"Besides, Your Majesty, have you heard of it?"
"What have you heard?"
Zhao Xin was clueless. He had never inquired about such matters before. Besides, it wasn't his place to ask about such matters. At most, the Grand Council could inquire about it, but it would be hard to say whether they were willing to investigate such trivial matters.
"I haven't heard anything about the Li family. Is there something big happening soon?"
"The Li family... Your Majesty, are you really unaware?"
…
If he knew, would he still ask?
"Your Majesty, the Li family was once a well-known and powerful family. I heard that they also merged their territory to become an aristocratic family. The Qin Dynasty did fight for this place before."
The country has become a family, so it seems that he needs to investigate the history of the Qin Dynasty.
"Are there any other events?"
"The previous Li family... was a bit perverted."
"What?"
"The Li family used to be obsessed with pleasure and was praised and rewarded by many emperors. However, it is because of their endless torture methods that people are overwhelmed. If Your Majesty saw this, you would know the benefits and disadvantages of the Li family."
Seeking pleasure.
"Why, how come the Li family makes you say such amazing things?"
"I heard that the Li family is a mobile Ministry of Punishment."
Wow, how awesome is it to receive such a good reputation?
Zhao Xin also admired it. If his country had such talents, he would surely torture them all.
"Are you serious?"
"really."
That's easy.
"Then I will pretend to be a tyrant, living a life of luxury and debauchery. I will then act like a fool and arouse suspicion. In the end, I will summon the important figures of the Li family to come and give me a plan."
How to torture them all to death.
Do you really think he is made of dough by openly rebelling in front of him?
This is so infuriating.
"…Your Majesty, there's really no need for you to do this."
"Your Majesty, if you really want to play tricks on these six major families, you can give it a try. But now, forget about playing tricks. Even if the family feud has already reached its head, even if you kill the first person, there will definitely be another one."
In the end, one thing after another made it impossible to find peace.
After there is no peace, the entire army will be annihilated.
Zhao Xin couldn't tolerate it.
"But I... think this person can really help me solve my problems."
Zhuge smiled.
What's the point of relieving worries and solving problems? I'm afraid it can only make yourself amused and relieve boredom.
"By the way, Your Majesty, where did the stone dragon outside come from?"
This problem has arisen again.
"I don't know, but I haven't explored this issue specifically. Besides, since such valuable items are placed here, he can't move them away anyway."
What a magnificent thing.
"Then your majesty, have you ever considered that this thing might be a frame-up?"
“…You’re overthinking it.”
"This place and these people belong to me. Besides, since they are all on my land, how could there be any other problems?"
Forget it, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
"Well, Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Besides, Your Majesty, could you please condescend to the palace later? It seems that there are some uninvited guests."
"Hanlin Academy?"
"Side hall."
?
Isn't the side hall always used for entertaining people? Why are there so many uninvited guests now?
"And since I arrived, they have been using your name to abuse the palace maids and eunuchs in the side halls, which is enough to make them miserable."
Zhao Xin walked over and then looked in the direction of the side hall.
There was quite a commotion inside.
"You, you, you, it's you, why don't you bring it to me quickly!"
"You, you, you, what are you doing standing here? Hurry up and bring the bath water. Do you know I take three baths a day?"
"You, you, you, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and serve it. Don't you know I'm busy?"
And so on.
She was even more chaotic than the most talkative concubine in the harem. She kept giving instructions to others to do this and that and wouldn't let them stop. The maids and eunuchs in the whole palace were in a mess of chattering.
"Hey, what are you doing? You're eating while taking a bath, and you're even groping me, a maid. How can you be so arrogant?"
Zhao Xin walked slowly towards the screen and then looked at the face, and saw the almost familiar and unusual face.
"Qi Peng, you've eaten too much. What the hell are you doing?"
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Qi Peng, the crown prince of the Eastern Wu, the fool who had been framed and sealed earlier.
"Your Majesty, I have come here specifically to speak to you. Besides...your servants are incredibly active. How about giving them all to me?"
What a big tone.
"I'm going to give you a big slap in the face. Hurry up and put on your clothes. Why are you taking a bath in broad daylight?"
Then he pretended to be furious and threw the thing in his hand on it, allowing Qi Peng to see it clearly. When he saw his own seal on it, he widened his eyes and was stunned.
"My, my seal?"
He was completely stunned. His father had said he was going out for training, and he had gone with him. He had originally planned to stay with him in Daqin for a while and then pretend to have a trial before returning. A place like the Imperial Palace was truly the safest place.
Just sit here like a guest.
As a result, this kind of thing happened. Could it be that his trial ended early?
"Yes, take a good look at your seal. Look carefully. This is your seal."
Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and looked at the man with burning eyes as he put on his clothes and shoes. He looked like a beast in human clothing, which was really laughable.
Qi Peng was also confused. It turned out that the seal on it was indeed his own.
"What are the other seals on it?"
"The other seals above are for the six great families. The Grand Council gave me a reply. I heard that you have joined forces with these six great families in order to overthrow my rule."
“…”
"Your Majesty, you really believe it, don't you?"
"What do you think? Now that the facts are in front of me, how can I not believe it?"
Qi Peng stared at this thing in a daze. This thing was not an empty imperial edict that he had specially sent out. There was only a signature and seal on it, and the things written on it were something he had never seen before.
"Your Majesty... please believe me. I would never do something that would harm others and not benefit myself. Besides, we are close friends, childhood friends. How could I possibly harm you?"
Even with this explanation, Zhao Xin just wanted to see what kind of response he would give.
"I know, but whether you did it or not is still up for discussion, so the most important thing you should do is to prove your innocence."
"Your Majesty, I am innocent."
This simple and crude sentence left both Zhao Xin and Zhuge dumbfounded.
That’s it?
