Qin Cheng leaned against the pillar and said indifferently: "Wait for the situation of the Xiongnu to stabilize, and then strengthen the control of Minyue, gradually educate the people, and establish the Central Plains system, then there will be no need to rely on those vassal kings." By the way, what does Bao Guan, the king of Nanyue, say? ”

Dongfang Shuo withdrew his gaze from the night sky, looked at Qin Cheng with his hands, and said with a little smugness: "Bao Guan is a sensible person, this time he has experienced Yu Shan's deeds, he should be long-hearted, and now his posture is very good, and he personally came to Chang'an to meet His Majesty a few days ago, showing his loyalty, and even asking His Majesty to send officials to help him govern civil affairs." ”

"What did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty is naturally accurate, these days are arranging officials to go to South Vietnam, this is a good opportunity to control South Vietnam and turn the kingdom into a county, out of this step, as long as there are no accidents, the rest of the matter will be logical." Dongfang Shuo looked at Dou Fei and said: "Speaking of this, it's really thanks to Dou Dashilang, if it weren't for Brother Dou who held Panyu City with his own strength, the situation in Baiyue would not be so clear now." ”

Dou Fei was introduced to Dongfang Shuo in person before Qincheng's expedition after he came back, and now he is a regular servant of the Han Dynasty. As for Dongfang Shuo, he has been promoted to Taizhong Doctor. Dou Fei listened to Dongfang Shuo's words, shook his head and refused to accept it, "How can I be able to defend a huge city?" It's all the power of many. ”

"You're still angry?" Dongfang Shuo scolded with an angry smile.

Dou Fei had to smile bitterly.

"Okay, Brother Dongfang, don't take it seriously, how can Brother Dou's mind be comparable to you and me?" Qin Cheng said half-seriously and half-jokingly, and asked again: "When you came back, did you pass by Huainan Kingdom?" ”

"Yes, I also saw the King of Huainan!" Speaking of Liu An, Dongfang Shuo was a little depressed, and when he was excited, he didn't have anything to hide when he spoke, "Liu An's guy is a master who doesn't leak, and he treats us as an uncle, and he pretends to be a grandson on the side!" You ask Brother Dou, is Liu An pretending to be more grandson than his grandson! This time, taking advantage of our victory in Minyue, we sent the prince of Huainan to Chang'an to congratulate His Majesty, just like a loyal minister, who knows what his idea is? ”

Dou Fei nodded seriously towards Qin Cheng, indicating that he seriously agreed with Dongfang Shuo's statement.

Dongfang Shuo said this, Qin Cheng knew that Dongfang Shuo had nothing to gain from this trip, of course, it could also be some secret things Dongfang Shuo was inconvenient to say to himself, although he and he were almost on the same line now, but in the end it was not to the point of completely confessing the roots.

is not like Dou Fei, Dou Fei was originally pulled up by himself, if he does not enter the office, he will already be in the office, and if he joins the office, he must stand with himself completely. This is due to the rules of the times, and it is also due to Dou Fei's temperament.

Dongfang Shuo took a step first, Qin Cheng and Dou Fei stood at the gate of the Qin Mansion together and watched Dongfang Shuo's carriage go away, Qin Cheng asked Dou Fei: "Brother Dou, has Your Majesty talked to you about the Fa family?" ”

"Hmm." Dou Fei responded, but he was not very excited, "We talked about it, but I can't guess what Your Majesty means." ”

"Tell me about it." Qin Cheng is naturally interested.

Dou Fei then stated: "When Your Majesty summoned me to the audience, he asked a lot of questions, and the questions were very detailed and wide-ranging. But what made me wonder was that His Majesty just asked, but did not give an evaluation or response, or even affirm or deny, which made me really bottomless. ”

"That's pretty good." Qin Cheng smiled, "You must know that Your Majesty has only ordered Confucianism to be respected for a long time, and it is already good news not to deny your Legalist thoughts, what are you not satisfied with, do you want to ascend to the sky in one step and change the world in a snap of your fingers?" ”

"Not really." After Qin Cheng said this, Dou Fei was also a lot relieved, "I was indeed a little anxious before, seeing that the hundred schools of thought were abolished, Confucianism flourished alone, and it seemed that it was difficult for the Legalists to have a place to stay, but I didn't feel good in my heart." You must know that now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all claim to take the destruction of Qin as a mirror, and there are nine out of ten evil laws. ”

Qin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "The road is long, take your time." I believe that Your Majesty must have a strategy in mind. ”

"You're right, that's all there is to it now." Dou Fei nodded.

When Dongfang Shuo and Dou Fei left the Qin Mansion, they left Gongsun Ce in his own carriage and asked the coachman to pull him back. Seeing Dou Fei leave at the gate of the mansion, Qin Cheng didn't have time to run back to the room after entering the hospital, so he was stopped by the housekeeper and reported: "General, there are guests waiting in the side hall, and they have been here for more than half an hour." ”

Qin Cheng arrived at the side hall with a little doubt, and immediately greeted him with a smile when he saw the person coming, "Who is it who doesn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and comes to me to sit here for half an hour, it turns out to be Brother Lei!" ”

"Brother Qin, it's been a long time." Lei was stood up and hugged his fist at Qin Cheng, and said with a smile: "I just saw that you were meeting guests, so it was inconvenient to disturb, so I waited here for a while." ”

"Since you're here, you can call Xin'er out to talk, why are you waiting here alone?" Qin Cheng ordered the servant to serve some snacks, which he said to Lei Shu again.

"It's late, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep too, anyway, I'm here to find you, and I can't delay it too long. I was still thinking that if you didn't come a little longer, I would have to leave a letter. Ray was said.

"What made you have to run this trip late at night?" Qin Cheng knew that his relationship with Lei Quilt could not be known to outsiders, otherwise there would be endless trouble. But the other party waited for so long late at night, and cautiously avoided even Dongfang Shuo and Dou Fei, who didn't know each other, there must be something important, and there was not too much greeting at the moment.

"Liu Qian, the crown prince of Huainan Kingdom, has returned to Chang'an, you know?" Ray was asked, "I came with him as a bodyguard this time." Liu Qian is now in Xingping Pavilion, do you know Xingping Pavilion? ”

"Liu Ling's place, I still know this." Qincheng Road.

"Yes." Lei Fu's face suddenly darkened, "She has been paying attention to you for a long time, you can't have not met you since you came to Chang'an for so long." ”

Qin Cheng didn't notice the gloom of Lei Shou's face for a while because he had drunk a lot of wine before, "It's not a happy thing to be remembered by the Lingweng Lord of Huainan Kingdom, but don't say it, I haven't seen this famous lord so far." ”

"You haven't seen it yet?" Lei was surprised by it, and then relaxed, and said with a little bitterness: "Sooner or later, I want to meet, there are few men in this world who can stand her temptation, probably except for His Majesty today, there is no second person." ”

Qin Cheng suddenly felt a little strange, so he smiled and said, "Could it be that you have been seduced?" I said, Brother Lei, you didn't come today just to discuss this woman with me, did you? ”

"Huh!" Lei was covered up with some unnaturalness, and then he realized that he had lost his temper, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but then he thought about how many times he had never lost his temper when he heard someone say the three words "Ling Weng Lord"? Immediately, he was relieved, sat up straight, and said: "This time, Brother Qin and General Wei led the troops to defeat the Huns, recover Heshuo, and shook the world, and everyone in the tens of millions of people knows about it. Such a big movement has made the lord of Ling Weng deeply jealous, this time Liu moved to Chang'an, in addition to congratulating His Majesty on Dading Baiyue, another purpose is to convey the words of King Huainan. Now the king of Huainan has been discussing with the lord of Lingweng, and has the intention of uniting Baiyue and Wei's Joseon. Brother Wanwang Qin should be careful and make plans in advance, lest the Han army be surrounded by enemies on all sides and be difficult to deal with, so the great cause of resisting Hungary is in danger, and Chang'an is in danger! ”

"Brother Lei is dedicated to the country, he is in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, I really admire! Brother Lei, don't worry, I will be more careful. Qin Cheng couldn't help but be moved after listening to Lei Bei's words, not only because of the shock of the news itself, but also because of Lei Shu's heart.

Lei was laughed at himself, although he couldn't understand the words of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he also understood what Qin Cheng meant, "What is dedicated to the country, it's just a stealing life, you can't do what you want to do, and you can't do what you don't want to do." ”

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, although Brother Lei has never gone into battle to kill the enemy, but this thought is enough." Qin Cheng saw that Lei was saddened, and couldn't help but persuade.

Lei was sighed, and his voice was a little sad, "What kind of hero, Lei Moujie's ear, An dare to defile the big word 'chivalry'?" It's just that life has been only for decades, and how many things in the past have become clouds of the past in a blink of an eye, and when I look back, I have to leave a clean place for my conscience. ”

"Brother Lei......" Qin Cheng wanted to comfort, but he didn't know what to say, if he didn't "reincarnate" well in this life, if he was still like the previous life, but it was just the same as Lei Quilt, and he would even be aggrieved.

The greatest sorrow in life is not "the owner who planted the tree book for the 10,000-word flat strategy", but a body full of loyalty, righteousness and pride, but he can only help the people of the troubled country.

"Brother Qin, it's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, so I'll leave." Lei was stood up, hugged his fist to Qin Cheng and said, "Greet Ah Mei for me, I'm a brother...... That's it, you take care of her, I don't have anything to worry about you! ”

"Brother Lei, be careful." Qin Cheng stood up and clenched his fists, and sincerely promised: "I will treat Xin'er well." ”

"Okay, farewell!"

After Lei was left, Qin Cheng got up and did not go straight back to the room, but stood quietly in the courtyard for a long time in front of the gauze lights in the courtyard and the stars in the sky.

"God, what do you want me to do when you let me travel back to this era?" Qin Cheng looked up at the sky and muttered, "Or are you full of food and hold on, make a joke on me, and change my fate by the way?" If that's the case, why don't you just let me be reincarnated and let a good family live a rich and prosperous life? Let me carry the memories of two lifetimes, do you know that it is very tiring? ”
