It turned out that Qin Fei asked Zhang Jinzhong to go down the mountain that day, in addition to finding out the news, more importantly, he ordered him to leave a secret message and recruit a few secret guards that Qin Fei had arranged before. Qin Fei was escorted by these secret guards all the way into Shu through the Bao Slope Road, and arrived in Meizhou in less than a day. As early as a few years ago, he sent Zhang Jinzhong to Phoenix Mountain in western Sichuan to meet his brother, and by the way, he sent him a job to take over what his younger brother Zhang Dingzhong was busy with, and replaced Zhang Dingzhong to Meizhou to see Qin Fei.

"Your Highness, that Zhang Dingzhong has been in Phoenix Mountain for a while and has a foundation, why should he be replaced by his brother who is not familiar with life?" Qin Fei's previous personal secret guard Qiu Wu finished the matter that Qin Fei had told him before, and he also rushed to Meizhou.

At this time, Cai Wei came in with a decoction, and said with a smile: "Because that Zhang Dingzhong is young and vigorous in the end, and he is not as stable as his brother when dealing with all kinds of people, and he is more comprehensive, and his momentum is just right for sending him to the sea to sail away, but he can break out of the world." However, Zhang Jinzhong was able to take seven or eight hundred people from a village to escape with him before, which shows that he is also a person with a leader, and he handed over Zhang Dingzhong's work to him, but he was afraid that he would be able to gather people's hearts even more. Your Highness, am I right? ”

Qin Fei pulled her to his side and said with a smile: "Those who know me, my wife is also." ”

Qiu Wuyi saw that the two of them were going to show affection again, so he didn't even say a word about retirement, so he hurriedly withdrew, anyway, he said that the two of them were also deaf.

"Pills again?" Qin Fei looked at the bowl of black decoction in Cai Wei's hand with a disgusted expression.

Cai Wei is also a little helpless, she is a man who is more afraid of drinking these bitter medicine juices than women, these days she has used up all kinds of means of coercion and temptation in order to coax him to drink the medicine obediently, and she has to change new tricks every day to coax him.

When she saw that Qin Fei was arrogant here again, she took out a plum blossom candy from her sleeve and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile: "If you obediently drink this decoction, I will kiss it...... Feed you candy, okay? ”

Qin Fei immediately picked up the medicine bowl without saying a word, drank it in one go, and then waited for his mother's soft cherry lips to feed him candy.

But I saw Cai Wei pick up a plum candy and hand it to his lips, "Well, I mean what I say, since I promised to feed you candy with my own hands, I will never fake others." ”

was so angry that Qin Fei hugged her, pressed her lips, and kissed her vigorously before unceremoniously snatching the candy in her mouth into her mouth, and didn't forget to tease her, "It's still sweeter than the sugar you contained." ”

Although Cai Wei was teased by him a lot, she was still a little embarrassed, and pushed him away and said: "Your injury is just seventy percent healed, so you will be frivolous again, why don't you lie down quickly, so that you can live and recuperate." That Gao Zicheng has already hit Shanxi, although the court released the former military department Shangshu General Sun from prison and reinstated him to the post of supervisor, but that Gao Zicheng's men and horses have newly collected hundreds of thousands of hungry people in Henan, and now it has become a climate, there are many people, although Inspector Sun is a generation of good generals, but he is in a hurry to respond to the battle, if he can no longer be stopped, I am afraid that the court will mobilize the defenders stationed in Liaodong. ”

"Ah Wei, this is also what I'm worried about, to be honest, if there are no Jurchens eyeing you outside the gate, it is Gao Zicheng who has entered Yanjing City and sat on the dragon chair, I don't care much. Although my Qin family has sat on this dragon chair for nearly a thousand years, but this country was not taken from others at the beginning, whether it is surnamed Qin surnamed Gao or surnamed Zhao surnamed Wang surnamed Zhou, aren't they all my descendants of China? ”

"But if this great river and mountain falls into the hands of a foreigner, this king will never be able to bear it. Previously, when the Mengwu people exterminated the Southern Qin, the young emperor and the Empress Dowager Yang committed suicide with more than 100,000 people in the mountains and the sea, and the iron hooves of the alien races trampled all over the Central Plains, massacring the city, and eight-tenths of the Han people in the north were slaughtered, and implemented various laws and regulations, wanting to discount the bones of our Chinese people, and almost destroyed the Taoist orthodoxy of my Chinese for thousands of years, even though Emperor Hongwu drove away the Mengwu people and rebuilt the Yan Qin Dynasty, but now Fusang is still saying at every turn that 'there is no Qin country after the mountain', and refuses to recognize the Zhengshuo of my Yan Qin. ”

"I'm not afraid that Gao Zicheng will overthrow my Yan Qin's world, but I'm afraid that the Jurchens outside the gate will take advantage of the civil strife in our country and take the opportunity to raise troops to invade the country.

Cai Wei saw that he was really angry, and was afraid that he would be useless from his injury under the excitement, so he hurriedly persuaded: "No matter how worried we are, we have to wait until your body is completely recovered, and we can only leave when I find out the "Chronicles of the Sea" left by my father." Whether it is to prevent the Jurchens from dealing with Gao Zicheng or to appease the displaced people everywhere, it is impossible to do without money, but if you want to make a fortune by sea, you must have this Western navigation chart. ”

"When my father was dying, he said that he had collected all those rare books and the books he wrote in the bouldering house at home, and explained that it was in the Tianyi Pavilion, but I searched all the inside and outside of the bouldering Zhai, but I couldn't find the Tianyi Pavilion. I've read it, and I remember most of it, but the slightest miss would be a thousand miles away, and I—"

Qin Fei stretched out a finger and pressed it on her lips and forced her to the couch, "Look at your dark circles, but I stayed up all night last night thinking about where a small pavilion was hidden by my father-in-law that day, and my injury was not good, Zhang Dingzhong only came to this house yesterday, so let him rest for a few days before sending him to Quanzhou." We are not in a hurry, look for it slowly, sometimes the more you are in a hurry to find it, the more it will not come out, and when you don't look for it, it may come out on its own one day. ”

Cai Wei was forcibly pulled to the couch by him, and he pressed here and there on his body, pinched there, and a wave of sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep after a while.

Qin Fei looked at her sleeping face and couldn't help but secretly kiss her on the forehead several times, and carefully covered her with the quilt, although he coaxed Cai Wei to sleep, he didn't plan to rest for lunch, closed his eyes and began to ponder the current situation in the country. He had to think about all the possible trends of the current situation, and then come up with a way to deal with it, especially if the Jurchens really invaded Shanhaiguan, then the Yanjing Dynasty would have both internal strife and external troubles, how should such a mess be cleaned up?

In order to prevent Cai Wei from being too anxious about where a small pavilion was hiding that day, he hid a news from her that day, although the court also sent several reinforcements from Henan and Hunan to aid Inspector Sun, but those reinforcements deliberately delayed, so that Inspector Sun hastily led a lone army to fight against several times his own enemy soldiers in Taiyuan, and was outnumbered and defeated and died. Gao Zicheng's men and horses have already reached Baoding Mansion, which is only a few hundred miles away from Yanjing City.

It is said that the Chinese military forces of the DPRK had already panicked, and issued five Qin Wang edicts in one day, and Choi Sangti yì gathered all the available troops from Gyeonggi and sent them to Baoding to resist the enemy first, and he always had to defend the capital no matter what. Originally, there were 20,000 black-clothed guards under An Chengxu in Beijing, and their military salaries had never been in arrears, and they could be said to be full of soldiers, but no matter how hard the ministers persuaded them, Emperor Lin De and Empress Dowager Sun just refused to agree to send out this elite army, saying that they would rely on them to guard the palace.

But the other soldiers had already been in arrears for three or four years, and they all asked the court to make up for their arrears before they were willing to set off. Emperor Lin De asked the household department to take out the money, and the household department simply presented all the account books to Emperor Lin De, and then took off his official hat and resigned, saying that he was incompetent, and he was in charge of the household department for three years, and collected many taxes every year, but he still could not fill the empty treasury, and now the silver available in the treasury is only one hundred taels, and he asked Emperor Lin De to dismiss him and send him to prison.

Cui Xiang gave Emperor Lin De an idea, saying that the Empress Dowager Sun's private treasury was quite rich, so it was better to ask the Empress Dowager to borrow some silver first. Emperor Lin De knew that his old lady loved money like life, and he hesitated to tell his old mother, but the Empress Dowager Sun ran to the main hall with a silver basin and the only stupid son of Emperor Lin De the next day, threw the basin to the ground, and said: "There are only these in the palace, so I simply sold my wife and little prince to raise military salaries." ”

Seeing that this fire is about to burn to the eyebrows, the queen mother is still such an iron rooster miser, what else can the ministers say after looking at each other, all of them are disheartened, this is the world of the old Qin family, the Empress Dowager Sun, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, is not in a hurry, what are they anxious about.

But what made them even more chilling was that Empress Dowager Sun was reluctant to take out the money she had looted for military salaries, but asked the ministers to donate money and food generously to help the court get through this difficulty.

Qin Min also wrote at the end of the letter: "The Sun family has the intention of abandoning the capital, and requisitioned all the big ships to move the things in the palace to Jinling down the canal. ”

When Qin Fei read the secret letter that his brother Qin Min gave him, he couldn't wait to give birth to his wings, and immediately flew back to Yanjing City to kill the old witch with a sword. Have money to feed the black-clothed guards, but they are reluctant to make up for the arrears of the soldiers? Such a stupid woman, God simply sent her to destroy their Great Qin for thousands of years.

It's just that even if he can fly back to Yanjing City immediately, if he doesn't have enough money, he won't be able to turn the tide. Although he has the intention to take over all the private houses that Empress Dowager Sun has saved over the years, it is not something that can be done in a moment with black-clothed guards guarding him.

Sure enough, as the proverb says: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." "There are times in this world when it's really hard to do without money.

He was thinking about a headache, when he suddenly heard Cai Wei shouting: "I know, I found it, I know it......"

Then I saw her sit up from the bed, her eyes wide open, shining, "I know where my father said that day a small pavilion is hidden, it turns out that this mystery is hidden in my Zhou family's Zhou family motto." ”
