Lin De Hall.

When Jia Qiang and Li Xuan entered the inner hall with heavy faces, in addition to Lin Ruhai, Han, Li, Zuo, and Zhang, Dou Xian was also there.

Lin Ruhai was fine, but the others were a little agitated.

There were children and grandchildren of several families sitting in the outer hall, and Dou Xian's family was also picked up.

The female dependents of each family were placed in the side hall, and at this moment they were accompanied by the imperial concubine Jia Yuanchun.

After Empress Yin accompanied Emperor Long An to meet the ministers, he would go to the side hall for a banquet.

Dozens of pairs of eyes watched Jia Qiang and Li Xuan enter, and Jia Qiang bowed down first and bowed down to plead guilty.

After Li Xuan knelt down, he suddenly reacted......

What did he do?

What does the buffalo have to do with him?

I was about to stand up, but under the fierce gaze of Emperor Long An, my legs were weak, and I still knelt.

Seeing this stupid son, Queen Yin sighed......

Emperor Long An said to Han Bin and others: "There are many villains outside, who spread rumors and are mean, moody, and ruthless, and can't tolerate the slightest mistake of the courtiers...... They should be allowed to take a look at the pair of evil obstacles kneeling in the hall, when will they not give me some trouble? This staff has been beaten several times, but it is still lawless...... Lin Aiqing sits, it has nothing to do with you! Speaking of which, it was only after I and the queen favored me that these two were about to become demon kings of the mixed world! ”

Li Xuan is about to cry, does he have any money today?

But after thinking about it, it's better not to defend it, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good death......

Emperor Long An asked Jia Qiang, "Who let you go out of Beijing without permission last night?" ”

Jia Qiang was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the minister only knows that the clan is not allowed to leave the capital for a hundred miles without a will, and he didn't say that the honorable nobles will not let him......"

"Dare to talk back!"

Empress Yin hurriedly scolded.

Jia Qiang was honest, but fortunately, Emperor Long An was not angry, and asked again: "Then why did you suddenly rush to Wuqing Wharf?" ”

Jia Qiang said truthfully: "The minister heard that the embroidered guard had an accident over there, and he was worried about the safety of his husband, so he took someone to greet him." ”

Emperor Long An sneered meaningfully, and said: "You are very well-informed, Wu Qing just had an accident, you knew about it earlier than me......"

As soon as these words came out, Han Bin and others all looked sideways.

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this shouldn't be." When the commander of the embroidered guard returned to Beijing, there was a lot of movement, and the minister only found out after most of the day. ”

"That's not slow!"

Dou Xian suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ning Hou, what are you doing with so many scouts?" Don't you know the taboo? ”

Jia Qiang glanced at him and said, "Doctor Dou, I have a business under my name, and some guys under the business are responsible for running errands and delivering messages, can't you?" ”

Before Dou Xian could speak, Emperor Long An snorted coldly and shouted, "You sophistry again!" Doctor Yu Shi can't say that you can't say it? ”

Jia Qiang instantly confessed: "The minister is the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and he has to deal with all the rivers and lakes and green forests in the capital, so he has raised some people. Originally, there were a lot, but later they were overshadowed and most of them were destroyed. Nowadays, these are really all errands for the business. After the emperor spoke last time, and let the commander of the infantry army, Yamen, take charge of the west, south and north cities? Only one place in the east city? The minister basically has no pressure? Dongcheng is now the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed......"

"You don't have to be ashamed! Brag unblushingly! ”

After listening to him boast in front of all the important ministers, a touch of strangeness flashed on his face? Said: "Since you are so capable? Do you think the official is too small? Then I will promote you again? Give you a promotion? Going to embroider clothes? What about any commander? ”

As soon as this statement came out? Dou Xian wanted to oppose on the spot.

To put a teenager under the age of twenty in such an important position? It's a ridiculous joke!

And Jia Qiang has always been bold? is ruthless, and if he really becomes the commander of the embroidered guard, won't the world be in chaos?

However, Dou Xian was stopped by Han Bin before he could speak, and Lin Ruhai also raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

He still believes in Jia Qiang's wisdom......

I heard Jia Qiang laugh dryly: "Your Majesty, if the minister is good at this door, he will not let the people who have spent a lot of money to raise them be besieged and killed by two or three hundred." The two or three hundred were made of flesh and blood, and they were heaped out of silver and gold...... Moreover, Commander Wei is an old man in this line, he can't defeat the thieves behind him, the minister really doesn't know how to take over, the minister is worried that it won't take half a month, and the embroidered clothes guard will lose even the rest of the family money......"

Emperor Long An's face was gloomy, and after glaring at Jia Qiang for a while, he looked at Li Xuan, who was beside him with his head bowed and pretending to be transparent, and said, "Get up first, Zhu Aiqing will return to Beijing today, and he will not theorize." Wait until today, and then settle accounts with the two of you. ”

Under Li Xuan's shock, Jia Qiang got up first and walked to Lin Ruhai's side and stood still.

Li Xuan walked to Zhang Gu's seat with an innocent face and stood still.

Emperor Long An, Han Bin and others: "Zhu Aiqing also heard that Lin Aiqing took down Luo Shikuan, Cao Xiangyun, Li Song and other traitors in Shandong, and the embroidered guards commanded Wei Yong to personally escort them back to Beijing, but the people behind them couldn't sit still. Wei Yong set up an ambush in Liaocheng and killed more than 1,000 dead soldiers in one fell swoop. In Wuqing, he originally wanted to concoct the same method, but he didn't want to be betrayed by the rebels in the embroidered guard, and the embroidered guard suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out. Those traitors even mobilized the Wuqing garrison! ”

Hearing this, the faces of Han Bin and the others were all solemn and solemn.

Mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the embroidered guards, this is not a rebellion, what is it?

The question is, who is behind it, and what is the intention?

Han Bin asked slowly, "Your Majesty, what did Zhao Guogong say?" ”

Emperor Long An said: "Zhao Guogong said that he would investigate again, and the whole family of Wuqing Dusi hanged themselves, and the clues were broken." However, Lao Guogong said that at present, it should be the black hand behind him who is worried that the case of stealing and selling relief grain in Shandong will be implicated in the trial, so he took the risk. This fang may have hidden some power in the army, but there will never be many. And, he'll go about looking it up. ”

Han Bin nodded and said, "In this case, the affairs in the army will be handed over to Zhao Guogong to investigate." It just so happened that the Zhili garrison should also be rotated. ”

Emperor Long An nodded and said, "What Han Qing said is very true. ”

Empress Yin smiled on the side: "Your Majesty, today is a family banquet." ”

Emperor Long An came to his senses when he heard this, raised his lamp and said with a smile: "Let those two evil obstacles be confused, come on, come on, Zhuqing, today I and the queen, and you Aiqing will wash the wind and dust!" ”

Han Bin and the others raised their glasses and returned the salute, Li Jing, Li Shi, Li Xuan, Jia Qiang, and Li Xiao, who came back from outside with a limp, and the ministers who were destined to be in power to the Longan Dynasty added wine and toasts.

This kindness also made Han Bin and others more and more grateful.

After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Long An said to Han Bin: "I have heard that several sons of Aiqing are studying and studying very well, why don't you recruit them into the palace to see them?" Let these two sons see and improve, don't mess around all day long! ”

Han Bin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's a shame to say. Over the years, the sea has been up and down, and he has neglected to teach the children of the family, so that his generation is longer than the hands of women. It's just that...... It's a dead book, and it's dull and doesn't know how to change it. I thought that after going out of Beijing for a long time, I brought it to my side, and I wanted to recuperate and recuperate. Kechen found that this was even more difficult than governing the two rivers. ”

Zhang Gu, Li Han, Zuo Xiang and others were also busy: "Who said no, why shouldn't we be like this." ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, he was almost full of resonance, and pointed to the princes in the palace and said: "Don't say Aiqing, look at me, arrogant and arrogant, self-righteous and self-righteous, self-righteous and ridiculous...... Didn't I discipline me well? Is it true that the son is not the fault of the godfather? But how could I ever neglect to discipline them! ”

The princes knelt down to plead guilty, and Queen Yin also smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "It's all the fault of the concubines......

Lin Ruhai smiled and said with relief: "The emperor is too strict, the princes are either upright and noble, or calm and pragmatic, or virtuous and generous, or pure filial piety and selflessness. This dynasty, one of the great virtues, is also an example made by the Heavenly Family for the world. As for the mid-levels duke, the minister thought it was also a word of humility. The minister tasted and heard the poems of the son of the Han family, which was very good. ”

When Han Bin heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said with a smile: "Ruhai, you are a gentleman's nature, and you are not short-sighted." That's also called poetry? However, only with a mind like yours can you tolerate a disciple like Jia Qiang. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled dumbly, and Li Xuan also forced a smile.

Jia Qiang frowned, and said softly to Han Bin: "Banshan Gong, the kid still respects you very much." You used to praise me at the beginning, and now you say the same thing. Can't you do one thing in person, and another set in person? You still have to be kind......"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xuan really wanted to hold back, but he couldn't help it!

Emperor Longan: "......"

Empress Yin: "......"

Not long after Li Xuan got up, he knelt down again, although he lowered his head, everyone could see that this kid was smiling fiercely, and somehow it was so ridiculous......

Jia Qiang felt that she was being pitted to death, and when she saw Emperor Long'an's unkind eyes, she could only kneel down.

Empress Yin apologized to Han Bin and said: "The five emperors are like this, the emperor has disciplined him many times, and he can't change it, so he doesn't offend the prince of Banshan." ”

Han Bin said with a smile: "Born in a heavenly family, it is very rare to still have such a pure heart. Niangniang's virtuous name is heard at home, and the prince is well-educated, and the old ministers admire it. As for Jia Qiang, the old man didn't say that you weren't. ”

Emperor Long An was noncommittal about this, and summoned the children of Han, Li, Zhang, Zuo, and Dou to the palace and met them one by one.

The children of the five families are all respectful, and their nervous heads are sweating......

In contrast, Jia Qiang's comment of "lawlessness" is not bad at all.

Seeing the children of the families, Queen Yin went to the side hall and saw the orders of the families.

As soon as Empress Yin left, several important ministers who had endured for a long time each came up with their own governance strategies and presented them to Emperor Long An.

Or talk about the rule of officials, or talk about the redundancy of officials, redundant troops and clan nobles, and talk about the fierceness of land annexation, the harm of population concealment, and there is, river workers!

It's intense.

At this point, even Lin Ruhai emphatically mentioned: "Your Majesty, in the spring and summer of this year, it has not rained in the five provinces. When the minister inquired about the meteorological changes recorded by the Qin Tianjian, he found that the climate was prone to change once in each Jiazi year. There is no rain in the two provinces this year, but I don't know what will happen next year. It is only two years since the last round of Jiazi year. Therefore, river engineering and water conservancy are indeed the top priorities. ”

"Snort!"

As soon as Lin Ruhai's words fell, he heard a burst of snickering near him.

Lin Ruhai didn't have anything, but Emperor Long An above was furious, and said sharply: "Fork out, hit hard!" ”

At the head of the fire, how can such a solemn thing be frivolous?

Li Xuan's bluffing soul almost didn't fly, and when he saw the guards approaching, he hurriedly explained loudly: "Father, the son heard Jia Qiang say that he had a way, so he laughed happily." Father, the son is really smiling because of joy! ”

Lin Ruhai was surprised when he heard this, and said to Emperor Longan: "Your Majesty, you might as well listen to what they do." Jia Qiang has not mentioned it to the minister......"

Jia Qiang saw that Emperor Long An was really angry, glared, and hurriedly came out of the rules and said: "Your Majesty, the construction of water conservancy and river engineering can prevent floods, but it is difficult to solve the great drought." If there is a great drought, the most difficult part of the court is the lack of food. If the gap is too large, even if there are two lakes and two rivers for a bumper harvest, it will be difficult to provide all of them. But the minister knew that although the land was small, it was rich in rice. The rice produced is three crops in one year. Why didn't the imperial court go and buy more? ”

Emperor Long An frowned and said, "You mean Annan?" ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Annam and Siam are both, and the citizens of these two countries are lazy, because the two countries never lack rain, and they can be fed by plowing at will, so the land cannot be fully cultivated." Your Majesty, why didn't the imperial court send some people to buy more land to cultivate, and then transport the grain and rice back to Dayan? In this way, you can not only save some silver, but also get a lot of cultivated land, and become the granary of Dayan......"

"Ridiculous!"

Before Jia Qiang's words fell, she heard Dou Xian say sharply: "How can it be reasonable to seize the land of other countries and support the people of your own country?" Could it be that if Annam does not sell grain and land, you are still ready to conquer it with a large army? Annam, Siam, small countries and widows, if the grain and rice are all bought by Dayan, and the cultivated land is taken by Dayan, how should the people of Annam and Siam make a living? Is this the teacher of righteousness? ”

Jia Qiang was really a little curious, looked at Dou Xian and asked, "Doctor Dou, you are the imperial historian of Dayan, and the food you eat is the fat and ointment of the people of Dayan." Which country are you thinking about? Could it be that the people of the Great Swallow can only be allowed to starve and die? ”

Dou Xian was shocked, he stared at Jia Qiang for a while, then turned his head and asked Lin Ruhai: "Lin Xiang, this is the disciple you taught?" ”

"If you have something to say, what are you doing with my husband? Shall I go back to your husband and ask, this is the disciple you taught? ”

Jia Qiang said a little angrily.

Li Xuan thought so, nodded and said, "That's it, I also think that what Jia Qiang said is reasonable......

"You two, get out of here!"

As soon as Li Xuan blurted out his words, he heard the angry voice of Emperor Long An descending from above.

“……”

Li Xuan gasped.

……

The west side of the Lin De Palace, at the royal railing.

Jia Qiang and Li Xuan leaned on the railing, watching the sun gradually set in the west, and the sun shone on the glazed tiles of the main hall, shining brightly.

"Jia Qiang, why do I feel that something is wrong......

Li Xuan looked at it for a long time, felt a little dazzled, rubbed his eyes and asked casually.

Jia Qiang sighed and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xuan said: "I thought that after these ministers came back, they were all masters, and as soon as they crackled, the court should be in the prosperous era, the stubborn and stubborn, the happy one, and the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty will be so lively!" Why do you look at it now, all of them are bitter and hateful? Will they be able to do it? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "This is heard, I have to say that you can do it......"

Li Xuan sighed, turned his head to look at Jia Qiang and said, "The master is the master, the master thinks that your method is good, and what he said makes sense...... But it's strange for you to say, Dou Xian'er is not a roundabout master, how can he still talk about the road of benevolence and righteousness? We're not going to rob it, we're going to buy it. ”

Jia Qiang pouted and said: "He is taking precautions, the matter involves the three countries, and the grain and land are fundamental, once there is a conflict, it may lead to incidents, or even wars." Civil officials, after all, are the kind of 'although the country is big, the belligerent will die'. Moreover, I am afraid that the generals will sit big. There is also the fact that my Great Yan Heaven is in the upper state, and all the countries are coming to the court. If even grain and rice and cultivated fields are bought from small neighboring countries, wouldn't it be very shameless? There may be some other reasons, these officials, don't care whether they are good officials or bad officials, they have a lot of eyes, and they are very troublesome. ”

Li Xuan sighed and said, "You have to be careful, there are a few people who don't like you today." ”

Jia Qiang sneered: "They have what they can do, but if they are broad-minded, it is a joke." When I left Beijing, I was full of hatred, but now that I have returned to Beijing, I have seen my husband take a step, and even my relationship with the heavenly family is very close. But I don't care, I come from a poor background, and it's inevitable to be cynical. Don't mess with me, it's ......"

Li Xuan laughed and said: "As long as you don't provoke others, people won't embarrass you in front of Lin Xiang." Besides, you are a person who is not even qualified to go to court, what do people provoke you to do? By the way, Old Man Han doesn't hate you in his heart, right? This old man is amazing......"

Jia Qiang thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, it shouldn't be." Banshan Gong is a powerful man, extremely tough and clever, not a pedantic and pretending to be rigid. ”

Li Xuan smiled: "That's good." ”

"How?"

Jia Qiang asked curiously.

Li Xuan said "hey" and said, "I don't believe you can't see it, the old man Han of the Military Aircraft Department will be the foreman in the future, followed by your husband." As long as Old Man Han doesn't hate you, and your husband is here, your father and mother also spoil you, and even if the others hate you, they can't do anything with you. As long as you don't die. ”

Jia Qiang turned around, lay on the railing, looked at the deep palace, and said softly: "I have nothing to do with them, I can't hide if I can't provoke them?" I'll leave in a few days, go to Jiangnan for a walk, and come back for the New Year, I think they were too busy to forget who Grandpa Jia was. ”

"Good ball!"

Li Xuan scolded in shock: "Why do you want to run to Jiangnan again? Then he sneered: "Lord advises you not to think about good things, and my father will let you out of the Beijing disaster?" ”

Jia Qiang sighed and said: "This year is the tenth anniversary of the death of my wife, my husband is busy with state affairs and can't leave Beijing for a moment, and now he has no children under his knees, Lord, tell me, if I don't go, who can go?" ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he understood that most of the matter could not be stopped, so he was moved again and said, "Jia Qiang, you find a way to let the master also go to Southern Province for a visit." The master is so big, he hasn't been out of Beijing yet! This Qinhuai River and Slender West Lake are calloused, but they haven't seen it at all, isn't it a pity? You have the most ghosts, hurry up, think of a way! ”

Jia Qiang looked at him sympathetically and said, "Do you think, is it possible?" ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he was like a frosted eggplant, and he hung his head and became depressed.

Sometimes, he really wanted not to even sit down with this prince, so as not to be confined to this capital and not be able to go anywhere......

At this moment, I saw a yellow gate squire coming in a hurry, and said to Li Xuan and Jia Qiang: "Lord Wang, Ning Hou, the emperor has summoned the two of you to go back, and you are going to have a banquet." ”

The two didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the Lin De Palace.

I don't know what the monarch said again, but the atmosphere turned around again.

Without saying much, Jia Qiang supported Lin Ruhai, and after being Emperor Beilongan, he went out of the imperial city.

But Lin Ruhai didn't let the carriage go back to Buzheng Fang, but ordered: "Qiang'er, go straight to Rongguo Mansion." ”

……
