Chapter 49: Drunk life and dream death

At dawn, a carriage was parked outside the Han Palace.

King Yingping of Han was the third prince of His Majesty the Emperor. He just celebrated his 24th birthday three months ago. He is also the most prominent person in the Great Qin Empire, except His Majesty the Emperor.

In the eighteenth year of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Yingping was just a six-year-old naughty boy. When he was born, Emperor Yingyuan was still fighting the world in blood. At that time, the world was still divided. When Yingping was born, the emperor soon named the third prince "Ping", which means he hoped to pacify the world as soon as possible and unify the world.

The King of Han did not have the military achievements made on the battlefield like the prince. In terms of origin, it was not as good as the Queen of Qi Yingren. His biological mother was just the daughter of a gentleman. In order to win over the family, His Majesty the Emperor included this woman indoors. After the founding of the country, he was also named a concubine because of the King of Han.

However, among the emperor's sons, the King of Han obviously had his own uniqueness.

He has never been a writer since childhood. He is smart and studious, clever and well-behaved. He was once loved by His Majesty the Emperor. His essays are very well-known in martial arts. He is also a martial arts master. He is very handsome, treats people harmoniously and likes to make friends.

Now the Han King Party is the most powerful in the Qin Empire, and it has been suppressed by the princes. In the court and the public, anyone who knows some things about the court thinks that Han King Yingping is the king of tomorrow. Many people even think that with Yingping's literary and military strategy, he will definitely be able to create another prosperous era of the Qin Empire.

The Han Palace was magnificent and the sky was still dawn. Duke Anguo Huang Ju dragged his old body to the Han Palace. He was a regular visitor of the Han Palace. There was no need to spread the word. Someone had already taken him to the side hall to serve tea, and then he went to report to the Han Palace.

Duke An looked calm. He sat on the chair, squinted his eyes slightly, thinking. If it weren't for his eyelids occasionally twitching, it would be hard to see that his mood was not very good now.

As footsteps sounded, Duke An opened his eyes and stood up. From behind the screen, a young master with a jade face turned out. He wore a jade crown and a white brocade robes. The brocade robes were drawn with ink and water landscape pictures, with elegance and elegance. He was tied to a golden jade belt around his waist, and was even more decorated with a flowing cloud jade pendant. As he walked, he was flowing and flowing, and was extremely elegant.

His appearance is indeed very handsome, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, fair skin, and delicate facial features. If it weren't for the sharp and heroic spirit of a man in his eyes, at first glance, it would have made people misunderstand that it was a stunning beauty dressed in a man.

"Old Duke, sit down!" Seeing that Duke An got up, Master Jia stepped forward in a few steps. Before Duke An had already helped him sit down, he said warmly: "The old Duke comes here at this time, and there must be a big deal. Those false gifts will be spared!"

His voice was very gentle and his movements were gentle. He helped Duke An to sit down, like a junior serving his elders, and seemed very humble. If the person who did not know the truth or the truth saw it, he thought this was a warm picture of a kind and filial grandson.

Duke An Guo sat down and someone had already changed the tea. King Ying of Han sat down and ordered: "Go down. Without my command, no one is allowed to come in!"

After all the servants served, Duke An Guo said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, the old minister is here to disturb you at this time. There is indeed a major event to report to Your Highness!"

"The old man has something to do, but it's okay to say it." The King of Han always had a faint smile on his face. The smile was like the spring breeze, which made people feel very obedient. The handsome face that was comparable to a beautiful woman, so when he smiled, he was a little shy.

Duke An Guo sighed: "Your Highness knows the red and silver book, and there is something wrong with the red and silver book of the Ministry of Revenue!"

The King of Han did not show any surprise, and still Yun Danfeng asked lightly: "Is there a problem with the accounts?" Then he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be so. If there is only a problem with the accounts, the old Duke would not come to me in the morning." He seemed to understand something, leaned on the chair, rubbed his temples gently with one finger, and said, "Is there something wrong with the account book on Hu Bufan? It was stolen?"

Duke An was shocked. Although he knew that King Han had always been extremely intelligent, he still could not have expected such a major event. The King of Han could guess it with just one guess.

"Yes!" Duke An narrowed his eyes: "I originally had to check the accounts of Hu Bufan for the past six months with him in the past two days, but just tonight, the account book in Hu Bufan's hand was suddenly lost. Hu Bufan had just arrived at the old minister's mansion and reported the matter. The old minister felt that the matter was of great importance, so he came to disturb Your Highness at this time!"

The King of Han sighed lightly: "Hu Bufan was too careless in doing things. Didn't he know that the account book was closely related to his life?" There was no look of fear on his face, but only a shallow regret.

An Guogong said justice: "Hu Bufan has reported the whole story, and the other party has set a trap, and Hu Bufan is confused and falls into a trap." He immediately reported what Hu Bufan reported to the King of Han.

The King of Han looked calm and said calmly: "Old Duke, it seems that there is a traitor around us!"

An Guo said justice: "The old minister thought so. The red and silver book is an absolutely confidential matter. There are only a few people who know it, and these people have always been loyal. The old minister was unable to determine who was the traitor for a moment."

"The people on the old Duke's side should not be a big problem." The King of Han was still rubbing his temples gently. His movement looked very leisurely: "If something goes wrong, it should be that something happened to Hu Bufan. On Hu Bufan's side, it is said that Wu Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also knew about this."

"Yes!" Duke An Guo nodded and said, "The red and silver book in Hu Bufan's hand has always been handled by Lang Wuxu, and Lang Wuxu is also the old minister who is placed beside Hu Bufan." He frowned slightly and asked, "Do you think Lang Wuxu is a traitor?"

"I don't mean this." The King of Han smiled gently, "I just think Lang Wuxu might have accidentally leaked the news. I know that generations of the Lang family have been disciples of the old Duke, and Lang Wuxu was cultivated by the old Duke. Lang Wuxu was also involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. If he leaked the news, it seemed that it would not be of any benefit to him, but...!" He stared at Duke An and smiled gently, "The most difficult thing in the world is the hearts of people, and people's hearts are often confused about certain things for a while, so...!" He did not continue to say it.

Duke An Guo said solemnly: "The old minister understands what your highness is thinking."

"But we cannot trust others easily, but we cannot wrongly accuse our loyal subordinates." The King of Han pondered slightly before slowly saying: "The old Duke is extremely wise. I guess this matter can be handled well." He did not talk about the reason why Lang Wuxu might betray him, but just summarized his judgment in his heart in the simplest words.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Duke An of the Kingdom of China was obviously quite respectful to the King of Han and whispered: "What the old minister is worried about now is the whereabouts of the red and silver book."

The Han King said: "Since the other party has been trying hard to make the Red Silver Book and has been successful, this storm is unavoidable. Perhaps after dawn, a storm will begin to come." After a pause, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Old Duke, will the Red Silver Book affect you?"

"Your Highness can rest assured." Duke An Guo immediately said: "The red and silver books are all accounts of the Ministry of Revenue. The old minister had already carefully handled the income and expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue before, and would not involve the old minister. But...!" A worry appeared between his eyebrows: "If someone uses the red and silver books to make a big move, we will inevitably suffer a heavy blow to the foundation of complementary forces, and the account books involve many officials in the court and the opposition. Once things really get bigger, many officials on our side will inevitably be dismissed, which will be a big blow to us."

The King of Han sighed: "This matter is big or small, not something we can control. It is all in the mind of the father. If we want to notify them at this time, it is too late. It depends on whether the father is happy to turn the Qin Dynasty upside down at this time. According to my estimate, the Censorate and Dali Temple will probably jump out this time. If the matter really starts, the old Duke can first use the people of the Ministry of Justice to restrain Dali Temple so that Dali Temple cannot let go quickly. If the Censorate, I will do my best to restrain it. Since a storm is about to strike, we will do our best to keep as much as we can!"

Duke An Guo and King Han were both extremely smart. They knew that this time was no longer anger, but had to quickly come up with countermeasures. The red and silver book was of great importance. Since it was lost, even King Han and Duke An Guo themselves would not be affected. However, there were many officials in the Han Wang Party who would be involved. A huge loss was inevitable. For the sake of the present, it was a dream to be unscathed. It was only to delay time as much as possible, so that those officials involved could quickly prepare and minimize the losses.

"As for that Shangshu Hu...!" The King of Han thought for a while, got up and said with a smile: "Old Duke, please wait a moment!" He stood up and came out for a moment, holding an exquisite little porcelain bottle and put it on the desk beside Duke An. Wen Yan said: "This is a good thing I treasure. It has a good name called "Drunk Life and Dreams". As long as you add a few drops to the wine, you will be like in a dream, and you will never wake up, or you will never want to wake up." He waved his hands and sat down gracefully, saying: "Hu Bufan must be very scared now, and he will definitely be very nervous. I will give him this good thing, so that after he goes back, he will drink it earlier, and no longer be afraid there. The big things will have nothing to do with him!"

Duke An Guo picked up the small porcelain bottle, put it in his sleeve, stood up, and bowed respectfully, "Old me first, let's leave!"
