General, he's cheating again

Waking up at dawn the next day, Qin Qingrong was woken up by Gu Zhen before dawn to go to court.Sitting in the soft sedan chair, he endured the severe pain in his buttocks and thought in embarrassment that if he had known that he would have to get up early this morning to go to court, he would have asked Gu Zhen for it another day.

Qin Xiaoxiao woke up and found that his brother was not at home. He guessed in his heart that his brother must have gone to court early.With an idea in her mind, she took her maid Xiaocui and sneaked out of the house.

Then the two arrived near Gu's mansion, searched around Gu's mansion, and finally found the shortest arhat on the wall, turned over and fell into the mansion.

When the two got up from the ground frowning, they saw Ah Ren and Leng Ji who were standing in front of them and staring blankly at them, who were exercising in the morning.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Xiaocui stood up and scratched their heads in embarrassment, then said with a smile: "My brother is worried about your family, General Gu, so he asked me to come out and visit him for him."

"It's just that Mr. Qin visited the general last night, didn't he tell you?"

Leng Ji and Ah Ren looked at each other, and then Ah Ren spoke strangely in a childish voice.

Unexpectedly, my brother would be able to do something like "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light the lamps." Qin Xiaoxiao has begged Qin Qingrong for a long time at home these two days, and Qin Qingrong did not agree to let him visit Gu Zhen. Follow Qin Qingrong to go to the morning and sneak out towards him.

"Ah... this, this... Xiaocui! How should I say it?"

Seeing that her lie was exposed, Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked the maid beside her for help in a low voice, but Xiaocui didn't know how to lie. After thinking for a while, she had to bite the bullet and start talking nonsense, "It's the young master, he went to court early this morning. From time to time, I sent a message to the young lady, asking the young lady to come and accompany the general.

right!The young master is worried about General Gu, he is afraid that General Gu will feel sad when he is confined, and stay in the mansion will be boring.So even though he had visited General Gu, he was still worried and asked the lady to come and talk to General Gu. "

Ah Ren couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words, then shook his head and folded his arms full of complaints, and said: "Then your son is really worrying too much. I think the general is in a good mood today. He drank three bowls of longan wolfberry porridge early in the morning, and even stole it." I ate quite a few quail eggs that I picked up.

Originally, I was thinking about hatching chicks, but now it's all on his plate. "

"The general wants to see who is speaking ill of me behind my back."

Stepping into the courtyard, I saw that Gu Zhen was holding a black jade fracture fan in his hand. He seemed to be in exceptionally good spirits, with a radiant look on his face.

"Miss, this servant feels that General Gu doesn't look sick at all."

The servant girl felt strange looking at Gu Zhen's face, she leaned close to Qin Xiaoxiao's ear and frowned slightly and whispered: "Didn't I hear that General Gu was still unconscious yesterday?

And Miss, General Gu is just sick and eats so much tonic in the morning, will it be unhealthy?This is wolfberry and quail eggs, be careful if yin and yang go against each other before you create any new diseases in your body. "

"Tsk, although I don't really understand these things, Miss Ben thinks what you said is right."

The two little girls huddled together in a dirty place, secretly looked at Gu Zhen and muttered in a low voice.

Gu Zhen couldn't help but be taken aback by these two people. After listening carefully, he finally heard Qin Xiaoxiao say something, "I will tell my brother when I go back, and I must ask him to remind him to be careful."

But at that time, Qin Qing endured the severe pain below him and stood in the hall, only to feel uneasy on his knees.

Ye Ru'an, who was behind him, sensed that something was wrong with him, and looked Qin Qingrong up and down carefully. Ye Ru'an's eyes finally fell on the bright red behind his left ear, and he couldn't help thinking ambiguously.

And Lin Wenshan, who was standing beside Qin Qingrong holding a wat board, also noticed Qin Qingrong's restlessness, but he couldn't help but feel more and more guilty, only when Qin Qingrong had already seen that the little Jiujiu in his heart was waiting for him to act and obstructed him.

You must know that today he wants to advise the emperor to open all the gates along the southeast border of the Great Song Dynasty. This is the request made by the King of Southern Fujian when he promised to cooperate with him.

In the past few days, the King of Minnan frequently sent letters to urge him. Seeing that this matter could not be delayed any longer, Lin Wenshan decided to ask Song Xun to deal with this matter no matter what.

He glanced at Qin Qingrong several times, but saw that Qin Qingrong was frowning, obviously impatient.

Sighing inwardly, Lin Wenshan gritted his teeth and thought to himself that Qin Qingrong would obstruct him no matter what, and it would be better to say earlier that he would not have to be tortured like this anymore.

He walked out of the queue slowly, raised his wat board in front of his body and leaned over to remonstrate: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Song Xun was still immersed in the water control plan that he had just discussed with the Ministry of Industry. Hearing this, he turned his thoughtful eyes to Lin Wenshan and said lightly, "If you have anything to say, Prime Minister Lin can speak directly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Wenshan sorted out his words in his mind, then cleared his throat and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the old minister has recently been inspired by the marriage of Bai Di and has already thought of a strategy to strengthen the country. The old minister thinks that if we want to develop our Great Song To become more prosperous, you need to increase exchanges with various neighboring countries around you.

In order to promote cultural exchanges, ideological progress and promote the economic development of our Song Dynasty. "

"Well, recently Huai Ji has often talked to me about some novelties in their country. If Baidi Kingdom hadn't visited our Great Song Dynasty, I might never have known about those novelties."

Song Xun looked very interested, and he said to Lin Wenshan, "Since Lin Xiang already has a countermeasure in mind, you might as well tell me about it."

"Your Majesty is wise, what the old minister came up with is a perfect plan."

Seeing that Song Xun did not reject this matter, Lin Wenshan gradually gained some confidence in his mind. He said: "The old minister remembers that the King of Minnan seems to have had many contacts with Baidi Kingdom, and he has been stationed in the southeast all year round, and the location of the King of Minnan happens to be It is the center of many foreign countries blending various cultures in the mainland.

The veteran thought that it would be better to open a few passes in the southeast and then instruct the king of southern Fujian to communicate more with all the countries that are willing to make friends with the Song Dynasty, and persuade them to follow the example of the Baidi Kingdom and attach themselves to the Song Dynasty, so as to expand the territory of the Song Dynasty. "

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Before Lin Wenshan's lingering voice was over, Qin Qingrong hurriedly asked to play: "Although doing so can indeed promote exchanges between countries and promote economic development, it will also bring unpredictable hidden dangers to Song Dynasty.

If these foreign countries have different intentions and secretly deploy their own troops in the Song Dynasty, then when the war is about to break out, the whole country of the Song Dynasty will be worried.There are constant wars on the border, and there is no peace in the country. "

"Hmph, according to the old minister's opinion, Mr. Qin is thinking too much. How can he assist the king to achieve great things?"

Lin Wenshan frowned and looked sideways at Qin Qingrong, showing disdain, "Nowadays, Gu Zhen's prestige is shocking the world, but a few passes in the southeast area have been opened and the King of Minnan is sitting in them. The old minister thinks that even if those foreign countries have such evil intentions, they must Not that brave."

"Master Lin."

Qin Qingrong didn't agree with Lin Wenshan's words, and he said seriously: "If you said that the way to assist the king to achieve great things is to use this method to give the enemy a chance to trigger a war, then I feel that since ancient times, there has been no wise king. For their own selfishness, they will trap the common people in fire and water."

Seeing Qin Qingrong's tough attitude, Lin Wenshan thought that Song Xun would be assassinated by him soon anyway, so he boldly assured Song Xun, "Reporting to the emperor, the old minister is determined to serve the country and has no different intentions. If we can make Song Xun The development is getting more and more prosperous, and the veteran is willing to guarantee it.

The old minister promised that if the Song Dynasty would suffer internal and external troubles in the future due to the opening of several passes, the veteran would be willing to bear all the responsibilities alone, and even if he lost his family, he would recruit soldiers for the Song Dynasty to calm the domestic disturbances. "

Qin Qingrong also immediately knelt down and advised: "Your Majesty, opening the gates may not be a good policy, but now that the national situation is not stable, and the border changes have only just calmed down, I think it is still not too hasty."

"No problem."

Song Xun is also tired of watching the sky from a well in the past few years, shutting the door of the country and living a timid life all day long. He looked at Lin Wenshan and made a decision in his heart, and his tone did not allow others to refute, "As a political elder who has gone through three dynasties, I believe in his The director's ability and structure must not be bad.

Since he has already agreed to guarantee the next incident, there must be no mistakes.

Alright, leave this matter to Lin Xiangqu to take full responsibility, and if necessary, he can go to the Chui Gong Palace to discuss with me. "

Unexpectedly, since that Huai Ji's arrival, the emperor's attitude towards him has directly formed a big reversal.Lin Wenshan looked sideways at Qin Qingrong with a face full of complacency, a provocative smile curled up on his lips, and then thanked him, "The emperor is wise, and this old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Not half a moment after retreating from the court, Leng Ji returned to the Gu Mansion with the news and reported to Gu Zhen in detail what happened in the early court.

When Leng Ji finished speaking, a trace of contempt flashed in Gu Zhen's eyes, and he sneered lightly, "I used to say that the emperor has grown up a lot over the years, but now it seems that he just behaved under the guidance of our Qingrong." some strike.

Now being bewitched by slander, he acts even more hastily and absurdly. "

"General, my subordinates think that the emperor probably wants to follow the example of the early Tang Dynasty when he opened up the country and once again create a prosperous and prosperous period of culture."

Leng Ji slightly frowned and analyzed in a deep voice: "However, in the early Tang Dynasty, the treasury was abundant and the military strength was strong, so they were not afraid of the threat of foreign hostility. Although the Song Dynasty has gone through three dynasties, the replacement of the first three generations of monarchs only took a few decades. .

During this period, wars continued and the people were uneasy.Now the territory is peaceful and peaceful, and the defenses everywhere have only reached the point where they can guard the defense.If the rebels really usher in a change in the future, the Song Dynasty will be like a tower with an unstable foundation, and the rebels can easily collapse it. "

"You're right."

Gu Zhen sighed with a slight headache, "I finally know why that old man Lin Wenshan has been making troubles these days.

He just wanted to temporarily restrain the general's hands and feet so that his plan could be carried out.

The emperor, on the other hand, listened to his nonsense in a dazed way, and made trouble for the master. "

Shen Mou thought for a moment, then Gu Zhen ordered with a chill on his face: "Leng Ji, send a message to the building to let them keep an eye on the King of Minnan at any time, it is estimated that there is going to be a rebellion in the southeast area.

I'm afraid that old man Lin Wenshan will make big moves in the past few days. You must always pay attention to the whereabouts of the Lin family and the envoys of the Bai Di Kingdom, and report any abnormalities at any time. "
