Chapter 422 The Imperial Mausoleum is a bit weird
Qin Min'an: "Nannan, your mental power is almost at level 10.
The imperial mausoleum is so abnormal that even your special powers can be blocked out.
We must find Shangguan Hong as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in real danger."
The three of them chatted until they arrived at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.
Seeing that the previous group of people who went in to look for someone had not returned yet, Prime Minister Zhao was thinking about whether to send the next group of people in.
But he was stopped by Qin Jingnian.
"Prime Minister Zhao, there is something unusual about the imperial mausoleum. It will be useless no matter how many of your men you send in. Wait until my sister comes back and I will go in and take a look."
Prime Minister Zhao knew the Qin family's abilities, and upon hearing this, he solemnly bowed to Qin Jingnian:
"If you, Qin Xiaoyou, can bring my emperor out safely, Zhao will definitely treat you as a guest of honor from now on."
"Brother, we are here."
Qin Jingnian and Zhao Chengxiang turned around and looked at the same time.
Prime Minister Zhao saw two unfamiliar faces around Qin Wan.
Prime Minister Zhao: "Who are these two?"
Qin Jingnian:
"My parents."
"So you are the prince of Ding. I have heard of your great name for a long time."
Qin Min'an followed with a few polite words:
"Thank you for the compliment. Prime Minister Zhao, a veteran of three dynasties, is well-known in the four countries. It is my honor to meet you today."
People like to hear nice words, even if they are polite.
Qin Min'an's words made Prime Minister Zhao like him more.
He has a high status and great abilities, and most importantly, he is humble and good at speaking. Who wouldn't like such a young person?
At the same time, Prime Minister Zhao also realized one thing.
Almost all the powerful members of the Qin family appeared in the Western Qi Imperial Mausoleum.
What does this mean? It means that their emperor's disappearance this time is not simple.
In addition, the previous group of people who went in to look for the emperor did not come out for a long time.
Prime Minister Zhao was keenly aware that there were forces unknown to him that were threatening the safety of his emperor.
And this force is most likely the Changsheng Sect that the emperor talked to him about last time.
Prime Minister Zhao had never personally experienced the evil side of the Changsheng Sect, but he had learned about it from the storybook Zhuxie Ji and the stories told by their emperor.
That's not something ordinary people can deal with.
Glancing at the people around him, he saw that most of the officials were there.
In order to avoid causing panic among the officials, Prime Minister Zhao resisted the urge to ask the Qin family whether they were members of the Changsheng Sect who had infiltrated the imperial mausoleum.
He only bowed solemnly to Qin Min'an again:
"Please trouble Prince Qin to come to Xiqi in person. If our emperor can be safe and sound this time, Xiqi will definitely reward him handsomely."
Qin Min'an bowed:
"You're welcome."
The Qin family was about to enter the imperial mausoleum when someone suddenly stood out from the crowd:
"Wait a moment!"
Several people stopped.
Then a man about 20 years old walked out from among the officials.
The man had a big belly, was covered in fat, and had a face full of lust and greed.
The most noticeable thing about him is that he has a pair of squinty eyes, the kind that you can't see his eyes when he smiles.
"Prime Minister, you know exactly who these people are. What are you planning on letting them into my Xiqi Imperial Mausoleum?"
The man looked arrogant, and his fat face looked at Prime Minister Zhao with a condemning expression like a messenger of justice.
Prime Minister Zhao had a blank expression on his face. He looked at the man quietly with the dignified eyes of a senior official from three dynasties.
"You are a young man without any achievements. Who gave you the courage to question the decision of the real one?"
Song Huaimin felt uneasy when Prime Minister Zhao looked at him as if he could see through everything.
Thinking of his father's instructions, Song Huaimin bravely continued:
"Don't use your power to pressure me. My grandmother is the Grand Princess. Whenever the Emperor sees my grandmother, he always respectfully calls her aunt!
I am the emperor's cousin.
The emperor is not here now, so I have the right to ask on his behalf:
Prime Minister Zhao, aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the royal family of Xiqi will blame you for letting the prince of another country enter the imperial mausoleum of Xiqi?
If the prince of Dayueding has evil intentions, destroys the imperial mausoleum, and disturbs the peace of the royal ancestors, can you bear the responsibility for this crime, Prime Minister?
There was a flash of surprise in Prime Minister Zhao's eyes. It was unexpected that Song Huaimin, a fool, could say such things with logic and evidence.
But Prime Minister Zhao soon figured it out.
The idiot couldn't say it, but his scheming father, the Prince of the County, could say it.
Prime Minister Zhao did not get angry but laughed. He looked at the crowd and spoke loudly:
"Prince of Hexi, does your boy mean what you mean?"
The Prince of Hexi watched the show for a long time, and when he saw that his son had been exposed, he had to stand up.
Prime Minister Zhao, this old bastard!
The Prince of Hexi cursed silently in his heart, but said with a smile on his face:
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please forgive me for making fun of you. I am a rude boy. I am young and full of energy and always like to tell the truth.
The Prime Minister is a veteran of three dynasties and is highly respected. He should not be on the same level as this kid."
These were some veiled words. If Prime Minister Zhao had the leisure to argue with him in the court on normal days, he would have done so.
But now the most important thing is to find the emperor, and Prime Minister Zhao has no time to talk nonsense with him.
He looked directly at the officials:
“The prince of Dayue, Prince Ding, is a good friend of the emperor. His family is very capable, and they entered the imperial mausoleum to find the emperor.
The emperor is not here, I have the final say, anyone who dares to complain will be kicked out directly. "
"The Prime Minister is right. It is important to find the Emperor now. If anyone starts to complain and delay our search for the Emperor, I, Lin Shu, will be the first to disagree."
The one who was speaking, Lin Shu, was a Grand Secretary.
He was also a well-known figure in the officialdom of Xiqi.
He was a typical nobleman from a poor family. He topped every exam, from the county exam to the provincial exam to the palace exam.
After becoming an official, he wrote books and was deeply loved by young students and young officials.
Prime Minister Zhao is a representative of the older officials.
Both of them expressed their opinions at the same time, and no official disagreed.
Then all the officials spoke in unison:
"We are willing to listen to the Prime Minister's arrangements."
No one paid any attention to the father and son of the Song family. They were left aside by all the officials like clowns.
Song Huaimin was used to being a fool and was completely unaware of the officials' rejection.
The Prince of Hexi's face turned pale.
And cursed silently in my heart.
This time even Lin Shu was scolded.
Damn Lin Shu, doesn’t he usually stay out of the fight between him and old man Zhao?
What's the fun this time?
Lin Shu is joining in the fun this time because he was also one of the envoys who went to Emperor Dayue’s birthday celebration last time.
Da Yue's experience left a deep impression on Lin Shu.
He also has a deep understanding of the Qin family's abilities.
He believed that if the Qin family wanted to harm Xiqi, none of the Xiqi officials present would be able to escape.
Although it is not known why Prime Minister Zhao, who has always been cautious, trusts the Qin family so much, Prime Minister Zhao will definitely not do anything detrimental to Xiqi.
Prime Minister Zhao bowed to Qin Min'an apologetically:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Prince Qin. We'll leave the Emperor in your care."
The dispute among the Xiqi people just now gave the Qin family a wake-up call.
There may also be Zhu Cihou's followers among the high-ranking officials of Xiqi.
The whole family couldn't go in.
What if they all went in, and someone did something bad outside the imperial mausoleum and trapped their family inside?
One person has to stay outside to guard.
Finally, they unanimously decided to let Qin Min'an stay.
If you want to stay, you should stay, but if you want to ridicule something, you should still ridicule it.
