The First Tyrant of Daxia

Seeing this, Qin Yun felt helpless.

Being scared like this, Li Mu was unwilling to be an official.

"Forget it. If you don't want to be an official, I won't force you. Since Gu Chuntang and the others have pleaded for you, I will give them face and not deal with your Li family."

"Go back and tell your family to take care of themselves. If you dare to get involved in these things again, I will kill you without mercy."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Mu's eyes were filled with tears and he was a little excited.

Qin Yun's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly changed the subject: "You are well-known in the imperial capital, and you are unparalleled in talent and learning. I want to accept you as a student, not an official. Is this okay?"

"what?"

Li Mu's eyes opened wide, and a trace of sweat slid down his fair forehead.

"What? Would it be a disgrace to your reputation as a great scholar like Li if I were to take me as my teacher?" Qin Yun snorted.

"No! It's not."

A trace of anxiety appeared on Li Mu's face, and he thought to himself, for a girl like him, serving as an official in the court is a capital crime, but being a student shouldn't be that serious, right?

If I refuse Your Majesty again, I would be truly ungrateful.

"Your Majesty, the student is willing!"

Li Mu knelt on the ground and kowtowed. His body went limp and he felt extremely regretful. He wondered why he had claimed to others that he was a man.

How can I keep it secret in the days ahead?

Qin Yun smiled with satisfaction.

The main reason for accepting these great talents as students was for reputation, to show respect for the wise and humble, and also to beautify oneself through the articles of these great talents.

He walked over, held Li Mu's wrists with both hands, and helped him up.

Suddenly, Li Mu trembled all over and felt uncomfortable. This was the first time a man touched her body!

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Very good. When I have nothing to do, I will summon you great talents. Then we can go on a boat trip together and talk about literature."

Li Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, but could only swallow the chronic arsenic he brewed.

He nodded bitterly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will obey your order."

After a while, Li Mu left with mixed feelings.

"Your Majesty, the operation of the various gentry has already begun."

"They will do their best to speak for Your Majesty among the people and expose Wang Wei's true face. The news that the taxation issue will be dealt with in the near future has also been spread by these gentry."

"It has shown initial results. The people are not panicking or causing trouble."

Qin Yun nodded: "Yes, by the way, have you dealt with the gangster who colluded with Wang Ming?"

Feng Lao replied: "He has been executed and a notice has been posted to remove the cancer. The people are very happy about this."

"Very good." Qin Yun nodded.

"Your Majesty, there is no clue about the two big fish that Wang Wei mentioned. Do you princes still want to continue surveillance?" asked Old Feng.

Qin Yun pursed his lips and said, "It's not your fault. They will eventually reveal their true colors."

"Don't alarm Lao Wu and Lao Ba, just continue to monitor them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Feng nodded.

As he was speaking, Eunuch Xi came again.

He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just sent someone to ask if you are doing well since last night. She said she hasn't seen you for a while."

The Empress Dowager? Lady Dou?

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

Why did this reclusive woman suddenly come to find me?

She was the imperial concubine of the previous emperor. Her mother's family was from a prominent aristocratic family and she enjoyed considerable prestige in the royal family.

According to seniority, Qin Yun had to call her mother, even though they had no blood relationship and had only met each other a few times.

"Mr. Feng, do you think those two big fish could be her?" Qin Yun asked suddenly.

Old Feng smiled bitterly, his face wrinkled. "This... I dare not speak nonsense. But the words Wang Wei said before he died, I guess only a handful of people can sell him out."

Qin Yun nodded.

Not long ago, the Shadow Guard conducted a secret investigation and found that during the rebellion, an unidentified army approached the north of the imperial capital with ill intentions.

But for some reason, the army did not take action in the end.

It is estimated that these are the people who caught the two big fish. When they realized that the situation was hopeless, they sold out Wang Wei.

"Let the Shadow Guard continue to investigate where the army came from and who the soldiers are."

"Also, Eunuch Xi, go tell the Empress Dowager that I am in good health and will visit her later and have dinner with her."

"Yes!"

Mr. Feng and Eunuch Xi both bowed and nodded.

Qin Yun found himself too busy, racking his brains every day in order to secure the throne.

What he wanted most now was to play with Concubine Xiao Shufei's white and delicate feet.

"Guard Tao, prepare the carriage!"

"I want to go to the prison and interrogate Wang Wei's family."

"Yes!"

Heaven Prison.

In the darkness and dampness, there were sounds of vanity and faint crying.

As the family of Wang Wei, the leader of the mutiny and rebellion, more than one hundred people were detained in Tianlao and given special treatment.

Qin Yun was sitting in a cell.

The prison guards dragged in a ragged man who no longer looked like a human.

This man is called Lin Fu, Wang Wei's confidant and also his steward. He was captured in the chaos in the Glazed Palace last night.

"I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. Tell me the two accomplices behind Wang Wei, and I will spare your life." Qin Yun said calmly.

Lin Fu lay on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and a fierce laugh appeared in his messy hair: "Hahaha, it seems that His Majesty hasn't found out yet? You want me to speak? Dream on."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He lay weakly on the ground and closed his eyes.

Qin Yun frowned: "Is there anything more important than staying alive?"

"Haha, the master has been very kind to me, and he gave me my life!" Lin Fu gritted his teeth.

Qin Yun said disdainfully: "What if I tell you that your master was sold out by the two big fish behind the scenes and then murdered to silence him?"

Lin Fu opened his eyes and glanced at Qin Yun: "I don't believe it!"

"The master failed and died, and the culprit is you, the dog emperor. I won't say anything. The two big fish behind you are like knives hanging over your head, ready to fall at any time and make you restless at any time!"

"With the Wang family gone, you won't have an easy life!"

After saying this, Lin Fu laughed arrogantly, like a vengeful ghost.

"You don't believe it?" Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and continued, "Then why was it that only your Wang family besieged the imperial capital last night, but there was no help from the person behind the scenes?"

Lin Fu's eyes flickered: "I am about to die, I can't care about so many things, I only know that the master and the young master died in your hands."

Qin Yun pinched his brows.

"Stupid! You don't even know who to turn to for revenge."

He snorted again and said, "You only have less than two months. Think it over and tell me. If I kill the two big fish behind the scenes, it will be considered revenge for your master."

Lin Fu snorted coldly, unmoved.

Qin Yun was not in a hurry. He waved his hand and asked someone to drag Lin Fu away.

At this time, Tao Yang stepped forward.

He whispered in Qin Yun's ear: "Your Majesty, the traitor Wang Wei's wife, Wu, is also here. She is dignified and graceful, full of charm. May I ask if I should take her back to the harem?"
