That's all! What's even more unrelenting is that

"For your own selfishness, do you disregard the lives of so many soldiers?" Ye Qinglan's eyes widened in disbelief, and a chill in her heart surged upward.

Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and there was coldness in his voice: "The battle for the throne has always been bloody, for the sake of a throne, don't say it's the lives of the soldiers, even if it is more lives, they won't take it seriously." Now you should always know how commonplace the death of the palace maid and Xiao Tao was that day. Not to mention that the prince doesn't care about it, even if it is the crown princess and Shen Qiuyu, how can they care about these two people's lives? ”

Ye Qinglan trembled unconsciously, and her whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and it was cold.

Having lived here for so long, she has been living in the illusion of prosperity and peace. It wasn't until this moment that she really realized. It turned out that the brutal battle for the throne was so bloody, and it was so close to her

"Lan'er, I've always lived in such a world. On the surface, he is kind and angry, but in private, he deceives and calculates, and in order to deal with a person, he can use all kinds of methods. Gu Xinian stared at Ye Qinglan and confessed for the first time: "I have never been a good person. Whoever provokes me, I will fight back even more. In my previous life, I was fascinated by a momentary resentment, and was used by the third prince, although I successfully pulled the prince off the horse, but I didn't end well. My family was ruined, and I also died in prison, and I died at the hands of a woman I never forgot."

Speaking of this, Gu Xinian's tone was a little bitter: "Before I died, I figured it out. In fact. The third prince was not at ease from the beginning. He took advantage of my jealousy and resentment towards the crown prince and turned me into a sharp knife. After injuring the prince, my knife will be useless. Even because it is too sharp, it arouses suspicion. In order to never suffer in the future, as soon as he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he couldn't wait to do it to me."

Cunning rabbit dead lackey cooked! Although this sentence is not good to hear, it is undoubtedly a wise saying! With the insidious and vicious nature of the third prince, it is not unusual for him to make such a move.

If such a thing is put on someone else, it may be a story that makes people sigh. But when it really happens to you, what kind of pain will it be that you regret it?

Gu Xinian's handsome face turned slightly white, revealing unprecedented weakness in front of her.

Ye Qinglan's heart was slightly sour, and she hugged Gu Xinian tightly: "This is all a matter of the previous life." Let the past pass. At least in this life, you won't repeat the same mistakes. It can even turn all the tables around. No matter what, I will always stand behind you and support you forever! ”

These words slowly poured into Gu Xinian's heart like a warm current, driving away the boundless darkness and coldness.

Gu Xinian buried his head in Ye Qinglan's shoulder and neck, drawing a steady stream of warmth from her body, and his body finally slowly recovered some temperature.

"What are you going to do next?" Ye Qinglan's voice came from her chest.

Gu Xinian took a deep breath, and his mind regained his calmness and clarity: "This time, the crown prince is still in charge of the war." The household department in charge of grain and grass is in my control, and as long as I do my best to plan, there will never be any more problems with grain and grass. However, after all, I am sitting in the rear of the capital. I can't do anything that happens on the battlefield. According to my estimate, the three princes will definitely do something from it. Therefore, General Shen must be secretly reminded of this. It is best to take advantage of this matter to let the third prince plant a big heel. ”

Ye Qinglan's reaction was very keen, and after a little thought, she guessed what Gu Xinian was going to do: "Do you want General Shen to do the trick." Pretend not to know that there are spies, and let the spies make waves first. When the evidence is caught, then take down the spy and send it to the capital in one fell swoop? ”

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Ye Qinglan with a smile.

Ye Qinglan immediately knew that she hadn't guessed it all, and she began to actively use her brain again, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "Or, do you want to use this matter to set up a game for the third prince and let him jump in by himself." When the time comes, the emperor becomes suspicious of him, and he can't blame others."

"That's smart!" Gu Xinian lowered his head and kissed her face: "The overall idea is like this, that's right." ”

The most clever way to calculate a person is by no means to frame him, but to use the situation to cleverly set up a situation and let him step into this situation by himself. When the situation is settled, no matter how clever and eloquent it is, it will be impossible to argue.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but sigh: "But I really can't figure it out, how do you set up this bureau to make the third prince convinced?" ”

Gu Xinian smiled and said nothing, obviously not planning to say anything more.

Ye Qinglan glared at him with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, how can there be someone like you, you don't finish halfway through your words." Isn't it fun to have people guessing here? ”

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and said in a slow and leisurely tone that was angry and deadly: "You will naturally know in the future." Then let Ye Qinglan ask how to ask, but she refused to say half a word more.

Ye Qinglan's torture was ineffective, she stopped her mouth stupidly, and then her mind quickly turned. However, she was really not very good at these conspiracies, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, so she simply put this question aside and asked the topic she was most concerned about: "If there is really a war, won't the relationship between Shen Changan and Sister Xiyu be delayed forever?" ”

Shen Changan has no other elders besides his father, and General Shen doesn't know when he will come back when he leaves. Isn't the relationship between Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu just delayed again and again?

When Gu Xinian heard Shen Changan's name, he still didn't have a good face, and snorted lightly: "Let him wait slowly!" ”

Ye Qinglan didn't even bother to stare at him. This man is so difficult and stubborn! Obviously, I have given in my heart, but I am still stubborn to the end, tsk!

The war is urgent, and the military department and household department are very busy. When he received the task of raising money and food, he had a headache about how to think about it. Even Qian Shilang, who has always loved to grab merit, refused to say much about this matter. Things naturally fell on Gu Xinian.

"Those who can work harder, you will have to worry more about this matter." The elderly Hubu Shangshu kindly threw this hot potato to Gu Xinian.

In fact, even if the head of the household department did not make such a statement, Gu Xinian would definitely take the matter over. However, since the dignified Lord Shangshu has opened his mouth like this, he is simply sorry for himself if he does not take the opportunity to extort!

Gu Xinian deliberately sighed: "The adult has a life, how dare the officials disobey?" But adults should also know the foundation of our household department, the first two years of the imperial court disaster relief, this year and two palaces in the imperial city have been repaired, and there is not much left. It is barely enough to meet the expenses inside and outside the court, but now it is really difficult to raise money and food for so many soldiers."

Of course it's embarrassing! If he wasn't embarrassed, how could he have to push this matter onto Gu Xinian's head?

Tobe Shangshu muttered secretly in his heart, and reassured him with kind words. All in all, there are a lot of good things to say, and there is not a word of truth.

Of course, Gu Xinian is not so easy to fool, no matter how he fools, he just bites and doesn't let go. Hubu Shangshu was relieved, so he had to smile again: "I also know the difficulties in this. In this case, I will give you the seal of the household department for the time being, and you can also weigh it cheaply. ”

After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for this sentence. Gu Xinian reluctantly nodded in response, and finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, this is an unbreakable truth! Only when there is enough grain and grass can the morale of the army be stable. In his previous life, General Shen lost this battle with all his pockets, at least half of which was due to the insufficient supply of grain and grass. The soldiers were hungry and complained one by one, and the coach couldn't do it no matter how capable he was.

Therefore, Gu Xinian worked hard this time to ensure the supply of grain and grass. The first thing to do is to concentrate the right to dispatch grain and grass into one's own hands. Therefore, the great seal of this household must be taken!

The next is to convene all the people of the household, quickly give instructions, and begin to audit the accounts and mobilize grain and grass, if it is not enough, it is necessary to allocate treasury money to buy or transfer grain and grass from all provinces and localities, which is cumbersome and does not need to be explained in detail. In short, I was busy until dark, and I still had a lot of trouble.

Rao is Gu Xinian is familiar with this affairs and has a lot of energy, and after a busy day, he is also dizzy and hungry. However, he didn't speak, and none of the people in the household department dared to leave.

Gu Xinian calmed down, smiled and instructed the long-term entourage beside him: "Everyone has worked hard today, go and pass on my words, just say that you will go to Yipinlou to order two good tables later, and everyone will go and have a drink or two." ”

As soon as this order was passed down, morale was immediately boosted. There were a lot fewer people muttering and complaining in private.

At the moment, there are people who arrange tables and other trivial things not to mention.

Everyone left the household in twos and threes, went back to the house to change into civilian clothes, and then went to Yipinlou. Gu Xinian is well versed in the way of being an official, and he is never ambiguous when he should put on a straight face, and he is definitely like a spring breeze when he should put down his body. This meal of wine was drunk until the time of the child.

Although Gu Xinian drank well, he couldn't stand everyone taking turns to fight, and when he returned to the mansion, he was full of alcohol.

Ye Qinglan was used to his late return from entertainment, so she didn't say anything, just brought a bowl of hot decanting soup. After drinking the sobering soup, the hot water for bathing and purifying the body was also prepared, and he personally served Gu Xinian to bathe and change clothes, and when he really rested, it was already two shifts.

Before the end of the day, Gu Xinian hurriedly got up and went to the household office.

After going out early and returning late for a few days in a row, Gu Xinian also lost a lot of weight. (To be continued......)
