When Mu Qing and An Nu returned, they saw Lan Ruo guarding the door at a glance.
The man with a long figure stood there with the saber at his waist in his hand, his eyes not squinting, his feet slightly apart, and his back straight. Mu Qing walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Li is back?" β
Lan Ruoxian glanced at An Nu, and saw that the man just bowed his head and ignored him, so he turned to Mu Qing and said, "The prince is back, he is in the house, and he left a message that if Mu Gongzi returns, just go in." β
Mu Qing thought that Song Qianyi and Li Qianyu had already finished talking about things, and the two seemed to be very like-minded, and it didn't take long for them to unify their thoughts and reach a consensus.
Turning around and handing the things in his hand to Annu, Mu Qing whispered: "Just stay in the courtyard, don't mention the person you just met to others." Then, he patted Annu on the back, Anu turned around without looking back, while Mu Qing looked at Lan Ruo, whose face was stiff, with a polite smile, and entered the door by himself.
If you want to ask for Annu's favor, it depends on whether I agree or not, where is it so simple without sincerity!
Mu Qing is like a stubborn father who marries his daughter at the moment, pursuing it in every possible way, and he can't wait to let that person become a wife who will never abandon him for the rest of his life.
But after entering the door, those thoughts on the side have converged a lot. Mu Qing lowered his eyebrows and looked at Li Qianyu sitting behind the desk with a faint smile: "Brother Li has a leisurely demeanor, I'm afraid there is a lot of good news." β
Li Qianyu took his eyes off the scroll in his hand, looked at Mu Qing with a flat expression, and pointed to the chair in front of him. After Mu Qing sat down, he said, "This king really didn't misunderstand you. β
"What?" Mu Qing was a little puzzled.
"You don't leave home, but you can expect the big things in the world, no matter how big or small," Li Qianyu picked up the book again, "If it weren't for the daily life of this king and you, I would have looked at your ability to pinch and calculate and endless ideas, I am afraid that I would wonder if you are a fox." β
Mu Qing smiled, it seemed that Li Qianyu had said a ridiculous joke.
But on the contrary, he did not say anything to deny it. Although Li Qianyu's words sounded nonsense, Mu Qing himself knew that he was just a wandering spirit, but he was lucky enough to be possessed to live. It's not a monster, but it's also a ghost, and it's not much better.
Li Qianyu obviously just mentioned it casually, and didn't put it in his heart, but handed the scroll in his hand to Mu Qing.
Mu Qing took it, thinking that it was Li Qianyu's new assignment, but when he got it in his hand, he found that this book was very thin, and when he opened it, it was neither a subset of scripture and history, nor the art of war and martial arts, but a personal name, and each person's name was marked one by one with their hometown, official position, and hobbies. What's more, it is even as fine as having a few sisters and brothers, a few acres of land, and a few ploughing cattle at home.
Among them, there are not only high-ranking officials and first-class officials, but also many seven- and eight-grade sesame petty officials. Most of the names Mu Qing didn't know, and only a few of them were recognized because the names were too loud.
Mu Qing was horrified when he held this book, you must know that although this thing is thin, it is real information, and it is extremely difficult to obtain, such a detailed thing is really surprising, and the source of this thing also makes Mu Qing puzzled.
Li Qianyu didn't ask Mu to ask, but said directly: "This is what Master Meng handed in this morning when this king passed through Yihong Courtyard, and it was collected this month. β
Mu Qing's eyes widened slightly, so much, it's only a month......
"What?" Li Qianyu frowned slightly when he saw that Mu Qing was silent.
Mu Qing pursed his lips, and in the end he still said what he thought in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a beauty that misleads people." β
Obviously, Mu Qing attributed these things to all kinds of beauties in Yihong Courtyard, and those beautiful women obviously didn't just know how to fight against people's poetry, eat, drink and have fun, and they were also very good at clichΓ©s.
However, Li Qianyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, he squinted at Mu Qing, and seemed to be smiling: "Listen to the meaning, you have a deep understanding of what beauty is." β
Mu Qing nodded fiercely in his heart, but no, if it weren't for the beauty in front of him, why would he have squeezed his head and had to be a big official and in power, determined to be a master?
But he's not stupid, and no one who knows him now will admit it. Therefore, Mu Qing said righteously: "The saint has clouds, and he also eats color. Since it is human nature, there are few people who are exempt from vulgarity. But although I am a layman, I don't have time to think about it so much now, and reading and studying is the first thing. β
Li Qianyu glanced at him and didn't say anything, but just this glance made Mu Qing's back chill.
"Although you have a good brain, there is still some heat in this matter." Li Qianyu's slender fingers put on the table, nodded lightly, and then said, "People have weaknesses. Wine and wealth, this is the laity; Fame and fortune, this is Yaren. And the only thing that is the same among them is silver, and no matter who they are, they are rarely unmoved when they see silver. β
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had caught something in his head, but he still couldn't really think about it.
But I heard Li Qianyu continue: "Many of them took the initiative to surrender to this king, and the people standing behind them are all families, including the merchant family, the Qing family, and the big family. Everyone wants to work for the benefit of the family, and this king will give them benefits, help them circulate, and give them the opportunity to earn silver, and no one will refuse. β
Tempting to take advantage of it, although commonplace, is tried and tested. Mu Qing smiled: "That's not bad. But maybe there are those who don't like money? β
"Naturally. No one asks for differences, fame, power, money, beauty. At least if you find what you want, there is no one who cannot be restrained. Li Qianyu's eyes were a little colder, "It's just that this king hasn't lowered his status to let them take what they want, just use their weaknesses to threaten, and the result is the same." β
If you don't eat sugar, you will be whipped, and it is really simple and rude.
"The only exception here is Song Qianyi."
Song Qianyi's name made Mu Qing blink, and then he saw Li Qianyu looking at him, Mu Qing looked left and right a little blankly, and then said, "What does Brother Li think of me?" β
Li Qianyu's face softened, obviously the conversation with Song Qianyi just now made him very happy, and the rare Chao Mu Qing showed a smile: "He doesn't seek wealth, fame, profit, or sex, this king didn't believe it originally, but the painting you gave him let this king know what he wanted." β
Without Li Qianyu to say, Mu Qing knew what Song Qianyi wanted.
Do your best, and then die.
The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
This is probably the highest ideal in Song Qianyi's heart, this is a real man for the country and the people, he has a beautiful dream, and what is rare is that he is willing to practice it with his blood and life. For the sake of his own ideals, he could break with his family, and he could put himself in danger with the determination to die, and then "dedicate" himself to Li Qianyu, Prince Zhuang.
Startled by the dedication he used, Mu Qing shook his head and tried to draw his attention back: "Then how did Brother Li convince him?" β
The fingertips of the mahogany table that Li Qianyu tapped stopped, he looked at Mu Qing, and said lightly: "This king sues him, this king wants to be the emperor." β
One sentence made Mu Qing's face change suddenly.
Mu Qing's first reaction was to see left and right to see if anyone heard it, and then he found that he had overreacted, so he said with a bitter face: "Brother Li, let's just understand, don't say it, I'm cowardly, don't scare me." β
Li Qianyu sneered, as if he didn't believe a word of Mu Qing's words, but he ignored Mu Qing's reaction, and continued: "He asked this king, what is the emperor." β
"What does Brother Li say?"
"Let the people be happy, let the country be rich, and the four directions will come to congratulate and unify them."
==============================================================================
On the way back, Mu Qing was thinking about what Li Qianyu said.
The people are happy, the country is rich Mu Qing can understand, after all, as long as it is not a faint monarch, every emperor will think so, this is what the emperor wants to see the most.
But Mu Qing couldn't understand the eight words in the back.
The Quartet came to congratulate, nothing more than to conquer the Quartet and unify it, which means not only to conquer but also to win the battle and conquer the world!
As a reader of sages, even a slightly radical one does not dream of war all day long. After all, although the Great Zhou Dynasty was harassed by foreigners from time to time, it was still very powerful and wealthy in general. Generally speaking, Chinese people are peace-loving when they are small-rich, and there are very few people who want to go out and beat people when they have money.
Li Qianyu may be counted as one, when Mu Qing first read the book, he felt that this man had an inexplicable thirst for territory, he always liked to expand his territory, hoping to expand his country's territory to infinity, it seemed that what he liked was not the worship of others, but the pleasure of tight conquest.
But in Mu Qing's heart, Song Qianyi is an absolutely orthodox person, and now Li Qianyu has persuaded Song Qianyi with that kind of extreme thinking, which makes Mu Qing always feel that something is not right.
Thinking like this, Mu Qing walked to the door of his courtyard. When I opened the door, I saw Anu sitting in the yard holding a ball of snow-white things, stunned.
Hearing the movement, Annu turned his head with the white ball, and Mu Qing saw his own Annu's beautiful little face and the fluffy little snow ball.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you fat again." Mu Qing closed the courtyard door. walked over, bent down and picked up Mu Qing's gorgeous snow ball.
I don't know what Li Qianyu feeds it every day, he fed this little bit into the current little fat man, and the heaviness of falling in his arms made Mu Qing have to use a lot of strength.
Xue Tuan didn't understand that Mu Qing was laughing at it, so he just stuck out his tongue and licked Mu Qing's chin. The hot little tongue stuck to the cold skin, making Mu Qing smile and dodge.
At this time, he suddenly heard Annu's voice: "Master, Xuetuan has eaten the worms in my bottle." β
"What?"
"That...... Gu worms. β
The author has something to say: Xuetuan has eaten something terrible [Lie flat l3l4
