Li Chang was stunned for a moment, his face was red, he threw the letter on the table in embarrassment, and shouted to Wang Shicheng: "You are literate all day long!" ”

Qin Huaishan looked at the two of them, then looked at Shi Min and said, "Childe, can you let the old man take a look at this letter?" ”

"Sir, please." Shi Min said without hesitation.

"Thank you." Qin Huaishan nodded slightly, stepped forward and picked up the letter on the table.

"King Ning did this, it was indeed unexpected!" Qin Huaishan said while looking at it: "But at this time, King Ning is the first to stand up and work with the general, just rush this point, he Shi is also kind to these disaster victims." ”

"Xiao Min, you said that King Ning did this, would there be any purpose?" Li Chang sat down and asked.

"I don't know, but Mr. Qin is right, at least he did it, and he was meritorious to the country!" Shi Min looked at the letter in Qin Huaishan's hand, and said, "But it's a little strange that he did it so carefully and didn't want people to know." ”

"Actually, if it's to put it bluntly, the old man thinks that this matter is not strange at all!" Qin Huaishan said, he had finished reading the letter, and put the letter back in front of Shi Min.

Shi Min was a little puzzled and said, "What is your opinion, sir?" ”

Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and said slowly: "Old Man thinks that the main reason why Shi Jian doesn't want others to know is that he doesn't want to cause trouble. ”

"The person he sent said the same thing, saying that King Ning was afraid that his behavior would cause unnecessary trouble, and he did not even allow the people who delivered food to stay in our camp, and they wore civilian clothes all the way. But what I don't understand is what kind of trouble he calls trouble. ”

"General, think about it, now that the flood in the Neihuang area of Anyang is going on, will the imperial court not know about it?"

"The imperial court must know!"

"That's right! But what can the court do? ”

"So far, there hasn't been much real action! Except that we took out rations for several months. ”

"Childe thinks that if the officials in the court knew that you were doing this, would they praise you or have thoughts about you?" Qin Huaishan asked.

"Compliments, of course!" Li Chang said first.

Qin Huaishan shook his head slightly and said, "Definitely! ”

Shi Min didn't speak, he glanced at Qin Huaishan, and Qin Huaishan continued: "It seems that Gongzi has understood what the old man meant!" ”

Wang Shicheng looked at Shi Min and Qin Huaishan, thoughtful, Li Chang was puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?" Do you have to be hated for doing good deeds? ”

"That's right! That's exactly what it means! Qin Huaishan said calmly to Li Chang.

"Recruit whoever messes with whom! Fuck it! Li Chang scolded.

"The whole world is drunk, but the son is awake alone! This is a grudge! Because then you look different! Qin Huaishan said, looked at Li Chang again and said, "General, will the wolves tolerate the dogs?" ”

"Of course not, they're not of the same kind!" Li Chang said without hesitation.

"The general is right, that's the truth!"

Only then did Li Chang understand what Qin Huaishan meant, and said, "So Shi Jian also thinks like this? ”

"That's right! The old man thinks that this is what His Royal Highness King Ning is worried about! Qin Huaishan looked at Shi Min again and asked, "General, I don't know if you think what the old man said is right?" ”

Shi Min nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. analyzes it!" In this way, it does make sense! ”

Wang Shicheng on the side suddenly said: "If Mr. said so, His Royal Highness King Ning also said that he is a very smart person!" ”

"Why did the third uncle say this?" Shi Min asked.

"Something that you and I haven't considered, he thought of it, isn't it enough to show that he is resourceful?"

"General Wang said yes! Old decay agrees with you! Qin Huaishan said first.

Shi Min Ye nodded and said: "In the life of the first emperor, it can be said that the mother and son of Concubine Zheng and His Royal Highness King Ning are extremely unkind, with the temper of the first emperor, King Ning can live peacefully under the iron broom for so long, without a little patience and resourcefulness, I am afraid it is impossible!" The third uncle's words woke up the dreamer! ”

"It's good that His Royal Highness King Ning doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just a pity that his life is not good, otherwise in the past year, maybe many things will be different." Qin Huaishan said.

Shi Min glanced at Qin Huaishan, obviously, his words sounded a little abrupt.

"Sir, I don't think so, maybe that alone doesn't mean anything, does it?" Wang Shicheng said.

"Lao Yu thinks that filial piety comes first, and I heard that although King Ning is unknown on weekdays, he is famous for his filial piety to his mother! At this point, at least this person is not a bad person, Childe, what do you think? Qin Huaishan asked.

"Understand that Shi Jian's so-called fear of getting into trouble is, nothing else matters! It's not about us! Shi Min said, and said to the three of them: "The three of them are not called here to discuss any military action, but to think of countermeasures based on the current situation of the victims outside the city!" With our little food and grass alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on! The grain and grass in the camp has been exhausted for nearly ten days, and we have been exhausted for nearly two months. ”

Wang Shicheng sighed and said, "Xiao Min is right, it's not a way to go on like this after all!" ”

"Third uncle, what is the news from Xu San's letter?" Shi Min asked.

Wang Shicheng handed the letter to Shi Min and said: "The news says that there is no news, the house has already known the current situation, Xu San sent a letter saying that His Majesty has moved back to Yongchang Pavilion from Wolong Mountain, and the princess entered the palace on the day His Majesty returned to the palace, and wanted to explain the current disaster to His Majesty, but he did not see His Majesty!" ”

"What? Is it useless for the princess to go? Shi Min was a little angry.

Wang Shicheng nodded, Shi Min opened the letter and looked at it, and it was angry on the photo table.

Li Chang was illiterate, so he didn't take it apart and look at it, and scolded himself on the side, probably for fear that if he said it, Shi Min would talk about him again. Qin Huaishan closed his eyes slightly, and sat aside without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shi Min was angry for a while and didn't know what to say, but Wang Shicheng looked at his face, obviously he even had the intention to kill now.

"Old man thinks it's ......" Qin Huaishan's voice suddenly sounded.

Wang Shicheng and Li Chang hurriedly pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Qin Huaishan's opinion, only to see Qin Huaishan slowly open his eyes and say to the three of them: "Forgive the old man for bluntly speaking, the imperial court can't get food for a while!" Spring ploughing has just begun, so you can't eat the grain, and eat the seeds that are ready to go to the ground! So the court can't count on it! Childe doesn't have to find a way to go back to see His Majesty! Because seeing or not seeing, it makes no difference! It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! Perhaps Your Majesty is not unaware of the current situation! It's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to take care of it! It's because His Majesty knows that there is nothing he can do about it! It's better for him to pretend that he doesn't know, so that everyone thinks that Zhang Bao is misleading the country and the people, which can also make sense, I don't know if the general thinks that the old man said this possibility is right? ”

Qin Huaishan's words made Shi Min suddenly brightened, it seemed that saying this was not wrong at all, it made perfect sense!

"There is some truth in what the gentleman said!" Shi Min nodded and said, "But that doesn't change anything!" If the people outside have nothing to eat, these hundreds of thousands! But they will starve to death! Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to understand one thing, that we are now thinking about food, not only for the victims, but also for ourselves! The food and salary of the imperial court will be distributed in half a year! We have already spent two months of money for the victims, and if we don't find a way to make up for it, I'm afraid that no matter how much we save, our brothers will not be able to survive for another two months! ”

"What Xiao Min said makes sense!" Wang Shimin nodded solemnly.

"Xiao Min, is there anything you can do?" Li Chang asked.

"There's a way, I'm thinking about it!" Shi Min said.
