18 Chance encounter, assassination two

Qin Shou didn't respond immediately, and asked Su Lun with his eyes, as Su Lun's personal guard, he was still a master of the interior, so he naturally would not derelict his duties.

Qin Shou had been in the inner palace, and naturally knew that the man wearing the imperial dragon robe had ambitions in his heart, although he was now close to the age of the Mandate of Heaven, and the period of cultivation for thirty years had not yet arrived.

In recent years, the Hu people in the north have undergone cultivation, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and they have the momentum of waving their troops to the south and taking the hinterland of the Central Plains.

If the war starts, the internal strife will not stop, and under the internal and external troubles, the Xia Dynasty will inevitably be exhausted, and there will be a danger of social collapse.

Internal problems are the most urgent problems to solve, and only when there is internal stability can the people's hearts be able to move in one place, and only when the army is mobilized can they have no worries.

Although the rebel party has been dispersed, it still threatens to control many areas, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially in Jiangsu, which sits on Jinling, the ancient capital of many dynasties.

In recent years, Jiangsu has paid taxes, and after inspection and verification, it was found that the bulk of its head was basically not in the national treasury, but was privately swallowed by those big fish hidden in the court.

The officials sent by the emperor were either squeezed out or assimilated, and they all became the granaries and silver vaults of the hidden rats, supporting the growing forces of civil strife.

If Jiangsu cannot solve the problem perfectly, once the war ignites, Jiangsu will inevitably be the first to become chaotic.

Jiangsu is in chaos, and the whole body will be moved, and the two lakes region, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces will inevitably react, and these hidden chess pieces will work together to directly isolate the control of the capital over the Liangguang region, and the Liangguang region and the vast southern region, once out of control, half of the country will be gone.

Fortunately, the current emperor is a man of great talent, far-sighted, and precautionary, and has taken control of the vast southern region early.

He expected that the Bagan Dynasty in the southeast would invade the south of Caiyun and refuse to return it, eyeing the southern hinterland of the Xia Dynasty.

If the end of the war starts, Bagan will definitely not stand idly by, and will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

For this reason, in order to contain the southern Bagan dynasty and make it dare not act rashly, that person also formulated a corresponding policy.

The land of Liangguang and Sichuan and Shu accepted refugees from all the people in Yunnan The emperor allocated funds to help build houses and vigorously helped the displaced people, which made the people in Sichuan and Shu and Guangxi desirable.

The emperor naturally grasped the opportunity very well, taking advantage of the general trend, the Bagan Dynasty occupied Yunnan, and when the country was full of righteous indignation, a large number of troops were recruited in Liangguang, Sichuan, and Guizhou, so as to prevent the Bagan Dynasty from waiting for the opportunity to make trouble, and sought to expel Bagan and open up the territory.

Because of the recruited troops, most of them were refugees from Yunnan, which reduced the pressure on the Sichuan-Shu and Liangguang regions, reduced the chaos caused by the refugees, and also reduced the resentment of many locals.

Then there is Tubo in the Western Regions, although Tubo did not take advantage of the civil strife of the Xia Dynasty and broke away from the subject state of the Xia Dynasty, the population is sparse, and the strength is relatively insufficient, but it still shows ambition, and has not continued to make offerings for many years, and has also extended its hand to the Hexi Corridor area under the jurisdiction of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

Fortunately, the garrisons of the two states were tough and strong, and the spears and bows were strong, and they were temporarily retracted, otherwise there would be another civil strife in the northwest region.

Fortunately, all this was successfully passed, and the Xia Dynasty gradually returned to a strong atmosphere, so it had more time to deal with this civil strife.

Compared with dealing with external threats and dealing with internal strife, it is to make the person shrink back and not be able to deal with it forcefully, for fear of forcing those guys to jump over the wall in a hurry, and it will be tricky to deal with when the time comes.

But the policy of softness is not effective at all.

In recent years, those states and counties that have been ruled by the chaotic party have delegated a few cronies, but the results are not high, and the emperor is also very worried.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang and Fujian, control more than 30% of the economic income in the south, if there is this batch of taxes to fill the treasury, the war is also full of confidence, Su Lun in Beijing is known for his flexible mind, good at dealing with all kinds of tricky things, plus the second grade of the official residence, the official position is high enough, it is not easy to be frightened by those little minions, the ancestral home is also Jiangsu, easy to do things, so the emperor sent her.

In the past, the position of governor was comparable to that of a feudal official, and the area he ruled was never lower than that of the two provinces, generally the governors of Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.

This time, let Su Lun alone supervise Jiangsu, the emperor is really helpless, although he came to Jiangsu has the name of the governor, but he is subject to restrictions everywhere, the mouse hidden in the shadows, has already run Jiangsu into a big iron bucket, water can not be splashed, fire can not be penetrated, the one has already expected Su Lun to be angry, but did not expect to be so angry.

Although Su Lun has the means and is known as a virtuous person in the capital, but in the face of the mess in Jiangsu, he is like an egg, squeezed in the center by other eggs, unable to move and fragile, restrained left and right, and unable to move at all.

This is also the reason why he was governor of Jiangsu for two years, but he did not achieve anything in major affairs.

"Qin Shou, you also sit down, don't be restrained." Su Lun said: "Brother Lin is right, although you are my bodyguard, but you have also followed me to protect me for many years, and you are protecting me in the capital, so how about making a New Year's friendship between us?" ”

Seeing that Su Lun also requested, Qin Shou was a little flattered: "My lord, this ...... Doesn't make sense? ”

"What doesn't make sense, don't be like those inflexible old sour Confucians, elm has a head." Lin Yang pulled his clothes: "You are so pestleed, the sword in your hand is so conspicuous, you can know who you are guarding at a glance, just exposing the target in vain, it's really stupid." ”

"What Brother Lin said is reasonable, don't pestle."

Su Lun also said, Qin Shou sat down upright, put the sword across his waist, so that he could draw the sword at any time, and said respectfully: "It's a humble overstep." ”

"This Qin Shou, I have told him many times, telling him not to be too restrained, he is like this:" Su Lun is also a little helpless.

Lin Yang turned his head to look at him sitting upright, and couldn't help but say, "It's not me saying you, Brother Qin, you don't look like a guard at all, not professional at all!" ”

"I am a palace guard, although you are the son-in-law of Lord Su, if you speak wildly, I can clean you up with one hand." Qin Shou naturally has his own pride, he can be a guard of the Great Interior, and he can become the emperor's guard, and his strength is naturally extremely strong.

"It's nothing to clean up on me, I'm an ordinary person!" Lin Yang gave him an angry look: "Your duty is to deal with those high-ranking thieves and killers, and only those thieves can withdraw your value." ”

"What I've been doing all the time, that's it!" Qin Shou frowned and said, he always felt that Lin Yang had something to say.

Su Lun also said: "I have been guarding Qin Shou for many years, and I have resisted a lot of killings and robberies, little brother don't damage him." ”

"I'm not questioning Brother Qin's strength, but what I'm saying is still the truth, don't you think Brother Qin is too eye-catching?" Lin Yang asked.

"Eye-catching? What does this mean? Su Lun wondered, and Qin Shou also looked away.

Seeing that the two of them were waiting for their explanations, Lin Yang had no choice but to say: "Brother Lin was originally an internal guard, because he was restricted by rules and regulations, and the emperor himself did not often go out of the palace, so it was normal for him to behave politely. ”

"It's just that, you look at Brother Lin, he is extremely tall, and he will stand out among the small people in the market, and he will look like he stands out from the crowd, and he has a sword, following you, Master Su, it really means that there are no silver three hundred taels here, so it has attracted a lot of attention invisibly, and he always keeps himself in a tense state, which represents caution, and it is easy for people to see that the person he guards should be a dignitary."

"This feeling is not normal, the duty of the guard is to protect his own people, in my opinion, he should be low-key as a passerby, even if he walks beside Lord Su, he will not think that this is Lao Su's guard, so that the assassin will relax his guard, and he will show his feet earlier, and then capture, so that it is safest to prevent trouble before it happens, and Brother Qin obviously cannot blend into the crowd no matter where he is placed, so I said that he is not suitable to be a guard."

"Is that so?" Qin Shou said with some disbelief: "I don't have to hide myself, and those little ones don't want to get close." ”

"Brother Qin, self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is pride." Lin Yang said: "Your martial arts are strong, but there are many strong people in this world, can you ensure that you can protect Lao Su at all times?" Can you be invincible? ”

"This ......"

Qin Shou was speechless for a while, although he held his own strength, he did not dare to claim to be invincible in the world, and he was only among the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and those grandmasters did not dare to say that he was invincible in the world, how could he dare.

"But it's not my fault that I'm like this, I'm a northerner, and my parents are quite tall, so I can't help but be eye-catching." After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Lin Yang's words were quite reasonable, and Qin Shou admitted it.

Lin Yang nodded approvingly, this height was given by his parents, and no one could cut it off: "This is true, but it is not impossible to solve it, what you need most is to observe the people around you, you are often in the official family, and you must not know much about the life of the small people in the market, and when you can walk on the street one day, others will not treat you as an official person, and then you will successfully integrate into life, at this time, you don't talk about guards, even if you go to be a killer, it is more than enough." ”

"Yes, I'll try!" Qin Shou nodded silently.

"Brother Qin, your name is Qin Shou, homophonic with beasts, don't always be a person who is a Wenwen, occasionally a beast, it can be regarded as a joke of life, listen to small songs, visit the flower building, it is not impossible, people who practice martial arts don't care about so many subsections. And those girls, singing and singing eighteen - touching, drinking wine, tasting small mouths, isn't it beautiful? As soon as he said a few serious sentences, Lin Yang became giggling again, making Qin Capital red-faced.

Su Lun didn't expect Brother Lin's filthy words to come as soon as he opened his mouth, and hurriedly reminded: "You kid, how can you come when you open your mouth, the public, if you are beaten as a disciple, you don't have to be reasonable." ”

Lin Yang's eyes were cold, and he said viciously: "Whoever dares to beat me, I will let him accompany his family to clean up." ”

"Also, no one can take advantage of you." Su Lun thought of Nangong Jie's sloppy son.
