Zuo's filial piety was in his body, only a little powder, and he sat on the couch with Linghule in his arms.

Xin Er entered the temple and bowed.

Zuo said, "General, please get up." ”

There was a couch placed in advance under the main couch, and Zuo invited him to take a seat.

Xin Yi didn't sit down, took out a volume of documents, and presented it to Zuo through the eunuch.

He bowed down and said, "This is the little book that the minister said last time. If the king thinks it's okay, the minister will take the time to write a little more. ”

As a minister who cares about his life, he has to look like he cares about his life. In the past, Xin Er always gave Linghule some toys, food and the like as gifts, recently he took the time to write a storybook similar to a children's book, the last time he met with Zuo, he mentioned a sentence, Zuo asked him to bring it next time he entered the palace. This time when he entered the palace, Xin Er brought it with him.

A total of ten stories were written in the book, all of which were read by future generations.

There are fables with deep meanings such as "Pony Crossing the River", and prodigy stories such as "Hurt Zhongyong", which is "small, big may not be good", and so on. Of course, in his writing, the background of these fables and stories is not the original, and he entrusted it to antiquity.

Zuo's exhibition and view.

The first story is that Luo Bingwang wrote a poem at the age of seven and wrote "Goose Goose Goose, Song to the Sky"; The second story is "Sima Guang Breaks the Cylinder". Xin Er's words are simple, polished by sheep fashion, etc., and the plot is vivid. Zuo was so attracted that he read two articles in a row.

She asked, "Who are King Luo Bin and Sima Guang?" The general said that they were from Zhou Shi, why hadn't I heard of it? The poem of "Goose Goose Goose" is quite interesting and natural and wonderful, but there is no quaint style, such as a poem of close people, not like the work of three generations. ”

Xin Er said: "This is all told by the minister's family when he was young, whether it is a story of Zhoushi, and where he comes from, the minister doesn't know." ”

Zuo's chin head said: "The general's family is a famous family, and the family is really knowledgeable. ”

The Xin family is not first-class among the scholars, where do they dare to call it a "famous family"? Xin Er is humble.

Zuo gave the book to Ling Hule.

Although Ling Hule is young, he grew up in the royal family, and now he knows a lot of words, he is the age when he likes all kinds of interesting stories, so he can't wait to open it and take a closer look, and he is immediately immersed in it.

Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't make trouble, Zuo talked about the reason why Zhao Xiner came to see him today.

She said: "Yesterday the lieutenant wrote a book, and the book said that in the lower royal capital, there was a rumor that prevailed, and the people in the market spread the word. Has the general ever heard of this? ”

Xin Er also heard about it.

There are no airtight walls.

Although the palace is strictly forbidden, there has never been a shortage of secrets in the palace for generations.

Studying this rumor circulating in the royal capital today, it should be that Ling Hu Feng never forgot the white deer, and repeatedly ordered Chen Sun to be sure to find it, and was told to the good guards by the eunuchs or palace maids who were waiting in the dormitory, and then the guards passed it out of the palace; As a result, when it came to the people, it was rumored from person to person, and somehow, it became Linghu Feng shouting "White Deer" before he died.

When I first heard this rumor, if I hadn't been on the spot when Linghu Feng died, I couldn't say it, so I had to believe it.

Linghu boasted of his destiny, and he was haunted by the loss of Bailu and the injury caused by it, and before he died, he still couldn't forget it, and shouted loudly, which was really reasonable. Very much in line with his character.

Xin Er replied: "This rumor has been heard by the minister. ”

Zuo frowned slightly, and said: "The lieutenant suggested in the book, requesting that the person who spread this rumor be severely punished. Why did the general think so? ”

"Why should you punish them severely?"

"The lieutenant thinks that the deer, Lu Ye, the folk spread this rumor, there are people with bad intentions who are secretly making trouble, which is intended to allude to the loss of the first king Lu, which may be detrimental to the country and shake the hearts of the people."

Xin Er asked, "How does the lieutenant suggest severe punishment?" ”

"Those who dare to spread rumors, take them all; Investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, and punish the crime according to 'evil words'. ”

Xin Er was keenly aware of the focus of Koi Shuang's two "severe punishment recommendations", obviously the latter, and he said in his heart: "'Investigate the mastermind behind the scenes'? What do you mean by this? What is he trying to do? Do you want to use this to hook up a big case? Who is he going to 'pursue'? ”

"Fallacy" is a crime, which is related to "slander", "inappropriate speech", and "leftism", and is clearly regulated by the law of rulers to control speech and suppress thoughts. If it is serious, the sin shall be punished unto death. These crimes have one thing in common, that is, they lack leniency, there is no clear legal definition, and conviction is not easy to operate. In other words, whatever the prisoners say, is what they are.

Xin Yi frowned tightly and thought, "Lu Shuang said that the rumor-monger is secretly making trouble, I think he is the one who wants to make trouble, right?" "There are serious doubts about the motives of Koji Shuang's proposal.

Zuo waited patiently for Xin Er to think.

Xin Er said: "The minister thinks that the lieutenant's suggestion seems inappropriate. ”

"Oh?"

"The great-mother crossed the wall, the three of them became tigers, and the rumors were all spread falsely. In the face of rumors, the minister thought that it would not work to forcibly prohibit it. The more forbidden it is, the more fierce it may spread among the people. Moreover, the first king was the king, and now the lord is young, at this time, the government and the opposition have fluctuated, and the ministers think that they can't arrest people because of a rumor and punish them with heavy prisons, which will only backfire!

"It's better to be quiet.

"King Zhou Li forbids slander, and the people 'follow the road', and the rebellion is finally completed, a lesson from the past!" The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan', the teachings of the ancient philosophers and wise men should not be forgotten. ”

Zuo Shi greatly thought so, nodded again and again, and said, "The general is right! In the general's opinion, how should this matter be handled? How do I reply to the lieutenant? ”

"It's better to be loose than to block."

Zuo's leaned forward, looked at Xin Er with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said as if asking for advice: "The general must have a high strategy, how to sparse?" Please teach me, general. ”

Xin Er replied: "In the opinion of the minister, the queen mother can order someone to find a white deer and dedicate it to the court." In this way, the folk rumor that the first king lost the deer, and now the lord has the deer, won't the rumor cease to cease? ”

Zuo was overjoyed and said: "The general has this sincere plan! He patted Ling Hule, who was reading a book in his arms, and said softly, "The general has solved a big trouble for you, why don't you hurry up and thank the general?" ”

Ling Hule didn't know what they were talking about, raised his head, obeyed his mother, and said, "Agua, thank you!" ”

Xin Er hurriedly bowed down and said: "Do your best, the duty of the minister, you can't repay the kindness of the king without this." How dare the king, the king, and the ministers be thanked by the king? Struck with awe. ”

Zuo asked him to get up, thought for a while, and said: "The matter of offering the white deer to the court must be secret, and General Lao will do it, okay?" ”

"The minister commands." Xin Er got up, hesitated, and said, "Queen Mother, the minister has something to ask for." ”

"What's the matter?"

I don't say anything.

Zuo understood what he meant, and ordered the eunuchs to retreat, in order to prevent others from talking nonsense, and did not tell them to go far, so they all stayed outside the palace gate. In this way, the eunuchs could see the temple, but could not hear the conversations in the temple.

Xin Ernai said: "Fang is now my Longdi is surrounded by enemies, non-strong soldiers and rich people can not stand on their own, but the output of Longtu is poor, fortunately, the trade routes of the Western Regions countries to the interior must pass through my Long, and the Hu merchants in the Western Regions have frequent exchanges and extraction of their taxes, so that they can make up for the lack of finance."

"Recently, because of the encroachment on the trade road, and because our country's heroes have not been to the Western Regions for a long time, there are small people in the countries of the Western Regions. The ministers will send troops to fight for it, proclaim the prestige of our Dingxi, and make them re-establish the western vassals for me, so as to ensure that there is no obstacle to business and no shortage of finance and taxation. ”

Zuo said in surprise: "Is the general going to leave the royal capital?" ”

"This is just the foolishness of the minister, can you not, you have to ask the Queen Mother to decide."

"No way!"

Zuo's answer was so happy, Xin Er was not surprised, he knew Zuo's worries, and said: "The queen mother does not allow her ministers to go out to the Western Regions, but is it because she is worried about the court situation?" ”

"If the general leaves the royal capital, what should I do with all the affairs of the court?"

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry, please listen to the minister."

Zuo Shi stared at Xin Er tightly, lightly opened his red lips, and said, "General, please speak." ”

"First of all, the minister is not going to the Western Regions now, and he will probably get next summer time at the earliest.

"Secondly, even if the minister leaves the royal capital, the queen mother does not have to worry too much about the government. Lang Zhongling Chen Gong and Da Nong Sun Gong are all trusted shares of the previous king; Don't drive the Duke of Song and the Duke of Zhizhong, they are all capable ministers of the court. If there is any doubt, the Queen Mother can ask them.

"In the end, Cao Fei, the leader of the Chinese army, and the minister are both the former ministers of the former king's palace, and the minister and Cao Fei have known each other for many years and know that this person is loyal and reliable; Lieutenant Lu Shuang, the uncle of the first king, is also a relative of the country, and among the three armies of the kingdom under his subordinates, the general of the army Ling Huqu is a small sect of the royal family, and he can also be credited. ”

When Xin Er finished talking about his plan to send troops and his judgment on the current political and military situation in the DPRK and China, he concluded at the end, "With these three articles, especially the last two as the foundation, the minister will not be in the royal capital for a short time, and the court situation will definitely be fine. ”

Zuo's eyes did not blink, and he listened carefully to Xin Er's analysis.

She just has no experience in governance, people are very smart, and she heard the potential meaning that Xin Er didn't say clearly from Xin Er's words.

"The trust of the first king", this is saying that Chen Sun and Sun Yan are not from the faction of the valve family, and with them, there is no need to worry about the royal power being hollowed out, and there is no need to worry about the Song family and the Song family will have changes.

"Cao Fei is loyal and reliable" Yunyun is talking about the forbidden army in the royal capital, Cao Fei and Ling Huqu, including Lu Shuang, at least for now, all support Ling Hule, as long as they are okay, the military security of the royal capital will be fully guaranteed.

Although Zuo understood it, when he thought that Xin Er was going to stay away from the royal capital, his heart was empty, a bit of a six gods without a master, as if he had something to rely on, he was still reluctant, but since Xin Er said that he would not leave now, he would not send troops until next summer at the earliest, so she didn't say anything more, nodded lightly, and said: "Then wait for the general to send troops!" ”

After talking about two official matters, Zuo mentioned a private matter.

It is the marriage with Ling Huyan.

She said: "The first king ordered the general and Xianmei to marry next spring. It's already October, and we have to start working on it. ”

Xin Er replied: "Listen to the Queen Mother." ”

Marriage is a major event, and there are many procedures to go through.

At that moment, the two of them respectively designated the specific person to do it, and set to call them to dock tomorrow and be responsible for them respectively.

There's not much more to say.

Zuo and Xin Er fell silent.

The hall was quiet for a moment, and Xin Er bowed down and said: "If the queen mother has no other life, the minister dares to ask for retirement." ”

Zuo held Linghu Le and watched Xin Er leave the hall.

Snowflakes fall outside the hall, like jade dragon scales.

Looking at the tall and heroic posture of Xin Er in the snow, since the young son ascended the throne, the Zuo family, who has often tossed and turned, only feels stable.
