"King, Lord Wang......" Zhong Zheng raised his head with a shiny eyes and a trembling voice while holding the scroll, but he stopped as soon as he said these words.

The eyes that the prince looked at him were obviously wrong, although his face did not show joy and anger, but the prince had never looked at him directly for a long time. Zhong Zheng's heart was weak, and he changed his words: "Lord Wang, it is not advisable to sit on the same country and divide the world equally, but...... As long as you take the opportunity to suppress Imagami, you can act on the camera. After all, this opportunity was missed, and I don't know when it will ......."

King Tan looked at him expressionlessly, it was really hard to describe what mood he was in at the moment. It turns out that in the eyes of his subordinates who have followed him for many years and know him best in the world, he is also an unbearable character who can not hesitate to eat inside and outside and sell the country for glory in order to compete for the storage position.

He turned his mind in an instant, pondering repeatedly: What bad things have I done to make my reputation like this?

If I really join forces with them to fight back against the second brother, how many people will die under their butcher's knife before it happens, and how many women will suffer from □□them?

Not to mention that there is no morality to talk about with such robbers, with my current strength, how can I be sure that I will be able to fight against them when the time comes? I really want to agree to them, let alone divide the world equally, I can only be a puppet emperor at most, and I will be helpless to watch them spoil the Great Yan River!

Didn't I make up my mind about this group of foreign enemies in advance, and once I sat on the throne, I would do my best to deal with it? What my second brother is doing now is also what I once planned to do. Where is my Bai Yuanying so naïve, so ignorant, so ignorant! Where is it really so much worse than him Bai Yuanchen!

Sometimes I really have to be jealous of the second brother, the second brother is such a stuffy gourd-like person, there is no shortage of people around him who understand each other, as far as he knows, Fang Kui is one, if he hadn't used Fang Kui's family as a blackmailer, there was no hope of winning Fang Kui's defection. And that defection was also very limited, Fang Kui never provided him with any important information.

And Qiwen needless to say, after seeing Qiwen's wisdom and loyalty to her second brother, these concubines in her house who can only fight for wind and jealousy all day long, and can fight for a hairpin are completely inhuman.

Still looking at Zhong Zheng quietly, the anger that was tumbling in King Tan's heart disappeared by itself, and the rest was full of self-deprecation: What kind of evil did I create, and I was so much worse than my second brother?

Zhong Zheng finally couldn't stand being overjoyed by his eyes, and knelt down in fear: "My subordinates are guilty." ”

What is the crime, he vaguely has a little experience, but he is still not sure.

When Fang was at the height of his anger, King Tan had the heart to directly send this blind man who had been in front of him for more than ten years, but later he felt that others were not as good as him, and if he really dealt with him, he would only end up more lonely and lonely, so he still gave up.

"Actually, you have a saying that makes sense." King Tan lightly tapped the kang table with his fingers, his eyes turned to the side, and he had already made a calculation in his heart after thinking, "This is indeed a ...... Opportunity. ”

……

The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. This year, the peach blossoms in Liaodong bloomed later than the mountain temples in the Central Plains.

After nearly two months of tug-of-war, the emperor returned to Linming. Fortunately, the city has not been lost for a long time, and it has not suffered much damage, and the post house is still largely the same as when Qiwen was there.

The two peach blossoms in the inner courtyard are blooming, looking at the Shaohua full of gorgeous trees, the emperor secretly regrets: It's a pity that she can't watch with me.

"The so-called son of a daughter can't sit down. The commander in chief should look at the overall situation and not be brave. The saint risked his life this time, it was too much! ”

No matter how beautiful the peach blossoms are, they can't attract the slightest attention from Master Su Qianyingsu. Originally, he had always been very supportive of any decision made by the present, and he often came to play the round when the officials were noisy, but this time the behavior of the present was indeed a bit excessive, so that even Lord Su reluctantly chased into the inner courtyard of the post house to approve. Fight.

It was only because I learned a few days ago that a team escorting grain and salary to the north was intercepted by the army halfway and surrounded a mountain col. Jinshang actually rushed over to break through the siege and rescue with only 3,000 feathers, and before engaging in the battle, he first released a word to reveal his identity, and used himself as bait to lure the enemy to give up the siege of the grain team, and pounced on him with his backhand.

That's more than 10,000 enemy troops! Jinshang actually rushed up with three thousand Lin Wei to fight with him. I fought for more than an hour before I waited for help. If there is an accident, how can you get it! After all, he is also going to be a father, why don't you think about the women and children in the capital at all?

The emperor stood under the peach tree with his hands behind his back, bathing in colorful Luoying, and looked at Su Qianying, who had always been gentle and elegant, and was so angry that he blew his beard, and only felt full of amusement.

This battle had to be fought, and if he hadn't moved to relieve the siege, by the time the rest of the troops had passed, the food and wages would have been taken away by the He's army. It was not an ordinary grain and salary, but a large amount of materials that had just been collected and transported from the south, and it was a large amount of wealth that was enough to determine the outcome of the entire war, and it must not be lost.

So he had to take the risk. Besides, he doesn't think this matter is dangerous, just as the so-called art masters are bold, and in the eyes of outsiders, things that are dangerous are nothing in the eyes of people who have the ability and are sure.

"I heard that Yonghao has been collecting all kinds of tricks from the officials recently?" The emperor, who had been beaten for half a day, did not accept the invitation at all, but it was an irrelevant topic when he spoke.

Su Qianying was stunned for a moment: "The Holy One refers to ......"

The emperor didn't care about his pretending garlic, and said lightly: "Officials have always been people with low official positions and great powers, and they often influence the direction of major events in the imperial court. ”

Su Qianying's face was still calm, but a cold sweat was already dripping down her back. The purpose of collecting the handle of the speaker was to avoid outsiders in private, in order to control the speaker, but in order to pave the way for his own struggle for power, not "us". How this matter was known to Imami, he didn't have a clue.

He couldn't help but look at Qiu Yu not far away, Lord Qiu was bright and upright, and said with a hearty smile: "It's still Lord Su who is clever, what kind of thing is such a thing as a person who controls the officials, and Weichen can't think of it." ”

The two monarchs and ministers came and went and said a few words, both of which praised Su Qianying's unique vision, clever means, and extremely natural speech, but Su Qianying became more and more cold sweat when he heard it.

This is now taking power, suggesting that he should pay attention to the duty of his courtiers and not try to exceed his authority and etiquette.

Su Qianying was full of emotion, Dayan has been stretched for 288 years now, and it is the blessing of the society to produce such an emperor who is both civil and military, wise and martial, but it is not his own blessing, it is difficult to say.

If he is as easy to control as the Emperor Taishang, he is expected to be a powerful minister who shakes the government and the opposition and goes down in history, but now it will be difficult. People can only live for a lifetime, especially those who are conceited and talented, and cherish this life, who doesn't want to make a big show and leave a name for eternity?

That's it, let's keep my duty and be a loyal minister.

After Su Qianying retired, the emperor looked up at the peach blossoms again, and was stunned for a while.

During the days when he left Beijing, he got along with Qiwen day and night, and also discussed a lot of state affairs. Although the girl did not know much about state affairs, she seemed to have a clear mind and novel ideas, and some of the theories she said were often unique and even high-level, which made him very inspired.

He told her that the money was always beyond her means, and she couldn't always count on confiscating the property of corrupt officials to support her expenses. Qiwen proposed that we should start by reforming the tax structure, and that we should collect more taxes, but more taxes on the rich, and reduce taxes on poor peasants.

The Emperor was inspired on the spot: yes, the merchants' workshops along the southeast coast had become more and more prosperous in recent years, and it was necessary to overtax them and increase the treatment of the merchants accordingly. Shinong businessmen, those people have been in a humble position for too many years, and they are not even allowed to wear silk when they earn money, if they can improve their status, they will be willing to pay more.

Qiwen also said that the people of the same large land were generally poorer than at the beginning of the dynasty, in the final analysis, because the population was large, but the silver in circulation did not increase much, and the silver was not enough, so deflation...... Well, I can't say the specifics, but that's pretty much what it means.

One of the major reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the bankruptcy of the imperial court, but Qiwen's economics could not even reach the level of half a bottle of vinegar, and she couldn't say many formed theories.

The emperor was inspired again: yes, so we should vigorously encourage overseas trade and absorb the inflow of foreign silver! Silk porcelain and other goods are very popular with foreign countries, and Dayan has always been a good business with foreign countries, as long as the overseas trade is greatly encouraged, and then the appropriate amount of taxation can not only quickly generate income for the national treasury, but also guide the healthy development of a number of industries.

Now is the peak of his power, he says anything and no one dares to refute it, it is a good time to push the executive order, and there will be very little resistance.

At that time, he excitedly praised Qiwen for her insight, but Qiwen blinked and reflected: I don't seem to have said anything......

This time, the batch of food and wages he worked hard to save was the first wealth obtained from collecting taxes from wealthy merchants in Jiangnan according to Qiwen's construction. Because of his important connection with her, of course, he must do his best to get it back, and not let it fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Qiu Yu, do you remember how big your daughter-in-law's belly was when she was five months pregnant?" The emperor suddenly asked absentmindedly.

Qiu Yu, who was stunned, woke up suddenly: "Please forgive the saint, what did you just say?" ”

The emperor also woke up, and realized that his question was too inexplicable, and shook his head curtly: "It's okay." You are so soulless, you must still be worried about Yuan Ying's matter, right? ”

Qiu Yu locked a pair of thick black broom eyebrows: "I can't hide it from you, that's exactly the case." ”

Yesterday, he received a secret report from the capital, which turned out to be sent by the third prince, saying that he had received a secret letter from Guoguan Bai to draw him together to deal with Jinshang, and intended to plan and pretend to agree, so as to seize the opportunity to kill the enemy in one fell swoop. Attached to it is the original copy of the secret letter and the state.

What's even more divine is that the third prince also bluntly said in the letter that because he was afraid that the news would delay the time and cause the enemy to be suspicious, he had already written back to Heguo Guan Bai to promise to join forces, and at the same time followed the source to find out the official lines that had been bought by Heguo.

After Jinshang learned about this, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly ordered him to reply to the letter and play, and told him to keep exchanging information with the third prince in a timely manner, and at the same time, be sure not to leak the news.

It is not strange for the enemy country to win over the third prince, but what really makes Lord Qiu strange is the attitude of these two brothers. It seems that the third prince is not afraid of being suspected by Jinshang at all, and Jinshang really does not suspect him at all. How long has it been since the duel in the Imperial Palace, how can these two brothers completely look like they are protecting each other and trusting each other?

There were no outsiders in front of him, Qiu Yu followed the emperor and walked towards the hall and asked, "Master, you are really so sure, the third prince is not a strategy to capture the old man?" ”

"Of course." The Emperor replied lightly and categorically.

"Then," Qiu Yu hesitated, "Do you think that the Third Prince will submit to us from now on, and will no longer covet the throne?" ”

"Of course—no." The emperor glanced back at him, and there was also some incomprehensible loneliness and helplessness in his heart.

Is it so hard to understand that there is only a clear distinction between public and private?

Of course, Yuan Ying will not be obedient, and of course he will covet the throne, but it does not mean that he will be stupid to the point of communicating with foreign enemies. Of course, he and Yuan Ying will not turn enemies into friends, of course they are still enemies, but enemies may also have common enemies, and there can also be times when they join forces temporarily.

This is like a family of brothers usually fighting with their heads and bleeding, but as soon as they encounter outsiders hitting the house, the two brothers can immediately turn the spearhead and unite with the outside world, and no one will try to use the power of foreign enemies to deal with the brothers and finally lead the family property outflow.

That's what smart people do. Neither he nor Yuan Ying are stupid.

Winning the battle in front of them and completely eliminating the threat of Heguo to Dayan is definitely a matter of benefit to both of them. Yuan Ying's choice is fundamentally logical.

The emperor was very emotional, Qiu Yu still reacted like this, if Qiwen heard that he was going to join forces with Yuan Ying to deal with foreign enemies now...... That girl has to be fried.

From the recent correspondence, it can be seen that the girl's temper seems to have become worse and worse since she became pregnant, and when the subordinates of the Tongguò Dongchang learned that Yuan Ying's mansion had hired a new cook or raised an extra dog, she could get angry, thinking that Yuan Ying was planning a conspiracy again.

The emperor was really helpless, but at the same time, he really wanted to quickly hold the puffing pregnant woman in his arms and rub and caress her infinitely.

It's been more than five months, and the emperor is imagining what kind of round belly she will have. Looking at the previous anxious war situation, he always felt pessimistic, and he didn't know how many years and months he would be able to get out of this war quagmire, but now with the help of Yuan Ying's incision, it must have been much smoother, presumably ...... I'm hoping to rush back before she gives birth, right?

The capital is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and Qiwen's belly is getting bigger day by day.

Recently, there is a consensus in Zhiyang Palace: Concubine Chen's mother's appearance is very good, and her physique is also very good, but her temper is not very good. However, because the mother is good, she often loses her temper with someone as soon as she loses her temper, and she quickly turns to appease: Don't mind, my temper is all because I am pregnant, and I can't help it.

In addition to the queen mother and the queen mother, almost as long as they are reliable people, they have experienced the stick of Concubine Chen's tantrum and the sweet date of appeasing and apologetic. People privately talked about this mother's nervousness as a joke.

King Tan sent a secret letter to the emperor in Tongguò Jinyiwei, and Qiwen soon got the news, but when she wrote to ask the emperor, the reply she got was only to persuade her to restrain the power of Dongchang and not to stare at the Tan Wangfu so closely.

Qiwen is so angry! Why did their brothers love each other again, but they hid it from her!

The days passed between her being so angry and helpless, and one day the Lord Qian sent a secret report of fire paint with trepidation, saying that it was sent by the third prince. The third prince solemnly wrapped a fire paint secret report to Concubine Chen, this matter is to blame.

Now that Qiwen is a month old and her body is getting bulky, Qian Yuanhe is very worried about what angry words are written in this scroll that will make her angry and cause her to get angry, but she didn't dare to keep it a secret, so she still accompanied her to send it over carefully, and kindly built yì Qiwen simply not to watch it.

Qiwen opened it without any inhibitions, and sure enough, when she saw it, she was angry again. King Tan means to say: I know that you are guessing what the hell is going on between me and my second brother, and I also know that my second brother will definitely hide it from you, so it is better for me to solve your puzzle. That's what it's all about, you know? No thanks~

In fact, at this time, more than two months have passed since King Tan replied to agree to join forces with Heguo, and the war situation in Liaodong has already changed greatly on the basis of King Tan's continuous luring and high-level disclosure of the intention to use troops. The Dayan army had already taken the overall initiative, advanced the land front into Baekje, and opened up a naval battlefield in the bay, and it was imminent that a complete victory was imminent.

In other words, no matter how stupid the commanders of Heguo are now, they should realize that King Tan is a liar, which is already a secret that no longer needs to be kept.

After Qiwen burned the scroll, she shouted angrily: You want to be so angry that your aunt and grandmother have a miscarriage, it's not that easy! Grandma just doesn't have a miscarriage, it's up to you what's going on!

In fact, the king of Tan was just immersed in the sense of accomplishment of playing the enemy, so he made a mistake by the way, and he also wanted to play with her. A tough pregnant woman who is more than three months pregnant and doesn't know it, who would expect these few lines to make her miscarried?

Qian Yuanhe sincerely persuaded with trepidation: Anyway, the situation has been good recently, especially the capital has been calm, and the mother's body is getting heavier and heavier, so it is better to put aside business and recuperate with peace of mind.

In fact, Qiwen herself has long had this intention. The higher the month, the more small problems there are on the body, the feet are swollen, the calves are cramped, and there is often insomnia, and I can't sleep all night when I am strict, and I am groggy during the day, and I really don't have the energy to care about anything. Thinking that it had been quiet inside and outside the capital for a long time, and that nothing should happen without staring at herself, Qiwen simply resigned, no longer took care of the affairs of the East Factory, and raised the baby with peace of mind.

She naturally didn't think at that time that this decision she made easily would later make her regret it for many years, regret for many years, and it can almost be said that she will hate it for life......
