After Yang Fan left, Pei Xi was bored and played chess alone.

When other people play chess, they are often engrossed in it, and there is nothing else in their eyes, but Pei Xi does not. While entertaining himself, he pondered the current situation.

The reason why Pei Xi helped Yang Fan was not that he had a deep friendship with Yang Fan, nor that he was very optimistic about Yang Fan. If he had been optimistic, he would not have had this attitude. He did it purely because he didn't like Suvo, and he knew in his heart that the matter was not over.

As he said, Qin Wan only has two sons and a daughter, and Su Wo is looking forward to Qin Han and Qin Zhao losing their inheritance rights, so he carefully conspires to carefully clear up his own involvement when he pits his compatriots. didn't know that Qin Wan's control over the court was not something that Su Wo could imagine, and once he did this, Qin Wan would definitely be able to find out. At that time, not to mention the inheritance rights that Suwo didn't have in the first place, I was afraid that even my life would be lost.

Qin Wan is in his early thirties, and although it is not difficult to give birth again, it is still extremely dangerous for advanced mothers. According to Pei Xi's understanding of Qin Wan, she would not do this nine times out of ten. For the sake of the Great Xia for ten thousand years, she has only one way to pass her stepson. Even in the eyes of many courtiers, this path is the right one, or rather, this path is the most correct. Who made these old ministers loyal to the royal family always feel that Qin Wan's children should not be surnamed Qin, and they are not considered members of the royal family, and the inheritance of the country should still find a male from the Qin royal family?

The rivers and mountains are beautiful, picturesque mountains and rivers, who can not be tempted?

Calculating to Suwo, it is unlikely, that kid is very scheming, and it is almost impossible to let him fall into the trap ten out of ten. But who said that Suvo must be calculated? Like Yang Fan, wouldn't it be okay to add a handful of firewood to it with the help of Suwo's fire?

The battle for storage positions was already mixed with all forces, and everyone added some ingredients to it, and in the end it became a hodgepodge and a fairy game. In such a situation, it is too difficult to find out who did what, even if it is evergreen. That's why Pei Xi wants to beat Yang Fan, obediently, don't mess around again.

Pei Xi was able to help Yang Fan once because Qin Wan was convinced of Pei Xi, Chen Xuan and Pei Xi had the same interests in Suwo's affairs, and Wei Tuo owed Pei Xi a favor. There is a second time, Pei Xi may not be able to hold it, but the risk is too great. Pei Xi and Qin Wan I's best friends, even his father and brother were all taken down by him, not to mention a mere Yang Fan?

If Yang Fan doesn't listen to persuasion, Pei Xi's life doesn't have the words "mercy to his subordinates".

However, there is no need to find out.

Because, as long as it is pushed the other way around.

What he can think of, Qin Wan can also think of, and Wei Tuo will not miss it.

Of course Qin Wan could guess.

Surprisingly, she wasn't angry about it. On the contrary, her attitude was calm, so calm that all who knew her well thought that it was a prelude to the coming storm.

"When I was in Pengze, I saw the villagers working at sunrise and resting at sunset, diligent, and hard-working, but only with their families did they have a decent dress. If this is the case, I will pray to Heaven for a good year. Once the harvest fails, it may be the destruction of the family. ”

When Qin Wan said these words, only Yan Linge was around.

It is good to get a glimpse of the Sacred Heart, but if you hear the "stain" of the saint, you have to tremble, lest your life be lost.

How can a saint be stained?

It's not that she can't mention the past to Pei Xi when she was cold, but Pei Xi is from a noble background, how can she understand her state of mind?

Fortunately, there is Yan Linge.

Yan Linge listened quietly and didn't say a word.

Qin Wan and he knew very well in their hearts that for the rich Guanzhong, Peng Ze was of course a poor country. But looking at the world, whether it is in the clouds, the land of Yanmen, or the wild land in the southwest, it is much poorer than Peng Ze.

Peng Ze is close to the river, and the water and soil are barely fertile, even if the crop harvest is not good, fishing can barely feed the family. In addition, the acting king was exiled there, even if the future was uncertain, the local parents and officials did not dare to condone Haoqiang, and oppressed the people too much, which tired their official reputation.

Qin Wan once couldn't wait to escape from there, claiming to be noble, calculating everything for power, just to be able to hold his life in his own hands.

But when she really ascended to the position of the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, her eyes were completely opened, she truly controlled her own destiny, and regarded all the people of the world as her own people, but she realized more clearly than before what kind of life the people were living.

Even if it's a peaceful and prosperous age.

Even though it is a bumper harvest year after year.

What Qin Wan had in his heart, Yan Linge could guess a few points.

He was silent for a moment before he said: "In addition to the noble family of the high gate, only the teaching workshop can make people live a 'good life' of brocade clothes and jade food and silk and satin. ”

Yan Linge rarely took the initiative to mention the past, when he got along with Qin Wan, he was once cautious and observant, but later found that Qin Wan didn't like it, so he became more and more silent.

But Qin Wan treated him very well, very well.

In the end, the two have been getting along like husband and wife for many years, and Yan Linge has gradually lost his trembling appearance in the past, although he still does not interfere in government affairs, but there are some things, he will also say: "There...... As a teenager, there are many holes, and there are countless people who wrap a straw mat out. However, there are still many ignorant children who feel that they are good-looking, and they don't want to be subordinates, so they have to have fine clothes and food, high beds and soft pillows. ”

It stands to reason that such "lowly people" could not be mentioned, let alone mentioned to high-ranking women, because it would pollute the ears of nobles. But Yan Linge knew that Qin Wan didn't care about this, and Qin Wan really didn't care about this, but just said lightly: "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." ”

When they are dying of hunger, many people often don't care about those who are courteous, honest, loyal, filial and benevolent, let alone think about the future. What is there to sell oneself and eat one's child, is it a rare thing?

The righteousness of the family and the country can only be mentioned when the country is strong and the people are rich. Otherwise, the people will not have enough to eat, how can they think of anything else?

Hearing Qin Wan say this, Yan Linge still had such a faint expression, but those who were familiar with him could find that he was a little helpless: "In this case, the Duke of Xingguo-"

He only said six words, Qin Wan's expression had become very indifferent, if there was someone waiting for her by her side, she would definitely be able to kneel on the ground.

Yan Linge was not afraid at all, but said: "Xing Guogong is your eldest son, even if he has many shortcomings, he also has more strengths, doesn't he?" ”

Qin Wan thought very well, gave his eldest son wealth and glory, and handed over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to his eldest daughter or second son.

Yes, this is a good practice for everyone, but people are not livestock, cattle and horses, and they are not satisfied with three meals a day and food and clothing. Especially for people like Suvo, he is full of wisdom, long sleeves and good dancing, and has a high heart. Such a person makes him eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, which makes him more uncomfortable than killing him.

Although Yan Linge does not participate in court politics, he has a vague idea of what has happened recently. With his understanding of Qin Wan, Qin Wan was furious, and it was likely that he would order someone to discount one of Su Wo's legs, so that he would no longer have a way to inherit this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

But he didn't want to see that.

He valued Qin Wan far more than himself, so instead of taking the opportunity to fall into the trap, he said: "The criminal country has great talents-"

"But he has talent but no virtue!" Qin Wan coldly interrupted Yan Linge's words.

Qin Wan didn't know this, but her biggest concern was that Su Wo was not virtuous!

Yan Linge also insisted on it once: "Your Majesty employs people, are they all people with both ability and political integrity?" ”

Qin Wan didn't speak.

There may not be one in 10,000 people who have both ability and political integrity; Virtuous and talentless people are only suitable for being offered as a memorial arch; To really be an official, you still have to choose those guys who are talented and have not rotted their bones, and then use layers of laws and sharp blades to deter.

But these means are useful to courtiers, what is the use of the emperor?

The emperor must have the ability and self-control, and he obviously has the power of life and death, but he can't do what he wants. In such a position, how can a person without virtue sit?

Of course, Yan Linge knew Qin Wan's heart, but he had other opinions.

Everyone in the world thinks that women are ridiculous for the emperor, but you refuse to accept your fate, and you insist on fighting. Why, then, should you let your children go the way you have planned?

He didn't say it, but Qin Wan understood.

These deafening words have never been said to her.

The woman is the emperor, whether it is her or the courtiers, the first reaction is that the dynasty is shaken, and the country is eternal.

Why do you think this way?

In the final analysis, whether she is a courtier or a courtier, there is a kind of distrust in her bones. This kind of distrust is hidden very deeply, even Qin Wan didn't find it, deep down in his heart, he was still a little unconfident.

This lack of self-confidence is a growing desire for control.

This is not right, Qin Wan told himself.

When she was not on the throne, she formulated a policy based on Martial Arts, based on the control of military power, and suppressed those who were ready to make a move with an iron fist.

If this is the case, it is necessary to give benefits to the warriors.

For the soldiers, there is no benefit, it is comparable to a big victory!

The Great Destruction of Goguryeo was a good start, and the money, cattle and horses, and people that Daxia plundered from Goguryeo were ...... Not only is it worth the beginning of military spending, but it is more than enough.

Qin Wan had also been thinking about how to deal with Goguryeo before.

She originally planned to set up the Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate and incorporate Goguryeo into the territory of Bactria , and ordered the Goguryeo royal family and nobles to send envoys to the court to let these people study in the Siyi Pavilion. From top to bottom, gradually assimilated, but thinking of the failed practice of mixing sand in Liangzhou, I was a little hesitant.

But now, Qin Wan's thinking has been opened and he has gradually figured it out!

Whether it is her children or these nobles in the court, she is raised in Chang'an all day long, pondering one acre and three points of land, and her vision will undoubtedly become smaller and smaller, just like Wei Shuren, who is scheming for personal affairs all day long.

Expand the territory and glorify my Great Xia, this is what they should do!

Because of this, Qin Wan didn't say a word, but invited the prime ministers over and told them that the method of assimilating Goguryeo should be added in addition to the ones they discussed before.

That is, to send the sons and daughters of the nobles to the Northeast to open up wasteland.

In order to show his determination, Qin Wan had already decided that this team would be led by Princess Wannian.

As for Suvo, she had other arrangements.
