"Such formidable armor cannot be penetrated even by the strongest arrows of the Southern Qing Dynasty; they can only leave scratches. Is it possible that my imperial workshop is utterly incompetent?"
Indeed, this suit of armor was taken from an ordinary soldier of the Seven Armies of the Heavenly Palace, the Po Jun Army, which was borrowed from Emperor Qing.
He couldn't move the armor that belonged exclusively to the commander.
Hong Siyang could easily recognize that this armor was different from the standard armor of the Southern Qing army, but he didn't understand what Emperor Qing meant.
Emperor Qing was clearly on the verge of losing his temper just now.
After Emperor Qing sat back down on the long chair, he took a sip of tea and muttered to himself as if talking to himself.
"It's only natural to have ideas that are beyond people's expectations, to be able to do what ordinary people cannot do, and to do what ordinary people cannot do."
A young man's affections are somewhat understandable, but it must be due to my negligence in his upbringing.
The more Hong Siyang and Eunuch Hou listened, the more bewildered they became.
Is Emperor Qing questioning the meaning of life?
Self-reflection?
Isn't this utterly absurd!
How could an emperor who nearly wiped out his entire clan to ascend the throne possibly do such a thing?
Soon, Emperor Qing was enraged again and shouted:
"You little brat, you don't learn the good things from your ancestors, but instead learn such foolish things from a tyrant. Did you lack maternal love since childhood, or is your bloodline too pure and you've awakened to your true nature?"
That's nothing like me!
What kind of quirk is this? Is there no one in this huge palace who can control him? Can't he do something else?
"They're trying to get rid of me as soon as possible."
This is insane! This is insane!
Hong Siyang usually had the Empress Dowager's backing and was not afraid of Emperor Qing.
But even Emperor Qing, who had lost his temper, trembled.
Didn't you see that Eunuch Hou was already kneeling on the ground, wishing he could cover his ears?
They even insult their own ancestors. Which emperor of Nanqing has ever done that?
At this moment, Hong Siyang seemed to have thought of something and whispered:
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This old servant is not afraid to overstep my bounds once. Five years ago, on that rainy night, Your Highness was dressed in heavy armor and held a long sword. Your posture was exactly the same as mine."
Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, then, as if he had truly gone mad, he asked in bewilderment:
"Exactly the same?"
"Yes, exactly."
The next moment, Emperor Qing burst into laughter.
"Those who achieve great things, especially those who aspire to transcend worldly concerns, always possess a certain 'specialness.' Tell them, 'I've given it to you!' But, do you see?"
As he spoke, Emperor Qing pointed to the armor in front of him.
"I know this type of armor is hard to come by, but I want one hundred sets."
Under the vast heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the king.
One hundred sets for one woman, it's a great deal.
Tell him that if he wants women, he can exchange them for armor. I'm more generous than our ancestors; if he dares to ask, I dare to give them to him!
As the emperor who owns the entire Southern Qing.
He possessed not only the world, but also the officials and people living in Nanqing, so he was certainly entitled to regard all women as his possession.
At this moment, Emperor Qing perfectly embodied both domineering and benevolent rule.
"How about we decline again?"
Hong Siyang was somewhat unwilling.
Instead, Emperor Qing pointed at Hong Siyang's nose and started cursing.
"You good-for-nothing, you don't know how to think of your master. Here's what we'll do: if you help me secure this deal, I'll help you break through to the eighth rank!"
Emperor Qing was one of the few people who knew Hong Siyang's strength.
This old man, just like me, hid himself so well that he fooled almost everyone without a brain.
If you think about it seriously, if someone who has always been the personal eunuch of the Empress Dowager of Nanqing and the chief eunuch of the Nanqing Palace were really an old codger, would he still be alive?
Seeing that there was no other way, and that even Emperor Qing had compromised again, and that he himself had been bribed, Hong Siyang lowered his head and replied:
"This old servant takes his leave."
After Hong Siyang left, Emperor Qing looked at Eunuch Hou, who was still lying prostrate on the ground as if asleep, and laughed and scolded him:
"What a spineless coward, scared like this over the slightest disturbance?"
Only then did Eunuch Hou raise his head, smiling ingratiatingly:
"My lord's might is overwhelming, how can this servant possibly stand still?"
"Get up. Summon Fan Jian to the palace. I need to make some preparations for the future."
Furthermore, I will immediately issue an edict to Dongyi City, saying that I suddenly feel that a woman from Qi is not suitable to be the principal wife of the eldest prince of Nanqing, and I am preparing to bestow another marriage upon her.
Ugh, this little brat either doesn't move at all, or when he does, he won't stop for a whole day. Is he some kind of emperor?
I don't have his abilities. At his age, I lived in constant fear and trepidation...
Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Qing seemed to recall something from Li Chengxian's childhood and fell silent.
……
At Emperor Qing's command, the secret agents of the Supervisory Bureau were already running themselves ragged. Since Chen Pingping had not yet left the capital, Zong Zhui was sent on the mission.
The result was that after a long day of military affairs, the eldest prince Li Chengmin woke up to find his wife gone!
At the same time, Emperor Qing suddenly withdrew his decree to grant the marriage, leaving the marriage partner of the Northern Qi princess uncertain and alarming the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.
In their eyes, this was no treasure at all, but a disaster sent from heaven, a stumbling block preventing them from reaching the summit!

In Yuntian Palace, Hong Siyang sat quietly to the side, waiting for Li Chengxian to finish reading the book in his hand.
The more Hong Siyang looked, the more he felt that Li Chengxian's temperament was becoming more and more similar to Emperor Qing's, only she was more calm and composed.
"Uncle Hong has said many times that you don't need to wait for me."
After watching a passage, Li Chengxian looked up and noticed that there was an extra person in the chair beside her.
"Your Highness, His Majesty says that if he wants the Princess of Northern Qi, he must give her a hundred sets of standard armor used by the Po Jun army."
If he could help fulfill the agreement, he would help the old servant break through to the eighth-grade perfection level and reach the ninth-grade grandmaster realm.
Hong Siyang would not hide anything from Li Chengxian.
"Yo!"
Li Chengxian was delighted.
Even without his own influence, once Empress Dowager Nanqing passes away and Hong Siyang becomes Emperor Qing's man, he will probably help him rise to the ninth rank.
Unlike now, where investments are made before the enemy has even been subdued.
"Old Deng finally knows how to do something decent: a hundred sets of Broken Army Armor."
Li Chengxian glanced at the system shop and remembered that last time he bought one item, it cost 15 points, which is 1,500 points. He only needed 5,000 points to start a riot!
That's really asking for the moon.
I just don't know what will happen after I get my hands on this amazing treasure.
"One hundred it is fine. He didn't ask for any accompanying weapons, did he?"
Hong Siyang moved directly to Bengbu.
arms?
"No, there really isn't one!"
"Tsk tsk, even a horse can stumble. I've saved myself some trouble. I agree."
Seeing that the dust had settled, Hong Siyang spoke again:
"His Majesty also said that from now on, if you want a woman, you'll have to exchange her for armor. As long as you dare to ask, he dares to give her to you."
"Did he really say that?"
Others might not understand, but Li Chengxian realized that this was a stage set up for a performance, and he was getting cocky!
This should be interpreted in reverse.
If you want to get a woman, you have to give him some benefits, otherwise that cunning old man will cause you trouble.
A cold glint flashed in Li Chengxian's eyes as she thought of a certain matter.
"You absolutely mustn't go back the way you came, or I can't guarantee I won't ruin your kid!"
"Tianquan, tell Tianshu that I want to eat fish. Send out spies and keep a close eye on the capital."
After speaking, Li Chengxian glanced at the faction-exclusive ninth-grade Grandmaster Pills in the Longevity Mall, which cost 5,000 each, and smiled slightly.
If you dare to move, I'll break your teeth.
Tianquan, who had been waiting outside the door, bowed towards the inside of the hall and quickly left.
Hong Siyang also stood up.
"Then this old servant will immediately reply to Your Majesty that it is getting late and I must hurry back to the Empress Dowager's side."
"It's true what they say: 'The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.'"
Shaking his head to stop Li Chengxian from trying to persuade him to stay, Hong Siyang hurriedly left. He knew that he would hear the news from the Empress Dowager of Nanqing and was afraid that the father and son would quarrel again.
Li Chengxian is no longer the boy he was five years ago. Over the years, the entire Yuntian Palace has been like a forbidden area, and no one has been able to find out just how powerful this force is.
A moment later.
