of this Qin Feng. I've also heard the Emperor mention him. He secretly came to the capital wanting to see the Emperor..."

The Queen took a deep breath, somewhat puzzled.

She didn't know much about Qin Feng, but she had heard the Emperor mention him a few times.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is also waiting for Qin Feng to come. In the current situation, if the future Crown Prince wants to stabilize the court, there will definitely be no problem if he has Qin Feng's assistance. Qin Feng has come to the capital at great risk to hear His Majesty's opinion."

Grandpa Miao spoke cryptically.

It wasn't stated directly.

but.

The Empress thought about it carefully and was somewhat surprised. If that's the case, does the Emperor have such a high opinion of Qin Feng?

But is the other party really willing to assist the crown prince?

If he actually gains power in the future, then...

"This matter..."

"Your Majesty, there is no other way now. I really have no other choice. If I were not this age, I would naturally not agree. But, whether it is the cabinet or myself, we are all this age and cannot assist the Crown Prince for more than a few years. As for the others, no one can be trusted, and even if they could be trusted, they do not have the ability."

Grandpa Miao knelt on the ground, sighing helplessly.

I thought about it for a long time.

Indeed, there is no suitable candidate. And most importantly, even if there were such a candidate, would anyone really be willing to assist the Crown Prince indefinitely?

If things really get chaotic in the future, this kind of person, if he has any other ideas, will be able to replace the Great Zhou sooner or later.

too difficult.

"This servant begs Your Majesty, if the Emperor agrees, please grant the marriage of one of the princesses in the harem to Qin Feng."

These words were spoken.

The Empress's eyes widened again, and she began to understand what the old eunuch meant.

"What if the Emperor disagrees?"

"If the Emperor disagrees."

Grandpa Miao suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"Qin Feng will not be able to leave the palace tomorrow. This servant is willing to play the villain. Your Majesty, Qin Feng is a man with the talent to govern the world. If he really returns to Qin Prefecture, as long as the grain from the south does not arrive after the New Year, when people in other prefectures rebel, they can only turn to Qin Prefecture for refuge."

As for whether the emperor will agree.

to be frank.

Eunuch Miao had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on; the chances of him agreeing were high. It all depended on how Qin Feng persuaded the Emperor.

However, given the other party's abilities and eloquence, he felt it wouldn't be difficult.

But what if you really disagree?

They absolutely cannot leave the palace alive.

"Regarding this matter... Tomorrow, I, the Imperial Household Agency, will personally hear how Qin Feng persuaded the Emperor!"

The Empress lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"This servant will arrange it."

Grandpa Miao nodded slightly.

……

The next morning.

Inside a carriage outside the palace.

"Grand Tutor, you should think this through. I overheard some things that happened when I came in with you. If the Emperor is truly unwilling, you won't be able to come out alive."

Qin Feng leaned back to the side, looked at Grand Tutor Wang with a gloomy face opposite him, and said with a smile.

"Don't try to scare me. At my age, would I be afraid of such a thing?"

Grand Tutor Wang glanced at the fellow.

His lips twitched slightly.

What time is it? How can you still be in the mood for jokes?

However, this shows that Qin Feng is very confident that he can persuade the emperor this time.

"I don't quite understand. With your talent, and with only the two of us here, if you were to return to Qin Prefecture, you might not be able to avoid the chaos that awaits you in the future. Although this is a treasonous statement, you should be able to figure it out yourself."

suddenly.

Grand Tutor Wang spoke with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this...

Qin Feng was taken aback at first, then immediately shook his head with a smile.

He asked in return:

"In the Grand Tutor's eyes, does having ability necessarily mean one must rebel? What kind of logic is that?"

"Since it's considered outrageous, then I'll just say it casually. To be honest, in my opinion, even a dog wouldn't want that position. You only get a few hours of sleep each day, and frankly, you probably can't even decide which woman you sleep with at night. So, tell me, what's so appealing about that position?"

Grand Tutor Wang was completely dumbfounded.

I never expected Qin Feng to say that.

"Hahaha, you're right. Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true. His Majesty is tired; it seems you're not wrong. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he spends almost every day in the Imperial Study!"

After a while.

Grand Tutor Wang's expression was complex; he smiled bitterly and sighed.
