Daqin: This prince always wants to rebel

In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.

July 28, the 450th year of Sedum.

In the early morning, Qin Tianlong, who was correcting memorials in the imperial study, seemed to sense something, so he raised his head.

Behind a wooden pillar in front of him, two little girls were looking at him quietly, their eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing his two little daughters, Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi, Qin Tianlong showed a smile on his face and said: "Don't hide there and watch, come here."

Hearing this, Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi suddenly looked shocked and hurriedly hid behind the pillar, not daring to look at him.

Seeing this, Qin Tianlong was a little dumbfounded. Did he look like a tiger? Why were they afraid when they saw him?

"Stop hiding, I've seen you, come here quickly."

Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi, who knew they were exposed, looked at each other, a little at a loss.

However, they still mustered up the courage to come out and get closer to Qin Tianlong step by step.

"Father~" Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi shouted in a sweet voice as they walked in front of Qin Tianlong.

Qin Tianlong did not answer the call, but put down his pen and ink and asked Wang Wei to pack up the things in front of him.

After receiving the order, Wang Wei immediately stepped forward to clean up the things on the table and wiped the table dry with a handkerchief.

"Come here." Qin Tianlong said to his two daughters after waiting for the items in front of him to be cleared away.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and walked to each other's side together.

After touching their heads lovingly, Qin Tianlong carried them one by one to the table and sat down.

Then he asked: "You two were not staying with your mother and concubine, so why did you suddenly come to the father? Also, does your mother and concubine know that you are coming to me?"

Qin Yaoguang, who was wearing a blue dress, said: "Father, you haven't come to see us for a month. We miss you."

Qin Yaoxi, who was wearing a pale red dress, said: "Father, my mother and concubine know that we are here to find you."

Hearing that his two daughters came to see him because they missed him, Qin Tianlong suddenly felt a little heartbroken, with a wry smile on his lips.

Due to the busy schedule of the past month, he almost stayed in the imperial study room and did not go anywhere.

This also caused him to not see his two daughters for a month.

"By the way, father, why haven't you come to see us for so long? Do you hate us?" Qin Yaoxi's eyes showed worry, fearing that her father would dislike her.

"How come my father hates you?" Qin Tianlong reached out and touched the cheeks of his two daughters and said with a smile: "In recent times, my father has been busy with things, so he has no time to accompany you."

"Then why don't you let someone tell us?" Qin Yaoguang's voice was filled with complaints.

"This...I forgot." Qin Tianlong suddenly looked embarrassed.

After chatting for a long time, Qin Yaoguang said: "Father, can you take us to see sister Qin Xi? We haven't seen her for three months and we miss her very much."

Qin Yaoxi said: "Father, do you know why sister Qin Xi didn't come to see us? Is she sick?"

While saying this, the two people's faces showed both longing and worry.

Qin Tianlong smiled and said: "Your sister Qin Xi has gone to a very far away place with her father and will not come back for a while, so you can't see her again."

Three months ago, Qin Tianyuan suddenly came to him and told him that he wanted to go out and take his daughter with him.

Originally, he wanted to ask the other party where he was going, but thinking that it was the other party's private matter, he didn't ask further.

As for when the other party will come back? He himself is not sure, because when Qin Tianyuan left, he didn't know exactly when he would come back.

"Ah? Then...when will sister Qin Xi come back?" Qin Yaoguang asked in a sweet voice.

"My father doesn't know either." Qin Tianlong replied helplessly.

They didn't get the answer they wanted, their faces were full of disappointment, and there was a burst of sadness on their little faces.

Seeing this, Qin Tianlong suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Since the birth of his two daughters, Qin Xi has been coming to the palace and occasionally staying in the palace to accompany his two daughters.

Now that the other party has left suddenly and has no idea where he is going, this will inevitably make them miss him.

Reaching out and touching the heads of his two daughters, Qin Tianlong said: "Yao Guang, Yao Xi, although my father cannot let you see your sister Qin Xi, my father can take you to meet someone. I believe you can see her."

After him, he will definitely like it."

"Who is it?" Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi asked in unison, with curiosity in their eyes.

"Your uncle Shangguan Wu's son is Shangguan Yan." After saying these words, he ordered Wang Wei next to him to get ready, and then left the imperial study room with his two daughters in his arms.

"Father, is Uncle Bearded's son as old as us?" Qin Yaoxi asked with a blink.

"A little younger than you." Qin Tianlong replied with a smile.

He was also a little speechless when Qin Yaoxi's daughter called Shangguan Wu his bearded uncle.

But we can't blame her, after all, when Shangguan Wu came back from the border last winter, his face was covered with beard.

Although the other party has shaved off his hair, Qin Yaoxi still likes to call him the bearded uncle.

After leaving the imperial study and arriving at the designated location, Qin Tianlong took his two daughters, Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi, on an ancient water antelope horse carriage, left the palace, and headed to the General's Mansion...

General's Mansion, Shangguan Wu Family.

Shangguan Wu in the study was holding a one-year-old child, his son Shangguan Yan, and reading.

To be precise, he was teaching his young son the art of war and the battles that had taken place in history.

Even though he was very young, Shangguanyan listened with gusto to what his father said, not like a child at all.

His eyes were sparkling with curiosity.

Shangguan Wu himself liked the fact that his youngest son was so curious about the art of war, and told him about it with relish.

At this moment, the housekeeper Yang Xinjiang hurried in from outside.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wu couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Uncle Yang, why are you so panicked?"

"Old... Master, Your Majesty is here and is walking to the living room now." Yang Xinjiang answered breathlessly.

"What?" Shangguan Wu's face was startled, and then he immediately stood up from the cushion with his son in his arms, walked away quickly, and went straight to the living room.

…

East Palace.

study.

At this moment, Qin Lang is focusing on correcting the memorials sent from various places, and the memorials he is correcting are the current status of the students who were admitted to the imperial examination last year.

Since the end of the imperial examination, the Qin Dynasty has introduced a group of new officials, with a total number of 1,428 people.

More than a thousand people do sound like a lot, but they are selected from more than 200 million candidates, so the competition is extremely fierce!

After these candidates passed the exam, they were not immediately assigned official positions. Instead, they were temporarily concentrated in the Hanlin Academy. It was not until March this year, after winter, that they were assigned to serve in various places.

To be precise, these people are arranged to go to various places for internships, and are accompanied by special personnel to secretly review them. Once they pass the review, they can be promoted to full-time positions, and there is even a certain chance of being transferred back to the Imperial City to hold important positions.

Whether there is a chance of being transferred back to the Imperial City to take up important positions depends on their performance in various places and their achievements...

In this imperial examination, except for Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and other advisers who did not participate, Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all participated, and all obtained the first place.

However, the advisers around King Chen were not stingy at all, and they all obtained many top spots in this imperial examination.

To put it simply, the top spots in the imperial examination this time were almost all occupied by the advisers of the Prince's Mansion and Prince Chen's Mansion, and the rest were occupied by students from various places.

This first imperial examination can be described as a battle of gods, and every candidate is not stingy with each other!

The reason why Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and other counselors did not take the imperial examination was not because Qin Lang did not allow it, but because they themselves proposed it.

The reason is also very simple, that is, too many people cannot participate in the imperial examination, otherwise all the first places will be occupied, and the remaining candidates will not be able to reach the first place...

Qin Lang patiently corrected the memorials and watched the current situation of candidates from various places. Su Mucheng and Murong Yao sat aside, eating grapes and various fruits with relish.

It looked like complete enjoyment.

Murong Yao was able to enter the palace because Qin Lang begged the emperor. Otherwise, she could only stay in the Prince's Mansion, and she might not even be able to take her to the Prince's Mansion.

After all, the battle for the throne has not yet begun. No prince can raise a woman, let alone leave any descendants.

Only those princes who were eliminated or voluntarily gave up were qualified to raise women and raise their own children. The other princes were not allowed.

Since the royal family sent people to investigate in the past few days, Qin Lang could only mislead the two of them by pretending to be palace maids.

If his prediction was correct, the reason why the royal family sent people to investigate was probably because someone reported it. But fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, otherwise he would not be able to get away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

At this time, Chen Gui came in from the outside, knelt in front of him, and said, "See His Royal Highness."

"What's the matter?" Qin Lang asked, and then continued to correct the memorial in front of him.

"Back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, just now, when I went to Eunuch Liu to explain the matter, I learned that His Majesty had already left the palace."

"Why is Your Majesty leaving the palace?" Qin Lang looked at Chen Gui with some confusion.

"I don't know much about this! I only know that your majesty has left the palace, and that he has brought the two little princesses with him." Chen Gui said calmly.

Frowning, Qin Lang stopped thinking about it.

When the emperor left the palace, he naturally had things to do, but what puzzled him was why he had to take Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi with him.

Let Chen Gui in front of him go down, and Qin Lang continued to deal with the memorial in his hand.

Whenever there were memorials mentioning important matters, he would put them aside and have them sent to the emperor.

Although as the prince, he can handle many things, there are some things that he cannot handle.

And these matters that he cannot handle must be handled by the emperor himself, so as to ensure that they are ignored.

Of course, if the emperor is not here, he will have to intervene to ensure that there are no accidents...

Time flew by and it was already evening in a blink of an eye.

After finishing the matters at hand, Qin Lang took Su Mucheng and Murong Yao away and returned to his residence.

As soon as they entered the attic, the two people who had been silent at first became chatting and laughing, and came to the imperial concubine's couch to continue their conversation.

Seeing this, Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

The two people have been chatting non-stop since they met, and the topic will never end.

The TV news didn't even cover as much as the two of them did.

After arriving and sitting down on the imperial concubine's couch, he clicked on the lottery page and then conducted the lottery.

It's a pity that after three consecutive draws of ten, I didn't get a single Renjie card.

After exiting the lottery page, Qin Lang murmured: "It's strange! How come Gu's luck has become so bad now, that he didn't get a single Renjie Card?"

From last year to this year, he didn't get a single Renjika. All he got were magic weapons and some useful but useless things.

Such a situation made him wonder if this was his unlucky year, otherwise why he didn't even get a Renjie Card.

As for the magic weapons, exercises, combat skills, and various elixirs obtained from the lottery, he sent them to the "World of Heaven and Earth", and the outstanding people there distributed them to the soldiers below.

"My luck is so bad this year. Could it be that something bad is going to happen?" Qin Lang suddenly had such a guess in his heart.

If something bad was going to happen, he had to be prepared in advance so that he wouldn't open his mouth to call for help when the boat capsized in the gutter.

"I hope nothing big happens."

After letting out a long sigh, he murmured: "Qin Chen has been quite honest recently. I don't know what he is doing? Or, what is he planning?"

Just as he was speculating in his heart, Jiang Wei's voice suddenly came to mind.

"Your Highness."

Qin Lang raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, pressed his temples, and said silently: "What's the matter?"

"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have just received news that King Chen seems to be plotting a rebellion." Jiang Gu stood under an ancient tree and said with a solemn expression.

"Is this serious?" Qin Lang was stunned for a few seconds and asked with a serious face.

"I'm not sure about this, my subordinates are still investigating." Jiang Wei replied with a wry smile on his lips.

"We must investigate clearly. We must know why Qin Chen conspired to rebel? Who are the specific people who rebelled against him? What positions do these people hold?" Qin Lang ordered with a stern look.

Qin Chen wanted to rebel, but it was a strange thing. He really wanted to know the specific reasons and why the other party was qualified to rebel.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, my subordinates will investigate thoroughly in the shortest possible time and inform Your Highness as soon as possible." Jiang Wei vowed to make a promise.

"I don't need your guarantee, I just need you to do your best to investigate this matter. In addition, you want your people to find out when Qin Chen is going to launch an army to rebel?" Qin Lang responded expressionlessly.

He didn't care much about why Qin Chen rebelled. He mainly cared about the timing of the other party's rebellion. After all, he couldn't let the other party's rebellion affect his plan.

"promise!"

After a few brief explanations, Qin Lang ended the conversation with Jiang and said to himself: "Qin Chen, I didn't expect that you are quite smart and want to start a rebellion? I really don't know where you got the courage."
