i don't want to be emperor

"Is this treasure map real?" Qin Huan asked casually looking at the treasure map presented by his subordinates.

Treasure maps are always false and one true. As the second prince of Qin, he was the person who was most likely to ascend the throne before the sixth prince Qin Yi ascended the throne. He received countless gifts, among which there were naturally There are quite a few treasure maps whose authenticity is unknown.If it wasn't for the person under his command who sent it to him specially, he wouldn't even take a second look at the document that was placed in front of his eyes.

"It's true, my lord." The subordinate who sent the treasure map vowed, "The source of the subordinates has been carefully checked. The treasure in this treasure map is the royal family of the previous dynasty on the eve of its demise. A large number of treasures in the royal family are hidden in a remote and unknown place."

"Oh?" Qin Huan suddenly became interested, "Then send someone to have a look."

"Yes, my lord." The subordinate took the order and left.

After the subordinate left, Qin Huan looked at the map on the table again, and then directly handed it to a person who was also sitting in the study room, and waited for the other person to read the treasure map carefully before asking Said: "Sir, what do you think?"

The person Qin Huan called Mr. was a middle-aged scribe with a clear face. After hearing Qin Huai's question, he stroked the treasure map before slowly opening his mouth and said, "From the material of this treasure map, Look, it shouldn't be fake. Besides, if Your Highness is interested in this treasure, I have a suggestion."

This gentleman, surnamed Shen, was a strange man Qin Huan met a few years ago.At that time, Qin Huan was drinking in a restaurant because he was reprimanded by the then empress, who is now the empress dowager, when he heard a few scholars sitting at a table next to him criticizing the government at that time. It sounded even more depressing.

At this moment, a middle-aged scribe who was sitting alone by the bed suddenly laughed. Under the questioning of several scholars, he refuted their empty talk to nothing in very peaceful words. He couldn't make a mistake in the jump, and immediately made several scholars speechless, and they covered their faces in shame and walked away.

Qin Huan immediately took a liking to the middle-aged scribe, and after taking the initiative to chat, the middle-aged scribe easily guessed his identity, but his attitude was still as peaceful as before. Qin Huan felt his talent, so he took the initiative to speak out Solicit.After being silent for a while, the middle-aged scribe accepted Qin Huan's invitation and became the guest secretary of the second prince.

In the past few years, although Mr. Shen rarely took the initiative to do anything, every time he offered advice, he always had something to say, and he was often able to predict the reactions of all parties in advance. The only time he missed was when the emperor's ascension At that time, he speculated that except for several possibilities, and arranged a backup for each possibility, but he never expected that it would be the sixth prince, whose performance can only be described as mediocre, who would get that position .

Because that incident was too unexpected, Qin Huan didn't mean to blame Mr. Shen, and still trusted him as usual.

No matter what you think in the bottom of your heart, at least the superficial posture is still very good.

The middle-aged scribe put down the treasure map in his hand, looked at Qin Huan, and said in a gentle voice: "Didn't your Highness send someone to contact the bandits before, planning to attack the imperial envoy on the way?"

When making this decision, although he did not tell Mr. Shen, Qin Huan, who did not keep Mr. Shen a secret, said with an unchanged expression: "Yes, sir. Do you think there is any problem with this king's move?" ?”

The middle-aged scribe shook his head and smiled: "The treasure location shown on the treasure map is right next to the inspection route of the imperial envoy. This is also a good opportunity for His Highness."

Qin Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Please give me your advice, sir."

"This disaster relief matter was previously handled by His Highness, but now it was handed over to others, but was attacked by bandits on the way to the disaster relief. If it is said that His Highness was not responsible for this, no one in the court would believe it. Yes. In my opinion, instead of being suspected afterwards, His Highness can directly follow you in the name of supervision and put the matter on the surface, which can reduce the degree of suspicion on the contrary."

"If you were also attacked by bandits nearby, even if someone suspected that the imperial envoy's accident was your fault, they would not be able to put such doubts on the surface."

Qin Huan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Mr. really has a clever plan, so I will act according to your plan."

In this way, the day before Zhang Su's guard of honor departed, Qin Huan invited himself to supervise the work of the imperial envoy.Although this is not quite in line with the official system of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Huan is the second prince after all, the current king Duan, and the current emperor has a lot of trust in his brother. Considering his experience in disaster relief many times, he agreed. Most of the courtiers in the court did not object to his request.

Anyway, it was just a supervisor. If the other party really had malicious intentions towards the imperial envoy, they probably wouldn't have followed so openly.

Just as Mr. Shen expected, the courtiers only felt that His Royal Highness Duan Wang just wanted to grab Zhang Su's pigtails while following Zhang Su, which relieved a lot of guesses about what methods he would use in secret.

After his subordinates checked the location of the treasure, Qin Huan had almost reached his destination. After sending back the information that he had been attacked by bandits, he came to the cave where the treasure was hidden and saw with his own eyes the almost heaped treasure. Gold, silver and jewels filled the entire cave.

Although he was born in the royal family, it was the first time he saw such a magnificent scene, so he couldn't help but come here every day, while looking at the treasures in the cave, he enjoyed the sense of satisfaction that the wealth was gradually flowing into his private treasury .

However, just when he was about to empty out all the treasures in the cave, a visit from a person who was completely unexpected made him feel a little confused.

Qin Huan looked at Qin Yi and his party who came out of the secret door suddenly, and after recovering from the shock, many thoughts came to his mind.

This guy suddenly appeared in such a place at this time, could it be that he came here specifically for him?Could it be that he has never paid much attention to this, even if the other party became the emperor, he just thought that the other party was chosen by the queen because he was a relatively easy to control person, that is to say, the current queen mother chose to become the emperor, In fact, is he a deeply thoughtful prince who wants to use his name to become a prince?

Moreover, he also brought along the imperial envoy Zhang Su, who seemed to have a very good relationship.So the reason why Zhang Su was so happy to be selected as the imperial envoy at the beginning was entirely because he was the emperor's confidant, right?

To be able to make everyone unaware, his younger brother is not as useless as he imagined.Moreover, it was actually able to hide from that terrible empress dowager.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneered at Qin Yi: "I really underestimated you, sixth brother."

Hearing what he said, Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then showed his usual smile: "Second Brother, I didn't expect to see you here."

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Qin Huan is not a gentleman, it is better to leave things like digging treasures to his subordinates. Even if his subordinates embezzle part of them, it is better than personally It's better to come here to take risks. After all, if something goes wrong, as long as you push the matter to your own subordinates, you can completely remove yourself.

It can be seen from this that when Qin Yi said that sentence, he was absolutely sincere.

It's a pity that, in Qin Huan's view, this is nothing more than a mockery of the winner.So, he snorted coldly and said: "Stop being hypocritical there, you can bear it, and you actually pretended to be a fool for so long. Not only the queen and me, no, it should be called the queen mother now, not only the queen mother and me, but also the queen mother." You have deceived both the civil and military courts."

Qin Yi couldn't help but sighed: "Second Brother, you think too much." In this situation, no matter what, he should feel that he was being calculated by others, and although he was indeed pretending to be stupid However, from beginning to end, he never intended to be emperor.

"Hmph, now you can say whatever you want." Qin Huan couldn't listen to him at all.

His stupid brother.

Qin Yi sighed again, turned his head and said to the people behind him: "You go out first, I have something to say, I want to talk to my brother alone."

Hearing what Qin Yi said, after thinking for a while, Qin Huan also said to his subordinates who were still in the secret room of the cave: "You guys go out too." He always felt that it was impossible for Qin Yi, the current emperor, to just bring The few people behind him came to see him, maybe now, the outside of the cave was already surrounded by officers and soldiers, waiting for him to go out and arrest him.

But no matter what, this is a dialogue between the royal family. Since Qin Yi has expressed his intention to talk to him alone, he should also show corresponding respect.

After everyone in the secret room had left, Qin Huan asked, "What do you want to say to me?"

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now he realizes that his second brother seems to be a bit stupid.

Qin Yi walked slowly in front of Qin Huan, found a random stone pier and sat down, looked at Qin Huan and said with a smile: "Second Emperor Brother, actually I don't object to your being the emperor."

"Oh, is that so?" Qin Huan tilted his head noncommittally, "Then you should abdicate directly." Hearing the tone, it seemed that he didn't believe it.

"However, no matter what, as the prince of Daqin, you shouldn't associate with people from Daliao." Qin Yi propped his cheeks, looking completely lifeless, "This is treason."

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Qin Huan said dissatisfiedly, and then reacted, frowning, "Associates with people from Daliao, what stupid things are you talking about? Do you want to frame me?"

Oh, it seems that this brother who was neglected by him before is even more stupid than he imagined.

How did he think that this guy could usurp the throne?
