Professional Ethics of a Concubine

The King of England and the Princess Royal also looked at Xie Jin in surprise, surprised at his words and shocked at his thoughts, or rather his ambitions.

There is even misunderstanding.

However, none of them spoke, perhaps out of an instinct to submit to the strong, which made them keep their mouths shut even if they did not understand and wanted to object.

"Your Highness, I am so shocked. To hear what Your Highness said just now, I am willing to take my disciples with me to join Your Highness and serve you until my death."

Shen Chunyuan kowtowed three times and said excitedly.

With just this big pie to swallow, who wouldn't be confused, who wouldn't be loyal.

My brain can't think anymore. I just want to be crazy about the prince, go crazy about the prince, and bang my head against the wall for the prince.

Xie Jin stood up, bent down to help him up from the ground, and said with a smile,

"Mr. Shen wants to build a great business with me, and I am very happy.

However, I have to say it out loud. Although I agree with most of the Mohist thoughts and theories, I will change or add some of them in the future to make them better for my own use.

As for your Mohist mechanical arts, you have previously devoted yourself to the research of military equipment for both defense and attack.

But now I already have more powerful firearms and gunpowder, so I no longer need you to focus on improving siege vehicles or crossbows.

I hope that you, the disciples of the Mohist School, will focus your research on the machinery needed for agriculture and handicrafts.

Such as improving water conservancy vehicles, farm tools such as hoes and plows, improving textile and weaving tools, improving transportation tools, etc. ”

"...Ah?" Shen Chunyuan was surprised for a moment, and all kinds of doubts flashed through his mind, but he felt that compared to what the prince had given, what the prince asked for was not a big problem at all, so he nodded in response.

"Okay, I'll listen to your highness! This is no problem!"

Whether studying siege machines or other machines, it does not violate the practical thinking of their Mohists.

If the world is truly unified in the future and there are no more wars, then they will not need to study siege and defense machinery.

Not sticking to the old ways and not being complacent are also the spirit advocated by their Mohist school.

Xie Jin also smiled and nodded, then said, "Now that the big thing has been settled, let's talk about what happened today. Do you know who tampered with the agency?"

"Your Highness, I suspect it was my third disciple. He is quite radical and has extreme ideas. He often opposes some of my ideas. This time he secretly modified the mechanism in order to take the opportunity to get rid of me."

Shen Chunyuan said with a bitter look on his face.

Before, he was thinking about making excuses for his third disciple and saving his life, after all, they were master and disciple.

However, now with a greater goal in mind, Shen Chunyuan suppressed his personal emotions.

He felt that this was his token of allegiance to the prince and he could not hide anything on this matter, otherwise the prince would definitely be dissatisfied with him.

If he took back his promise, he would regret it to death.

But he didn't expect that Xie Jin didn't intervene in the matter at all, but just said to him,

"I will send a few people to you and give you two more days to handle this matter on your own. It is up to you to decide whether to kill or keep him alive."

Give him enough power and space.

Shen Chunyuan was immediately moved and kowtowed to Xie Jin again, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

"After cleaning up the sect, you will take your men to the military camp to report to me. I will have some work for you to do."

Xie Jin never wastes time. Since he has recruited the talents, it is time to put them to work.

He doesn't keep any idle people under his command (except for his wife).

"...I obey your command!" Shen Chunyuan was in a daze again.

Even though he was not a slow person on weekdays, he still couldn't adapt to the prince's fast pace.

He was still in a daze and hadn't mentally adapted to this huge change in identity when he was entrusted with an important task.

Too fast, too fast.

-

the other side.

While the Crown Prince was dealing with Shen Chunyuan's affairs, Prince Qi, who came to the Princess's Mansion, was discovered by Mingyu and Xie Hongbao who had just woken up from their nap.

Mingyu and King Qi stared at each other for a long time. Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the side and asked Xie Hongbao in a low voice,

"Brother Hongbao, is this really the uncle of the King of Qi? Why doesn't he speak or smile?"

"Uncle Prince Qi doesn't like to talk and doesn't like to laugh," said Xie Hongbao.

"Then why is he staring at me?" Mingyu glanced at King Qi again and asked Xie Hongbao in a low voice.

"...Maybe it's because I haven't seen you before and I'm a little curious about you." Xie Hongbao said.

"I'm so embarrassed watching this." Mingyu covered her face and thought for a moment before saying, "I'll go call Brother Kang and the others over and ask them to come and pay their respects to the Emperor's uncle."

Mingyu ran away very fast.

For a moment, Xie Hongbao and Prince Qi were left staring at each other.

In fact, Xie Hongbao was afraid of King Qi in his heart, because he remembered that King Qi did not like him before, and the impression he left on him was that every time he saw him, his eyes were cold.

Of course, maybe I was young at the time and don’t remember clearly, so there might be something wrong with my feelings.

Now Xie Hongbao felt that the Prince of Qi had no hostility towards him. His eyes were no longer cold, but full of interest.

Xie Hongbao grinned at King Qi, forcing a brilliant smile, and took the initiative to speak,

"Uncle, I heard that you are an extraordinary martial artist and have no rivals. Can you teach me a set of sword techniques that can kill enemies?"

The King of Qi stared at him for a long while, then nodded, drew his sword, stood up, performed a few sword moves, and finally pointed the sword at Xie Hongbao with murderous intent.

Xie Hongbao was frightened by the murderous aura and his face turned pale instantly, but he did not move or scream. He just stared at the tip of the sword that was less than an finger away from his eyes, his body shaking slightly.

The King of Qi took back his sword and said calmly, "You have some courage."

Xie Hongbao finally let out the breath he had been holding. He felt his legs go weak and he forced himself to stand, not wanting to fall and embarrass himself.

"If you want to learn how to kill people, you can't be afraid of being killed." The King of Qi said again, as if to explain his previous behavior.

"...Thank you, uncle, for your teachings." Xie Hongbao bowed and took the opportunity to stretch his weak hands and feet.

"Do you know that your father is still alive?" The King of Qi asked this question on his own initiative, which was rare.

"I know." Xie Hongbao smiled excitedly upon hearing this. "Uncle Crown Prince said that I will be able to see my father in two months at most."

"Do you want to see him earlier?" asked the King of Qi.

"Of course I did." Xie Hongbao nodded immediately.

"I'll help you." said the King of Qi.

"How can the emperor's uncle help me?" Xie Hongbao didn't quite understand.

"Join my vanguard army and follow me to attack the State of Chu." said the King of Qi.

Xie Hongbao,

Is the Prince of Qi going to help him or to cheat him?

Xie Hongbao met the King of Qi's eyes, and vaguely thought that maybe he really wanted to help him.

This is the method...I guess neither the prince nor my father would agree.

-

Chu State, Shangjing.

"Ah, Ah!"

Xie Wenyuan sneezed twice, rubbed his nose uncomfortably, and wondered who was talking about him behind his back.

Forget it, he doesn't care. Anyway, there are more than one or two people who have been killed by him recently.

That’s right, Xie Wenyuan has done something really big again during this period!

After he learned that Feng Yuxi's "poison skills" were beyond the control of mortals, he changed his mind and no longer wanted to take it slow.

Given these conditions, he would of course want to do something bigger.

Xie Wenyuan began to use poison to control the loyal ministers around the emperor one by one.

Finally, Xie Wenyuan even asked Feng Yuxi to poison the Chu royal palace. Not only the emperor was poisoned, but several princes and princesses were also poisoned.

This poison makes people unable to move or speak, but they are very aware of what is happening around them.

The imperial doctors were helpless against the poison, not knowing where it came from, and could only guess that it was a plot by spies from the Great Zhao.

Feng Yuxi, the miracle doctor, also said that he could only save his life temporarily and it would take time to detoxify.

As soon as the emperor fell, the King of Wei immediately ordered his private soldiers to surround the imperial city. Then the King of Wei killed those who tried to stop him, stood in the hall, and said that he would help his brother to govern the country.

The King of Wei claimed that this was a necessary measure to stabilize the court at a time when the two countries were at war, and he did not intend to rebel directly.

It was Xie Wenyuan who suggested that he put on this fig leaf.

Because of this fig leaf, the court will be much more stable, and it will also give those fence-sitters a reason not to take sides.

But everyone knows that the situation in Chu has changed and it belongs to the King of Wei!

Many ministers also suspected that it was the King of Wei who poisoned the emperor. However, they had no definite evidence and they could not defeat the King of Wei who held the military power.

Ministers who disobeyed their orders would end up being beheaded.

Therefore, after killing some ministers and guards who were loyal to the emperor, the King of Wei took over the power smoothly and sat on the dragon throne openly.

However, the King of Wei did not move into the palace. Every morning court session started from the King of Wei's Mansion, but the King of Wei still enjoyed it.

When he was not attending the morning court, the King of Wei still stayed in the King's Palace, and discussed state affairs with court officials in the King's Palace.

"Where is A Yuan? Where did he go? Please ask him to come over, I want to see him." King Wei said to the eunuch beside him.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The eunuchs all called the King of Wei the Emperor, and replied cautiously, "Master Xie just said he was going to the toilet, and he will be back soon."

The King of Wei agreed, picked up the memorial, took a look at it, and threw it aside.

A Yuan will help him review the memorials, so all he needs to do is enjoy himself.

After a while, Xie Wenyuan came back from the toilet.

The King of Wei immediately smiled and called him to sit next to him, saying warmly,

"A Yuan, has the war with Zhao started? Is there anything else I need to do?"

"The fight is about to start." Xie Wenyuan sat down, picked up the teacup, and spoke leisurely.

"Your Majesty, I plan to bring the army from Shangjing to the border to provide support in person, just in case."

"Ah?! A Yuan wants to lead the troops to war personally?!" King Wei strongly objected.

"How can this be possible! The battlefield is too dangerous. I absolutely cannot lose A Yuan. You should stay by my side."

Xie Wenyuan,...

I almost spit out the tea I just took a sip of.
