Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Faced with everyone's silence, Emperor Qian began to perform a solo.

However, he is also a seasoned veteran and will not sacrifice his imperial dignity to specifically target Qin Ming.

Glancing at the officials present, Emperor Qian slowly spoke:

"This matter will be handled jointly by the Imperial Clan Court and the Ministry of Rites. There will be no mercy for those who deserve punishment!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned.

Chen Shimao and Qian Cai were also somewhat unhappy.

The Imperial Clan Court was directly under the management of the royal family, or in other words, it was under the control of Emperor Qian.

There were many supporters of Concubine Xiao Shufei in the Ministry of Rites.

Handing the matter over to them at this time is obviously to impose a heavy sentence on Qin Ming for a minor crime!

Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Clan Court hurried forward and said:

"Your humble servant receives the order!"

"Your humble servant receives the order!"

……

They actually wanted to help Qin Yue originally.

But this kid is very unreasonable.

He didn't even bring the topic to the ministers, and the emotions he expressed were extremely intense.

This made no one dare to take up the debate.

Fortunately, Emperor Qian was still very smart.

With just a few words, he brought over useful forces within the court.

This also put a lot of pressure on Chen Shimao, Qian Cai and others.

However, this matter has already been decided by Emperor Qian.

They could scold the young prince.

But he could no longer refute Emperor Qian in public in the court.

After all, disobeying the prince and disobeying the emperor have completely different weights.

Now they can only use their own connections to help Qin Ming turn the situation around after leaving the court.

"There's no need to discuss this matter any further, let's just leave it as it is!"

Emperor Qian didn't even give him any chance and simply put the matter behind him.

He was afraid that the two important officials, Chen Shimao and Qian Cai, would jump out again to put pressure on him.

"Our Emperor is wise..."

Although all the ministers had their own complaints, they still followed the custom and flattered the emperor.

After the court meeting ended, several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Clan Affairs and the Ministry of Rites rushed to Concubine Xiao Shufei's bedroom as expected.

This time with Emperor Qian's instructions, they naturally had to raise the standards for judging Qin Ming and punish him severely.

Chen Shimao and Qian Cai also did not go back directly after leaving the court.

Instead, he began to mediate among officials from the six ministries and helped Qin Ming.

……

Seven days later, Shi Yujin, the Right Clan Director of the Ministry of Clan Affairs, was ordered to go south and arrived in Gusu City.

The purpose of his coming here today was also very simple.

Naturally, it was to punish Qin Ming in accordance with the order of the court.

Although Qin Ming was crowned king in Lingnan, he has been staying here recently.

After arriving at the courtyard where Qin Ming lived, Shi Yujin called out to the guards:

"I am Shi Yujin, the Right Clan Director of the Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau! I have been sent by the court to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Please inform him."

"Who? The clan house? What are you doing here?"

After hearing what he said, several guards scratched their ears and did not show much respect.

Shi Yujin was a fourth-rank official in the imperial court and had a very high status.

No matter where he goes, people are always respectful to him and dare not neglect him in the slightest.

He also likes to show off and enjoy the flattery from those below him.

This is the only way to show that you are superior to others.

But today, Shi Yujin, who arrived here in a hurry and was ready to hold Qin Ming accountable, found that even the soldiers guarding the gate had no respect for him.

After talking for a long time, the other person didn't even move.

Thinking of this, Shi Yujin frowned and said in a bad tone:

"I'm here on official business and need to speak with His Majesty the Prince of Qin. As for what we're talking about, do I need to report it to you?"

Behind him, several of his men immediately took out documents from the court.

Shi Yujin pointed proudly at the marks left by the bright red cinnabar.

This means that he is a high-ranking official from the imperial court!

No matter where you go, you need to be worshipped!

But he was wrong again this time.

After hearing his words, several young guards glanced at what he held in his hand.

Just a faint "oh".

"Hello, Lord Shi, our prince has gone out. Please wait over there for a while."

After saying this, they pointed to a teahouse in the distance.

What he meant was that he wanted Shi Yujin to go over there and rest for a while.

When he heard this, Shi Yujin almost went crazy.

"Is this how you treat officials sent by the imperial court?"

He was so angry that his liver ached, but he could only suppress his anger and question angrily.

Seeing him acting so arrogant, several guards suddenly felt unhappy.

"What? You still expect us to invite you in and treat you well?"

"Your Highness has never taken a penny from the court. We all earned our money through hard work and ability. Why should we spend money to entertain you?"

"Master Shi, people from the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice have come before, but they are not as delicate as you."

There is a reason why these soldiers are so arrogant.

First, they knew that the court had sent people here for no good reason.

Second, they are not subject to the court's control at all and are only responsible to Qin Ming.

Then why does Shi Yujin still act so arrogantly at the door of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?

Among the high-ranking officials previously assigned by the court to investigate Qin Ming's illegal land grabbing, which one had a higher position than Shi Yujin?

Still, he was met with failure and finally returned to the court in disgrace.

It's not his turn to jump here at all.

"Well, you dare to do this to me! You will suffer the consequences!"

Shi Yujin turned around angrily and prepared to find local officials to rest temporarily.

After he left, the door of the courtyard was pushed open.

The graceful Liu Yueli walked out and asked curiously:

"What happened?"

Everyone informed her of the news.

Liu Yueli, who had become Qin Ming's maid and bodyguard, nodded.

Then he quickly rushed towards the direction where Qin Ming was.

At this time, Qin Ming was negotiating cooperation with the local chamber of commerce as the president of the Textile Industry Association.

Having learned from previous experiences, these local chambers of commerce have also learned their lesson.

They all honestly established cooperation with Qin Ming.

Anyway, if they cooperate honestly, they can still make money.

It would be better to lie down and accept Qin Ming's invitation.

"Your Highness."

Liu Yueli came to a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, poked her little head in and called out softly.

Recently, after being severely hit by Qin Ming with poison from the workshop, this girl has been trained to be much more obedient.

He has lost a lot of his gangster style and become more well-educated and rational.

This may be the case that people get redder when they are around red people, and blacker when they are around black people.

Qin Ming, who was talking to several local merchants, looked up and noticed her voice.

So he smiled and said something to the people in front of him, then stood up and went outside.

"what happened?"

Liu Yueli told Qin Ming the news that the court had arranged for an official to come.

To her surprise, Qin Ming was not surprised at all.

Instead, he smiled and pinched her little face.

"Let him wait. I have other things to do. You don't have to waste your energy on that guy."

Hearing this, Liu Yueli nodded obediently, turned around and left.
