In the imperial study, there was a roar.

The ridiculous play was over. Emperor Zhaowu finally used seven million taels of in-laws to protect his three sons. You must know that the three years of the Great Qin Court add up to only six million taels.

looked at Wen Yanbo, who left satisfied, and the old bastard Li who gloated. Emperor Zhaowu was very aggrieved and painful. The pain of being falsely accused made him want to scold and even hit someone to vent. So Qin Lei was left behind.

Emperor Zhaowu got up from behind the bookcase, glared angrily at Qin Lei, who was honestly standing under the imperial steps, and said angrily: "You bastard, do you know that your sentence of the deal caused me to pay an extra two million taels of silver!" Two million! That's enough for the entire inner court for two years! ”

Qin Lei looked at Emperor Zhaowu who was blowing his beard and glaring, and he felt more down-to-earth in his heart. secretly scolded himself for being cheap, and looked at Emperor Zhaowu pitifully, looking frightened.

Emperor Zhaowu scolded for a while, and felt sorry for his money bag. hissed and said: "We don't have to talk about wealth in the East Qi and Southern Chu, and we will use up forty percent of the internal wealth accumulated by several generations of ancestors at once." I knew that Wen Yanbo, the old thief, had been staring at my in-law for a long time! ”

Qin Lei still doesn't have any concept of numbers, but he can't let the emperor sing a one-man show there. He said carelessly: "Father, let's slaughter the old thief back next time." ”

Emperor Zhaowu snorted disdainfully: "It's not enough to knock this old thief to the bones and boil oil!" Do you know why Wen Yanbo looks so ugly today? ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "It's probably poor and crazy." ”

Emperor Zhaowu laughed and said: "Yes, if there are no seven million taels, the household department will not be able to hold out the time when the summer tax will be put into storage." ”

Qin Lei was shocked and said, "Won't it?" ”

Emperor Zhaowu's mood gradually calmed down, and he sat down after returning to the imperial case, and sighed: "It is said that the world is divided into three parts, and Great Qin is also divided into three." ”

Qin Lei listened with some horror as the emperor said such taboo words. I said in my heart: "If you won't go out, just click me." Then I thought that it should be no problem for the emperor to commit his own taboos. Only then did I relax and continue to listen.

"Li Hun's old horseman is backed by a five-hundred-year-old family, and he is in charge of seventy percent of the world's soldiers and horses. The roots are deep-rooted and flourishing. Not what you can imagine. Qin Lei could clearly feel Emperor Zhaowu's jealousy of the Taiwei Mansion.

After talking about the Li family, Emperor Zhaowu said: "I have the name of the supreme, which is orthodox in the world, and the people of Li and the nobles are all worshiped by me. He also controls 30% of the world's military strength, 30% of officials, and 30% of financial power. Even Mrs. Li didn't dare to move a single bit. There was a bit of arrogance in the words.

Qin Lei listened to the emperor's self-evaluation silently, and knew that the prime minister was below.

Sure enough, Emperor Zhaowu said slowly: "And his literary family, although he has a hundred years, is a family of poetry and books, and he is an authentic Wenchen, and he has never had the opportunity to intervene in martial affairs." Do you know what's the downside of that? After speaking, he looked at Qin Lei thoughtfully.

Qin Lei said softly: "This is a bit congenital. At the critical moment, it is necessary to suffer a big loss than strength. ”

Emperor Zhaowu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it's good that you can recognize this at a young age." Who is in charge of the military power determines to a large extent who is in charge of the country. When he said this, Emperor Zhaowu's eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light.

Qin Lei couldn't figure out the meaning behind Emperor Zhaowu's words for a while, so he had to follow Emperor Zhaowu and said, "How did the Wen family and Taiwei be called together. "Qin Lei didn't say anything like 'three points', taboo this thing, Zhaowu himself can say whatever he wants, but when others say it, they will definitely make a blockage.

The corners of Emperor Zhaowu's mouth tugged up, obviously satisfied with Qin Lei's words, and said with a smile: "The Wen family could only be regarded as an official family thirty years ago, far from being comparable to the Li family. Until there was a stunning and brilliant Wen Yanbo. At the mention of this name, Emperor Zhaowu unconsciously sat up straight.

Only then did Qin Lei know that the emperor's fear of the Taiwei Mansion came from the Li family's terrible strength, and the fear of the Prime Minister's Mansion came more from the person named Wen Yanbo.

"It took Wen Yanbo twenty years to weave a net and set up an umbrella, and since then he has the strength to fight against me and the Li family."

"What kind of net is that? What umbrella? Qin Lei quipped.

Emperor Zhaowu said with admiration: "He weaved the officials of the world into a network of warp and weft, and used the strength of these countless officials to set up a protective umbrella. He protected himself, and he also protected all the officials in the world. ”

Qin Lei listened and muttered: "It is said that flowing water is not rotten, and the hub is not beetle." These officials have been stable for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will deteriorate. ”

Emperor Zhaowu said approvingly: "Little Wu, you are indeed the best one among the brothers. ”

Qin Lei was secretly vigilant in his heart, Emperor Zhaowu praised himself several times today, either openly or secretly, but there must be no good thing.

Emperor Zhaowu ignored Qin Lei's careful thoughts, and was still immersed in the pleasure of judging the power of the dynasty. He said sarcastically: "Networks, umbrellas, what are they used for?" This is used to protect officials and officials, form parties for personal gain, bend the law for bribes, and twist the law for personal gain. If all the officials in the world are honest and self-controlled, what do you want Rausch to do with a broken net and a broken umbrella?"

Qin Lei thought it was true, this Emperor Zhaowu was indeed not confused.

Emperor Zhaowu continued: "Later, if you are not greedy, you will be out of place and excluded from this net. Coming and going, all the officials of my Great Qin are greedy for ink and violate the law. The last eight words were said by Emperor Zhaowu through gritted teeth.

"Over the years, these moths have eaten up the property left by their ancestors, and even withheld part of the taxes. However, the country's military affairs, river work, disaster relief, pensions, etc., all need money, and if any of them are cut off, the country will have a big mess. Rao is his Wen Yanbo's ability to dismantle the east and make up for the west is unparalleled in the world, and now it is difficult to cook without rice. ”

Qin Lei's heart moved, and he suddenly thought: The alignment battle in the summer and autumn of last year must have contained the meaning of dragging down Prime Minister Wen. There was a resolute expression on his face.
