Chapter 134 The Emperor's Conspiracy

There is a not-so-large wing room behind the banquet hall, and the furnishings inside are very simple. A square table is placed against the north wall, with a mahogany chair on each side. Facing the square table is an antique bottle that is almost half a person tall, with a few peacock feathers placed inside.

Emperor Chu walked slowly to the chair and sat down, turned his face and looked at Qin Fei quietly.[bsp;   The atmosphere in the room was a bit embarrassing, and Tang Yin kept silent. The three of them were silent for a moment. Emperor Chu suddenly scolded and scolded: "Qin Fei, you little brat, throw my face cleanly."

"Hua Tao has a disease of Hualiu. He is misbehaved. You show him in the palace square and reveal his identity. The whole Dongdu knows that the Ninth Princess's future husband is a lustful gangster. The royal family's face is shamed because of your mischief. Hua Shangshu retired and returned home because of you, which made the Ministry of Revenue unable to find anyone to take over. My daughter was already waiting to marry, but after you make such a fuss, she can only return to the boudoir and choose a marriage again, which will take at least one or two years. By then, she is no longer young. How can you delay a woman's youth?

Qin Fei was shocked. I worked hard to help you catch a lustful prince consort, but I didn’t say a word of thanks, but instead I was scolding me?

Tang Yin looked at Qin Fei with a smile, and whispered, signaling him to be honest.

Emperor Chu sighed softly: "Qin Fei, you have done so many wrong things, I really cannot forgive you. Hua Shangshu has left, and I can find someone to take over the Ministry of Revenue. The royal family has lost their face. In time, the people will remember new jokes, not today's Hua Tao. But, my daughter, youth is fleeting, how can I compensate?"

"There are too many nobles in the Great Chu. The princess is young and beautiful. Are you afraid that you will not be able to find a good man?" Qin Fei replied seriously.

A cunning smile flashed through Emperor Chu's eyes and said lightly: "Have you seen Ajiu? How do you know she is young and beautiful?"

Qin Fei suddenly realized that he was quick to speak for a moment, wouldn’t he have exposed the fact that the Ninth Princess ran out to relax in the middle of the night? He was unwilling to use a weak woman as an excuse, so he evaded: “Weichen guessed.”

"Bold, you can guess the appearance of the princess?" Emperor Chu was furious and slapped the square table, deafening, and then shouted angrily: "Qin Fei, you are really unconventional. The palace is where I live, and even if there is a nest of birds in the palace, it is impossible to hide it from me. Do you think that on the bridge in the palace that day, you whispered with Ajiu, and no one knew? Lie in front of me is the crime of deceiving the king. Hua Tao hides me, what is the end? You have seen it with your own eyes. Are you going to be like him?"

Qin Fei was a little helpless by Emperor Chu's roar. He looked at Tang Yin inadvertently, but he felt that Tang Yin seemed to be holding back his smile, as if he had known something, but he just didn't want to say it.

"I am not intentionally deceiving Your Majesty." Qin Fei said seriously: "That is also for the sake of the princess' reputation..."

Emperor Chu snorted coldly: "Qin Fei, everyone in the world says that I am cruel and ruthless, but in fact, I have always been willing to give people a chance. Today, you deceive me like Hua Tao. Ajiu didn't know the morality, so he ran out in the palace in the middle of the night. I don't want such a daughter."

"Tang Qing family, wait for you to draft an imperial edict for me." Emperor Chu shouted coldly: "Qin Fei committed the crime of deceiving the king. This crime is unforgivable. Considering that he is still young and has made great contributions to the court, I will record it for now, keep it for the time being and pay one month's salary. As for Ajiu, it is not upright and completely lost the dignity of the royal family, and then expelled from the palace..."

As soon as he heard that he was going to expel the Ninth Princess from the palace, Qin Fei immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, that is your biological daughter. He just ran out for a walk in the middle of the night, and was also in the palace. The palace is her home. Since he had not left the house, it was not considered running away from home. Whether he would take eunuchs and palace maids with him was just a verbal ban. He had just committed such a thing and would have to expel her from the palace. If she was a woman, if she had not had the identity of a princess and rashly entered the people, wouldn't she be coveted by countless evil people?"

Tang Yin smiled even more happily, and he was gradually unable to hide it.

Emperor Chu glanced at Qin Fei coldly: "You are very polite. Well, after Ajiu is expelled from the palace, you will be under your supervision. Wherever you go, she will follow you. I will give you a chance. You teach her by example. After half a year, I will see if this daughter has learned her lesson. Otherwise, you will be punished together!"

Qin Fei was about to make a debate, but Emperor Chu had already shouted in a low voice: "Go out!"

Tang Yin smiled indifferently, and rolled his sleeves. A powerful force swept Qin Fei, leading him out of the door, and landed lightly outside the corridor for dozens of steps.

Qin Fei was shocked at this time. He didn't expect that Tang Yin had such ability... But then he thought that Liu Qingyang was just a foreigner, and his cultivation was entirely due to Tang Yin's attempt to study the Tang family's ancestral martial arts, so he achieved such a success. Even if Tang Yin was not as talented as Liu Qingyang, he was a clan after all, and he was somewhat of a secret that he had not passed on. I think his cultivation level is probably not much lower than Liu Qingyang!

Thinking of this, Qin Fei frowned and turned around and walked out of the palace.

The door slowly closed, and Tang Yin finally couldn't bear it and burst into laughter with Emperor Chu.

"I knew that when you found out that Hua Tao was that kind of person, you had the idea of ​​Qin Fei being a son-in-law..." Tang Yin laughed so hard that tears were about to fall. He quickly raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, then tried to calm his tone and said, "But the money is too big. Are you really willing to expel the Ninth Princess from the Palace? There are many princesses in the palace, it seems that the Ninth Princess has always been your favorite, right?"

Emperor Chu sighed leisurely: "You must know that although Qin Fei, a gangster, has no other skills, he is a bit like me. When he was young, he would fall in love with countless beauties when he just stood there... Although he might be Dai'er's brother and could not be your son-in-law, he had a passionate fight with Ling'er, the butler's descendants of the housekeeper, if I let Qin Fei be the son-in-law, he would not be able to marry another woman. Both the housekeeper and Qin Fei would definitely not do it... Since that's the case, it would be better to send Ajiu to his house directly."

Tang Yin smiled and said, "I said more than 20 years ago that if you go to business, you will definitely not lose money."

"What did you say that Qin Fei teaches by words and deeds, the dignified princess, live in a man's house for half a year. Is there a second way to go besides marrying him? Half a year later, if you say that Ajiu has not learned his lesson, you will naturally continue to let her live in Qin Fei's house. But if you say that she has learned her lesson, you have to marry Qin Fei for the sake of reputation. After getting married, you will be given the title of princess. Even if Qin Fei is not the prince consort... it will not embarrass the housekeeper. This abacus is so...tsk tsk!"

Tang Yin's words made Emperor Chu's arrogant expression suffocate, and then said, "Of course we have to explain this matter clearly to Ajiu, otherwise, with her temperament, we would not have to go to the bedroom to catch my beard? Alas, if we were to the Queen Mother's place, the Queen Mother would definitely use a dragon-headed crutch to beat me... Being a father is really not an easy thing."

"Don't worry, young men and women will naturally have feelings after being together for a long time." Tang Yin comforted: "The Ninth Princess is smart and understanding, and she is very likable both inside and outside the palace. Qin Fei was also a hero for a while. If the two get along, it would be strange if they don't look at each other."

"I hope this is the case..." Emperor Chu sighed long, shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked: "When Huatao is in trouble, who is more suitable for the Ministry of Revenue to take over? Do you have a recommended candidate?"

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the national treasury, and the annual budget and expenditure must be passed through the Ministry of Revenue, which is extremely powerful, especially before and after the war. Before the war, military expenditure must be prepared and food must be accumulated. During the war, expenditure must be supplemented and various situations must be dealt with. After the war, we must recuperate and comfort the army... If we do not have a smart and capable mind, we will definitely not be able to do this position.

Although Hua Qianshu is not very good at teaching his son, he has always worked diligently in the position of Minister of Revenue and can be regarded as a qualified Minister of Revenue.

Tang Yin thought about it and said: "The situation in Da Chu is relatively complicated now. The northern border must be pacified, and the south must not be guarded. Although there is no war in the Western Regions, the military expenditures in the Western Regions, especially food and grass, all require inland supply, all of which require the support of the Ministry of Revenue. For a time, it is really not easy to find someone who can be fully qualified..."

"Well..." Emperor Chu pondered: "When Hua Qianshu resigned, I had originally considered trying to keep him. But then I thought that everything he did was only barely qualified and could not be considered outstanding. If he forced him to stay, at the most critical moment, his ability was destined to be unable to deal with it with all his strength, which would be disappointing. Instead of holding him accountable at that time, it would be better to choose another talent now."

"There are many talented people in the Great Chu that can always be chosen." Tang Yin whispered: "Let the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue be temporarily appointed. It should be able to deal with it within half a year. It depends on whether Qin Fei can successfully rebuild the Northern Xinjiang Intelligence Station when he goes to Northern Xinjiang this time. As long as the military situation is restored in the northern Xinjiang, the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue will be much easier."

Emperor Chu looked out the window thoughtfully. A ray of sunlight shone into the room through the window screen. It was divided into sunlight by the pane. There seemed to be countless particles flying. Those particles could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, but under the light, they seemed to be invisible.

Just like a human being, an unknown person will be fully exposed under the cover of the emperor.
