Imperial Demon Slayer Division

After hearing Gu Yan's question, Chen Cang sent a message and replied

"His Majesty had mentioned in private before that he wanted the Marquis to be the teacher of the Ninth Prince, and he mentioned it in court a few days ago. I guess His Majesty asked the Marquis to go there just for this reason."

After hearing Chen Cang's message, Gu Yan frowned tightly. He had never even seen Emperor Qin's face, and the Ninth Prince should only be in his teens. How could Emperor Qin choose him to be the Ninth Prince's teacher?

There should be more people in Si Nei who are more suitable than him. Besides, he is out guarding one side all year round and has no time to teach the Ninth Prince.

With his mind full of doubts, Gu Yan returned home and changed into his official uniform, and then followed Chen Cang to the imperial study room in the palace.

Chen Cang walked into the imperial study and bowed to Emperor Qin who was reading.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Dingnan is here."

After hearing Chen Cang's words, Emperor Qin put down the book in his hand and said lightly

"Let Marquis Dingnan come in."

Although Emperor Qin's tone was light, he was full of domineering attitude.

Emperor Qin is a man of great courage. Otherwise, decades ago, he would not have ordered the Demon Slayer Division to march westward and start a decisive battle with the Yaoxie clan in Huangzhou.

After receiving Emperor Qin's instructions, Chen Cang bowed again, then slowly exited the imperial study, came to the door, and said to Gu Yan, who was standing outside the door with his hands behind his back, waiting.

"Master Marquis, Your Majesty invites you"

Gu Yan nodded and said softly

"Thank you for your work, father-in-law."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the imperial study room.

Emperor Qin, who was sitting in the imperial study, looked at Gu Yan who walked in, with a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

The dragon walks and the tiger steps, and the energy reaches the sky. It is like a god coming to earth, not like a human in the world.

Walking three feet in front of Emperor Qin's table, Gu Yan clasped his fists and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Wei Chen Gu Yan, join your majesty"

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, all demon-slaying officials will see that the emperor does not worship them

This is not only a privilege, but also a kind of respect for the Demon Slayer Division to protect the people.

Emperor Qin nodded with a smile and said loudly

"Give me a seat"

The little eunuch standing beside him quickly moved a chair for Gu Yan

After Gu Yan sat down, he cupped his fists at Emperor Qin and said

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Emperor Qin waved his hand and signaled all the eunuchs in the imperial study to go out.

After he and Gu Yan were the only ones left in the Imperial Study Room, he said

"Ai Qing has been in the government for many years and has made great contributions to our Great Qin. I am also quite convinced of you. When you grow up, you can protect our Great Qin from worries for at least five hundred years."

When Gu Yan heard Emperor Qin's words of praise, he felt extremely sure that Emperor Qin really planned to let him be the teacher of the Ninth Prince.

Gu Yan stood up, clasped his fists at Emperor Qin again and said

"Your Majesty is so ridiculous. I cannot be where I am today without the training of the Demon Slayer Division and Your Majesty."

Emperor Qin became more and more satisfied when he saw Gu Yan being so humble. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Ai Qing, Chen Cang must have told you secretly that I asked you to come."

Gu Yan was not surprised at all that Emperor Qin knew that Chen Cang had secretly leaked information to him. Emperor Qin was a powerful ruler. If he couldn't even see through the eunuchs, how could he govern the world?

Gu Yan also answered generously.

"Eunuch Chen told me that Your Majesty might ask me to be the teacher of the Ninth Prince."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Emperor Qin smiled slightly and said

"My dear, I am sincere. Yes, I do have this intention."

After hearing Emperor Qin's personal admission, Gu Yan asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, I have been guarding the land of Yezhou all year round and have never been able to return to the imperial capital for many years. Is there something wrong with me being the teacher of the Ninth Prince?"

Emperor Qin slowly shook his head and said

"How long do you think I can live, Aiqing?"

Hearing Emperor Qin's words, Gu Yan's heart tightened slightly. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. God knows what Emperor Qin was thinking.

"Your Majesty is now at the peak of spring and autumn"

Emperor Qin waved his hand and interrupted Gu Yan's words.

"I am almost eighty years old. Among cultivators, eighty is not considered an advanced age. However, I am sitting on this dragon chair, responsible for suppressing the dragon veins. I have suffered the backlash from the dragon veins. My longevity is incomparable to that of ordinary people. different"

The previous Qin emperors indeed shouldered the important task of suppressing the Dragon Vein. If he were allowed to cultivate to the sky, he would have no choice but to close his eyes and wait for death a hundred years later. What's more, this generation of Qin emperors did not have any advanced cultivation.

After hearing Emperor Qin say this, Gu Yan knew that there was more to come, so he didn't say anything to disturb him.

Emperor Qin continued

"I want to make the ninth prince the crown prince, but the eldest prince has been fighting in the wilderness all year round. He has many generals under his sect and is the strongest among the nine princes. Although Xiao Jiu is smart, after my death, Xiao Jiu will not be able to defend him no matter what. Live in this throne"

Gu Yan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being rude. Since the eldest prince has been fighting abroad all year round, is the strongest among the nine princes, and is the eldest son of the emperor, why not make the eldest prince the crown prince?"

Emperor Qin seemed to know that Gu Yan would ask this question. Indeed, compared to the ninth prince, the eldest prince is more suitable to be the prince.

"I don't choose the boss because he is too similar to me. Yes, he is indeed more suitable to be the emperor than Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu can't compare to him in terms of essays and martial arts.

However, the world can no longer withstand the torment, and the people need to recuperate and recuperate. Xiaojiu, who has a gentle nature, is more suitable for the people of today's world."

Emperor Qin's consideration was right. From the perspective of an emperor, the world today does not need an emperor like him. This can be seen from the various policies introduced by Emperor Qin in his later years. The world has begun to enter a stage of recuperation and recuperation.

The Ninth Prince's ability is not outstanding, and he is not outstanding among the other brothers, but his character is in line with the general trend of the world.

If it were another era, he would not have the ability to earn that supreme position.

Gu Yan nodded in agreement. Qin Huang looked at Gu Yan's eyes and said in a deep voice.

"The most important thing is that the boss feels that the Demon Slayer Division is too strong. It is so strong that all the human races in the world combined are no match for the Demon Slayer Division. Do you understand?"

The Demon Slayer Division is the backbone of the human race. The eldest prince will ascend the throne in the future. If he wants to weaken the Demon Slayer Division because he feels that the Demon Slayer Division is too strong, it doesn’t matter whether he can weaken it or not, as long as it causes some problems to the Demon Slayer Division. , that would be an absolutely devastating blow to the entire world.

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Gu Yan's eyes. Emperor Qin's words touched his heart. His most important identity was not the Marquis of Dingnan, but the Commander of Yezhou. If the eldest prince wanted to move the Demon Slayer Division, , that would be equivalent to cutting off his flesh, which Gu Yan would never allow.

Emperor Qin sighed softly and said

"I want Aiqing to be Xiaojiu's teacher, not really for Aiqing to teach Xiaojiu anything, but for Aiqing to be Xiaojiu's backer. Xiaojiu's ability alone will never be able to hold on to this. I know that the Demon Slayer Division never interferes in the affairs of the royal family, but for the sake of the people of the world, I would like to ask my beloved to make an exception."

After Emperor Qin finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yan with hopeful eyes.

Gu Yan was also quite helpless about this. He really didn't want to be burdened with these troubles, but for the benefit of the company, he must stand up and take over this heavy burden.

"Your Majesty, I respect your decree."
