Chapter 496: Old Love
What a wonderful proposition!
The prince sat silently on the side, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word, and the ministers couldn't help but look at King Qin several times, shocked by his proposal.
The sage also turned around suddenly, looked at King Qin, and asked, "Gather the soldiers and horses of Yuezhou, Taizhou, Hangzhou, and Wenzhou to the water division, and use the water division to lead the military affairs of the four states?" β
King Qin said: "Exactly! Because of the topography, the soldiers and civilians of these four states must be familiar with the water, if they can be returned to the water division, then the difficulty of familiarizing themselves with the water in the first level will be solved, and Sister A only needs a little training to become an army. Moreover, these four states are in a corner of peace, on the land, unless someone is plotting rebellion, otherwise, it will be as stable as Mount Tai, even if there is an enemy, it should come from the sea, and the establishment of the sailor can prevent the enemy from the sea! Therefore, in my opinion, the soldiers of the four states can be cut off and assigned to the water division, and then recruited troops on the spot, so as to gather 100,000 people to deter the sea and lead the military affairs of the four states. β
This is a bold suggestion, and a first-of-its-kind proposal!
The sage said: "King Qin's advice is a big matter, let's discuss it again, and then talk about it." β
"Whoa."
King Qin responded, and immediately said, "There is a second advice." β
The sage looked at King Qin's eyes very pleased, quite a bit "My son is so good, I'm so happy", and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" And it is. β
"Whoa."
King Qin bowed down and said: "Father, if Jiangnan tries to plant new rice, then Sister Ah should have a great achievement." However, this proposal was proposed by Xue Lang, if it is successful, there should be a reward for meritorious work. That's why my father ......"
King Qin shook his head to the end, raised his hands above his head, and his posture was full of sincerity: "My son knows that Xue Lang is really rude when he collides with his father, but he sympathizes with him from a public heart, and has the merit of introducing new rice seeds, and begs his father to spare him once, forgive him for the crime of exile, and return him to freedom." β
The sage looked unpredictable, he couldn't see joy or anger, and he glanced at the prince with a vague look in his eyes, and saw that he was sitting peacefully, and he actually didn't intercede for Xue Lang with King Qin...... The saint sighed silently in his heart and looked into the hallβ
Li Gang, Pei Ju, Pei Lian and others also bowed down and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" β
Pei Ju said: "The sage, Xue Lang, is cautious and careful, when he served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was actually the right hand of the minister, and under his reform, the Ministry of Gold and the Ministry of Warehouse under his reform, compared with the past, has made great progress. With a pair of old eyes, Xue Lang is really a person who does things, although he has no eloquent talent, but his character is worthy of trust, please forgive Xue Lang as appropriate! β
Li Gang also said: "Sage, Xue Lang entered the court, it was recommended by the old minister, his talent and character, the old man did not say that he knew everything, but he was also a benevolent gentleman, such a character, so talented, the sage has already punished him for being reckless and rude, why not have mercy on him and save him from exile!" β
The saint stared at the people kneeling on the ground in the hall, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "That's it! Since the king of Qin and Zhongqing interceded for him, I spared him once, but there are also conditions for this forgiveness. β
"Father, please."
King Qin asked excitedly, his joy was beyond words. The saint said: "Although the punishment of exile can be avoided, how to avoid it depends on how well he acts." For the time being, I will allow him to go to Taizhou to reunite with Pingyang, and I will also order him to preside over the trial planting of new rice seeds...... Hmph, he won't have to go back to Chang'an for the rest of his life! β
"Thank you, father!"
King Qin immediately thanked him. The sage waved his hand and said: "Today I am also tired, and I will disperse first, regarding Erlang's proposal to lead the military affairs of the four states by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, we will discuss it again tomorrow, and retreat!" β
"Oh, the ministers are leaving!"
The crown prince, the king of Qin and the ministers retired, but the joy on the face of the king of Qin did not fade, and he left the palace happily.
In this way, in the eyes of the sage, the expression on his face couldn't help but add a little smile, and he called Pei Lin to stop him, and the two good friends walked around the Taiye Pool together.
The sage asked, "What does Xuan Zhen think of Erlang's proposal?" β
Pei Lin smiled and said: "The saint already has a holy judge in his heart, why bother asking his subordinates!" β
The sage raised his head and smiled, noncommittal, Pei Lin quietly glanced at the sage, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Xue Lang is also magical, the minister has counted it privately, since he naturalized my Tang Dynasty, sweet potatoes and potatoes are already amazing, and now there is a new rice seed, if it can be successfully tried in Jiangnan, it can also be promoted in Huguang after I come, why is this Xue Lang's meritorious service, all related to food?" The minister suggested that the saint should give him the title of harvest. β
That's a joke!
The saint raised his head and laughed, pointed at Pei Lin and said, "You old man! However, when you say this, I realize that it is really so, and people can't help but think of it. β
Pei Lin quipped: "I wonder if the minister is lucky enough to listen to it?" β
The sage smiled: "I heard Pingyang say that her horse has four ways of clothing, food, housing and transportation, except for food, she is not very particular. The housekeeper is rough, but he is very attentive to the training of the cook, and he likes to change the way he thinks and eats every day, which is a wonder. β
Pei Lin smiled and said, "I see." No wonder the minister heard that the sage gave him a villa in Lishan, and he was so excited that he said that he wanted to grow mushrooms and invite the sage to enjoy. Dare to ask the sage, there are no mushrooms to eat on the horse? β
The sage laughed: "I have eaten it in winter, and it is indeed delicious." β
The two good friends complained about Xue Lang while walking, but they had a good chat, walking and walking, the sage looked at the water surface of the Taiye Pool, couldn't help but be slightly distracted, silent for a while, and said: "Xuan Zhen, the two of us should go fishing, catch fresh fish, summon a fish master to come in, how about my monarch and ministers enjoy a meal of fish." β
Pei Lin said with a smile: "Thank you for the grace of the saint, but the minister is disrespectful, so he brazenly disturbs the saint." β
"You, you!"
The two set up their fishing rods and fished by the pond.
It was said that it was fishing, but the saint was a little thoughtful, looking at the water, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that the saint's mind did not belong, Pei Lin glanced at the little yellow door, and the little yellow door quietly moved his steps, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Xue Yuma once accompanied the saint to fish and enjoy fish by the Taiye Pond several times. β
Pei Lin understood, bowed his head slightly, and accompanied the saint to fish with full tacit understanding, pretending not to know that the saint's thoughts did not belong.
Taiye Chi's good friends gathered and were not busy saying, after the prince returned to the East Palace, he looked at the calm expression before, and immediately darkened, and sat alone in the main hall without saying a word.
After a while, King Qi came: "Big brother, why is this so?" Didn't my father say yes yet? β
