It must be very difficult to limit the desires of others. It is difficult to control your own desires, and if you want to control the desires of others, there is nothing more than killing people and taking their wives.

Qu Ping said: "This matter must be done drastically, but it must also take proper care of the feelings of the people, and not be too radical and ruthless." How about the equipment of crossbow arrows, and the configuration and installation of catapults and bed crossbows around borders and important passes? ”

Lu Ji replied: "Crossbow arrows have been mass-produced, and each route army is currently equipped with at least 10,000 crossbows. The pass basically achieved full coverage of fifteen to twenty catapults and bed crossbows, and as long as the enemy dared to enter the firing range with a large force, he would surely suffer heavy losses! ”

Qu Ping nodded: "These giant devices won't be exposed to the enemy's eyelids, right?" ”

"Big brother, rest assured, there are tree bunkers to cover it, and it will not be easily detected by the enemy."

"So much for the best! Even if he is seen through, it is estimated that he will not dare to set foot easily! Qu Ping sighed, "It must have taken a lot of silver to make so much equipment, right?" ”

"No way, one goods and one money." Lu Ji said.

"Okay, but we must ensure the quality, not fast, too much!" Qu Ping admonished.

Lu Ji patted his chest and said, "Lord Guogong, don't worry!" Master Lu does things, you can rest assured! ”

Qu Ping showed the ideal blueprint for the future of the Great Song Dynasty to Zhao Gou for review, and Zhao Gou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Anyway, you are really my heavenly helper!" In that case, shouldn't our relationship go further? ”

Qu Ping didn't know why, and said blankly: "How can I go further, isn't it close enough now?" ”

"Aiqing pretended to be confused again, the county lord of Ping'er and you mattered, but even the queen mother knew about it!"

"That's not bad!" Qu Ping shouted.

Zhao Gou patted Qu Ping on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother is the first to raise her hand in favor!" I am the second, and your wife is the third...... Since then, the two have become one, isn't there less estrangement? Ha ha! ”

Qu Ping hesitated and said: "This ......"

Zhao Gou said unhappily: "What, you still want to shirk?" Isn't it a man? Or are you just perfunctory? ”

Zhao Gou asked three times in a row, and Qu Ping hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just that the minister is worried about public opinion ......."

"Who dares to talk nonsense, my marriage, who in the world dares to chew his tongue!"

"It's just that I wronged the county lord......"

Zhao Gou said loudly: "What is she wronged, it's too late to be happy!" Ping'er, come out quickly, your future husband has agreed, no, he is begging me to marry you! ”

Zhao Ping'er shyly turned out of the screen behind her, and said to Zhao Gou reproachfully: "Nonsense, obviously you forced him!" ”

Qu Ping would no longer grind and chirp at this time, he approached Zhao Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, as long as you don't feel wronged, I will definitely marry you in sixteen sedan chairs!" ”

Zhao Ping'er said shyly: "Sixteen people are crowded, how can you walk?" ”

Zhao Gou felt that he was about to become numb, so he quickly interrupted the two and said, "Okay, don't offer treasure in front of me." I immediately made a decree to grant the marriage, and chose a date to complete the marriage, so that some people would not be annoying to come to me because they were Sauvignon Blanc. ”

"Your Majesty." Qu Ping said.

Zhao Ping'er said happily: "Thank you, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" The emperor lives with the sky and shines with the sun and the moon! ”

Zhao said: "Okay, don't be poor, just have fun with everyone." ”

Since there is a marriage from the emperor, everyone will follow to congratulate them.

The emperor's holy decree was also sent to Qu Mansion, and Qu Ping and Xiao Lu happily accepted the holy decree.

The emperor's will is concise and concise: give marriage to the county lord Zhao Ping'er and Yongguo Duke Qu Ping, may the Duchess of Yongguo and Zhao Ping'er be equal and juxtaposed, only sisters, regardless of the main and secondary, may the eternal union be concentric and become a good story together!

Xiao Lu and Zhao Ping'er have long been sisters in private, and this time they are justifiably serving a husband, so naturally there is nothing disagreeable.

Qu Ping chose an auspicious day and went to visit Lao Yue's house, and the prince was very relieved and said: "You are the important weapon of the country, although Ping'er is the lord of the county, you don't have to worry too much about the affairs of your children." Marriage, in my opinion, can be simple. Ping'er marrying you is her fate and her blessing. ”

Lao Yue is so polite, of course Qu Ping can't just say that everything is simple, it should be done, and it is impossible to favor one over the other.

When the prince heard Qu Ping's insistence, he was even more happy, and said: "It's a pity that you are my son-in-law, I knew you earlier, we can be brothers!" ”

Zhao Ping'er happened to pass by the door, and when she heard the words of the prince, she was angry, and pulled Qu Ping to leave.

This is a justifiable marriage, and it is not elopement, how can you just leave by your temperament, besides, if you don't show your sovereignty at this time, how will you discipline it in the future, not to mention that this father-in-law is still so like-minded.

"Come back! If you marry me in the future, you can't make your father angry because of your temperament! Qu Ping dragged Zhao Ping'er back.

When Zhao Wangye heard this, he smiled even more, and he said, "Haha, it's okay." Ping'er has been a father to me since she was a child, and I will be relieved to have you to discipline me in the future. After you get married, I still have to go back to Huainan and don't bother you. ”

Zhao Ping'er has not gotten along much with her father since she was a child, and her mother is not there, and now she is about to marry a woman, think about her attitude towards her father, and she can't be so willful and reckless in the future, so she will lose her temper.

Zhao Ping'er took Zhao Wangye's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, you like to joke, Ping'er will not be by your side in the future, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"It's okay, Dad is in good health. And, Daddy, and your aunts...... No, people take care of it! "Lord Zhao is rude-hearted, and he almost got angry again.

Zhao Ping'er said angrily: "Then you have to pay more attention to your body!" "Let's have a book

obtained the approval of his father-in-law, played the emperor, chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and Qu Ping used an eight-lift sedan chair to marry Zhao Ping'er to the mansion.

Qu Ping is already an experienced person, so naturally he is familiar with everything, and he will capture Zhao Ping'er.

Zhao Ping'er is usually generous, but the first time the yellow flower girl was encountered, she also became a daughter at the critical moment, and it was unnatural to twist and pinch.

After worshipping the church, thanking the saint, and seeing Xiao Lu, Zhao Ping'er has been one of the hostesses of the Qu family since then.

The repetitive trivia of getting married, let's not show it for the time being.

However, he said that time passed slowly, and it was June of the fourth year of Jianyan, and the expected Tubo Dynasty did not come true.

Zhao Gou discussed in the court whether he should gather troops and give them some color to see.

Qu Ping and Li Gang agreed that rushing to send troops would probably do more harm than good, and besides, the earthquake had only occurred in the southwest not long ago, so the main thing should be to calm the people.

Zhao thought about it and made sense, so he gave up for the time being, but he still felt a little lost in his heart. It may be that since he ascended the throne, everything has been too smooth, and it seems that good things still need to be grinded.

Zhao Gou ordered Wu Lan of Chengdu Fu Road to pay attention to the movements of Tubo at all times, and report it immediately if there was any change or opportunity.

However, there is another piece of good news, which washes away the haze caused by Tubo to the emperor.

That is, Shao Chengzhang, who was ordered to go to sea, has already arrived in Hong Kong in triumph, and it is expected that he will be able to return to Beijing on 20 July.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed, and calculated carefully, it has been a year and a half since Shao Chengzhang went to sea. I don't know what kind of results he will bring back, it's really exciting!

"I decree that Shao Chengzhang is welcome to triumph! In this matter, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to make it beautiful, so that every soldier who comes back will be happy. Honors, salaries, and great rewards! Zhao Gou said.

"Obey the order!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, finally has a good opportunity to perform, and he must do it beautifully according to the emperor's wishes. No, it should be simple but not simple, and it should not be extravagant and wasteful.

Qu Ping's heart is also extremely cheerful and gratified, the person he recommends must not live up to his own intentions and expectations!

Zhao Gou cleaned up his mood and asked, "What else do you have to do with Aiqing?" ”

One of the people in the palace hesitated again and again, and said: "The minister has this music!" The emperor's foundation has been decided, and everything should be moved first. As he spoke, a bean-sized sweat broke out on his forehead, "Now the two princes are healthy, and they should establish rules as soon as possible, and establish a long or virtuous person to settle the world!" ”

Everyone looked at the man in unison, and he didn't dare to look up.

Zhao Gou had a cold face and shouted, "You lift your face!" ”

The man raised his head, and Qu Ping looked at it, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"It's you, Zong Ying, the son of Lord Zong Ze!" Zhao Gou suddenly realized, didn't he just be promoted to be a member of the household department, why did he itch so quickly.

Qu Ping then remembered that he had a relationship with him, and it seemed that he had a good opportunity to leave Lao Tzu and go to work in the central government. But this piece seems to have some pots that don't open and mention, the emperor is young and strong, and there is a majestic strategy, which is the time to set up the prince.

Zhao Gou remembered that he was Zong Ze's son, Long Yan eased slightly, and said, "Who taught you this?" ”

Zong Ying didn't dare to answer, her face was flushed, the sweat on her forehead was dripping on the ground, and her back was already soaked.

"Is it the old general Zong?" Zhao asked.

Everyone also pricked up their ears, wondering why Master Zong said this.

Zong Ying knelt on the ground and cried: "The emperor is shengming! My father felt that his destiny was coming, and he had some words to admonish the saint even if he risked death. Since ancient times, there have been many disputes in the royal family, nothing more than for a dragon chair, and in the end, the hands and feet are broken, and even the dragon luck is damaged! Although the emperor is young, it is advisable to establish rules as soon as possible to calm the harem and set the hearts of the people. ”

Zhao Gou didn't speak for a long time, looked down at the officials in the hall who bowed their heads and were silent, and said in a deep voice: "What suggestions do you have for the ministers?" ”

Royal affairs, who dares to judge indiscriminately, let alone make rules.

No one accosted him, so Zhao Gou named him: "Ministry of Rites, what do you think?" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Back to the emperor, the dragon son is still young, and the future can be expected, so it is not too late to discuss it in the future." ”

Zhao Gou asked Li Gang again: "What about the Prime Minister?" ”

Li Gang stubbornly said: "The royal affair is also the world's affair, and the world's affair is the world's affair, and that is the matter that concerns everyone." In the humble opinion of the ministers, the prince should be chosen from the long-term of the society. ”

"The prime minister's meaning is to be virtuous, regardless of the eldest or younger, right?" After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he looked at Qu Ping, "Lord Qu, what do you think?" ”

Qu Ping didn't have those vain golden means, he said firmly: "The minister also agrees with Lixian." The future of the imperial court should be decided by talent, not by fate! ”

Zhao Gou nodded: "That's what I mean." Master Zong, you can calm down, the old general of Zong and your fist, I fully understand, I will not blame you, I also want to thank you for setting a pattern for me to the world. However, how to be considered virtuous, I personally feel that it is too one-sided, and it still needs to be carefully regulated, so let's talk about this matter later! ”

Zong Ying was shocked, got up tremblingly, thanked the emperor, and said: "My father has been getting weaker and weaker recently, and I feel that I have no chance to meet the emperor again. ”

Zhao Gou said with a heavy heart: "You say." ”

"If Yanyun doesn't take it, the mountains and rivers will be difficult to recover!" Zong Ying said word by word, categorically.

Zhao Gou repeated these eight words, and said firmly in his heart: General Zong, I will not let you down!
