On the cloud viewing platform, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone taking Qin Jiaoyue in.
However, before he could take a breath, he saw the man suddenly tightening the reins, and the horse ran wildly in another direction, and soon turned into a path invisible to the Cloud Observation Tower and disappeared.
Meng Yinxun was shocked: "Hey, eh? What's going on? Who made the arrangements just now? Didn't you point out the direction for the prince to go?"
The old eunuch Cui Eunuch, who had been with Meng Yinxun for most of his life, quickly explained for his young apprentice: "This must have pointed out the direction. Your Majesty, don't be anxious, just in case that person knows a shortcut and takes a detour!"
The emperor frowned: "Hey, that's not right. Why do I look at that boy a little strangely?"
Eunuch Cui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that person is the young master of Shang, Shang Chengming!"
Meng Yinxun was very affectionate towards Shang Hou.
How should I put it, without the almost endless financial support of Shang Hou, he would have lost at least half of his country.
"Oh? It turns out he is the young master of the Shanghou family! That's okay, he will definitely not lose Yue'er!"
Over the past hundred years, generations of leaders of the Dazhao Kingdom have tried to confiscate the business operations of merchants, but unfortunately, no matter how many businesses were confiscated, in the end there was no suitable person to run and manage them, and in the end they were either completely wiped out by corruption, or they lost money directly.
Fortunately, the merchants never cared about this and remained loyal to the Great Zhao Kingdom, supporting the national treasury for hundreds of years, so this feeling has been cultivated over generations!
Queen: "..."
Is this a question of whether to lose it or not?
Originally, he was still angry that the Holy Emperor took it upon himself to let Qin Jiaoyue come to participate in the hunting, hoping to cultivate the relationship between the prince and Qin Jiaoyue.
But at this moment, she was even more angry that the Holy Emperor didn't take the prince's future princess seriously and actually let her wander around the hunting grounds with a man!
So the queen quickly glanced at Concubine Liu who was standing aside.
Concubine Liu thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to send secret guards to chase the person back. After all, Miss Qin is still young. It would be fine if she followed the prince for fun, but if she really went hunting, it would still be a bit dangerous!
"
But Meng Yinxun waved his hand: "It's okay, that young businessman... uh, what is his name?"
Eunuch Cui quickly said: "Shang Chengming!"
Meng Yinxun was about to continue talking when he heard Concubine Liu suddenly whisper: "Shang Chengming? This, this seems to be the boy who beheaded the son of the city guard in the street seven years ago?"
The queen covered her mouth and exclaimed: "What? It's him?"
Seven years ago, although the son of the city guard was the first to bully men and women, he was chopped down by a yellow-haired boy in the street. The incident was still too bloody and alarmed the entire imperial capital.
If the merchant's husband hadn't reacted quickly and left with his wife and children overnight, even if the Holy One forcibly protected him, even though he didn't have an overt gun, it would have been difficult to guard against hidden arrows!
Later, the imperial guard in Chengdu was arrested and cut in half for corruption, but the merchant's husband-in-law never came back.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, that brat Shang Chengming would be so cowardly that he would come back alone.
Meng Yinxun frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered this.
"Oh, I just felt like I forgot to ask something when I was chatting with Shang Hou that day. It turns out that this is what I couldn't remember!"
"But fortunately, the city guard has been cut in half for several years because of corruption and bending the law. That boy came back as soon as he came back. What's so strange about that?"
