At the highest point of the imperial city of Qin Yue Capital, Qin Feng stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the city where the snow was flying.

The city, which had just been cleaned in the morning, was now covered in white, and the cleaning work seemed to be a useless task every day, but it was essential. In the entire Yuejing City, not every building is as strong as the Imperial City. It is not uncommon for such heavy snow to crush the house or something, and it is more secure to remove the snow that has accumulated on the roof every day. And like the snow on the street, if you don't sweep it, it will accumulate more and more, which will greatly affect travel.

Moreover, it is also to find something to do for some people who have nothing to do in the winter, although it is to take money from the yamen of the city guard of the capital, but this money, after all, will not go elsewhere, or will return to the purse of the imperial court in some other form.

Thanks to this heavy snowfall, the prices in Yuejing City have finally risen and returned to the level before deflation, which also makes Qin Feng breathe a sigh of relief, the price is too low, which is not a good thing for producers.

"Your Majesty!" A low voice came from beside him, Guo Jiuling was tightly wrapped in a thick cloak, and with a big hat on his head that almost covered his entire head, he appeared beside Qin Feng. In stark contrast to Qin Feng's dress, even in such a midwinter season, Qin Feng was just wearing a jacket robe.

"It's so windy outside, what are you doing here, if there is something to tell me, I just need to go back." Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's so windy here, can you stand it?"

"So the old minister is fully prepared!" Guo Jiuling smiled and said authentically. Over the years, he has completely adapted himself to the life of losing his advanced martial arts cultivation, and he is more likely to live as an ordinary person." It is not always possible to stand on this high place with His Majesty and enjoy the scenery of the mountains at a glance. So, no matter how cold the old minister is, he can stand it."

Qin Feng laughed, "The older you get, the better you can make a fool of yourself."

"It seems that the old minister did not pat the horse's hooves." Guo Jiuling also narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the furrows on his face became deeper and deeper.

Looking at Guo Jiuling's aging appearance and shrunken body, Qin Feng restrained his smile and sighed lightly: "Old Guo, in the past two years, you have become a little older. Don't work so hard, you go down, whether it's Tian Kang, Tian Zhen or Qianmian, you can afford to take on a big responsibility."

"The old minister knows. They have been helped on the horse, but the old minister can still move now, so he will give them a ride, and when the big event in the Chu country is certain, the old minister will immediately go to enjoy life." Guo Jiuling pulled the cloak tighter, "Shu Chang will come to personally diagnose my pulse and dispense medicine every month, so ah, Lao Chen's body is okay."

"You hurt your vitality, even if you are comfortable and try your best, you can't cure the root cause after all, you still have to be careful. We climbed through the most difficult times together, and I hope that when the time comes, you can see me climb to the top and really see the mountains with me!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will definitely strive to live until that time." Guo Jiuling nodded and said, "This matter is refreshing to think about, so the minister will definitely not die too early."

"Then even if we agree, don't hold on, rest immediately when you're tired, and when you're in good spirits, you'll come out to take charge again." Qin Feng admonished.

"Now that I've assigned most of the affairs, I'm only staring at the Chu State." Guo Jiuling Road.

"Do you still think Tian Kang is the most suitable person to replace you?" Qin Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Tian Zhen seems to be more suitable."

"Tian Zhen is indeed good, but he is suitable for this seat." Guo Jiuling shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the position of the Eagle's Nest commander is only suitable for the kind of person who has no worries and does not have too many interests involved, Tian Zhen is not good. Tian Kang's own ability is not inferior to Tian Zhen, and his wife Ziluo is also a good hand, and these two partners will definitely be able to run the Eagle's Nest well."

"But it seems that Tian Zhen has not given up the fight!" Qin Feng said, "A few days ago, Liu Xingwen was still at the family banquet, and it seemed that he inadvertently mentioned to me how hard Tian Zhen is doing things now."

Hearing Liu Xingwen's name, Guo Jiuling laughed: "Your Majesty, the father-in-law, to be honest, is really not strong in terms of political sensitivity, and he is also involved in this kind of thing. Tian Zhen is this a temptation? Looks like the old minister still has to beat him."

"Not only Liu Xingwen, but also Chen Jialuo, when they came back last time, they also mentioned Tian Zhen's credit in front of me, but Chen Jialuo is a bachelor, and directly told me that he hopes that Tian Zhen can take your place in the future. Of course, if I have someone else in mind, he doesn't care."

"Chen Jialuo is much more shrewd than Liu Shilang, he rang the wooden bell for Tian Zhen in front of you, and he won't let you hate him, Qi Shilang, that is, he has a good father and a good daughter!"

Qin Feng laughed: "Don't say it, it's really like this, Old Man Liu is an old fox-like character, and Xiao'er is also very smart and likable to Bingxue."

"It's probably intergenerational!" Guo Jiuling shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe it is. Lao Guo, to be honest, I hope that this daughter-in-law of mine will not be too smart!" QIN Fengdao.

"Your Majesty, the grape trellis in the Imperial Garden must have fallen again!" Guo Jiuling looked at Qin Feng with ill will.

"Nonsense." Qin Feng had a righteous face, "The queen mother is gentle and virtuous."

"That's that!" Guo Jiuling also nodded again and again. In front of her subjects, the Queen Mother of the Heart Dao can really be regarded as gentle and virtuous, but in front of you, it is impossible to say.

Who is Guo Jiuling? When it comes to the intimate relationship with the queen's mother, I'm afraid that Aunt Ying can compare with him, and his martial arts are lost for the queen. In front of Guo Jiuling, Min Ruoxi can always play whatever character she wants, without pretense.

"Your Majesty, I have come to look for you today, and I do have a few things to report to you. The first thing is that the Chinese businessmen who were arrested by the Qin people in Yongdu, who you have been thinking about, have been rescued."

"All rescued?"

Guo Jiuling paused: "I can only say that all those who are still alive have been rescued. According to incomplete statistics, we have a total of more than 5,000 merchants in Yongdu, Qin State, and less than 3,000 are alive in the end. The rest is gone. Or there are many more that we don't count, and they must all be dead."

Qin Feng sighed, the matter of the Tiger Prison was extremely secret, of course it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to notify the Ming people in the Qin realm to evacuate in advance, this was not to announce to the Qin people that the Ming Dynasty would make a big move and would turn against the Qin people, and after the Tiger Prison was completed, these Ming people in the tiger's den immediately became the objects of the Qin people's anger.

Of course, in the end, in the local county governance far away from the Yongdu of the Qin State, most of them were yin and yang, and they were slow to act, so that the Ming people who got the news could run and hide, but in Yongdu they were not so lucky. Basically, they didn't run away.

"Three thousand people, almost six million catties of grain, Your Majesty, this price is a bit big, not only the political hall, most people think that it is not worth it at all. Or because of these six million catties of grain, in the future war against Yongdu, it will make the Qin people hold out longer, and it will cause me to kill and wound more soldiers."

"Account, that's not how it is calculated!" Qin Feng shook his head: "It is the fate of warriors to shed blood on the battlefield, and these comrades, they are not in the ranks of the battle, but they have been implicated because of our actions, it is our responsibility to save them out, not to abandon, not to give up, every Ming person, should be treated like this."

Guo Jiuling said: "Of course, from another point of view, this matter is also of great benefit, which will make our Ming people's hearts more cohesive and more loving to Your Majesty, so the political hall has decided to send special people to the military camp outside Yongdu to pick them up and bring them back with great fanfare."

"Do you need that?" Qin Feng frowned.

"Your Majesty, since you have already paid six million catties of food, you will naturally have to make him worth the money." Guo Jiuling said affirmatively: "So I think it is very necessary."

"Since everyone thinks so, so be it." Qin Feng is indispensable.

"The second thing is that the Condor has sent back a message. The Qin people have increased their forces in the Hengduan Mountains. He has now been promoted again, and he has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. Murong Hai was also promoted. Now I'm in charge of a battalion alone."

Qin Feng chuckled, "One day when the East Window incident happens, Guo Xiancheng doesn't know what he will be angry. Will it vomit three liters of blood?"

"More than three liters? I must vomit blood! But there's one thing Your Majesty can't decide. Now Guo Xiancheng admires Tuoba Yan very much, knowing that Tuoba Yan is single, he actually introduced one of his nieces to him, and wants to further woo Tuoba Yan, Tuoba Yan doesn't know what to do now? Refusal, it seems unreasonable, a young and promising, strong young general, refuses to propose to someone who has great kindness to him, there is no such reason!"

"This matter, let Tuoba Yan make up her own mind, you don't have to give any opinions." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said.

"Your Majesty, I'm worried about ......"

"It's useless to worry!" Qin Feng shook his head, "Tuoba Yan's status in the Qi Kingdom is getting higher and higher now, and she is no longer the little bit we sent out at the beginning. It's no surprise that he's starting to have some ideas of his own, as long as it's good in the general direction, that's fine. I'm confident that he can handle these things."

"That's all it can be." Guo Jiuling felt a little toothache, this is his own negligence, he should have considered this problem a long time ago, an awl placed in the cloth bag, sooner or later it will puncture the cloth bag, any tiny details will have an immeasurable impact on the future events, if he had considered this section early and arranged for a woman to go to Tuoba Yan's side as soon as possible, there would be no such thing as now.
