readx;?readx; Chapter 412 and 36 plans to go up
Bright sunlight shines through the windowsill and falls on the brocade quilt embroidered with lotus flowers. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingchen danced happily in the light, and there was a girl leaning against the bed, it was Ruolan. I saw her reclining at the head of the bed, bowing her head lightly, and the green silk fell from her neck like a waterfall, as if she was asleep.
"Water ......" A slight voice sounded, immediately waking her up. Rubbing her eyes, she saw that the prince's face was haggard, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Master, you wait a minute." He took a pillow and propped him up, and brought a bowl of honey water from the small stove on the side, and fed him spoonful by spoon.
After drinking seven or eight spoonfuls of warm honey water, the burning sensation in my throat finally lightened, but my head was still buzzing. Qin Lei patted his head vigorously and hissed, "What time is it?" β
Ruolan smiled and said, "It's time, master, you have slept for nearly nine hours." After Qin Lei finished drinking the water, she sat behind him and reached out to gently massage his head.
Under Ruolan's gentle care, Qin Lei's head finally stopped hurting so much, and his thinking became normal......
Dotted memories appeared in his mind, Qin Lei shook his head, and said uncertainly: I seem to be drunk......"
Ruolan smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I'm still very drunk." β
"It seems that there is still gibberish to ......" dots of memories swiped to form shiny silk threads, connecting intermittent memories.
Ruolan said softly: "It's a ...... to say something."
"I also beat someone......" The line moved, and everything yesterday finally became a complete picture, Qin Lei slapped his forehead vigorously and said: "It seems that it has drilled the bottom of Mrs. Li's skirt......"
After speaking, he covered his face with his hands and wailed: "This is a shame on the dead......"
Seeing the appearance of the prince, Ruolan was distressed and wanted to laugh, so she had to reach out and caress his back, and said softly: "It's okay, it's all over, let's not drink so much in the future." β
Qin Lei nodded, patted his cheek vigorously and said, "Well, I won't drink so much in the future." As he spoke, he turned over and fell to the ground, shouting, "Shi Kang!" β
"Yes!" Shi Kang's voice sounded outside the door.
"Tell the team to prepare, we will leave early tomorrow morning and go to Jingshan Camp!"
"Ah...... Yes, sir! Although he was a little surprised, Shi Kang still responded loudly.
Ruolan in the house also said unexpectedly: "Didn't you say that you would wait until Sister Shiyun's injury is stable before leaving?" β
Qin Lei moved his stiff limbs, and smiled helplessly: "How can I still have the face to stay here?" It's better to leave early and avoid the limelight. β
Ruolan was slightly disappointed in her heart, but she also knew that it was really not suitable for the prince to meet Mrs. Li, so she had to nod obediently, and asked softly while helping him remove his clothes: "What about Mrs. Li, it seems that she is going to live in the mansion permanently?" "What happened yesterday, in order to prevent the sheep from falling into the tiger's mouth, it is impossible for Mrs. Li to leave her daughter.
Qin Lei didn't speak, let Ruolan bathe and change clothes for herself, and after the washing stopped, and the top and bottom were refreshed, then she said softly: "This work Shiyun and her mother are angry, and I just work for nothing to apologize, she won't see me." Ruolan was silent, and said in her heart: 'The wife of a big family is hard, and she doesn't have to take care of the prince's face.'
Qin Lei didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but still said to herself: "Let it come and go freely, wait for the last month, the old lady's anger will disappear, and I will come to the door to make amends." Ruolan couldn't help but laugh and said softly, "Master, you are too funny."
Qin Lei hugged her soft waist with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Master's heart is broken, ask Xiao Lanlan to help heal it." As he spoke, he hugged Ruolan tremblingly and said strangely: "Baby, why are you so heavy?" β
Ruolan shook her head vigorously and said, "No...... Slaves and maids should pay attention to their diet...... The clothes are not small at all. β
Qin Lei held Ruolan's little sister to the bed, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that I am tired all over......
Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Master, people say that after a hangover, it's like this." β
"I'm going to swear to quit drinking!" Qin Yutian swore to the sky: "One pound a day, never overdo it......"
Ruolan was just about to get up, but when she heard the words, she fell on the bed again, and sighed softly in her heart: "Is this considered quitting drinking?" β
The palace of Longwei County has always maintained a vigorous and resolute style, and when Qin Lei's spirit is re-energized, he will go to the palace to resign. It was originally planned, so it didn't take much time to speak. Besides, now is the time to win people's hearts, and Emperor Zhaowu is not very willing for him to stay in the capital, but he asked the reason slightly, Qin Lei said a few words, and then nodded and let go.
Before Qin Lei retreated, Emperor Zhaowu had just remembered and said casually: "Tomorrow, your second brother will send an envoy, and you will leave after sending him off." Qin Lei nodded and responded softly.
He went to the Queen Mother and Concubine Jin in turn to say goodbye. The old queen mother is not feeling good these days and is crooked in bed. Qin Lei asked distressedly, and the old lady shook her head and smiled: "People are old, and the old bones can't stand God's toss, and the days of winter and spring handover every year are the most difficult." β
The old eunuch Qiu on the side also said: "In previous years, at this time, the Queen Mother went to the west to dissipate, but she has not gone high and low these years. β
Empress Dowager Wenzhuang smiled and said: "When you are old, your body can't bear to bump." Then she didn't mention this matter again, the grandfather and grandson said a few words, and she let Qin Lei go to Concubine Jin. When I went to Concubine Jin, I still had nothing to say. I don't know how, the relationship between the mother and son is getting weirder and weirder, and there are always some detached looks. However, Lao Qi was still very affectionate to Qin Lei, and after playing with him for a while, Qin Lei also said goodbye and left Jinyu Palace.
Seeing that there was still some time, he went to Yongfu to take a look again, Yongfu was frightened in that assassination, and even if he fainted, his body bones were still not as sharp as before the spring outing. Qin Lei was naturally extremely guilty, but Yongfu fainted with fear for that day, and he was very unhappy.
After talking to Yongfu in the palace for a while, it was not early, and Qin Lei left the palace.
The sky is full of red glow, blocking a layer of golden light on the solemn king's car, which is even more magnificent.
"Lord Wang, shall we go home?" Shi Dang asked softly.
Qin Lei shook his head and said softly, "No, let's go to Jiang's house." β
Shi Dang responded in a deep voice, and led the convoy to the front of the mansion on Guangyuan Street in Dongcheng. At this time, the sky was dark, and the hundred-year-old courtyard was even more mottled and vicissitudes. There were two red lanterns hanging in front of the door, faintly reflecting the word 'Jiang Fu' on the door, but the bronze door was still tightly locked.
As if the situation of last month had reappeared, Shi dared to knock on the door, and the old man with pale hair poked his head out.
Fortunately, although the old man had a very white beard, he had a good memory, and he did not forget the identity of the visitor, and ordered someone to open the door while informing the inside.
After a while, the energetic old lady Jiang came out and entered the front hall with Qin Lei laughing and hand in hand.
The two sat down to watch the tea, and the old man smiled kindly: "Your Highness has you eaten?" β
Qin Lei shook his head calmly and smiled: "I want to say that I have used it, but my stomach does not agree." β
The old man laughed and said, "Okay, it's good not to treat the old man as an outsider." Although the old man had already eaten it, he said that he would not accompany His Highness to have another meal. As he spoke, he instructed the butler, "Prepare a meal for the prince," and the butler was about to go down, when the old man added: "Don't forget to get more wine and meat, and send it to the prince's attachΓ©." β
Qin Lei stopped the housekeeper and smiled warmly: "My subordinates are not happy if they have no meat, you can just put on some large pieces of pork, beef and mutton." As for me here, just serve a few plates of pickles and some porridge. β
Old lady Jiang shook his head and smiled: "Then how can it be done?" The little girl in Yunshang will blame the old man for being slack. β
Qin Lei smiled embarrassedly: "Yesterday I entertained all the Jinshi, but I had a hangover that didn't make a difference, everything I eat today tastes like chewing wax, let's eat some gruel to nourish my stomach." β
Only then did Mrs. Jiang bow his head and say, "Right." So he asked the butler to prepare as he was told.
For the cooks of large households, the porridge and side dishes are naturally caught, that is, in a quarter of an hour, the housekeeper will bring people a few jars of gruel and more than a dozen cool side dishes.
An old man and a young man happily entered the table, Qin Lei drank two bowls of yellow rice chestnut porridge in a row, and his body was really comfortable, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and smiled at the old minister: "The food in the house is very good for my appetite." β
Old lady Jiang twisted her beard and smiled: "How else to say, isn't it a family that doesn't enter the door?" β
Qin Lei said in his heart: "Your old face is really thick. After a few jokes with the old lady, it turned to the main topic, and the old man laughed: "The old man pondered repeatedly afterwards, and finally tasted some taste, and found that His Royal Highness was quite old and spicy in the process of eradicating Wen Yanbo." β
Qin Lei laughed softly: "The old lady has won the award, if there are not a few elders mediating in the back, I don't know how many baskets will come out of this matter." β
Jiang Taigong shook his head and smiled: "It is still His Highness's methods like antelope hanging horns, without a trace, which made Prime Minister Wen enter the urn unconsciously, we are just taking advantage of the situation." β
Qin Lei shook his head, not wanting to review that story, and said softly: "After Wen Yanbo left, Your Majesty finally took control of the power, and now there is a large-scale adjustment of the chiefs of the yamen of various ministries and academies, I am afraid that it will be the turn of the local feudal officials next month." β
The old prime minister nodded and said: "Yes, if you go on according to this posture, I'm afraid that before your cabinet can play a role, the court will become a hall of His Majesty's words." β
Qin Lei said softly: "So we need time, we must distract Your Majesty's attention and give the cabinet a chance to grasp power." β
"Will the plan be released?" Mrs. Jiang likes Qin Lei's chic strategizing very much.
Qin Lei smiled and said, "I was about to ask Old Master Ji." β
Jiang Taigong twisted his beard and smiled: "Judging from the old decay, His Highness has already paid attention. Come to me not to find some faith. β
Qin Lei paused the teacup and smiled unknowingly: "Anyway, please ask the old lady for advice." β
Jiang Taigong smiled slyly, but changed the topic elsewhere: "I heard that the girl next door has already lived in His Highness's house?" β
With a 'poof' sound, Qin Lei sprayed water on the ground, wiped his mouth and said with a wry smile: "The old lady has some virtue, I and Miss Li are innocent." β
The old prime minister laughed and said, "I believe it, but others don't believe it." β
Qin Lei said with a sad face: "When Miss Li is better, Mrs. Li will pick her up." β
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "That's good, Miss Li is not as good as my family, she is the eldest daughter of the daughter who was born in Beijing and grew up in Beijing, and she has been famous since she was a child, and those who propose marriage are about to break the threshold of her family." Saying that, he refilled Qin Lei's cup of tea and said: "To make an unpleasant analogy, it's like that little sheep, I don't know how many wolves are staring at it." β
Qin Lei smiled bitterly: "I really don't like it. β
"But it's not rough!" The old lady glared and said, "Do you think, if you marry such a girl who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you will not become the public enemy of the big family in Beijing." Said and smiled sincerely: "So it's better than my family's Yunsheng, who looks better than the Li family's daughter, and there is no one who knows her in Beijing, she is safe and practical, and she can be a bodyguard." β
Seeing that the old lady spared no effort to promote his granddaughter, Qin Lei couldn't cry or laugh, but this problem was really unsolvable, so he could only drag it out like this first to see if there was a chance to negotiate with the two families.
But Mrs. Jiang's question could not be answered, Qin Lei had no choice but to change his concept and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I will never give up Yunshang." β
How could the old man have thought that he had the idea of picking two rooms on one shoulder, and happily stroked his beard and smiled: "Good, good vision." I don't know when His Highness plans to go to Tangzhou for a job? β
Qin Lei said in his heart: "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry. But at this point, I can only honestly say: "It is said that it should be better earlier, but now we have to prepare for the big military exercise, and I want to wait for the end of the big military exercise and solve this problem immediately." β
Mrs. Jiang didn't care about the military's affairs, and said in her heart: 'Can a big military exercise last half a year?' Then he smiled and said, "Okay, then wait for the end of the military exercise, the old man is looking forward to drinking your happy wine." β
Seeing that he had finally come to an end, Qin Lei said with relief: "The old lady still has to talk about how to deal with it, so that the cabinet will not become a vassal." β
Speaking of business, Jiang Taigong also put away the disrespectful appearance of the old man, and said with a faint smile: "The old man has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has discovered a phenomenon, which yamen has great use, which yamen has great power, and his status is naturally high. So ......"
Qin Lei comprehended: "So if you want the cabinet not to exist in name only, you have to let it play an irreplaceable role." β
The old lady clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, so Your Highness, find something for Your Majesty to do." β
Qin Lei chuckled: "Do you still need to look for it?" Seeing that spring is about to begin, the five provinces in the east and north are going to survive the spring famine; Water conservancy projects in the Gyeonggi region have not yet been completed; Moreover, His Majesty has promised that this year there will be a nationwide re-registration of the population and a re-determination of the property tax burden; There is also our Great Qin's war reserves, which are at a historical low, if we don't step up the replenishment of grain and armor, once the war is opened, we will suffer a big loss. These things are going on at the same time, and if His Majesty handles them alone, he can't do it without eating or sleeping, and then he will naturally have to count on the cabinet. β
Old Lady Jiang shook her eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that the reason why Your Majesty wants to monopolize power is mainly because of the season...... The court in winter is too idle. From now on, we can't let the imperial court sit idle, until we know that everyone is used to the cabinet. β
Qin Lei smiled: "But there is a problem, how can you make Your Majesty realize this problem early?" He spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, it will be too late." β
"Let a few of them start writing excerpts, and put these problems in front of His Majesty's eyes in advance," Jiang Taigong is worthy of being a veteran of the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and with a roll of his eyes, he came up with a method: "If you want to make the problem more serious, for example, the spring famine will kill people, just write 'starvation is everywhere, and Yi Zi cannibalism', in short, how to make people cry, it is best to make Your Majesty sad and cry." β
"Then you can assign tasks to the heads of ministries and bureaucrats and feudal officials in advance." Qin Lei opened his eyebrows and smiled: "With a task on my body, Your Majesty naturally can't remove it lightly...... Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, righteous words, leaving no traces, and no side effects. β
The old prime minister laughed and said: "It's still a little bad, that is, the officials will be busier." β
"It's good to be busy, it's pleasing to the eye when you're busy." Qin Lei said without sympathy: "Holding the country's money, it's not for them to drink tea and walk the birds." β
