Chapter 135 The Old Emperor's Plan
Shen You also asked the folk masters in the antique street. The methods they use are different from those in the museums. They can look at Feng Shui.

The results were pretty much the same. They said the matter of the Great Qi Emperor's Mausoleum was difficult to solve, and if one could go to the scene and take a look firsthand, perhaps the judgment would be more accurate.

It was obvious that they really wanted to go and see it for themselves. They asked indirectly whether Shen You and the Tibetan Museum were working on a big project and expressed their desire to join.

It is not uncommon to invite folk experts to act as consultants when excavating large ancient tombs.

"I'm a repairman. If there is a big project, you won't let me go. You think too highly of me." Shen You smiled helplessly.

"Boss Shen, you are too modest. You are Professor Li's apprentice." The old master said with a smile.

When Shen You left, it was not completely without gain. He said that since these were fabricated records in fake ancient books, regardless of protection and illegality, it might be feasible to find a suitable location to start.

When they say attack, they mean to blow it up.

It is indeed not illegal for her in this world to move the imperial tomb of Da Qi, but not everyone can find this location.

The old emperor arranged tomb guards from several villages. As long as one village was implicated and something happened, the situation would be unsolvable.

Shen You put down the agarwood bracelet she was playing with, and put away the lantern hairpins of different prices that she had already made.

If it is made of pure silver, it will be sold for fifty taels, and one hundred taels = 15. The cost is not very high.

The gold one has to be sold for two hundred taels.

The craftsmanship produced by modern machines would be top-notch even in ancient times!
The cultured pearls above are not as lustrous as natural saltwater pearls, but pearls themselves were not cheap in ancient times, let alone ones of the same size.

This price is not expensive.

On the other hand, everyone inside and outside the palace in the capital of Da Qi has been puzzled recently.

The Imperial Master carried a small gourd with him every day, treating it like a treasure. The pink and blue beads really didn't match his attire.

The spies' eyes were almost worn out, but they couldn't find an opportunity to replace him.

After a while, someone finally couldn't sit still anymore.

The chief astronomical officer, whom the saint trusted the most, asked:
"The Imperial Master has never had a preference for external objects. What is the mystery of this gourd that he carries with him every day?"

"Who told you that?" The man in the upper seat sneered and looked up at the emperor.

"In the past, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had people who could observe the stars, read the terrain, and build the imperial mausoleum. Tsk, now there are only people like this left, who can only make cinnabar pills?"

He wasn't being polite at all.

Except for the eunuch who knew all the past affairs, the rest of the people present were somewhat frightened.

Everyone knows that since the saint's health began to deteriorate, his temper has become increasingly unpredictable.

If anyone else spoke like this in front of him, at best that person would be in trouble, at worst the entire family would be destroyed.

The position of Jianzheng is not high, but he has great power.

But after the appearance of the National Master, he no longer had a say.

Even though he hinted that the imperial teacher's lies were misleading and endangering the Great Qi Empire, he was unable to shake the other party's position.

He was slapped in the face in public, his face turned pale, and he hesitated for a long time, but seeing the old emperor's expression, he saw that he had no intention of speaking for him.

Finally, he lowered his head and dared not say anything.

Having climbed to this position, he is not an impulsive person. He will be patient for a while. When Prince Cheng sits on that position in the future, it will be time to settle accounts with the national teacher!
Everyone in Da Qi knew that the sage himself said that the national teacher could share the throne of Da Qi, and even the adult princes had to show him courtesy.

At this moment, the smile on the emperor's old face did not reach his eyes.

He was happy to see that the people below were dissatisfied with the Imperial Master but dared not speak out.

The Imperial Master has a flamboyant personality. Even though he holds a high position, his power was given by him. He cannot convince the people and cannot command the ministers of the Great Qi.

Just what he wanted.

"Of course these people can't be compared with the national teacher, but it's rare to see you care so much about something."

The old emperor spoke casually, and his emotions were not discernible. He did not expect the Imperial Master to answer, but he did not know what happened today, the Imperial Master actually admitted, "Of course I care about things given by others."

The old emperor was genuinely stunned.

The people present were also somewhat surprised. Was it an illusion? They always felt that the Imperial Master was showing off something.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, and when everyone looked at the thing again, they suddenly realized that its clear and soft style was something that girls would like.

No, is this why he is willing to answer???

Which girl could catch his eye? And looking at the entire capital, no real aristocratic family would allow their direct descendants to have anything to do with him.

No matter how high your status is, your reputation is really not very good.

Now that he is under pressure from the saint, any prince who ascends the throne in the future will most likely not tolerate him, so there is really no need to gamble.

Only those poor people with humble family background who just want to gain power would want to marry him.

There are also saints.

The saint wanted to marry the princess to him, and he had mentioned this several times, but was rejected every time.

Therefore, the old emperor's expression looked somewhat ugly at this moment.

Others thought that he wanted to marry the princess to the imperial teacher because he favored him.

In fact, for no other reason than to use this relationship to bind the national teacher.

She was Prince Cheng’s biological sister and the most favored princess.

He brought up this matter again two days ago, and today he is showing off the gifts the woman gave him.

The old emperor gritted his teeth and forced out his words, "It seems that the girl gave it to me. I wonder which family she belongs to?"

The people below didn't dare to say anything at all. They just hoped that they had not offended Wen Zhi in the past, and that this damn guy would not point fingers at others and take revenge on them.

"It's not any one." Wen Zhi said in a calm voice.

A commoner girl? Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and became curious again.

Who is so capable that he can make the imperial teacher refuse to marry the princess?
The old emperor's emotions softened a little. It was good that they were not from these prominent families.

Everyone else left, but the old emperor wanted to keep Wen Zhi for dinner.

They said they were discussing state affairs, but if they couldn't get the token back, Wen Zhi would have to take care of the state affairs of Da Qi, so he stayed.

However, when they sat down, Princess Li Jinghe was still sitting at the table, but the old emperor found an excuse to leave.

Wen Zhi stood up expressionlessly and was about to leave. Princess Jinghe asked, "Is the Imperial Master dissatisfied with me?"

Wen Zhi looked at the incense burner beside him and said, "It's been drugged, and half of it is in the wine."

The female official beside Princess Jinghe had a strange expression on her face and lowered her head guiltily.

"I heard that the Imperial Master has a woman he likes. This princess doesn't mind letting her into the palace. We don't have to live together after we get married."

Princess Jinghe spoke slowly, but her demeanor was not weak.

The emperor wanted her to marry him, saying that he was very important to the country.
If this matter is accomplished, Prince Cheng will have one more bargaining chip. Besides, the imperial teacher is indeed good-looking and will not humiliate himself.

The female official who administered the drug was arranged by my father.

"We can cooperate. If you marry me, my father will be relieved. We will work together in the future."

"I don't care whether he is worried or not." Wen Zhi said nonchalantly, "Didn't he tell you why I came here?"

The old emperor still wanted to use this method to plot against him.

When Wen Zhi raised his eyes again, his dark pupils held a cold smile.
"I advise you to give up these plans, otherwise I don't mind taking King Cheng's life."
