In March in Beijing, although early spring has arrived, there is still a bit of coldness in the air.
Between the pavilions and pavilions of the Imperial Garden, in front of a pool.
Peidi was sitting on a small horse, holding a fishing rod in his hand, looking calmly at the fish coming and going in the pool, but not biting the hook.
Behind him, only Eunuch Chu was accompanying him, while the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting cautiously further away.
I don’t know how long it took, but it started to rain lightly in the sky.
Pei Di remained unmoved, just looking at the pool in front of him.
Eunuch Chu had no expression on his face, he just glanced at the palace maid behind him, and soon someone brought an umbrella.
After taking the umbrella and opening it, before Eunuch Chu came to Di Pei's side, Pei Di's voice rang out.
"No need."
Eunuch Chu paused slightly.
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important."
"My body is not that weak."
As he spoke, Emperor Pei seemed to be a little more interested. He turned back to look at Eunuch Chu with a smile on his face.
"Why, you also think that I am too weak and need to be taken care of carefully?"
"I don't dare, old slave."
"Ha, I don't dare." Pei Di sneered and looked back into the pool.
After a while, the rain gradually became heavier.
Eunuch Chu stepped forward again, but before he could open the umbrella, he was forced to put down his hands by Emperor Pei's gaze, and could only stand beside Emperor Pei in the rain together.
"The fish in this pool are too timid. It's because your dragon is so powerful that they don't dare to come close." Eunuch Chu said in a low voice, "If your Majesty wants to fish, you can leave the palace and go to the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing another day.
, there is a treasure pool there..."
"Boring."
Before Eunuch Chu could finish what he said, Emperor Pei put down his fishing rod, got up and walked to the palace.
Seeing this, Eunuch Chu quickly opened his umbrella again and followed.
This time, Pei Di did not refuse.
As he walked, Emperor Pei asked, "Mr. Chu, did you serve the late emperor like this back then?"
Mr. Chu's penis lowered even deeper.
"It's more meticulous than the late emperor. Speaking of which, your majesty is very similar to the late emperor. He always doesn't like us minions taking care of everything in detail."
"Ha, my father has this kind of temper...Mr. Chu."
"The slave is here."
"How did my father die?"
Eunuch Chu's expression was stagnant, not only because of the problem of Emperor Pei, but also because of the change in his name for the late emperor.
His tone no longer sounded like the lonely Emperor of Qin, but rather like an ordinary young man in his early thirties.
But the more this happened, the more Eunuch Chu did not dare to neglect.
Especially in today's critical market.
"Your Majesty should know that the late emperor was weak in body and became ill due to overwork. He died in his position."
"This is what everyone says." Peidi said.
"yes..."
"What I want is the real cause of death."
Qin Pei looked at Eunuch Chu for a moment, feeling that his nodding and bowing appearance was really ugly, so he looked away again.
"Why didn't you reply?"
"Your Majesty, this is the real cause of death of the late emperor."
Hearing this, Qin Pei took two steps faster.
He paused before reaching the bedroom.
He waved his hand and dismissed the waiting maids and eunuchs, leaving only Eunuch Chu.
"Mr. Chu..."
Eunuch Chu was shocked and fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, you must not call me this. I cannot afford it."
Seeing this, Qin Pei bent down and helped Eunuch Chu up.
Seeing the panic on Eunuch Chu's face, Qin Pei sighed
One sound.
"Tired?"
Eunuch Chu was confused.
Qin Pei continued to ask: "As a monk who has entered Taoism, you have to grovel like this in front of a mere kid like me. Aren't you tired after so many years?"
"Your Majesty, where are you? It's my blessing that I can serve you."
"It is your blessing to be adopted by the Qin family. Although I am the second son of the Qin family, I am not worthy of such respect as a Taoist monk like you."
"Old slave..."
"The night before my father passed away, he met me once." Qin Pei said suddenly.
This time, Eunuch Chu suddenly shrank, and even straightened up subconsciously, looking at Emperor Pei with a stern look. This look showed that he could not bear the treason he said.
Then he reacted and hurriedly bent down.
Qin Pei was not surprised by this.
"Before my father died, he said that he was going to Panlong Mountain, and then he never came back. He said that he died of illness due to overwork in office, but I, as his son, have never seen his body. I just saw his body.
It’s just a coffin.”
Seeing that Eunuch Chu was silent, Qin Pei smiled and said, "Mr. Chu... if I go to the ancestral tomb and open my father's coffin, do you think I can see his remains?"
"His Majesty..."
Qin Pei shook his head slightly.
"Okay, I'm tired, you can go down."
"Old slave, please retire."
Eunuch Chu bowed to the end, then turned around and hurried away from the palace.
Emperor Pei kept staring at his back until he was completely gone, and then he finally looked away.
"It's really unfortunate to be born into the Qin family."
Qin Pei turned around and walked into the palace.
"If the throne of Great Qin is really that good, why doesn't my cousin come to take over? When my grandfather was in power, he was the eldest grandson, and he is the one who should sit on the throne, so why does it have to be me?"
"Grandpa doesn't want to tell me, and dad doesn't want to tell me either... I guess they have already accepted their fate."
Qin Pei turned back and looked outside the palace, looking at the towering mountains beyond the layers of high walls.
"Panlong Mountain, the place where the dragons of my Qin family arose...what is there on top?"
Thinking of his own grandfather, the former Mian Emperor who had been sitting on Panlong Mountain for countless years, Qin Pei increasingly felt that that might be his fate in the future.
Born in the Qin family, he has seen the vastness of the world, but now this worldly power is nothing to him after all.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Pei shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Can't jump out."
"Can't you really jump out?"
"Humph, I don't think so."
...
Chief Office of Supervisor Tiansi.
Lan Zeying frowned and looked at the imperial edict in his hand.
He recognized that the handwriting was not written by a Hanlin official from the Hanlin Academy, but an imperial edict written by Emperor Pei himself.
Beside Lan Zeying, his cronies took two steps closer and asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you mean?"
"Go tell Yin Hu that the position of You Tianguan will not be his turn." Lan Zeying put down the imperial edict, "Emperor Pei appointed Lin Jina to fill the vacancy of You Tianguan. There is no way to mediate the matter.
I can do it."
Hearing this, the confidant frowned and said, "But you have been planning for a long time in order to put Yin Hu in the position. Now there are finally few objections in the Supervisory Department. Now let Lin Ji take the position..."
"Your Majesty's handwriting is unquestionable."
Lan Zeying tapped her fingertips on the table.
"It doesn't matter, it's just that there is an extra Lin Ji. It won't affect the overall situation."
