There was a sixth chapter tonight!
In Xianyang City!
As the day of the engagement between Princess Ling Fei and the Hundred Chi Gate's Deputy Gate Master Yu Haoran drew closer, the entire Xianyang City fell into a carnival that was even livelier than the New Year.
However, the atmosphere in the mansions of the several aristocratic families in Xianyang City was very oppressive.
Among them were the Meng family, the Wang family, and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Qin Zhichang, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had just returned from the imperial court, had a gloomy face.
"Master!" Seeing that Qin Zhichang was in a bad mood, Chief Steward Yuan cautiously greeted him.
"Go and call Qu 'er!" Qin Zhichang ordered as he walked toward the study, suppressing his anger.
"Yes, Master!"
In addition to the burning anger, Chief Steward Yuan, who was familiar with Qin Zhichang, could feel the endless killing intent in his body. This made him realize that Qin Zhichang was in trouble.
Therefore, Chief Steward Yuan did not delay and directly used a movement technique to call for Qin Fengqu.
Not long after, Qin Fengqu arrived at the study.
When he saw his father sitting in the armchair with a gloomy expression, Qin Fengqu, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly became nervous.
"Father, why did you call Qu 'er here?" Qin Fengqu asked nervously.
"Qu 'er, what are the Confucian school's Three Steel and Five Constant?"
Qin Zhichang raised his head and looked at Qin Fengqu, who looked 90% similar to him, with a painful expression in his eyes.
Then, he took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness and pain in his heart. He asked as if he was teaching Qin Fengqu knowledge.
"Father, the Three Steel refers to the ruler as the subject, the father as the son, and the husband as the wife. The Five Constant are still Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Faith. "
Although he did not understand why his father asked him why he had started learning the Spring and Autumn Dew when he was three years old, he was used to listening to his father's orders and obediently answered.
"Qu 'er, the father as the son, what does it mean?" Qin Zhichang did not express any opinion about Qin Fengqu's answer. He only picked one of the Three Principles and continued to ask.
"Father as the son is the foundation of the Three Principles. It refers to the children's absolute obedience to their parents."
When Qin Fengqu explained the meaning of 'the father is the son', a bad feeling gradually emerged in his heart.
"Qu 'er, will you obey the absolute obedience of the Three Principles of Conduct?"
Qin Zhichang nodded with satisfaction at Qin Fengqu's answer. Then, he raised his head and looked at Qin Fengqu with a trace of determination in his eyes.
"Father, what do you mean?"
When Qin Fengqu saw the determination in his father's eyes and associated it with the absolute obedience of a father as a son, Qin Fengqu had already guessed his father's true thoughts.
But when he thought about how he was his only son and the only successor to the Ministry of Rites, he was unwilling to believe his own guesses and couldn't help but ask.
"What exactly do I mean? Smart as you are, you should have already guessed it!" In the face of Qin Fengqu's questioning, Qin Zhichang suddenly sat up straight and asked in a cold voice.
"Why?" Qin Fengqu asked, unable to understand and accept.
"Why?" Repeating Qin Fengqu's question, Qin Zhichang closed his eyes and suddenly fell silent.
"Father, is it because of Yu Haoran?" Seeing his father suddenly fall silent, Qin Fengqu tried to ask.
Qin Zhichang nodded with his eyes closed.
"Father, if it's because of Yu Haoran, you don't need to worry at all."
After receiving his father's confirmation, the nervous Qin Fengqu immediately relaxed and spoke with a tone full of confidence.
"Because I handled things very well at the time and didn't leave behind any evidence that could be traced back to the Assistant Minister Estate."
Qin Zhichang opened his eyes and looked at his son, who had regained his confidence, and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
Then, he asked, "Qu 'er, if His Majesty wants to move against the Assistant Minister Estate because of Yu Haoran, does he need evidence?"
"Lord Father, my Grand Qin Empire was founded on martial might and rules the country by law. Could it be that His Majesty dares to take the risk of offending all the civil and military officials and forcefully convict my Assistant Minister Estate without sufficient evidence?" Qin Fengqu retorted like a pure Confucian scholar when faced with his father's question.
Seeing his son, who was as simple as an idiot, Qin Zhichang felt a deep sense of self-reproach. He blamed himself for sending his son to a Confucian school to study the Way of Elegance, and even more so for having his son walk the path of a civil official with him.
He was too simple, so simple that he couldn't adapt to this cruel world.
This was also good. At least if he used his son's life to protect the Assistant Minister Estate, he wouldn't feel disappointed or sad.
"Steward Yuan!" Qin Zhichang suddenly shouted at Steward Yuan, who was standing guard outside the study.
"Master!" After hearing the greeting, Chief Steward Yuan entered the study room cautiously.
"Send Qu 'er to the Court of Judicial Review and personally hand him over to Jiang Shaoqing. Also, tell him that the mastermind behind the ambush of the son-in-law in the northern city is Qin Fengqu!" Qin Zhichang ordered coldly as he leaned back in his armchair.
"Father, you can't do this to me."
"I arranged for Uncle Li to kill the black bear beside Yu Haoran because I wanted to avenge you. It was Uncle Li's idea that Yu Haoran was heavily injured. I didn't do anything wrong, nor am I guilty."
It wasn't the Ministry of Justice, but the Court of Judicial Review. His father's action just now was very clear. He planned to sacrifice himself to protect the family.
However, how could Qin Fengqu, who believed that he didn't do anything wrong, or rather, who didn't want to accept his fate, obediently obey!
Therefore, as he argued loudly, he tried to mobilize the soul power and origin power of a peak seventh grade Martial King, intending to forcefully break out.
However, when he realized that he couldn't mobilize his soul power and origin power, his expression couldn't help but change. His voice was filled with anger.
"You, you, you actually poisoned me!"
"Steward Yuan, hurry up!" Ignoring Qin Fengqu's question, Qin Zhichang ordered Steward Yuan.
"Yes, Master!"
Steward Yuan directly knocked Qin Fengqu unconscious and directly carried him out of the study, heading straight for the Court of Judicial Review in the inner city.
…!
One day in the outside world was two years in the pagoda!
Two days in the outside world was four years in the pagoda!
Ever since his rebirth, Yu Haoran had never spent such a long time on cultivation and healing.
Fortunately, his strong mental state cultivation allowed him to adjust and calm down in time every time he was upset and irritable.
It was under this kind of persistent cultivation and healing that his dantian, which originally needed about four years to be repaired, was completely repaired in the third year.
