Chapter 20 Preparation for the Shanglin Garden

"Shang Lin Yuan," Qin Bo also said as he listened to the words of his sixth son, "You told Gu how to transform this Shang Lin Yuan today......

Lin Yuyan, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, waved his hand and said: "No, this Shanglin Yuan is just borrowing a name, Shanglin Yuan does not need to go through any court power, and is directly responsible to the monarch's father, that is, in Shanglin Yuan, except for the monarch's father, no Daqin official or old clan has the right to ask!" ”

Qin Bo groaned slightly, and then said, "This matter ...... It is not in line with etiquette. ”

"Isn't the monarch's father taking the throne as his appearance, isn't it just for the sake of the prosperity of Great Qin!" Lin Yuyan asked rhetorically.

It is true that the original Great Qin really wanted to make an ambitious hegemony, but now the narrow space of the Qin Palace's palace has gradually eliminated the ambition of this Qin monarch.

Qin Bo lowered his head and looked at the Shanglin Yuan's policy written on the "paper" on the table, which was indeed attractive.

Back then, the phrase "Sanyang is ripe, and the big Qin is full" refers to the land of the three yangs, but Qin Jun now has a lot of concerns, including the contradictions of the old clan, the pressure of the clan, and even some forces that are about to move, all of which have to be considered.

"Lone needs to think about it carefully, so let's leave this Lin Yuan's decision on the desk......" Qin Bo said, then looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "Ju Yuan...... What did the old general say? ”

Hearing the question, Lin Yuyan also raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Father Jun think the old general Ju should say?" If it refers to this matter of going to Lin Yuan, as long as the monarch's father agrees, General Ju will naturally not disagree. ”

Qin Bo moved his gaze back to the table and said, "With the old general Ju on the shoulder, the Zongfu and the border army don't have much to worry about, and the old clan of Jianyang is mostly a branch of the old general Ju or a relative by marriage, and their biggest reliance is now gone...... The Land of Thorns is now in your hands...... You can do whatever you want. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan already knew that the monarch's father should have agreed to his decision to go to Lin Yuan, and at this time, Lin Yuyan did not forget Han Kui's recommendation: "Erchen is willing to recommend the guard Han Kui as the Shanglin Yuan Shangshu Order!" ”

"Han Kui, is that the leader of the Hundred Stone Terrace?!" Qin Bo asked rhetorically, and then glanced at Shang Lin Yuan's strategy and said, "I don't know why you have these in your head...... Strange things, but I have to say that you and Fan Qing really have some similarities, which is also the reason why Lone connived at you to mess around in all kinds, Thorn Yang is what you get, you are Lone's son, even if you are a Thorn Yang household, what can you do, there is merit in going to Lin Yuan, but Han Kui ...... I need to see if he is worth the appointment. ”

Lin Yuyan already understood his own father, or was influenced by Tun You, and was close to the thoughts of the Legalists, so he replied immediately: "Jun'er, Han Kui is a school of law, from the Qingxi Ghost Valley, maybe the monarch's father doesn't know the inheritance of this Qingxi Ghost Valley, but the son can guarantee that Han Kui is definitely ......."

However, when Uncle Qin heard what Lin Yuyan said, he was also surprised: "Qingxi Ghost Valley, but Guiguzi?!" ”

Lin Yuyan was also quite surprised: "Father Jun knows about Guiguzi?!" ”

Qin Bo explained to Lin Yuyan: "The Jin and Wei clans now have a military general, named Pang Yan, who has successively crusaded against Song, Lu, Wei, Zheng and other countries, all of which are defeated, claiming to be the teacher of this Guiguzi, and the name of Guigu is known to the whole world......"

Immediately, Qin Bo looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "Since Han Kui and Pang Yan are in the same door, Gu is going to meet him once, but whether you can get the position of Shanglin Yuan Shangshu Ling as you want depends on his own efforts!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also looked happy, and immediately saluted: "Thank you, father." ”

Seeing this, Uncle Qin shook his head and said, "Lone is very pleased, having your third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and even you are all very relieved, especially the things you did well in the Thorn Yang Clan this time......

Lin Yuyan also smiled and said nothing, because he still didn't know if the monarch's father was referring to the matter of the clan's land tax or the matter of the old clan.

Gao Jin, who had been standing silently beside Uncle Qin, also looked at the sky and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go down......

Uncle Qin also saw that it was already dark outside, and immediately said to Lin Yuyan: "It's getting late, you can step down, as for Han Kui, let him go to the palace tomorrow and ask him alone." ”

"Okay." Lin Yuyan responded, and then got up and retreated.

Qin Bo stared at Lin Yuyan's back as he turned to leave, until he disappeared at the end of his sight, and then slowly spoke: "Gao Jin, do you know what Gu is thinking now?!" ”

Gao Jin shook his head with a smile and replied, "I don't know, but Gao Jin knows that it is time for the monarch to go back and rest now." ”

"No, today's one thing after another has made the lonely tired, so there is no need to rush down to the palace for the time being." Qin Bo paused for a moment, and then whispered to Gao Jin: "Lonely thinking, among all the princes, who can be worthy of the great cause?!" ”

It's this taboo issue of the Qin royal family again, Gao Jin has always been taboo about this, how can he follow Qin Bo's words, but this stall Qin Bo put forward this word, it is not without a target, Gao Jin turned sideways slightly, looking at the direction where Gongzi Yan had just left, that back, this back that was sent down to the palace by the king, Gao Jin has not seen it for many years.

It seems that there was a man many years ago whose name was ...... Woo Woo.

……

The east side of the main gate of the Qin Palace seems to be a large area of official mansions, and many courtiers with real power in the Great Qin Dynasty, except for the Qin Palace, are here to deal with various political affairs and respond to the call of Qin Bo in the Xuanzheng Palace at any time, such as Siqing, such as the doctor, and even the eldest son Lin Yuren and Gongzi Xin all have a house here to convene their respective party members to discuss.

As soon as Lin Yuyan left the palace gate, it was already dark, and the courtiers in the official office also retreated one by one to prepare to go home.

"His Royal Highness Gongziyan." Lin Yuyan's attention didn't look elsewhere, but someone stopped him, and when he turned around, he realized that it was Situ Bailihuai.

Lin Yuyan turned around and said, "Baili Situ." ”

Baili Huai was followed by a few domestic servants, seeing that Lin Yuyan had just come out of the palace, he must have gone up to the main hall, Baili Huai walked to Lin Yuyan's side and said, "Your Highness has just returned from the main hall?" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "Hmm...... It is to report to the monarch how to deal with the follow-up of Thorn Yang. ”

Looking at the sky, Baili Situ also said: "On the same road as His Highness, you might as well talk while walking......

"Good!"

So Baili Huai was in front, Lin Yuyan was slightly behind, and behind him were Baili Huai's guards and Lin Yuyan's sect guard Jing Yi.

Lin Yuyan knew that Baili Huai was learning a famous school, and Lin Yuyan seemed to this school to be more like a balanced school of Legalism and Zonghengjia.

Baili Huai said again: "The matter of Thorn Yang has finally touched the reverse scale of the old clan, but today there is an old general Ju who has come forward, presumably these old clans have scruples, and they will not be embarrassed by His Highness, but Thorn Yang is thousands of miles of fertile fields, and His Royal Highness has all the income of the Lin family, I am afraid that the world will also think that His Royal Highness ...... Too greedy is not conducive to the prestige of His Highness. ”

Lin Yuyan stopped, looked at Baili Huai and asked, "Baili Situ, isn't it for the old clan to be a lobbyist?!" ”

Hearing this, Baili Huai looked stunned, and then realized that his words were indeed suspected of being a lobbyist for the old clan, and then smiled: "Your Highness said that it was a joke, Huai thinks that now Daqin is on the occasion of the four wars, and at this time Daqin can not be chaotic, especially the old clan, which has always been the representative of the imperial court to control the locality, and when the country is in turmoil, it is the old clan that calls on the young and strong people who see the field to protect the family and defend the country......"

Lin Yuyan interrupted Baili Huai when he heard this, and said directly: "You can say whatever the minister wants to say, there is no need to beat around the bush." ”

Only then did Baili Huai realize that His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan could not be treated with a prince who had just been out of the cabinet for less than a year, and only then did he plan to tell Lin Yuyan the truth: "Your Highness, now Jing Guo ...... Northern King Miquan and Shouwang Huanyu led hundreds of thousands of troops to the north to attack Deng State, I am afraid it will not be long before Deng State can not support it, and then the army of Jing State will wave north to Daqin, at that time it is time to mobilize the old clan to recruit neighbors to protect the family and defend the country, at this time, it is not conducive to the ...... to rise sharply with the old clan."

Lin Yuyan asked directly, "How long can Deng Guo hold out?!" ”

Baili Huai looked stunned, and then said to Lin Yuyan: "Deng Guo has the spare strength, and he can still hold on for half a year, and in addition, the heavy snow in midwinter and the flooding of summer water, Deng Guo can take advantage of the time and place to block the Jing State Red Turban Army, but I am afraid that next year at the earliest, Deng Guo will be broken!" ”

There is still a year to go......

Lin Yuyan thought about it carefully, and said to Baili Situ: "Baili Situ, Yan...... is not a person who ignores the overall situation, but Situ is also clear that the old clan is equivalent to the withered grass on the original, vast and useless, with fire in the name, the original spark can set the prairie on fire! ”

A spark can start a prairie fire!

I have to say that Situ Bailihuai is indeed moved by Lin Yuyan's words, and a spark can start a prairie fire!

After a long time, Situ Baili Huai finally smiled and said to Lin Yuyan: "Baili has expected that he will not be able to convince His Highness today, but he didn't expect to be moved by His Highness's words...... That's it, since His Highness already has a proposition in his mind, Baili will no longer advise! ”

Lin Yuyan stopped, looked at Baili Huai and said, "Situ, there is a fork in the road ahead......

Baili Huai looked up, and it was indeed a fork in the road.

Lin Yuyan stared at the fork in the road in front of him and said: "Situ, the people are like water, who can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, the old clan is a small boat on the water after all, Rao is the current Great Qin, and it is just a slightly larger boat, what can really resist the national disaster has always been these rural savages who have no place to be buried, not those old clans who will succeed in ten thousand bones!" ”

Hearing this, Baili Huai frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness's words seem to be biased......

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also raised the corners of his mouth and replied: "Is it biased, it is me and Situ who have different understandings, different choices, whose choice is right, maybe it won't take long, Situ can see for himself, it's getting late, and please take the road carefully when Situ returns home, after all, Wancheng, as the capital of Qin, is also an uneven road......

Hearing this, Baili Huai lowered his head and looked at the road, indeed, the road in front was already slightly shabby because of disrepair.

"Situ, Yan has taken his leave......" Lin Yuyan said to Baili Huai, and then turned to leave.

What a stubborn boy!

Baili Huai looked at Lin Yuyan who turned to leave, and scolded with a smile, and then looked around, the low houses, and some places still emitted a foul smell, Baili Huai frowned, it is indeed a little different from a king......

……

"Yuyan! Huang Yan! Wait for the brother! ”

Lin Yuyan just turned around and said goodbye to Baili Huai, not long after, he heard someone calling behind him.

The night had ended, and Jing Yi reminded: "Your Highness, it's Gongzixin." ”

Sure enough, Lin Yuyan saw him approaching from the shadows: "Second brother, why did you return home so late?" ”

Gongzixin said with a smile: "As soon as the sixth brother came out of the palace, he saw it for his brother, who knew that he was preempted by Baili Situ, so he was the second brother to ...... Why did the sixth brother enter the palace again today? ”

Lin Yuyan did not hide anything from Gongzi's letter: "Ask your father to treat Thorn Yang as the clan land." ”

Hearing this, Gongzixin nodded.

Especially the sixth brother asks for treatment of Thorn Yang, which means staying away from the competition for the throne, like the third, fourth, and fifth children.

"Second Brother Wang, today I heard about the old traces of the former Prime Minister of the country, and I was very emotional, so I want to recommend a talented person for Daqin, that Han Kui!"

"Han Kui, the leader of the Hundred Stone Terrace?!" Gongzixin remembered something and said, "By the way, I heard that the sixth brother won that Han Kui on the Baishi Platform today?!" ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yuyan nodded, and then said: "After all, it's just sophistry, I think Han Zi's talent should not be condescended to the small Baishi platform, so I want to ask the second brother to help!" ”

"Oh? If you want to ask Brother Wang for help, do you want Brother Wang to recommend this Han Kui as the Thorn Yang Order, Huang Yan, just say it! Gongzixin is also heroic to hold Lin Yuyan, now the "benevolent party" in the court has been cut twice, it is already unsuccessful, at this time, Gongzixin wants to recommend a talent, or the position of the city order is not very important, it is not how difficult.

However, Gongzi's letter scared Lin Yuyan to veto it immediately, especially now when the "Faith Party" is strong, the second brother recommended Han Kui, not to mention Han Kui's Shangshu Order, even Lin Yuyan's own Lin Yuan was also delayed because of the fear of the monarch's father.

"Brother Wang, I want to ask you to recruit craftsmen for me!" Lin Yuyan said.

"Recruiting Artisans?!" Childe Shin was surprised.

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "Please Brother Wang recruit craftsmen for me, bronzesmiths, blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons are all needed, and the more the merrier." ”

Gongzixin asked, "Sixth brother, what do you want these craftsmen to do?" ”

"Thorny Yang has suffered a lot from banditry, and it will take a lot of craftsmen to rebuild."

"But blacksmiths make iron tools, what do you need these people to do, besides, these craftsmen are all people who are not engaged in food production, and there are many of them, and there are many people in your house, I am afraid it will be difficult to afford them......"

"No, these are all Shanglin...... Burdened by the Thorn Yang Mansion. ”

"Right...... For brother but forgot, Yu Yan you are now rich in thorns, okay, Brother Wang, think about it...... By the way, Yuyan, the Miyang Iron Mine is around Jianyang, Brother Wang can be the master and assign it to Yuyan you, and the Miyang Foundry can also be assigned to Yuyan, and the weapons that supply the Wuyin Fangcheng Army can be cast by the Boshan Foundry. ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Lin Yuyan is also very grateful to this brother who supports him.

"Yuyan, they are all their own brothers, and they are meant to support each other, why do you need to be so polite?! In the future, if my brother asks for something to get to Yu Yan, I hope that Yu Yan will not refuse. ”

Hearing Brother Wang say this, Lin Yuyan also confessed to Gongzixin: "The amount I take from Brother Wang must be returned to Brother Wang!" ”

"Yu Yan, you and my brother, don't count ......"

Gongzixin immediately pulled Lin Yuyan's sleeve, just took advantage of the excitement and didn't say anything more.
