The pagoda on the top of the mountain is surrounded by pine forests. Qin Hao led Cheng Shaoshang and Nannan along the way and found the scenery to be beautiful.
After entering the pagoda, Qin Hao checked and found that there was no one around. Cheng Shaoshang found a corner and unbuttoned his clothes. The little guy was very well-behaved and ate whatever he was given. .
Nannan saw her brother eating very sweetly, and smiled and pressed his cheek. The little guy also waved his little hand, as if to say that he was eating, so don't make trouble.
Cheng Shaoshang saw Qin Hao watching from the side and gave him a charming side glance, but they were an old couple and there was no obstruction.
When the little guy was full, Cheng Shaoshang stopped eating, wiped his son's mouth, and then suggested, "The scenery is nice, why don't we go up and have a look"
Qin Hao nodded, "Well, you're already here, let's go to the top of the tower and have a look."
Along the way, Cheng Shaoshang saw that the internal structure of the pagoda was very interesting, and began to discuss the pagoda with Qin Hao. How was it built? Nannan has been staying with Qin Hao these years. Qin Hao also formulated a learning plan for her from elementary school to junior high school. Nannan also mastered a certain amount of mathematics and geometry knowledge. Regarding the discussion between Qin Hao and Cheng Shaoshang She can also understand the content.
As he was approaching the top of the tower, he suddenly heard someone talking above him. What shocked Cheng Shaoshang even more was that the content of the conversation was actually about the waste of storage.
Qin Hao was also worried, and hurriedly made a silent gesture to Cheng Shaoshang and Nannan, and was about to quietly retreat. The little guy in Cheng Shaoshang's arms must have peed. Start crying.
Qin Hao finally experienced what it meant to cheat his father, and quickly asked Cheng Shaoshang to take his daughter away first.
Sure enough, the conversation upstairs suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the wooden stairs creaked and howled.
However, it seemed that there were only four or five people listening to the footsteps. Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that only a few people were involved in this conspiracy.
Cheng Shaoshang knew that if he stayed, he would only be a burden to Qin Hao. He held his son in one hand and ran downstairs with his daughter in the other.
At this time, two strong men wearing bright silver armor also took the lead in chasing down.
Qin Hao recognized the armor on the opponent at a glance. This was a high-end armor only worn by prince guards. He was obviously a personal guard of a certain prince. This echoed what he had heard before. Since he was planning to abolish the crown prince, he was naturally one of the princes, and it seemed that the biggest beneficiary of abolishing the crown prince would be the third prince.
Without any time to think, the two guards had already attacked in unison. Two short knives flashed with a cold light, one slashed towards Qin Hao's throat, and the other towards Qin Hao's waist. Come stabbing.
Qin Hao didn't have time to think too much. He took advantage of the narrow structure of the pagoda stairs to avoid the short knife stabbed at his waist. At the same time, he tightened his right hand into a fist and punched the wrist of another guard.
Hearing a scream, the dagger fell to the ground. Qin Hao took the opportunity to lock his throat and block it in front of him.
In the flash of lightning, the other guard had missed his blow and continued to slash with his sword. Qin Hao huddled behind the guard and confronted him.
At this moment, several people from upstairs also rushed over, and Qin Hao saw a familiar figure, the third prince.
The third prince was also shocked when he saw Qin Hao. At this moment, the sound of footsteps coming upstairs suddenly came from downstairs. Qin Hao secretly thought that it was not good.
I saw Ling Buyi walking up with Cheng Shaoshang and Nannan.
The third prince suddenly shouted "Stop"
Ignoring the guards' obstruction, he walked up to Qin Hao and smiled, "There is no need to be so tense when meeting old friends."
p>
Qin Hao sneered, "Since we are old friends, just pretend that what happened today never happened. I will never reveal a word when I go out. How about"
The third prince was still smiling. , but shook his head, "You should know my character. I never leave my fate in other people's hands."
"So I have to fight to the death." Qin Hao's eyes narrowed.
The third prince pointed in the direction of Cheng Shaoshang, "You don't seem to have the capital to negotiate terms."
While speaking, Qin Hao directly moved the guard in front of him who was restrained by him. He threw it over and then, like a cheetah, he rushed in front of the third prince in the blink of an eye.
The third prince was horrified and subconsciously drew his sword to resist. However, his force value was more than one and a half points behind Qin Hao. Before he could completely pull out the sword, Qin Hao had already used it. His neck was clasped.
"Let go of the third prince quickly"
The guards immediately panicked.
After experiencing the initial panic, the third prince suddenly smiled, "I have always heard from Zicheng that you are brave enough for thousands of people to take the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops. It is like picking out an object from a bag. Originally, it was I thought Zicheng was exaggerating, but when I saw him today, I realized that his reputation was well-deserved."
Qin Hao couldn't help but admire the third prince's magnanimity, for being so calm in such a situation.
"Now I have the capital to negotiate terms," Qin Hao sneered.
Ling Buyi hesitated and walked over, "Zihan, we grew up together. You should know that the prince has a weak character and listens to others' beliefs. He is not suitable to inherit the throne."
Qin Hao glanced at Ling Buyi and mocked, "Although the prince is weak, at least he will not kidnap other people's wives and children."
Ling Buyi looked directly at Qin Hao, "I I never thought of harming them."
Qin Hao looked at the third prince's bodyguard coldly and said coldly, "But the third prince will. Now I will give you two choices, either die together or let us go. , I promise that not a word of what happened today will be spread out."
The third prince suddenly shouted, "Hurry and catch them"
Qin Hao used a force in his hand and grabbed the three of them. The prince grabbed his neck and lifted it up, putting it on the pagoda window. His eyes were cold and he said, "If you dare to make a move, I will throw him out of here."
The guard's face turned livid and he shouted angrily.He shouted, "How dare you, put the Third Highness down quickly"
The third prince's head was hanging upside down by the side of the pagoda, and he was also scared to death. At first, he was sure that Qin Hao did not dare to do anything to him, the prince. At this time He could clearly feel Qin Hao's killing intent. He had no doubt that as long as the guard dared to touch a hair between Cheng Shaoshang and the child, he would fall down and turn into a meat pie in the next second.
"Stop, cough, I promise you." The third prince's neck was pinched, and he could only squeeze out a few words from his throat.
Qin Hao then lifted him up and said with a stern look, "Let them go."
Cheng Shaoshang's eyes were filled with worry, but as of now, he could only He gritted his teeth and pulled his daughter away.
After Cheng Shaoshang walked for half an hour, Qin Hao took the third prince to the foot of the pagoda, pushed the third prince out, and Qin Hao slowly backed away.
The guard was about to catch up, but was stopped by Ling Buyi.
The third prince rubbed his tight throat and said in a bitter voice, "If what happened today had not happened, would Zihan be willing to help me?"
Qin Hao said coldly Looking at him, "From today on, we are no longer friends."
As he said that, he looked at Ling Buyi, "The same goes for you."
A trace of loneliness flashed in Ling Buyi's eyes. But he didn't defend himself. In essence, he and Qin Hao were the same kind of people. Anyone who dared to hurt his family would pay a heavy price for it.
At the entrance of the camp, Cheng Shaoshang was surprised to see Qin Hao returning safely. He was relieved and immediately came up to him, hugging him without saying a word.
"It's okay, don't worry." Qin Hao hugged her gently and comforted her in a low voice.
Cheng Shaoshang's body trembled slightly. She knew very well that what just happened involved a fight for the throne, and if she didn't get it right, her family would be confiscated and her family exterminated.
"You didn't tell anyone else, did you?" Qin Hao asked when he returned to the camp.
Cheng Shaoshang shook his head gently, "No, I'm not stupid. If I correct the third prince without evidence, no one will believe me."
"Well, you did the right thing. "Nanny, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, not even your grandfather, you know," Qin Hao said.
Although Nannan didn’t understand, she still nodded obediently.
Qin Hao asked her to hold her in his arms. The little girl's tight body slowly relaxed and she was still trembling a little. She was obviously very frightened.
After a while, she fell asleep in Qin Hao's arms. Qin Hao put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Cheng Shaoshang worriedly said, "Now that we have discovered the secret of the third prince, even if we keep it secret, if he really ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that our Qin family will suffer disaster. Do you want to help?" Help the prince"
Qin Hao thought for a moment and shook his head, "The prince is soft-hearted and has no independent opinions at all. He is not the master of ZTE. What's more, with Taifu Lou here, he will not see his position threatened. "
"What should I do?"
Seeing Cheng Shaoshang's troubled look,Qin Hao comforted him softly, "In addition to the prince and the third prince, there is also the fifth prince."
Cheng Shaoshang looked up blankly, "The fifth prince is his birth"
The fifth prince is Emperor Wen. She was born after a drunken encounter with Xu Meiren. In the harem, the empress was a political marriage after Emperor Wen started his business. Although Emperor Wen didn't like her very much, he always respected her. Concubine Yue was Emperor Wen's childhood sweetheart and was Bai Yueguang's wife. existence, only Concubine Yue in the entire harem dared to shut Emperor Wen out.
Precisely because of his humble birth, the fifth prince has never had any sense of existence. In addition, he usually behaves like a libertine, so the prince and the third prince do not regard him as a competitor.
However, based on Qin Hao’s understanding of the fifth prince since he was a child, he is an extremely smart person. He knew from a very young age that he was not as good as the prince and the third prince by birth, and was unlikely to inherit the throne, so he Make yourself appear harmless to humans and animals.
Cheng Shaoshang looked at Qin Hao in surprise and whispered, "You mean, the fifth prince is just pretending."
Qin Hao nodded, "Just leave this matter alone. Leave everything to me."
Cheng Shaoshang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Wan Tzu's wife and Wang Jian quarreled and choked. The two parties agreed to have a riding and archery competition. As a result, Wang Jiao saw that she was about to lose the game and deliberately fired an arrow to scare Wan Tzu's wife's horse. Cheng Song chased after her regardless of her own safety and rescued Wan's wife, but he was injured in the leg and died.
It is very unlucky to see blood during the sacrifice to heaven. In addition, during this period, many children from aristocratic families were acting recklessly, and even a few pairs of wild mandarin ducks were caught by the guards. Emperor Wen was furious. Indicates severe punishment.
Outside the tent, Cheng Shizheng and his family were kneeling to beg for mercy. Wan Songbai and his wife were also kneeling beside them. Emperor Wen glared at the two of them angrily and scolded them.
"You two don't know how to restrain the younger ones, and you behave like those children from aristocratic families all day long."
Cheng Shi and Wan Songbai quickly kowtowed to apologize, and Wan's wife was very depressed. She was obviously the victim, but she had to kneel here. On the contrary, the culprit looked back and saw nothing wrong with her.
Seeing that Cheng Shi and Wan Songbai were quite sincere, Emperor Wen did not pursue the matter further and punished them with fasting for the past two days until the sacrifice was over.
However, the other children of the aristocratic families were not so lucky. After being beaten, they all screamed loudly, including Wang Jiao. This time Wan Qiu Qi was able to get rid of the bad breath in her chest. Call His Majesty the Holy Ming directly.
Cheng Song was a little depressed. It stands to reason that he saved Wan's wife, and Wan's wife also said that she would marry him, but after returning, Wan's wife kept avoiding him.
Cheng Song had no choice but to come to Cheng Shaoshang for help. Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but admire Qin Hao's vision of people.
"It's really accurate." Cheng Shaoshang muttered to himself.
Cheng Song was confused, "Niao Niao, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing, let's do this. I'll go to Wanfu another day and ask for you."Although Cheng Shaoshang found it a bit unbelievable, for the sake of his second brother's lifelong happiness, he decided to match him up with Wan Qifei.
Besides, it seems pretty good to have a best friend turn into a sister-in-law.
After Cheng Song left, Cheng Shaoshang took his son to Wan Mansion. Wan's wife was bored at home. Since Tu Gaoshan's sacrifice got into trouble, Wan Songbai locked her up at home.
"Yu'er, let Aunt Wan hug her." It's rare for Wan's wife to remain enthusiastic about the little guy.
The little guy was almost one year old at this time, and he was not as accepting of life as before. He was held by Wan Qiu Qi for a while before he impatiently asked for his mother.
Cheng Shaoshang took his son and asked insinuatingly, "Sister Wife, did my second brother offend you?"
Wan Wife thought of Cheng Song's attempt to save her that day , her thigh was injured, she even opened her trouser legs to take a look, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"No, I, I am"
When Cheng Shaoshang saw this expression, he thought there was something wrong.
"I just don't know how to face it."
Wan Qishu nodded repeatedly. Cheng Shaoshang's words spoke to her heart. She had always regarded Cheng Song as a good person. Brother, I was completely unprepared to treat him as a lover. The relationship suddenly changed, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
Cheng Shaoshang smiled and said, "Sister Wife, my second brother, although he is a bit weak, he can risk his life for you at the critical moment, so he is still worthy of trust. You might as well take care of him." Think about it."
Wan Zhishou pursed her lips and said, "Okay, then I'll think about it again."
After returning from Wan Mansion, Cheng Shaoshang seemed to have done something very special. Something that gives a sense of accomplishment is proud to show off to Qin Hao when he comes back.
Qin Hao smiled and pinched her cheek, "Let me just say that your second brother is interested in Wanqi's wife."
"Yes, the husband knows things like a god." Cheng Shaoshang rewarded Qin Hao with a kiss and said charmingly.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous. Naturally, a big battle was inevitable.
After a silent night, Qin Hao went to work at Dianmao in the palace early in the morning. When he was sorting out the memorials sent today, he suddenly found that several of them mentioned After finding out about the bad currency, I immediately paid attention to it.
After the court meeting was over, Qin Hao took the memorial directly to Jianzhang Palace where Emperor Wen handled government affairs.
Emperor Wen was discussing with Prime Minister Deng Yu and several other courtiers the issue of annexation of states due to frequent foreign invasions.
"What brings Zihan here?" Emperor Wen asked.
Qin Hao directly handed several memorials to Emperor Wen. When Emperor Wen took them and took a look, his expression suddenly changed. Any centralized dynasty would have zero tolerance for counterfeit coins.
Counterfeit currency is extremely harmful regardless of scale. This involves a trust issue, because the currency itself has no value. The reason why it can be used for transactions is entirely out of trust for the central government. recognition.
Counterfeit currency is eroding this trust. If the currency system collapses, it will bring aboutThe consequences are extremely terrible and can even directly destroy a dynasty.
Emperor Wen was furious, "Check, let me get to the bottom of it. No matter who is behind this, I will never tolerate it."
"Promise." Prime Minister Deng Yu also knew the seriousness of the matter. .
"Qin Aiqing stays."
Just when Qin Hao was about to leave with the others, he was stopped by Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen whispered, "Zihan thinks where did this counterfeit currency come from?"
After being furious, Emperor Wen also realized that he could make counterfeit currency and circulate it on a large scale. It is obviously not an ordinary family. If some feudal kings are involved, it will inevitably lead to another bloody storm.
Qin Hao bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, judging from the leakage of counterfeit currency information from various places, it should be from Shouchun."
The number one Emperor Wen of the "Shouchun Family" The first thing that comes to mind is the Wang family. Wen Xiujun, the wife of Wang Chun, the head of the Wang family, is his cousin. He understands the lawless character of this woman. If these counterfeit coins really flowed from Shouchun, there is a high probability that they came from Wen Xiujun. hand.
"What does Zihan think should be done?" Emperor Wen asked.
Qin Hao secretly thought that as the emperor who helped revive the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen's ability would naturally not be hindered by such a trivial matter. It must be testing him.
"Wei Chen believes that in addition to collecting evidence, troops should be mobilized to Shouchun immediately to prevent unexpected events."
Emperor Wen nodded happily, "Yes, that's right."< /p>
After saying that, he stopped talking. When Qin Hao saw this, he returned to Taiyuan University. He originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but before he got off work, the imperial edict came down, asking him to follow Ling No doubt, they went together to change defenses near Shouchun.
When leaving the palace, Ling Buyi was already waiting at the entrance of the palace, and said to Qin Hao with a complicated expression, "I can fight side by side with Zihan again."
Qin Hao said in an indifferent tone. He said, "It's just to suppress bandits. General Ling alone is enough. I'm just a foil."
Ling Busuo said nothing, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
Qin Hao has already turned around and left. From the moment Ling Buyi threatened him with Cheng Shaoshang and his son, the friendship that once existed as colleagues has been blown away by the wind. His family is Qin Hao’s enemy. Who can Can't touch either.
When she returned home, she was a little worried when she learned that Qin Hao was going to war again. Qin Hao comforted her for a while before dispelling her worries.
This time, in addition to him and Ling Buyi, Cheng Shi will also go to Tongniu County to transport a batch of copper ore. It just so happens that he will go there in one go, and he will not have to face Ling Buyi's ice face all the time. .
