i don't want to be emperor

Chapter 17 Coincidence

Now, it's a little embarrassing.

Qin Yi, who had just walked into the inn, looked at the young man standing in front of the counter who just turned his head, blinked, and passed by him as if he didn't see it, walked up the stairs as if nothing had happened, and returned to his room inside.

Although there was no change in expression on the surface, Qin Yi's heart was already open.He just thought about this guy for a while before, but he didn't expect to see him now. I originally planned to watch a play and fish in troubled waters after that guy came to Ningcheng, but now...

Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on Qin Yi's room door. After he shouted 'Come in', the young man he had seen in the inn lobby came in, closed the door, and stood in front of him. Kneeling down: "Kowtow to the emperor."

That's right, the young man he saw in the lobby of the inn was the imperial envoy who he thought would arrive in Ningcheng in the next two days, Zhang Su, the former Minister of Rites.

"Mianli flattened his body." Qin Yixu helped him to stand up, and asked knowingly, "I don't seem to have seen you, are you?"

"Minister Zhang Su." Zhang Su, who stood relatively back in the early court and thought that Qin Yi really didn't know who he was, said seriously.However, he is also complaining in his heart. After all, he is the imperial envoy appointed by you. It would be a bit too casual if he doesn't even know his appearance.

Moreover, since you don't know who he is, don't reveal your identity casually.

"So it's Zhang Aiqing." Qin Yi nodded, then was taken aback, "Hey, why did Zhang Aiqing come to Ningcheng by herself? Where's your guard of honor?"

"I want to visit Ningcheng first, so I took the first step." Zhang Su bowed his head and said respectfully.

"But if this is the case, isn't Zhang Aiqing very dangerous?" Qin Yi said disapprovingly, "As an imperial envoy, Zhang Aiqing should be more careful."

As an emperor, you who came to such a place by yourself really dare to say it.

Zhang Su lowered his head and rolled his eyes in a place Qin Yi couldn't see, but he couldn't directly refute, so he explained, "I'm not alone."

"On the way to Ningcheng, I met a few good friends who are good at martial arts. As long as I don't reveal my identity, I will be fine." Your Majesty, too, don't reveal your identity when you go!Alas, it would be great if he could forcefully send the emperor back.However, he was worried that the emperor would be dissatisfied with his association with people from the Jianghu, but now it seems that the emperor doesn't seem to care about this matter, which is a blessing in misfortune.

But then again, after Zhang Su thought about it, he decided to simply ask: "The reason why the emperor came to Ningcheng is to inspect the work of the minister himself?"

Qin Yi shook his head, and said with a bright smile: "It's just because it happened to be on the way." After finishing speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Zhang Su, "By the way, if you are here, don't call me the emperor, just call me the son. .”

"Yes, son." It seems that this little emperor still has some common sense, Zhang Su thought with satisfaction.

"Zhang Su, where are your friends?" Qin Yi looked behind him and asked curiously.

"They still have some things to deal with, so they didn't act together with the minister." In fact, when he was in the hall, his friends were still with him, but because he couldn't expose the emperor's identity, he found This is an excuse to send them out to seek information.

But this is just a stopgap measure, what really troubles him is what to do next.Want to introduce the emperor to those guys?Or just act like you don't know each other?

And when Zhang Su was worrying about how to deal with the little emperor's problem, Qin Yi's mind flashed again.

That's right, when I saw Zhang Su before, I felt nerve-wracking because I was worried that this guy would obstruct his various acts of death, but thinking about it carefully, isn't this guy's status as an imperial envoy a good entry point?

Because of his previous order, the second prince lost the status of the imperial envoy who could save him a fortune, and the previous position of the inspector was basically in his pocket. Qin Yi's order made his Fame and fortune have been hit.In order to restore his prestige, he would never let the imperial envoy, that is, Zhang Su, successfully complete this disaster relief operation.

Therefore, the Second Prince must have sent someone to Ningcheng, so the shopkeeper downstairs must belong to the Second Prince.It seems unlikely that the shopkeeper looks more like someone from some Jianghu organization, without the temperament that a public man should have.

Well, it's getting too far. In short, once the second prince's people find out Zhang Su's identity, they will definitely attack him.Especially now that Zhang Su is not acting with the guard of honor, it is even more convenient.What would happen if they 'just happened' to find their target, Zhang Su, who was still following the little emperor who had just enthroned?

Qin Yi showed Zhang Su a very bright smile: "Zhang Aiqing, what are you going to do next?"

Zhang Su replied respectfully: "I plan to investigate the situation in the city first." As for what to do, he didn't intend to tell the little emperor everything.Ever since he came into contact with Qin Yi, he has always felt that the emperor is quite unreliable, so it is okay for him to show respect, and he should handle the specific matters by himself.

Qin Yi saw Zhang Su's distrust of him, and didn't think there was any problem with it. Rather, this was the attitude he should have when facing a young and incompetent emperor. His kind of total trust is quite abnormal.

"By the way, Zhang Aiqing, I just took in a few guards recently, do you want to get to know them?"

Startled, Zhang Su suddenly raised his head, looked at Qin Yi and asked eagerly, "Guard? Do those people know your identity, Your Majesty?"

"Didn't you just call me son?" Qin Yi said in a relaxed tone, "Of course I know. If you don't even know who you are protecting, what kind of guard are you?" So he didn't know his identity. The brothers were not his bodyguards.

"Your majesty, you are too careless!" Even though I repeatedly told myself that the other party is the emperor, I should respect him more, even if the other party was wrong, I couldn't point it out, but after hearing Qin Yi's tone of not caring at all Zhang Su couldn't help but add a little accusation in his tone, "Your identity is precious, and you must not reveal your identity when you go out. Otherwise, if it is leaked, your situation will be quite dangerous!"

Qin Yi pursed his lips: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Only then did Zhang Su come to his senses, and immediately knelt down to apologize: "I dare not!"

"I don't blame you, why are you reacting so badly?" Qin Yi still looked unhappy, but stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Su up, looked at him and said seriously, "I know who to trust. .I know that Zhang Aiqing was just caring about me just now, but there must be no next time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Su stood up, and when he heard Qin Yi pronouncing himself, he understood that he was giving orders to him as the emperor, so he replied in a deep voice.Before, because the emperor's attitude was too accommodating, Zhang Su, who had just become an official and had not yet smoothed out his arrogance, went a little too far.

Although the first emperor was fatuous, he relied heavily on Wang Lang, or he had to rely heavily on it. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Su, who has the status of Wang Lang's student, has not suffered many setbacks since he entered the officialdom. With the high-spiritedness of some teenagers.

This is actually not a problem, but Qin Yi never likes someone to control him. If he met such courtiers in the past, he only needs to reprimand him in a cold voice, and his majesty is enough for them to learn when to shut up.It's just that now, he doesn't want to show the majesty that belongs to the emperor. If he is discovered, there will always be a lot of trouble.

"Brother Zhang, why didn't you stay in your room? Did you meet someone you know?" Accompanied by this familiar voice to Qin Yi, a young man in a white brocade suit appeared in the room holding a folding fan. the door.

And when the young man saw the two people in the room, his expression with a relaxed smile on his face suddenly froze, his eyes widened a bit, and he looked at Qin Yi with an expression of disbelief. Can't tell.

And Qin Yi looked at the young man in front of him, his expression became a little weird, really, where in life do we not meet each other.He originally wanted to let the people in the Jianghu who Zhang Su knew know his real identity unintentionally, but now it seems that there is no need to do so much.
