The Legend of Qin Chen

Establishing New Rules

Qin Chen let out a long sigh while shaking his head after hearing Jin Fan's report of the frequent arrivals troublemaking in the Imperial capital. The two people who had dealt with Jin Fan last night were immigrants from the Tang Kingdom.

In addition to the two people, there are still many other newcomers who often make trouble. Usually the people do troublemaking in a store or restaurant that is open until late at night, and take advantage of the care of the capital. Jin Fan who reported all that to Qin Chen after a night he heard Bao Yu's story.

Not wanting the same incident to repeat itself, Qin Chen gave official orders to Jin Fan to arrest those people and give them the harshest punishment possible, so that in the future there will be no more people like them who make trouble in the Imperial capital.

“Are any of them from outside the four Kingdoms?” Qin Chen asked Jin Fan.

“Your Majesty, most of those people are from the Tang Kingdom, and some are from the Zang Kingdom,” Jin Fan replied.

“Are you sure most of them are from the Kingdom you mentioned?” Qin Chen confirmed Jin Fan's reply.

Jin Fan heard that immediately shook his head. “There is a possibility they deliberately disguised their identity.”

Jin Fan explained his suspicions on their identities that were likely faked. Although their identity badges were the same as the new identity badges given to the original inhabitants of Tang Kingdom and Zang Kingdom, there was a hint of a stark difference seen in their identity badges, she said, with which the natives of the Kingdom came under the rule of the Shu Empire.

The striking difference lies in the type of permanent ink used to write the identity on the badge, which belongs to the entire population of the Empire as well as the inhabitants of the four Kingdoms under the rule of the Shu Empire. Incidentally, only Qin Chen, Liu Yai, Jin Fan, and Jin Yan knew that type of ink. From there it can be proven they are intruders, and that means there are already enemies who managed to infiltrate the capital with fake identities.

That's bad news, but also good news. Enemies can enter under false identities, but they can never get out alive because the way they infiltrate is exposed.

“Jin Fan, send your confidants to conduct an investigation into the entire territory of the Shu Empire! Kill in the place of anyone proven to be faking an identity!” Qin Chen gave a firm order to Jin Fan.

Jin Fan immediately resigned himself to work on the orders Qin Chen had given him, but before serving, he wanted to make sure of Bao Yu's state. Somehow he felt uneasy before confirming the state of the woman.

“It looks like he's already met the woman who made him interested.” Qin Chen could see the anxiety when he saw Jin Fan telling the tea shop owner woman.

He didn't care if Jin Fan was really interested in the woman, but he hoped that the existence of the woman would not be a bully, but rather be an encouragement for her. If the woman could become an encouraging figure for Jin Fan, she would not hesitate to marry them off.

“Before thinking about marriage for them, I better think about what I should do to the woman who sent me a cover letter!” Qin Chen looked at the pile of cover letters piled up on his desk.

“What Does Your Majesty need my help to choose?” Liu Yao suddenly just walked into Qin Chen's study.

“Yao'er, I'm not confused about choosing, but I'm confused about where to throw this! Throw in the trash can, just make them send it again and again.” Qin Chen began to despair with the cover letter that kept coming.

“Not only did His Highness get a lot of cover letters, but I also got a lot of cover letters from the young master of noble sons who applied to become my personal servant.” Liu Yao showed a cover letter which made her feel disgusted as she read it.

Many young masters of noble sons who said they were willing to become an outlet when Liu Yao was lonely because Qin Chen was busy with the Concubines. They are willing to do anything for the satisfaction of the women they serve, even if it puts their lives at risk.

“It seems like the young lord of the nobility is moving towards my Empress, while their Princess is moving closer to me. Absolutely disgusting thought,” Qin Chen said.

Sensing what the nobles of the Shu Empire were aiming for, Qin Chen established an official rule that an Emperor only had one wife, and the Empress would never accept male servants. The two rules would soon be disseminated throughout the entire territory of the Shu Empire.

Qin Chen ordered Jin Yan and Yan Ran to spread the rules he had just set. If anyone rejects the rule, Qin Chen gives them the freedom to express their opinions directly in front of him, but whatever opinion they give, he said, it will never change his decision because once he makes the rules, they will be forever.

...----------------...

After the new regulations Qin Chen had set were widespread throughout the territory of the Shu Empire, many Imperial nobles were not accepted by the fight, and they decided to process them directly before Qin Chen.

However, before meeting Qin Chen face to face, several nobles gathered at the residence of the strongest nobles in the Shu Empire.

“How can an Emperor only have a wife! The Empress is indeed only one, but at least she must have many concubines to give her many offspring!” The hosts of their meeting made a sound.

“That silly regulator really closed the chance that my son could enter the palace to become the Empress's personal servant.”

“So does my son. His chance to enter the palace was dashed because of that rule.” One by one the nobles began to raise their grievances.

“We must unite to force the abolition of that rule, all the while forcing His Majesty the Emperor to accept some of our daughters to be his concubines!”

“I totally agree. At that time I will also force the Empress to take my son as her personal servant! Although it is only a servant, there is an opportunity for my son to become a confidant of the Empress.”

“Then we just have to decide, when is the best time for us to go to the Imperial palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.”

“How about two more days? Coincidentally in the palace two more days will be held a banquet to welcome the arrival of winter.”

Everyone showed a smile hearing the opinion of one of them. Naturally they all agreed with it, and after the end of the event in the palace they would flock to meet the Emperor. They had two goals when meeting the Emperor. The first goal was to force the Emperor to abolish the rules they found ridiculous, and the second goal was to force the Emperor and the Empress to comply with their wishes.

With their big names and the power they possessed, the nobles were confident that the Emperor and Empress would obey their wishes. If the two refused, they intended to use military force to threaten the Empire.

At least if their entire strength were combined, they would have more than two hundred thousand soldiers, and they themselves would lead the movement of that soldier. With the strength of two hundred thousand soldiers, they were confident of being able to frighten the Emperor and Empress.

However, unbeknownst to them, more than half of the soldiers they had were Imperial warriors deliberately inserted in the noble families.

Although in the noble families the soldiers were getting very good treatment, but their loyalty to the Empire never wavered. After all they used to be nothing, but after becoming part of the Empire's warriors, their existence was greatly appreciated.

After their meeting was over, the nobles decided to return to their respective territories, and promised to regroup before attending a banquet at the Imperial palace. However, for those whose territory was far from the capital, they decided to temporarily settle in the Imperial capital.

“They are really a bunch of fools who do not understand that the rules are made to be obeyed,” said Jin Yan who was in the midst of the nobles from the beginning.

“They will only be bad luck if they feel their strength can be equivalent to the strength of the Empire,” said Yan Ran who was with Jin Yan.
