Entering the Dynasty Chapter 23: Smiling Tiger

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After hearing Chen Ergou's voice, Meng Xia stepped forward and opened the door.

    I saw Chen Erniu leading a father-in-law in a flying fish suit and two people in official robes walking over.

    From the position, it can be seen that the leader is the father-in-law.

    I saw the father-in-law walking towards Shi Kan's room, and seeing Meng Xia open the door, a mechanical smile appeared on his dull face.

    This father-in-law's surname is Cao, and his single name is Qin. He is the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the Twelve Prisons of Dachu.

    This Yumajian is not because it is as simple as controlling the imperial army and managing all the horses and food in Dachu. The military power held by the Yumajian is far inferior to that of Dachu and even Emperor Yuan Jing's imperial forest army.  Just because Yumajian is in charge of internal funds, and can be a military supervisor in wartime, so he has great power.

    Soon, the smile on his face faded again, because he saw that Meng Xia didn't intend to come out to greet him.

    But after all, he is a servant in the palace, even if he is unhappy, he can control his facial expressions very well.

    Just when he was about to reach the door, he stopped.

    "Is Lord Meng Xiaohou in the Zhenbeihou Mansion?"

    Cao Qin's shrill voice is like the highest note on a nine-hanging piano, harsh and high-pitched.

    When Chen Ergou heard Cao Qin's question, he added something silly,

    "My lord, where did we come from, the young master?"

    Cao Qin turned his head and glanced at Chen Ergou, but this one glance made Chen Ergou feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

    "I don't know what to call this father-in-law?"

    Meng Xia didn't intend to go out to greet him, in his opinion, the court wanted to punish him, so he had to lick his face to accept the punishment?  But it was obvious that he didn't intend to come in, so he had no choice but to go out.

    Shi Kan still sat and drank tea leisurely, regardless of the changes outside, anyway, whether the other party named him or not.

    Cao Qin had a smile on his face, but Meng Xia always felt that the other party's smile was uncomfortable, as if exuding a hint of malice.

    Meng Xia's sixth sense has always been very accurate.

    "Our family, Cao Qin, met the young master."

    As Cao Qin said, he bowed his hands to Meng Xia,

    "Our family was originally dealing with official business in Yongzhou, no, we received His Majesty's order, and were ordered to come here to proclaim the order, and we also invite the young master to accept the order."

    Cao Qin didn't take out the imperial decree. Although he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that he was signaling Meng Xia to kneel down to accept the decree.

    Meng Xia didn't move at all, as if waiting for Cao Qin's next move.  It's not that he doesn't understand etiquette, it's just that Meng Xia has never been out of Ganzhou since he was a child. The messengers from the Heavenly Family he had seen delivered orders to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but Meng Yuke never knelt down to receive the orders.

    "Coughcough"

    Seeing that Meng Xia was motionless, as if he was not enlightened, Cao Qin cleared his throat, and the officials behind him hurriedly said,

    "Little Marquis, please kneel down to receive the order."

    After Cao Qin put his hands down, he didn't want to give Meng Xia a bad blow, but the boy in front of him was so ignorant of the rules, and he himself hated the lineage of the Marquis of Zhenbei, so he just waited and watched.

    At this time, Shi Kan's deep voice came from inside the house,

    "Don't you know that in the first year of Jianchu, Marquis of Zhenbei, granted by the first emperor, could not kneel down and worship him when he saw him?"

    Cao Qin and those few officials immediately shut up, they will not say anything like 'Meng Xia is not Zhenbeihou', Zhenbeihou is a hereditary system, even if there are two young lords in the contemporary era, it is logically impossible to both  Inherit the title, but no one wants to let the one inside get a face.

    Cao Qin was able to be the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, both in terms of ability and cultivation level. He received the task from the palace yesterday and rushed to Zilin immediately to learn about the whole incident.  Knowing that not only the young master of the Zhenbeihou Mansion was among them, but also the deputy head of Qingshan Academy was involved in this matter.

    By the way, he learned about the itinerary of the two of them in recent months.  This is Cao Qin's long-standing habit, and it is also the basis for him to be able to reach the top level in the scheming twelve supervisors.

    I hate the lineage of Zhenbeihou because the two generations of Zhenbeihou rioted in the court and beheaded many senior officials of the former three supervisors, Si Li, Yuma, and Yinshou, and almost completely exchanged blood for these three supervisors.  Cao Qin's adoptive father died in that chaos. Later, he thought that the court would execute the two of them, but in the end nothing happened.

    Cao Qin's adoptive father was the eunuch of the Yumajian at that time, with great power, and he was very good to Cao Qin, his adoptive son.  Therefore, Cao Qin should have hated Zhenbeihou's lineage, but he didn't dare to take revenge when he saw the terrifying strength of Meng Ya and Meng Yu during the chaos.  And because the top position of the third prison was vacant, he was able to advance to the top.

    Therefore, his attitude towards Zhenbeihou's lineage is that he can make troubles, but he will never take the initiative to provoke them.A truly smart person will not make a move without absolute certainty, but if the time comes, he will be like a snake and a scorpion, and his move will be fatal.

    Cao Qin is obviously a smart person. Although he heard that Meng Ya's death limit is coming, he has never seen him make a move for many years. If he is cautious, he will never easily invite disaster for himself.

    Moreover, the imperial decree in the palace is also very clear, he will not embarrass Meng Xia too much, but within the scope of the rules, it is enough for Luoluo Town Beihou Mansion to show face, if not, it doesn't matter.

    "But the head of Shiyuan, can we come in and pay homage?"

    Cao Qin asked loudly.

    "The old man is old, and it is better not to see eunuchs."

    Shi Kan's words are equivalent to cursing, and others would be furious, but Cao Qin did not change his face, still with that mechanical smile,

    "Then wish the chief of the hospital good fortune and longevity."

    After all, Cao Qin directly took over the imperial decree from the officials behind him,

    "Today, I heard that Zilin's case was really outraged. Meng Xia of Zhenbeihou's Mansion defended the people and exterminated harm for the court, and gave him a Jade Blood Jade Conch Pill, one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver, as a reward.  "

    "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    Cao Qin smiled and rolled up the imperial decree, handed it to Meng Xia, and immediately congratulated,

    "Young Lord is really the pillar of the country. The county magistrate of Zilin has done such an outrageous thing, but Young Lord killed this dog for the people. It can be said to be very satisfying."

    "Eunuch Cao, you are too polite."

    As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Although Cao Qin's little tricks didn't escape Meng Xia's eyes before, it's not too embarrassing.

    However, the court's handling of this matter was a bit beyond his expectations, and even beyond the expectations of many people.

    Although Emperor Yuan Jing has only proclaimed himself emperor for thirteen years, you must know that the first emperor has ignored government affairs for ten years, and all major affairs and small affairs of the court have been handed over to the then prince Yuan Jing, so Yuan Jing has been in power for nearly 23 years  .

    No one dared to challenge the majesty of the emperor, even if he was a prince's son, he would deal with it seriously.

    Meng Xia did this, but there was no punishment, but a reward.  It made Meng Xia confused.

    "Little Marquis, do you think these rewards are placed here or sent to Qianzhou?"

    Cao Qin refers to Zhenbei Houfu.

    "It's inconvenient to put it here, so let's send it to the house."

    Is there really a problem with the title of this book?

    (?_?)

    Why are so many people complaining about the title of this book to me.  The title of my book is meaningful!  This is Mao Jiu's foreshadowing for this book!

    If you really want me to change the title of the book, why don't you help Mao Jiu think about it, Mao Jiu is not satisfied after thinking about it for several times.
