Suddenly, Xiao Yin's face changed suddenly, and no one in the court dared to say such a thing. The officials who have always advocated righteousness are only afraid of losing money and labor, and no one dares to say that the defeat of the Great Liang will invisibly affect the momentum of the army. Zhang Wenzheng's words, Xiao Yin was dumbfounded, he never thought that a little boy would have such an opinion.

Xiao Yin's face was dark, and Zhang Wenzheng realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. The emperor said that he would forgive no sin, and who could guess the emperor's thoughts. Xiao Yin glanced back at Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping immediately put down the wine glass and pulled Lu Xiaozhao and said, "Xiaozhao, brother, I have been itching a lot lately, otherwise let's have a try." ”

Suddenly stunned, he put the dishes on Xiao Yin's table, and was dragged to the backyard by Zhao Ping without waiting for a promise. Lu Xiaozhao is easy to say, but he can't resist Zhao Ping. I went to the backyard and told the store guys to clean up, close the store door and leave work early. can only twist his temperament and compete with Zhao Ping in the backyard, I really don't understand what to compare.

Lu Xiaozhao said: "Brother Zhao can't compete on the day, it has to be a big night." It will affect the younger brother to make money. ”

Zhao Ping, who was helpless, said: "Which one is a nobleman, I don't want you and me to listen, I don't pull you out and wait for the beheading." ”

One sentence made Lu Xiaozhao empowered, who else could Zhao Ping say on duty in the palace, of course, His Majesty the Emperor today. Lu Xiaozhao entered the house and took the long sword and said, "Then come on, Brother Zhao, if you lose, you have to come a few more times to take care of the little brother's business." ”

Zhao Ping's face darkened, who said that Lu Xiaozhao would not do business, wouldn't this attract customers.

At the wine table, Xiao Yin heard the sound of ping-pong fighting in the backyard, and said with an embarrassed look: "It is still the people who have been fighting for a long time in the world, and I will give the people peace to the world when I unify the world, and it is only a temporary mistake to work the people and lose money." The recovery of the unification of the world and all things will ultimately outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Wenzheng felt that he had said too much today, and saw Zhao Ping and Lu Xiaozhao arrive in the backyard. If I don't tell the truth today, I'm afraid I can't do without it. plucked up the courage to get up and knelt down and said: "What Xiao Sheng said next may endanger the royal family, and even offend many courtiers. Please Your Majesty do not tell others what Xiaosheng said today, and then ask Your Majesty to forgive Xiaosheng first. ”

Xiao Yin is very calm, Zhang Wenzheng is not an official in the court, but many words are to the point. Raise your glass and take a sip and say, "Speak freely, say what is in your heart." ”

Zhang Wenzheng bowed down and said, "Xiaosheng obeys the order." He slowly got up from under the table, staggered and lifted the flask with one hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I drank it." Xiao Yin waved his hand.

Take a big sip: "The situation between the DPRK and China is mixed, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for Your Majesty. Xiao Sheng also knew that there were still many people in the DPRK who opposed His Majesty's use of troops against Soochow, and more people still agreed with the use of troops. In Xiaosheng's view, conquering a world cannot be just for the sake of dominating the world. The ancients said: It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the world. And this difficulty is different from people's hearts, and everyone in the world comes to profit. His Majesty should be worried about how to govern the defeated Soochow, and everyone in the court and China is fighting for this piece of fat. ”

Seeing the emperor nodding, Zhang Wenzheng continued: "Since everyone is fighting, why doesn't Your Majesty give it." Although Soochow is partial, it has the wealth

The list is endless. What everyone asks for in the upright and troubled world is the word money, since it is for money, why should Your Majesty cut off the wealth of others. Nowadays, everyone in the DPRK and China has been staring at the land of Daliang for decades. Why does everyone only know that they are greedy for the court's money and occupy the land. It's just because there is little money, and since there is little money, let them find a way to earn it themselves. ”

"Half of Dongwu is now the most valuable place, and the imperial court needs silver, and it is a good idea to deprive its own people for a while. Why can't you use the wealth of Daliang to lay down a Dongwu, and then use the wealth of Dongwu to lay down half of Nanchu. Your Majesty can divide the defeated Soochow to the princes. If the fief is big, can it deprive the lord of his authority? When the integrity of Eastern Wu is chaotic, why should Your Majesty worry about these things. It is easy to divide the land, but it is not easy to govern. You can choose some important ministers who are willing to go to Eastern Wu, plus the kings to let them fight. In the event of a confrontation, an officer can be sent to investigate, and no one will be clean. No matter how evil the approach is, once the imperial court does a good deed, the people of Eastern Wu will inevitably think that the imperial court is only unfavorable to the use of people, rather than the imperial court treating the people badly. ”

Every sentence was said in Xiao Yin's heart, and he poured a glass of wine and said, "Wen Zheng continued." ”

Zhang Wenzheng, who seemed to be more sober with a pot of daughter makeup in his stomach, gushed endlessly, and revealed the situation of Daliang one by one, Xiao Yin was full of praise. Zhang Wenzheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these are all Xiaosheng talking nonsense. ”

Xiao Yin, who doesn't know how much she has drunk her daughter's makeup, is full of alcohol, as if she has never been so sober after drinking. Asked again: "How to turn the wealth of Eastern Wu into the wealth of the imperial court." ”

Zhang Wenzheng never thought about this, and said: "Let Xiaosheng think about this matter seriously. ”

Xiao Yin, who was sitting and drinking, took a bite of the dish and said, "Don't worry, think slowly." ”

The backyard tried several games in a row, all of which ended with Lu Xiaozhao losing, and seeing that Zhao Ping was still going to do it, Lu Xiaozhao immediately waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhao is still over, after five games, I'm annoyed if you don't bother me." Wouldn't it be nice to sit down and take a break? ”

In fact, Zhao Ping, who was already tired, sat on the steps with Lu Xiaozhao and said: "It's really tired, it's been two hours." ”

Lu Xiaozhao, who was panting, said: "That's it, what do two big men have to say." ”

Looking at a wandering figure in the restaurant, the emperor who sat and never got up kept drinking. Zhao Ping was a little anxious, it was already late at night, and if he didn't return to the palace, he was afraid that the harem would be a mess again. I'm afraid that now that the Queen Mother has sent someone out to find the emperor who left the palace without permission, Zhao Ping can only be in a hurry.

said: "Xiaozhao, your kung fu is so high, and you are the Lu family. Why don't you join the army and make a contribution. ”

His eyes were a little lonely and said: "I can't go, there is a reason why I have to stay in Taiping City, and besides, the foundation left by the master and his old man must be watched." I'm not at ease with handing it over to someone else. Brother Zhao, you are not from the thirteenth battalion, how good it is to follow Liu Gongzi in the frontier, you have to stay in Taiping City. ”

Zhao Ping sighed and said: "The border is in crisis, and men should make contributions. It's just that I don't have a chance anymore after opening the station, and there is still a way back once I enter the palace gate. appear

Only then did I know why the disciples of the generals were reluctant to stay in Taiping City. But one thing is good, I can see His Majesty often. It's not like there is an old saying, it's good to follow the prime minister to get promoted. ”

Lu Xiaozhao sighed and didn't reply. Zhao sat quietly quietly, suddenly remembered someone, and asked: "Xiaozhao, I remember that the girl that the general liked was the owner of this restaurant, and later entered the palace and became the concubine of the former emperor." I don't know how. ”

"Why do you think of asking this, my boss is very good. It's just a little bit unpeaceful, and I don't know who assassinated me a few months ago. If it wasn't for the fact that day, I really can't tell Xiao Ming how to explain it next time. Speaking of Wen Xiaoming, Lu Xiaozhao was a little disappointed.

Which young man is the same age, and he can break into the palace alone and get out. Since the Great Liang was imprisoned, how many assassins have been able to leave the palace safely. Zhao Ping also remembered which teenager, it had been a year, and there was no news so far.

"Why did you remember to ask my owner?" Asked curiously.

Zhao Ping touched his head and said, "This is not to the Peach Blossom Building, but unfortunately I haven't seen what the woman the general likes is like." I always listen to others, and I never have a chance. ”

Lu Xiaozhao smiled slightly: "The owner is a great beauty, I dare to say that there is no one in Taiping City who is better than the owner." ”

As he was talking, suddenly the forbidden army surrounded the Peach Blossom Tower, and Zhao Ping heard the sound and immediately ran out. I saw Xu Dian, the commander of the forbidden army, appear, and all the generals knelt down on one knee. Zhang Wenzheng was stunned with the wine jar in his hand, when had he ever seen such a battle.

As soon as Lu Xiaozhao appeared with his sword, he was surrounded by the forbidden legion. Zhao Ping stood in front of Lu Xiaozhao, and Xiao Yin was drunk. Zhang Wenzheng's views were heard in the court, especially in the people's livelihood. Perhaps only in the people can know that Zhang Wenzheng's words today suddenly opened.

"I need to go out for a walk. Whose order is it. Said with anger.

Xu Dian hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is the queen's meaning." His Majesty was not in the palace for a day, and the palace was already in chaos. Please return to the palace. ”

Xiao Yin didn't want to embarrass Xu Dian, turned to Zhang Wenzheng and said, "Wenzheng will report to the household department tomorrow, and it is a big loss that the imperial court cannot reuse talents like you." ”

He has not participated in the imperial examination and was made an official by the emperor, and only Zhou Heng has been the only one for at least ten years. Xiao Yin's words not only made Zhao Ping exclaim, but even Xu Dian widened his eyes. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenzheng knelt on the ground and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Xiaosheng can't agree." ”

This made Xiao Yin feel strange and asked: "No one has dared to disobey my will yet, is it because I don't want to enter the court as an official and give a reason." ”

Zhang Wenzheng said with a sense of wine: "It's not that Xiaosheng is unwilling, Mr. once said that Zhou Laosheng's students have several champions, and the students in Shuangsheng can't help it." Xiaosheng has done a good job for the next year, and is willing to serve the country as a champion and relieve His Majesty's worries. ”

Under the surprise of everyone, Xiao Yin looked at the serious Zhang Wenzheng with his hands up. Nodding lightly, he said, "I am waiting for your good news, I hope that Zhang Wen is the first champion of the Zhengming Dynasty." "The eyes are calm.

Suddenly turned to look at Lu Xiaozhao, who looked weird, and stepped forward and asked, "You are Lu Xiaozhao."

。 ”

"Your Majesty is the grass people."

After thinking about it, he asked, "Have you been to Hongshan Guanyin Temple." ”

Lu Xiaozhao was frightened, and immediately knelt down and said: "The grass people have never been to Hongshan, let alone know what Guanyin Temple is. ”

Looking at Lu Xiaozhao's nervous expression, he dismissed the surrounding forbidden army and said, "Yulian is fine in Hongshan. ”

Lu Xiaozhao looked up at Xiao Yin's eyes and didn't reply for a long time. Going to Hongshan without permission is a big crime. Lu Xiaozhao gritted his teeth and replied: "The grass people haven't seen the owner for many years. ”

Xiao Yin turned his head and strode out of the Peach Blossom Building with regret, and Zhao Ping immediately caught up. Riding in a carriage in the direction of the palace, on the way, Zhao Ping was still thinking about what the emperor asked Ji Yulian. When he was about to arrive at the palace, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty just heard from Xiaozhao that Yumei was assassinated a few months ago, which is very dangerous. ”

Xiao Yin's face changed suddenly, and he had never asked about Hongshan in the year since he ascended the throne. The depression in my heart welled up in my heart, and I heard the news without replying. I went to the dormitory and looked at the portrait hanging on it, wearing a green shirt and caressing the piano, it was so moving. The first glance I saw entered my heart, and I couldn't forget it for a long time.

Reaching out and stroking the face of the portrait person, he smiled faintly. He said softly, "Yulian." ”
