452 Participate in politics, the east wind overwhelms the west wind
The news of Qin Jiyan's disappearance has been concealed by the old emperor. Now that Qin Jiyan is safe, there is no need to tell others. On the surface, everything remains as usual.
But the fact that the old emperor didn't tell it didn't mean that others didn't know. King Zhao and King Zhou received the news of Qin Jiyan's appearance in Liyuan Village only one day later than the old emperor.
"Didn't you say that the person died? Why did he appear again?" King Zhou had a stern look on his face, and his red eyes looked like a beast that wanted to eat people.
In order to successfully ambush Qin Jiyan, he did not hesitate to sacrifice a chess piece that had been buried beside Qin Jiyan for more than ten years and gained Qin Jiyan's trust. As a result, his man was sacrificed, but Qin Jiyan was safe and sound.
In King Zhao's Mansion, King Zhao was not much better than him. After receiving the news that Qin Jiyan was safe, King Zhao snapped the pen in his hand and said, "He has a better fate than his father."
Bang... The broken pen was thrown to the ground. King Zhao stood up and said in silence for a moment: "Let them do it. I don't want any more accidents."
"I obey." A man in black quietly left to carry out King Zhao's order.
King Zhou was no exception. He immediately issued an order to his subordinates, asking them to keep a close eye on Qin Jiyan, take the opportunity to kill him outside, and never allow Qin Jiyan to return to the capital alive.
The fifth prince's source of information was poorer. It took three days to receive the news that Qin Jiyan was safe and sound from "Xiaoyao". The reason why the news from "Xiaoyao" was delayed was because "Xiaoyao" himself was injured. Until now
Just woke up.
Jing Yan is indeed powerful, and he also has some influence in Xihu, but...
No matter how strong he is, he is just a man in the world. He does not have the ability to fight against the state machine. Faced with the pursuit of tens of thousands of soldiers from Xihu, it is not easy for him to leave Xihu alive...
Jing Yan was really tricked by Qin Jiyan this time.
The fifth prince looked very ugly when he received the news that Qin Jiyan was well. Thinking of the kind words he kept saying about Qin Jiyan in front of the emperor during this period, the fifth prince felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.
"You've obviously been missing for so long, why did you come back alive?" The fifth prince had a ferocious look on his face, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
During this period of time, the emperor's unique favor and unique leadership in the court made the fifth prince truly realize how glorious it is to be a prince who is valued by the emperor. Now he doesn't want to go back to the past at all.
Not only does he want his father's favor, he also wants his father to train him as his heir and give him enough attention and rights.
"No, I will never let you replace my position in my father's heart. I am his son." The fifth prince looked anxious. He desperately wanted to find a way to ensure his position in the old emperor's heart.
But……
Before the fifth prince could think of a solution, happiness hit him on the head.
Before, the old emperor had the idea of letting the fifth prince get involved in government affairs, but Master Feng and Master Jiao secretly blocked it, so the old emperor didn't force it. But this time, the old emperor was very disappointed with Qin Jiyan, and he needed to push someone.
People come out and let Qin Jiyan see clearly the price of disobeying him.
Regardless of the objections of his ministers, the old emperor forcefully pushed the fifth prince out and handled some unimportant memorials on his behalf.
The fifth prince was struck by this surprise, and for a long time he did not dare to believe that it was true...
Although the memorials were approved on behalf of others, they were all unimportant memorials, but this honor was real. You should know that Qin Jiyan had never enjoyed this honor.
"Father..." The fifth prince was excited and frightened at the same time. He wanted to agree, but thinking of Xiaoyao's repeated warnings to him that his father did not like princes who were too power-hungry, the fifth prince suppressed the desire in his heart.
Against his will, he said that he did not have the ability, had never been involved in government affairs, and did not know how to handle memorials.
But this time the old emperor was determined to push the fifth prince out, so that Qin Jiyan would understand that he was not unique. As an emperor, he could give Qin Jiyan the unparalleled honor, but he could also take it back.
As for whether doing this will harm the fifth prince?
Originally, the old emperor wanted a pure son, and he always tried his best to protect the fifth prince and keep him away from disputes. Unfortunately, the fifth prince repeatedly disappointed the old emperor.
Don't think that because the old emperor is seriously ill, he doesn't know about the fifth prince jumping up and down. Since he is also his son and does not want to be protected by him and wants to fight for his position, then he will give the fifth prince a chance.
Which step you take depends on your ability.
Under the strong force of the old emperor, even if Master Feng and Master Jiao objected, they could not change the fact that the fifth prince had contact with government affairs.
"Sijin, what do you mean by your Majesty?" Mr. Feng's lips had been swollen for a while, so he called for Feng Sijin as soon as the court came.
The authorities were confused. There were some things in the court that he did not see as clearly as Feng Sijin, and Mr. Feng had no pressure at all to ask his son's opinion.
If his son is capable and can do more than him, he will only be happy.
"Dad, Jing Yan is back." There was a hint of sadness in Feng Sijin's eyebrows. Without waiting for Lord Feng to ask, he said, "Jing Yan said that His Highness King Qin appeared in Xihu."
"You mean..." Mr. Feng's face changed slightly, obviously he had figured it out.
Feng Sijin nodded lightly, "It's impossible for the emperor to not know." His Highness King Qin is so high-profile, how could the emperor not know?
"What exactly does King Qin want to do?" Master Feng frowned, and he found that he could not understand Qin Jiyan more and more.
"Maybe it was a test, maybe there was another purpose. In any case, after this incident, King Qin at least knew that the emperor..." was not reliable.
Feng Sijin didn't say the next words, but Lord Feng understood.
The emperor's favor is illusory. No matter how Qin Jiyan gets the favor, if he makes a wrong move or does something that displeases the emperor, the emperor can immediately take back this favor.
The emperor's favor is the most untrustworthy thing. It's a good thing that Qin Jiyan can see it clearly!
Master Feng sighed, said "The future life is to be feared" and said no more.
Qin Jiyan was not in the capital, and the old emperor was holding on to the fifth prince. For a time, the fifth prince was unparalleled in the capital, and even Master Feng had to give way to him.
When the news from the capital reached Qin Jiyan, it was already ten days later. Qin Jiyan had expected both the old emperor's reaction and the direction of the wind in the court.
Although Qin Jiyan didn't know the old emperor very well, he could guess at least half of his thoughts.
The older the emperor gets, the more arbitrary, self-righteous, and even suspicious he becomes. Even if the commander of the Jinyi Guards is not sure from the beginning to the end that the person who appears in Xihu is himself, the emperor will definitely think it is him when he hears that, and he will not change it easily.
.
He had never had high hopes for the old emperor, so Qin Jiyan was never disappointed. Fortunately, in addition to these bad news, there was also some good news, and that was...
