After Qin Lei promised that he would try his best to keep his mood happy, Wen Yantao also cooperated and returned to the class, without mentioning the guilt and appointment and dismissal of the southern governor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that the main owner retreated, the officials who seconded the proposal also retreated, and the meeting continued.

Next, to discuss some things like river disaster relief, Qin Lei was not interested, so he simply closed his eyes slightly to recuperate, and then found that Taiwei Li was standing diagonally opposite him, his eyes were also half-open and half-closed, just like himself. Feeling Qin Lei's gaze, Lao Li's eyelids raised slightly, the murderous aura in his eyes flashed, and then he closed his eyes again, and his fugue was too empty.

Qin Lei pursed his lips, and also closed his eyes to play chess with a man surnamed Zhou, and the two were playing fiercely, when they heard the third brother whisper: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, ......"

Qin Lei hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see that the hundred officials in the audience were all looking at him with a smile on their faces, so he heard the third child whisper: "Tian Minnong asked you about the south." Qin Lei nodded slightly, and arched his hand towards Emperor Zhaowu: "Please forgive my father, the child is just out of energy, and he is a little distracted." ”

Emperor Zhaowu said with concern: "Can Yutian support it?" Let's go to the apse and rest. "Fatherly affection is beyond words.

Qin Lei shook his head and said resolutely: "Father often teaches children to put national affairs first, how can children miss major things because of a little problem, don't worry, children can persevere!" ”

Emperor Zhaowu twisted his beard and praised: "My son is worthy of the example of the royal family and the model of a hundred officials, and he has not disappointed me." ”

The hundred officials below hurriedly echoed: "The prince has done his best, and he is a model for me......" but in his heart, he despised the brazenness of the two of them in unison, isn't it just a meeting to sleep, who hasn't it yet? It's as if he sacrificed his life for the country.

Since he had already said this, Tian Minnong naturally wanted to compliment His Royal Highness the King of Longjun first, and then said respectfully: "Lord, Your Majesty has asked your ministers to determine the taxes of the two southern provinces in the coming year, and I want to ask you what your opinion is?" ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "I don't know what Lord Tian's opinion is?" ”

Tian Minnong arched his hand and said: "Considering the actual situation in the south, the Prime Minister and our household department have discussed that the summer tax can be halved next year, and the autumn tax will be collected as usual. ”

Qin Lei raised his eyebrows and asked lightly: "I don't know how much disaster relief money the household department has allocated to the south, and how much more does it plan to allot?" ”

"Well...... Tian Minnong said: "You also know that the treasury has just come out of the predicament, and it is still too busy to take care of itself, but there is no spare energy to help the place." ”

Qin Lei let out an 'oh' and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Tian, Lord He Xitian, you have finally solved our number one problem in Great Qin." Xiao Wang is very curious, how did you solve it?"

"Lord Wang, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you want to say." But Wen Mingli was afraid that Qin Lei would take Tian Minnong to the gutter, so he couldn't help but interject.

Qin Lei frowned unhappily and said, "What is your surname?" Work in that department? Not satisfied with your salary? Want a change of scenery? ”

"This, that......" Wen Mingli was confused by him, and only reacted after a while, and said disdainfully: "Please ask the prince to come with something real, don't always gag and make people laugh." "He has been under the protection of his father and brother since he came out, and although he has become an official or a minister, he is still as calm as when he was a teenager.

Qin Lei squinted at him for a long time, and he looked at Qin Lei without fear. After a long time, Qin Lei said coldly: "You want to laugh at this king? The viciousness of this question, no matter how you answer it, you will inevitably fall into his trap, if you say yes, it is disrespectful to the prince. If not......

Wen Mingli said no, he was not completely brainless, and he also knew that the court had to maintain respect for the prince, and after thinking about it slightly, he said with a little weakness: "Weichen didn't mean that." ”

"What does that mean?" Qin Lei didn't let anyone.

"Wechen is talking ......," Wen Mingli said depressedly.

"Say what? I don't think you can say anything good. Qin Lei continued to grab white.

Wen Mingli was aggrieved, and said pitifully: "Can you let me finish?" ”

Qin Lei nodded, learning his tone, and said pitifully, "Can you let me finish?" ”

Wen Mingli found that he had also fallen into the language trap of this cunning prince, and he couldn't help but regret why he wanted to force this head, so he had to hesitate and say: "Please say ......" After speaking, he retreated into the train, lowering his head and not daring to raise it.

Qin Lei wanted to take care of him, but he had no choice but to leave it for next time. Looking back at Tian Minnong, he smiled and said, "Lord Tian, let's go on, what tricks did you use to get the treasury through the crisis?" It's good to teach the group of little rabbits in the south, so that they don't have to cry with the lonely all day long. These words not only pointed out the difficult situation in the south, but also implied his close relationship with the south, which made Tian Minnong quite hesitant.

Qin Lei also knows the truth of 'one fence and three piles', although he didn't expect others to help him, but since he still had to mix in Beijing, he couldn't be so stiff with everyone, otherwise it would be strange if he wouldn't be squeezed to death by these people in the future. It was because of his impulse to flatten Tian Minnong in his pressure, and he tried to be gentle: "The past is history, and it's okay not to mention it, but Lord Tian thinks about the current situation in the south, so don't go all out and fish, let them recuperate for a while,...... It's a lonely king, please beg you. In the end, I remembered the scene of hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders at Jingzhou Ferry. For the sake of these people who trust themselves, what does it matter if the lone king is wronged? Thinking of this, Qin Lei's voice actually softened, and for the first time in his life, he said the word 'ask'.

Not only in this life, it seems that he has never said this word in his previous life, and today for a group of people who rely on themselves, he finally broke the creed of 'only give and not ask' that has been insisted on for decades.

Tian Minnong felt Qin Lei's strong feelings, and knew that what he said was a matter, but yesterday, the prime minister instructed him to do something, and he struggled for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Weichen is very considerate of the prince and the difficulty of the south, but the court system cannot be abolished, otherwise where is the tax?" How to feed the army? Great Qin will also be in danger. "It seems that the bigger the official, the stronger the ability to go online, give him a fulcrum, and he will dare to say that he can pry up the sun; With a few palm presses, he dared to say that he was raping the earth.

At this time, the military department on the side, Che Weiguo, also came out to help: "Yes, Lord Wang, the household department still owes our army more than 2 million taels of silver, if it is still delayed in the next season, the army's combat effectiveness is worried." ”

Qin Lei saw that the people of the Li family also came out to speak, and finally understood that people didn't want to reorganize the two southern provinces, they wanted to pick up themselves, the king of the south, and tens of millions of fathers and elders would have to suffer from themselves. This realization made him a lot easier, and he looked at Tian Minnong with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Since Minnong doesn't know how to lift, the lonely king will add another king to the side of the word." ”

"What's that word?" Tian Minnong was a little stunned, so he listened to Wen Mingyi on the side and whispered: "Ball." ”

"Balls?" Tian Minnong lost his voice and said, "How can the prince scold people? ”

Qin Lei smiled and said: "The prince is a ball, go to your ......ball" The smile stopped abruptly, changed into a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Although Lord Tian sent people to the south to collect taxes, I believe that they will be the best recruit... Treat... Target! The last few words gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat Tian Minnong.

Tian Minnong suddenly remembered that this uncle had just cleaned up the Dali Temple that was in the way a few hours ago, and he was happy to touch his house tonight, so he couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly, and said with a forced smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, if you have something to say, it's all negotiable." It can be seen that Qin Lei's butcher image is still quite popular, at least his threat is very effective.

Wen Yanbo coughed lightly, but Tian Minnong didn't hear it, and said to Qin Lei with his own thoughts: "This matter is indeed a fault of the lower officials, please allow the lower officials to go back and think about it again, and strive to come up with a plan that is satisfactory to all parties, is it okay?" "This is the helplessness of being an official in troubled times, this is the sorrow of being a martial artist, Lord Tian sighed in his heart, if he provokes the prime minister, he will be demoted and deposed at most, but if he provokes a violent man like Qin Lei, he will lose his head if he doesn't get it right.

Wen Yanbo's face was a little ugly, and he stood there and bowed his hand slightly to Emperor Zhaowu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen also has a plan to play." ”

Emperor Zhaowu seemed to be a little tired, and said in a deep voice: "The last issue, the rest of the people have something to hand over." At this time, it was the end of the hour, and the court meeting had been held for nearly two and a half hours, which had dragged on for more than half an hour compared to usual.

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Then let the old minister tie this tail, in fact, it is not new, it is still about His Royal Highness King Jianjun." ”

Qin Lei's eyes narrowed suddenly, staring at Wen Yanbo coldly, seeing what tricks he was going to play, Qin Lei was already out of anger, this old thing didn't keep his promise at all, and he even wanted to talk about the fourth child again!

It's just that Qin Lei's unkind gaze can't bluff the head of the dynasty who has stood in the sea for decades, and he only heard Wen Yanbo say leisurely: "The old minister doesn't want to discuss whether His Royal Highness the King of Jianjun has done anything like robbing the people's daughters and seizing people's land, but just wants to remind Lord Xiaqu that the deficit of millions of taels in the household department cannot be faked, and the property worth more than two million taels of silver found from the palace of Jianjun is not fake." ”

said jokingly: "Dare to ask Lord Qu, a law-abiding prince, even if he leads the head of the inner government and is also the assistant head of the household department, how much time will it take to accumulate these two million taels of silver?" ”

Qu Yan said respectfully: "Back to Xiangye, the annual income of the county king is 15,000 taels, the annual income of the head of the inner government can be 5,000 taels, and the assistant household department also has an income of 2,000 taels, which means that the normal annual income of His Royal Highness the King of Jian County is 22,000 taels of silver, and it will take about 90 years to save these 2 million taels." ”

Wen Yanbo bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Master Qu," he said and looked at Qin Lei again, and said with a mocking face: "Lord Wang, how do you explain this huge amount of wealth?" "In the political struggle, in the end, it is always necessary to take huge amounts of property, and it is impossible to explain the source. Everyone has property that they can't understand, they have a handle, as long as they are politically defeated, they will be caught with this handle, and there are few times when they can't be caught, it is indeed convenient and practical, and it is very reliable!

Qin Lin looked at Qin Lei with a dejected face, only to see that he also had a gloomy face, and asked in a voice like ice: "If the Prime Minister has anything else to blame, let's talk about it together?" ”

Wen Yanbo smiled elegantly: "Isn't this enough? ”

"So that means there is none?" Qin Lei's face was still grim.

"It's kind of gone." Now that his daughter is back, Wen Yanbo's resentment towards the fourth child is slightly lighter, and the ** who wants him to go to hell is not so strong. Moreover, in the eyes of a person like Wen Yanbo, who values political life more than real life, it is even faster to bury Qin Ji's future and cut off all possibilities for his comeback than to kill him.

Qin Lei glanced at the third child, the third child nodded with difficulty, and said slowly: "As long as the Prime Minister promises not to pursue Qin Lin's problem, he will promise to ...... as his brother" As he spoke, he looked back at Emperor Zhaowu, and saw that the supreme's face was gloomy like water, but he didn't have the slightest intention of speaking for himself, Qin Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said astringently: "Qin Ji will ask himself to remove the title of county king, resign from all positions, and ...... for life No more! In the end, Qin Ji's eyes were already red, but his face was blue and purple, and he felt cold to the bone.

At this time, a pair of warm big hands held Qin Ji's cold hands, it was Qin Lei, he held Qin Ji's hand, his voice was like the cold wind in the extreme north, word by word, braving the cold and said: "If anyone dares to talk about Qin Lin again, just once, the Lone King will let him die without a place to be buried!" "Everyone, including the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can deeply feel the decisive murderous aura in King Longjun's tone!

Wen Yanbo smiled and was just about to speak, when he heard Qin Lei's voice explode: "Including you, Wen Yanbo!"

Wen Yanbo's face suddenly turned purple, and he said angrily: "The old man is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the head of the country, and a teacher, how can you call the teacher's name!" "The situation on the field suddenly became tense.

Seeing that the master was shooting the case, hundreds of civil officials rushed out and said in unison: "Please apologize to the prince!" ”

Li Hun pursed his lips and shook his head to stop the movement of the military attache team behind him, and watched the excitement on the side.

Time should be frozen at this moment, this moment when Qin Lei and one of the two giants went head-to-head for the first time......

At this moment, hundreds of civil officials in purple and red official robes, as they had done countless times before, stood firmly behind Wen Yanbo, using the strength of the group to confront the violent.

At this moment, a young king in a black robe, one hand pressed on the sword at his waist, the other hand held the hand of the brother behind him, and his eyes were fearless to meet the hundreds of gazes under the imperial stairs.

At this moment, Qin Lin stood behind Qin Lei, tears streaming down, but his fists were clenched tightly, he knew that he would never forget this moment, this scene, and the younger brother in front of him who stood out for the two elder brothers - his back was so straight, and his body was so burly and broad! Qin Lin finally made up his mind that after this scene, no matter what the result is, his choice will never change again!

At this moment, on the high imperial steps behind the two of them, there was a prince, his face was obscure, and his heart was obviously extremely struggling, he was a person who had always been wise and wise, he absolutely firmly believed that as long as he lived, there would be hope, so he carefully put away his feathers, never did a battle of will, as long as he felt that the situation would be unfavorable to him, he would not be strong nine out of nine. However, today, looking at the two younger brothers standing proudly at the foot of the steps, looking at them and the fearless team of the Manchu civil officials, Qin Ting's creed was loosened for the first time, and he felt that a fire that had long been extinguished was rekindled in his heart, and that fire also had a name - bloody!

At this moment, behind the three sons, on the high dragon chair, sat a Great Qin Emperor, his face was still gloomy like water, but a faint flame had already burned in his eyes, and he would not be as enthusiastic as the three sons. But at this moment, in the eyes of this Great Qin Supreme, this imperial step is like a small boat, carrying the Great Qin royal family, struggling in the stormy waves. He suddenly laughed silently - it was time to do something, or the show would be stolen by the imps.

And at this moment, in the eyes of nearly 100 military attachés, it is the civil officials who are in a group that once again bullied the scattered royal family, and they have a mentality of watching the play, waiting for the repertoire that has been staged countless times to repeat again.

Fortunately, a new horn was added to it, and the military attachés rejoiced, but they sighed tiredly, infighting! Infighting! Civil strife! When will it be a head!

Some people also set their eyes on the young prince who provoked the incident, wanting to see if he could create miracles as always, but they were surprised to find that the king of Longjun in the eye of the storm was extremely calm, as if he was walking in his own yard.

It's just that in those eagles' eyes, the infinite fighting spirit is burning!

Then let's fight!
