275 The Second Prince Invites
"Young Master Song, as a descendant of the Song family, have you never thought about rehabilitating Zhaoxue for your grandfather?" the second prince asked quickly.
When Song Que heard the second prince confirm his identity, his body trembled.
After a long while, he handed over his hands and saluted the second prince.
"In the common people below, people speak softly and don't dare to have delusions."
In his previous life, it was because of these words that he resolutely followed the second prince and left Lingquan Town.
Then assist him and climb to a high position step by step.
But in this life, he has worries and just wants to find peace in a corner.
It doesn't make much sense to revive the Song family and restore the glory of their ancestors.
The second prince looked at Song Que, thinking he was being polite.
"What if I, the prince, can help you?" Then he said.
Song Hong's descendants were naturally helpful to him.
In addition, he did not want to give up on generals like Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin's refusal to join him was simply because of his identity as a woman and his reluctance to part with such a beautiful husband as her.
If he brings her husband with him, Mr. Qin will naturally follow him.
If he can get these two people this time, he will make a lot of money during his trip to Hua'an Mansion.
Song Que paused.
"Thank you very much for the kindness of the second prince. However, my grandfather made a final statement before his death. He asked my father to take his family away from the capital. He also asked that no descendant of the Song family should enter the court within thirty years."
This is why his father allowed him to enter the academy late and was not in a hurry for him to pass the imperial examination.
In fact, strictly speaking, before my father passed away, there was still a long time before the thirty-year agreement made by my grandfather.
However, his father had high hopes for him and no longer cared much about the thirty-year agreement.
The second prince was stunned.
Then he glanced at Song Que.
"Thirty years -" he muttered.
"The reason why Prime Minister Song set the thirty-year period was because he felt that Empress Jia and her party could not monopolize power for thirty years."
"But the facts prove that Prime Minister Song still thinks highly of Empress Jia's party."
"Nowadays, the health of Empress Jia and her father are getting worse day by day. Whether it is the imperial family or the ministers in the court, the opposition to Empress Jia is getting stronger and stronger."
"The end of Empress Jia will happen sooner or later." In other words, once the father of the emperor comes to heaven and everyone has nothing to worry about, Empress Jia will soon fall.
Song Que was silent.
In his previous life, after he surrendered to the second prince, the emperor passed away only two years later.
Afterwards, the second prince led troops into the palace and forced Empress Jia to return the palace to the imperial family and make him the next crown prince.
After the second prince ascended the throne, he indeed rehabilitated the Song family and promoted him to become the new prime minister.
Looking at it today, the current Empress Jia is in her twilight years just like the emperor. Without being ruthless enough, her control over the court is indeed not as good as before.
If he is willing, he only needs to follow the path of his previous life again.
Glory, wealth, prestige and reputation will be at your fingertips.
It's a pity that he no longer wants to follow the same path of his life.
The second prince looked at Song Que and felt a little annoyed when he saw that he didn't answer.
I felt that Song Que was pedantic and ignorant of flexibility. At the same time, I also suspected that I had misjudged the person.
But thinking of Qin Xiaoyao, he felt that he had to fight for Song Que again.
Just as he was about to speak, Qin Xiaoyao came back.
When he saw his husband inside the house, he was standing stiffly facing the second prince, not daring to raise his head. He was a little surprised.
When the second prince saw Qin Xiaoyao, he quickly changed his expression and asked Song Que to go back and sit down.
Song Que was not polite, bowed his hands to the second prince, and sat back down.
Qin Xiaoyao didn't ask any further questions and stepped forward to pour tea for the second prince.
Then, he poured a glass for Song Que and himself.
Then he sat down and invited the second prince to drink tea.
The second prince was very eager to recruit Qin Xiaoyao and was very cooperative.
"I haven't had such a leisurely cup of tea in a long time." After taking a sip of tea, the second prince sighed.
This tea is naturally not a good tea.
However, the mood he was in when drinking tea at the moment was extremely rare.
In the past few years, because of Empress Jia's discord with neighboring countries, the imperial court had almost been fighting abroad.
This time I came to Hua'an Prefecture to suppress the rebellion, and finally came to Lingquan Town, which is considered a rather special time.
Then, now that the New Year was approaching, he was allowed to station troops in Lingquan Town and rested until after the Lantern Festival, ushering in a rare period of peace.
This was the first time that he felt that the quality of tea does not depend on the tea leaves and the skill of the person who makes the tea, but on the mood of the person who drinks the tea.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled, "That's because the second prince has many affairs."
"If you are willing to take some time off from your busy schedule, there are a lot of teas like this." Although the tea she bought was not bad, it was not the best either.
It is absolutely impossible to win this person's attention based on the quality of tea leaves alone.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was not restrained when talking to him, but was very comfortable, the second prince felt a little happy.
"What you said makes sense, sir."
"It's just that the imperial court asked me to station in Lingquan Town and manage county affairs, so it's hard for me to have free time..." The second prince sighed.
As he said that, he looked at Song Que again.
"In the past, mountain bandits rebelled and killed wantonly. Many officials in the county were killed. Now, in the entire Zhao County, there are not many available people..."
Qin Xiaoyao heard the meaning in the second prince's tone and followed the second prince's gaze to look at Song Que.
"The Second Prince is short of manpower?" Then he asked the Second Prince with a smile.
It was obvious that he was interested in her husband-in-law.
But if you just help organize the county affairs, it will be a good opportunity for my husband.
Going to the Yamen to become familiar with him will also be beneficial to Xianggong's subsequent development.
After hearing Qin Xiaoyao's question, Song Que looked at his wife.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyao blinking at him, someone felt helpless.
Faced with the Second Prince's solicitation just now, he withstood the pressure and chose to refuse.
But his wife doesn’t understand him...
But - forget it, the second prince won't stay in Lingquan Town for a long time anyway. If he just goes to the Yamen to help handle some affairs, it actually doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, Song Que smiled back at Qin Xiaoyao.
The second prince noticed the interaction between the couple and found it interesting that Song Que actually cooperated.
"Of course there is a shortage of people. In addition to visiting you this time, I also want to ask you to do something for the yamen." The second prince took advantage of the situation and answered.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
"Should I go too?" he asked.
She could understand why he asked her to be her husband-in-law. After all, her husband-in-law was in Lingquan Town before and he was quite talented.
But what's going on with her?
She also doesn't understand government affairs. Apart from her strength, she doesn't seem to have anything worthy of the second prince's attention.
The second prince smiled and nodded.
"Sir, he is very skilled in martial arts. If you can agree to help train soldiers and horses in the army, the soldiers will definitely benefit a lot."
"As for Mr. Song, you can go to the Yamen to help."
After hearing the previous sentence, Qin Xiaoyao was a little reluctant.
But after hearing the latter sentence, she didn't want to affect her husband-in-law because of her refusal.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she, a martial arts master, was obviously much more popular with the Second Prince than her husband.
