After reading the imperial edict, Qin Shaoyou became silent instead.

This imperial edict was beyond his expectations.

He had been speculating on the methods that Wei Shi had afterwards, and the imperial edict kept thinking that Wei Shi would take the opportunity to retaliate. Of course... the revenge was indeed coming, but this revenge was a little different from the past.

There are only a few words in the imperial edict.

Qin Shaoguege defeated Wei Hongmin's rebels. Because of his merits, he was named King of Qin, controlled Shence Mansion, and controlled Henan Mansion and the five towns of Zhaoyi.

This is definitely a great gift. The so-called King of Qin is the prince. It is obviously higher than the King of Hongnong. With this identity, Qin Shaoyou is almost below one person and above millions of people.

only……

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help laughing. He glanced at Wu Zetian and said, "I guess His Majesty has seen this imperial edict?"

Wu Zetian pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I have seen it. Should I congratulate His Highness the King of Qin?" Wu Zetian smiled with a sarcastic tone.

Congratulations? Qin Shaoyou was in a complicated mood for a moment. This is certainly a happy event. After all, he has finally reached the peak of his life. Logically speaking, it is indeed a joyful congratulation. If anyone had received such a decree, he would have to be overjoyed and would have to hold a year and a half to celebrate.

However... Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly and said, "Why do you need to laugh at Wei? If Wei does this, your Majesty should know what's going on."

Wu Zetian chuckled and said, "I know what you think. What you want to say is Wei's intention to cover up people's eyes, right? Now everyone in the world is talking about her collusion with Wei Hongmin, but now she is named the king in the name of your attack on Wei Hongmin. This is naturally to tell the world that she is also very pleased to kill Wei Hongmin. Wouldn't it just clear her suspicion of being in collusion with Wei Hongmin?"

"Besides, if you are the king of you, I'm afraid you will be temporarily stabilized. But it's not good for her to be the king of Qin, but it's a bit interesting. Emperor Taizong was the King of Qin at the time. Isn't this point of saying that you are the Emperor of Taizong in the future? In this way, people in the world were still talking about the Wei family, but now, I'm afraid that as soon as the King of Qin came out, I don't know how many people would criticize you, King of Qin... Haha... In this Tang Dynasty, it's a taboo. If you get involved, it may not be a good thing."

"As for the relationship between the prince and the prince, it's just a status. It's nothing to pay attention to the status, but it's no big deal if you don't care about it. It's actually a joke to let you control the five towns. These five towns are firmly in your hands, Qin Shaoyou. Do you still need the imperial seal? She is using verbal benefits to push you to the forefront, which is equivalent to throwing a hot potato into your hands, it depends on whether you want it."

"If you want it, I believe that the world will surely be boiling in the next place. Many people will criticize you, saying that you, Shaoyou, are so virtuous, and dare to accept the position of King Qin. But if you refuse, Wei will definitely refuse. If you refuse again and again, it will be even worse. If she accepts it with the flow, not only will the position of King Qin be gone, but also the benefits of a legitimate control of one mansion and five towns will be gone. At that time, she has done enough face. Look, she originally wanted to give you the position of King Qin. She also let you take charge of the rule of governing the king of Qin.

You can make one government and five towns, but you don’t accept it yourself. You have done a lot of effort on this side. Since you don’t accept it, you must naturally praise you well. Then the court can openly and continue to mix sand in these five towns. You lack the title of governing the five towns. Even if you actually control the five towns, it will be incorrect and all the initiative will be held in her hands. If she does some small moves from time to time, I guess Luoyang will be untiring, right?"

Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly in his heart. This is actually what he wanted to say.

The key to the problem lies in the King of Qin. A King of Qin can divert the focus of the world, and at the same time... can also put yourself in a dilemma.

Weiss is generous on the surface, but in fact, he pushes himself to the forefront, afraid that after the news spreads, everyone's attention will be on him.

Moreover... there will be many hidden dangers in the future. What Wei lost is just an imperial edict, because the prince and the prince may be crucial to others and an insurmountable threshold. But at the level of Qin Shaoyou, is it really important?

Furthermore, the five towns now belong to Qin Shaoyou, and everyone was tacitly informed and there would be no controversy. The Zheng family, which was once controversial, has now been obeyed.

Once he repeatedly refused to the throne of King Qin, the King of Qin and the Five Towns were tied together by Wei. If he resigned King of Qin, it would be equivalent to losing the legitimacy of the Five Towns. The relationship was not determined for a day, so who knows what troubles would be in the future.

"What Your Majesty said is that this is also something that I am worried about, but I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, I am supposed to be?"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile and said, "I can't take this idea. I want to hear what your opinions are?"

Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment, but said firmly: "I don't want any prince. But the position of this prince is very important now. Wei tied the prince to the five towns, so I am determined to win the position of this prince."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "If it's someone else, you must be shy for a few times. You're good, but you're not polite at all. However... Now, it's not a time to be shy. You have to be strong on your own. You're right. This prince, whether I or you, should be determined to win, but... it's difficult. People's words are terrifying. If you accept the position of King Qin with peace of mind, wouldn't you just be defeated by Wei's trick? She wishes you would arouse criticism from all over the world."

Qin Shaoyou was also amused and crying. This is indeed a dilemma. Acceptance means criticism from countless people. The word King of Qin is equivalent to the emperor. Qin Shaoyou, a different surname, dares to accept the King of Qin. Isn’t this seeking death?

but……

Qin Shaoyou seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what if the Wei family was not the King of Qin?"

no……

Wu Zetian thought about something.

If it weren't for the King of Qin, Qin Shaoyou would have the qualification.

Of course, if it had been twenty or thirty years ago, it would have caused great controversy, but now the world is very different. When Wu Zetian ascended the throne, how many people from the Wu family were appointed as kings? Since then, the Wei family has not yet revealed its true form. He can't wait to be crowned kings by his relatives.

Now this king has almost become a toy in the hands of these people. Although it is not as valuable as it is, it is really flooding.

Qin Shaoyou has made so many real contributions. What's more, he has held the Shen Ce Army and the support of the Kanto gentry, how could he not be qualified to wear a prince's hat?

Wu Zetian thoughtfully said, "If it weren't for the King of Qin, things would be easier. So, have you already got an idea?"

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile and said, "Actually, it's just that soldiers come to block the water and soil. This is like a quarrel. As long as you occupy the reason and let go of the other party's weaknesses."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The news that Qin Shaoyou was named King of Qin actually spread throughout the world very quickly. Such a fast speed was naturally due to the fuel of those who were interested.

As soon as this happened, the world's controversy suddenly became fierce.

In any case, at least most people still have a lot of feelings for the Emperor of the Li family, especially for Emperor Taizong.

Back then, when Emperor Taizong was there, it was a prosperous era. Now... what has it become.

People are always like this and are always willing to indulge in the past. Now, Qin Shaoyou is actually going to be named King of Qin, so many people are naturally unhappy.

Let’s not talk about other things. Just say that you, Qin Shaoyou, now you, also have the troops and horses. If you accept the King of Qin, is it because you want to rebel? Do you want to be the second Emperor Taizong? Are you, Qin Shaoyou, worthy?

Many censors have already flew into the palace like snowflakes. The streets and alleys are even more controversial.

Compared to Wei's evil deeds, this is a major event that is important to everyone. If Qin Shaoyou dares to accept it, it is a rebellion. If this is a serious rebellion in the future, what should we do?

Although the Henan Prefecture is still quite peaceful, it seems like it is in trouble in Guanzhong, Hebei, Jiangnan, Jiannan, and Longxi.

Everyone was obviously waiting, waiting for Qin Shaoyou's reaction. In fact, everyone had the greatest hope that Qin Shaoyou could return to the position of King Qin and insisted on not being the King of Qin.

Of course, what is even more terrifying is the rumors. The King of Qin seemed to be some kind of hint. Everyone was used to the King of Hongnong County, Qin Shaoyou, and they all knew that the King of Hongnong County had made many contributions, and they also knew that he had the most elite Shen Ce Army in the world. They also knew that his Henan Prefecture seemed to have a very prosperous life, but... But once Qin Shaoyou and King of Qin were connected, many people became extremely terrified.

Yes, Qin Shaoyou wants money, food, and soldiers. Would he not take it seriously and rebelled? Where is the next Xuanwu Gate Incident? If he takes it seriously, he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster.

However, for more people, they have become accustomed to and accustomed to the Emperor of the Li family. If one day, the world suddenly has a surname Qin, it will be difficult for people to accept it.

So... some people who are interested can't help but slander this guy who is disgusting. What's Ye Yushu's daughter, what kind of character is nothing more than giving people a tyrannical image, as if only in this way can they feel at ease.

This side-sided situation has brewed enough time.

For Wei Xuanzhen, this result is obviously extremely beneficial.

Because of this, it not only covers up the current problems of Wei, but also pushes Qin Shaoyou to the center of rumors. If this continues, it will be beneficial to the Wei family. For Qin Shaoyou, a notorious Qin Shaoyou will obviously bring huge harm.

So in the past few days, Wei Xuanzhen was in a good mood. When dealing with many government affairs, he was still as relaxed as a fish in water. He felt relaxed and had the time to fish in his mansion.

The back garden of Wei’s mansion is a lake connecting Xuanwu Lake. This lake can almost directly lead to the forbidden garden in the palace, which is also the honor that the Wei family has now won.

Wearing a straw raincoat and rafting on the lake, Wei Xuanzhen was leisurely holding a fishing rod, slowly admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains, but she couldn't help but think about her daughter in her heart.

He had a sense of fear of this daughter. To some extent, he suddenly envied Wei Hongmin. When Wei Hongmin was with his daughter, although he had done many wrong things, it seemed that his daughter did not anger anything. Even now, Empress Wei is always thinking about Wei Hongmin's goodness, which makes Wei Xuanzhen feel a little uncomfortable. She is her father.

But...so what?

Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but sigh. He knew that people like Wei did not value family affection. Even the entire Wei family was just a tool that could be used for her. Because everyone's surname was Wei, the Wei family had to share the same relationship with Empress Wei. People in the world would always connect her with the Wei family for the good or bad of Wei. Therefore, Wei family trusted the children of the Wei family more. It was just that.

Wei family...Wei family...

Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This family... sometimes makes him feel that it is getting worse and worse. The ambitious Queen Wei is above, and the lower part is a group of ignorant children. They only know how to fly eagles and fight dogs, and eat, drink and have fun. Now, they are facing Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou is not a simple person.

In the past, Wei Xuanzhen disagreed with Qin Shaoyou. He thought he was just a martial artist. It was not until he suffered repeated losses that he truly valued this person. This person... whether in the past or present, or even in the future, he would be a major concern of the Wei family. He must be uprooted and eradicated.

But at this moment, someone heard a cry from afar at the trestle. Wei Xuanzhen narrowed her eyes and looked sideways, and saw from afar that she was actually a eunuch standing on the trestle.

The eunuch... Then the person who came from the palace. What should I send someone to do at this time of the palace?

He didn't dare to be careless, so he ordered people to dock the boat. It was indeed a eunuch. The man said panting: "Mr. Wei, Empress, please invite me. Oh, don't change my clothes. Please go immediately. The matter is urgent. Empress... Empress's face is very bad, and she said that it cannot be delayed at all."

Wei Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment. What happened? Why was he so anxious? What happened...

He only wore a straw raincoat and took off his strawcoat, which was just an underwear. He felt so upset when he entered the palace like this, but he knew that something must have happened, and that the matter was quite serious, otherwise, he would not have been so urgent.

He had no choice but to say, "Okay, come, prepare your horse and ride it into the palace."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Wei Xuanzhen passed Xuanwu Gate in disheveled clothes, and was still anxious. Along the way, he almost thought of many possibilities, where was the thing? Could it be Qin Shaoyou again, what choice did Qin Shaoyou make? Should he reject the King of Qin or write a letter to thank him?

If you refuse, at most you can issue another order. If you play with a cat and a mouse, you will always talk about it if you get tired of it.

But if you accept it, then Qin Shaoyou's life will be difficult. Everyone in the world regards him as a traitor. Even if such a person is overwhelming, he must be... he will be unable to move forward.

This is the biggest benefit of the Wei family. After all, the Wei family... is to use the emperor to command the princes. With this righteousness, no matter what happens, they can always take the initiative.

He hurriedly felt the Changle Palace, but the Changle Palace was silent like death, which made Wei Xuanzhen's heart sink, because he knew that his daughter was afraid of getting angry again, but he didn't know which female official or eunuch was in trouble. His daughter knew it well. Only in this way could the people in Changle Palace be so devastated.

He did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly entered the bedroom. Then, he saw the mess in the bedroom. However, Empress Wei, who had finally improved a little in the past few days, was frosty at the moment, and even had murderous intent on her face.

Wei Xuanzhen's heart skipped a beat, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth. This time, he did not bow as he used to, but fell to the ground. Since he was slapped by Queen Wei last time, he dared not be arrogant in front of Queen Wei. After his knees touched the ground, Wei Xuanzhen said seriously: "Old minister... I have seen the Empress."

"Get up." Empress Wei seemed very cold and called Wei Xuanzhen lightly, then said, "Come here, give Wei Shizhong a seat, go and have a good dress of tea."

Wei Xuanzhen was in a state of relief and said hurriedly: "The Empress called me, but I don't know what happened? But a few days ago, did the mountain people in Jiannan rebellion?"

Recently... it is obvious that only Jiannan's affairs can worry about the Wei family.

Empress Wei just sneered: "If it were just a mountain citizen who rebelled, things would be easy to do, but... it wasn't this..."
