Chapter 351 Still Water

"Third brother has lost a lot of weight and is not as sturdy as before."

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang was passing by riding a iron-eating beast and suddenly appeared from the side.

"Is this what you should say? You are so disrespectful."

The third prince Qin Mingjin spoke in a gentle voice, with a smile on his lips. He was like a ball of temperless cotton, gentle and kind.

"Isn't this Father's pet? You're riding it? Aren't you afraid that Father will beat you?"

"Third brother, do you have bad eyesight? This is the cub that my sixth brother sent to me. It is the offspring of the iron-eating beast in Madam Yi's mansion. I personally raised it. It has just reached adulthood."

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang leaned over, grabbed the iron-eating beast's neck, buried his face in its fur, and rubbed it hard.

Qin Mingjin didn't comment, but nodded nonchalantly, "If there's nothing else, Third Brother will go back."

Qin Mingzhang can ride whatever he wants, as long as it doesn't want to ride on his head, it has nothing to do with him.

He had just come back from outside and hadn't even celebrated the New Year. When he arrived at the mansion, he got off his horse, packed up casually and went into the palace to meet the emperor. He was very sleepy now.

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang looked up and down at his dusty third brother, "How did you do what our father asked you to do?"

"Why do you ask?" The third prince Qin Mingjin frowned when he heard this.

"My father came to me a few days ago and told me that after my seventh and eighth brothers and I get married, we should go to East Guangdong immediately, take the water route to South Guangdong, and then go to Annan from South Guangdong to inspect the navy of the two Guangdongs, as well as the military, political and civil affairs of Annan.

My seventh and eighth brothers and I received a mission for the first time. Although the assignments were different from those of my third and fourth brothers, there were some things in common.

I heard that my third and fourth brothers were about to return from their inspection of the salt business, so I came here to try my luck and see if I could bump into them and ask them something. "

The third prince Qin Mingjin looked his brother up and down and said in a gentle voice:

"Just inspect, and write down what you see and hear. There is no need to do anything extra. This is all I have to say. Don't speculate on anything else. After all, this is just my first serious job."

After saying that, he sighed leisurely and said with emotion: "Fifth brother has grown up."

"This is a serious matter. After all, I am the elder brother of my seventh and eighth brothers. I must set a good example. If I mess up this first job, I will have no chance to succeed in the future."

He just has a bad temper, he is not stupid, he does not rush around recklessly or walk with his eyes closed.

Qin Mingzhang grabbed the two ears of the iron-eating beast and ravaged it, while looking up and saying, "I heard that my third brother's grandfather, Li Mingfu, has returned to Beijing from Zhenzhou in Nanyue, and is now idle at home."

Qin Mingjin rubbed his face and nodded.

"I plan to take my seventh and eighth brothers to visit him before we set off. I wonder when my third brother will be free to go with us?"

"Come and find me then. I'm always free except now."

Qin Mingjin felt that the dark blue color under his eyes was comparable to the eyes of the iron-eating beast that Qin Mingzhang rode.

"That's fine."

Qin Mingjin was about to leave when he suddenly said, "Your fourth brother has a lot of experience when he is doing his job. When you see him, you can ask him more."

"Thank you, third brother, for reminding me."

"Your fourth brother understood the deep meaning of the emperor's father while on duty. He told your third brother before. Now that you are also going to do the duty, your third brother will tell you too."

"Please speak, third brother." The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang got off the iron-eating beast.

Qin Mingjin turned around and said:

"During the twenty-five years of peace and prosperity, officials of all ranks were immersed in the prosperity and peace, content to maintain the status quo, and even became proud and complacent.

When problems arise, they are simply covered up and the situation is glossed over. Unhealthy practices will grow day by day. Sooner or later, small problems will become big ones and will be out of control.

The emperor is not satisfied with the current situation of officials who are not interested in the outside world and strictly adhere to the doctrine of the mean. He hopes that our brothers can stir up this still water and turn it into running water by entering the court to do things. "

After saying that, Qin Mingjin turned and left.

After walking for a while, it’s time to sleep. He is about to faint from sleepiness.

It was also because my father’s power was too great, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

Before entering the mansion, Qin Mingjin took a look at the location of the imperial palace. His fifth brother's words today reminded him that his seventh and eighth brothers had received their tasks long before entering the court.

Over the years, my father has oppressed his subjects and turned them into cowards who are content to live from day to day. Next, my father will surely let his brothers accumulate merits quickly, grow stronger, and force them to fight.

Once the brothers start fighting, it's okay for them to compete or attack each other.

If anyone is confused and really thinks that the emperor is not strong enough to control them, and goes straight to the emperor, or harms the people, he will definitely die.

Just take the exam seriously. Why not read the questions carefully, attack the invigilator or tear up the test paper? Which brother would be so stupid?

Last year's fifth brother, this year's sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth brothers will also take their places. The game of chess in which father uses them as chess pieces and the world as the chessboard has begun.

Qin Mingjin covered himself with a thick quilt and closed his eyes. It was windy outside and a little cold.
